With the celebration of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday coming up on the 16th I believe that we still have a long way to go 44 years after his death. Believe it that all is not smooth in the relations of people of colored and those who are not. It kind of supported my thinking that change is slow simple look at the fact that a landlord in Ohio placed a sign on her pool which read “Public Swimming Pool, White Only”. This all came to a head when a white resident invited his biracial 10 year old daughter to swim at the pool at his complex. In protecting his child he moved out without addressing the issue – I my opinion he should have made the landlord of the issue. Yes racism lives I believe it may change but dislike will all ways bloom when people do not understand the differences in others. Yes we all are created equal but are not cookie cutter exact learn to appreciate the differences that make us all individuals.
