Happy Birthday Martin Luther King Jr - I Still Have a Dream
I truly admired Martin Luther King Jr. The vision that he had, how close he was able to get to God and to see and carry out the vision that was given to him by God. He paid the ultimate price so that people like me could pursue the kind of life that I am able to cherish.
With this post I want to remind people that though we have come very far in this nation we still have a long way to go. Racial tension is still a place of hurt in this nation. Rights are still being taken away because we as a people do not vote. We are like sheep that have no direction. People that need to be told what direction to go and how to pursue that direction.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a visionary that had a dream that one day this nation will treat everyone equal. It may seem that we have accomplished this dream but there are still people that work hard to take away that dream from people of color (minorities). So, if you have time, please listen to Martin Luther Kings Jr speech. It is still relevant in this time and age. Though not as strong, though not as apparent, it is still here. We still have work to do.. Continue the work…

I am a computer programmer that got fed up with the corporate life. While I write the post I have since removed myself from the corporate life and am now doing affiliate marketing full time. It was not easy. I took a lot of slack from bosses that did not have the same vision that I had. But I continued to rock on and follow my dream.
I hope everyone stopped for a few minutes yesterday and really thought about Dr. King’s message.
I had the chance to explain it to my five-year-old twins on the way to school. This is the first time they have really been old enough to grasp what it was about.
Just explaining the concept of prejudice was distasteful, and my kids reacted with innocent shock–they simply couldn’t understand why someone would hate another person for no good reason except their appearance.
It just goes to show–prejudice is taught, not inborn.
