mLK Dream going up in smoke.


This piece blends personal story and social critique, exposing how racism and labeling scar across all races. From being misnamed “white” and “racist” despite a mixed heritage, to raising daughters judged differently by their skin, the writer calls out prejudice in every direction. She warns that today’s “safe spaces” risk becoming new segregation, twisting MLK’s dream into division. With examples like the Burnsville crash and government manipulation, she argues that racism is racism—no matter the target. The call is clear: judge by character, not color, and fight for bridges, not barriers.
