Saussie, under your logic you would consider Dr. King a racist.
But he wasn't one either.
His dream was not for a separate black community, segregated by social structure or divided by culture. That was precisely what he was fighting AGAINST. He wanted to break down those walls, so that all could "live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character".
He wanted NO differences for black Americans... he didn't want them judged separately or given a pass because of their color, culture, or life experience. Those ideas - which you apparently espouse - were the antithesis of Dr. King's goals.
Honestly saussie, I don't think you understand racism at all.
