Martin Luther King's Dream: Half of US says racial equality not yet a reality
WASHINGTON (AP) — Has the U.S. achieved Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of a colorblind society? Fewer than half of all Americans say the country has made substantial progress in the past 50 years toward racial equality, a new poll shows.
Despite a heightened sense of racial progress immediately following the 2008 election of the first black president, Americans' views of black progress have waned. . . .
"Has the U.S. achieved Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of a colorblind society?"
The problem is that the colorblind Dream is in itself nonsensical. The races evolved separately for thousands of years and are inherently different. It as if it were considered shocking 'Racism!' that Kenyans win long-distance races over Eskimos. 'Colorblind'? King was about as colorblind as a peahen in heat.
This is not saying that one people is superior or supreme in some cosmic sense. All people, except many whites, automatically see their own culture as somehow better or more special or superior to all others. This is only natural.
It is only Europeans who have had this instinct beaten out of them and replaced with ethnofugalism, the romantic fashionable flight from ones own culture to embrace the other, for whites, the more exotic and far removed the better.
