Thank You: Controversial Martin Luther King Jr. Twerking Party CANCELED Due To Ridiculous Flyer!
After seeing this flyer, I almost lost all hope of the human race. HOWEVER, after word broke that this super disrespectful party has been canceled due to the backlash it received, my faith has been semi-restored. In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, MLK was photoshopped onto a party promo flyer wearing a huge chain with an obnoxiously large gold medallion while throwing up the “West Side” hand sign to promote a “twerking party” for the long weekend. Once Dr. King’s family gained word of this blatant disrespect, they were outraged. At least they’ll be able to sleep better at night knowing this party has been SHUT DOWN!

MLK was born in Atlanta, Georgia. King, both a Baptist minister and civil-rights activist, had a seismic impact on race relations in the United States, beginning in the mid-1950s. Among many efforts, King headed the SCLC. RIP LMK.
