OK, we all know i stopped blogging for awhile to get out in the world handle real business for a bit. but i couldn't stay away from how emotional this made me. Is it that we as African Americans just don't matter to the people in control or is it that we are seen as such a comical race over efforts are seen as nothing more then comedy to the rest? Yes we live and have lived in the great luxury of freedoms whether it be freedom of press or freedom to live the"American dream" but these freedoms weren't always available. People had to die lose their lively hoods and all the things that a person would consider a part of who they are. Now in 2009 a year most would hope to be filled with change i see a major step in the wrong direction when i come across this.
It was stated that the use of the monkey had no racial reference to the president but even so where does the common knowledge of what once was a everyday use of racist and sympathy come into play in peoples hearts? We are all given one life but in my opinion stuff like this just makes it hard to live or rather live peacefully.
