A city in Mississippi became the subject of widespread scorn on social media Friday after its municipality declared that Martin Luther King Day would be recognized there as 'Great Americans Day'.
Biloxi, a resort town that lies on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico, invited harsh criticism from Twitter users on Friday after it announced that its municipal offices would be closed this coming Monday in observance of 'Great Americans Day'.
The third Monday of January is a federal holiday established to honor the memory of King, the slain 1960s civil rights leader.
Biloxi's post ignited a fierce backlash from critics who accused the predominantly white town of denigrating King.

Wow , who are the racist now , the democratic system voted and it's done. This is not a pure black country . What the hell is wrong with these people , we have a government and we must use it's rules if we want to survive. They don't like the flag , they don't like the statues , they don't like anything to do with whites. Africa needs these people , they will put them to work fighting in the wars they have had for 10,000 years.
