OH,IF WE ONLY HAD MEN OF CONVICTION THESE DAYS IN AMERICA. MEN LIKE ABRAHAM LINCOLN. AS SEEMS TO BE THE NORM IN AN IGNORANT AMERICA THESE DAYS,MILLIONS DO NOT REALIZE THAT IN THE 1860'S AND IN THE 1960'S THE CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUES WERE THE WAY THEY WERE BECAUSE THE GREAT MAJORITY OF WHITES WANTED IT THAT WAY.POLITICIANS LIKE GEORGE WALLACE DID AND SAID WHAT THEY SAID BECAUSE THE GREAT MAJORITY OF THE VOTERS WANTED IT THAT WAY.LINCOLN DID WHAT HE DID BECAUSE OF HIS PERSONAL BELIEFS THAT ENSLAVING OTHER MEN WAS EVIL.JUST SO YOU KNOW,MANY NORTHERN STATES HAD SLAVES AS WELL.AND ONE OF LINCOLNS POLITICAL FOES RAN A BILL THRU CONGRESS THAT WOULD ALLOW FUTURE STATES IN THE WEST,COULD OWN SLAVES. WHAT TO DO WITH THEM WAS A DIFFICULT DECISION. WE ALL KNOW LINCOLN WAS KILLED AND THE REST IS HISTORY.GEORGE WALLACE DID NOT DO ANYTHING POLITICIANS DO TODAY DON'T DO. THEY AS WELL AS HE ,PLAYED TO HIS SUPPORTERS. JUST SO YOU KNOW,WHEN I FIRST VOTED IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA,I HAD A CHANCE TO VOTE FOR GEORGE WALLACE. I VOTED FOR HIS CHALLENGER.WALLACE WON ANYWAY. LET ME ALSO SHOW YOU HOW WE ALL CAN CHANGE OUR MINDS.FROM THE EARLY AGE OF 7 OR 8 YEARS OF AGE I WAS TOLD BY ADULT WHITES IN MY FAMILY,THAT WHAT BLACKS WANTED WAS NOT JUST,JUSTICE AND THE SAME RIGHTS AS WHITES,BUT THEY WANTED TO TAKE OVER AND MAKE WHITES THEIR SLAVES.HMMM. MOST ALL MY FRIENDS WERE LIKE ME,WE DID NOT TAKE THAT SERIOUS.WATCHING THE EVENTS OF THE PAST 20 YEARS,IT'S BEGINNING TO SEEM THAT WAY. THE SHARPTONS OF THE WORLD,THE LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT OF TODAY.THE MIXING OF THE RACES AND THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF OUR NATION HATING EACH OTHER,THE BLACKS HATING THE WHITES,THE WHITES HATING THE BLACKS,AND THE WHITES IN THE MIDDLE ATTACKING THEIR OWN RACE.WOW! THE MERE FACT THAT ALL WE ARE HEARING ON THE NEWS FROM MOST BLACK LEADERS IS WHITEY WANTS SLAVES. I SEE AND HERE THE HATRED SPEWED OUT EVERY DAY.AND I AM SURE YOU ALL DO AS WELL.OWNING OTHER PEOPLE AS A PIECE OF PROPERTY IS OVER IN AMERICA,ENGLAND AND MOST ALL WHITE NATIONS.FIRST OF ALL THE SLAVES AMERICA HAD WERE SOLD TO THEM BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE.AND IT WAS NOT BUT ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO THAT I WATCHED A DOCUMENTARY ON PUBLIC TELEVISION,THAT REVEALED AT THAT TIME AFRICAN TRIBAL CHEIFS WERE STILL DOING IT. SO LET ME SEE,I'M SUPPOSE TO BELIEVE I AM RACIST JUST BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT I AM READING AND WATCHING AND HEARING??? OF COURSE NOT. bLACKS IN AMERICA ARE AMERICANS. PERIOD. IF YOU WISH TO CONSTANTLY INVOKE MLK.tHEN HEAR THIS...DO NOT JUDGE A MAN BY THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN,RATHER BY THE CONTENT OF HIS CHARACTER.REVERSE RACISM IS ALL OVER THE NEWS MEDIA AND I PRAY WE ALL FOLLOW CHRIST AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.WITHOUT CHRIST WE ALL ARE PREJUDICED.I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS IS WHAT GOD DESIRES FOR US.MLK...AND GEORGE WALLACE WERE BOTH JUST DOING WHAT THEIR FOLLOWERS WANTED. LETS GET OVER IT IF WE CAN.
