In this crazy country I live in called the United States of America, we have a lot of leaders, strong at that, who carried us so far to be who we are. Hey that kind of rhymed.....but back to the subject. No matter how good or how strong or how great or how dedicated or how fantabulous they may have been, there was always some people thinking far beyond the positivity and focusing more on the negativity. When I say negativity, I am referring to the admiring figure's faults. Leaders, such as Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. and our very own current president....President Barack Obama, have all been and still are great leaders and figures for our country. But most individuals don't condone that.

My favorite, Martin Luther King Jr., was the leader of the Civil Rights movement in the U.S from the 1950s to his assassination in 1968. Yes that's right. He could have kept going. Why do I say this? Only because of the fact that he wasn't assassinated for something positive but he was assassinated for his FAULTS! People dreaded the fact that he was determined to fight for what he believed in, which was equality. They got scared so I mean what was a good way to kill the cause? Kill the person who formed the cause.

Here's another leader as I mentioned above, President Barack Obama. Me personally feel like Obama is a pretty decent president but I mean at the same time he does have some flaws but I mean we all have some right? Some people just seriously HATE him as a whole, which I feel is pretty ridiculous. Things like "Obama being a president but still paying off student loans he had in college" "He started a gang when he was in college and he seemed to be one of the worst members in the gang" "He's not even from America so how would he know what America desires" "Taking our guns away is the stupidest thing ever" are all faults people who have entirely no life spend studying instead of admiring the good he does attempt as a leader for our country for almost 8 years. I tell you my country is just so complicated. We are what you call "a tough crowd"

In conclusion, I'm going to take the time out to rant for a second about what people's views were on equality. I've always been curious about why was equality not something a lot of people wanted. What did people want, to be racist all of their lives? Geez!!! Look at us now! I mean were probably not completely labeled as equal but I mean we're doing a heck of a job being equal when we do. I guess that's it for right now. I can go on for days but I do still have a life at home. But until then............
