Yes, because mlk had a dream that blacks would rise against.
No means of being racist.

That's totally incorrect.. Not Rise against.. That's like saying they're going to revolt or something to those means. However, yes. I do think MLK Jr.'s speech was in fact fulfilled in parts where we now have an African American President and to see the we can be lead by a 'minority' race.

It helped but it did not complete it. There are many things that need to be done for it to be completed.

No. We are still talking about "black and white". MLK Did not want the color of our skin to matter. It still does apparently.

Your an *arse*. (BTW I know that is you Hannity.)
The answers at the top and bottom are stupid and the third is pretty dumb too.
The first is by FAR the least possible, i.e. ace's comment.
One day his dream will come true. But with Obama in charge it will be leaps and bounds as apposed to the baby steps we have all seen.

How the hell does no mean you are racist? This proves MLK's dream is still out of reach.
Milk's dream?
A dream of oreos?

MLK's dream was that blacks would be equal. But it was more that a person's skin color would be entirely ignored and be considered completely irrelevant to anything and everything. Although the fact that the new president is black is a good thing for society, the fact that hes black has in no way been ignored.
I think MLK's dream will have been truly fully fulfilled when a black man and a white man run against each other for president, and people don't even notice that they are of different colors.
MLK dreamed of a "colorblind" world. The world today isn't colorblind, we give scholarships to people based on race, we have "sensitivity" training. MLK would be disgusted how the left has corrupted his dream to satisfy their own ends.

His dream isnt reached yet, but obama is a wide step towards it. If he will do his job really good the people will forget his colour.
