I'm a Yankee Texan minus the Texas dialect. While I'm conservative, I believe humanity reaches past political parties, ethnicity, and religion and embraces all of mankind.
For generations the mention of Blacks, in context to the Bible, has been painted as a cursed and inferior people. However, the Bible reveals a very different image of the descendents of Ham. In this speech, Mel uses familiar scriptures that shows how those of Hamitic lineage are not only a great people, but the lineage of Jesus is full of Ham's descendants.

While watching Tyler Perry's recent 8:46 video and hearing him repeat the word "daybreak" I was reminded of a poem I was introduced to in high school, Langston Hughes' Daybreak in Alabama.

A recent speech given during this time of celebrating the contributions of blacks in American history. Most people are unaware that the birth of America was made possible in part to many non-European colonial inhabitants of America. Many blacks, and also native Americans, fought for the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War, were wealthy businesses owners, great scientist and inventors...and so much more.

Every now and then we need to just stop and thank a teacher for the work they do to help us be who we are. Teachers matter!

This 2016 election has turned into a joke for the GOP, and the GOP is greatly to blame for not dealing with things sooner. It has become kid's play.
Black Republicans can not be placed in a box. We are independent thinkers...sometimes we disagree with the party and sometimes we disagree amongst ourselves.
For the past few years there has been a growing controversy about the celebration of Black History. For some, it is becoming a despised or even hated phrase. But why?
Is the Oscars racist because it is not honoring any Blacks this year, or because it lacks diversity of all ethnic groups? If there is injustice it can't only be about Blacks, but must include others who may also be overlooked. And what about Black or Hispanic award shows...?
Why do American's have such dirty mouths? I noticed on the return to the States how much Amerericans curse, even in the graceful South.
How does the word "race" shape our thinking when it comes to ethnic relations? Do we still hold a primitive view of the diversity of humanity? Do we subconsciously hold on to the ancient view and thinking of "races".
One of the most important holiday's in America has been lost due to the greed of retailers and consumers. Thanksgiving is all about being thankfull and enjoying family and friends.
Does America have a responsibility to the refugees coming from Syria and other Islamic dominated countries? Are the concerns of many Americans legitimate?
