On this Martin Luther King Day of Observance here
are some of the comments that I received recently from young people. My dream
is…
One dream I have for my city is to end Gun Violence.
Now a days everyone has a gun, and isn’t afraid to use it. It is easier for
them to pull a trigger than to fight it out. Most of the deaths in the city
Chester today are caused by gun fire. I think if there weren’t any guns we
wouldn’t have any problems with this. A lot of lives have been lost over this
situation.
“Black Lives Matter” but now a days people don’t
take advantage of what Martin Luther King did for us. I have a dream that
African Americans stop wasting their time selling drugs and go to school and
get the proper education. I have a dream black’s stop fighting over the back of
the bus and sit in the front where we couldn’t sit. I have a dream that African
Americans stop dropping out after high school so that it could be more blacks
in upper class.
I have a dream that people all over the world will
find other ways to take children out of their parents’ life. There are plenty
of alternatives that mothers aren’t aware of that don’t put themselves or the
baby at risk.
I have a dream that one day the world will become a better
place. I have a dream racism will end and everyone can come together as friends
even better as a family. I have a dream that one day people will be treated
equally and not judged or blamed for things because of the color of their skin.
I have a dream that one
day everyone will have the opportunity to attend college even if they’re less
fortunate. Just because someone is less fortunate doesn’t mean that they
shouldn’t be able to go to college.
Minimum wage in the U.S is currently $7.25 an hour.
I have a dream that minimum wage will be raised. Just by simply raising the
national minimum wage to $10.10 an hour from $7.25 would lift 900,000 people
out of poverty. $7.25 is barely enough to support a family. Most minimum-wage
workers aren't teenagers these days.
My dream for America is to let the young grow in
serenity and self-respect especially with the black race. I have a dream that
all black boys and girls will grow up with a father also that young black men
won’t become fathers until after they’re married and they have a job. I have a
dream that all young black men will say “no” to gangs and to drugs. All black
young people will graduate from high school. Also that today’s black leadership
will quit blaming racism and “the system” for what ails black America. I have a
dream that black America will take responsibility for improving their own
lives. I have a dream that one day black America will cease their dependency on
the government plantation, which has enslaved them to lives of poverty, and
instead depend on themselves, their families, their churches, and their
communities. I have a dream that the crime rate of the black teens would reduce
and they’d grow up to be responsible adults with successful futures. I have a
dream that it won’t be a surprise to all that the Black Americans can evolve to
world leaders.
My dream would be to help all the children that’s
being hurt and sent from foster home to foster home. I don’t think it’s fair to
them that they can’t be with their birth mother and or birth father they didn’t
ask to come in this world and they really didn’t ask to be sent to a foster
home with people that beat them, don’t feed them, and they don’t feel right at
their house. I look at it as if your grown enough to lay down and get pregnant
then you should be old enough to get up and take care of that child to your
fullest no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Also people get pregnant and get an
abortion like that’s the way to go out when it’s not. Abortions should be banned
in the United States and everywhere else and people need to open up their eyes
and take care of their responsibility’s at the end of the day.
I have a dream that one day all the damage we have
caused by polluting the Earth will be fixed and return the Earth to its natural
state. The pollution being caused by us is slowly, but slowly increasing speed,
killing the Earth.
In our society we are seeing more and more of police
brutality. Which makes it worse is that these cops that so called “for the law”
are getting away with it. Now in my opinion if they were really so for the law
they would turn their self in because as a police officer your main job is to
reinforce the law and to rightfully deal with the ones that break it. All you
see now in days is cops killing innocent you kids. I always thought that cops
were trained to injure and not trained to kill; so my question why are so many
cops killing the kids of the future. Their line of defense is that they scared,
but even so they are trained to injure. Police officer are supposed to be
people we run to in a time of need but how are we supposed to trust them when
they killing us. If we want to get anywhere in this world the only way we can
do it is stop giving anyone a badge and a gun and start having some reliable
trustworthy men as our head protection.
