Happy Birthday Martin Luther King

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. day following his birthday on January 15. Today I have observed and thought about different thing regarding the whole civil rights movement and our generation today. I just feel strongly about what the civil rights activist feel like when they look down on us and see African American's calling eachothers "Nigga". This is the very same word that they fought for, this is the same word that insulted us, and now look how times has changed. I feel bad when I see the way woman are being protrayed, how men are killing eachother over nonsense, and how life is not appreciated. It is like these people died for nothing, because their service to us is being completely ignored. I thank Dr. King for everything he has done for the African American race, and the word itself. Today while watching VH1 Soul this video came on and I couldn't take my eyes from the screen. I never heard anything so beautiful, it really touched my soul. Thank You Dr. King and everyone else who was brave and selfless.
