King told us to judge people
not by the color of their skin
but by the content of their character
as many obsess over Obama's skin color
and ignore the deep failings of his character
Obama as "black"
is acceptance of
racist "one drop"
rule
revealing
the speakers' collective poor character
it is infact not King who is degraded
