Growing up, we were taught and we lived "You can not judge someone by the color of their skin". Wow, how far we have come as a society, even our POTUS boasts about doing just the opposite. If only MLK were around to see it...

Given how much they hate King's most famous quote it is a wonder they don't tear down or deface his various monuments. He wanted a color-blind society, which the woke consider racist.

I keep waiting for calls to cancel him. Can't believe it hasn't happened yet. But I hear you can get fired at a big corporation for quoting him.

It's ironic because, while he Left continues to hold up MLK as an icon (and a cudgel), they have explicitly rejected his philosophy.
