We Shall Overcome w/ Dr. King Excerpts (Sung by Mahalia Jackson)

President Barack H. Obama has now been inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States!!!! Praise God!!!!

The song is sung by Mahalia Jackson.

There are excerpts from Dr. King's "I've Been to the Mountain Top" & "I Have a Dream" speeches that I felt was relevant to today, January 20, 2009.

Enjoy, Be Educated, and Be Blessed!!!

Guess you voted for Obama 'cause he's black. : /

[jamminondakeys]

@missmuggledetector No ma'am I did not vote for him because he is black. I kept myself informed on the stances of ALL candidates (from all parties) and made my decision.

God truly gave Rev. King a message for the world. I knew then as A young person that everything He said in I have Dream speach was true.But I never thought I would live to see the day. Thanks be to God on high.

[jamminondakeys]

That is truly a blessing to see the day. I could only imagine the joy.

This is really a beautiful video. Thank you for posting.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Well, I like Obama as a person, and I like his family. However, I do not agree with him on his thoughs of abortion especially his 3rd trimester abortion agreement and how he hasn't kept his promises. I'm Roman Catholic, so yes, I'm more conservative. I will not vote for someone or against someone based on their race like certain people. Such a shallow thing as color of skin and facial features will never influence me.

@missmuggledetector GOOD MORNING, NOT SOLEY BUT IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT. AND BELIEVE ME MY RACE HAS ALREADY DETERMINED HOW I'M TREAT, AND BY THE WAY ARE VOTING FOR HIM OR AGAINST HIM? AND WHY? BE HONEST.

[missmuggledetector]

@JOANNE9858 Well, since you're voting for him based solely on the fact that he's black, you should not expect people to give you a fair chance without thinking of your race, since you vote for people based on theirs.

[JOANNE9858]

@missmuggledetector WHAT I SAID WAS YES I VOTED FOR HIM BECAUSE HE'S BLACK AND I'M GOING TO DO IT AGAIN THIS YEAR. END OF SUBJECT. THE CAPS DON'T MEAN ANYTHING, JUST CAPS. NOT YELLING AT YOU.

[missmuggledetector]

@JOANNE9858 You said something rather different. What's up with the caps? >_>

[JOANNE9858]

@missmuggledetector THAT'S THE SAME THING I SAID. AND I'M STILL VOTING FOR HIM BECAUSE HE'S BLACK.

[missmuggledetector]

@JOANNE9858 We have had so many white presidents, because almost always whites have run. >_> Honestly, blacks want to be treated the same, and yet as soon as a black man runs for president, they're voting for him SOLELY becuase he is black - which is what they complained the whites of doing for a white man running for president!

[JOANNE9858]

@missmuggledetector I MUST HONESTLY TELL YOU I DID VOTE FOR HIM BECAUSE HE'S BLACK. I DON'T NEED A STATITICAL REPORT. FROM NO RADIO GUY. AND I BET YOU THAT GUY WAS WHITE. AND WHITES VOTE FOR WHITES ALL THE TIME. WHY IN THE HELL YOU THINK WE HAVE 43 WHITE X PRESIDENTS. COME GET IT RIGHT OR LEAVE IT ALONE.

[JOANNE9858]

@missmuggledetector I guess you're right. a lot of things happen to us because we are black and they aren't all good. .

[missmuggledetector]

@jamminondakeys I honestly hope so, because to be honest, most blacks DID vote for him because he's black. I'll send you a link if you don't believe me, of the famous radio guy who tried out an experiment proving his point. I just think it's annoying because if whites vote for someone who is white, it's a big deal but blacks did that and said nothing!
