title:  Racist Mississippi Town Gives MLK Day A New Name, And Twitter ANNIHILATES Them For It (TWEETS)
text: The City of Biloxi, Mississippi tweeted out a notice to all its residences Friday afternoon saying that non-emergency offices will be closed this coming Monday. Monday is when the country is officially observing Martin Luther King, Jr. s birthday, so that makes sense. But their notice didn t say MLK Day, Martin Luther King Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. s birthday, or anything like that. No, they tweeted out the following:Image via TwitterYes, seriously, they re calling MLK Day  Great Americans Day.  So Twitter is busy blowing them to smithereens for it, as well they should:@CityofBiloxi (Even the state calendar of holidays doesn t say it. Maybe you got mixed up with Six Flags Great America? Good coasters there) pic.twitter.com/p1NoR0uyCC  Cabel Sasser (@cabel) January 14, 2017@CityofBiloxi delete your account  Luke Beard (@LukesBeard) January 14, 2017.@CityofBiloxi Because if you accidentally say MLKs name 3x, he ll appear & force you, against your will, to be a decent human being.  Allison Robicelli (@robicellis) January 14, 2017@CityofBiloxi you are a bunch of fucking racists.  J.

There is Martin Luther King Jr Day.  Tom Coates (@tomcoates) January 14, 2017@CityofBiloxi @ironghazi @D2_Derpinator @fakemikemulloy @trillballins @ThatBoysGood please virally embarrass this city.

Noooo they said this instead:Image via TwitterThe funny thing is that the state s website doesn t say  Great Americans Day  under their list of state holidays, and a quick search on Google reveals a whole ton of nothing. There are  Great Americans Days  everywhere, but they re celebrated all year long. So who renamed MLK Day if it wasn t Biloxi?There might be some interesting goings-on in Biloxi next Tuesday.Featured image by Chris Graythen via Getty Images
