How could you put Martin Luther King, Jr. and Heath Ledger in the same post? SHow some respect and honor Dr. King for even making it possible for YOU to have rights in this country. Why do you hate Black people so much?
How could you put Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Heath Ledger in the same post? Show some respect and honor Dr. King for even making it possible for YOU to have rights in this country no matter how small (i.e. a gay celebrity gossip blog). Why do you hate Black people so much? Remember that YOU are standing on the shoulders of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don't understand your reaction, why is it such a problem to put them in the same post? i mean they both died tragically and maybe Heath didn't change the world but he was still a great actor and a good man, he was very young, he didn't even reach 29! stop telling he wanted to die because it's not true!MLK is one of the men I respect the most, he was so brave and made so many things, i really respect that and what he wanted was tolerance, he thought that all the humans were equal. don't you think you're untolerant with Heath if you don't want him in the same place as MLK? for me it's a kind of segregation, it means that MLK worths better than Heath and yet they were both human beings, and both of them died too young so i think it's a good thing to remember them today and we're not going to do a post for each people according to his "value". i'm sorry if you disagree with me but Heath might have been "just an actor" he was important to me and the way you talk about him shocked me and it's not an insult just remembering him.
mentioning them in the same breath? heath ledger didnt do anything except be such a junkie that he left behind a daughter pennyless. he didnt do anything to inspire anyone except for midwestern downlow married gay cowboys? hmm.
RIP doctor martin luther king jr!
Very nice P. Thank you for the reminder.
Re: horsehungBoston – You MUST be able to go fuck yourself and the biggest ASSHOLE too!
Sorry…but how would you put MLK and Heath Ledger in the same post? That's freaking ridiculous perez…i'm disgusted.
Re: ms wonderland –
How can you support MLK and put down someone who portrayed a gay man in a movie, MLK fought for equality for all. You want to see blacks progress but not someone else who is a minority as well. People need to get their priorities right, dumb niggs should keep their mouth shut and see the big picture instead of their small minded agenda.
Remind yourself that blacks make up only 12% of America, gay people make up 10%, thats a pretty close statistic, if you choose to fight for rights you're fighting in the same boat. Like I said before blacks have had their rights for years but they still choose to bitch, that's why everyone hates you. Obama sucks too.
Re: HOLLA – Tsk Tsk Tsk! Is that any way to talk about your OWN people? Your great-great grandmother was a SLAVE on my family's plantation until we freed her! It seems that YOU'RE the slave now. Slave to self-hatred, bitterness and stupidity! Well PRESIDENT Obama will just have to deal with you when he gets to the White House!
Re: c – THANK YOU, YOU SANE PERSON.
Mentioned in the "omgsh same sentence! same breath!" whatever, a big FUCK YOU to you who has said that. Chill your ass out.
Goddamn, read the title of the post. IN MEMORIAM.
Nothing about race, what they had done, who they were, etc.
It's a post dedicated to 2 people deceased and how they're both coincidentally remembered on the same day today.
God bless you both.
RIP MLKing and Heathcliff
Deeply, you 2 mean a lot to me.
and Happy Birthday to you Heath!
Miss you
You have to really feel for his family, it's been a few months, yet the gossip hasn't stopped
Today is also my birthday!
What the holy fuck is Heath Ledger doing in a memorial post for Martin Luther King Jr.?
HAHAHA= only you, Perez, would put both those people in the same item! I can't decide if you meant to be funny or not. An assasinated (by a white person NOT by white people) civil rights leader, and a drug overdosed australian. That may be the only time in history those two opposites will share a space.
wow lets put both of those people in the same fucking sentence- they aren't even close. mlk is probably rolling in his grave because of you
Both great men, for very different reasons.
Let's not forget either one.
does it really matter, they're two separate statements!!! it's not the same sentence and he's just reminding us of 2 people that have passed away, which is a good thing. Most of you who post here are pathetic.
srsly?? black people are complaining about racism??? black people are more racist than white people!! and white people are the minority, honestly if a black person called a white person a racist name nothing would happen to them but if a white person called a black person a rasist name then the whole fucking country would be hearing about it! MLK stood for what was right and HL was a great actor who fucking cares if they're in the same post.

Martin Luther King Jr. and Heath Ledger
Heath i miss you so much! i LOVED u in 10 things i hate about you! i thought u were really hot! lol and of course a great actor
and Dr. King, I cant say that I miss you b/c you werent alive in MY lifetime, but I would like to say that I have always looked up to you as a hero ever since I was a little girl, and you are the one who encouraged me to stand up for what I believe in in a non violent way, because there can only be two things:
Nonviolence or Nonexistance
RIP Dr. King and Heath

GIVE HEATH CLIFFEND A REST he deserves none of this, he saved ur asses like spacecowboys do like mountains, i have a horse called broke and he broke his back on a mountain this isnt a coincidence CONSPIRACY!!!!!!
Seriously Perez? Mentioning Heath and MLK in the same post. I mean, as a gay man, i love Heath as much as anyone. However, are you really going to compare the two? Love you, bitch!
im just totally amazed by the ignorant comments…personally I only cared about heath in brokeback mountain…now if it was jake i would've been a little bit more caring…but ANYWAY…I can't believe some of you just disregard king's death and are like "R.I.P HEATH" or "I LOVED YOU HEATH" guess what, he never loved you and didn't even know that you existed. how about you do everyone a favor and kill yourselves so you can join him. and you e-racists…I love how people are so bold behind a computer screen smh its 2008 racism is so 1950's
Heath Ledger was a great actor, but he died because he did too many drugs. Martin Luther King was a cultural icon who promoted peace throughout the world. Today commemorates the day he was tragically taken from us by someone else's bullet. The least we can do is give MLK his own damn posting. MLK's death was an actual tragedy. Heath Ledger, unintentionally or not, took his own life…and that's the facts.
+RIP Heath.. Always in our thoughts..+
Somehow, they don't seem to fit into the same category…. While I respect both, you should have done two DIFFERENT entries for these two distinctly different people. SMH…
MARTIN LUTHER KING WAS A KNOWN FAG WHO WAS MOSTLY KNOWN FOR TAKIN IT UP THE ASSHOLE. HE DONE HAD A LOTTA DICK GOING IN AND OUTTA HIS ASSHOLE. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT MARTIN LUTHER KINGS ACTUAL CAUSE OF DEATH WAS AIDS
Re: HASBEEN – THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR READING YOUR OWN DIARY! I READ THAT DR KING ACTUALLY FATHERED YOU! NO WONDER YOU'RE SOOOOOOO BITTER AND HATE WOMAN AFTER WHAT YOUR MOTHER DID TO YOU! BUT YOU KEEP ON SHOVING THAT FOOT LONG DILDO UP YOUR ASS AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FUCK SOME BRAINS INTO YOURSELF! HA HA HA WHAT A LOSER!
#144 - HASBEEN
Shouldnt you be out back french-kissing a donkey?!? I hear its getting tired of your lame-ass blowjobs!
MORON!
Happy James Earl Ray day
Yeah, because Heath Ledger and MLK are worth mentioning together in the same post. Ass.
perez - you are a loser for this post, and you know why. I hope people boycott your site so you can watch your ad-revenue dry up. loser.
fuck you for trivializing Dr. King by lumping him in with an actor
Re: A WHITE MAN WROTE THAT SPEECH –
What the hell is wrong with you? Get with the times and shove your racist mentality up your ass. You to HOLLA…though I'm pretty sure you're the same person…heartless jerk. You won't be LOLing when you're burning. >:}
Re: HASBEEN –
Now you…I think you just might need to kill yourself…really…please.
both of them, rest in peace. they both inspired people, just in different ways. they shouldn't be forgotten.
:(
mlk was also a communist a plagerists and a whoremonger
Perez,
Stick with the celebs. Don't mention MLK your readers aren't smart enough. Please stick to what you know. Drugged alcholic sluts. MlK shouldn't even be mentioned on your site.
Re: Who cares –
You soundlike a racist. I can't stand Racist people. You are the seed of Satan.
Re: amycakes – MLK was actually a "peacemaker."He was like Jesus, Ghandi, and Bob Marley. They were all prophets of their time. The CIA destroyed the Black Panthers and other non-violent Black revolutionists. At first MALCOLM X was fighting for"Black Power" but then He was assasinated by His OWN (Nation of Islam) members. His "own" betrayed him. He took a trip to Mecca and realized that Muslims came in so many various colors.Blacks,whites,and so on…. This was a turning point for Malcom X's life. He eventually changed some of his views and the Nation of Islam didn't approve of this…AT ALL! ANd I am Black.
Re: HOLLA – You are so stupid…why are you posting this assanine comment when you use an African-American term,"Holla." You are the typical racist who likes Hip-hop and have black friends. I detest IDIOTS like you.
Re: HOLLA – Burn in Hell! RACIST
Re: HOLLA – Stop the Hate!
Re: Kim M – You must be a druggie.
Re: A WHITE MAN WROTE THAT SPEECH – Apparently, you don't know your history. Perhaps, you should pick up a book and read it. Sadly, you probably don't even know your own history. All you know is how to talk gibberish. You are sooooo IGNORANT.
Re: whoismarthin – Google Martin Luther King and you will find out. Educate yourself and dont' be left ignorant.
Re: 3 – Yes…that's your opinion. He was one of the greatest who changed the way we live. He was about peace. Honestly. I don't know what you consider great and I don't want to find out.
