From Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech, via Macsmind [1]:
“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.”
Today:
WASHINGTON (CNN) [2] — More than two-thirds of African-Americans believe Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision for race relations has been fulfilled, a CNN poll found — a figure up sharply from a survey in early 2008.
Martin Luther King Jr. waves to supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963.

One of the areas of American life where the dream remains unfulfilled is public education. Teachers’ unions and government school protectionists have stood in the schoolhouse door, blocking innovation, competition, and parental choice – leaving minority children and their families to languish in some of the country’s worst schools
About the only people who cite King’s quote on character are some whites. Race merchants like the Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, and BO himself, have made character off-limits.
Back babies are harvested by the abortion mills of Planned Pasrenthood, disarmed black citizen are gunned by by armed thugs, poor black children are trapped in failing schools and traditional marriage values are mocked. Is this really KIng’s dream? I, for one, doubt it. What say you?
Update and bump: Much the same message, albeit in a slightly different language, video:
