We are at a point in America were we do not have the time to stand by and wait for things to change. It seems as Americans that we are waiting for change to take place. As a child of the rural south, I have spent countless hours within the church walls, and within those walls I have heard many messages based on the ideology of "wait on God." Well, this worked well when the great emancipator decided to historically, as we have been taught, free the slaves. How long did we wait when FDR, realized, hey, we need to do something to change what was going on in the economics of the thirties. There is nothing wrong with waiting on God, but I believe that sometimes God gets tired of waiting on use to, when he has given us all we need to be the change he desires.

Oh yea, the Bible says that God had been listing to the cries of the Hebrew slaves for 400 years when Moses came on the seen. Moreover, that time had come for the people to be freed, the same is here now, the time has come. Yet still, many people are trapped by the ideals of waiting. Not only that but we as believers in a higher power, at least many of us who are of African decent, seem to stand by and watch Politics happen rather than lend a voice of action. Millions of people around the globe are lending their resounding voices to the inhuman things that have been happing in the world of the economy. However, millions of voices have yet to be heard. These words are not for those who are working hard to do more than just vote, these words are for those who have the audacity's to say that their vote does not count.

I am a man of faith, but I am a man of Politics, a man of change, and a man of history, I believe that there should be a separation between church and state. However, a separation of church and state does not qualify me to not use the powers of my craft not to lend a voice to what I believe in. Do I agree with either parties on most issues, no, but I do believe that we as the people should not have to bail out the millionaires who made this mess, many of which are friends of McCain and Bush.

Since, it looks like "we the people," will have to bail out these guys, lets use their millions earned this year as the start. Anyway, back to my topic. African Americans, not only have to speak up, but we have to do all that our parents, grandparents and great parents died for. I have heard that many people of color have the fear that they will get called to jury duty, if they register to vote, this is crazy, and anyone who thinks this way are giving in to a form of Jim Crow. Yea, I know that calling it Jim Crow is exstream, but why is it that many of us are so fearful of Politics. So fearful of understanding the ways of our society.

While many of our black men are trapped behind wall of concrete and guns, we are staying at home and doing the same. As I have surfed the web I have found many people of color lending there voices, but we have many more voices that need to be heard. My fear is that many blacks and other people of color will not show up to the polls not because they are not registered to vote, but because they either don't no the strength of their vote or they are just don't think it matters. I could be wrong, but we have to put aside the traditions we have been brain washed to think and put on the what matters most.

We as a people must learn the balance that many of our color counter parts have learned well. We need to learn how to balance God , work, and social ideology. As I lived in Atlanta, during the 2004 election, I saw an exsteam amount of club flayers. I like having fun just like the next person, but it would be nice if for once, the clubs could have as their party flayer one night a voter registration night, and that is how you get in the door. Yes, I know it would not make much money, but it would sure send a message to the powers that be.

I love my people, but the time is not now for more drunk nights of club banging, we need change, we need freedom from the prison we have been put in, the prison of the mind. There are sites that are screaming loud things of change, but how many of us are listening, I just wrote all of this, but how many are listing, Obama is raising large sums of money, but how many of us are listing. Many of our jobs are leaving town, but how many of us are listing. I Bible also says that, "we have not be given the spirit of fear." if we believe in the Bible the way we say we do, then why then do we live in fear when it comes to Politics, economics, and wealth.

Could it be that we would love to spend hours shouting or speaking in tongues, while not learning Roe v Wade. I guarantee the other side knows about it, and they believe in God as much as we do. Could it be all we want to hear is how God will free us from our trails and tribulations rather than understanding that Sara Palin and John McCain want to stop a womens right to chose. Have we in the Bible belt become so lost in churching that we have lost the true message of "go yea therefore and teach." No it does not speak about teaching politics, but our white brothers and sisters still know this and understand this. Georgia, for the past elections has been a republican state, even when Bill Clinton was running. We have enough people to change that this year and any year in the future. But we can not do that if we don't stop looking for the next Martin Luther King, and start become the dream he had.

I am not saying that we have to knock on a million doors, but we have to use Social Media in more ways than one. Lets, take a moment out of our time on line, and not load pictures of ourselves doing whatever, and lets take that time to get people to vote, tell the world our beliefs, lets use twitter, wordpress, and other sites to change the world. We are so creative in music, clothing and God know s what else, yes, use these same ideals for this. Yes, there are many who do, and I say again this if not for you. But this is for those you may know that seem to do not care about Politics. Even after this race do not fall off, but keep talking, keep pushing the issues and if Obama does not live up to his promises, let him have it to.
