Dr. King: Dreamer or Delusional
Antwuan Malone2021-07-05T05:57:31-05:00one day, i posted a poll about dr. king’s dream. the question was simple: "is dr. king's dream feasible or fantasy?" i was surprised to see that nearly 75% of the votes were for fantasy. i discussed it more in that thread, and as the reasons for their lack of belief in the feasibility of king's dream grew more clear, so did my disappointment. i don't even think the forum could agree on what king’s dream actually is. so now i put the question to you...
