Is there a point to celebrating Martin Luther King Day?

Question: where do you think 'the media' gets its agenda from? The press isn't independent from the rest of society.

The government. But the government uses 'the media' to push their agenda. The media's just a theatrical show, and this is what alot of people don't realize. This is why it's pointless to argue about race.

Blaming 'the media' for perpetuating racial tension without looking at the interests behind the media (i.e. wealthy white people) isn't actually dealing with the problem. It's a cop-out. You're just trying to pass off the responsibility for the racial divide in America away from the people who actually created the problem in the first place.
