What would MLK say?

What you are looking at in this picture (click and come back if you need a better view) is a picture of the MLK Day Rally in Columbia SC this past Monday.

It is being staged on the Statehouse Steps, and that statue on the left that is boxed in and cloaked in black, is none other than the 'Father of our Country', George Washington, First President of the United States.

The NAACP organizers of the rally explained that the statue of General Washington was covered up 'so as not to offend anybody'!!

Say what?

Fortunately the good people of this country would never do it, but can you imagine the outcry if on George Washington's Birthday, or the 4th of July, the Nation's Birthday, where ever parades were held, Dr King's statues were draped with black bed sheets........ Katy bar the door!!

Like I said, fortunately the good people of the country would never do such a thing........after all, what would MLK say?
