Let's make the dream come true

As always, I give honor and praise to the almighty God that wakes me up and powers me in my everyday life. Having said that, I just want to say that it's been a while since I've updated this blog. And boy has a lot happened since then. Black people still continue to ignore the fact that the "N" word still has power and continue to haunt us as a whole. Many still believe that using the word in a different context changes the meaning and takes away from it but it just intensifies the ignorance of why it was created in the first place. We are looked at as a joke and not taken seriously because we tend to not take things as serious as we should. We have some that do take our issues very seriously I appreciate and commend them for doing so but that gets overshadowed by the ones that glorify the stereotypes that plague us. What would Dr. King think if he were alive today? Malcom X? Thurgood Marshall? JFK? I mean these are people that tried so hard to defend us and convince others that we are humans beings just like everyone else and that we deserve the same rights as everyone else. But what do we do, we continue to prove the critics right that we don't belong, even though we all don't act that way. All it takes is one to bring all of us down but we seem to not have grasped that yet. Once we get the big picture and come together, we will definitely make Dr. King proud. I strive everyday as a proud black man to make sure that I carry myself with the uptmost respect, high confidence, and all knowing that I'm a successful black man. That I'm an educated black man. That I am most importantly, a man. And that I am a servant of God that is doing all he can to make God smile. I pray constantly that we will get it together but I'm only one person. I wish the best for us and hope that I can be a part of the change that I know is truly possible. I love you all and will be back real in hopes of more progress. Just remember one thing in closing, black is beautiful.
