Actually you are right.. it is a story about literally a lifetime, allbeit a young life, of struggles to convince this 15 yr old boy that his dad and I are trying to make a good MAN believe that color doesn't matter, that race doesn't matter, status doesn't matter, nothing matters but the core of the individual you are faced with right in front of you. It doesn't matter about ANY of this, if you want something bad enough, you set your goals to do what it takes to get it done and STILL remain a respected individual.
I don't raise me no pussies, but I don't raise me no bullies either. lol
Having Obama as President gives HIM and kids like him hope, which sadly has been missing from a great deal of people these days. And not even so much a race thing, but he pulled himself out of a lifetime of struggles, financially and other areas to be the man he is, and if that teaches these kids in those positions anything, it should teach them that ANYONE can do anything if they want it bad enough. THAT is my whole point......
Basically, let no one tell you that you can't do anything because of race, status, religion or otherwise.... do what you do and do it well.
Who was the last "role model" we had? Bush? Oh honey please.. with a role model like that, no wonder there is so much hate these days... look at our leader and the hatred and anger HE possesses, yeah, I want THAT as a role model for my children. lol |
