"NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Monday, January 17, 2022, as the Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday."

Also, "We must confront the scourge of racism and white supremacy — a stain on our Nation — and give hate no safe harbor in America." Thanks Joe but I'm sure that wasn't Dr. King's message. You missed something.

We've all seen the articles talking about how disgraceful it is that Robert E. Lee Day is also celebrated the same day as MLK Jr. Day in some states, but let me remind the morons out there that Joe Biden did not invent MLK Jr. Day, and Robert E. Lee Day was not created as a slap in the face to Dr. King. It's been a holiday since 1889 and coincidentally falls on the same day that Reagan declared as MLK Jr. Day back in 1983. In fact, Lee's holiday was placed on his birthday to make things easier. Now take this article from history.com and see how they spin the truth:

"But though the first (MLK Jr. Day) was celebrated in 1986, it took years for observance to filter through to every state. Several Southern states promptly combined Martin Luther King Jr. Day with holidays that uplifted Confederate leader Robert E. Lee, who was born on January 19."

They will try everything to convince us that racism is what we should be dealing with. They are way off the mark. Please read your history and never let the intentions of our ancestors be skewed by "fact-checkers" and "news outlets" that exist today.
