I can remember while in school people saying man Dr. Martin luther king is my hero or Melcom X and so on. When I think about the kids today and their parents maybe that's why a lot of things are they way they are because they have no heroes! When will that next person step up and be a hero? I man obama is really not a hero I don't think a politician can be a hero I think what they do is feed people want they want to hear bout their agenda is never really all that its cracked up to be. I think a lot of people are scared to step up and fill the shoes of the late king and X because they seen what happen to them. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine and she told me it only takes one strong minded person to start a movement. She was like where do you think colts come from? That one person wasn't always wired he found something he believed in and just let it guide him. So if we had one person willing to do that then these young kids might not want to join gangs they would join clubs in school. If we can use some of this negative energy and put it to good use I think things would be a lot different in our community. Who will be the next hero?

Good Question. Heros are not around anymore for to reasons. 1. No passion. All great men and women who are consider Hero's by history all had Passion. Harriet Tubman ahd a passion to free slaves. Martin Luther King had a passion for mankind. George Washington Carver had a passion for the Peanut.
ReplyDeleteThe second reason is lack of boldness. The ability to act when no one else will. Someone willing to take risk. Not afraid to fail.Not matter the cost. Even death.
Micheal Jordan was consider a hero because for what he did on the basketball court. He also not afraid to fail. That made him great. Same with Kobe Bryant.
'IF THERE IS NOTHING WORTH LIVING FOR THERE IS NOTHING WORTH DYING FOR" Martin Luther King said that.
You are right Justin. Obama is not a hero. But People look @ him as that because the shortage of hero's.
One more thing about heros. Hero's put other people before them. Everybody know is about themselves and not others
