Heartbreaking Film -The Untold Story of Emmett Tills


This story, I have heard before, and read about, but I have not had the opportunity to watch this documentary where his family, describe the events before and after Emmett Tills Death. It is a sad movie, as there are no happy endings,  and no callings for swift justice were heard in time, and it's sort of echoes of a really dark past.

This also captures a mother's true spirit for her children. I must warn you that there are some disturbing scenes.

This movie is available to watch on YouTube, and I am sure there other channels, and books available which will take you through this story.

United We Stand… Why We Need To Come Together

Hmm we are all the same brethren, and we are definitely all the same under God. Yet we fail to see and even act this in our own walk of life. Leaving our fellow man to suffer, fail and stand isolated in lands of oppression. We even turn against each other in civil wars, gangs and even in the corporate world. We let the WSP win with their divide and conquer tactics.    Despite the fact we are being oppressed in several nations, we still think we are somehow able to gain dignity by fighting amongst ourselves, believing that by separating ourselves we will avoid trouble, their suppression and can perhaps do better. What about the famous idiom, divided we fall??  All nations have faced colonialism, white supremacy regimes, segregation, illegalising mixed race marriages and more. We all had brutal interactions, had the raw end of the deal in multiple  nations.   We struggle  to  make a dent in the world of finance and business, in sc...

Black Utopia -Just A Thought

Imagine a country where you could walk out your front door, and to the shops, and walk back with not a doubt. Not a single person looks at you, except  in a friendly greeting, Where your culture is celebrated and appreciated, not stolen or looted and rebranded.A place where your children could play, grow up into adulthood with no worry of any bullets hitting them in the back. A place that is ours, and a place we can get rid of that ominous cloud of oppression. Where if we had a nation we would rule with fairness, and equality, because we unlike others understand that that is not the best way to build a truly successful nation. Imagine if we could actually build a Wakanda, where the resources we find are ours to barter and trade.When the rules of society are simple but fair. We can make a decision based on how.. by lifting up one.. We lift us all. If I am a teacher, I can teach, if I am a builder I can build, if I am a chef I can cook, and cook for many. If you can do h...

Racism -the last tool of a desperate fool

Wow racism that bitter subject, the other day a family member of mine, explained she had been called a monkey. Someone else I know explained when they travelled they experience heart breaking hatred. I laughed with bewilderment but yet I am not as surprised as others. People need to understand there is no power in racism but to hurt the person with such a limited mind span. Think about it, to be racist you have to spend a lot of your time, thinking of why you hate this person, what they have done to you and what the world can do to make it better. In all this time whilst they have sat silently hating, the argument losing less strength as the years go by, they will still be stuck in that miserable grey world, not quite comprehending why others have  more important things to do, rather than to dwell on the deeds of another person. Whether they are Black, White, Asian or another race or religion. People may say that they wouldn't have been racist if the peo...
