The Two Americas

Based on Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech, he believes there is two Americas. In simplicity, Dr. King means that one America has an abundance of jobs and opportunity for its citizens. On the other hand, he speaks of the lack of respect for African- Americans and how African- Americans have no jobs and even if they do have jobs, their pay is severely low compared to white people. Today, I do think that racism is still about in the world, but we do not see many cases of racism today. -      

In addition, the majority of all people are given the same opportunity when it comes to jobs. Due to the recession the country is in now, there are not as many jobs which means that the country is not really overflowing with an abundance of milk and honey. Similarly, the other America today is poor. The Declaration of Independence says that all men are created equally, so why should anyone be treated differently.
