Miami Beach Strip Clubs: Martin Luther King Jr.’s image on strip club flyer is beyond disrespectful

Miami Beach graphic designer Jeffrey Darnell Paul must have been asleep in class during the lesson about “there’s a time and place for everything.” While most people were honoring Martin Luther King Jr. for his historical impact on equal rights and his eloquent “I Have a Dream” speech, Paul was busy creating a flyer for a Miami strip club depicting Martin Luther King Jr. holding a wad of cash, apparently ready to “make it rain” on strippers.

Here’s a news flash Paul: Martin Luther King Jr. and strippers don’t exactly belong on the same flyer. This is not a slight towards strippers or anyone else who engages in similar activities, but the message that Martin Luther King Jr. devoted the majority of his life to should never be clouded by images of half-naked ladies. The “I Have a Dream” message symbolizes unmatched faith and belief in equal rights and justice, not a message that should be haphazardly associated with “balling”, “making it rain”, “baby got back”, or “I’m in love with a stripper.”
