Subject: Mothers give Black College Students "Hope"--not the Election of Barack Obama



Date: November 7, 2009



Dear Students, Studying at Black Colleges:



After the November 2008 election of Barack Hussein Obama, there were bedlam and pandemonium throughout all black colleges across America! Newspapers were bombarded with headlines, such as, "The Election of Barack Obama as the first black President of the United States, gives Us Hope," exclaimed one black student! As I watched these not-so-bright students, screaming their heads off as they leaped for joy in sheer merriment! I said to myself, "What a pity! These students are so bent on blackness that they've lost their sense of reckoning, forgetting the praiseworthy hero who has been in their lives since day one, when they breathed their first breath outside the womb!" Yes, that's right, your mother! It was your mother who held and nurtured you through the good times and the bad times--not Barack Obama! It was your mother who in the middle of the night would hear your cries and get up and come to see about you--not Barack Obama! It was your mother who made sure that you didn't want for food, clothing and warmth--not Barack Obama!



In the above paragraph, I pointed out, how you not knowingly, had your role model and hero--your mother-- all along, right there by your side, while you were taking her for granted! It was mom who enrolled you in your first grade of formal training and learning; and stood by you through high school as you approached the age of accountability; the age of maturity where you could decide for yourself whether you wanted to continue to follow the path of your formal training or abandon it and follow the path you elect to choose. At this stage of your life, you can try or not try something while venturing out and dabbling into the unknown. As I always say, "If you try and you fail, you're still a winner; but if you don't try and you fail, you're a no-body!"



In conclusion, I'm very sure if you ponder and peruse my presentation, you'd want nothing less than to sit back and write your mother a note, apologizing to her for being so foolish and caught up in worldly "things and stuff" until you became callous to not only being able to see her as a caring and loving mother, but as your best friend; and tell her you thank her for being there by your side when you needed her--and most of all thank her for giving you HOPE!



Sincerely,
