Reply #4: Right. When black commentators bristle and claim

that "MLK is ours" I see a problem.

Martin Luther King Jr. is an American treasure and "belongs" to all of us, just as Abraham Lincoln is.

There were many whites who were active in the Civil Rights movement. Of the three young men who were brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1964, two were whites.

But this makes it politically correct and the black votes will go to Obama. The sad result will be that if Clinton is the nominee and many of the pundits and the Obama camp will convince them to stay home, will convince them that they were wronged, this can really split the party for generations to come.
