I believe that when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous speech called, 'I Have a Dream', he was more than aware that in his own movement that 'skin color NOT content of character' was rampant. I believe that he made a big point that 'skin worship' was a blasphamy and it was totally un-American. Malcomm X changed his 'skin worship' when he returned from a Hajh in Mecca. Malcom now believed that 'character not skin color' was the only venue to judge a man. Both men knew that racism is a depraved character defect and was not caused by skin shade. Both men were killed by Democrats. Before MLKs' body hit the ground his dream was cast aside and 'skin worship' was the new money maker. The destruction of the black community.

The real question is this: What took black church leaders so long to reconsider their near blind support for the Democratic Party?
