Black Monday is Coming
It has become a yearly tradition to descend on Vegas with a dozen friends or so to celebrate the life and lessons of MLK. I will be attending black monday this year with guys from all over the country. At least once while we are there we will pause and consider how our lives would be different without the sacrafices and impact of MLK. That moment may come when someone hits a two outer on us or when the stripper asks for a tip, but that moment will come. The reminder for me that we are there in honor of the great man is when I look around at the faces of the guys with me, such diversity. Jews AND Asians and a few Wasps and maybe, possibly, an actual black person. He wont be with us, he will be playing the lottery.

I think it's a good mix. Diversity sucks when you start letting everybody in.
You should send this heartwarming passage to your local newspaper as a letter to the editor.
