Probably NOT What MLK Had in Mind

A friend of mine posted this earlier today . . . Very insightful I must say:

"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."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

With the election of our first black president, some would say that King's Dream has been realized, but when you look at the exit poll number from the election you have to wonder if the opposite of King’s dream has been realized - the victory of race over content, competence and character.

According to exit polls, over 95% of African Americans cast ballots for Barack Obama. A look at the military election results demonstrates this disproportionate relation.

Candidate: McCain -- Obama
Overall: 68% -- 23%
Black/African-American: 12% -- 79%

Electing a black President goes a long way to proving that we have indeed fulfilled Martin Luther King’s vision of America as a place of true equality. That doesn’t make me a fan of Barack Obama, mind you, because I’m much more concerned over policy than skin color — and that’s also a fulfillment of Dr.King’s vision. It just makes me a fan of America.
