“Say It Loud”
For a good sum of black America , this has become an election based on race. I’d be curious to see how many of these new voters are basing their political decisions off of the actual issues? Lyrics from a famous James Brown song read, “Say it Loud, I’m black and I’m proud.” I feel as if that’s the attitude behind a good percentage of black America ’s Obama support. I however am not in agreement with this basis of support. I would more than love to one day see the racial ceiling broken in this nation, however not at any cost.
“Content of our character”
In Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I have a Dream” speech, he states, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” Character means moral or ethical quality. Obama is a man who is in support of murder and homosexual marriage. We are so used to hearing the media refer to these as “abortion” and “same-sex union” but let’s not call it what it’s more socially accepted as, but its moral reality.
Isaiah 5:20
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
“The Conclusion”
As a black, non-affiliated, middle class, American voter who would benefit more from Obama’s economic plans to “Change” America , I DO NOT support Barack Obama. When you weigh the economic and financial benefits my checkbook would receive against the moral and ethical issues that are at hand, I cannot bring myself to voting in this sort of liberal way. I can overlook the benefits of the here and now, to think about the then and there when my children are left lacking good morals because all have been tossed down the drain. I do not want to see that happen in this nation, although we are seeing it happen increasingly every day. Let’s strive for the “change” this nation needs, a president AND congress that will reinstate righteous principles and morals and do away with all the corruption and filth. What happened to men and women of integrity???

“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, [Deuteronomy 30:1] blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live.”

From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.' From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance 1z0-043 exam and animosity against my mother's race.' From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white. From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which 350-050 exam side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names..' From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and 70-297 exam Mandela.'
