Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the civil rights march in Selma, President Obama said that America’s history of racial conflict “still casts its long shadow”.
Made all the longer by race-hustlers and poverty-pimps who pretend it’s still about lunch counters and drinking fountains.
Yeah, it’s about 6’1
how tall is Obama?
Including results for how height is obamas
I guess that’s for Obama voters
There are those who risked very serious consequences when they marched at Selma, walked in Montgomery, gathered at the Lincoln Memorial, protested with dignity so that their dignity could not be denied, and made humanity notice the injustice of what they faced daily.
And yet, today, there are too many who profit by perpetuating that same racial divide which past generations shined a spotlight on. For too many, there is more money in keeping the racial inequality alive than there is in perpetuating the accomplishments and opportunities which are a result of the bravery shown by those who risked so much. There are too many who are profiting from this modern form of slavery. Where there is profit, there is business, commerce, and greed.
gotta keep them on the government plantation
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
― Samuel Adams
That might be true, but it’s all the worse that people insist on standing in that shadow…
