GREETINGS members and potential members!!! One thing I have experience that it is a lot of pain that comes alone with telling the truth and hearing truth. Stanley Scott does a lot of writing and posting.. check him out on Google Facebook and LinkedIn . I've been trying to come up with a resolution that would allow us not just to here but listen as well. At some point and time we must identify with our problem and except what it has created for us. Truly we no that slavery and everything about slavery has caused us to hate one another and work hard for the oppressive to keep us down. No longer should we allow this to prohibit us working together. I know Dr. Scott comment cut deep and bleads long. Rather we like it or not so far everything I've read when it comes to black people it's a truth. A better quality of life for us our children and Elder is in our hands. Please understand the anger backbiting criticizing and a host of other mean things that we say and do to each other comes about because we have been taught to hate each other. The bad thing about it is that we don't know we hate each other. the things that we do to each other we call it love but its destruction to ourselves children and Elder. So when you read his blogs take some deep breaths and count to 10 and read it again and again until you're not Angry Anymore and ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work. No more blaming the Lord devil or the white man Republicans Or democrats for our problems.
PEACE AND LOVE!!!
BLACK MAN THE BLOOD IS ON OUR HANDS...AND KNOW WE MUST EARN HER RESPECT AS WELL AS OUR CHILDREN... and the rest of the world.
LET'S GET TO WORK!!!
