Honorable Marion Barry,

Whites see him as a troublemaker and drug addict! Black Americans and I see him as a Black American champion.

Whites see Elvis Presley as something to be valued. Black Americans and I see him as a drug addict.

Simply speaking because Black Americans and White Americans are two different people we see the same thing differently and it will always be that way even after Black Americans become a sovereign people in a country of our own!

What a wonderful Home Going for Honorable Marion Barry. I cried! When such men; Dr. King and Elijah Muhammad leave us such men leave a hole in my heart! These are the iconic Black American men that in essence want for Black Americans exactly the same thing that I want for Black Americans, but I am our first genuine prophet and they weren't.
