@chamber84 Not to be rude or anything but Martin Luther King Jr. lost his life for allot more than a black president . MLK wanted more out of the world and it wasn't only for blacks to prosper . It was for people to prosper . It was for everyone to be united as one . He wasn't for blacks , whites , or any other race . He was for people and a better world . Like I said before not trying to be rude , but people need to know what MLK Jr. stood for .

We made history last night. Barack Obama became the First Black Democratic candidate. This is the day Martin Luther King, Jr. lost his life for. It was all worth it. It has been a long time coming....Thank you Jesus

@chamber84 Thank the banks not Jesus! Obama was NOT what Martin Luther King Jr. fought for! Wake up! Only a racist is blinded by colour!

@vagapoeta I am overwhelmed with the desire to comment on these comments because I think people forgot about our history and what blacks went through at that time and the time before that. Yes, MLK was for peace and a better world, but at that time he was a voice for a people who did not have a voice. He was a leader. Someone who they could look to for strength. How dare any of us try to water down that positive influence that he had on black people. Its rude He lifted up the black community

@jacobwlynn As true as that may be. MLK also became a symbol. For blacks at the time he became a symbol of strength in a world where blacks were viewed in such a negative way. This is what made him stand for blacks because they were the ones who were oppressed, but he pushed equality and not black rule. Therefore, having Barack Obama as black President is a direct result of what MLK died for and to not give him credit for that is being rude whether you are trying to be or not.

@jacobwlynn Bless you for saying this. MLK was a man of peace like Gandhi and other great people like him. He wanted more peace and love. I pray that people remember this more. MLK wanted the world to be full of good men and women who cared for each other.

if god would have a voice he would sound like Sam Cooke ....

[ElJeficito1892The3rd]

Because black artists benefitted from the white dollar, many struggled to balance the need for economic individualism with personal beliefs. From the necessary ambiguity of his early songs which needed to placate the white dollar, to the increased strength of the civl rights movement, the change is evident. This is an overt message to the people of the world and musicians like Mr Cooke did as much to break down the barriers with the univesality of their music as the civil movement. Brilliant man

[ElJeficito1892The3rd]

If you consider the lyrics in many African American songs from this period, you can sense the change Sam refers to in this song. His early songs had deliberately ambiguous lyrics. Take 'Wonderful World', on the surface it's a simple boy/girl song, but if you consider the opening lines from the point of view of African Americans it's a different story. They were denied their history BECAUSE of the biological justification for slavery and segregation.

Now try Ben E. King's Stand By Me...
