According to Martin Luther King in Chaos or Community? When the constitution was written the Negro was not even have of the white man even though the Negro fought for the country independent. King talked about how the black community was left behind as he stated, “The rate of infant immortality among African-American is double that of the whites “(King 7). Black people were suffering from the infant mortality even though the black man was dying in Vietnam. The government control by the white people should been ashamed that they were letting down these black people who was fighting for this country since it birth and still not counted as an equal person to his partner or opponent (White).   
            However lot of this struggle by the color people has changed. Now a black man is equal to a white man, and the infant mortality among African American is low. But the white people still have more college graduate than the black people. The most interesting changes among the color and white people occur this year (2012). On May 17 in a New York Times article Sabrina Tavernise report that “the people of color or the minority such as Black, Asian and Hispanics reached 50.4 percent, representing a majority for the first time in the country history. Now the white majority that will be soon minority is getting old and will need some to care for them. Therefore the big question that still remains is that “Will older Americans balk at paying to educate a young generation that looks less like them selves?” (Tavernise). The white Americans have an erratic history of educating the minority. And now the minority becoming the majority, it will be better for the white people to spend money on educating them, which will benefit them, as they are getting old.
            All these should been needless if the white majority listened to Martin Luther King in 1967. King was crying for equal education, justice and fairness between white and black community. Now there’re still little time left before is too late, it will be on the white majority to educate the color minority.
