Martin Luther King's dream was that his children would be judged not by the color of their skin but the content of their character. If only our society would step up and realize his dream! Dr. King would be disgusted at how his legacy is being used: liberal blacks use him to establish a double standard, a sort of "have your cake and eat it, too," while liberal whites prostitute his dream.

Another member of the privileged class lamenting his pending minority status. Liberal blacks and liberal whites are evil. Really? Are conservatives somehow noble?
