The " I Have A Dream Speech" by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.," was one of hope and equality for everyone, not just one race of people. He stood up for and protested the injustice and unfair treatment of the Black Race, but asked us to forgive and display harmony with all races. It is so sad that his "Birthday" can't be celebrated as a wonderful and life-changing event in history, but rather with negativity and unnecessary idiosyncrasy. The same injustice and unfair treatment he hoped for and verbalized, has been overshadowed by people and their hatred, which still exists in this world today. He must be turning over in his grave right now!
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. desired harmony and fair treatment between all of the races. Not one time did he preach hate. Why is it when a " civil rights march for equality and fair treatment" is taking place anywhere in this world, it has to be made into a negative event because a group of people are trying to intimidate those, who just want fair treatment and justice for ALL? That only displays some sort of insecurity and fear on their part. I mean, what are the " civil rights marchers" trying to take away from this group of people? Not A Thing! The African American Race are only standing up for what they desire wholeheartedly in this world. Equal Treatment and Justice. They aren't "Marching" in hopes that the African American Community will hate a particular group of people. The "Marches" are attempts to make the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., come alive and stay alive. This man's life was taken away from him, fighting for the rights of everyone; and people are turning his Birthday into a race riot of nonsense. If it wasn't for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fighting for equality and justice for everyone, where would we be right now...all of us - Black, White, and All Other Races? Some of you are trying to keep the past upon the surface. What are you afraid of exactly? Why do you hate? Do you even know? If you were taught hatred early on in your life as a child, bless your heart because you really don't understand. But, if you really want to know what being an African American is like, why not have an open mind. You might just like us after all? You'll be quite surprised! Despite what any one person of hate believes, We Are Intelligent. We Are Well Educated. We Own Businesses. We Live Well. We Welcome Any Race Into Our Families. We Are Hardworking. We Can Articulate Very Well. And, No... We Don't All Look Alike! You'd think that of all the negativity our ancestors was subjected to day after day, it would make us hate those who aren't African American. It's just the opposite. We know that nothing comes from hating a group of people because of their skin color. It will get us no where, because we can't change our skin color. We just want a better world, something we fight for everyday in our jobs, our environments, and in our education. We don't have the time in our lives to hate anyone. We are too busy trying to survive and keep our heads a little bit above the water – which are those of hatred – that's constantly trying to pull us back down and drown us.
Let the nonsense go people! Hating others is only going to get you a first-class ticket to no where. As a Professional Black Woman, raised by a White Grandfather and Black/ Cherokee Indian Grandmother, I feel as if I have all the races mixed in me somewhere, and I am quite okay with it. It doesn't mess with my head when people come up to me and ask " Excuse Me, What Nationality Are You?" I don't favor one group of people over the next, I love everybody!
My dream for this world, is to one day witness a "March" where all groups of people can just come together, give each other big hugs and move on with their lives manifesting the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Maybe my dreams are too grand for actual reality, but I know it's possible. We all have choices to make. Are you going to live your life in bondage hating or do you desire abundance, prosperity, and love? Hating others won't garner you abundance and prosperity, until you learn to love. When you are protesting and preaching hate towards a group of people, are you also praying to your Higher Power to make your life better? Until you release the hate, you will remain in turmoil fighting inner demons that are eating away at your insides. You have hated so long, that you actually believe it!
What are we accomplishing from hating each other anyway? I'll tell you: We are stressed-out, nothing goes good in our lives, we are content just staying and being mediocre, hardships seems to follow us everywhere we go, we can't catch a break in life, we have unexplained aches and pain, and so on and so forth. Most of your hatred was taught to you earlier on in your life. Know this: " Learned Behavior Can Be Unlearned."
Take the challenge towards receiving blessings in your life today by loving all people whether you know them or not; and choosing the race in which you prefer to love isn't optional. We are put on this Earth to love each other, that includes our enemies and people of other races. You can't serve God, the Universe, or whomever your Higher Power may be, by projecting and displaying hate towards each other. "He" is not a part-time spirit, and that means you must be a full-time worshipper of your Higher Power. Hating others and praying for a better life at the same time is contradictory and hypocritical, and does nothing but put a halt on anything wonderful that the Universe has in store for you. Furthermore, how can you have the audacity? None of us have enough knowledge of this world to hate or judge anyone anyway.
" Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality."
