Why is it that a Black Man can create a tiny piece called a filament (electric light - Lewis Latimer)
that allows people to see in the dark?
cid:1.2611114376@web120504.mail.ne1.yahoo.com
But can't be seen fit to lead a country to the true light.
Why is it that a Black Man can create an instrument (clock - Benjamin Banneker) that all people use to tell time?
cid:2.2611114376@web120504.mail.ne1.yahoo.com
But people don't think it is time for him to run a country.
Why is it that a Black Man can design a place for the high authorities to meet in and a place for the
president to live in (The Capital and the White House Phillip Reid (a slave) and Pierre L'Enfant)?
cid:3.2611114376@web120504.mail.ne1.yahoo.com cid:4.2611114376@web120504.mail.ne1.yahoo.com
But not good enough to lead these meetings or live in himself.
W hy is it that a Black Man was brilliant enough to do the first open heart surgery (Dr. Daniel Hale Williams)
and show the world how to get and preserve plasma (Dr. Charles Drew)?
cid:5.2611114376@web120504.mail.ne1.yahoo.com cid:6.2611114376@web120504.mail.ne1.yahoo.com
But not good enough to put a program in place where everyone can afford this surgery.
Why is it that a Black Man was creative enough to design an instrument (traffic light - Garrett Morgan)
to bring multiple people (traffic) to a halt?
cid:7.2611114376@web120504.mail.ne1.yahoo.com
But not seen creative enough to design a plan to bring all this unnecessary and worthless fighting
between countries, to an end.
Why is it that a Black Man could create the soles (shoes - Jan Matzeliger) that people walk on every day?
cid:8.2611114376@web120504.mail.ne1.yahoo.com
But not seen good enough to fill the shoes of a bad president.
Why is it that a Black Man was smart enough and brave enough to teach himself (Fredrick Douglas
and Thomas Fuller - both slaves) and others how to read, write and/or calculate math?
cid:9.2611114376@web120504.mail.ne1.yahoo.com
But not seen smart enough and bold enough to calculate a platform to be President to a
country that sure needs another first by us.
So you see my Brothers and Sisters, what I am saying is, let us not forgot our past which led us to our
present and can definitely be the backbone to our future. We were good enough, smart enough,
creative enough, and bold enough then, so let us all give Obama the chance to show that we are still
these things and more. We all are as strong as our weakest link, so do not be that weak link that denies
our people that chance to show we still can OVERCOME AND BE THE FIRST!
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !
cid:10.2611114376@web120504.mail.ne1.yahoo.com
LET US ALL CONTINUE PRAYING THAT THIS PRESIDENT WILL ADHERE TO AND BE LED BY FAITH.
PASS THIS ON!
