Why is It Why is it that a Black Man can create a tiny piece called a filament(electric light - Lewis Latimer) that allows people to see in the dark?But can't be seen fit to lead a country to the true light. Why is it that a Black Man can create an instrument (clock - Benjamin Banneker) that all people use to tell time? But people don't think it is time for him to run a country. Why is it that a Black Man can design a place for the high authorities to meet in and a place for the president to live in (The Capital and the White House Phillip Reid (a slave) and Pierre L'Enfant) But not good enough to lead these meetings or live in himself. Why is it that a Black Man was brilliant enough to do the first open heart surgery (Dr. Daniel Hale Williams) and show the world how to get and preserve plasma (Dr. Charles Drew)? But not good enough to put a program in place where everyone can afford this surgery. Why is it that a Black Man was creative enough to design an instrument(traffic light - Garrett Morgan) to bring multiple people (traffic) to a halt? But not seen creative enough to design a plan to bring all this unnecessary and worthless fighting between countries. Why is it that a Black Man could create the soles (shoes - Jan Matzeliger) that people walk on every day? But not seen good enough to fill the shoes of a bad president. Why is it that a Black Man was smart enough and brave enough to teach himself (Fredrick Douglas and Thomas Fuller - both slaves) and others how to read, write and/or calculate math?But not seen smart enough and bold enough to calculate a platform to be President to a country that sure needs another first by us. YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT OF THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! So you see my Brother and Sisters what I am saying is let us not forget our past, which led us to our present and can definitely be the backbone to our future. We were good enough, smart enough, creative enough, and bold enough then, so let us all give Obama the chance to show that we are still these things and more. We all are as strong as our weakest link, so do not be that weak link that denies our people that chance to show we still can OVERCOME! Take what you have just seen and read to heart. Make no mistake, we have proven ourselves time and time again without recognition. Obama will become President and all of the thankless sweat, blood and tears our forefathers, fore mothers, African-American inventors, innovators, and leaders of time shed will finally be recognized, respected and embodied in the form of President Obama. Let us pray, fervently for Barak Obama. As you may or may not be aware, McShame-Pollution ticket is pushing the most negative campaign ever and you can tell, they are bringing out the worst in their constituents and undercover racists are taking the masks and gloves off. I'm waiting for the KKK to show up at their Rally's to validate the prejudice and negativity that is beginning to show it's ugly head in the party.
Just the other day, you can hear someone shouting "kill him" from the audience and McCain nor Palin stopped to address, or send secret service to investigate. They simply ignored it. Not saying anything equals you putting your stamp of approval on the behavior. Even sadder, are our African American sister's and brother's in the Republican party watching this go down, saying and doing nothing about the obvious racist tone of the McCain-Palin ticket. This isn't what any of us signed up for, we want to stick to the issues and have a fair fight about what matters most to all of us, economy, health care, taxes, foreclosures, bail-out, etc. . .
Pray family, that God's will be done . . . nothing happens unless it comes across God's desk first anyway. Pray that God makes Obama's enemies his footstool and cause even the raven (opportunists and those people seeking to take from him) to feed him (bless him instead. . .).
Let us pray that he and his family are protected and that President Obama will adhere to and be led by God.
PASS THIS ON!
