Color of Skin and Content of Character

Wasn't it Martin Luther King who said something to the effect that he wished his children be known not for the color of their skin but the content of their character? Seems that I recall words to that effect. And yet there are people in this country in the guise of compassionate crusaders against racist America who are continually reminding us of people's pigment whether it is in the disparaging of white people with such catchy slogans as "white privilege", "white racism", or that "racism will not end until white people die", etc. or the pointing out, ad nauseum, the pigment of non european ethnicities as if pigment was their number one and primary characteristic rather than as MLK said, their 'content of character'. And it is disconcerting to me that we have fallen for so much of this rhetoric of race and have so twisted language to provide a narrative laced with such negative slander that it is a wonder anyone would dare come to this country. By the way how this country is described by the Left makes me think that we wouldn't need so much as a solitary brick on the border to keep people out. After all such a country so hostile to people of color must certainly not be a very attractive country to people that already live in attractive countries themselves? Of course, to make matters even worse this country has as her reigning despot a man that we are continually told must wear the quite fashionable scarlet moniker, 'racist'. But what I'm trying hard to understand is why would such a supremacist put a man of color in his cabinet---could it possibly be that he just saw him in regards to his content of character and didn't even notice his pigment? And likewise how is it that this same racist despot institutes a special celebration in honor of the late civil rights leader? Yes, perhaps the racist despot didn't even notice his pigment. Perhaps it was just the content of character he was noticing
