Nothing can hold us down!

Eventhough some people who fought for justice and equality for everyone were assassinated, they still survived in a way through their children and their relatives and as of today the world is still changing with their help. This should prove to us that violence solves absolutely nothing. While some people are choosing to stick to their old traditional
philosophies, the world and the other people in it are evolving. The Kennedy Family, for example, has grown and continued to fight for the people around the country despite the history of violence that happened to them. John F. Kennedy, eventhough his body died, his spirit was still alive and around us through his children and his philosophies continued to change the country for the better. Robert F. Kennedy, eventhough his body died, his spirit remained alive and around us through his children and his philosophies continued to change the country for the better. Same goes for Martin Luther King, Jr, Malcolm X, Medgar Evers, and other people fought
for equality. Eventhough their bodies died, their spirits and philosophies carried on to make a difference in this world. The Tea Party Movement can flaunt their racism as they please. The KKK can keep on conducting their marches. They can beat us, rape us, intimidate us, and threaten us all they want to, but the fact remains that our spirit of wanting equal rights
and people of color coming together will survive and influence other people to do good for the world until the end of time. The days of Jim Crow will end! Don't ever underestimate us!

The Tea Party Movement is NOT a real movement!

As I looked at a mini magazine called Scholastic, the holiday gift books edition, I scanned through page six and glanced through the info on a children's book called"Marching for Freedom" by Elizabeth Partidge. The book is appropriate for children grades 4 and up. The book is based on lives of brave African American childrenwho represent all the lives of the African American community in the past who went through horrific violence for the precious gift of equality. The book cover reminded me of all the struggles we and other minorities went through over the years. While I was looking at this section on page six, while thoughts went across my mind about the Tea Party Movement. The members of the Tea Party went through absolutely nothing compareto what the African Americans, Jewish Americans, Japanese Americans, Muslim Americans and Hispanic Americans went through in the past (and to this day we are still struggling for acceptance and equality). The members of the Tea Party Movement make me sick to my stomach with their racist signs comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler. The Tea Party Movement is not even a real movement! They're just a bunch of uneducated people who don't know the difference between up and down! Real movements and organizations such as the NAACP, the American Civil Liberties, LULAC (The League of United Latin American Citizens) were formed soul purposes:to pursue the rights of life, liberty, and happiness and to have the same precious gift of freedom and equality just like the majority of the United States. These organizations were created because minorities have been through a certain struggle. The members of the Tea Party Movement didn't face real hard times. They weren't sold into slaveryas if they were property. Their land weren't taken away from them and were forced to move from place to place during the heat and the cold. Members of the TeaParty Movement weren't put in concentration camps filled with gas and forced to eat soup that contained sewage. The members of the Tea Party Movementhaven't had lynch mobs running after them and then taking pictures of people being hung from the tree. Am I missing anything?And that sideshow circus act that Glenn Beck and his victims performed at the Lincoln Memorial was in insult to the real people who did face real times and hadno equal rights and no freedom. It was also in insult to MLK's legacy. It really tripped me out as I seen everybody at that Glenn Beck rally singing and holding handsand rocking side to side, as if they've been through hard times.The Tea Party Movement hold rallies at different places and shout through their lungs "as if theyreally been through some hard times". Please, OK!! They have been through NOTHING AT ALL!!!The only thing that the members of the Tea Party Movement had to do was contribute money to the government! The Tea Party Movement think their country is gone, huh?Who took it away from them? So the Tea Party Movement doesn't want the government to mess with their Social Security checks, huh? Do these people realize that theirchecks come from the government? Do these people realize they can't survive without taxes? America can't operate without taxes. And I will say it again, the members of the Tea Party Movement has been through NOTHING!!!!

The True Colors Of Jeff Sessions(R-AL)

According to several articles from the internet Jeff Sessions said that civil right organizations NAACP and the American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) is un-American and "Communist-inspired" simply because he thinks people of different ethnic backgrounds shoved civil rights down the throats of majorities. People of Unity, this is insane!!!! Is he serious? Also, Sessions thought that the KKK was good until he found out that the organization smoked pot. Say What? So you mean to tell me that Jeff Sessions approve of the behavior of the KKK terrorizing people of different ethnic backgrounds by using death threats, lynching them on trees, burning crosses on American citizens' front lawns and getting away with such crimes is OK to this man? This is inhuman, a twisted black heart of stone. This man should be fired from his position, because this attitude can't be tolerated anywhere. Also, Sessions think that
people who are illegal immigrants shouldn't receive legal citizenship in the United States. Why? Then he said that he didn't mean anything by his comments. People of Unity, watch out for Republicans who "start to change their words around" and claims of "people taking the comments the wrong way" routine. People like Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, and yes Jeff Sessions can show their true colors in public by accident. This also show us that Jeff Sessions and other people like him doesn't care about anyone
but himself. These racists comments may have erected from Sessions' tongue in the 1980s, but the wounds that he inflicted on the multicultural
community will last forever and will never heal. Also, the purpose for the multicultural organizations such as the NAACP and American Civil Liberties
is promote and achieve the same equal rights as the majority in America. People of ethnic backgrounds deserve the right to pursue life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. People of ethnic backgrounds deserve their chance and their place in America and this world as well. People like Jeff Sessions can't accept the fact that the world is changing and is afraid that people like him will become a "minority". I guess Jeff Sessions thought that the past couldn't catch up with him.
