“I think Martin Luther King’s dream has been fulfilled. All men and women in this country are now treated equally.

During Dr. King's time, of course, they were virulently opposed to everything he stood for, calling him a "Communist" among other slurs and opposing every piece of civil rights legislation that he championed. Perhaps in 50 years, they and their successors will be touting "Obamacare" as something they supported, too.
