Comparing MLK and Columbus is asinine at best. And When people make asinine statements like yours and continue to make the after they are told they are asinine. Then you just don't bother anymore.
It was my fault for reeding the troll.
Got a tip for us?

The holidays, not the people.

Clearly
And the problem is? I'm sure Apple had resumes from women or others they just threw in the trash, right?
Whilst your sentiment is good, you may want to think about the way you describe these, considering the argument you're making.
Considering Columbus day is celebrated in many countries around the world, I guess you are correct. It would be like comparing a little city hick town holiday to the fourth of July.
I stand corrected.
It's a federal holiday that (in 2016) shouldn't be controversial. Why is it relegated to the PSI section?
You might not have read this thread all the way from the beginning. It is pretty clear that some of the people here are not living in 2016. Far from it.
Why is tax avoidance be related to being philanthropy or not? Hey, in that direction, you could also claim, the more you donate to CIA or all other armies only stay on other countries' land, the more philanthropy you are.
Why is Apple not philanthropy by offering a lot of work opportunities to the poor people? On the contrary, it's exactly philanthropy.
Just wanted to let you know that I logged in for the sole purpose of up-voting you. I like Apple products and all but there is nothing about what you said that is wrong! The others saying that Apple is "better than most corporations" is a little like saying Fidel Castro is "better than most dictators." He was still a dictator.
Edit: Apologies for the double post!

We can't ask King, but ask anyone who has earned the title 'Reverend', and they will agree that by excluding it Apple is not using his proper title.
It simply does not matter if you don't agree with what his 'Reverend' title stands for (that's your opinion), but you cannot deny what it meant to him -AND- that it was the inspiration for his good works.
Wrong, dropping his 'Reverend' title is an issue, especially to him (although he doesn't have to worry about that now). Apple included his 'Dr.' title to honor him, which is proper, but fails to honor his calling, which most certainly was most important to him. In fact, his only purpose of education (in Systematic theology BTW) was to be called as a Reverend.
And actually we don't even have to ask him. He most certainly would have insisted that history refer to him as 'Reverend' BECAUSE he believed that his good works were accomplished through him merely as a vessel of his faith. He would not have pursued that calling as a Reverend if that were not true. If you don't agree with this YOU are calling him a hypocrite, and really don't understand the first thing about the man.
Again, it does not matter if you don't agree with his believes, but these are his beliefs. You cannot deny this.
Then you are calling him silly. It's just that simple. Sorry you don't understand this, but it is fact.
Honoring his works over his calling is an affront to everything he believed in. He would be saddened to know his name is being maligned for marketing purposes.
Lol what? Because I don't agree with your unnecessary rant and ridiculous claim that Apple is besmirching the good Reverend's name, I am somehow now insulting MLK? Okay then.
Sounds like some people just choose to find misery in anything.
I'm living in 2012, the dark days where mothers ate their babies and gangs rode around on flaming motorcycles terrorising the population.
