Today, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, millions of people all around the world will celebrate the life of MLK and the dream that he had. This years festivities will undoubtedly be kicked up a notch or so from any other year because today is the eve of Martin Luther Kings wildest dream coming true. Isn't that right? Wasn't this Martin Luther King's goal to advance the movement of blacks in society? Wasn't his hope that one day a black man would be elected president based on his skin color and not his character? Let's take a look at his life to find out, for starters let's reflect on what King is known for, his legacy if you will. I believe that when most American's think of MLK they think of him as an inspirational speaker. MLK was a Baptist preacher whose public speeches made him great fame during the Civil Rights Movement. King was most noted for his "I have a dream" speech that he delivered on August 28, 1963. King stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and proclaimed, "I have a dream today, that one day my four little children live in a world where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Now whether King actually meant every word he said in that speech or any of his others is debatable. The sad truth about King is that he is also known for his hypocrisy. King was known to have had numerous affairs on his wife even when the Bible that he preached out of spoke strongly against that sort of behavior. There are also pictures of King sitting in communist training camps and as we all know, Communism does not proclaim to judge people according to their character or merit. But that's neither here nor there. My point is simply this: we as Americans have decided long ago to overlook who King really was behind closed doors and remember him for what he preached. What King is remembered for is not that he wanted blacks to become superior but that all men and women would be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. This is why tomorrow may not be as historic as we are making it out to be. We are judging Obama by his skin color and not by his accomplishments. In my opinion the only thing historic about tomorrow's inauguration is the fact that we are swearing into office the most inexperienced, socialist president this country has ever seen, and that is nothing to write home about.
