Quote:It was one of the best speeches cause it was powerful and moving, and very very brave. What made it impressive was the fact that he did exactly what MLK did in standing up for an unpopular belief that was still true. And he was dogged for it.  

 

Self-hatred is a problem many people may have, but the bigger issue is their lack of focusing on the positives in their own life and working to improve the talents God has given them. We are all given some ability, and we should all work to achieve what we can with that ability to God's glory. To do less is to rob ourselves of our own birthright that was given to us, no matter what the reason for doing less is.

 

I am expressing my belief in that last paragraph, and it has nothing to do with someones skin color, but everything to do with their character. And I am saddened, indeed, if you find in it nothing which you can agree. 
 

<p style="font-size:12.222222328186035px;background-color:rgb(247,247,247);">Not to be or even seem dismissive of what your classmate did, I think its easy for anyone to make a speech about how a group of people as a race can be better. I heard those same speeches from community leaders back in my hometown of Brooklyn and here in Jacksonville. What I did was I put actions behind what I wanted from my race. I participated in the PAL and later own was in a mentor group actively giving solutions, tutoring and guidance to young black men who was heading down a dangerous path. 

 
I agree, each of us is born with a gift. Some people are blessed to recognize it, and unfortunately some dont see it. 
 
 I agree with what you are saying, but in my world, people are judged by both their character and skin color. Im not complaining, it happens, its life, and im working hard to change that perception, but I want to celebrate history as well.

Whether someone has a liberal, or conservative viewpoint, a authoritative figure should not lock a thread for the sole purpose to get the last word in all the while prohibiting someone else from being able to respond.
