When was the last time you heard a conservative say anything close to what King said in his "Where do we go from here" speech.
When was the last time you heard a liberal say anything close to what King said; "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."

So there seems to be a consensus that Conservative Republicans are following MLK famous challenge to the nation to judge people on the content of their character rather than their color and Liberals insist on judging people by their color rather than their character.
Dude, except for maybe murders,that stuff if almost as much of an issue in rural white Anerica, sorry to have to break the news to you, but you won't care about that.

More excuses, more diversion, more bull****, more nonsense.
It has nothing to do with the war on drugs- it has to do with your people's poor behavior. Nor are these same issues afflicting the white community equally. Whites are in second place because they have earned second place. Your people are in last place becasue they have earned last place.
You don't want your people to be judged by the content of their characters. You want them to have a special handicap because of the color of their skin.
He would be turning over in his grave if he saw the illegitimacy, welfare dependence, the black on black violence, the black on white violence, the drug use, the gang culture, rioting, the pissing away of free education and affirmative action, the laserlike focus on non issues such as "microagressions" and "cultural appropriation," and the lagging of the black community behind even ESL students in some metrics.
He would turn over in his grave if he could see Detroit, or even the average hip hop video.
Just give it up. The era of whining and crying about the great conservative bogeyman is done. Obama killed it. After seven years of a black president, MLKs dream apparently realized, not only has the needle not moved a single tick for the black community in general, but it is in many ways moving backwords, with violence dramatically on the rise again after a couple of decades of cooling off.
The point of the thread is silly. MLKs dream is dead because of the actions of blacks. Period. They have killed it though misuse of their rights.
You can talk about race all you want. Until your people get together as a group and decide that they are going to obey laws, pay attenion in school, disdain drugs and alcohol and wait until a reasonble age to make babies, your people are always going to stay in last place. This silly talk of conservatives in insult to injury to the doctor. You are pissing on his grave.
Go ahead. Talk all you want. Hopefully it is about how your people now realize that they have everything at their fingertips and they understand that they need to do better as a group without blaming others.
SMH, conservatives and those that use words like *******. Reality check for you; MLK's dream was to handle race and race relations as mature adults. Color blind, does NOT mean, to zip it when it comes to talking about it at all (talking about race doesn't automatically equal racism, fools) and call anyone who has a legitimate beef and tries to fight it in some way a "race baiter".
Don't you think, sharpton, BLM and HUDS have twisted MLK's words? Note, the aforementioned are not conservatives.
Race baiter equivicates to racist.
So basically you are telling someone else how they are to feel and what they should think?
Whoa! that's a social justice no,no and a denial of the SJ golden rule that preception is reality.
If you follow all your social justice rules you'd be confused and bewildered, and very rabid about it.

Nobody in white America is claiming to be oppressed.
Even though whites are in fact discriminated against, and that racist discrimination is totally legal.
Most times when any conservatives talks about anything Obama does they THEY are the ones throwing out the "you are a racist".
Well, Obama is a racist.
Perfect example of that:
He called the Cambridge, MA police "stupid" for arresting a black Harvard professor, even while admitting in the same speech that he didn't know what had happened.
This is true. MLK and JFK would not fit in today's Dem Party. Here is a slogan for today's Dems; "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the content of their character, but will have the government treat everyone differently based on the color of their skin."
Now we must develop progress, or rather, a program—and I can't stay on this long—that will drive the nation to a guaranteed annual income. Now, early in the century this proposal would have been greeted with ridicule and denunciation as destructive of initiative and responsibility. At that time economic status was considered the measure of the individual's abilities and talents. And in the thinking of that day, the absence of worldly goods indicated a want of industrious habits and moral fiber. We've come a long way in our understanding of human motivation and of the blind operation of our economic system. Now we realize that dislocations in the market operation of our economy and the prevalence of discrimination thrust people into idleness and bind them in constant or frequent unemployment against their will. The poor are less often dismissed, I hope, from our conscience today by being branded as inferior and incompetent. We also know that no matter how dynamically the economy develops and expands, it does not eliminate all poverty.

I want to say to you as I move to my conclusion, as we talk about "Where do we go from here?" that we must honestly face the fact that the movement must address itself to the question of restructuring the whole of American society. (Yes) There are forty million poor people here, and one day we must ask the question, "Why are there forty million poor people in America?" And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising a question about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. (Yes) And I'm simply saying that more and more, we've got to begin to ask questions about the whole society. We are called upon to help the discouraged beggars in life's marketplace. (Yes) But one day we must come to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. (All right) It means that questions must be raised. And you see, my friends, when you deal with this you begin to ask the question, "Who owns the oil?" (Yes) You begin to ask the question, "Who owns the iron ore?" (Yes) You begin to ask the question, "Why is it that people have to pay water bills in a world that's two-thirds water?" (All right) These are words that must be said. (All right)
It's undoubtedly a good thing that most of what he said has been forgotten, because the above is nonsense.
Two thirds of the world is water? Sure -- undrinkable salt water.
