IT IS HOPE THAT FIRST MRS. KING WOULD POLITELY BUT ADAMANTLY INSISIT THAT THE FACE AND DEMEANOR OF THE MEMORIAL WOULD AUTHENTICALLY RESEMBLE THE MAN THAT SHE LOVED, RESPECTED, AND HONORED. THEN IN A SPEECH IT IS BELIEVED THAT DR. KING WOULD ANSWER ALL OF HIS CONCERNS IN HIS ANOINTED WAY AS ONLY HE COULD:
PEOPLE, "SOMETHING IS WRONG," BECAUSE RECALL THE STATEMENT ABOUT WHATEVER JOB YOU DO, PERFORM THE TASK WITH THE COMPETENCE OF HAVING A POSSESSION OF AN INNATE GIFT FROM WHAT IS GREATER THAN ONE'S SELF. SO IT SEEMS TO ME THAT "SOMETHING IS WRONG." IF ONE LOOKS AT AN IMAGE OF ONE'S SELF, AND HAVE TO SEEK TO FIND HIMSELF WITIHIN THE IMAGE, OR IF THE WORDS OF A GREAT MAN HAS TO BE CHANGED, THEN ONE WILL HAVE TO ALSO PONDER WHY WOULD OTHERS WANT TO MINIMIZE THE CHARACTER AND THE DEEDS OF SOMEONE THAT THEY ARE CLAIMING TO HONOR? BLACK AMERICA MUST REMEMBER FROM WHENCE WE COME, BECAUSE SEGREGATION CAN BE PRODUCED IN OTHER FORMS OF FASHION. IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF STANDING UP AGAINST THE WRONGS PROJECTED TOWARDS ONE'S OWN CULTURE AND UNCOMFORTABLE WITH PROLIFERATING YOUR OWN CULTURE INTO EMPOWERMENT, THEN "SOMETHING IS WRONG." MASTERS AND MISTERS/ JUDGES AND PROSECUTORS... THE PLANTATION/ THE JUSTICE SYSTEM...SLAVE AUCTION AND FREE OR CHEAP LABOR/ THE PRISON SYSTEM... UNEQUAL EDUCATION/ REVERSE DISCRIMINATION AND "LEAVE NO CHILD BEHIND..." jim crow/ negate the culture's images and words, FILL IN THE BLANKS AMERICA, BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH MORE OF DIRECT AND INDIRECT CLANDESTINE ACTS OF MINIMIZING THE DREAMS OF A VITAL PORTION OF AMERICANS. MINORITIES ARE DIFFERENT, AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO USE THE ACTUAL PROCLAIMED WORD BLACK MINORITY, THEN "NEGRO" MINORITY, NO OTHER CULTURE IS GOING TO EMPOWER THE BLACK CULTURE BETTER THAN THE BLACK CULTURE!!! IT IS IMPORTANT TO LOVE ALL MAN, BUT IT IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO LOVE SELF AND WANT THE BEST FOR SELF TOO. "SOMETHING IS WRONG," BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE IF YOU COULD NOT INSISIT THAT THE POWER AT BE CORRECT AND IMAGE TO MAKE IT REFLECT THE ART OF MICHAEL ANGELO, THEN SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG" !!! BLACK FOLK, IT'S MIS-EDUCATION TO ALLOW OTHERS TO CHANGE, MANIPULATE AND TELL THE HISTORY OF WHO YOU ARE, WHERE YOU COME FROM, AND LEAD YOUR GENERATIONS INTO THEIR IMAGES OF FUTURE BLACK EMPOWERMENT!!! (PLEASE EXCUSE ALL ERRORS!!!) P.S. WOULD DR. KING ACKNOWLEDGE THE COURAGE OF SUCH PAST AND PRESENT RAPPERS AS KANYE WEST/ COMMON/ TUPAC SHAKUR/ DMX("THEY DON'T KNOW WHO WE BE")/RUSSEL AND RUN SIMMONS/ WILL SMITH/ NWA/ PUBLIC ENEMY/ JADAKISS/ KRS-ONE/ MOS DEF/ SISTA SOLDIER/ QUEEN LATIFAH...) WAKE UP BLACK AMERICA... THE TRUTH KEEPS US FREE!!!
