Socialistic Idiocracy




There are some that think that socialistic reform had positive effects on the people of lower income and minorities throughout the years. However, I tend to think that they are completely and totally wrong by the way they perceive the effects of these legislations and policies that were put in place solely for the reason of mental and social improsonment. Not only do these policies hinder generations of minorities from progression, they also send out false signals of hope. That's correct hope. Do we even take a moment to see the effects they have had on the comunities in the inner circle of cities that have fallen deeper and deeper into the oppressive grips of the so called violent times. These violent times however violent they are can attributed to the socialistic welfare reforms of the liberals that so many of us hold dear. Weapons of mass destruction is what they should be called .... only used make a designated group of the country we hold dear commit genocide at an alarming rate. WOW, I did say genocide.... and WOMD.... huh ... and I was not referring to the War or middle east. Now we are feeling the pain for all of the years of following the free things and gurantees that have kept coming our way ... and as whole group no one ever bothered to think ...... why .... why .... why. Why continually we are given subsidies or even monetary gains for continuall contributing to the population without proper means to care for the seeds we have planted..... Perhaps so we can continue to drive the deteriorating family structure left from the turbulent pre-civil war society farther into non existance ... Truthfully the only way we receive a majority of these subsidies and handouts is if we are not united as a family. Now lets stop to think about that for a moment hmmmmmm................

Change the people ... the hate comes next PT 1



First of all, I am pleased to have the time to write some more on my blog. I have not had as much time as I would like so I have not had any new material lately. I thought my words were falling on deaf ears until a recent conversation where my intelligence was insulted in my absence. However, I was pleased to know that they care so much to read my blog and let others know that it is something with substance that you could read.....


Now, I would like to say that it feels good to be back and understand that with life comes change. Although life is a change in progress, we at times get so consumed with the external aspects of change that we fail to realize what we should be changing internally to allow us to evolve as people ( as a society) and not just individually. Even though our external appearances is what most people will judge us by, it seems to me that the judging of individuals is based on bias and oh yes HATE. When i sit back and look at the issues that we are faced with as a community and not just as and individual, I can see why the hate has consumed so many people. I would not readily consider myself as one full of hate, but for a month or so, I analyzed my comments on certain issues and people ( particularly politicians and those in the spotlight) to realize that I too had some hate that was being released.

Furthermore this particular piece is about change and the hate that change brings. I could say that people don't change and they would always be the same if taken at face value. But wait a minute, that would mean that there is no way for a baby boy to be a man or even a baby girl to grow up to be a lady or even to change the mentality of the less than fortunate to gain ground in the business world or any facet of life that would add to their lives. I guess then this would also mean that there would be no need for rehabilitation centers and prison work release programs and even salvation. For if we are all the same as we are born or as we have lived through different stages in our life.... would we even need "Life Changing experiences" and or redemption.
Change is capable and real... however, there are so many individuals in my community and I can not speak for the world that have minuscule mentalities and can not overcome what they have seen in the past. I know that it is not always the case, but it is true what they say.... When you begin to do more in your life than what was expected, there will always be those people who HATE to see you evolve beyond their under developed mindset. I can relate to this... especially this. So often, we refuse to listen to anyone that does not fit the mold of someone looking educated or prosperous.... You think this may be the reason we can not move past slavery ... after all... if you can't change as a person over time, how can you lose the mentality of a slave. Perhaps that is why so many people I see are not only slaves to life ... but business, cars, women, etc. and the list goes on ... ... ... and on. Maybe this is the reason why when so many people look into the mirror, they cry or become consumed with the things about themselves that even they do not like. I can't say truly say ... but ( if you get mad when someone makes a general statement and you think they are fingering you... well you know). Maybe it is true .... since we can not change or do YOU truly believe that ... well it is an option believe what you want... but do not deny a man or woman the right to change... the change they make could save your life in the right situation....
but we do need to focus more on substance than eloquent speeches and tailored suites but that is another topic.

From the confederacy to freedom... my thoughts PT 1





The south has always it seems been the center of controversy; whether it has been the fight over the flag controversy in S. C. or the fight for the freedom of those involved in the Louisiana Jena 6. It is interesting to learn that although my south has been centered around so much controversy, I am starting to see the ways and reasons we seem to be in the middle not just in the middle but the catalyst for so much. I can only imagine what we would have seen in the past if I could go back in time and walk with my ancestors that settled here (forced to settle here). Although we have come so far in the years since the confederate flag flied high and proud ... at least for some, we have still maintained and continued to let those negative lessons and history dictate how we look at certain things today. I continue to find it hard to believe that the effect of this has truly affected me .... or at least my mentality. I am unable or I will decline saying that I am okay with my history .... but my history has not affected me negatively. I mean I know the playing field may not be equal, but it is true that at least now I can play on the field. Opportunity is what it is... and we seldom take advantage of the opportunity that we have .... Blood of my ancestors was spilled not for me to complain, but for me to excel. I know that many people may say how can he excel when we are still in bondage. First of all I do not consider myself in bondage, held down, held back, or even less than he.... Truely we have for so long shifted the blame for what we can not attain. I mean whose to say that I am not going to have troubles as I walk through life ... we all do .... I also know that I have a target on my back thanks to the media depiction of my generation ... MY people ... you know how we are viewed .. in case you are wondering .... just look at the 5 o'clock news national or local and see how many stories are aired about the volume of crime and criminal activity in the inner city. So you say it is the city.... right .... but why the city ... well any time you have a group of hungry individuals .... imigrants or whatever, you will have those that will have to shape their thoughts and actions to survive ... just look at wild animals ... not saying we are animals, not by any means but how can we complain about the south and our cities in the south when we have control and the ability to change these things that have trapped us by symbols such as a flag.... man if I where some of my forefathers I would be rolling over now .... watching how we use excuses and a no win attitude to take for our brothers and sisters ... not just material things but life .... the life.... of innocent people.... no we are not animals but we have let history shape our mentality so that we have become like animals ... because only animals attack and kill without reason ... or at least many times they only do it for hunger and unless we are canibals, we need to have or use some reasoning in the way we handle these situations. Now I am not saying that we should embrace the flag of the confederacy, but we do need to let go of what it stands for and fight for what we should .... and protect that which we should love.... that is my thought for now ... we need to educate and uplift but instead we bread ignorance and we destroy ...
thoughts for the future.... are only thoughts until we produce substance from action

Life without... Seems lonley


Life sometimes seems to be willing to bend for the right souls. It is sometimes evident in the lives in which we live that stories of old will unfold. I am puzzled however. I am puzzled because of what my eyes have witnessed and my ears have heard. Equal opportunity is here for the taking or at least I have seen signs that we are masters of our fates and controllers of our destiny. It does at times seem like we are failing ourselves because we can not live without.... or should I say we can not live within..... I struggle just like the next person with the hardships of life and the mental aspect of keeping priorities etc. in order especially when I wish I could reach more people with the truth behind the lies and misconceptions that we have to live through. It is indeed a lonely place. So lonely in fact that the more we try to teach, the more we are torn apart at the seams. Could we imagine how it would be if we just faced truth and not just looked at the awful made up facts that we are constantly fed. I would love to say that my respect for authority was based upon the ethical lies and miscues that have lead to destruction and poverty and death. I am not a conspiracy guy nor am I for excuses. I believe that what is evident is what we see.. but how can we see when we are constantly blinded by all that we should not be concerned with at all. If the light that we have is the light that will guide us ... will it be visible to those blinded by the corruption of the nights veil of innocence.
Now that it is growing near time to revive our thought processes and see that we are victims of senseless programming even when we do not fully understand that we have been programmed. But even though we should understand this .... we can not fully grasp the thought of having to start over .... The beginning is often the hardest since we have no time frame til the end. I myself refuse to become a prisoner of the process of what we call success...... only measured by that which makes those who set the bar for success richer or more powerful..... I myself am the only one that contains the power over me ..... That is why I am the master of my fate .... guiding that which will define or defeat me..... This is why I would live without.... if the truth will separated me .... that is the loneliness that I will accept.......
Thanks.... for reading

Mind Missing Matter ..... Facts ... of... Life


Economic turmoil, housing crisis, Subprime mortgage issues, Terrorist Threats, Black on black violence, Crime rates of major cities, Ecoli outbreak, West Nile Virus, Homeland Security, Small pox threats, TB outbreaks, Aids pandemeic, Teenage Pregnancy, Child Obesity, false prophecies, Unfair treatment of individuals by Authorites, unfair trials, Stock market and the FED, The Patriot ACT, and more .... Kind of sounds like the news headlines right. I call it frustration. I am totally for sharing the news ... but this campaign of fear is getting totally out of hand. I can not understand how everything in the world is so bad and humans beings are no longer safe working ... walking.... drinking or eating.... well is it truth or just more of the same. I tend to subscribe to the field of thought that it is just more of the same. How can we ever successfully have a nice calm relaxing afternoon with the thought of a terrorist attack ... could happen at any time you know ... especially since they raise the terror alert level with the drop of a pin...... Its the order of things I guess

I am really not sure what to expect from day to day ... but who is..... ? Well it must be those who have no TV, no electriciy and live off the earth in isolation ... (stress free lifestyle) .... I only know that we are fully capable of overcomming the campaign of fear... but its hard especially if you become a victim of something ... like stereotyping .... profiling ... etc. When are we going to say I am fed up with being treated any way they want ..... its almost as if we like being treated in such ways :-( well we don't .... but its almost funny how frustrating it is that it is a fact of life that sometimes it is where you are that means the most ... not where you are going and not even where you are from. I am not trying to pull anyone into any specific train of thought, I just want people to understand that we are only as strong as the knowledge we obtain on our own and pass down to our younger generations ...... We MUST SAVE THEM WITH KNOWLEDGE. I am attempting to do such on a daily basis but again it is frustrating when the media outlets glorify that which we should be fighting to destroy. WE NEED TO START AT HOME. 'Now that is a revelation' well maybe not.... but we need to start close to home ... there is so much ... too much work to be done in our neighborhoods. Belive me these problems are not just limited to the inner city, they are everywhere .... from the suburbs to capitol hill. Hopefully, I will be able to contain this frustration. But for now ...... I am only one of many that has to work to save a generation that the elders seem to have forgotten exists .... or refuse to manage to think about until election time, or until one of theirs is affected by the mess thatwas left behind when we began to integrate...

A story for the ages ..... never know who can teach

I was told a story once by a man that no one ever seemed to stop and listen to..... One day, I was in a rush and didn't want to be late so as I approached this man, I could only think that I am going to be late and I do not want this man to say anything to me today. When I saw him, I immediately started to look for ways that our path would not cross. I did not want to walk by him on the same side of the street and even more, I did not want him to say a word to me for fear that this smelly, poorly dressed, dirty old man would try something with me and not just make me late for work, but I even thought he might try to harm me.


As I approached him on this day, I looked and decided to say hello. Once I said hello, he said let me tell you something... I have been waiting on you to come down here so that I could let you know this ... at that point he grabbed my arm and I was totally shocked and even frightened by his movements. Then I said to him what do you have to tell me that is so important this morning....Quickly ... now .... hurry up before I am late. He just sat down and looked into his hand for a moment while wiping his brow with the other one. I then looked at him a little perplexed but I was unaware that he was about to speak ... so I just began to walk off when I felt a tug at my arm..... he then said "look at me boy look at me .... "
At that point, I thought to myself what is it that he could possibly want ... what is it .....
Then he just looked at me and said thanks..... then I wondered again what does this man want ... so I said excuse me sir .... is there something that you want to say ... I would love to hear what you have on your mind.... then at that moment, he said to me ... you know I often wondered what it felt like to be treated with the respect of man not on the street but a man. So this is what I have to say to you .... " You can never truly tell someone how nice their house is, if you never took the time to straighten your own." I know this sounds odd ... so I asked what ... then he quietly looked at me and said ... "How can you demand respect from those different from you when you never respected those that are like you? In other words young man .... always remember that you are what you represent .... and until you truly figure out what you represent ... can you truly figure out who you are".... (wow I thought ) ... But then as I began to think he said again .... "Only then will you be respected, only then can you command the respect that you deserve... "
I can only imagine what you all may suggest this means or what it may represent..... I know .... and I will say for me ..... With everything that is going on .... especially in today's world, we must look in the mirror and respect all of what we see .... and clean up our homes (within ourselves and our communities) before we demand that which we do not demand of each other ( please give the same respect that we demand from others outside our communities) .... only then, will we be able defeat that which is stacked up against us to find the truth........... the real truth ...... that which no one wishes you to have ...... then you will see the end of the book .... that book called life....

Let Us Remember .....


Let us remember what we have done and accomplished in the years since September 11, 2001. It is unusal how united we became immediately after the incident. I can remember where I was at that moment that the first announcement of the first plane hitting the building. I was amazed that at that point in my life ( it was almost like a dream or a movie) I was actually a part of history. I never really sat back to reflect on what happened or how it changed my view on life or even my view on world events. In the moments that passed directly after the incident, I was overcome with the type of emotions that can not be described. Like most people, I lost my safety net .. ... which is called America. I mean we were invaded early in the A.M., but then again ... I began to think what was next. I was frightened by the mere thought of being under attack on our own soil. I, like most of the people in this country, had become cocky and arrogant. It made me re-evaluate my life and what was important to me as I waited to hear from family and friends in the area of New York and Washington DC. I can't remember one time in my life that I can say that I felt the same way about any events within my lifetime that hit so close to home. So let us remember those that have fallen in the battle since the days the World Trade Center and Pentagon was hit.
