Around this time every year we reflect on the life of a great man, Martin Luther King Jr. aka MLK aka Tha Kang. When Martin died on the cross for our sins forty-one years ago he consummated the movement that today makes it possible for men like Tyler Perry to flood cable stations and movie theaters with modern day minstrel shows and unadulterated buffoonery. When MLK had a dream, he dreamed of a 6'5 black man dressed up in drag wielding a gun. He dreamed of hackneyed plot devices and broad, one dimensional characters. He dreamed of pandering to a specific demographic and milking that cash cow for all it was worth. This was his dream and we can proudly say that dreams do come true.
