ANOTHER SCHOOL SHOOTING

REAL Word by THE SPIRIT, from THE HEART.

WHY I'M GETTING NETFLIX NOW
I have to say... In my "multiple decades" on this planet, I have been called the "N" word more times than I can count. And not by folk that look like me that put an "a" at the end....
I have had a double barreled shotgun put to my head for being the wrong color in the wrong neighborhood...
And, when I was coming up, NOBODY was more virulently racist and hateful than the little gay white male clerks in the downtown department stores.
IN FACT... Black people couldn't even work in the FRONT of those stores when I was in COLLEGE! When I got a summer job after my Freshman year, at Chicago's Marshall Fields, I had to work, in a tiny little storage area, IN THE BACK, wrapping fur coats, in the fur salon.
STILL, I was always complimented on the EXCELLENCE with which I wrapped those gifts, because I do EVERTHING the way I would want things done for ME.
One time, a lady (who doesn't look like me), came in and demanded her money back for a diamond bracelet she had LOST! The same gay white male store clerks who called me "the n word" with every glare, gave her her money back with effusive apologies.
These are just a FEW grains from the veritable SILO of indignities that Dave Chapelle is talking about when he says that the alphabet community is ready to DESTROY people for their "hurt feelings", while WE have had to suck up everything. up to, and including MURDER.
But, to give equal time to the reality that EVERYBODY does some f'd up stuff, I want to remind us that WE do some horrible things to EACH OTHER too. I've had more than my fair share of figurative knives in my back from my own, and the alphabets have been notoriously ruthless among their own too.
The problem though is, DESPITE centuries of lynchings, draggings, rapes, and institutionally sanctioned tortures of Blacks, the concept of a LEGALLY prosecutable "Hate Crime" was NEVER passed, until it came to the alphabets.
And with this new baton in hand, many of them weaponized it-- STARTING fights, PROVOKING conflict, then THREATENING to LIE that they were victims of Hate Crimes. (Think Jussie Smollett. He got off because he is not alone).
I don't "worship" Dave Chappelle. He's hilarious and brilliant, but I already have a Savior named Jesus Christ, so my perspective is LIGHT YEARS bigger. In fact, the REAL reason they created this new fearful term, "Transphobic", is this: https://youtu.be/1Ugo2KEV2XQ
This whole chaotic conversation is just a forerunner of a MUCH more nefarious agenda.
This is TEXTBOOK Social Engineering.
I hardly watch TV and I don't have cable. But I am actually going to GO OUT OF MY WAY to get Netflix JUST TO WATCH THE DAVE CHAPELLE SPECIAL, because now, I DEFINITELY have to hear him for myself.
As for you alphabets, If I had to develop thick skin... then YOU b@#&es need to TOO!
As for everybody else... they run the media and are TRAINING YOU to adopt their cause... give them your children... and allow them to pimp YOUR pain.
STOP BEING PIMPED!
Break the spell they've got you under!

A Super STARR 🤗
I just HAD TO share this baby!
She's all grown up now (at 20). But this was when she was still a LITTLE Twinkling Starr capturing hearts and hopes. 😇ðŸŒ
This shoulda been the "Official Video" for the song!

Throwback POWER
A Facebook Friend posted this throwback pic of him and his Grandmother on their way to church back in the day. Today, he's a successful Black man, in no small measure, due to this kind of love
I felt so much love and longing from this pic that i had to save it... reflect on it... speak on it.
....................................
It was Grandma's like this who kept us, as a community, from going totally off the rails.
This pic represents almost everyone on this thread, who came up, got an education, and went forward into the world with confidence, and HOPE.
Grandma's strength.
Grandma's love.
Grandma's prayers.
Hairweaves destroyed ALL that. (Funny/not Funny)
R Kelly Found Guilty. Aren't WE too?
Following the news this week of Singer, R. Kelly being found guilty of racketeering, sex trafficking, forced labor and sexual exploitation of a child, Black folks were, as usual all over the internet with their memes and jokes.
Of course, I had to speak on it.
..................................
There are no winners here.
We make a joke out of EVERYTHING, but deal with NONE of our community issues.
When I was on the radio in LA, talking about not buying his music, to hold him accountable, after his "pee tape" came out, ... you all rolled your eyes and kept bumping to his beats. NONE of you cared about that girl. NONE of you!
You stood by him because you liked the beats... same with all these rappers leading a holocaust in our neighborhoods.
Now... what?... 20 years after the FIRST... PUBLIC PEDOPHILIA event that you all ignored, NOW you want to crack jokes? Perhaps if we had held them accountable YEARS AGO, we wouldn't now have so much devastation to joke about.
But even deeper, let's look inside the machinery of Big Business. WHEREVER there is big money made, those on the inside, at best, look the other way.
I remember hearing that Kelly owed one of his handlers money and essentially said "f you". THAT'S when his underaged proclivity first got leaked out.
That would mean that "his people" and ALL of "the people" of Big money makers know what's going on long before somebody gets pissed off and leaks the news.
So, in this case, the insiders looked the other way, for years, because they were making money... and when it got out, WE looked the other way because we liked the groove.
Then, once THE SYSTEM shuts it down, all we can do is JOKE about it instead of truly looking at the toll it's taken. The carnage.
This is why things only get worse and worse for us.
We are Soooo far away from our GOD SELVES that we don't even see the sanctity of our CHILDREN anymore!
If all you can do is JOKE right now, you Don't need to be looking OUTside at ANYTHING. We really need to be looking at OurSELVES.
Smh...
FAITH & SCIENCE ARE BEST BUDS
I had to say this to someone who thinks we have to choose Faith OR Science. NOT SO.
