A warrior, someone who battles no matter what task is ahead, someone that not only regains strength from his weaknesses but also sees life in a way no others can. Someone that doesnt laugh at racism, someone who doesnt feel pain, someone who has been through it all, and did it with a smile on their face. The true definition of an overcomer is a warrior.
The overcomer was ready for any kinda fool that stood in his way.
A symbolic song of the civil rights movement, and sadly still relevant in 2015.
"We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome some day;
Oh, deep in my heart (I know that) I do believe
That we shall overcome some day.
We are not afraid...
We are not alone...
We'll walk hand in hand...
Black and white together...
We shall all be free, we shall all be free,
We shall all be free some day;
Deep in my heart (I know that) I do believe
That we shall all be free some day!"
Lyndon B. Johnson, introducing the Voting Rights Act of 1965: "But even if we pass this bill the battle will not be over. What happened in Selma is part of a far larger movement which reaches into every section and state of America. It is the effort of American Negroes to secure for themselves the full blessings of American life. Their cause must be our cause too. Because it's not just Negroes, but really it's all of us, who must overcome the crippling legacy of bigotry and injustice.
What society is slowly but surely turning into. This state of "overcare" is being brougt on by such things as tweeting and facebook. Everyone must know what everyone is doing at all times no matter how dull and boring it is. People are feeding this monster by constantly tweetin and updating their faces with their mindless dribble and boring escapades. In a day not far from now everyone will be able to know what anyone is doing and where they are doing it.
To when phones had cords,to when people could only call you when you were home,to when I didn't know when all my friends kid were playing a game at that exact time,to when I dind't know where people were at or if their kids were sick,or if people were just sittin around with their thumbs up their asses tweetin.
*coming back to reality*
But those days are gone thanks to tweeter and facebook.
