Rebellious Sacrifice

I was a little slow yesterday (2/21/2011). Melancholy! This is why: He was killed... on the 21st of February. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2PQ3XY_j2E Taken away from us by our very own: http://media.cleveland.com/nationworld_impact/photo/thomas-hagan-031208jpg-033e729098cd6ef9.jpg And he is a free man: http://www.cleveland.com/nation/index.ssf/2010/04/thomas_hagan_malcolm_x_assassi.html “We Are Our Biggest Obstacle.” The Black Rebel

Tradegy in Tucson Judas Iscariot served his purpose. A damn good one! Without the backstabbing The Believers' in Jesus would have had to wait a little longer for Him to be killed; better known as His crucifixion. Therefore, prolonging the INEVITABLE. Jesus was going to be killed anyway! He broke the law. The law of those days – much like the law within the Hebrew Bible - was unlike the law of today: Released from prison after 2 years of committing a murder. Well, if you are black and you kill a white person you staying in that jailhouse efficiency for longer... I'm just saying. So, Judas - in the unedited picture of totality - was a Good traitor and backstabber. And in my hermeneutic means of transfer, you and I are just like Judas Iscariot: we betray each other daily. We do it at work. At home. Ultimately and sadly, we BETRAY ourselves. Jacking ourselves keeps the world 'saga exciting'. Like a Friday episode of a soap opera. And, don't tell me that you have nev...

  Her beauty is astonishing! It makes you stop and do a triple take. This black woman (pictured above) is more than beauty walking. She is REMARKABLE. Deliberately placing oneself in dangerous territory can easily be tagged as stupid. In this case, Kimberly Motley is not among the stupid. She is a Rebel sacrificing. Not many of us have her courage. Her beautiful story! http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-09-17/kim-motley-the-go-to-lawyer-in-kabul/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/gallery/2010/10/22/GA2010102204523.html The Black Rebel

A Seed of Rebellion produces a Rebel No need for me to comment. This young man is everything many us wish were. http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Boy-walking-across-America-for-homeless-awareness-stops-in-Dallas-94792489.html -The Black Rebel

The video below captures the people of Gaza in their most vulnerable state. It is something the world should be reminded of when speaking of the Gaza strip. Instead of hearing and reading what the Jew controlled media wants you to be fed, LIES! The men and women of Palestine are survivors. They will make it out from under the bondage of Israel – and free of the overwhelming but not surprising sideline support given to Israel by the United States one day. While they are suffering now, let’s keep in mind that they are Rebels. They have Sacrificed. I honor them! The suffering continues in Gaza: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619/#37581018 -The Black Rebel

Picked up my expensive gourmet coffee this morning. Headed over to get some cheap gas. Pulled up to pump – and it happened: a man creeped-up on me and asked me for some money. “Hey, sir, I am not a drunk. I actually work, but…I have been a foreign car mechanic for years. Fell on some hard times. I am 61. Too old to be out here needing money for some gas. I will have to do something else now. Don’t know what. All I know how to do is fix cars. Do you have a couple of dollars to give me?” A 58 year old man forcefully admonished me one day during a ReInvent Oneself seminar, “Would you please stop talking about that reinventing yourself crap. I am a brick layer. Have been since I was 14. I don’t know how to do anything but lay brick. What am I to do now that the construction business is down? I need answers. Not some fancy talking-to from you. You have a job!” I hear this sad commentary almost every day from men and women that are well over 50 years old. The message is simple – but new...

Egos are deadly. Toxic. Destructive. Al has a big one and Tavis has a gigantic one! Both men are good at what they do. Al is the last of the Frontline Go Getters and Tavis is still evolving. Tavis actually despite popular opinion has worked hard to help black people get to where they need to be: Over the Hump. His State of the Black Union ran its course thus the reason he “abandoned” it. I don’t too much plan him. He did his part. He re-started the dialogue. Challenged us to address our self-induced problems and encouraged us to defeat the American system-generated barriers. Al speaks the conscious of countless blacks. He is relentless in his efforts. Tough in his approach – more than likely not ‘bought’. Owned by an unseen force. He is criticized by many – but no one can take away from what he has done and doing. Unfortunately, both black men are now doing what The Powers can appreciate: Division Sadly, the beef is really over differences of opinion pertaining to President Barack Obam...
