I Have A Dream. And This Isn't It.
I’m sure that I’m not the first person to recognize this, but I want to go on record all the same. This is not the dream that Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke of so many years ago.
“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.”
Mr. Obama received 52% of the popular vote on Tuesday. Many voted for him because they were frustrated with economy and wanted to take it out on the Republicans. However, many thousands – in fact, hundreds of thousands - of people voted for him because of the color of his skin. This is not the dream of which Rev. King spoke.
And as to the content of his character … we still don’t know. Even the most partisan and biased media-types in the mainstream admit that Mr. Obama is still a mystery in so many ways. And no wonder. Anyone who asked anything about his character – his judgments, his associates, his voting records, his religious beliefs – was completely thrown aside. No one was allowed to discuss the content of his character. All records that could be obfuscated were. This is not the dream that Rev. King spoke of.
Say what you will about the election. Congratulations are in order for Mr. Obama and his win. Say what you will about the campaign. The campaign staff and workers were very diligent in their efforts. If not always ethical, they were still very diligent. Say what you will about the current direction of the country. Just don’t say that this is the fulfillment of Martin Luther King, Jr’s dream. It is not.
