“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.” – Martin Luther King, Jr., August 28, 1963
Because of people like Barack Obama and the Democrat Party, it will remain only a dream.
There are few public figures I find more distasteful than those who profit by constantly stoking racial resentment. This goes doubly for “pastors” like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
@ZtG – Isn’t it nice to see pastors taking up King’s message of harmony?
Barack Obama has a dream that the United States will no longer be a nation.
It really is sad that when you do judge someone on the content of their character you are accused of judging them on the basis of the color of their skin.
I do admit, when I first heard and to this day, being emotionally stirred by MLK’s “I Have A Dream” speech.
At the opposite end of the scale, I also admit to being emotionally stirred whenever I think of the current ₱(WHOOPS)-resident in the White House!
it may comfort Dr. King to know that we have judged the occupant, not by his race but by his character. It would sadden Dr. King to realize that the occupant has no character, no class, no brain, and hates the country.
True dat. I’ve learned contrary to what I’ve understood for the last 50+ years that the only way to know who to vote for is to look at the color of their skin. As long as they’re not white you should vote for them. All blacks are the same, all whites are the same, all hispanics are the same. So it doesn’t really matter who the person is it’s the color that counts. I’d like to thank the democratic party for this education. It’s a shame I spent all that time believing that you should judge people by their character and their actions, which I was taught by my parents. I’m been educated now.
I watched that mans speech today, and got through it OK because my wife kept flipping between that and Lizzard Lick Towing at random intervals.
I have to give bacon to that minister at the end who gave the benediction and managed to slip in a few straight words from the prophet Micah,
“He has showed you, O man, what is good;
and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?”
Micah 6:8
