We're so far removed from the Dream speech that it's as if the words were never uttered. Far from elevating character, everything is about color. It's as if no one learned what a bad idea it was to racialize everything the first time that was done. The one-time melting pot has been intentionally Balkanized into a seething cauldron of perpetual grievance where identity serves as the ready made excuse for every time that one's expectations are not met.
