Holy Crap, just look at what's going on. If you look at the polling, younger voters show significantly less racial tendencies, and a lot less influence from stuff about how Obama's a muslim, etc. I think Colin Powell more or less summed up where we're going when he talked about a picture of a muslim mom at her son's grave in Arlington Cemetary. Racial bias is aging out, and I think we're moving into a generation that is a lot better acclimated to cultural and racial diversity, and apparently a lot more tolerant of people who are different from them. Look at this site: There's people from all over the place, and all you get to know about us is our thoughts, which is a lot closer to character content than some guy in Minnesota showing off his Obama Monkey. It's just what we're getting used to. Of course, we still have a perennial underclass, and that seems to be fixed more or less in old racial paradigms. But maybe we'll get there too. Even in Connecticut. Far out, man.

It's been such a long and it has rained so much since that day when he had the dream that I've forgotten what it was all about

I think his dream has became a reality a long time ago. It is now time for everyone to stop using the race card. MLK didn't want people to be judged by the color of their skin. So where we are today I believe everyone can get the same chances and aren't being treated unfairly because of the color of their skin.

That's hard to say. Racism is far less prevalent than it was 40 years ago, and this is undeniably a good thing. It was not eradicated, though, and what racism there still is was driven underground. That makes it harder to identify actual racism, because it can be expressed in different ways. This in turn leads to some actively searching for racism, and thus finding it where it does not exist. That is counterproductive toward the dream.

I hope so but the current reality is that the people he fought for have become the people he fought against.

20 January 2009. My 2 cents.

The good Dr. believed so. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Yes...Nov. 4, 2008 is a significant part of that dream

We will soon see won't we?
