In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the ***** people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."

Sorry, it's a statement of what God gave you, not what the Government guarantees you...
WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that
all Men are created equal, that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit
of Happiness—That to secure these Rights,
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just Powers from the Consent of the
Governed, that whenever any Form of Government
becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the
Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to
institute new Government, laying its Foundation
on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in
such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their Safety and Happiness.
If you fail to follow up with what God gave you...who's fault is that???

Maybe if the blacks would set the crack pipe down and act human when they apply for a job they would find life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I spent time in prison for DWI and I know what I'm talking about.
And one more thing? Pull yer pants up! Tired of lookin at yer dumb ***.

THERE ARE MANY BLACK MEN IN SPORTS TODAY THAT ARE MULTI MILLIONAIRES.
TIGER WOODS, MAGIC JOHNSON, LOOK AT THE BASKETBALL PLAYERS, FOOTBALL PLAYERS, LOOK AT THE SISTERS THAT PLAY TENNIS.
I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE BLACK PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CHEATED OUT OF MUCH.
LOOK AT OPRAH, AND NOW OBAMA WHO IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. SIDNEY POITERY, AND THOSE IN CONGRESS REPRESENTING THEIR RACE SUCH AS CHARLIE RANGEL, REV. SHARPTON, AND THE RAINBOW COALITION GROUP. DON'T FORGET BARBARA WATERS.
IT DOESN' T LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE INSUFFICIENT FUNDS.
I THINK THEY COULD ALL DO MORE FOR EACH OTHER.
ITS LIKE BILL COSBY SAID, GET UP AND GO TO WORK. THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE.
