Question

Does The "I Have a Dream Speech" Have Any Significance To You?

Answer 1

Not really too much cause racism isn't as present as it was before, but prejudice acts are still here. Important speech.

Answer 2

Yes,  It means I have a dream that there are no more Democrats in America and thus unborn babies can live, homosexual perverted behavior has ceased , God is no longer a bad word, and socialism is  banned.

Answer 3

Yes, it is the perfect plan for peace between peoples who were bitterly divided by the meaningless nature of their skin.

He had a dream that children could play together as equals no matter what colour their skin. Through the hard work of many people, that dream is becoming a reality.

That speech showed me what humans were capable of - no need for the involvement of God.  

Answer 4

Yes, it has a large significance to me, but the actual implication of the action he spoke about means much more to me then hearing the speech over and over - and over again. Although again, every time I hear it I'm touched.  

Answer 5

No, I think it is sentimental hogwash.

It tries to rob God of his Christ who alone can change hearts.

King taught that he had a dream that was like heaven black and white  kids holding hands.

It only happens because of the civil rights law and not because of love in the heart.

It is not real.

Answer 6

no cuz i dont care about stuff like politics or whatever yes i know i am very stupid and i have no life so dont bother screaming at me gawsh

Answer 7

Of course it has significance to me.  Although I ponder often why humans had to have legislation on a Federal level to announce how special everyone is to one another.  The Constitution of America was left vague on this topic purposefully, as many people in charge in 1780-something wanted to open the doors to Black Americans then but then understood the upheavel it would cause.  There were several Black Americans in the Colonial Days that had to go to court to win their freedom, but that could only be achieved in the Northern States.

If every life is important and valueable (so say the pro-lifers) then why was this injustice allowed to continue well into the 1950's?

Answer 8

Well,I know  MLK said it once upon a time,and for a good reason.

I don't go around reciting it everyday or even think about it,though.  

Answer 9

Alot of black men and women (mostly women) dont like race mixing ,as in boy friend girl friend. But they still idolize MLK. The dream turned out to be a nite mare.

Answer 10

Ironically, I'm staying in Selma Alabama tonight and have been pondering such things. Driving around this rather down-trodden town today, I can't see that many dreams helped much here in the past 4 decades.

Answer 11

Yes... when I watch film of that speech, I get all choked up.  MLK dreamed of the world we ALL wish we could have.

Answer 12

Although I am Caucasian and was a young girl when MLK gave that speech, I have heard it many times and believe it to be one of the most stirring and powerful speeches ever given.  I hope that his dream really does come true on day.  I think all people are entitled to live free and equal lives.
