On Wednesday, Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, a Democrat who will likely run for president in 2016, said the lives of “people of color” are valued less than those of whites in America.
Speaking on the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington, O’Malley said there is “too much apathy” in America “when the lives of people of color are too often valued less than the lives of white people.”
He called for a variety of actions that included “abolishing the death penalty,” helping immigrants, and raising the minimum wage.

Firenze Sage, Esq.  The condescending errors abound. Minimum wage workers are not mostly people of color nor are death penalty subjects;  and many immigrants are not of color. But how would  this rich white governor know?
