    On this day, 60 years ago, during the March on Washington, MLK delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech to about 250,000 people. I’m not black, but there’s a power and boldness in his speeches that is so unmatched! No matter what race or ethnicity you are, this is someone who everyone should look up to and respect: a hero and a warrior!

      MLK represents the true strength of the United States. No matter how much injustice there may be in this country, he represents all those people, young and old, black and white, man and woman, who hold fast to an unyielding hope that the future could be better. He represents all those people who, in the face of being told that they can't, respond with the timeless American creed: "yes we can"

      @@penonpaper3132 The year that hope was made in America, a time I never forgot, would ultimately serve as a reminder of how far North America as a whole and the entire world has fallen.
      I remembered Obama as the President that would change the world. Sadly, the change he made would never come to be realized, not in the entirety that he envisioned.
      The power of Greed had shown its ugly face in so many ways, we forgot that we were even looking at it to begin with.
      When the world had started to burn and drown itself, nobody had decided enough was enough.
      When Biden had started the Ukraine war, nobody batted an eye. When BLM and MeToo started, everyone knew how it would end: as a terrible tragedy for everyone involved.
      People learned what being toxic and cancel culture is. Corporations have been getting away with the moral equivalence of genocide even into the future because it won’t be addressed until the damage is done.
      Canada has now become the new Russia under Trudeau after Trump left the office and Biden becomes faced with his own creation in Ukraine.
      UA-cam, social media, Roblox and Netflix all dig their own graves. People forgot and still forget what it means to be themselves.
      The Pandemic revealed worldwide corruption from governments and private industry that manufactured vaccines.
      Slavery is still alive today, but it comes in forms we can even find in Canada. Racism still lives on strong throughout the world.
      We haven’t cured the social problems caused by modern day smart phones. We also fail to act on the information that is found about it.
      Social stigmatization is something that sociologists and psychologists around the world need to fight but haven’t done yet.
      Poorly raised children are growing up to become more than just a menace to society, but a menace to the world.
      These are just some of the most pressing issues that have come since and before Obama took power.

The seventies continued to fuel our decline with Watergate, the Iranian hostage crisis, the rise of terrorism, Japan's rise to economic dominance, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. We were impotent, a paper tiger so I heard, a shadow of our former selves. Except we weren't. The predictions were wrong then, and I think they might be just as wrong now.

A man who fought for what his people needed and didn’t hurt others in the process is one who deserves respect and recognition throughout the ages.

I stand with my late grandmother, a white Protestant swedish woman. She adored Michael, and so do I. She adored the brave souls who fought back against oppression at stonewall in 69, and so do I.

    I heard an interview from the 90’s of a veteran who was on the USS Augusta when Truman decided to drop the bomb. He said that Truman sat down next to him, talked a bit about where the sailor was from, and weeped over his decision to drop the bomb. He did say it had to be done but agonized over the decision.

      The US had to use a nuclear bomb on thousands of innocent civilians? Turning them to dust and leaving even more in agonizing torture? I doubt those poor souls would agree. We watched the evil destruction we wrought and did it a second time.
      I don't see it that way.
      It is hard as an American to take watching our state department claiming the high ground against Russia for its current actions, knowing what we did in 1945. Not to mention the countless, senseless deaths we have caused the last 30 years.

He seems so historical, so monumental in black and white, but in color, it makes him seem so real.
