Race-equal society: Analysis of Negroid Racism in “I have a dream” by King Martin Luthe

Abstract

This article focuses on the concept of race-equal society based on the text of famous speech “I have a dream” by King Luther. Using Critical-Race Theory on the text it is revealed that racism is directly linked with mindsets and lack of awareness as well as courage. The deprivation of basic rights has direct influence on discrimination based on color which later provokes target killing of Negroes. The undertaken research unearths through textual analysis that Negroes also have to raise voices for their basic needs and stand for their freedom. Any kind of discrimination leaves traumatizing effects on the minds from generations to generations of minorities.
