I didn't jump to any conclusion about whether or not you read any of King's works. I merely stated that if you want to know more about what MLK REALLY thought about Affirmative Action, you would Google the speech and his other works yourself - on your own time - therefore, making it unnecessary for me to post the speech.
If one actually takes the time to READ (meaning not only skim the pages for points to support their argument, but actually make an attempt to UNDERSTAND) King's writings instead of one little snippet from his "I Have A Dream" speech, then they would know he was Pro Affirmative-Action. No, he does not come out and say "GIVE ME AFFIRMATIVE ACTION/RACIAL QUOTAS OR GIVE ME DEATH" (neither of these phrases had been invented during King's time, BTW) but he does suggest it. Again, if one really reads the speech - and not just look for talking points - they'd know that.
But what the hay, I got time to kill - I'll play along...you've read the speech, so you apparently know how to find it (you might also want to rexamine it to see how he additionally alludes to reparations). Here are couple of other quotes from some works you may (or may not have) read (don't want to make any "stereotypes" 
Why We Can't Wait (1963): "Whenever this issue of compensatory or preferential treatment for the Negro is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree, but he should ask for nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but it is not realistic. For it is obvious that if a man enters the starting line of a race three hundred years after another man, the first would have to perform some incredible feat in order to catch up."
Wonder what that bold part alludes to...
Where Do We Go From Here? Chaos or Community? (1967)
"A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for him, in order to equip him to compete on a just and equal basis".
So, if you believe in King 100%:

Then, I guess we can assume you believe in Affirmative Action. Which you've vehemently stated you don't. 
And while people are mad at Black-American leaders who want to "Balkanize" this country, they might want to direct some of that anger towards the "White-Guilt Liberals" for continuing to insist that minorities NEED aff-act in order to compete and the prejudiced/racist folks that continue to discriminate against minorities making all this dialogue necessary.
Edit: Revised to take the "personalness" out of it so as to avoid the dreaded "lock"
