United We Stand… Why We Need To Come Together

Image
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

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...
