Open Letter to the President: President Obama, all are not free!

                                                


"Because this is a country where everyone deserves the same freedom and opportunities to fulfill their dreams."
~Statement from President Barack Obama on the 41st anniversary of Roe v. Wade



Mr. President Barack Obama,

Those were your words on the 41st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, but that will not happen, will it Mr. President? Sure everyone deserves that right, but your support of the wholesale slaughter of the unborn doesn't help towards that goal does it? You have propped up, cheered on, and championed the right for women to kill their unborn, and hid behind the guise of "choice". Have you never thought about the fact that your own mother could have aborted you without a second thought? Or how about your wife? Does the fact that she could've aborted either one of your daughters, and not told you, her husband, a thing about it, mean nothing to you? How can you campaign on, and support a law that takes the very life of another human being, and still sleep well at night?

You speak of only the woman's body. But it is not her body she is aborting. It is her child's body. Her offspring she is killing. Her future she is losing. This country's future. 56 million and counting Mr. President. 56 million lives lost. 56 million families broken. 56 million legally killed because of our very own government. You are helping put mother against her own child. In the time it takes to read this post, hundreds of the unborn will have been killed.

You will soon be meeting with Pope Francis Mr. President. Are you going to avoid speaking about your support of abortion, or just focus on what you think will make you look good in the press? You proclaim you are a man of faith. Do you think God would tell you, "Well done. You have protected the least among you"? What have you done to save lives???

How will history judge us? I pray that all of humanity will one day see the truth of the horrors that is abortion. But until that day, I will continue to fight for the unborn! I will speak for those who are voiceless and defenseless, just as others fought for the freedom of my ancestors who were bound by the shackles of slavery...

Sincerely,

Open letter about the responsibility of today's men...


Open letter to "Bacon", a Return of Kings contributor:

I had the horrible misfortune of coming across the website called Return of Kings, and your post in particular titled, "How to convince a girl to get an abortion".  I'm guessing your name is in relation to implying that you are a pig. That would most definitely be appropriate.  I can only say that there is a special circle of hell for males like you, and those like you who write on this page. I will not give you the courtesy of calling you men. Women are referred to as cunts, hoes, sluts, and bitches. You all are a danger to other men who may follow you and your ilk, and a definite danger to women and their unborn children.

In one of your articles you talk about what alcoholic drink to ply a woman with to get her into bed. Do you not think of the legal ramifications of what could happen if that goes too far, and leads to pregnancy, or worse yet rape?  Oh that's right, that lovely article above will take care of that, right?   How about if the woman dies during the abortion, or if the baby survives the abortion?  Is their any responsibility then?

Great way to turn males into nothing more than serial sexual deviants, led by you!  Have you thought about a quirky article on how to talk their way out of a rape charge?  And how about those lovely STD's out there?  Do you give advice on what to do then? Should they just lop it off, and tell you thanks, because hey, it was fun at the time?

How many unborn babies will lose their lives because of what you posted?  How many women will be scarred for life, because she trusted that the person she was with would be a "MAN" and take care of his responsibilities?

Bacon, you have admitted to paying for the murder of two of your own children.  I pray that none of you others who write on this site have any children, and not because you paid to have it killed. However if you do have alive children, would you be ok with your sons treating a woman like what you so proudly push? Treating women like pieces of filth that are only good for your physical pleasure? Or how about your daughters?  How would you feel about some jerk treating your daughter like crap from the bottom of his shoe, then paying to kill your grandchild?  Would that make you feel like a good father?  Would that make you feel like a protector to your children? What good are you if the only way to feel better about yourselves is to condone this type of treatment to someone who has done nothing wrong, just had the misfortune of coming across your paths?  You are setting young men (especially college age) up for failure, not sexual heroes, known for their sexual prowess.

The only hope that I have is that it seems some of those that follow your page actually have morals and disagree with you.

You all are not men.  A real man will protect those whom he is putting into a vulnerable situation.  A real man will protect his unborn child, and the woman whom he impregnates, not drive her to the abortionist to pay to have his child murdered.  A real man will treat a woman the way they would want a young man to treat his own daughter.  A real man will teach his son to cherish her, and protect her, and not pit her against her child.

You are the nightmares that responsible parents should be warning their sons not to turn into, and make sure their daughters know how to avoid.

Sincerely,
Danielle Hollars

Open letter to the President of the United States




Mr. President Barack Obama,

As the leader of the free world I'm sure you are a very busy man, so I will try and make this brief.

I am a young mother of six beautiful children.  I am a Pro-Life wife, a devout Catholic, and an Army veteran.  I know you have very little respect for the opinions or values of pro-lifers like myself, and I'm sure that what I have to say will not move you in any way whatsoever towards the plight of the unborn.  However, since we still have free speech in America, I cannot stand by and say nothing.

For the first time in our history, a sitting president addressed Planned Parenthood.  I understand why you support an organization that makes its profit off of the murder of innocent babies.  They send you great sums of money for campaigns.  I am very disturbed by your "God Bless You" statement to them however.  God would never bless an organization that has been responsible for millions of deaths since Roe V. Wade.  You call yourself a Christian man, but support the wholesale slaughter of the weakest among us. I was dismayed by your statement to Planned Parenthood in 2008 stating that if your daughters became pregnant before they were ready, that you would view your grandchild as "punishment".  I became pregnant at 18 years old.  I was a scared Private still in Advanced Individual Training.  I was 19 when my daughter was born, and not once has my father called her punishment.  I have had 5 more children since then, and again no one in my family has called them punishment.

I noticed that you did not mention Kermit Gosnell in your speech, but he has carried out the very thing you supported while a Senator.  The Born Alive Infant Protection Act that would have protected the baby born alive from an abortion, you voted down, because it was the will of the mother that she wanted her baby dead.  I did not hear you give accolades to him, or others like him.  The horror of the Gosnell trial is happening many times over in this country, and yet you support an organization that recently admitted that it does not normally take measures to help a baby who survived an abortion attempt.

You have demonized those of us that believe a little baby has the RIGHT to see the light of day, the right to life, that punishing the baby is not the answer, and then tell us that we need to find common ground when it comes to abortion.  Mr. President, there is NO COMMON GROUND!!!  Your healthcare law will impugn the rights of the religious all over this country, and you have given us no respect to our faiths and beliefs.  Abortion is not healthcare!

You have supported an organization whose founder, Margaret Sanger, was an avowed racist and eugenicist.  An organization whose very focus was the depopulation of Black, Hispanic, poor, or disabled communities.  As the leader of our great nation you should want to help those mothers who feel driven to have an abortion, by telling them that they have help.  That there should be hope for their little baby, not death and destruction.

"If there is even one life we can save, we've got an obligation to try!"  Those were your words Mr. President when addressing gun violence.  Why do you berate and belittle those that feel the same way about the unborn?

You say God Bless You to them, but I hate to believe you mean that.  Jesus said, "Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such." (Matthew 19:14).  That should be our guidance, not the blood money from abortions!  I will pray for you Mr. President, that your heart will be softened to the cries of the unborn, and that you will have compassion for the torn lives of their parents.



Sincerely,
Mrs. Danielle Denise Hollars

There is a special circle in Hell waiting for Kermit Gosnell!


Warning: Graphic material


I am crying while typing this particular post.  I weep for the lives that have been lost. This post is in memory of all of the future generations that will never be...


Kermit Gosnell's name and the names of his wife and their staff should be taught to every man, woman, and child, because what they are accused of doing to these women during abortions, aside from killing their babies, is the definition of evil.

Abortionists claim that because the baby is in the womb that it is the woman's property. That those little babies have no right to ever see the light of day.  So what is so wrong with Kermit Gosnell?  What he did is legal if the baby was still partially in the womb.  And some of them were.  And the ones that would kick and cry on the tables, well... the mom wanted the baby dead right?  So why are people so disgusted and outraged now?

For years pro-lifers have talked about the slippery slope of abortion, and what would happen if you have unfettered abortions with no limits, performed by people who have no conscience.  Is it OK to kill an unborn child when the mom is 30 weeks pregnant?  Because the argument used to be that is was wrong once the baby is viable.  So that now moves it back to almost 22 weeks.  Then the argument was whether or not the baby could feel pain, and doctors have now determined that an unborn baby can feel pain as early as 20 weeks.  But let me ask a question.  If doctors determine that a baby can feel pain as early as let's say 10-14 weeks gestation, does it make it worse still?  Statistically that's when most abortions are performed.  Will you change your mind then?  Will you still support abortion knowing that the baby will be in agony?  You can look at an ultrasound and see the baby very active in utero at that gestation, so what is causing those movements?  Obviously the nervous system is working, so can the baby feel pain?  Most of those abortions are performed by aspiration extraction,  which means their little bodies are being ripped apart piece by piece.  But never mind that.

Moving back to Gosnell.  He is a murderer, and he doesn't care about the blood on his hands.  Those women were like cattle to him, and his wife and their staff reaped the rewards of murdering day in and day out.  Even on Sundays!!!  Those mom's wanted their babies dead, and he was the man to do it.  But wait, remember a great deal of those babies didn't die in utero.  When they had the misfortune of being born alive, this bastard and his associates especially Steven Massof, cut their spinal cords.



And for grins and giggles, Gosnell cut off some of their feet and kept them in jars:




Kermit Gosnell even laughed at how big some of the babies were.  He once joked that one particularly large aborted baby, "Could walk to the bus stop."



This is where "choice" has led us.  A mentality of, "Hey it's not a person!  It's my right!" Let's not forget, our dear leader President Barack Hussein Obama, supported the killing of babies that survived an abortion, because if the end result was that the mother wanted to end the pregnancy, to allow these babies to live if the mom said no, would possibly undermine Roe V .Wade.

This is pure evil.  Where the hell is the left-wing media, and the women's rights groups? Where are the democrats and even some republicans who hold positions of power?  Why hasn't the president said ONE WORD about these atrocities?



I'll tell you what most of them are doing, hiding.  They are hiding because this ass showed the ugly side of their lucrative business.  The other details are so too gruesome and numerous to put down, so you can read it here.  By the way, if you think this is the only time things like this have happened, it's not.  Just not all in the same place, and not to this extreme.  He got caught, and that is the only reason we are hearing about this.  And every damned employee at the Pennsylvania Department of Health who was responsible for over-site of these clinics needs to lose their jobs!  They hadn't stepped foot in that cesspool in a decades!  We were criticized here in Virginia for taking steps to make the abortion clinics here clean up their act, but I am proud that our state government took a stand and won! We cannot have another Kermit Gosnell!!!

This piece of crap became a millionaire off of the blood of innocent babies, and the fear of their mothers.  His lawyers are claiming racism, I am screaming for justice for his victims!!!

54 Million deaths, and counting...



Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.
~ President Barack Obama during his 2nd inaugural address January 21, 2013.

Too bad these words don't apply to the unborn. The number above is how many lives have been snuffed out because of legalized abortion through Roe v. Wade. This does not include the hundreds of mothers that have perished from said abortion. Click here to visit The Blackmun Wall. How can we as a "civilized society", turn a blind eye to the atrocities of this cruel procedure? Yesterday marked the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Society has placed the value of the unborn to be less than nothing. Not human. A clump of cells. Not alive until birth. We have not made enough progress to be one step closer to saying, "We are better than this!"

So how does Center for Reproductive Rights celebrate 40 years of death? With this garbage below:



How can a black man, whose own race is being wiped out at a faster rate than slavery even thought of, support a procedure who's founding principles within Planned Parenthood was the extinction of the "undesirables"?

We want to say how it is so horrible how many people died through communism in the last century. Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong. But point out how many have died through abortion in the last 40 years, and you're evil incarnate. Why? If abortion is such a benefit, such a "moral obligation", then why doesn't the left want to talk about that number? At their next rally, maybe they should have a banner made to hang above the stage that reads, "50+ million and counting!!!" Because nothing screams, "strong woman" like having the power to kill your unborn. Some women are proud of their abortion, or have had multiple abortions like it is birth control.

The woman below was there for her FIFTH ABORTION!!!
~It was taken at Orlando Women's Center on June 20, 2012. The girl in the pink dress happily posed at the killing place & said she hoped her picture would be put on Facebook. This young mom was there to get rid of her baby late in pregnancy, by labor & delivery (Partial Birth) abortion. She casually told John that this was her 5th abortion.~
We have put mother against her own flesh and blood for supposed convenience. Other women are at their weakest, because they feel hopeless, lost, scared. The man in her life is supposed to be there to protect and take care of her and their child, and instead, he's probably the main reason she feels the need to have an abortion. And as far as the argument of health of the mother in late term abortions... please tell me how having an abortion at 30 weeks is more beneficial than just delivering the baby by cesarean section. We know the baby can survive at that gestation. They can survive at 28, 26, 24, and 22 weeks gestation. I was a preemie. I weighed less than two pounds when I was born, and fought for my life for three months in the NICU at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. I was the first to survive at that gestation there. But according to pro-abortionists, I was not a human at that gestation, not alive, not a person. Aborting me at that gestation would have been perfectly fine by them because I was just a clump of cells.  That industry has since  perfected killing babies at that gestation, over the last 20 years. Partial birth abortion is the most barbaric atrocity committed against the most defenseless among us.

This story yesterday made me sick to my stomach. Cuomo is a typical liberal "Catholic". Hello Cardinal Dolan?!? Why hasn't he been excommunicated yet?!?

NY Dem Gov. Andrew Cuomo Pushing Bill Allowing Third-Trimester Abortions…

I am so disgusted by the attacks against those of us that fight for life. Like we are uncaring, and hateful. We are the ones who run Crisis Pregnancy Centers, Rachael's Vineyard, and Gabriel's Project. We are the ones who donate our time and treasure, to these centers, and shed many tears for the constant loss of life day after day, week after week, year after year, decade after decade. The evil of abortion is now good, and those of us that fight for life are bad. I have always said it was the people of faith that ended slavery, and it will be people of faith that end legalized abortion!

I am my parents miracle, and am very grateful that they saw me as such, and not as a burden to them. We need to change hearts and minds to show the mother, that there is hope, there is help, and that they CAN MAKE IT!

I commend CBS...

I know that sounds crazy, and people that know my political views will probably think I have lost my mind. But let me clarify: CBS stood their ground on a hot issue that plagues our nation and the world as a whole. As most of you have probably heard by now, CBS aired a commercial during the Super Bowl that Tim Tebow and his mother put together with the help of Focus on the Family. Tim Tebow won the Heisman Trophy in 2007, and has won two BCS championships. The rub: a TV commercial retelling of how this amazing football star came to be. While in the Philippines doing missionary work, a pregnant Pam Tebow became ill and the doctors told her she should abort her 5th child. Her response was absolutely not. After seeing the commercial, I think the pro-abortion side has shown what complete fools they have made of themselves.


This post has taken a while for me to put together, because I wanted to have enough material for you to view as a backdrop for where I'm coming from. Please go to the individual links to read the topics in more detail that way this doesn't scroll on forever.

Where have we come as a nation, and a human race as a whole where the unborn are deemed mere property, and if you want to defend those that cannot defend themselves, you are anti-woman, sexist, bigoted, or any other name pro-abortion advocates want to hurl at us? Me defending the unborn is no more preposterous, than me raising my right hand and swearing to defend this country against all enemies foreign and domestic. Or to speak out on the atrocities of slavery, (more on that in a moment). I am looked at as a radical because I state that the unborn should be able to see the light of day. To be able to smile at their mothers and fathers. To grow and do great things.

I have five beautiful children, and I sit at night and wonder what type of world are we leaving for them, where people say that the elderly, the unborn, the disabled; have no right to life because they might be an inconvenience to someone else. Here is one article that made my stomach turn that happened recently in my state of Virginia:

Mother won’t be charged in newborn baby’s death:

This story is beyond horrific, and the fact that some politicians won't touch the issue because it's too close to the issue of abortion is a cop-out. They are cowards if they look at this story and say it infringes on a women's right to abortion. I pray that this will never happen again in this nation where a baby can be born, be breathing, and still be killed by it's mother, and all because the baby is still attached by it's source of nourishment and life for nine months.

The next issue that really irks me is in the following story:


Atlanta Billboards Link Race, Abortion

What angers me the most about this article is the arrogance of Professor Beverly Guy-Sheftall, to say that, "Many black people don't know who Margaret Sanger is and could care less." While I agree that many Blacks may not know who Margaret Sanger is, I'll bet that if you told them her goal was the destruction of the Black and poor communities, they would be outraged. And add to that, that there was a company in their neighborhood that was responsible for so many of our brothers and sisters being snuffed out, and was began by a racist and eugenics enthusiast, they'd be screaming for the business to be shut down. Planned Parenthood wants to hide this little tidbit of their company's past, and unfortunately people have blinders on to what this group is all about. All you have to do is type her name in Google and learn the truth, and hear it from her own mouth.


The final story that I want to speak about has caused much outrage in the past week, but I will continue to support my view of this statement, muchto the chagrin of many that I know:


Black Pro-Life Leader Defends Congressman Trent Franks on Abortion-Slavery

How many more Black babies have to die before the Black community wakes up to this holocaust in the womb? Where are our Black leaders? The few that do speak up are shouted down by the likes of Jehmu Greene. Jehmu Greene, a prominent leader for abortion rights, is a Black woman who walks around like supporting abortion is the greatest achievement of her life. How sad; she should be lifting up her fellow sisters, and helping them keep their babies and help them see that they are proud and strong, not tell them that it is empowering to have the ability to kill their unborn child. It is infuriating that most Democrats talk about equal rights, but that never extends to the unborn, elderly, or the infirmed. The unborn are now treated like property, and have no say on whether they can make it out of the womb.


They are less than human. The are inferior. It's my body. It's my property. Mind your business. Sound familiar? The last time our nation made most of these arguments, Blacks were bound in chains, and being herded like cattle.


The unborn are not property. They are their own person. They can grow to do great things. How many doctors, lawyers, scientists, teachers, or even future presidents have been killed in the name of "choice"? Look at it this way: in the time it took you to read this post, an average of 30 babies have been killed...and that's just here in this country.


When will it end? When will we take their hands, not their lives? For the sake of humanity and our very souls, I hope soon this living nightmare will end.

I am furious...










(Damian's Baptism)


Hello all!!!
I am furious at lot of things that I will get to in a moment, but first let me say a few things about myself.



I am a devout Catholic, which I'm sure will tick off a lot of people to begin with, but that's ok I don't mind a friendly debate
Happy .

I am a pro-life homeschooling mom of 5 beautiful children (another sticky topic for some). I am an army brat who's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, mother, step-mother, and various other family members served before me (of course we're all brain-washed). Patriotism flows through every fiber of my being. I have raised my own hand to defend this country against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. I will speak on my military background in more depth another time. I have a wonderful husband whom I love dearly -we met while we were stationed in Korea - and has been by my side since 1999 (married in 2002), and oh! I'm also a Republican. Let's see, I also am an expert marksman (shooting firearms), and in case anyone missed it, I am Black.




With that being said, I do not apologize for who I am. I'm usually a happy go lucky person, and it takes a lot to anger me. The goings on over the last year has me peeved like I havn't been been since 9/11/01. I worked at Ft. Belvoir that fateful day, and remember vividly looking at my boss and saying we were under attack when the first plane hit, and was out the door shortly after the Pentagon was hit (I could see the smoke billowing off of the Pentagon while crossing the Woodrow Wilson bridge). I knew that day was a long time coming and that we would make them pay. As the months passed I was in full support of our government going into Afganistan, and hesitant about Iraq. I have always felt we should have tried Hussein as a war criminal with crimes against humanity, like we did Slobadan Milosevic. Waging everything on chemicals that could and were easily moved, was a mistake to me. However, now that we're there, we need to completely finish the job. People in Iraq should be able to walk the streets without fear, just as they can in Germany, or Italy.


OK, so to more recent events...when the Democratic Party put Pres. Obama's name in for president, my first reaction was, Who? I had never heard of him, so I started doing research, and what I started to hear frightened me. One, he was barely a senator for a year. Two, he mostly voted present when he was there. Three, he had some of the most liberal views I had ever seen. Four, he made some very derogatory comments about our armed services, and he clearly was not a champion for the unborn.


I loudly voiced my concern to my family, who's immediate response was, "but he'd be the first Black president". To which my response was "So what, if he sends our country down the toilet, I won't care that he's Black, I will care that he's incompetent". I told another family member that we would be the laughing stock of the world, if the only reason we voted for him is the color of his skin. That the Muslim terrorists would look at him as a traitor to their faith, and that Iran, Russia, and North Korea would look at him as a softie. I saw him repealing every prolife measure that president Bush enacted. I saw all of these things coming, and I was laughed at, or worse yet ignored. People said he was diffent, and all I saw was a person coming out of the Chicago political machine. I know there were some that thought of me as an Uncle Tom, or a sellout, but I could've cared less, I was going to vote with my conscience.



Now about his abortion view; I couldn't stand the fact that a man of the Black community, who's mother raised him by herself, would support an organization that would've told his mother while she was pregnant with him, that she would be better off without him. The ad below says it clearly:






The fact that he can kiss the behind of organizations that are destroying the littlest of lives, and the Black community en masse, while proclaiming to fight for the weakest among us would be laughable if it weren't so deadly. The first thing he did was repeal the Mexico City Policy. During the first week, he also vowed to repeal the Hyde Amendment if brought before him. The baby in the womb is not just a clump of cells, or another species of being. It is a human being, that if left alone will live to see the light of day, and take it's first breath. As I type this my 1 month old son is using his lungs to their full potential and letting me know that he is unhappy. He was born at 37 weeks. According to our president it would have been ok for me to have killed my baby for any reason at all, and if he survived the attempted abortion, to let him die. That he had no rights. Where do any of our "rights" come from if there is no right to even live? How can we as a country look at an unborn baby, an elderly person, or someone who cannot take care of themselves anymore, and the only thing they can think of is how much that person is a burden to them or society? You see I'm a true feminist. The first feminists were prolife by the way. I believe that women are the strongest beings on earth. To tell a woman you're not strong enough to deal with hardship or difficulties, is an insult. To tell a woman that killing your own flesh is empowering is demeaning. Pro abortion advocates are all for the killing of unborn babies. But those very same people want to cry foul about the death penalty, and how we treat terrorists and criminals, or little animals, (I love animals by the way). Imagine that; a mass murderer has more rights than my little baby.


Which brings me to my next point. How the hell can Khalid Sheikh Muhammad be brought here to our court system, and given rights he does not deserve? This is the same monster who beheaded Daniel Pearl, and people are outraged that he had water poured on his nose?! What rights did he give Mr. Pearl who was only there to cover a story? This monster (I will not give him the decency of the title of man), who cares so little for human life, is afforded more compassion than unborn babies, Terri Schiavo, those who are permenantly incapacitated. How can that be! Our country was founded on blood, but it was the blood of men who sacrificed all so that we can be free of tyranny. Not have our government rule us with an iron fist. To tell us that Blacks were 3/5 of a human was egregious. That they were property, no more than cattle, to be branded. And guess what happened: people got fed up, and did something about it. The sooner we look at abortion, and euthanasia the same way we looked at slavery, that these are people that need our love and compassion, not scorn , our country will start to get back on the right track.

Now on the issue of our economy...our president promised the world to everyone about everything. So much so that people were feeling like this:









How anyone can look at this clip without an ounce of embarassment is beyond me. This is what Americans thought a million times over; Obama will give me what I need, Obama is going to take care of everything. The oceans will recede, the smoke stacks of our industrial sector would cease to exist, the money would flow like water, and everyone would be rich. Never mind if some of these now rich people didn't work for it. Quite frankly if I owned a million dollar business, I'd be quite worried right about now. The fact that you might have worked your entire adult life to build that business doesn't matter. Obama says you owe your hard earned money to someone waiting for a handout. America voted him into office because he read a teleprompter well, and sounded eloquent. Whites voted for him because they might have felt guilty about not voting for the first Black president, and most blacks voted for him just because he's Black, which brings me to my last point...race.


As a Black woman, I am appalled that society wants to lump me in with every other Black person, and say we cannot think for ourselves. That we are like sheep following one train of thought, and if we stray from that we are a sellout. That if you are poor you will never be successful, and to blame your situation on White people, or Blacks that are successful, that we don't care about them. Does the content of one's character not matter anymore? Just because I am Black doesn't mean I automatically votes for Blacks, anymore than because I'm a woman means I should automatically vote for a woman. I was raised to be independant, and think for myself, not conform to what someone else says I should be. We as Blacks have overcome the worst kind of evil, and some Blacks have replaced one type of slavery with another: the physical bonds of slavery with the slavery of the mind. Well I have broken free from those chains and will not raise my children to depend on the government for anything. I pray for those who hate me because I don't think the same way they do, and hope my children will not have to defend their ethnicity like most feel they have to do. To not use their race as a crutch, that if they don't succeed to work harder for what they want, don't automatically think someone is a racist. I worked hard all my life, and any successes I haven't accomplished are of my own accord, no one else's. My children will be proud of their heritage, they are a mix of Black, White, Native American and Hispanic. They will look at the world through eyes that have not been blinded by hatred or malice, but love and the possibility of things to come.
