(CNN) — Very few things will make my skin crawl more than listening to someone totally misrepresent the famous “I Have A Dream” speech the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. gave on August 28, 1963.
It’s clear that far too many people haven’t bothered to actually read or listen to the speech. Instead, folks — especially those who likely would have branded King a Communist, a socialist, a Marxist or a racial hell-bent on destroying America — love to tout King’s “content of character” line in order to push back against a variety of issues, especially affirmative action.
Just today, I saw a press release from Project 21, a coalition of black conservatives, suggesting that a rally planned Saturday by a radio talk show host and Fox News personality is akin to King’s 1963 march
