"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.

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.
Yes We Can free ourselves from internalized oppression & learned helplessness.
Yes We Can reverse the "Willie Lynch Syndrome".

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!

THIS IS NOT TIME TO WHAT?

I've heard it said this not the time to mention youth killing youth,due to the death of Jordan Davis.I say it's the perfect time.From coast to coast,there's a cry for justice for Jordan,Yes me too,still during this time our youth & young adults are still painting inner city streets with their blood.We're wearing hoodies to show solidarity for justice.Why are we not displaying the same enthusiasm when comes to our troubled youth & young adults.FB & other social networks,Black news etc.,are all joining in on one agenda,"Justice for Jordan".Now is the perfect time to take the opportunity to voice out loud that "Enough Is Enough",we have the drive and the energy to show "Solidarity" against gun violence in our communities.This is what we need,now that we have people's attention.This can be a driving force to a cease fire in our communities.We can capitalize on the moment by bringing a equally important agenda to the forefront "Saving our Children.Let's not blow this opportunity to stand together in stopping gun violence.We may not get another opportunity like this.It's a injustice to our troubled youth,if we don't seize the momentum that we have at our disposal......
NO VIOLENCE - KNOW PEACE!
