Proud To Be Considered Black

To everyone who acknowledges it, Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day. With his ideas of non-violent protests and righteous devotion, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. paved the way for many of the race less freedoms that black people enjoy today. I am half white and half black, but in the eyes of a politically correct society I'm black. I carry that label proudly, in hopes to one day contribute to the advancement of African American culture through higher education and a knowledgeable career. However, race is still an issue in many places throughout the world. It would be naive of me to think that racial divides don't still exist today. Gangs, hatred and violence still plague our country with race being the pillar of reasoning behind them. Without an intellectual approach to racial issues, progress in this department will be close to nil. Join many people in having an unbiased voice in racial issues so that we can continue treating men, women and children as equals.
