Once upon a time, a man had a dream...

I guess Sean "Diddy" Combs, Kym Whitley, Quincy Jones, Nia Long, et al, believe that what is important is not the content of a man's character, but the color of his skin.

So much for that dream.

And another thing... I have seen commenters on some web site referring to Barack Obama as "Obama Luther King." This is very offensive to me because, aside from the color of his skin, there is little about Obama that is like Dr. Martin Luther King. Obama favors and actively promotes abortion, and I think it's safe to say Dr. King would have vehemently apposed it. Dr. King believed in a color-blind society, Barack Obama and his surrogates see nothing but the color of people's skin. Yes, Dr. King was a bit socialist in his approach to economics, but he did not believe it was the job of the government to fix the stumbling blocks to black progress:

When he sought to remove the barriers confronting black America, he did not seek to then describe us as victims. There are two ways that you can prevent someone from competing. One is to deny them the opportunity to compete by law, which laws of segregation and discrimination did. The second way to deny them the opportunity to compete is to tell them they do not have to compete, that they can just sit back and government will do it for them.
That last bit - having the government do something so that people do not have to compete in the marketplace, or take responsibility for their own successes or failures - that is exactly the attitude that permeates the Obama message.

Great points. That quote from MLK is right on.
