Journalist Compares Macklemore to Martin Luther King Jr. (@macklemore)
Seattle rapper Macklemore is being praised for helping raise the importance of marriage equality with his hit single “Same Love,” which led to one journalist comparing him to Martin Luther King Jr. The article was written on TheDAOnline, and likened Macklemore’s support for gay rights to those of civil rights.
“In the same way that MLK dreamed that “my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character,” Macklemore dreams that one day “my uncles can be united by law,” and there will be no more “kids … walking ’round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart / A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are.”
Do you think the comparisons are justified, or far-fetched?
