   So Obama being elected President didn’t fulfill that dream? I see more and more integrated marriages. The races are coming together by his dream.
   Oh, yes, Obama divided the country racially to become president. That is what killed the dream.

   LOL! What would MLK say about the gangs killing each other for a rock of crack? Or walking on their ‘turf’. My dream is for everyone to get along and not be racially or politically divided.

   You mean the subversion of the message by conservatives like Laura Ingraham? Using a gun shot sound in the background during John Lewis’ speech.

   I have a dream, that one day Al Sharpton will apologize for the Tawana Brawley hoax. I have a dream that one day, Jesse Jackson will step behind a pulpit and confess his sins, ask forgiveness and return all the money he got by shaking down people over the years.

   Getting closer though the cons are trying to drag us back to Jim Crow days.

   No, your dream is for everyone to fall in lockstep with your beliefs.

   Just Google “Laura Ingraham”. She did it on her show yesterday and it’s now on You Tube.

   You are wrong on two counts. This country has been racially divided for over 200 years; this animosity has been gradually declining, but it is still very much present (as the reactions to the Trayvon Martin trial demonstrate). And electing any president may increase or decrease racial tensions, but cannot eliminate them. Only time, economic justice and equality can do that. Integrated marriages are a good sign, but a small one.

    I think MLK would be very disappointed in a lot of the members of his race. I think he would not like the fact that 75% of black children are born out of wedlock, or as we used to say, “bastards”. We need to start calling a spade a spade again. We’ve gone too far being politically correct, patting these women on the back when they get pregnant with no husband, “That’s OK dearey, here’s some food stamps and the taxpayers will take care of you & your kids, so just go ahead & have as many as you want”. Hogwash!

    “My dream is for everyone to get along and not be racially or politically divided.”
    And yet you do your best everyday to subvert your dream.

    And I have a dream that RWNJs like you will one day stop with the ignorance and lies in pursuit of your partisan agenda and one day seek the betterment of ALL people, not just those who think like you. Or rather who don’t think, like you.

    Whereas I find your patronization and racially targeted characterization highly offensive, I do agree with what you wrote. Just not what you implied. There are white women who pop out babies “because it’s fun and I gets another welfare check.” There are Native American children born out of wedlock, Caucasian “bastards,” illegitimate Hispanic children. So to imply that is a “black only” issue is disingenous. But like I said, I agree with the concept that MLK would not like the state of affairs of his race, nor would he like the very same issues or the state of affairs of society in general.

    Racism is as rampant today as it was 200 years ago. Racism is now cloaked in many guises, but it is not better. Racism, demonstrated clearly by coraryan, Jeff H, PAJ and so many others on this thread, and by name calling of the President and his family, is as vicious as it ever was.

    I still claim that the best path forward (and that’s what we all want, isn’t it?) is for there to be jobs for people.
    -
    If Republicans truly wanted to help minorities without using welfare, they would support jobs programs or come up with their own.
    -
    Unless they do not want to move forward.
