I will use his own words to describe my point:
""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.""
Well, isn't an African-American scholarship "judging [someone] by the color of their skin"?
Isn't Affirmative Action another slap in the face? When a minority is hired, or accepted into a school, just to raise the percentaage of minorities there, isn't that "judging [someone] by the color of their skin"?
How long before we have a TRULY colorblind society, where people don't even notice race? Where there is NO racism, whether in a good OR bad way?

I do agree that affirmative action does more harm than good because people like you get so angry about it and it increases racial tensions that are already out of control.

He would tell the black community to combine with all different communities because of the fact having a segregated community wasnt Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream. He would additionally tell them to have a look into Dr. Ron Paul because of the fact Dr. Ron Paul has an identical values and ideology as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I see what your saying...A little naive but I understand. Difference between back then and now is that back then blacks in America could trust and have faith in the black leadership, now the black power structure is just as corrupt and counter-productive as any other "progressive" social organization in America...Sad state of affairs, but it just seems like no matter what color you are the faith leaders of your group (political activists, priests, presidential candidates etc etc) will let you down and probably just end up setting you back a few steps.

I haven't forgotten and neither have all of the black people I associate with.
And we'll have this colorblind society as soon as people stop asking questions like "Why do black people do this?" or "Why are black people like that?"

No we haven't. With the amount of ignorance in this country I'm not sure we'll ever have a colorblind society. I sided with Malcolm X. Integration is just the illusion of inclusion. Sometimes I think it would be better off is we were all separated again.

Yes. MKL would be truly appalled by how the race hustlers have befouled his legacy.
"concent of character" is another term for "merit"

I think to most people it is just another excuse to take the day off.

Yes all of the things you mentioned and MORE keeps us seperated, and it is the BLACKS who keep this up. If we did away with all of the black this and black that and just concentrated on being Americans....... wouldn't that be more like his dream?
