"This is essentially a direct play on the "I don't see color" argument. "I don't see color" is not the antithesis of racism. Its just a cop-out way not to talk about race."
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Man, MLK was so out of touch. He just wasn't woke enough.
That's a pretty blatant corruption of MLK's "dream" and point. But here's an article explaining why better than I can.

Major point: He didn't want a world that doesn't acknowledge and embrace diversity. MLK wasn't colorblind and he didn't want you to be colorblind either.
Really, though, everyone would just be better off if they stopped taking old quotes out context.
Are you kidding me?! We should all strive to not see color or judge by the color of one's skin. That is exactly how we move forward and help to rid racism from the world.
But what you are missing here is that these people and the person you are replying to explicitly don't want an egalitarian or racism free world. These are dyed in the wool supremacists. Look at sheila Jackson Lee's statements this week were she speaks of, and I quote, our "original sin." It's an anti-white religion at this point and like the idiots we are have let the wolves into the hen house.
