This One has Gay Written All Over It… Let me begin by saying that Tracey Morgan’s use of God’s Creation ability as a - non mistake occurrence - is another example of people using shallow vacation bible school learning as the unadulterated truth. I ask, what in the hell does Tracey know about God’s creation other than what his momma, daddy, and some in-the-closet deacon told him? And, if he wants to play around with his biblical beliefs, let me further question, “Why did God repeatedly sanction the death of children in the Hebrew Bible (OT) and why did this same mean-azz God issue threats of death and destruction to the Created, homo sapiens, in King James’ pathetic version of what some call Grace – but is really ‘The Easy Way Out’? Who is this God that does not make mistakes? Tracey is right…God does not make mistakes…God is just a force that plays horrible tricks on the Created. What do you call it when two people are told not to do something, and the deity that gave the mandate p...
Royalty is not Cultured Culture is the character of a people’s identity, the good and the bad. Culture at its root –at its alpha- is unblemished…but over time it can be seasoned with moral corruption, irresponsibility and superciliousness. In most cases the true essence of a people’s culture is beyond reproach. That’s if it is not tainted with brutal imperialism and outlandish liberalism. Culture is solidified…permanently footprint-ed in the universe leaving humans with brilliance, integrity, sophistication, and unfortunately with inflated egos and even horrible memories of human hatred i.e. Pacific Islanders were slaughtered by Christian missionaries. Therefore, culture should never drift, die or create a new identity. Culture will remain…with and without its orchestrators when this temporary existence that we refer to as Life implodes. Early this week an associate and I were discussing The Royal Wedding. He let me know with high intensity that I was being shallow when I state...

Connecting Discipline to Jamie Hood

Everyone has their opinion on how one should discipline children. It does not matter the age of the child an opinion is always in the forefront. Unfortunately and I guess fortunately, random people are more than willing to offer up a suggestion on methods of disciplining children. With frustration I have to admit that the unfortunate is when people issue the recommendations at the most inopportune times. Like at the grocery store while your two and half year old is reaching for and grabbing everything in sight. “You need to beat him.” Really? Did she say that to me? What…? I must be hearing things. No…I heard a woman from my mother’s generation correctly. Evidently, I was not addressing the curiosity of my two year old adequately. Perhaps the fortunate element of the randomness of people’s opinion is a sign of the African Village Concept at work: Help one teach one. Without success and coupled with minor rudeness, that was the woman in the grocery store effort. The seasoned ‘vi...

El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz

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

Sacrificial Commonality, Judas and Jared

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...

Beauty and Rebellious Sacrifice

  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
