I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
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.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."

LETS GET THIS CONVERSATION STARTED, BECAUSE FROM WHAT I RECALL PREJUDICE IS ALIVE AND PROGRESSION IS EVIDENT YET IS IT THE AFRICANS HERE IN AMERICA THAT ARE PROGRESSING OR WHITE PEOPLE AND THEIR IDEOLOGIES ABOUT US? LETS THINK ABOUT IT!
After being a victim of racism at the racist continental bar in NYC I am positive racism has not improved. The issue is now racism is being used in different measures so it is not as direct or even may be hidden. African Americans/Blacks I feel are only progressing enough to hide racism or as much as they will allow. Now we may be able to sit any where on the bus, but our assed are soo poor we may not even be able to afford to get on the bus. lmfaooo.
