OBAMA'S SPEECH REMINDS ME OF PRESIDENT LONDON B. JOHNSON (LBJ)

One morning I was relaxing in my bed and flipping channels on my television when I came upon a documentary honoring Martin Luther King, Jr.  The film was in black and white showing the time frame of our history.  Dr. King was leading large numbers of people to march against injustice.  So many were of school age yet they were strong in their mission to be treated fairly. 

There were times when dogs were loosed on human beings who were peacefully marching to expose the injustice that ruled our country; water hoses were opened to literary blast many to the ground breaking bones and causing tearing of skin; tear gas was released in the air to burn their eyes near blindness and police officers used hard clubs to beat them in the head  and anywhere else on their bodies that would cause physical damages to take control of their lives.  The dramatic and barbaric attacks marchers experienced back in those days revealed the core heart of this country.  You must ask your self who has a right to attack a child of God?  That is the only question that one must ask to understand why racism should be resolved by now.

As I observed the hideous sight of human beings being treated like animals, I realized there was a man in the White House who was not like the average man in the White House, this man had a heart for humanity just as his predecessor, President John F. Kennedy had when he stood up for injustice.  President London B. Johnson was warned his popularity would practically diminish if he made it possible for blacks to vote in America.  This man was also involved in “The War on Poverty” and many other civil issues.  Knowing his risks, he stood behind his convictions to bring justice to the people Dr. King, Jr. was fighting for.  As a result, he lost popularity.  When asked why the fall in popularity, President Johnson told them, "I am a dominating personality, and when I get things done I don't always please all the people." Johnson also blamed the press, saying they showed "complete irresponsibility and lie and misstate facts and have no one to be answerable to." He also blamed "the preachers, liberals and professors" who had turned against him.”

This American history reveals our tendencies to not choose best.  Also it reveals that although Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and millions of other people who suffered and died for justice lacked the power to get things done alone.  The world was not going to listen or move on the determined marchers’ behalf.  It took President Johnson to open the eyes of many Americans to see how unjust we were as a nation.  As the election progress we are seeing our American demons exposed daily.  Usually when a soul attempts to bring the world to a state of universal conscious, hell breaks lose and at times someone good dies.  I pray that America is still not following the devil.  We need to stop killing hope, love and life in America.  What candidate has what it takes to step up to the plate?  Whoever it is, he or she would be a humble spirit depending on God to guide their footsteps.  We do not need darkness anymore.  ENOUGH ALREADY!!  Come on America wake up!  We are dying.
