In his speech Martin Luther King talked about brotherhood and sisterhood between races and that we all should accept and love each other not treating people as inferiors only because of their race. If we see the times when he made his famous speech we can see how racist and segregatory the u.s was, white people who were the vast majority though they were more valuable and important than black people only because of the color of their skin, for them it wasn't the same if a white person died that if a black one did, they thought it was gods will that they should be treated as inferiors. Nowadays we can say that things are different a black person nowadays is as valuable as a white one and the us isn't ruled by one religion that makes people hate each other but it's accepting people from all over the world with different races and religions to live in peace and understanding, but sadly there is some major events that make us question how truthful this " reality" really is. According to the http://mappingpoliceviolence.org/unarmed/ , "Police killed at least 102 unarmed black people in 2015, nearly twice each week. " what those this tell us about the brotherhood King had in mind when he made his speech it's been more than 50 years since his speech and if we see how the reality of black American citizens has changed indeed it has and a lot but some thing haven't ,it is reported that in these killings only In ten of them the officers were accused of murder and in only 1 case they had to go to jail and it was one year. So if we compare now this recent events to the time wen King made his speech we can say that there still are people getting murdered because of their race at least know they don't stay unnoticed but the killers are not prosecuted because of their ranks or race. We can also see these in the immigrants crisis that it's happening in the world, the us in particular has a blurred vision about it influenced by media and celebrities running for president most of the us population is against letting Muslims or people from the Middle East enter the country and if we go even more inside they even may want to kill them as they are thirsty for war and oil.
