Listen, racists who use MLK's judge by the "content of their character," not "the color of their skin" to justify your racism: King wasn't talking about your children. He was talking about his children. He was saying that whites judge them by skin color and whites need to change.
The full line: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Stop forgetting about that first part like it's the beginning of the 2nd Amendment.
That line is actually specifically about white privilege, that white kids get judged in a way that benefits them and non-white kids, again, specifically, his non-white kids get judged in a way that harms them.
The dream is that whites will evolve, not that non-whites will shut up about wanting equality and about wanting their history told truthfully. That's the dream of racists. Leave Martin Luther King out of your dreams.
