"You can trust that if you’ve ever said any of these things, you’re a racist: I’m not a racist, but … Why don’t black people just get over it already, and quit being so sensitive? Nobody who’s alive today had anything to do with slavery. It’s time to just let go of the past, and move on. If making it as a black person in America is so hard, how do you explain people like Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, and Barack Obama? All kinds of foreigners, of every color, come to this country and make it. Why do so many blacks fail, when so many Asians, for instance, succeed? God forbid we should ever do or say anything that’s not “politically correct.” When I look at a person, I don’t see the color of their skin. I just see a person. Why do we have to be so hung up on color all the time? How come you never hear anything about discrimination against white people? Here’s hoping that you’ve never said any of these things. And if you have, here’s praying that you never do again." Most mornings when I awake, I am pleasantly surprised to find I’m still alive. On occasion I have been known to wake up with a groan, but even then I can choose not to stay that way. Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may not come. Today is the only slot of time I really have. What a shame to blow it. I want to make today the very best possible. . . . Before I crawl out of bed, I am thankful for another day and pray for strength. Maybe I’m to clean the house, or wash the dog, or finish the washing. The tasks aren’t the issue; my attitude is. ♥ -Marabel Morgan
