"OUR TIME"

I was inspired to write this blog after listening to President Obama accept his nomination for reelection this past November 2012.
This blog is not to meant offend anyone,who is not a Black American.
Hopefully it will inspire others who are not Black Americans,and need a "Wake Up"!

Black Americans this is our time,we've had 6yrs to catch on to the fact that this is "Our Time".
Lets not blow it!It's time to free ourselves from ourselves. We've been waiting far too long for the opportunity we now have.We must capitalize on President Obama being in the "White House".We've been praying and asking God to help us,well God has delivered.Now it's up to us to not take God's Grace & Mercy for granted.It's time to better educate ourselves and better educate our children,The first family is living in the house,they said we would never occupy.It's the proof of what we can do as Black Americans.There are no more excuses we can make for our conditions.We now have a leader who when he speaks is telling us how to lift up ourselves to the level we need to be.Yes he is the President of the USA,not the president of Black America.Still we can achieve what others believe we can't.Black men it's time to change our mindsets about ourselves,our children & Black women.Black woman its time to change your mindset about your children & Black men.Black family values & unity,must be a priority.It's time to stop being led astray by false prophets on Sunday morning.God is watching and waiting for us to catch on to the fact that if we really want change,that change begins with us.God has more patience than we could ever imagine.How much longer shall we choose to procrastinate and believe someone else is going to do it for us.Our Troubled youth & young adults are being led to the grave & prison by those who know,that this is "Our Time".Our children's education is being sabotaged by those who know that education is the key to our "Rise"as Black Americans.Education will bring us where we need to be economically.Our spirituality needs a major overhaul.Some of us are giving their money to Churches instead of investing in their community.This type of foolishness needs to stop.One of the reasons we don't have as many black owned businesses as we should, is because we're not investing in our communities.Instead we have allowed others to profit in our communities,we don't have to stand for nor go along with it.This mindset of every bodies angry at each needs to stop,instead lets begin the healing process of ourselves.We are the only race that's stingy with each other,The more we share,the more we Rise."Our Time" maybe the only chance get to "Rise" as a people. Self help is the best help.Our Rise is not to oppress others,it's to bring us to the level we can and need to be as Black Americans in America.
No Violence-Know Peace!

"SOLUTIONS NOT DELUSIONS"

Solutions without execution,results in delusions.Executing solutions to solve the Plague of Gun Violence in our communities,must be a daily priority.If we are truly committed to saving our youth & young adults  and restoring safe passage to our communities.We need to start & stay active where we live.Scattered efforts with inconsistency,will result in little progress.What we put in,is what we get out.Promoting community involvement must be pushed on a daily basis.Not when it becomes the flavor of the week.It is important to keep in mind,that this is a "People Of The Communities Movement".This is a "We",not a "Me"coalition.We have to occupy the corners everyday.We must keep the Black media engaged in actions & results by the people of the communities at large,that are under siege due to "Gun Violence".Mindsets must be consistent in making a difference in the communities,where we live.Donations & funding is truly needed from community resources,such as churches,city,state & local entities. Dialog with gang leaders & gang members is important in order to keep a ongoing line of communication and create a positive relationship to save lives,which is a must.Attendance at community meetings must be  a priority and consistent.At these meetings,Gun Violence & Community Safety must be the main agenda.It's our communities,so it's up to us to stay consistent,Those who have moved out of the community,who make appearances,who say they're with us,Prove it by being more active.All assets need to be be used for the betterment of our communities.Lets not stall our progress,by waiting for others.This is for us and about us,therefore it's up to us."The People Of The Communities At Large"...No Violence-Know Peace.

VOTER REGISTRATION

We must vote this November midterm election,please register to vote now,not later.This election is too important not to vote.President Obama's opponents are counting on people not registering to vote,yes they have changed the rules in some states.Don't let it deter you from going the extra mile to insure your are registered to vote.Be aware of the agents of separation,who look like you,convince you not to vote due to hidden agendas,under the guise of God & morals.We are currently in a depression, disguised as a recession.The 99% of America is struggling to live,while the 1% wants to thrive on the suffering of the 99%.Our votes can change the economy and bring stability back in to our lives.President Obama stated in 2008,that it would take 8yrs to bring America back from the damage done by the Bush administration policies.The Republican party has offered no solutions & or options.Instead they have been all about the rich.The middle class in America has all but disappeared due to corporate America's greed. Voting is the power we have to bring about change for our conditions.Don't be fooled by the pros & cons about voting.Voting is a must,if you do not vote,don't complain and shame on you.These last 6yrs,Republican party has concentrated on blocking any & everything that would help the American people,offering no alternatives.Also taking away rights for woman & minorities.They promote illegal alien workforce and healthcare repeal,Is this good for America,"No"! It's time to bring back the American Dream,A Republican Congress will mean disastrous results for us all.Please don't be distracted by rhetoric & false info about the importance of voting.Voting this November is critical,especially in African American communities,so spread the word.Register to vote now!    NO VIOLENCE-KNOW PEACE  

EXECUTIVE ORDER

As black-man in America,it seems to me .African Americans like complaining & critiquing about anything that may bring change for conditions such as the Presidents Executive Order-White house Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans.I believe if the E/O pertained to another ethnic group.The cry would be "What About Us".Then there are those  who need to say or reveal what team they're on.When we don't receive anything,we cry & complain.When we do receive something,we scrutinize it without giving it a fair chance.This is one of the reasons we are still stuck in neutral.It's a fact we need better education,the mere fact that a Executive Order has been signed is a major plus for African Americans.Quiet as kept this is our time and we're blowing it,by sabotaging our own advancement with indecision,not being proactive.Instead we're being reactive.We're listening to those who have their own agenda,not our agenda.We cannot afford to allow the agents of separation divide us as a people.It's time for a lot of us to catch on and stop allowing our progress to be stunted by those who believe they have arrived and in order to keep what they have,their secret mission is to keep us separated & distracted with their opinions & propaganda.A educated African American man or woman who will not sellout can help bring African Americans to the status we need to have in America.We have a prime example of this and their living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC.

"YES WE CAN"!

In 2008 President Obama stated "Yes We Can".Was he just speaking about the Presidency,I think not.
Here's why,how many of us really believed they would witness a Black American man become President of the  U.S.A. in their life time.Not many
The message in "Yes We Can" for Black Americans is this.
Yes We Can rise to the top.

NO VIOLENCE-KNOW PEACE

"START WHERE YOU STAND" ,MESSAGE TO URBAN TROUBLED YOUTH & YOUNG ADULTS!

Men who have been there,done that and can identify with our troubled youth & young adults in our violence plagued communities.Are needed to give their experience,strength & hope to those who believe there is no hope for a better way of life.Men who have overcome the street life,by way of  incarceration or recovery from substance abuse and are now productive members of society.These men can promote a message of "Start Where You Stand" to our youth & young adults who are in dire need of direction to a better life.By mentoring to them a clear & precise message,that they have a choice,to either live or die,go to prison or live free.To understand today's inner city youths pain and anger,and who have occupied the same corners our youth occupy today,by leading by example what can be achieved.This is what most of our troubled youth are looking for and need.The knowledge these men have from the life they lived,cannot be found in a book.these men graduated from the Universities of Street Life.It's time to use their degrees issued by God's grace & mercy,to help our youth.A "Start Where You Stand" message to our hopeless youth & young adults will produce change in our communities,so let us reach out to those that society has left to fend for themselves.Let's heal the minds of our children.............NO VIOLENCE-KNOW PEACE!

"ACCOUNTABILITY IN COMMUNITIES OF COLOR,IT'S TIME TO MAKE IT HAPPEN"!

We as Black Americans demand accountability by law enforcement when unarmed Black youth are killed by them & justice from the court system.Which is right by all means.Still I wonder when will we,Black Americans as a whole begin to account for what we are allowing to happen to our troubled youth in our  own communities.This is a major issue among us.As Black Americans who live in communities filled with Black on Black crime,we have failed to account for the part we play in whats happening in our communities.We prefer to blame others inside & outside of our communities  for the chaos we live in.This inability to accept personal responsibility for whats happening to our troubled youth & young adults,by way of self inflicted genocide,needs to change ASAP.No more denial,that it's not up to us as a people.Something is very wrong when we can demand accountability from others and we can't account for what's happening to our young & communities.Those who we demand accountability from,look at us and say when will we account for the daily loss of our youth lives,by our youth.It seems to me we need to really wake up to the fact,that we are failing our youth and ourselves as a people.It's time for no more excuses,justifications & rational.Accountability along with action by us will lead to change for our youth & communities.We can no longer afford to be in denial about ourselves.We cry for justice nation wide,lets use the same initiative to recover from our own lack of accountability.The sooner we account for our own,children's lives will be saved and safer communities will be born.Hope fully those who believe we don't care about our own,mindsets will change.......NO VIOLENCE-KNOW PEACE!
