INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS

I have to say we have come a long way from the 60's and 70's of inter-relationship with each other. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stated that we all all get together and become as one, side by side. I believe that we would get along and we will be together and working together side by side. However, I met a man that actually said he did not believe in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. what the activist rally was for. He stated that he was born black and that he came from a sister, why would he want to mingle with a wet dog.  He really had me laughing at him because he had a point.  My opinion on what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for is equal rights. That we should be able to have a good education and work those high salary jobs.

Coming up to our time, we now have gay rights, better education, and high paying salaried jobs. However, we are still slaves to our jobs. What I have notice very few of us own our own business and we are put in these high salaried jobs to keep us in our place. I have stayed in hotels and motels in Georgia and they are all own by Asian and European Americans. I could be wrong but when it comes down to African American we have been place on the back burner to being our own boss.  We are still in the high rate of having babies out of wedlock. The high school drop-out rate is high for African American and some of us rely on welfare and food-stamps. We are very few as business owners.  So did Dr Martin Luther King Jr. fought for the right thing. Whatever your situation is at this time you can make your own determination.

Whomever you married rather it is white or black, loving God is the most important commandment of all.
