Martin Luther King Jr./Obama Weekend

How many people have heard the term: A picture is worth a thousand words? (don't raise your hands all at once). Everybody, well I figured that. So just take a look at the two pictures above my comparatively meaningless text and tell me what you think, and what you feel. White America just had it coming. They killed MLK Jr., they shot down Diallo and Bell, and they pursued O.J as if he wore a turban and engineered 9/11 (by the way, where is that guy, won't be surprised to see him at the inauguration, not like anybody's looking for him), did they really think that 40 years later we weren't gonna stick it to the man? Did they really think they would get away with centuries of oppressive, decieving idiots just looking to be the next face of a dollar bill? God has a conscience too, which is why for the first time in the history of...well...history, on Tuesday January 20th (incidentally the day consecutively AFTER the late great Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday) Barack Obama will be sworn in as our nation's 44th Commander in Cheif, our 44th president, the first intelligent one in like, forever. I'll be there, and if i can' get my camera to work, i'll be blowing my phone up with pictures, videos, everything. This isn't just, Will Smith being the first black rapper to win anything at the Grammy's, this isn't Jay-Z running Def Jam, this isn't even Ben Carson running the neurological program at Johns Hopkins U. Hospital (as big as that was and is). This is every whiplash, every child born as a result of a raped slave, this is for every unnecessary shooting, every dog set upon a colored person, this is for every segregated water fountain, every segregated school, every juror who voted against the Brown v Board of Education verdict. This is for every ridiculous arrest, this is for Amadou, Sean, and Rodney, and all the other victims we just haven't heard about, this is for James Davis, this is for Rosa Parks, this is for Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth, this is for the poor woman that Thomas Jefferson raped into oblivion, this is for the Harlem Hellfighters, and the rest of the frontline at the Civil War, this is for the Native Americans, the Historically Black Colleges, and Mount Holyoke.

This is for every and anyone who did anything significant (yes, even you Young Jeezy) in the name of the advancement of Obama and the equality cause.

Listen to the entire song actually: Letter to the King--The Game (featuring Nas)--L.A.X
It's powerful, controversial but powerful.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words,
I'll end this post at about, 479.
