Second Thoughts


My gut just told me I made a mistake in voting for Obama, not that it would have mattered much since I believe he would have won no matter what. Romney was a throw away. He was so clownishly bad that you cant possibly believe he was a true candidate. The leaked video was done to finish the job. Obama is the only man able to continue the policies of destroying our civil liberties. Since 911 the government has taken away many rights such as the right to unreasonable searches (NY stop and frisk), right to jury and speedy trial (Patriot act). The govt can collect and store data on you forever by law now. Computers monitor and store everything about you without your true consent. The Govt now can access your info without any evidence. We can now plan and assassinate American citizens without a trial. You can be accused of being a terrorist with no evidence and be held indefinitely without seeing a judge or an attorney. Local school Boards have been taken over by the states and cities . The federal govt under threat of cutting off money force local communities to do what they want as with No Child Left Behind which I though Obama was against. Workers rights to negotiate are being tossed out (right to work states). 
What about crime and the Nixon started War on drugs which has the USA as the number one country in the world that imprisons its own people. A War that unfairly target the most vulnerable people in our societies, which are the poor and downtrodden. A war that has a never ending list of casualties. A war that has created more violence than it has stopped. A war that has helped create pre-civil war like condition in America. What about Chicago, Newark, Brooklyn, Detroit , Philly and many other cities that gun violence has plagued for many years. Why was it okay for thousands to have died on your first term but it took the tragedy at Sandy Hook to motivate you and Govt. Whats your take on inner city violence? Is it to create more prison? Or is it to create a better climate in which poor people may have a path to being law abiding tax paying citizens? Or do you believe that most Black people are really lazy as they tried to paint you in the first debate. What about them jobs? You Know there's is a real correlation between violence and joblessness. So maybe if there were more good paying jobs that people in poverty were trained to do maybe the violence in the ghettos of america would diminish. Maybe minority kids would do better in school. Maybe welfare would drop to almost nothing. Maybe our prisons population goes down tremendously. Can it all be so simple? I guess not. So the answer continues to be the continuous cycle of poverty,uneducated, bad decision, drugs, jail, felony, no future jail or death for so many. Why do we keep attacking the problem without attacking the cause. The Root of the problem in an unfair economic/social system in our country. Until we attack the root we will continue to chase our tails as a society. 
This idea that President Obama cant deal with specific issues dealing with blacks who gave him 98 percent of there votes and came out in record numbers for him is absurd. I also believe that Black Americas problems are American problems. By helping Blacks and other oppressed people , he would be helping America in the best way possible. Yet we can not even have this discussion because he is Black. Maybe he doesn't realize that we carry a lot of his weight as well. The disrespect showed to you in your first term is the same disrespect we have always endured and now that you are the H.N.I.C. , it is worse than ever. Maybe in your elite circle of Beyonce, ,Jay Z and Oprah , you might be jaded to the realities of the oppressed. The same thing that drew you to Black enclaves of New York and Chicago. What did you learn about half of you? Did you get a chance to watch roots by Alex Haley ? I wonder what you think when you watch these movies?

P.S. The Clinton's and sh*t either!

History Will Reveal the true Story of the Stolen African

Only History will tell the real story


I have been arguing the point to Black women for years, that they sold  out  the Civil rights movement to join the women rights movement , which only benefited white women. This allowed the Black Man to have his turn skipped in the Economic come-up. White women and Europeans like the Irish and Italian were allowed to jump the line that Black men waited on for so many harsh years. The Unions still would not allow Blacks to join ,yet took uneducated European Immigrants in droves. If Black men would have got their fare turn in the Economics of this country we really helped built , things would be different. In all fairness, what group paid more dues than the Stolen African slaves that became Americans. Hundreds of years of rape, genocide, indignity, and assimilation under the hands of Religious Europeans. We still did not react in the violence we really had right to during slavery. We fight through marches and trying to create our own identity. We begged to fight in the wars that the United States were involved in to show our love/loyalty for this country that has treated us so badly. Black people have always fought and died for this country. Our reward was Jim Crow and the KKK.

I look across the world I see many examples of dark skin people being treated the same way. In India about 85% of the people are Black as night, these are the untouchables in the caste system. In most Latin countries there are more black people than white and its the same there. The dark skin are the poor and so called violent and uneducated while the Light skin people are in power. The Caribbean islands are the same as well as mexico and so on. This is way bigger than African Americans. I refuse to believe that people of color are less capable than others especially when I am aware that all humans come from Black people in Africa. I know that Blacks were the original Egyptians that were responsible for many of the greatest inventions and were the creators of civilization. This is not about intelligence, its about suppression. So part of me takes great honor in this role I play in society as a Black man. I'll be the Thug, Gangster, loser, bum, uneducated, violent, angry, good for nothing jailbird, deadbeat dad, the angry  Black man. I believe that when we look back on this time from the future, I will be looked at as the Hero ,who survived under terrible conditions. Who kept a sense of dignity and pride despite what the colonizer says I am. My children will be grow to pass this pride to the next generation. The Nazi had many Jewish people in Jails. Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison in South Africa, Martin Luther King a reverend was sent to jail . So it actually makes sense that a large number of Blacks fill the jails. Now in no way am I excusing the ignorant , misguided Black men that kill and rob their own people. I have very little mercy for these types but I again understand how we as a people (Ignorantly) and society (intentionally) may have played a large role in these young men becoming who they are. We are living in the moment but history has a way revealing the truth as time moves on. Today Thugs Tomorrow Heroes.

The Purpose of Religion


    I know a lot of people may dislike me for this statement but it is really time to get away from this thing called religion.  I really cant think of any positive it has brought to the world. It has nothing to do with God or the true words of the Great books inspired by God. It is a dictatorship that has a corporate hierarchy.  So much money flows through the church that it cant be a place of god. As I remember Jesus wore the same basic clothes as the people he served. He didn't wear extravagant cloths and lived in palaces, yet the leaders of all these churches live like kings. Who are they following? Does God really require this or want this ? Jesus converted people through love and healing. Religion convert through threats, extortion, fear,rape , assault and murder.  Think of the Crusade wars which was started by Christians. Think of colonialism which was done based on 50 percent profits and 50 % religion.  The conquistadors were lead by a priest! They converted Africans, South Americans, North Americans  using fear , murder and cultural genocide, all in the name of profits and Religion. Think of the protestants who left Europe in the name of Religious freedom yet come to a new land and steal and murder the natives who worshiped God differently than them. Still to this day they profit off stolen lands and the people who owned and built this land are still poor and trapped in the worst of circumstances. If Jesus was the president of the United States or the World , what would it look like? Nothing like it does today.
    I am not an atheist and i do have a love and respect for the great Spirit, Architect, God , Allah, Jah, or whatever you choose to call him/her/it. I believe that there is only one source in which good and bad both come from. The opposites make it a reality. It makes life three dimensional.  The truth is that all religions are intertwined from again the same source that is older than our books and history. There is truth in all of the Great books. The problem is that the books and knowledge is in the wrong hands. I believe (d)evil has stolen the knowledge and with it , the power that comes with it.  If you have studied your bible you will know the story foretold of the last days. It is written that two beast will come , one from the land, and one from the sea. It is written that one of the beast will become the leader of the world, he will fool the people into believing that he is righteous. Most of the people will willingly follow the beast. The devil will have reign over the Earth for a 1000 years. Now keep in mind that i dont take the great books words literally , that would be too simple in my opinion to come from God. The truth is in the feeling those words inspire in man. The book  displays all the greatness and flaws that man either repeats or conquers in life. The Great books tell stories of mans great spiritual triumphs, as well as our spiritual failings. It is too inspire us to be in his true image, God Like. It is not to oppress or suppress our energy. It is not about rules, it is about freedom and love. As I get closer to the great spirit i find myself moving further away from Religion.

P.S. I had Christianity in mind when I wrote this but that wouldn't be fair , so I extended this to all religious organizations.
