Uhhh…when are “you people” going to stop ascribing to MLK this neo-con “colorblind” stuff? Did you all ever take the time to really understand what he was all about? Recall those of your political ilk despised the man as a dangerous race-mixing radical, a sort of Gandhi on steroids, back in the day. You should rent the cartoon “Boondocks” for the Emmy-nominated episode where Dr. King comes out of his secret coma and schools black people (including rappers) AND white people like you and the President for misusing or being utterly ignorant of what he was trying to do, and why he got shot. In the end, he gets fed up and moves to Canada under an assumed name. Thanks, Bruce. As for Barack, he’s a gracious enough man to forgive you. Something you’re likely not used to. Perhaps that kind of graciousness will be contagious…
