Commentary:

There was once a man who thought that men should be free to pursue eternal truth; his name was Socrates and he was forced to drink poison. There was once  a man who taught that we should love others as we love ourselves; his name was Jesus and he was crucified. And there once was a man who thought that we should not judge others by their color but by their character; his name was Martin Luther King and he was shot. Maybe one day we will start to listen to great men like these instead of killing them.

Racism is just a form of divide and conquer that failing governments use to keep us fighting amongst each other and not against them.  Let's resolve to guard against the cynical and self-serving political leaders who would seek to divide us in anyway.  We are must remain united as Americans of all colors, creeds and political ideologies.
