First off, I give all glory and praise to my father in heaven and also, my Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ. With that said, I would like to ask the reason why we still celebrate the dream of Dr. King? No offense, I definitely believe in his dream, as well as many others, but what about the rest that don't believe in his dream? This is a man that fought long and hard to help us get what little bit of freedom that we have today. This is a man that endured a lot of hardship, struggle, pain, and many others just so we can enjoy the same luxuries that we do today. This same man lost his life for something that he believed in and not because he was in the wrong neighborhood, or wearing the wrong color-clothing. Today's young man hasn't even gone through a fraction of what Dr. King or the rest of our ancestors went through but act as though the world owes them something. I know for me, I've never seen anyone get lynched. I've never seen anyone hosed down. I've never seen any race only based businesses. I've never been turned away from school just because of the color of my skin. I've enjoyed all the luxuries of freedom courtesy of Dr. King, Malcom X, Rosa Parks, Emmett Tillman, and many others that put their life on the line just so I can have a better life. Now I know that racism and prejudice is still alive and well, but not so visible that it interferes with me and my family. I'm still in a daze at the fact that we have a black president. We definitely shouldn't have any excuses whatsoever now. Despite how light he is, or how to some, not black enough, he's still black. Now tell me that God isn't a good God. We need to stop making excuses about him not being this or that and just accept that he is just like one of us.Take resposibility for our own actions and get ourselves together we will be alright. We can finally say that we have an African American President, a black president, but we can't say that we have a ni$$er president. He at least gives us a clean slate. So with that said, are we going to back him up and help with what he's started? The ball is in our court. So what are we going to do about it? I love you all from the depths of my soul and look forward to hearing from you hopefully soon.
