What did Martin Luther mean when he said, I dream of the day when a person will not be judged based on the color of their skin, but the color of their heart? – Martin Luther was a minister – he was not a liberal – of course, he was against racism, but today, there is what has been termed the racism of low expectations – to accept that blacks or any person for that matter is incapable of not growing up, of not being good, was not what Martin Luther, was looking for.
