One can only wonder what Dr King would say about race relations today. We have certainly made great progress toward his goal of racial equality and the scourge of racism. But it feels we are regressing in many ways. We continue to allow inner cities remain centers of crime, drugs, and poverty. Schools teach young black children they are victims while shaming white children for things they were never involved with. Real heroes like Crispus Attucks, Fredrick Douglas, Rosa Parks, Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas are subordinate to career criminals like George Floyd. DEI programs further divide us along racial, gender, and religious lines.
And what would he say about our first AA POTUS who wasted a historic opportunity of furthering the cause of equality (NOT equity) but instead used his platform to divide us to increase his own power and financial gain? I wonder.
