Is MLK'S dream slowly creeping towards becoming America's Nightmare?

I doubt that MLK's dream involved an elitist with racist beliefs would win the DNC nomination soley because of his skin color





In fact, I'm sure that was not his dream.

Is MLK'S dream slowly creeping towards becoming America's Nightmare?
MLK's dream was for blacks to rise up to equal footing with others, be self reliant and make there own way in the universe. Some how this changed to them wanting to depend soley on government and other organazations to exist and to bully there way to freebies
Reply:The NIGHTMARE is the way the blacks have ABANDONED MLK, only to PRETEND to salute him once a year.





"Judge based on character" is the LAST thing blacks want. They WANT to get special treatment based on the color of their skin.





Judged by Character would be EQUALITY and that "nonsense" flies in the fact of multiculturalism, "diversity awareness", political correctness, and Affirmative Action.
Reply:Why would MLK's dream be creeping towards becoming america's nightmare? Dr. King wanted a society where anyone could be free to be whatever they wanted to be, despite race. In that respect, no. We're not creeping towards a 'nightmare'.





We all have short comings, as well as things that we have in our lives, goals for ourselves, and plans for our futures, that not everyone agrees with. Does that mean that just because someone points these out that we are any more or less close to MLK's dream? No. George W. Bush had many short comings, and we all knew what he had in store for us the second time around, yet the majority of Americans voted for him. Nobody was saying anything about moving further from Dr. King's dream then.





I've heard alot of people bring up MLK, and a departure from his dream. And ever since Sen. Obama has been in the spotlight, this kind of talk has tripled. The only real reason this issue of 'lost dreams' is even being debated is because Sen. Obama is a black man running for President.





Dr. Martin Luther King spoke about peace and unity, not just for blacks, but for everyone. He promoted understanding, just leadership, patience, and wisdom. President Bush was not a pilar of any of those things, and if he was, they were serverely overshadowed by his lust for war and an over-arching need to pump funds and soilders into a war American's, in general, didn't understand nor want. He did not have an ear for the people, just eyes for war. Bush showed a failure to understand the people, unjust leadership, and a signifiicant lack of patience and wisdom.





If departure from MLK's dream is the subject matter, then we already have someone to blame for that.....and I'll give you a hint, it's not Barack Obama...
Reply:NO , things can't get no worse than it have been already . Because if those 2 face news reporters especially at FOX NEWS and WABC RADIO would stop spreading lies and get face to face with whoever they have a problems with and get whatever they have on got their chest off instead of constantly filling the airways with a bunch of worthless filth , things will not be no where near as bad as it seems anyway. SPEAKING OF PEOPLE LIKE EX. ( BILL O'REILY, SEAN HANNITY, RUSH LAMBAUGH, AND CURTIS SLIWA .Because they don't know no more than they hear about anyone that they are flapping their damn lips about WITH THE SAME OLD THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
Reply:MLK's dream did not involve one man, such as Obama. It involved an entire race.





Therefore, while Obama's potential victory may be nice for him, it is sort of symbolic in nature.
Reply:It seems to be








when do us white people get a copy of all the rules and things that we can't do or say that is acceptable for the black communitee?
Reply:No. It is up to us as people to come together. And not let


these polarizing figures divide us.
Reply:maybe, if you don't like black people.


to the rest of us, multiculturalism isn't a problem.
