YOU MATTER... YOUR STORY

 Peace/Blessings,

There's an elevated effort to Erase, Marginalize and Discount the achievements and contributions of a segment of the population in this country...This effort is being done by the banning of books, punishing speech, reducing and removing resources, etc., that tell the truth of the aforementioned...

This is done to promote the mediocracy of others...

Although, people of all ethnicities and economic classes have contributed to the building of this country and the World...

The goal is for you to believe and put faith in the lies that inundate us daily...To start believing that you and your story are less than...

To have you believe and put faith that your accomplishments were due to your ethnicity or gender...That your education and economic achievements were due to you not really being qualified and/or not earned...

We combat this by leaning into the truth...Your story...You matter...

What cannot be erased is that which already exists...You...

Lean into the truth...Tell the Truth/Your Story...

MINE...

My Father was an Army veteran who fought in the Vietnam conflict...He was drafted...During this conflict, he earned the Bronze Star and Purple Heart medals...Also while in the Army, he was stationed in Panama, where he met and married my Mother...

My Father was the youngest of his siblings and his Father was a sharecropper in South Carolina...Which means that my Great Grandfather was touched by Chattel Slavery...Either directly or through his parents...My Great Great Grandparents...

My parents produced my Sister and Me.

Due to my Father being in the Army, our Family lived throughout the U.S. and overseas...We drove across this country (NYC to California)...Stopping to do the knowledge of this country...

I attended 3 different High Schools in 3 different states...

10th Grade - Kansas

11th Grade - Hawaii

12th Grade - New Jersey

My Sister and I have multiple college degrees from prestigious Institutions - My Sister (George Washington and New York (NYU) Universities) - Me - Mercer County Community College and Howard University...

Let this marinate...

Great Grandfather - touched by Chattel Slavery...

My Sister and I Graduates from Institutions with multiple degrees...

Both of us have had very successful careers within employment and  I'm an Educator & an Entrepreneur... 

We both also have been blessed to accomplish a lot in our lives...

Lean in...Tell your story...You matter...

Do not reduce/diminish yourself due to the insecurities of others...

The Great Pyramid of Giza

We are in Harmony/Understanding with the science of the Great Pyramid...

At 756ft. by 481ft, it's less than 1 inch off in formation...It's base, squares a circle...360 Degrees (four right angles of 90 Degrees)...Completion...

Utilizing the mathematical formula/numbers of Pi (3.14) within it's construction...

The Sphinx

The Sun God (Who be the People of the S.u.n.?)...Horemakhet (Horus)...Symbolic of Royalty & Sacred Status...

DA WAR... POLITICS

 Peace/Blessings, 

In a War, there are many Battles...The objective is not to Win every Battle, it's Not To Lose... Sun Tzu, The Art of War

In reading many posts regarding politics, many have focused on the Democratic Party being the lesser of two evils, both parties are the same and/or the Democratic Party has taken Black people for granted...Additionally, these posts have only focused on the Federal Level...

I've read the Analogy that America is a burning house... Let it burn down...I agree,  it is a burning house... The statement, though,  is not complete...

You still in the House ..

You are pointing at others saying they're stupid for trying to save the house, while the FIRE is engulfing you from behind & the roof is falling on your head...

To win battles within a War,  one must put themselves in the best positions, and fight from the higher ground, not uphill...

One must accurately assess the scenario in order to have success...

Instead of making the aforementioned statements about the Democratic Party, ask what have you done to make them do anything for you (community, country, etc.)?... Ask what have you done to make your State/County/Municipal Governments serve the interests of your community?

This country was founded on Racism,  ergo it's political system will be based upon this system...History 101...

If supporting a 3rd party is your route,  what are you doing to make it viable?  If you're just voting only, aren't you doing the same as the people you're criticizing that vote Democrat as it relates to not doing anything else? 

Are you not aware that even if a 3rd party candidate won the Executive office, they would not have Congress (Senate/House)...They would not have the States/Counties/Municipalities...

If you choose to not be involved in politics,  are you not aware that you are still involved in politics?... Taxes,  Healthcare, Laws, Schools, State/County/Municipal  policies,  Infrastructure, support of foreign governments, etc... Are you not aware that you're allowing others to make decisions for you?... 

Spending your tax dollars that come out of your check...

I submit...

Get out of your feelings, stop focusing on these politicians as though they have a personal relationship with you,...

Get involved...Get involved... Get involved...

On any of the Levels...

Be the Change that you want to see...

Educate yourself on what it means to utilize the instruments available, ie. The Democratic Party (the Republican party has been taken over by MAGA) or build up a VIABLE 3rd party... 

Symbolic votes or sitting out will not help you...

 Help to position us to be on the Higher Ground Position...2 Fight Effectively...

Help to create that which you want to see & live in...

Or

Continue to be the Sheep that you criticize others of being...Easily distracted into non action...

By repeating the same mantras, seeking a different result... Which is a definition of...

In a War, there are many Battles...The objective is not to Win every Battle, it's Not To Lose

DEI or not 2 DEI

 Things that make Ya Say Hmmm...

"DEI is a Gift..."

Alicia Keys...

There's a saying... Iron Sharpens Iron...

In order for that to happen, one must compete against competition...& Turn up when necessary to stay on point & excel...

DEI allows for that competition from individuals, who are qualified, and would not have the opportunity, due to Racism/ Discrimination,  to be able to manifest their/our abilities...

Those who are against DEI, consciously/subconsciously,  advocate and/or support those who don't want this smoke/competition...

They want to operate within their mediocrity...

Visual...1930s/1940s- MLB,  NBA, NFL, etc... versus the 1990s/2000s versions...

I'm sayin Somethin...Hotep

EINSTEIN @LINCOLN UNIVERSITY

 Peace/Blessings, 

In May 1946, Albert Einstein spoke at Lincoln University in PA (an HBCU- Historical Black College/University)...

Within his speech,  he said the following...

"There is … a somber point in the social outlook of Americans … Their sense of equality and human dignity is mainly limited to men of white skins. Even among these there are prejudices of which I as a Jew am dearly conscious; but they are unimportant in comparison with the attitude of ‘Whites’ toward their fellow-citizens of darker complexion, particularly toward Negroes. … The more I feel an American, the more this situation pains me. I can escape the feeling of complicity in it only by speaking out..."
