    Yeesh. Is it too much to ask that MLK's kids not be complete jerks? The Bush's...sure. The Kardashian's...most certainly, but c'mon, really, MLK kids?


    Also, out of curiosity, what do the kids actually do? Do they have jobs, or are they just sitting around trying to squeak money out of their father's apparently dead legacy, since it doesn't look like any of them hold public office?


    I may not want to know the answer.

    Actually, they're pissed because Leo DiCaprio will play Dr. King.

    I live in Atlanta and every year we volunteer for community service projects and go to the presentations for MLK Day and "A Day On Not A Day Off" and every year it becomes more of a disgrace to his name. Clearly the money is going towards lining someone's pockets and not going towards investing in the maintenance of the historical sites or funding the projects. What an embarrassment everyone's behavior is.

    Haha. I laughed out loud. Atlanta isn't so bad. I mean I'm black so you have to take that into consideration too but overall I like it.

    As your father suggested, Dexter, we might judge on the content of your character.


    You okay with that?
