為黑人朋友喝彩

下一個
昨天第一次 (以我的記憶), 看到一位超重的, 四十幾歲的白人男人, 坐在路邊的長凳子上, 向過路的行人討錢. 沒有任何人給他. Although, he kept saying, "I'm poor, I was rich before and from a rich family. ... You are mean ... I have no money for food..., etc."
剛才, 一位黑人朋友, 還戴著 Obama 名章 在胸前的, 儼然以一個領導者的姿態, stopped me from saying some words more, while he's asking us for a guidance to find a computer to use, with a 堅定的手勢, 和 板起來的, 強硬而嚴肅的麵孔. 倒嚇得我心裏麵一個 "激靈".
While, 心的話, what can be better and more powerful than people are self-motivated. Who can actually save human beings, but oursleves in God -- our Creator, and with Him, or letting God work through Mankind ourselves? Even Salvation 救贖 has to be personal, and has to be between God and an Individual (Only God Knows and With Us Completely and by Every Single Details).
這不, 又一位黑人同誌, trying to get ahead of everybody else, "I'm too busy, so many things to do."
There, a 一家四口, well dressed 的黑人, 在打著哈欠, 踱著四方步 after a comfortable Lunch together.
I guess the most profound influence would be on 上層的黑人, as some who may be already well known, such as, General Colin Powell (Famous due to the War of Desert Storm, while Senior President Bush 在位), Oprah on <>, since they may be given even more important positions and enjoy more favors after all. Of course, 下層的黑人, who have endured and carried the most of 種族傷痛.
穩定的 middle class, perhaps, would be no much difference. May be all mixed together in the middle already, anyhow, no matter what color one's wearing on the skin.
