Niggas Ain't in Canada: Appropriation, Blackness, and MLK

On the way home from a meeting with The Great Him (which may be classified as an ass whoopin' by some lol), I turned on my radio to listen to a live radio broadcast from a party in ATL. I love to listen to the mixes, so I turned my radio up. And just as quickly turned it all the way down when I heard:


"I see you birthday girl! Shake it! The Dream is still alive! MLK 2011!"


*Nellie Quander level side-eye here* (Happy Founder's Day, Sorors!)


Okay, pause. So all I have to do is shake my ass and Dr. King's dream is alive? When in doubt, go to the club. I'll make a note.
