"[Martin Luther King] said that any religion that is not concerned about the poor and disadvantaged, 'the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them[,] is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.' In his 'Dream' speech, my father paraphrased the prophet Amos, saying, 'We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.'"

That was kind of my big fear when Obama was elected. You know some nut job out there some where would love nothing more than to kill him. This country would erupt into civil war between the races. :(
