City Replaces ‘Marin’ Luther King Sign

This is part of the “dumbing down” process taking place everywhere in America. The people who make these signs can’t even spell.

It’s funny how people online think spelling is so unimportant. And yet, here we see the result of that kind of apathy. When standards are ignored we get expensive street signs misspelled.

It sounds like it’s time to revisit this classic photo from a 2007 Martin Luther King Day rally:

Somebody please tell me it was an affirmative action contractor who did this.

What, no spellcheck feature on the computer used to generate the sign?

“Typos are human, but this particular one is tougher to understand in Atlanta,..”

Uh, not really.

Tough to understand? Hardly. It actually makes MORE sense in Atlanta due to the fact that the majority of DOT and city employees are Affirmative Action hires. The [work] force is decidedly black.

At least they didn’t spell it the way I hear it often pronounced.

“mautean looten KING.”

For crying out loud, it was close enough!!! What do you expect from dumbed-down America?

Just because blacks worship Martin Luther King doesn’t mean they’re learning anything. Please post this embarrassing photo in which the catchphrase, “I have a dream,” is misspelled twice by two different black protestors IN THE SAME PROTEST.

There’s always the classic, “Thank you James Earl Ray”:

And the black-infested Charlotte (NC) school system recently handed employees beverage coasters with the word “education” misspelled.

When reading a news story about blacks, one often wonders, “Is this real or is this from ‘The Onion’?”

Hey that bis racist. Marin Lurther King is right by the rules of ebonics. Why must we stick to the Eurocentric ‘Martin’?

Little matter that. With a little perspicacity and 10 seconds worth of research they could have easily discovered that even the correct spelling would be inaccurate, and to do service to the truth, they should rename the boulevard “Mike King Street”- or yet ““‘Daddy’ King Street”.
And since they dont (yet) pass out PhDs for plagiarism, guess they ought to toss out the “Dr.” part, and the “Reverend” part as well.
…
Incidental question: Are all MLK Boulevards Boulevards? or are there any MLK Avenues? MLK Streets?
Dont think so.
King is not a king-nor yet is he even a (mere) emperor. The [man] is nothing less than a divinity, therefore no appelative less than boulevard is permissable.
As Mel Brooks says, “Its good ta be da King” …natch?

YourDutchUncle:

St. Louis’s Martin Luther King is a Drive (Dr.), even though it’s more like a boulevard. There is an MLK Bridge between St. Louis and East St. Louis.

San Diego has a Martin Luther King Freeway.

I think the MLK street here in Berkeley is an “Avenue.”

White Nationalists should adopt the jokester style of the left’s Abbie Hoffman in the “60’s,” and celebrate each MLK, Jr. Day with a giant, hugely publicized memorial service for all the persons shot in the preceding year on streets named “Martin Luther King, Jr. (whatever).”
