No Malcolm X in my history text, why is that? ‘Cause he tried to educate and liberate all blacks.
Why is Martin Luther King in my book each week? He told blacks, if they get smacked, turn the other cheek.

The institution of marriage is not under attack as a result of the President’s words. Marriage was under attack years ago by men who viewed women as property and children as trophies of sexual prowess. Marriage is under attack by low wages, high incarceration, unfair tax policy, unemployment, and lack of education. Marriage is under attack by clergy who proclaim monogamy yet think nothing of stepping outside the bonds of marriage to have multiple affairs with “preaching groupies.
