Tomorrow, January 1st, will mark the passage of 150 years since Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. A lot has happened in that time, some good, some bad, but we all have the same goals in life as humans, as we walk/run/toil/crawl on our journey, and that is to create a better world for our children, and to have our basic needs of food, shelter, and sex met. I can personally say that I respect every single person I meet until they give me reason to do otherwise, and I went to college for 8 years and many of my university professors were black. The president of my university is black. The president of this great nation is black. And 150 years is not that long of a time really in the grand historical record so what I wanted to say was that I think we have come a long way, though there is still much more to do. I thank all of those people, black and white, who came before us and helped us on our journey.
Peace and love to all in the coming year...

Just wanted to say I like you and BlkSteele's posts. Very very intelligent and insightful.
