Rev King was correct when he said a person should be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. To deny this reality is to deny reality.

Nicely put.
The timber of humanity is crooked. So much so that almost anything man builds has various flaws unless there are all kinds of checks-and-balances. With the slave trade of hundreds of years there was so much money and labor invested in it that they continued to dehumanize blacks even after the Civil War and other massive struggles allowed them to do so. There seemed to be few checks-and-balances stopped man's darker impulses.
And there were many people in minorities that fought honorably in WWII and WWI and that even includes many Jews, Native Americans, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, etc.
