Character vs Color, Egypt, Syria & Muslims
Character vs Color -- “Two roads diverged in a woods....” 50 years ago this week, Rev. Martin Luther King gave his “I have a dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial. In that speech, he said he dreamt of the day his children would be judged by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin. It may be instructive to review where we are 2 generations later in light of that dream. Clearly there are now many more Blacks in positions of power in government (from the president to cabinet secretaries, Supreme Court justices, Congressmen, governors, mayors, etc.), business (Herman Cain, etc.), prominent intellectuals (Thomas Sowell, etc.), athletes, musicians, etc.. Many more are graduating from college, etc. And there are many more hard-working, productive, good, moral Blacks. Most of these have focused on the content of their character, as have the vast majority of Whites who have not stood in their way, and more often worked together with them.
