"Dear GOP" - A Message From A Former Black Supporter

Dear GOP,

I haven't written you in a while; probably since I left you six years ago. But this newest embarrassment made me drop you a line. Hopefully, you'll take heed.

Throw Out The Bathwater But Keep The Baby

I threw out the "bathwater" but kept the "baby" because it can grow & learn. Always keep the good and throw out the bad but don't avoid discovering the good just because there is bad around it. There's a difference between being a "student" and being a "disciple". As a disciple of Yeshua the Christ I study the Scriptures and follow him in faith for my lifestyle & moral compass. As a student I study philosophy from all over the world such as that of Confucius, Sun Tzu, Mushashi, Lao Tzu, Zhuangzi, Griot wisdom and many others to learn concerning the world I live in.

Christie Blasey-Ford vs. Brett Kavanaugh... IT AIN'T MY PROBLEM!

What allegedly happened between Christie Ford & Brett Kavanaugh 36-yrs ago became an interlude in the hypocrisy of our Democracy. It was a political fiasco involving two elite whites around a sensitive social issue that was weaponized by opportunistic politicians to manipulate the masses with it. It wasn't about women & sexual assault; that was just the smokescreen to hide the ninja. It was only interesting to me to examine how we judge between the genders, and how divisive these gender biased movements truly are among the people.

"My Name Is Depression" (A Mental Health Profile)

If I could snap my fingers to disappear from off the face of the Earth and make everybody forget I ever existed then I would do it. I'm not suicidal, nor have any desire to harm myself or others, but sometimes I think I would be better off forgotten about and others would be better off forgetting about me. I don't even want to remember me or each day that goes by.

The Illegal Immigrant, Racism, & White Supremacy Triangle

Does illegal immigration, racism, and white supremacy all connect in the United States of America? For most it may be easy to see how racism & white supremacy are connected, but is there any connection with those two also to the current immigration crisis we are seeing at the southern borders of the U.S.? Is there another agenda at work beyond racism or is there no connection at all? Let's exam this as I present my thoughts to you on it.

The Flawed Philosophy of The “Killmongers” in the Black Diaspora

We have a lot of intelligent angry voices in the Black Diaspora but very few strategist among them who understand how to fight or win a war. Our concepts of warfare, playing the "long game", or building a nation are lacking. Some of us are far too diplomatic and others are much too aggressive in our mindset. Both mentalities are recipes for a losing strategy that will keep us on the carousel of defeat in any long term physical, psychological, social, political, or economic conflict. I can tell just based on how some Black people see Killmonger as the revolutionary hero in the Black Panther movie and wrongly call T'Challa a sellout when he is the true hero that still tried to save Killmonger even at the end.

The Black Panther Movie vs. Black Pseudo Revolutionary & Intellectual Stupidity

Did you know the Black Panther comic book character actually predates the Black Panther Party? The Black Panther character was first released in July 1966 in a series of comics titled "Jungle Action" with the storyline written by Don McGregor, and the BPP was officially formed in October 1966. Stan Lee had to briefly change the name of the character to the "Black Leopard" because of the perception that he made the character and the fictional nation of Wakanda as an homage to the Black Panther Party.

Why Black People Keep Losing

If Black People as a whole are winning then how is it we seem like perpetual losers by our own hand more than by others we constantly rail against? When I was in the U.S. Marines I learned warfare tactics, such as scouting out an area long before the enemy arrived to make small almost unnoticeable adjustments to the terrain just subtly enough to maneuver the enemy into our traps & range. We also sometimes set up dummy traps they would see as misdirection to further maneuver them where we really wanted them to go. It was basically making them come to us on our terms.

Blind Black Love For Pro-black & Church Frauds

Dear Black Folks, It is a unicorn fable that somehow when one person disagrees, points out chicanery, abusive behavior, or the criminal activity of another that it hurts Black People or your chosen religious body. Stop asking people to give your spiritual or pro-black conscious frauds another chance, or to always sit down and work it out when there's friction between various ones. We don't need to unify behind bull-crap.

And the "Negro Please Award" Goes To...

I'm going to be extra vigilant in this New Year for "hot button words & topics" used by so called "Black Conscious Leaders" just the same as lecherous false preachers. They use these words or catch phrases to get Black folks riled up to where our emotional reaction outmatches our intellectual response, and we're swept up in their snake oil false theories, conspiracies, and pseudo-science. I will support no one who is a proven charlatan just because they are a Black person or a professed Christian even if they are blood related to me. All they're getting from me is a "Negro Please Award" to get out of my face.
