The MLK Twerk

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”---Martin Luther King Jr.

I don't know what is going on right now with our communities and twerking but it's not what's up.

But wait, what is the MLK Twerk?

Are we really having twerk contests on a celebration day of a man who is profound throughout the world?

OmG

When I saw that on FB that they were having a twerking session on MLK Day, I just had to look twice at the computer screen. Have we really resulted to this?

Wow.
I just wish people would show more respect towards Martin Luther King, Jr.
This is a holiday that took forever to be recognized by many predominantly white suburban schools and businesses.
This is a holiday to recognize a man that believed in equality and stood by his word no matter what anyone else thought or had to say.
This is a holiday that our children should know about and should want to partake in events that will help them gain more knowledge about this prominent man.
This is NOT a holiday for twerking or the best twerker.

Its ridiculous that some people think that this is a joke or that its funny because it isn't.
Where is the respect? Where is the compassion for what the holiday is really about?

I couldn't believe that they seriously created an event on MLK Day.
An event to twerk.

We need to do better people. 
Hopefully everyone will honor MLK for his service that he has brought to the world. 

Happy MLK Day and please don't twerk, just respect this day. Thank you.
