The country spent numerous hours of TV,and other media, honoring the memory of Martin Luther King on the 50th anniversary of his murder. Anyone who was close to him, marched with him or spent time in jail with him was called upon to tell his story (over and over in most cases). While I have no problem with that I cannot help but think that this man has a Day, marked on the calendar, to remember him while we have Presidents Day. We gave up recognizing Washington, our first President and the man recognized as the founder of our Republic. Likewise, we do not honor Lincoln any longer with a special day, the man who saved the union. Just seems to be----unequal! We have thoughtful writers like Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell who contribute so much to those who take the time to read them.
There are many blacks in our history, men and women who have made contributions to the formation of our country who are left out of our memory bank. A free black, Crispus Attucks, fell in the street at the Boston Massacre. Washington's slave was with Washington throughout the Revolution. Jim Bowie's freed slave fought and died by his side at the Alamo. Blacks have fought in every war defending this Republic..
Blacks dominate major league sports, making huge salaries while insulting the American flag as well as the fans who idolize them. Somethin's wrong folks!....Medicineman!
My blog will attempt to be a source of accurate information on any subject put forward. My approach to any question will come from the conservative, freedom loving,and Christian. My background includes history, medicine and military. Welcome!
