COMMENTARY:
As this most prestigious holiday approaches once more there may be ways you have in remembering the King. All across the country it's probable you may hear the ringing in recordings of his voices making radio and television waves echo over ever listening ears. Many will celebrate with memoriable gatherings at churches and in organizational meeting. Some will visit Washington to see the large statue built in his honor and some will not care to meditate on the King's attributes at all. How can you remember the civil rights leader is totally up to your own way. The impact of such a gifted leader however, won't be overlooked or kept in shadows of misty dreams but have made remembering to millions as a day of a solider for humankind.

"A drum major...whose drums still sound."

I just discussing this day with another person--who said that the day will be a day to celebrate in something positive. Going over the history and the impact of Dr. King and allowing imput for her grandchildren to be a education and teaching day as well. I find that a wonderful start.

I assume that we all know why Dr. King protested am I right.

We know that Dr. King lived and triumph in the ‘60’s. We know why and how Dr. King became a civil right’s activist. Why he became a civil right’s activist is because of how cruel and inhuman White America as a country were treating Black Americans, White America’s once former plantation slaves.
I know that Dr. King’s goal was sovereignty and a country for Black Americans from his very last speech when he said that God had allowed him to go to the mountain top and when he looked over he saw us in the promise land. He said that he may not get there with us, but we as a people will get to the promise land am I right.

My question to you all is this. Had Dr. King achieved his goal before his assassination? The answer is no!
So, who benefited from Dr. King’s sacrifices? In all actions one side will benefit and the other side will not. It was White Americans that benefited from Dr. King’s sacrifices. His sacrifices made White Americans a morally better people today and that is fine with me, but Black Americans are still a suffering people.

My second question is this. Could Dr. King ever achieve his goal had he lived? Could Elijah Muhammad have achieved his goal since both goals were similar in nature? The answer is no!

Since White America can not reverse or rectify their greatest sin of making a people to be their slaves for hundreds of years than no ordinary Black American man can reverse or rectify White America’s greatest sin of slavery. This Black American man that can make this right and lead Black Americans to sovereignty must possess the Spirit of God as Moses did.
In such a situation as ours God must be involve and when God is involve than the people must have a genuine prophet that God can communicate through to the people and that prophet must be the same race as the people are.

Our situation is more intents than the Children of Israel and just letting the Children of Israel physically go is not enough. Likewise, even if White America would suddenly decide to give us the territory I out lined to go to it is still not enough. We still would need God and our prophet to up-grade our serve ignorance spanning over a period of 500 years. The Ten Commandments was the first significant sign of the Israelite ignorance being up-graded.

Dr. King and Elijah could never have achieved their hearts desire because God did not anoint them. They went in directions and did things that had nothing to with permanently resolving Black America’s problems and that is why we are still protesting.
So, why do we still focus on these men who failed us even though their intentions were honorable and not our prophet who can achieve what these iconic leaders couldn’t?
