This is a fairly accurate representation of what I have seen going on in black communities. Those members who do have the drive to succeed on their own often do very well for themselves and fulfill MLKs vision that "they are judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." However, the most you ever hear these days that MLK had to say was "I have a dream." For those in the black community who wish to recognize it, the dream is today.

This is a sad yet accurate observation by Rev. Peterson. Those who do strive to make a difference often are vilified in the black community. This makes the fight that much stronger.
One still can hope....
