The author of the essay feels that whites owe King too.Although King fought for desegregation for blacks, he also liberated whites from the burdens about race. He made everyone equal, which includes whites.
King was the right man at the right time because he was the climax of the Civil Rights movement. He finished what so many before him had fought for. He was a great man, but he was simply there to led Civil Rights during its last stage.
I don't think King would mind that part of his speech is used today. It means people liked it , that they believe in it. He wanted to get rid of racism and segregation. He didn't want one race to be more powerful or "better" than another. When he said that no one should be judged by the color of their skin, he meant no one. Just because you're white, it doesnt mean you're anything, good or bad. The same goes for everyother race.
