OK I'll go ahead and say it...Martin Luther King Jr. Would be ashamed of what has become of his race.

[quote:UNkLE |3UCK:MV8yMTE3MDc1XzM1NzAxMzk3XzlGODMxNEQ0] [quote:Rising Son:MV8yMTE3MDc1XzM1NzAxMTQ5X0NFMTE5M0Yw] I am afraid you are correct, OP. Dr. King was well before his time, and his dream and legacy is a testament to the wisdom and vision that he had, which has lived on long after he was taken from us. One of my favorite quotes from him is this one: "I have a dream 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." Dr. King, in words that ring as true as those spoken by Christ Himself, reminded America and the world to look into a person's eyes and see their heart, rather than differentiate from them because the color that God painted them is not the same as yours. [/quote] I'm pretty sure those who have come to dislike them, in times more current, is because they have done just that- judged them by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. His request had been honored. [/quote]
Original Message
King was a brilliant man who wanted equality of the races, not a role reversal. I'm sick and tired of being accused of being racist for stupid crap like not wanting Obama as president or questioning if Trayvon Martin may have been killed in self defense. Totally fed up with "those people" turning everything into a race issue...
