What Are Some Ways You Can Celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr That Do Not Appear Condescending To Your Black Friends If You Happen To Be White?

Leon and I took a day off on Monday to conduct the research to answer the above question. We have concluded the following 10 activities are okay for white people within the context of MLK day:
  1. Organize a sock drawer.
  2. Think about buying an electric tie-rack
  3. Watch the 1985 film Cocoon.
  4. Reflect upon the 1985 film Cocoon.
  5. Talk about the 1985 film Cocoon with a white friend.
  6. Cut out coupons that you will never use.
  7. Try to name as many movies that feature senior citizens as the protagonists. For example, the 1985 film Cocoon.
  8. Imagine yourself as a high school gym teacher. Write a short essay on what your grading policy would be.
  9. Drive to a town that's out of your way because you faintly remember someone saying that gas was cheaper there.
  10. Organize any gift cards you have in any of the following ways: by expiration date, by store's proximity to your home and by color.
