Today is a day of on not off as I posted earlier. We get the day off at work, but since I work in IT, and no one is working; it’s a great time to patch our servers. After working on them, I am going to volunteer at a Refugee Vegetable Garden near my house. I learned of this event when we shared what we were going to do for Martin Luther King Day at work.
Dr. King kept reaching for that dream until someone took his life, but his dream lives on in you and me.
Will. I. Am.
If what I am is what’s in me
Then I’ll stay strong – that’s who I’ll be
And I will always be the best
“me” that I can be.
There’s only one me, I am it
Have a dream I’ll follow it
It’s up to me to try.
Oh! I’m a keep my head up high
Keep on reaching high
Never gonna quit
I’ll be getting stronger.
And nothing’s gonna bring me down (no!)
Never gonna stop, gotta go.
Because I know
I’ll keep getting stronger.
And what I am is thoughtful
What I am is musical
What I am is smart
And what I am is brave
What I am is helpful
What I am is special
There’s nothing I can’t achieve.
Because in myself I believe in oh…
Gonna keep our heads up high
Keep on reaching high
Never gonna quit
Just keep getting stronger.
And nothing’s gonna bring us down (no!)
Never give it up, gotta go.
Because I know
I’ll keep getting stronger.
What I am is super
What I am is proud
What I am is friendly
What I am is grouchy
What you are is magical
What you are is special
There’s nothing I can’t achieve.
Because in myself I believe in oh…
Gonna hold my head up high
Keep on reaching high
Never gonna stop
I’ll be getting stronger.
Nothing’s gonna bring me down (no!)
Never give it up gotta go, oh… yeah…
I’ll keep getting strong-er.

@Weenis This is really gross of you to find the King’s family “drunk uncle” on MLK holiday to defend a “man” who doesn’t give two craps about King or any people of color. Every family has a “drunk aunt or uncle”. Shame on you Weenis, Shame.
Here is what Bernice King, Martin’s daughter has to say about Trump.
Bernice King Says Trump’s Racist Comments Are ‘Troubling To Our Humanity’.
“My dad said, in the end we will not remember the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends, and this is not the time for silence of those who are truly friends of what is right.”
Be A King

@BerniceKing
I’m not surprised when I hear President Trump has said something else insulting [racist, bigoted, hateful] about a group of people or a nation of people. I’m more troubled by the silence from people who are supposed to be men and women of righteousness.

@Gina
How are his comments about craphole countries racist?
@Weenis
Hahaha.
Donald Trump is ***Such*** A Racist. I know. It Doesn’t Need to Be Said.
ROFL.
What idiots, lol, what a laughingstock. I will be laughing from now…till Kingdom Come. ROFL
You are funny, Weenis — or, wait? Are you not joking? Are you serious.
Oh. My poor little boy, ROFL.
This is not here to take away from your choice to raise awareness of this important day but I thought you would enjoy this if you haven’t seen it.

@spitfire3dc This was very inspiring. Thank you. Caroline’s youngest looks so much like her grandmother, Jackie. Have you seen the movie, LBJ yet? I haven’t, but I really want to.
The View dedicated their whole show to MLK Day yesterday. They had Congressman John Lewis, who worked side by side with Martin, and the newly elected mayor of Charlottesville Virginia, Nikuyah Walker. They did a really good job, and I had tears in my eyes throughout the show.
Racism is ENDING, I am so happy. Reading Wulff’s book, his incredibly beautiful expose of Adolph Hitler Trump, the Anti-Christ, ROFL. Him and the “Christian” right followers are finally getting their day as the frauds they are. And so, we will win! Yes.
@five2one Is it really worth the read, or shall we just sit back and listen to the pundits talk about it?
In regards to racism ending, well…we still have a long way to go. Trump has enabled us (made us) take the scab off and really dig into our issues…that’s the only thing I will thank him for.
@Gina Don’t worry, already did my homework, and have a plan.

@five2one Me too, and it’s happening November 6th! We are cleaning house! We are the grandchildren of the witches that they couldn’t burn!
@Gina nice
