Has MLK's "dream" been realized?

Hispanics and other minorities median income of house holds has on gone up considerably in the years 1980-2003. Also in the closest year to 2007 that was noticeable in the graphs, 2004, there was not to a very low standard or amount of money for the other races. Also all of the women either black, Hispanic, Asian, or white have generally in the same amount of earnings in the years 1980-2003.
Also there are some very poor issues and noticeable differences in these charts. For one the average income of a whit household in the year 2003 is 45,631 dollars. On the other hand we have an average income for a black household in the year 2003, which is 29,645 dollars. With that kind of amount difference someone should start to ask questions. Finally women on average the white female in the year 2003 earned on average 17, 422 dollars. But a white males' average income for the year 2003 is 30,732 dollars. As you can see based on these statistics something is very wrong.
I think in able to maintain Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s idea of a fair spread of the income i think we shouldn't discriminate just on race or gender. I think no matter what the job is everyone should be looked at as an equal no matter where you come from. And in conclusion making our nation a truly "free world".
