Um, I commend the intentions of this event and where the money is going, but was it really necessary to draw MLK and Obama dancing to a stereo? Also, a free Colt 45?? WTF? Kind of offensive if you ask me.

The money's going to the MLK memorial fund, as it says on the flier (although I could see how you could miss it since it's kinda small).

Also so what if we had a little fun and had them dancing? I think it's cute. Yea I knew some people would be worried about the Colt 45 thing, but how many events has Colt 45 sponsored w/o anyone saying a word about it, and now that one event has to do with black people a few people care?

Out of curiosity, what race are you? Because I'm black and everyone who I approached about it who was black had no problem with it. The only people I knew who had a problem about it were self-righteous white people.

Appreciate the concern though. I would say there's a lot more important instances of racism to address though.
