Blogging With Ike

"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

The Dream has Been Unrealized

After Martian Luther Kings Jr Day we had the inguration of the first black President of the United States of America.

Less then 60 years ago black people were forced to the back of the bus. Seperate but equal ruled the day. We have come far. Barack Obama with his Oscar de la Renta suit on was sworn in. This is less then one person's lifetime.

Yet during the last prayer of the day, we were told that "When white will do what is right." What amazed me is that it seemed that the pastor seemed to be still be living the 50s or the early 60s.

This really bothered me.
