  Afraid of the black, with good reason: Dr King didn't die so white and black could drink from the same fountain; he died so there could be a black president--and black justice.

  I think a lot of even well-meaning white people don't get how difficult it is to trust that white officials will deliver justice to blacks.  Sometimes what is passed off as acceptance of blacks and black interests is merely superficial, temporary tolerance.  Obama's point that we can all succeed and that our success does not have to be at one another's expense I find refreshing.  Such an attitude may help us out of racially divisive attitudes and behaviors.  I would hope it would help quell white fears, for instance.

  OK, CC.  Maybe it wasn't the exact tenor of his epochal sacrifice, but don't you think it was his dream?

  King dreamed that his children, as well as our children, would "one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." We should all strive for that.
