"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."
That was a very inspirational quote by the one and only MLK (Martin Luther King Jr.) For a very, very long time people have judged other people by their skin color. Many people think about our actions before we do them, yet some of us don't. If you're about to call an African-American the N word, stop and think about what you are doing. Try to put yourself in that person's shoes. Think about what you're saying and how it will affect other people.
Ever since I can remember, I have hated people who judged someone on how they looked or by their skin color. Judging someone on their clothes or how their hair looks is just flat out rude. But to judge someone on the color of their skin? That DISGUSTS me! They cannot change what color of the skin they were born with. I cannot even describe how upset I get when I see or hear about people doing this.
In the 1960's, there were people who went to go sit at a restaurant to just eat. The people who were working at the restaurant would say "I cannot serve you." And then one of the diners would say, "Well, why not?" And then the white restaurant workers would say "Because you are black."
Is it just me or does something need to be changed. Even if a protester is white protesting with an african american he still might not get served. And he may ask "why?" but they will just say "because you are with them." If I saw people getting spat on and kicked and yelled at, I would sit down with them.
Because I to have a dream that one day EVERYBODY WILL BE EQUAL I will actually collapse trying to change this because I am sick of this happening to people who can't do anything about it. Who just sit there and take all that stuff that was said about them. But I will NOT be one of those people who sit and take it and believe that about them selves. I will stand up and make a change
Because I to have a dream as well as dr. king who died trying to change society I also believe that this NEEDS TO STOP...
