Answer 2

I believe MLK's dream is a work in progress. Being an old timer I have seen vast improvement in life for non'whites over the years. Ignorance and racism will always be factors in a free country. We can't force people to think a certain way. What we have to do it keep on with the education and nurturing young people in the belief that we are all equal and should be treated as such. By living our lives showing the equality God has bestowed on us all and living up to the ideals in the Constitutions of the United States I believe we can continue the fight to lessen the evils of ignorance and racism but I don't believe we will ever see the total fulfillment of MLK's dream.

Answer 3

Wow, you name yourself Thug 4 life and then ask if you will ever life his dream. You realize by name you are a disgrace to his dream? His dream went both ways. He expected things of HIS race as well. Maybe I'm wrong in guessing you are black with that name. It's just that they are more likely to want to be Thugs and brag that they are. I think we are living his dream more then people realize at the moment. His dream was about everyone being EQUAL. You have to realize how much the Black people were second-class citizens at that time. We have come so far from that. Most of the problems with the blacks now are the problems they are bringing on themselves.

Answer 4

Yes, in some areas. Where I currently reside, his dream can be seen. We are equal, regardless of color. But if you happen to be in a much more racist state, one that use to belong in the South, no the dream might never be there. Racisimn is high in the air, and African Americans are treated with disrespect, and are often made fun of.

Answer 5

We already had our chance and discarded it in favor of racial preference.

MLK's dream was for a 'color blind' United States.


The Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s was a major factor for a lot of reasons, including some unforseen by anyone.

First, black people all over the US, particularly in the Old South, were treated as second-class citizens.

The Civil Rights movement secured the right to vote for them, and ended discrimination in schools, restaurants, everywhere.

The goal of the time was a 'color-blind' America. A nation where no ethnic group would have an advantage over another because of race or ethnicity.

Unfortunately, one result was racial preference in almost every avenue of endeavor, for ethnic minorities. Instead of peace, we got hatred and blame for whites. Particularly, white males.

Businesses were forced, instead of 'color blindness' in hiring practices, to hire BECAUSE a person was black, or Hispanic, or some other minority. The precise antithesis of racial and ethnic equality.

Answer 6

Probably not...that's why Martin viewed it as a dream possibly? Or was it really a dream? I can't remember but...I think there will always be people who are too ignorant.

Answer 7

You can personally, if you live right.and love your brothers and sisters. King preached love and nonviolence.We can only change the world one act of kindness at a time. It's down to you.
Who can you reach out to and love today? They'll love you back for it.

"I want to change the world
I want to make it well
How can I change the world
When I can't change myself?
Try again tomorrow."........Todd Rundgren from CD "Second Wind"

Answer 8

No, because we can't erradicate racism completly. But we can try to accept and understand each other, we can do what is in our power to learn to live in peace with each other. Just like King did.

Answer 9

Unfortunately...no. Racism is still so prevalent. I see 10 year olds who are racist and what do you think they will teach their children. It's a vicious circle that does not seem to have an end

Answer 10

We currently are living that dream. We're allowed to work together, be educated together, marry each other, and be friends with one another without fear of being harrassed.
