The Message of King Missed in the Present?

Wasn't Martin Luther King Jr.'s message precisely that we should look past skin color, to the content of an individual's character?

Why then are so many in such a frenzy over our first black president? I have no doubt that in the coverage of the inauguration tomorrow the media will focus squarely on Obama's skin color, rather than look past it.



Wouldn't King's dream be that we not care, at all, what color Obama is?

Obama is Not MLK's Dream

Something to keep in mind as the media no doubt will invoke Martin Luther King during the course of the Democratic convention.



Vis the National Black Republican Association:

Forty-five years ago, on August 28, 1963, The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who was a Republican and embraced the traditional values that made this country great delivered his inspirational civil rights "I Have a Dream" speech.

Today, Senator Barack Obama, with the most liberal voting record in the US Senate, is delivering his political acceptance speech, in an apparent attempt to assume for himself the mantle of Dr. Martin Luther King.

Dr. King did not embrace the type of secularist agenda promoted by Obama and the Democratic Party of today, which includes fostering dependency on welfare that breaks up families, supporting same-sex marriage and partial-birth abortion, and banning God from the public square.

Obama is no MLK!
