When the topic of race relations is raised in America, especially as regards the relationship between African-Americans and whites, the name of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. looms large, at least as a backdrop to the discussion. That’s a measure of what a prominent voice he was in the civil rights movement of the 1950’s and 1960’s.
One quote of his comes to mind, “…remain committed to nonviolence. Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding. We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience. And that will be a day not of the white man, not of the black man. That will be the day of man as man.”
Unfortunately, both during his lifetime as well as now, there are those who claim his legacy while ignoring the idea of “the day of man as man.”
CNN doesn’t get it. At least one of its so-called journalists doesn’t get it. She probably has company at that network as she attempts to give the Democratic Party some advice on selecting leadership.

That’s a racist comment if I ever heard one. Imagine if a white person said we don’t need people of color in any community leadership. It’s open season on the white race. I’m so sick of the race card being passed around like a baseball trading card. Unreal.
You keep talking like that sweetheart and we’ll own the white house for the next hundred years…
CNN IRRELEVANT.
They just went anti Hillary. She is no longer welcome at DNC?
OMG is that Symone on crack??? Sorry girlfriend, but Obama’s black crew has about ruined this country. Need to get some smart whites and blacks in DC and get us back on track to being America.
Geeze.
Only Muslims.
This isn’t the democratic party we all knew. It’s changed its different and unknown
