King’s Dream has been fulfilled. The power of his message rings true. It was modest in it’s intent because it outlined only the framework by which racial harmony can grow. In communities all over the country we have thousands of Obamas and even more Oprahs; politicians, journalists, fire chiefs, judges and doctors thanks to the Dream.

Dr. King began his dream when his own children had to be bussed to and from a black school everyday, when there was a school near his home. This was wrong, and he fought it.

Today, in this age, some white boys are not returning to a school because the school harbors bigotry about white boys not being equal to one black female's accusations.

We've a ways to go, Dr. King. Still a ways to go.

. . . King’s Dream has been fulfilled. The power of his message rings true. It was modest in it’s intent because it outlined only the framework by which racial harmony can grow.

Are you crazy? You can't say that! That would mean that Affirmative Action is passe! That would mean that if a kid doesn't study it's his own dumb fault, not whitey's!

That would mean that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are holding back the people they say they are representing! It would mean that it is legitimate for a person to not vote Democrat!

</sarcasm>

We have a long way to go before poverty is eradicated or even when slavery becomes a thing of the past, but thanks to Dr. King we have a blue print for working towards a common mission.
Yeah!

</sarcasm>

King's dream isn't fulfilled, it's dead, sacrificed on the alter of multiculturalism, victimhood, and racial politics.

Today, EVERYBODY is judged by the color of their skin, their nation of origin, their religion, their gender, and just about any other distinctions we can label.

The law requires it, the culture expects it. We are becoming a balkanized nation, one that will surely fall as a majority of it's citizens no longer cares about being an "american", instead considering themselves primarily part of their own particular groups.
