He said a lot during that speech. It's only about 2/3 the way through that he finally got to the now-cliche part: "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 wish more than ever that we lived in that nation, but we don't. The people in favor of so-called "diversity" and "multi-culturalism" are, like you said, the people holding us back. People should be judged on performance and character and nothing more.avi8tornoreply@blogger.com
