Is One Race Superior To Others


I do not believe God created any one race smarter or stronger than another. I am of the belief God created us all as equals. We are what we become through faith and our efforts. I have been privileged to witness amazing and inspiring feats in the areas of science, medicine, education, the arts and sports, from people of many races and nationalities. I have met brilliant people from many nations, who are of different races.

The one common denominator I've found in people who have accomplished truly amazing things is not their race or nationality, but the hard work they put into what they do and not giving up when setbacks or failures occur. That is the true mark of greatness - faith and perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

To see blacks and whites side by side celebrating the life and legacy of Mandela is beautiful. It is confirmation of how far South Africa has come as a nation. They must not fear the future, but carry on the rich legacy Mandela left behind, regarding loving one another and viewing each other as equals.

World Hero Nelson Mandela Has Died


Nelson Mandela

Civil rights hero Nelson Mandela (Madiba) passed away yesterday at the age of 95. The wonderful, courageous South African, was cruelly and unjustly jailed for 27-years for peacefully opposing apartheid. After his release, Madela, born into African royalty, became the first black President of South Africa, in a monumental moment in history and one that is proudly remembered by many.


Mandela preached a beautiful message that all are equal. Mandela, like fellow human rights advocate and civil rights hero, Martin Luther King Jr, devoted his energies to uniting blacks and whites, which is an admirable life's calling. He stood and will always stand as a symbol of peace and perseverance. The world was made better because he was in it. God bless Mandela and may he rest in peace.
