[stylist] Stevie Wonder- content of character

[Justin Williams]

Thank  you very much for your critique.  However, I am just really looking
for flow, syntax, and punctuation;  Things like that.  I am just starting,
and I write about anything that takes my fantsy, or that happens to be going
on.  Since he won, I wrote about his victory.  Had Mccaine won, I would have
written about how he held sway, and how the old guard stood firm.  For
example, I plan to write about saint patrick's day and the five points party
in columbia.  Remember, I am just trying to practice, and to submit my work
in hopes of getting published, or at least getting my name out there. I am
looking to my fellow NFB companions to help in this   quest, and I would
hope that I could do the same for any of you.  
Once again, Thank  you very much for your info.

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.
