Hold on to the truth about Martin Luther King's Dream

Glenn Beck's version of "I Have A Dream", which took place on August 28, 2010 in Washington, D.C. is an insult to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy and life, this is an insult to MLK's children, this is an insult to MLK's wife, Corretta Scott King who has been doing MLK's job of keeping up his legacy when her husband was assinated, this is an insult to all the people of color, even if some of them are Republican, and this is an insult to the people of color who maybe to blind to see through Glenn Beck's motives. MLK's motives and goals was for people of every race to come together and love one another and become united as one and have the same equal rights that the majority have in the United States of America, including hoping that all people of different races and religions' eligibility of being elected President of the United States, whether they were Democrat or Republican. MLK motives were to find people to run the country that understood the years of struggle within people of different ethnicity. MLK died fighting "against"racism.Glenn Beck's motives, however, is to ridicule the first person of color to be the President of the United States, because Glenn Beck is a racists. People like Glenn
Beck, however, is one who always had rights in America. Glenn Beck is unhuman for calling President Obama a racist eventhough his mother is white and have white grandparents. While MLK's motives was for every human being of different races to be united as one, Glenn Beck's motives is to divide the races in America, and people who are divided can't stand as one in a country. To this day, civil rights leaders of different races in American are still fighting for equality defined in the Constitution. Glenn Beck is one of the people that is trying to set America back seventy years. All of this proves just how ignorant Glenn Beck is.
Barack Obama is helping people who are struggling economically and regarding health.If MLK was alive today, he would be proud of Barack Obama because what he is doing in the White House. Glenn Beck says that he is reclaiming the civil rights acts, but no one has taken his rights away from anybody.I'm not sure if MLK was a Republican, but if he was, he wouldn't support all this racism that the Republicans spreading around today. MLK wouldn't support the Tea Party Movement because MLK wanted all people to be well taken care of regarding education and health. If MLK was alive today, he would not support Glenn Beck from FOX NEWS CHANNEL, who encourages racism, stereotypes, and other negativity across the country. MLK would not support the Tea Party Movement(especially when they have signs that have President Obama with a Adolf Hitler mustache and wearing a Nazi uniform), FOX NEWS CHANNEL, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity because they all represent hatred and bigotry. Now keep in mind that people like the Tea Party Movement, Glenn Beck, FOX NEWS CHANNEL, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity hated MLK in the early years.
I wouldn't have went to Glenn Beck's celebration of MLK I have a dream speech and to make matter worse, Sarah Palin was there! This is the same woman that stood by Dr. Laura Schlessinger's side when Dr. Laura Schlessinger was excercising her free speech (the n-word incident)! I would want to go to Rev. Al Sharpton's celebration of MLK I have a dream speech, which also took place on August 28, 2010, but I can't remember the location. Rev. Al Sharpton stood by MLK when he was alive. Rev. Sharpton has a better understanding of MLK's message of the "I have a Dream" speech.
MLk would not support the new sb 1070 Arizona Immigration Law and he certainly would not support hb 2281, the ban of ethnic studies in Arizona. MLK also would not support the new education curriculum at the Texas Public School System, the system that is now trying to change and rewrite history (eventhough everyone knows that people can't do that) and trying to change and rewrite the textbooks, removing the some people of ethnic background that helped built America, keeping our children from learning the truth of the past.People of unity, we must hold on to the truth about Martin Luther King's Dream. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr had a dream about the future of equality and living in racial harmony. Glenn Beck was mocking MLK speech.

"The Economy"

Today everyone is expecting miracles in the mist of our broken economy.
In my eyes, President Obama is doing everything he promised. He is doing a good job and trying to erase the damage that the Bush Administration has done. Even I know from experience everything just can't happen overnight. People, President Obama just can't snap his fingers and perform miracles, everything takes work, effort, negotiating, and time. I know President Obama is a smart, intelligent and yet patient young man and works well under pressure. It is important for us as well to be patient and listen to Presidient Obama. We all need to give President Obama credit for his hard work and effort, because he is on a mission to turn America around. It is important for us not to forget that the Bush Administration did a lot of
damage in the span of eight years. The Bush Administration spent billions of dollars in a senseless war and to this day I don't know what the purpose is behind it. If it took a long time for the American economy to deteriorate, it will take a long time for American economy to rise and recover. Apparently, some (not all) people have forgotten that it was the Bush Administration that raped America by raising gas prices and raising prices on groceries and other items in order to support the war in Iraq.
People in America were going broke and struggling, especially around Hurricane Katrina. The Bush Administration's wrath turned America into a third-world country. Also, the Bush Administration has changed everyone's opinion about America forver. I'll never ever in my life forget how high those gas prices were when Bush was in office. I was driving a mini van
to work and the climate is very hot. I had to fill up the tank every four days and the cost was $70.00 for a full tank . Bush was getting a lot of my money. I kept on saying to myself, "God, when is this ordeal
going to end?" I felt like I was going crazy at the time. During that time I spent most of my money I earned from Substitute Teaching on gas! It seemed like no matter how hard I worked 70 percent of my money went to gas! I couldn't enjoy my life and I was at the end of my rope while the Bush Administration was at the White House. I was really frustrated.
When the Obama Administration entered the White House in January 2009, I knew my slavery days were gone. I knew things will be better for everyone. So I'm not complaining about the Obama Administration. I still support Obama and everything he is doing. I think Obama is doing a wonderful job in the White House.

"There is no limit to learning!"

Greetings People of Unity,

This is my continuation of making Ethnic Studies in Arizona Publics Schools a priority.Gov.Jan Brewer signed and approved the hb 2281, which prohibits ethnic studies in public schools.HB 2281 was created by Tom Horne, who is Jewish and the current Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction.Tom Horne, a Republican, should be ashamed of himself. When I read Tom Horne's biography on wikipedia.com.I was in shock because I would have never thought in a million years that someone who should know and
understand what immigrants are going through with the majority in Arizona could be so heartless and cruel.Tom Horne and his family went through the ordeal with majority people back in Poland several years ago.I read that some of his family members died in the Holocaust while his parents manage to escape to Canada.I was shocked at the fact that someone who caught hell with German people could come to this country live herefor a long period of time and automatically turn into one of the majority. Tom Horne is one of those people who've forgotten where they came from. There is a name for people like this and it is called "hypocrite".Anyway, the purpose behind hb 2281 is to keep minorities from hating a "different race". In translation, the reason why hb 2281 because Tom Horne wants to keep minorities from resenting majority people.It is important for you to learn about different cultures through education.As I said before, it is very important for you to learn about your heritage and different ethnic backgrounds so you can have high self esteem and learn what you are capable of doing in order to change the world. Also, the state of Texas is doing the same thing by putting out a more "conservative" education cirriculum. Brothers and Sisters, education is freedom. Knowledge is power.
Education teaches you to "not just settle for just anything, not even a low-paying job". Education teaches you to "strive for the best in life". Education teaches you that there are no boundaries and you can do anything you put your mind to. The world is your oyster and the sky is the limit. Education makes you free from bondage and oppression that *The Arizona Crew are trying to put you in. You don't have to work in a fast food place when you get older. You can be doctor,a lawyer, a teacher, a scientist, or you can even be President (as we learned from President Barack Obama).
We must come together as one to bring an end to these neo Jim Crow Laws. This is America: Land of the Free.Tom Horne doesn't have the right to tell you who to hate or what to think. Who does she think she is?
This is a form of mind control.Tom Horne is trying to keep you from developing your mind. When someone gets an education, he or she
is mentally free and independent. When someone gets an education, he or she finds themselves and develop a higher state of mind. Education is a way out of your oppression and poverty. The Arizona Crew are some
of the majority who are trying to keep minorities down and dumbfounded.
Ethnic studies involves several subjects including geography, social studies, socialogy, history, physchology,government, and science. Ethnic studies is not just one subject.Also, keep in mind that the purpose of learning the subject of history (including our ethnic history) is so we could learn from our past and not repeat the same mistakes again, to learn the difference between right and wrong, to learn the difference between what defines justice and what is unfair to society.What in the hell does changing the education system in Arizona concerning ethnic studies have to do with protecting the citizens of Arizona? What does this have to do with keeping, as Gov. Jan Brewer says, "drug cartels" and "crimes" (which are stereotypes) from Arizona? what does hb 2281 have to do with the sb 1070 at all? *The Arizona Crew are kind of majority people in Arizona who just don't want to face that anger and resentment from the Asians, Hispanics, and other races.Majority in Arizona are pulling the same mess that majority people pulled with black people seventy years ago! Back then the majority didn't want black people to get an education. Majority people wanted black people to be farmers, laborers, and housekeepers. Today the state of Arizona want to put on ethnic studies ban in Arizona public schools because they don't want hispanics and asians to learn about themselves. The majority of Arizona want them to say, "No sauh", "Yes sauh", and want minorities to keep their heads low when they approach a white person just like black people did when they came around a white person seventy years ago.And the minorities that want to do do something with their lives were considered "uppity". The negativity from a person of the majority spreads from minority to minority. This angers me because the state of Arizona is trying to turn the Hispanics, Asians, and African Americans into "uncle toms". Tom Horne, Gov. Jan Brewer, and other majority people in Arizona like the idea that the Hispanics and Asians "don't know any better" or "don't speak english well" just like the majority people several years ago like the idea that minority people are "ignorant, lazy, and don't know any better, deaf and dumb, and idiotic". Seventy years ago majority people forbid black people to read, write or have any source of education because the majority people wanted their stereotypes about black people to be true. The *Arizona Crew are just like majority people are afraid of minorities with education. Also, my worse nightmare is beginning, these immigration laws are influencing others state across America. Remember Education is freedom and escape from poverty.It is also the pursuit of happiness. Brothers and Sisters of different racial backgrounds, LET NO ONE TAKE AWAY YOUR FREEDOM AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE! PEACE AND BLESSING TO YOU!

AND REMEMBER WHAT ARIZONA IS DOING AFFECTS ALL OF US!

* The Arizona Crew is considered to be Tom Horne, Gov. Jan Brewer, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and Senator Russell Pierce

The N word is never ok to use!

Sarah Palin is defending Dr. Laura Schlessinger on her so called "free speech" moment using the N-word. Defending Dr. Laura Schlessinger exercising her "free speech" shows Sarah Palin's is "true colors" and she is not taking the initiative to think that this may get her into trouble and may make her look bad to the majority as well as the minorities who represent the Republican Party. I'm extremely sorry, but I don't believe Dr. Laura Schlessinger's apology. When you apologize to someone, you do "soul searching" about yourself to find out what "you" did wrong and you try your absolute best not to say words or phrase that hurt other people ever again and find ways to improve and redevelop that close
friendly bond so that bond can spread from person to person and your reputation will be good again. So far from what I've seen and heard from her on news channels such as CNN, she hasn't made me a believer. Dr. Schlessinger knew what she was saying because she repeated the N-word 11 times. According to Dr. Laura Schlessinger she said she left her show so she can exercise her 1st amendments. Since her "retirement" (eventhough I don't buy the retirement thing) from the show, I think I heard her say she is doing stuff on the internet now, excercising her "free speech". Dr. Laura Schlessinger is too blind to her ideology to see that she is "getting herself into trouble". In my opinion, Dr. Laura Schlessinger left her show so she can go around saying the N-word when she want to and in a joking manner. The N word is NEVER ok to use even if African Americans themselves use it. The N word has a negative meaning to make African American feel low and allow another person to feel powerful. The N word is extremely offensive. It is apart of racism, a word based on judgement and stereotypes based on color that causes us as Americans to be divided even we as Americans are supposed to be "United".
Excercising free speech does not give anyone the right to say racial slurs towards other people. There are other ways people can exercise free speech and free thinking. Sometimes other peoples' idea of "free speech" can get those same people in trouble. This is no longer the old "Jim Crow" days when the majority mistreated minorities simply because the majority thought they were "better" then the minorities, this is a new era and a new day. There are laws out there. The world is changing, and the minorities will not tolerate racial disrespect from anyone whatsoever. Also, when the public looks at you and listens to you, you are considered a role model no matter what. Even children look at you. You are suppose to set an certain example far as helping people around the country or even the world. Dr. Laura Schlessinger and Sarah Palin are setting a bad example for children because they are promoting racism. If African Americans promote racism in different ways they are setting a bad example for the children as well. People need to understand that spreading and promoting racism and stereotypes everywhere you go (even in your job) justifying them both as "free speech" will get you so deep in a hole, they will not be able to get themselves out. Dr. Schlessinger was on Larry King Live on CNN, and it was said that Dr. Laura Schlessinger lost some of her sponsors after her "free speech". When people have sponsors, that mean having promotion and having support of something. But after that incedent, she doesn't have as many sponsors as she used to because those
companies don't support that kind of philosophy. I don't care if Dr. Schlessinger was trying to prove a point to the caller, talking like that on the radio is extremely unacceptable.

Sick and Tired

I'm really angry at the fact that people (mainly Republicans) are so wrapped up at the fact whether President Obama is an American or not.
This is a waste of time. We have real issues in this country that need to be dealt with. People need jobs
and the economy is messed up (thanks to Bush), and there is an oil spill going on in the Gulf Coast. We also have more important things to
do with our time. Republicans are still talking about this issue simply because they are looking for an excuse to get
rid of President Obama. These republicans know good and well the President Obama is an American because he was born
in Hawaii in 1961. Hawaii became a state in 1959! Get a life Republicans! The entire time since 2008 (yes eversince 2008) the
Republicans have been talking about stupid issues while the Democrats have been trying to figure out how in the hell
can we get out of this war with Iraq that Bush got us in and how in the hell can we get the economy back in order. The entire
time while the Democrats are trying to get the country back together, the Republicans are too busy exiling Hispanic Americans and get rid of the 14th amendment.
The entire time that the Democrats trying to clean up all the mess thet the Bush Administration did, those Republicans are
going around the country saying "We need to get rid of Obama", and "Lets take our country back", and "Get on the bus" (Micheal Steele said that)
and "Nancy Pelosi need to get at the back of the bus" (Micheal Steele said that too).
Republicans are also angry at the fact that Michelle Obama and her daughter went to Spain. I mean Republicans talked a lot of mess. What is the
big deal about Michelle Obama and her daughter taking a trip to Spain? Nothing! People take vacations all the time! So what is the big deal?
Why aren't the Republican talking about that Republican Micheal Steele spending money at those strip clubs? See, the Republicans don't want
to talk about that! While Democrates main objection is help the people of America, the Republicans main objective is to bash Obama!
This bashing and ruining the Democrats is stupid and immature! We as one need to come together and solve our issues together.
Eversince 2009, the Republicans have absolutely nothing to help this country nor its people! I'm sick and tired of mess people! Grow up, Republicans!

My view on the 14th amendment

Republicans are now trying to change the 14th amendment. Republicans don't realize they are wasting their time.
There will always be proof that the child of ethnic backgrounds is an American citizen, and that is the birth certificate
(document that shows when and where you were born). For example, I was born in Pascagoula, Mississippi, United States in 1979.
My birth certificate tells me where I was born and what hospital I'm from. This also makes me a legal United States citizen.
That means I have same equal rights as everyone else, I can be whether I want to be, I have the right to go where ever
I please. I have the right to go to school, I have the right to vote, I have the right to work, and I have the to own
a house. It doesn't matter whether the parents of the child are legal or not, it doesn't matter where the parents come from,if the child was born on American soil, in an American state, in American city, in an American hospital house or apartment on an Amerian street, that child is an American citizen! No question asked! It doesn't matter whether the Republicans get rid of the 14th amendment or not, it doesn't change the fact that the child is an American citizen. Like I said before, there will always be proof that a child that was born in America is an American citizen, and that is the birth certificate.When a child is born in America with an American birth certificate, that child is automatically legal and legitimate.

The Building of the Mosque at Ground Zero in New York

I'm distraught over the fact that some people in America are against building of the Mosque in Ground Zero in New York.
People, America is a free and independent country! No one has the right whatsoever to tell Muslim Americans where to construct a building. Also, people have the right to have whatever kind of religion they want. Now no one has to like it, but everyone has to respect what kind of religion that they have. Telling people where to build a certain place would be very unconstitutional. Also, stop the stereotypes, the hate and the bigotry! How are we going to a united country
if there is so much division in this country? Muslim Americans deserve the same rights as that we as Caucasion-Americans,
Afican-Americans and other Americans have. The statement that some people repeated that Muslims have caused what happened in 9/11 is not true. The truth is Muslims are against violence and terrorism. What happened in 9/11 was conducted under
the work of Al-Queda, Muslims had nothing to do with 9/11. Besides, America have their own terriorist, and they are
called the Klu Klux Klan (KKK), a white organization that hates anybody who is different based on the color of their skin.
People of unity please lets not forget the crimes that the KKK committed during the years simply because they didn't like their skin color.
What bothers me so much is that Conservatives and Republicans
who call themselves "Christians" don't sometimes exercise true "Christian" values as they claim they do, they exercise
their own opinionated view and values and then they call them christian values. The Republicans and Conservatives don't have any room to critize other people who follow other religions. Also, the Bible says God says christians should honor
and obey their King, and so far what I've witnessed, these Conservatives and Republicans haven't done that.

Texas creating a more "conservative" education for public schools

Hello people of unity. Texas wants to change their education cirriculum around for their personal benefit. To me, the purpose
of certain subjects such as history is to learn about ourselves and our heritage. The state of Texas don't realize
residential students are headed for trouble when they start taking various important test. It is important for different
ethnic backgrounds to learn aobut their culture. Once again this is another step back into the dark ages and toward racism in
America. What is the purpose of this "conservative education curriculum"? Children's education is in trouble because people
in Texas education system wants to pretend minorities don't exists. They don't want to except the fact that the world
is changing. They want poison children's mind with lies and racism. The children of the state of Texas are becoming prisoners
in their minds. Minority teachers should protest this cirriculum, better yet go on strike! This is racism. Minority students
shouldn't accept this because it is not fair to them. It is important that children of all races learn different cultures.
I would want students to learn who I am because I'm making a difference in this country. I want to the future better for
the children in America.

My biggest fear is this might influence the entire country and that is not a good thing at all!

Hustling Propoganda: What people do for the love of money

I was watching Countdown with Keith Oberman MSNBC one night, and Keith was talking about Rush Limbaugh discussing the death
of George Steinbrenner and Rush Limbaugh said,"That cracker made a lot of money over those black people!" and I responded by saying, "OMG!"
I also said, "Rush Limbaugh is so ignorant and stupid" and my father said, "No, Rush Limbaugh is smart because he is making
a lot of money saying all that racist garbage. He is telling the republicans what they want to hear and he is getting high
ratings because there are actually people out there that are stupid enough to believe what Limbaugh says. People who listens
to Limbaugh all the time are puppets and Limbaugh KNOWS these people are stupid enough to listen to the bullshit that comes out of
his mouth!" People out there Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, and other hustlers that are trashing President Barack Obama
are out selling there souls to the devil in order to make a dollar. This is how that damn TEA PARTY MOVEMENT started! All those
people are stupid enough to listen and believe all the garbage these people on television were saying and got them all hyped up.
And while angry lynch mobs are forming, those republican celebrities are cashing their checks and enjoying their
mansions with the swimming pools in their backyard. This is all about MONEY!!!! THESE REPUBLICAN CELEBRITIES DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE LISTENING
AND LOOKING UP TO THEM! By the way I think Keith Oberman labeled Limbaugh as the worst person in the world.

Arizona Bans Ethnic Studies from Students in Arizona Public School Systems

Well people, Govenor Jan Brewer just signed another law that causes another step behind the state of Arizona as well as
the country of America. Ethnics studies, which means Black history, Mexican history, and Asian history is now offically
banned from public schools in Arizona.This is ridulous. The people of Arizona need to get together and have Jan Brewer impeached.
This is against the law because this is discrimination. The only history that is permitted in the state of Arizona is history
concerning white people. Most of the people that built the United States of America are people of different races and ethnic backgrounds. Why on earth would Govenor Jan Brewer sign this law? What is the crime behind learning ethnic history and studies? Why is this any danger to the people of Arizona? Remember that knowledge is power. Arizona is setting the students' education in turmoil. Ethnics Studies is a "necessity" in the education system. Without it people will be lost and dumbfounded.
If it weren't for people of different races, we wouldn't have certain things that we can't live without today. Students of
diffrent races need to learn more about themselves, where they come from, and why things are the way they are today.It is very important for children of different races to learn their heritage and culture that is part of them. Arizona is turning into a Jim Crow state. I hate this law with a passion. Also, what if hispanics, asians, and other people of color have to take a certification test in the future in Arizona?
What if some hispanics, asians, and other people of color decide they want to move somewhere else from Arizona for a better job?
For example, the PRAXIS EXAM in order to be a teacher. If some of the questions involve hispanics and asians from the past, the students will not be able to know the answers because ethnic studies have been banned. The hispanics, asians, and other races would not have enough information for them to help with their education.
