Interesting conv.

[one love]

I am not missing your point at all.

I am just trying to enlarge on the falacie of the whole idea.

The old gentleman sees what he sees......but he doesn't see the price for it.

Nor would he have considered this president an 'African American" a few year back......he has a white momma......

Just sayin......

I am sure it was a pleasant experience for you.

I understand Dr Ron where you are coming from believe me I do.

But for some reason they vote democratic anyway so it is a great thing for them, this is what they usually vote for, so technically it is a win win for them. It was a wonderful conversation to hear how things were when he was young and what their family went through and he still was such a loving man. Of course we talked a while and he went in more detail then i have displayed here.
Anyway I do get your point but I am not sure How MLK would have voted to be honest.
I always say he would not agree with affirmative action and say that constantly because his words were

" I have a dream that my four children will one day not be judged by the color of their skin but rather the content of their character" (paraphrasing)

Affirmative action is using the color of their skin NOT the content of their character but can I truly say he would not support it? I really do not know, I would expect he would not. No I cant say that he would not have supported Obama, every other civil rights leaders and/or groups did.
