Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr - 2004
How many of us are going to do something in relation to Dr. King or his legacy? How many of us are going to pause to remember who he was or what he did? How many of us are going to remember his dream and try to build a world where it will be fulfilled?
I looked at the Mayor of Atlanta�s speech and have to laugh at the idea that the Democrats do more for African Americans than other political parties. The Mayor of Atlanta should really be ashamed.
I think that the biggest problem in America isn�t race but poverty. I don�t think that our social programs are adequate to fix the problems in our society.
I believe there is a vast, left wing conspiracy to keep minorities uneducated and impoverished by a string of social programs that are structured in such a way that you�re trapped by them.
Then you have Democrats perpetuating the ignorance that Republicans are against minorities and the poor. They use the welfare and education reforms that the Republicans have proposed as arguments against them. I�m sorry, but the Democrats controlled the Congress for thirty years, in which, they did very little in the way of meaningful social reform.
The Republican reforms need a little work as well but they�re better than the entrapping programs envisioned by liberal politicians.
We need programs that are set up so you can use them as a stepping-stone to a successful and self-sufficient life. We need to find ways to help people financially and give them job training (which was started by the Republican Governors and the Republican controlled Congress). We need to do more.
We need to do more but hateful speeches from Democrats in an election year isn�t the solution to this problem and as our Spiritual Leader, Al Sharpton, has pointed out to his counterparts in the race for the Democratic Nomination, having a couple black friends isn�t enough.
Again, I believe that education coupled with our social programs (and new and improved ones) is the only way to a successful America. When you look at people like Condi Rice, Colin Powell and Oprah Winfrey you don�t see Americans who got where they were because of social programming but by their hard work and ingenuity. Social programming may have helped but it wasn�t the only vehicle to their very successful lives.
