I have a dream that beginning on January 20, 2025 all Americans will begin judging people by the content of their characters, not the color of their skin
I am looking forward to January 20, 2025 for two reasons.
First, it is the day that Donald J. Trump is sworn into the office of President of the United States.
Second, because it is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
I wonder, is this happenstance or an act of God?
I remember watching on my family’s black and white television the “I have a Dream” speech on August 28, 1963 by Dr. King.
WATCH: Martin Luther King Jr.’s Content of Character by Free the People
Dr. King believed in faith, family and freedom. President-elect Donald J. Trump also believes if faith, family and freedom.
Dr. King and Donald J. Trump are both convicted felons.
Both Dr. King and Donald J. Trump have been persecuted for what they believe in.
Both were the victims of an assassin. Donald J. Trump was wounded, Dr. King was killed.
For too long we have fallen into the trap of judging people by the color of thier skins and ignoring the content of their characters. Be it politicians, workers, friends and associates.
I believe that we the people will, beginning on January 20, 2025, go back to the future and judge people solely on the content of their characters.
We will move away from an autocracy and toward a meritocracy in America from the school house to the White House and from the school room to corportate board rooms across America.
We will no longer idolize those solely based upon race or color but rather embrace and hold in esteem those among us of high moral character.
It is time to make America moral again.
It is time to make America healthy again.
And finally, it is time to make America great again!

Now, this I will repost – because you wrote it yourself. I do not repost the articles you capture & lock in with bitly so everything keeps coming back to you, you, you. I wonder if that is legal. It may be, but it certainly is not ethical. How would you like it if someone “stole” this article with bitly?
Darrel,
Thanks for reposting this column. I only use Bitly to shorten the URL. It is perfectly legal and done globally.
