He Came, He Spoke, Now What ?

I was just able to see the President's speech to the NAACP, in it's entirety. I didn't want to make a comment, before I seen it for myself. Strangely this long standing complaint, by the Black community. Hasn't received much media attention. With all the finger pointing finally over. You would expect at least a decent news story to put the matter to rest. The usual trouble starters, have been awfully quiet about this. I haven't heard one single speech so far. I guess they're busy frying bigger fish. Like the hairdryer incident, with Mo'nique and Northwest Airlines. Today I've seen a unimpressive local campaign, from the NAACP and some local Black Lawyers. Announcing this Thursday, they will be at the voting polls. Making the claim "to have the voters back". Having the voters back for what? No one's voting rights have been violated in Memphis. Everytime I hear Ms. Johnnie Turner, the local NAACP chapter President. I can't help but wince. She may mean well, but that's not enough. I can't believe the members sit by, and let these things happen. She is not equipped to represent the organization under fire. She always ends up sounding befuddled. That would prove to be a momentous task, for even a skilled debater. Which Ms. Turner definitely isn't.

As for the President's speech. That's exactly what it was. I think it was simply a prepared speech. For a predisposed, unreceptive audience. Most people went with their opinions already formed. What he said that rang true in my spirit. "It's easier to change a law, than it is to change a person's heart". I think that says an awful lot. As a Christian first and foremost. God has provided me, with knowledge of things to come. Many things we struggle with. There is nothing Man can do to alter. They have already been prophesied. Our continuous rebellion, only puts us farther behind. If a person doesn't believe that. I guess that's why they have such distaste for this administration.
