MLK distorted

Martin Luther King's most famous quote is probably:

"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."

Who could disagree? Racism actually is to judge people by the color of their skin, to give approval to one race over another for no other reason than color.

Robert Woodson, dedicated for many years to helping troubled neighborhoods, says that MLK's legacy has been corrupted:

"Dr. King, who sought full participation in America, would never have indulged today’s grievance-based identity politics, whose social-justice warriors use race as a battering ram against the country. 

"Yesterday’s values prepared blacks to walk through the doors of opportunity opened to them through civil rights. Family, faith, character and moral behavior were all crucial to their victories. 

"Today’s social-justice warriors trade on the currency of oppression, deriding the concept of personal responsibility and always blaming external forces. I can think of no better way to instill hopelessness and fear in a young person than to tell him he is a victim, powerless to change his circumstance."
