- This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, let's visit his famous speech and talk about how his message still holds true today.
"In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred."
"I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Hi il watch later watching Everton match .look forward to video
Everton first! Thanks for circling back.
@@RealLifeAlexa your welcome
Will you be covering zEverton news as youve missed to matches to. Analyse and do u want me to comment on your posts or not ?
Hi @stephenbaker9074. I appreciate comments and questions. I tend to cover the bigger news events for Everton. As there are already so many match commentators out there that do a great job, I don't think I'd be able to add much more to them. Definitely loved seeing those 3 goals yesterday and a big 3 points! My videos are a mixture of whatever is going on in my life, big topics, small topics, things I'm learning and things I enjoy. Everton do come up every couple of weeks. I try to ensure that while not all videos are for everyone, there's at least one of my videos for each person. Thank you!
@RealLifeAlexa I've enjoyed the latest videos .Food for thought
I guess the one part of his speech that has always struck a nerve or sorts is him saying how he hoped his children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. So...I'm black and while i am sure I have been judged by my skin color, it hasn't been as much as being judged in other ways. I have had so many people see me as less than because I am not really a social person. They see me as being quiet or shy as something bad. Really hurt growing up when adults would be just as cruel as other people my age or worse, feeling excluded by others who are also black. So whenever I have read or heard the I have a dream speech, I almost feel as though I am being judged in the way that he had hoped people would do so. And yet, am I?
I know me being socially awkward isn't the same as what you were saying about gender equality, but it just seems just as frustrating no less.
Sorry for adding a negative comment to your very thoughtful video.
@@joanfan6324 this is a very thoughtful response. Remember that things like anxiety make us "different" as well and discrimination occurs when people use a difference that shouldn't matter as a reason for an action. I can see the direct parallel in your shared experience and being able to relate is the way we can empathize with others. Maybe it's not exactly the same experience, but the feelings of pain, otherness etc. that's the same.
We (society) have come a long way in normalizing neurodivergency. Having suffered anxiety, depression and PTSD, that's important to me. I think normalizing introversion is important too. I 100% have felt like people pass over me at times as I'm not outgoing and extroverted. I can fake it for a while but sometimes I'm awkward and always I need my alone time to recover. They use this new term ambivert which is a range/mix of both intro and extroverted tendencies. It's probably a better term for me but I'm definitely more introvert than extrovert.
@@RealLifeAlexa Yeah, I'm always wary of making direct comparisons to certain things so sorry if I compared things you said in a wrong way.
I'm also sorry that you have experienced being ignored at times, but I'm glad you have been able to deal with it in some ways. Sorry if I got this wrong, but certain things you have said gave the impression that you are good at things like public speaking and presentations? If so, was it something that took time to get comfortable doing? Hope I'm not getting too off topic asking this.
@@joanfan6324 You don't need to apologize at all. Your comments are well in line with the video topic and I like learning about others.
I have practiced A LOT over the past few years. This channel has been one way I have worked on my public speaking. I look at my first few videos versus my last few and can see how far I've come. Practice makes perfect!
