For America


The time has come to get rid of our second class vision, so that we are able to prepare for our first class position.


It is time to look beyond the walls of our ghettos and past the ills of our neighborhoods.


It is time to remove the bricks of hopelessness, illiteracy, and ignorance; and replace them with walls of courage, education, and pride.


Courage; Courage enough to realize that the time is now to become our best most unique selves. Even though you may have been born into disfunction, you embody enough courage to know that you were created for something more.


Education; Go out and grab the education that you deserve so that you are able to be the leader of your own footsteps.


Pride; Pride great enough to realize that the same problems that affected this generation we will not allow to affect the next generation.



We must go forward with a purpose that is filled with tenacity, perserverence, and grace.


We should know that we are standing on the shoulders of ancestors that planted seeds of resilience, sticktuidness, and determination.


Now those seeds are finally being watered and are able to grow because the soil has been turned.


Yeah. The soil has been turned.


Now we must plow the field so that the soil has roots. Roots good enough for the next four generations to feed on.


You feel that people, the soil is firm and good.


So, walk tall and walk proud. And walk forward into your divine destiny.

I agree and I really enjoyed this blog. I also feel that we need to stop making excuses for ourselves and our race because we now see that we can make a change. Anything is possible and we are responsible for our lives. We have choices that we make that affect our lives in either a positive or negative way.
