[Martin Luther King Jr. is raising a finger, speaking]
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day oppression will be solved by a strongly worded op-ed in the Washington Post and a bipartisan task force.

[MLK Jr. is now raising his hand]
I have a dream that one day this nation will politely vote segregation away, just like we did during the American Civil Vote and The Second World Vote.
I have a dream that my four little children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by how politely they wait for incremental reform.

[MLK Jr. is now raising his fist]
I have a dream that the sons of former slave owners and the sons of former slaves will sit together at the table of a diversity panel moderated by a consultant.
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.

    What are all these made up lines? We all know MLK was born, said no words other than “something something content of character”, and then died.
