[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet some folks are cheering them saying yes, what a great idea yet Dr. Martin Luther King said I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Yet the black community, the hispanic community continue to push separate things as the first this the first that instead of just talking about the accomplishment. Well done[/quote] You are taking MLK's quote out of context. He did not ask you to ignore our differences - he just meant that no one is inferior or superior because of those differences. He clarified this MANY times. MLK was VERY proud of his Blackness. I see no problem with the graduates of an ethnic/cultural group having a ceremony for themselves. Many times, they were each other's primary support network and there is often a bond forged when folks are minorities at a PWI. What has always puzzled me is why Whites are so insecure and threatened. [/quote]
