On this day set aside to remember a man who called for equal rights it is note worthy to ponder his namesake Martin Luther.
I’ll leave the meat of that to be googled by anyone who might believe that civil rights are for all Americans and that all should embrace that notion.
To go even further into irony, the German home to Martin Luther used the American civil rights theme and music to help overthrow the Russians from East Germany when it reunited.
But in keeping with the story at hand, Obama is no more black than he is white. He is no more white than he is black, so how, pray tell dear fellow Americans can it be of any consequence at all other than more pandering that distorts the issues?
If one is able to use a land mass to declare a race or a religion, then I shall forever more be known as an Christian American-American. But that’s more about pride than pandering…..
Next time you read your Bible, thank Martin Luther. The next time you hear OUR civil rights honoring day used as a race issue, remind them that thanks, in part, to great men like Martin Luther King, it’s a day for all Americans and to stop pandering. ( it’s a responsibility that goes with those rights.)
If one needs to feel special, then let being part of this great nation warm your heart everyday.
