And you have to work it despite being part African? Then to make it worst theyre out treating it like an extra day off of work when had you/i gotten the day off my ass would be at an MLK day event or exhibit honoring the king.

In theory if you don't get it off, your PTO should account for that and give you an extra personal holiday so you can take it off if you like. If you have it off the company is really treating you worse because it is forcing you to take that day off as opposed to choosing to or not. Like when I had it off (and Presidents Day as well), I only had two Personal Holidays for my PTO, instead of the four I have now.

That is unless you are part time, in which case you are probably getting screwed in other ways as well.

Just going by your title, i think you missed that whole part about not being judged by the color of your skin but by the content of your character.

Being white and being not only a part of MLK's Peace and rights movement (which by the way he intended for all people regardless of color) and one of the founders of Earth Day I find this topic not only insulting but racist. I have just as much right to celebrate that great man's legacy as anyone. you aren't concerned with MLK, just that you didn't get the day off. SMH

You certainly can celebrate the life and movement of Dr King. My argument is those who dont care yet are rewarded with time off.

That's how national holidays work, period. I don't think I've had a single holiday off this past year, so... *shrug*
