See, now I feel really old, because the only MLK Jr I can think of is the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior.
Sometimes I just haven't the first clue what young people are talking about.

That's the same MLK Jr I'm thinking of. That's basically what rm's third link says, and I'm just... boggled.

Apparently today is full of people making claims so bizarre that we assume we must have misinterpreted them...

That doesn't even compare ... it's not the same issue, not even the same world. These Trek people fail ... they just fail all over the place. I feel like pouring bleach on my eyes now, and then beating someone up for being stupid.

Sorry, but I've just been told elsewhere that Feminists Who Protest Institutionalized Sexism in The Comics Industry Are Stupid Because Comics Are Silly So Why Take Them Seriously, so now my sarcasm monitor needs to be sent into the repair shop.
