Do you believe Dr. Kings dream is alive today?

http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2008/black.in.america/index.b.html

yes i do, because i believe in this dream!

I still believe! Oh God Almighty, I still believe!

here it is, the hopefully soon to be famous speech by moi!

I still believe! Oh God Almighty, I still believe!

I believe God does everything for a reason.
I believe there’s a reason I am here.
There’s a reason God put me on this Earth.
There’s a reason God put you on this Earth too.
But I believe I have found the reason I am here.
I believe here is the reason God put me on this Earth.

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.

The “I have a dream” speech by Martin Luther King Jr. is about 40 years old!

And yet, the dream still hasn’t come!
Even though we think it did…

We still judge people by how they look on the outside,
and we don’t take time to get to know them on the inside.
I don’t think it’s fair. I really don’t think it fair.
There’s so much more to a person than what they look like.
There’s intelligence and wisdom.
There’s kindness and there’s personality.

But people become so blind and they can’t look past the looks.
And if they look good, we tend to associate them with a good personality. I mean it is sometimes true, but most of the time it isn’t.

And there IS still so much racism in the world today…
and discrimination and prejudice too!

The only reason: We already have this image set in our heads of what they would be like if we ever talked to them because, God forbid, getting to know them past their looks is a sin, right?

But I have the same dream!
Martin Luther King’s dream.
The dream he introduced to us forty years ago.
The dream of hope and equality.
The dream that was fought against the Jim Crow laws.

But that same dream, even after all his hard work and all that time between then and now, still hasn’t come.

After three hundred and sixty years, we still have same stereotypes.
After three hundred and sixty years, we still have same prejudices.
After three hundred and sixty years, we still discriminate against people.
After three hundred and sixty years, some people even support it.
After three hundred and sixty years, we still use violence to get the word out.
After three hundred and sixty years, we still hate the people who are not like us.
And after three hund and sixty years, we still haven’t made much progress.

And we think racism just disappeared because nobody talks about it anymore.

I still believe in this dream!
I still believe we can achieve this dream!
I still believe! Oh God Almighty! I still believe!

Yes! I have the same dream, the same dream of hope, the light at the end of the tunnel! And yes I too also see it! Dr. King saw it fifty years ago, and I see it too!
Yes! I have the same dream, the same dream of true equality, where everyone, and i mean everyone around the world, is treated in the same way, no one lesser, no one better!
And yes! I have the same dream, the same dream of our true liberties, where we have all of our liberties and they are not taken away from us!
Yes! I have the same dream, the same of honesty, a day when saying the truth and fighting for your rights and your true liberties will be rewarded, not punished.

Oh! But I still believe in the dream! One must have faith in humankind! I still do!

Yes! I have the same dream that one day all the people around the world would come together as one species, as one human race, and we would not be judged whether we are African, Asian, Indian, or Muslim,
A day when white and black are considered the same,
A day when African and Indian are considered the same,
A day when Muslim and Asian are considered the same!

Yes! I have the same dream that one day we will see that we are all the same in the eyes of God and no one superior,
A day when we stop categorizing people into groups,
A day when we know we are all different and learn embrace and celebrate those differences
A day when all the anger in world will be gone,
A day when we see that there’s no right religion or right color of skin or right way to look beautiful,
A day when one day when we find out that beauty is in everyone,
A day when one day we won’t have to look for it.

Oh I still believe! Oh God Almighty! I still believe!

Yes! I have the same dream that one day, people will learn and to listen to each other and teach each other to listen with all their hearts,
A day when we will learn to speak and teach each other to speak with all their hearts,
A day when one day we the people won’t be weakened or destroyed by our concept of race but be strengthened by the concept of listening with our hearts!
A day when we won’t be weaken by the facts that our eyes say, but be strengthened by listening to our hearts
A day when we will finally abandon what our eyes say.
A day when we use of eyes to find good in all people.

I have the same dream that one day we the people will not categorize ourselves into “races” and people will see who the others really are,
A day when the saying, “The eyes are the window to the soul.” would be on everyone’s lips,
A day when people will look into each other eyes and truly see their soul.
A day when love is taught and to hate someone is be punished,
A day when there’s no concept of racism and the concept of identifying against,
A day when the miracle of hope is present in every heart and mind
A day when we have time and take the time to get to know each other

I still believe in the dream! One must have faith in humankind! Oh I still believe!

I still have the same dream that one day people will abandon stereotypes and not act on their prejudices and not support the discrimination,
A day when we will be respected for who they are and not hated because we dont support who the other people support,
A day when discrimination will be truly punished and put to jail for,
A day when true hope will shine in the hearts of little children,
A day when they are and we are truly happy to be who we are,
A day when we abandon all the anger and hate
A day when we know that these stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination will only lead us to go round and round in a vicious cycle.

Oh I still believe in the dream! Yes! I do believe!

I have the same dream that one day we will finally see that race is not based on the biological aspects,
A day when we finally see that race is a social concept
A day when we finally abandon it, and see each other for the way we truly are.
A day we won’t be too busy fighting to see the real problem on the earth.

But I have the same dream that one day people will not be judged by the clothes they wear or how fat or skinny we are or how much make up we put on,
A day when we are all considered beautiful in our own way because everyone is different,
A day when the outside will not become a barrier to look what is really inside the person,
A day when a person will show true happiness inside and outside.

Oh yes! God Almighty! I still believe!

I have the same dream that one day we will all teach our children to love all “races” and teach them to love themselves too,
A day when we teach our children that you dont have to look skinny to be beautiful,
A day when we don’t teach our children the poison of hate of the “others” and the hate toward their bodies,
A day when our children could be truly free to express themselves without being judged by their friends or classmates
A day when we teach our children that they dont have to fit in or be popular to be themselves, or to be liked by other people,
A day when people will see that standing out is not the worse thing in the world,
A day when we wont conform with people, even though we know they are wrong,
A day when there’s no jocks, and cheerleader, and punk, and goths, but there will be just children in our school,

I have the same dream that one day people will see though other people and look past that other people are different from them,
A day when we are not consumed in what a person looks like,
A day when we still have hope for people,
A day when we see something wrong being done, we do something about it,
A day when we stand up for what we believe is right,
A day when we say that we are sad, we truly mean and when we say that we are happy, we truly mean it.

Oh yes! God Almighty! I still believe!

I have the same dream that one day we will teach our children that you don’t have to look a certain way to be beautiful and that the word “hot” really doesn’t biologically exist,
A day when people will judge other people and other people judge us by the character they and we have,
A day when people will realize that we are flawed and we can’t be perfected, no matter how hard we try,
A day when we realize we don’t need to be perfected,
A day when people won’t be so blind to the media!

I have the same dream that one day we will all finally break free from these chains, break free from the chains of discrimination, break free from the chains of prejudice, break free from the chains of the hatred and anger that is in this world right now.

I have a dream that one day we will get to understand why God made the world the way he did!

And that will be the day when people are going to be truly happy and the people won’t be so blind anymore.

One must have faith in humankind! And oh! I still believe!

Where’s the love?

I love this song so much!

Not because it shows some of the bad stuff we do to ourselves

But it shows that some people still have faith in humankind

After all the things we do to ourselves

And we need it, so bad.

I know I still have faith!

 

Where’s the love?

By Black Eyed Peas ft. Justin Timberlake

 

What’s wrong with the world, mama?
People livin’ like they ain’t got no mamas

 

 

I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that’ll bring you trauma
(because it makes life interesting,

as long as its not happening to u)

Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin’
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
(shows that the US is a big hippocrit)

 

But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you’re bound to get irate, yeah
(i love this part so much)

 

Madness is what you demonstrate
And that’s exactly how anger works and operates
(the media does show “madness,”

and so we get mad at each other) 

 

Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate

Let your soul gravitate to the love, y’all,

People killin’, people dyin’
Children hurt and you hear them cryin’
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek?
(probably not the US)

 

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above

(he did already, God did send guidance,

Hundreds of years ago)
‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’
Where is the love?

(Love)

Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love,
The love, the love?

It just ain’t the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane?

 

 

If love and peace is so strong,
Why are there pieces of love that don’t belong ?

 

 

Nations droppin’ bombs
Chemical gasses fillin’ lungs of little ones
With ongoin’ sufferin’ as the youth die young

 

 

So ask yourself, is the lovin’ really gone?

So I could ask myself, really what is goin’ wrong?

 

 

In this world that we livin’ in people keep on givin’ in
Makin’ wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
(hmmm, I wonder who is he talking about here)

Not respectin’ each other, deny thy brother

(Respect is a big thing for me)

 

 

A war is goin’ on, but the reason’s undercover
The truth is kept secret, it’s swept under the rug
(so you have to look for and find the truth,

Instead of the media giving it to u)

 

If you never know truth, then you never know love
(this line is so true)

 

Where’s the love, y’all? come on (I don’t know)
Where’s the truth, y’all? come on (I don’t know)
(its hidden, its invisible, but its there)

 

Where’s the love, y’all?

People killin’, people dyin’
Children hurt and you hear them cryin’
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’
Where is the love? (Love)

Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love,
The love, the love?

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I’m gettin’ older, y’all, people gets colder
( that’s why I look for the people who smile at me,

 

It usually means that they are warm)

 

Most of us only care about money makin’
Selfishness got us followin’ our wrong direction
( I believe this is going to be our downfall)

 

Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
(show me the wrong information, now)

 

Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
(now the childrean believe the wrong information,

and would act on the wrong information)

 

Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema

 

 

Yo’, whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality

 

 

Instead in spreading love, we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading years away from unity
(the ignorance among people is something bad,

and the lack of understanding will keep us apart)

 

That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feelin’ under
That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feelin’ down
There’s no wonder why sometimes I’m feelin’ under

 

 

Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
(people must have faith in humankind

I know I still do)

People killin’, people dyin’
Children hurt and you hear them cryin’
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’
Where is the love? (Love)

Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love? (The love)

 

Oh! God Almighty! I still believe!

I believe God does everything for a reason.
I believe there’s a reason I am here.
There’s a reason God put me on this Earth.
There’s a reason God put you on this Earth too.
But I believe I have found the reason I am here.
I believe here is the reason God put me on this Earth.
