Let's Unlearn MLK

I thought being black was just a biological, genetic fact, nothing more.  And certainly, growing up, that's what we were taught to believe - it's just superficial, nothing more, MLK's content of character and all that.  Apparently this is wrong, being black is some sort of a "cause".
Rob Parker, a contributor for ESPN’s “First Take” morning show, questioned Griffin’s standing as a black man, asking whether the quarterback was a “cornball brother,” and later saying that the black quarterback is “not one of us.”
“He’s black, he kind of does his thing, but he’s not really down with the cause; he’s not one of us,” Parker said this morning. “He’s kind of black, but he’s not really the kind of guy you want to hang out with cause he’s off to something else.”
Cause, huh?  Good to know.  Guess it is time to unlearn all those inspiring moral foundations of the civil rights movement.
