Hey Black Folks, You’re being Outsmarted Again




In the wake of the televised murder of George Floyd, Black American began to think that this was their chance to make drastic and demanding and permanent change to what we had been existent under for over 350 years. It was something that not only could you feel but in some instances you could actually touch it. That was before white folks did what they always do when black folks began to believe that they are now in control.

Here is how it happens. Black folks allow the wrong people to advance to the front of a fight and squander their opportunity by choosing the lowest hanging fruits. I mean these new black leaders will be offered money, power, prestige and a change of personal status which is what the puppet masters know will make them quickly forget what they rose up to proclaim. You see black folks are taking down confederate statues, removing the confederate flags and getting Corporate America to say Black Lives Matter. Not saying that these things are not important but they are the lowest hanging fruits. With the momentum that was once the unity of the many, we should be reaching for the heavens.

Black folks raging about reparations, which you do not deserve and might not ever see, instead of reaching higher and demanding those forty acres and a mule. You rage on about being treated with the same amount of respect that all others share but you fail to demand this same style of treatment from your own. How many white folks do you hear calling each other “honkey” while blacks thinks its funny to call another the “n” word and celebrate rappers who use it all the time. Hell we even got prominent comedians and actors who toss the word around like it’s candy and we ignore it. Hispanics constantly demean their own by calling them “wetbacks” and some truly have a serious dislike for those that they place that label on.

In other words, you are being outsmarted again because this happens all the time, you will be allow to pick a few of those low hanging fruits, just enough to fill your small basket, then you will skip back where you came from as happy as a clam until you discover that you have just been had and have to wait until the next big thing. We need a constitutional amendment to erase every mention of the word slavery or any reference to the word from the constitution. It must be remembered that the constitution was written by southern slaves owners in compromise with those who planted their flag in opposition of slavery. Surely you did not think that they would write a document and not have provisions in it which protected their interest did you? Reach for the heavens now or don’t but if you don’t please shut up about not getting the chance to change your future.

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

The Sum Total of all our Experiences and our Reactions to Them By Dr. Ronnie Manns, NP, Psy,D., FAIHCP

  At the Start In the second term of conception, when the fetus begins to form, so does parts of the brain.   The parts of the brain that begin to form contain only one cognitive component which is called the Mix-Match Negative (MMN).   This portion has two major functions, the first is to instruct that body when it is time to form the different parts of the fetus body and organs, the second, and one which will present more influence than any other aspect of our existence is designed to record every event that happens to us and our reactions to them. All the information created and recorded by the MMN is sent to the temporal lobe to be housed and disseminated when necessary.   These recordings begin to establish your normal, the safe harbor you will run to every time something like a past event or even similar to it happens because it is the only defense you have and the safest place to be. How this works is based on the example of being born.   For nine (9) months we are safe,
