Notice how all these articles make sure to emphasize that Obama is "fulfilling King's legacy"......

Can someone please explain to me how the man who wanted us to judge "based on the content of ones character, not the color of one's skin" is being lumped into all these articles hailing "the first black president" (presumably because they're both black.....ironic eh)?
This would seem to contradict what MLK was advocating....
M.V.P........I'm not hating Obama. I'm wondering why the guy who fought his whole life to be AN INDIVIDUAL NOT DEFINED BY RACE is now being defined SOLELY BECAUSE OF HIS RACE.
john b........way to break it down to the basics...bravo.
Judging from the lack of answers: This is as disgusting as it seems......no one can defend it.
