Has MLK's "dream" been realized

In labor, African Americans do not have nearly the same number in high paying and respected jobs. African Americans make up about 13% of our population, so there is no way there could be equal jobs for everyone. Even though this is true, OF about 139,252,000 people employed in management postions, only about 10.7 % of those postions are help by African Americans, as apposed to the 46.5 % that whites hold. Now of all of the postal service clerks - and I'm not saying theres anything wrong with being a postal service clerk, but it is not considered a job of high respect-30.4% of them are African Americans. There is not much anyone can do about the unequality of jobs. People will apply for the jobs they want, and hopefully will get the job they deserve.
