And has that day arrived, 'Jack'? And if not, has the progress made towards it come about by people sitting on their hands saying 'just  be patient'?

"Now I would like to mention one or two ideas that circulate in our society—and they probably circulate in your society and all over the world—that keep us from developing the kind of action programs necessary to get rid of discrimination and segregation. One is what I refer to as the myth of time. There are those individuals who argue that only time can solve the problem of racial injustice in the United States, in South Africa or anywhere else; you’ve got to wait on time. And I know they’ve said to us so often in the States and to our allies in the white community, 'Just be nice and be patient and continue to pray, and in 100 or 200 years the problem will work itself out."' We have heard and we have lived with the myth of time. " Martin Luther King Jr., December 7, 1964 (1/2)
