Everyone’s Just Clear To Me

imageMacsmind:

Again, quoting Dr. King.

“I have a dream that my four 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.”

The left, not the right, has ignored this dream from the beginning of Obama’s run. They - not the right - asked “Is Obama Black Enough”, and refererred to him as “The Magic Negro”. They have exclusively made his race - exclusive. In fact when Hillary dropped out, the leftist media touted him as the “First Black Presidential Candidate”. In the dream of King it doesn’t matter what color his skin is, absolutely none.

Yet it goes deeper than that. The historical party of racism, who opposed the 1964 Civil Rights legislation, is now flipping it around and plans to use Obama’s race as shield to cover him from his lack of “character”. We’ve seen this numerous times every time someone has the audacity to bring up one of his ever growing gaffes. Watch the next time - and since he has about one a week it shouldn’t be long - he has a gaffe, and is called on it, how the left throws out the “race” card to claim he’s being picked on.

Not to interrupt this sage and yet, somehow, utterly mistaken take on Martin Luther King Jr., but the point of that statement wasn’t that one day, black people will assume that all judgment of them is based on the content of their character rather than their skin color, but rather that the judgment of them would actually one day be wholly and legitimately based on the full content of their character.  If King wanted to do the It’s All Good Tour of 1964, he could have.  But that was never the point.
