So it's Black History Month. I am black and Kat is mixed. So yeah we have African - American roots. So we had a program at school... As all schools have or they should. I wonder what a school with all white people do?????? That's not important though. So we had a program which I am gonna call a church fest cause that is what it was. It's like people say Black History and all they wanna think about is going to church and people praying and stuff. Um... What about Beyonce or Lil' Wayne or Alicia Keys or just something other than straight gospel music. I'm not saying it wasn't good but good god almighty. Seriously they could have sung something other than gospel music. Yes it is a big part but it also helped to add to the other African - American singers that are out there. I liked two things though. One we had this person speak and it was funny and awesome and he was around our age so he was going through the same thing as us and he told it like it is. And then there is this dude who can SING! I mean sing. Yes he sings gospel songs but god his voice is awesome and whenever I hear him he makes me want to break down and praise The Lord and give myself up to Jesus and I am not really religious. Seriously... Like he isn't cute or anything but I would do anything to have him sing to me in the morning and night... I am gonna record his a** and make it my alarm and ringtone. This boy can sing. So yeah it had good things but people always go back to the same people. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Madame CJ Walker, Aretha Franklin, and just people you have heard over and over again. But guess what there is so much more than just them. Yes they did an amazing job as leaders but there were so many small people that never get appreciated and it's kind of messed up. So I am here to say THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT BY GIVING YOUR LIVES, TIME, SUPPORT, OR WHATEVER YOU HAD TO DO TO MAKE HELP ME BE FREE TO DO WHATEVER I WANT AND ACCOMPLISH MY DREAMS!
Free at last! Free at last! Thank You! I am free at last! (Yes I know that isn't how it goes...)
Black Power B*tches!
