“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.”
This quote, from the Rev. Martin Luther King’s most famous speech, is probably his best-known utterance. It was surely his most consequential.
Until recently, it formed the nation’s racial conscience, helping all Americans of goodwill aspire to a society where one’s race is an incidental characteristic, not the essential end-all-be-all that determines how one’s life will proceed.
That was the goal, anyway, until the pretend successors to King’s civil rights movement decided to throw his entire career into the dumpster and adopt racial essentialism.
Today, with the rise of the toxic academic ideology known as critical race theory, the idea of a color-blind society, in which people are truly judged by merit and character over skin color, is no longer even a desirable goal.
Indeed, the academic writings of critical race theory explicitly denounce color blindness as a white supremacist ideal that “preserves White privilege” and is “equivalent to emphasizing the plight of Nazis and the plight of White supremacists.”

Today's left are cancelling the whole damn country!!!!
CRT is about teaching Blame and a fixing reparations. History is about Cause and effect. The first is all Emotion and only Emotion. The latter is with complete absence of Emotions, to prevent similar conditions from occurring in the future, and as lessons of what procedures worked to solve issues and what did not. The "Terms" are not comparable.

It is way past time to cancel the democratic socialists.
Let's face it the radical left want to cancel everything good about America
Today the satanic leftist "woke" mob would most definitely cancel MLK!!!!! He was totally against classifying people by skin color, the main tactic of the satanic left!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. followed the principle s of Mohandas Ghandi. He would be appalled at the RACIST efforts being put forth by the leftist black leaders of today and the commiserating, deluded white leaders of today.
He would recognize the racism on the left, blacks would turn republicans if they listened to MLK!
I don't know if they would, the blacks always react to black leaders, they get mesmerized like they did with the POS Obama, like the Germans did with Hitler, perhaps if MLK lived today....... today would be different.
