Today, I told my mom we get Monday off due to Martin Luther King Jr. day. She then insisted that I had to go to school because that is "only for black people." FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, MLK Jr. Day, I was told that since my other co workers are on vacation, I have to be at work Today. No one else is at work Today...or on any other holiday. Also I am the only black person at my office. The irony, FML
Today, my daughter actually asked me who Martin Luther king Jr was. This girl, this African American daughter of mine, with full access to the internet, who has completed a college education, doesn’t know who one of the most important black men in history is. I need to lie down. FML
Today, I had to slowly and very seriously explain to my mother why there is no 'White History Month'. I can't believe we are actually related. FML
Today, I was stuck on a campus tour with my subtly racist mother who, in an attempt to seem open-minded, deemed it appropriate to refer to our black tour guide as "Sistah". FML
Today, I became the town racist for saying "black" instead of "African-American". I'm black. FML
Today, I had to drag my grandmother out of a store because she went up to a black family and started apologizing for slavery. FML
Today, my mother called me a bad son for not telling her "Happy Mother's Day". When I told her Mother's Day wasn't until the 10th, she said that I would have forgotten anyway. FML
Today, my mom told me to do karate with her, and so I said no. Now my mom won't let me do anything until I go do karate with her. FML
Today, I had my first day off in six months. My mother immediately came down to my room and demanded that I clean the entire house. As I was cleaning, she said, "You don’t get to relax. Ever. Lazy ass." FML
Today, apparently, I can't have a bad day. After school, mom asked me if I'd had a good day. I told her no. Without asking, she went on a tirade about how unsociable I am and how poor my attitude is. I was harassed all day by my classmates because I don't wear expensive brand name clothes like they do. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

With her logic, they should have a Ceasar Chavez day because I need a break.

See, that's missing the point so badly that you hit another point entirely.

that's a stupid thing to say! So she really believes that every race except blacks will be at school?

MLK day is more than just a day off it celebrates human dignity which all races should rejoice in and hopefully you can shed some light on your mother.

I'm sorry. I appreciate your message, but I have to point out that it looks like it's coming from Eminem.

The post isn't about not knowing what to do with her day, it's about her mother being an idiot. Her life is "******" because she is forced to live with a woman who doesn't have any knowledge on a very memorable historical figure, let alone is holiday.

Your mom is an idiot. I'm sorry I could not sugarcoat the reality of your situation.
