[stylist] Stevie Wonder- content of character

[Judith Bron]

I got this today from a list that I'm on.  I read Justin's piece and I think 
this is the best answer I can give him.  Dr. Martin Luther King yearned for 
the day when people would be judged on the content of their character, and 
not by the color of their skin.  The celebrity singing the attached song, 
Stevie Wonder, made it big because he is talented and doesn't embarass 
himself or his fans with outrageous behavior.  In short, he is a great 
performer and icon.  Michael Steele was just voted in as the new RNC head. 
Michael is black.  He is a good man, exceptional leader and has a lot of 
good legislation to suggest.  Are there any cheerleaders waiting in the 
wings to cheer Michael on?  Not at all.  If you are going to write something 
great about a politician, make sure there is greatness in his vision.  Also, 
don't fall into the rut Dr. King fought against.  Judge a person based on 
the content of his character and not by the color of his skin.  Abe Lincoln 
wasn't judged as a great white man, but because of his accomplishments he 
was judged as a great leader.
