Let's stop our black boys from killing each other

Back in the mid to late 80's during an unprecedented wave of black on black crime brought on by crack epidemic there was a rap song released by New York rappers asking the youth to top the violence titled "Self Destruction"

There is a line in that song from Kool Mo Dee that put everything into perspective for me.

" I never ever ran from the Ku Klux Klan and I shouldn't have to run from a black man"

Now here in 2009 that statement is more true than ever. Last year

Embrace Change

  Leaders!

Whatever is facing you today -  Our Creator knew of it before it found you, ha!

This is the time to step up your love walk and examine you.

Whatever you do, allow no anger to rest or linger in your life.

Trust me on this; you cannot afford  anger or strife of any form.

It cancels out faith and whatever good on its way to you. (for real).

Keep your peace at all cost.

You are empowered to choose wisely and deal wisely.

When you think of your career profession, how do you value your work?  If you are a laborer for instance paid on an hourly basis making $10 an hour, would you say that the value of your services is $10 an hour?  As a professional accountant, doctor, dentist or planner what would you consider the value of your services?  Many people with tangible capabilities devalue their services based on the ability of others to pay for what they offer in currency.  The value of your product or service does not change just because fewer people can afford to pay for it.  Neither does the need for those who

'Israeli air strikes represent massive violations of international law'

The Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip represent severe and massive violations of international humanitarian law as defined in the Geneva Convention, both in regard to the obligations of an occupying power and in the requirements of the laws of war.

 

Those violations include:

 

Collective punishment – the entire 1.5 million people who live in the crowded Gaza Strip are being punished for the actions of a few militants.

 

Targeting civilians – the air strikes were aimed at civilian areas

A new study shows that while overall violent crime is down in the United States, murders of our young black boys are on the rise. And the really sad part is that we are killing each other over nonsense, over nothing. Read this story by clicking the link below:

Many of us black men have wondered why some black women always look mean walking done the street or just don't respond. A documentary "Black Woman Walking" answers those questions and may make many men want to check their behavior when approaching a woman. Believe it or not at many times women feel threatened althugh I'm sure that's not the man's intention. Watch the 8 minute video by clicking the link below:
