So in the NY Daily news there is a article called,"Curious Georges ponder Prez link"where they talk about how the majority of the people who have the name George Washington (famous slave yes the very George) are African-American. They went on to say that according to the 2000 census of 163,036 people 90% were African-American, how traditional. Also according to Tony Burroughs, an expert of African-American genealogy, from 1880-1930 censuses 82% to 94% were black. The ideals and concepts that we have fought against still linger like ghost or lost spirits and I say that to pose some questions:
1. If a ideal or concept were like a spirit lingering influencing people would it be fare to say that the root of our problems are these lingering influences?
2. Also if these ideals do still exist and linger than does not the concepts and ideals such as unity and self-worth linger and influence?
3. And if so, why after all that we have sacrificed and fought for collectively, are these ideals(unity, self worth, equality, Freedom, liberty) still on the losing side of the ticket?
