Stop The Return Of Jim Crow

Greetings Everyone,

I just want everyone to know that right now the era of Jim Crow has returned. People who are apart of the system are abusing their power and getting trigger happy and witch hunting by targeting innocent African Americans. More and more African Americans are being labeled "guilty" before they can even prove their innocence. African Americans, Mexicans, Hispanics, Latinos, Middle Easterners, Asians are being targeted by racism , being picked on because of their religion and being denied rights. THIS MUST STOP!!! WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE AND THE UNITED STATE CONSTITUTION MUST APPLY TO ALL OF US!!!!! ALL LIVES MATTER!!!

Police System's Abuse Of Power

Greetings Everyone,

For half a century all of you that have been wearing badges to so-called protect and serve have been exercising your abuse of power and been getting away with it, FOR HALF A CENTURY. For years all of us as African Americans have been classified as coons, animals, non-human breeds, and some other low classifications that are meant to put us down. For half a century all of you thought that you were better than everybody else in the world and above the law and that is complete ARROGANCE.  What happened to Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner and several other African Americans over the years was unacceptable. Their lives were precious and valuable! We demand justice! We demand equality! And I just want you to know that my, along with millions of African Americans living in the USA, that our skin is beautiful. We are not ugly. We are human just like you. We all bleed to same color of blood. We all have the same body organs that operating inside our bodies. We all have a voice just like you and the United States Constitution applies to African Americans as well. ALL LIVES MATTER!

Fighting The Ebola Virus

Hello Everyone,

I noticed that everyone is panicking over the Ebola disease. So what I've learned is that Ebola has been around for a long time and it is not a new disease. I'm not a doctor, but I'm doing research on how to fight against Ebola. Some sicknesses can be prevented ahead of time if common sense is used. Please keep in mind that the Ebola virus falls into the Filoviridae family and is also called filovirus and filovirus hemorrhagic fever . Of course, it is very important to wash your hands with warm or hot water and SOAP, which kills bacteria. According to Wikipedia, Ebola viruses can be eliminated with heat (heating for 30 to 60 minutes at 60 °C or boiling for 5 minutes). On surfaces, some lipid solvents such as some alcohol-based products, detergents, sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or calcium hypochlorite (bleaching powder), and other suitable disinfectants at appropriate concentrations can be used as disinfectants. Some people don't believe in Wikipedia research, but Wikipedia has proof of their research placed on the bottom of their web pages on every subject that is discussed. Also, these suggestions are worth a try. I'm trying to keep myself educated about the disease. And I'm also disappointed and sickened to my stomach with Republicans who try to use the Ebola virus as a way to say things against President Obama and the rest of the Democratic Party. There is a real life-threatening outbreak going on and all the Republicans can think about is using this virus that is claiming lives of people to boost up their political party. This is sick and inhuman! For preventing this virus, try Riboflavin (b2), Vitamin C and Vitamin K (just take a chance and see what happens). Please keep in mind that VITAMINS MUST BE TAKEN AHEAD OF TIME AND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! If these don't work at least I tried to give some suggestions.

Republican Governor Bentley Of Alabama Owes The African American Community An Apology

Dear Gov. Bentley,

Your comments regarding a missing 8-year-old African American girl were disgraceful. Not only did you insult the family of this young child, but you stereotyped and insulted the African American Community. This child was a human being. We as a community are already upset at the fact that there was no AMBER Alert for this child. We are hurt and angry. Governor Bentley, you are one of those people who are living proof that racism is very much alive and well in America. You, Governor Bentley owe all of the African American Community within USA a public apology!

Shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri

Greetings Everyone,

I hate the fact that Michael Brown got shot. I hate the fact that the police used tear gas to try to keep things under control in Ferguson. All of that was bad. My prayers and my heart goes out to Brown's family. I hate the fact that African American people are more likely to be targets of the police and the rest of the system. And the citizens of Ferguson, Missouri are right to protest. I think the police officer that shot Michael Brown should be arrested and put on trial. BUT according to the news and the rest of the media, there are some (not all) citizens of Ferguson that are breaking into businesses and looting. My dear brothers and sisters, this is not protesting. There is a difference between holding protests and just doing things just to be doing it. Don't get me wrong, we all have a right to get angry, but what affect us is how we use our anger, for good or for bad. When people do things just to be doing it, such as breaking into buildings and looting, people destroy their own community. When people do things just to be doing it, they give the police a reason to arrest them. They allow other people to have negative views and opinions about them. There are some police officers out there that get a kick and a thrill out of arresting African Americans and other minorities in the United States of America, so why would some of the looting African Americans in Ferguson give them that satisfaction? While people are going out to commit senseless crimes out of anger, such as breaking into buildings and looting, in order to prove a point, those same people are also proving the point of some of the police officers' as well. Protesting is considered to be walking with their hands up (as a sign of surrender) and holding signs in the air, not committing crimes out of anger and putting other citizens as well as children in danger. We as African Americans have got to be smart and use our minds. Some (not all) of the citizens of Ferguson who are breaking and entering into buildings and looting have turned a reasonable protest into a riot.

Open Letter To President Obama

Dear President Obama,

I have an idea of how you can get Congress to do their job. In school, teachers give students a report to do and give them a due date. If the students don't have their report completed when the due date comes, then the students fail. And when the students fail, their grade in class drops. The students may or may not fail the subject that they need in order to graduate. If you have an idea of a bill, tell Congress about it and give Congress a due date to make a decision. If Congress haven't made a decision upon your due date, then you can make your decision on that bill on your own. This citizens of the United States can see how Congress alone is doing in the White House regarding making decisions. In plain English, this will make Congress look bad if they can't make a decision. If there is something Congress don't understand, they should ask you (President Obama) questions.

Good Luck Mr. President!

Crisis at United States-Mexican Border

Greetings Everyone,

Wow, some people tend to forget. The American citizens who were and still are holding up signs protesting and shouting and telling the buses to turn around and go back have failed to realize that their ancestors used to be refugees, coming to America, only they were on a ship. While some Americans are saying "No, they can't stay. They can't stay!", ask yourself this question: Did the Native Americans (who were in America first) say "No, they can't stay!", when your ancestors were trying to find "refuge" from their country that they were trying escape from? Simply because your ancestors wanted to choose their religion or have some kind of say in their way of life? American citizens, I think somewhere this country and the people that lived and died here has lost their humanity, and succeeding in being wrapped around their ignorance. As I watched the news, I noticed all the racism the U.S. citizens were displaying with their signs at the Mexican-USA border. I mean, really? The negative attitudes of American citizens' about the crisis at the Mexican-USA border are a disgrace and embarrassment throughout the entire world because of this terrible, negative message is being sent. These refugees who are risking everything by escaping from their own country are human beings. As I said about human beings before, they inhale and exhale through their lungs, bleed the same blood, have the same body organs that function the same way, have voices and talk when they open their mouths. These human beings are trying to escape the horrors of what is going on in their country. Human beings can't go through life being afraid. It isn't healthy going through life in anxiety and fear. These precious human beings want to live, they don't want to die. Freedom is a priceless gift and they have a lot to live for. They need to feel safe in their lives. This crisis at Mexican-USA Border is human obligation. Humans on this earth are obligated to rescue and save other human beings. As human beings, we CAN'T tell the buses filled with refugees to turn around and go home. We can't make the refugees go back to a place that is plagued with violence everywhere they turn their heads, wondering whether will live or die. It will be like throwing and pushing them inside a dark room full of poisonous and deadly snakes while they are reaching for your hand to help them out. These refugees from our neighboring countries need help. There's going to be a time when we as the United States of America will need help from our allies soon. The United States of America alone doesn't have everything regarding resources that are necessary for survival. That is why we have to maintain trading relationships with other countries in order to maintain stability on this earth. The relationships that we as a (United States) country have with our allies (other counties) are bridges that we can't afford to burn. 

United States Citizens Taking Second Amendment Too Far

Greetings Everyone,

I read in USA Today that a restaurant called Shooter's Grill in Colorado allows their waitresses to carry their guns around their waist. People, this is beyond crazy. Some American Citizens are taking this Second Amendment in the United States Constitution entirely too far. Sometimes, when people have rights, power and privileges, they have the tendency to abuse them and hurt other people. The love of guns is a sick obsession that has dangerous consequences along the way. Caring a gun on the side of you to a restaurant  or any kind of place intended for family enjoyment would be jeopardizing the safety of other people. Please keep mind that real guns are not toys! Guns hurt, injure, and kill. Guns are so dangerous, they can easily go off because of someone's clumsiness of accidentally being dropped on the floor or the ground from someone's just holding it in their hands. Everyone's human balance isn't stable nor perfect. People have the tendency to drop many objects such as pens, pencils, a stack of paper, or even some keys (even if the keys have been in your hand for a long period of time). When a gun goes off that bullet can go anywhere to an unknown destination, whether it's toward a ceiling or to a wall or to a human being, adult or child, at the same speed of a lightning strike. I, too believe in the right to bare arms, but in reality, there is a limit. In my belief of the Second Amendment of the Constitution, it means protection from crime and danger. I believe in keeping a gun for protection for my place of residence and putting it up in a safe place to keep out of reach of other people, because, after all, a gun can fall into the wrong hands.

Who Do You Think You Are? Open Letter to Pamela Geller

Dear Pamela,

As an Christian American, I too believe in the first amendment of the Constitution. But after I seen that sign on the subway, you went too far Pamela. Pamela who do you think you are? Who are you on this earth to even say or even have the thought in your head about who is more civilized than the other? Do you realize they said the same thing about your parents during the Hitler era?  It is very ignorant as well as arrogant of you to say that someone is better than the other. You as a human on this earth don't have the right to decide or even say who is superior or inferior or who is fit to live on this earth, Pamela. You as a human don't have the right to decide which religion is better than the other, Pamela.  Stop the ignorance Pamela. Your negative attitude won't accomplish anything. Throughout history, the word, "savage" was about people who were different from the Europeans and it was used repeatedly by the European explorers who went to other countries and came across people who didn't look like other Europeans. No one has the right to call anyone on this earth an offensive name simply because they are different from you or you don't understand them. The word, "savage" was used for purposes of racism and it is a word that I despise and hate. When you call someone a savage, you are saying that person is "untaught", "inhuman", and "barbaric". Not everyone's method of teaching is the same, it is different. Not everyone's arrangement of living is the same, it is different. We are all human, we are not wild animals. Whether we are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Islamists, Hindu, White, African American, Native American, Asian, Pacific Islander, Latino, Hispanic, Caribbean, we all bleed the same blood and have the same body organs. We all communicate with our voices. We as people in this world are all children of GOD. GOD made all of us. We as human beings around the world are all unique and that what makes the world fascinating!

Take Back Your Human, Equal and Civil Rights in America

Greetings my people,

They say life is what you make it. Once or twice upon a time that saying was not so true. Decades ago people of different races and LGBT of the past didn't have it so easy, they went through the struggle. America in the past had rules and regulations that caused oppression. Decades ago some people of different races and LGBT died and went through hurt and pain in order to get equal and civil rights. You can do anything you put your mind to if you believe in yourself. Now that phrase, "Life is what you make of it", is true today now things have gotten a little bit better. I strongly advise you to take advantage of that phrase because right now my people, we are at a time that we don't have to accept racism, hate, and bigotry (even though evil these things are still around today). It is important that you must continue to fight for civil, equal and human rights. If you don't, it will slowly be taken away from us. People of different religions (Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Hindu, and Christian) this includes you also. GOD made of us. People of different religions it is important to continue to fight for freedom of religion and worship in the United States of America! Who do YOU want to be? That is the question. Do not let people intimidate you or hurt your feelings simply because of the way you want to live your life.

All religions don't represent hate and violence. All religions represent peace, love, and happiness.

Kevin Bass: Bringing Us The New Alabama

Greetings Everyone,

I'm still thinking about the 2014 Alabama Gubernatorial election. I like Kevin Bass. He is my age (34 years old) and young people always have progressive, fresh and modern ideas. I think Kevin Bass can help bring Alabama up to date and out of the Dark Ages. Kevin Bass is a man who can make all and different kinds of people, whether they're Black, White, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Native American, or Pacific Islander and any religion, whether it is Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhism, or Sikh, feel like they have a home in Alabama. He is a role model for the young and regular people like me in the state of Alabama and make them aware of what is happening around them. Having Kevin Bass running for Democratic Governor of Alabama makes me finally proud to be a resident of Alabama. I wasn't proud to be a resident of Alabama because the opportunities in some areas in this state are limited for the low and middle class, there is no hope and the ways of thinking of some (not all) people in Alabama is set in the 1950s, but now I'm happy at the fact that Kevin Bass is here and wants to change that. For decades the state of Alabama has been ran by Republican politicians who are corrupt and cater to other rich citizens. For years the Republicans in Alabama have made regular people like me feel like slaves to make ends meet and we have been very unhappy because the Republicans in Alabama just take and take and take and take and they NEVER give back. For years the Republicans in Alabama have made young and regular people like me break our backs and struggle. For years the Republicans in Alabama was making things easy and better for people with money and making things harder and harder for young and regular people like me.
Kevin Bass can create jobs by realizing the needs and demands of the people. He is the man that can move the state of Alabama forward to a better direction. Kevin Bass can help the young people in Alabama help that they have a place in the state of Alabama too. We need new and fresh blood, we need new and more opportunities, we need to turn this state around and make a brand new Alabama, and we need Kevin Bass help to do that.

Kevin for Governor:

Why Parker Griffith (Alabama 2014 Gubernatorial Candidate) Can't Be Trusted!

Greetings Everyone,

Well, it's almost about that time again, the Alabama elections. As you know, I'm a full fledge democrat. The two candidates of the Alabama Gubernatorial election are Kevin Bass and Parker Griffith. I'm not going to beat around the bush. I'm not crazy about Parker Griffith. As a matter of fact, I really don't trust Griffith simply because of his track record in politics. Parker has been a Republican, an Independent, and a Democrat and he has been back and forth around each party ticket. In my opinion, this is instability. As an Alabama citizen, I need a candidate who really understands me and other people my age, no someone who just constantly want to win something. Parker Griffith may be a democrat now, but I get the feeling he will switch parties again soon. How do I know that Griffith's views will change from Democrat to Republican if he wins the election? What are Griffith's true feelings and views from his heart? Griffith maybe saying one thing that is coming out of his mouth but his heart and mind are telling a different story. I can't trust the instability.

Affirmative Action Ban in Michigan

Hello Everyone,

This morning on my way to work I was in shock at the fact that the state of Michigan of the United States of America has put a ban on Affirmative Action. Sometimes I get in the habit of, oh, I don't know, thinking of  "what if" scenarios. The Affirmative Action Ban is targeting the students at colleges and universities in Michigan, but I'm getting a bad feeling that it could give bosses and supervisors at work places ideas. This Affirmative Action Ban will probably be a cancerous sore that will badly spread throughout the country and damage and deteriorate the lives of American Dreams that we, the people (including immigrants who chose to move to the U.S.), worked so hard to maintain in the United States. Without Affirmative Action, this will open many doors not only for the return of discrimination, segregation and the famous Jim Crow, but also sexism and double standards. Just because there is a little change in the White House doesn't mean we can rest. Trust and believe, this is not the end of racism. This ban will have an affect not only on race, but among several other subjects.  This Affirmative Action Ban will have an effect on everyone, including Caucasians. The people who voted for this Affirmative Action Ban in Michigan right now don't realize this vote will come back to haunt as well as bite them later on in the future. It sickens me at the fact that a lot of  state representatives come up with ideas without thinking about the consequences. The people who voted for the Affirmative Action Ban in Michigan are forgetting the fact that discrimination does NOT have a one way definition. Today, discrimination comes in all forms, in many different ways. Today, the United States of America is a different country. Today there are so many minority owned businesses as well as minority owned organizations. Today there are so many minorities with money. Take some time to think really hard: What if a minority owned company or business that you applied for don't want to hire you because your skin color is white? What if a company or business that you applied for don't want to hire you because you are a female (it doesn't matter if you're and black, white, Hispanic or Asian woman, they just don't want a female)? What if a company, business, university or college you put in an application for don't want to hire or admit you because of your religion? What if a company, business, university or college you put in an application for don't want to hire or admit you because of the way you wear your hair? What if a company, business, university or college you put in an application for don't want to hire or admit you because you have certain or specific needs? What if a company, business, university or college that you put an application at don't want to hire or admit you because you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender? Without Affirmative Action, all of the rights and opportunities that minority leaders along with other people work so hard to get throughout the years would be in vain. Without Affirmative Action, the United States of America would be promoting ignorance. Affirmative Action is what help all of us look at people as human beings, bleeding the same blood, having the same body organs, and grow together as one as we go further into the future. With Affirmative Action the United States of America will forever promote cultural diversity. What is most important of all that a citizen of the world is smart, intelligent, have progressive ideas, fun-loving, and aware of what is going on with the world. We all have ideas that will help America progress, but if we continue to look at the outside and be judgmental of people, the future of the United States will be in trouble. The United States won't get anywhere. As the United States of America, we all need to move forward, not backwards. Women, Minorities, Immigrants, Special Needs People, and LGBT please do something and find a cure for this cancer before it spreads and it's too late to fix it! Stand Up For Your Rights!

Happy Women's History Month (Research for teacher and students)

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know about some research I did on the internet for teachers and students for Women's History Month. Women's History Month is March 1- March 31, 2014.  I would like to let young girls know that they can do anything they put their minds to and don't let anyone tell them different. Women need to be respected for their minds and looked up to when contributing to shaping the future! Learning about women who made wonderful achievements in the past will teach young girls and young women who exists now will learn that they too can achieve their hopes and dreams of living better independent lives and don't have to let society tell them who or what they "should" be.

Black History Month (Website Resources for Students and Teachers)

Hello Everyone,

I just want to say Happy Black History Month. I have found some wonderful sources on the internet for educators and students. I'm tired of teachers and students bringing out the same people every year. There are so many African Americans and African Canadians who SHOULD be in the social studies and history textbooks right now! People who were slaves in the United States have escaped with the help of the historic Underground Railroad and went to Canada and became lawyers, doctors, educators, inventors during the 1800s and early 1900s. I want students to realize their true potential and self worth. PLEASE DO NOT HAVE BEYONCE, JAY-Z, LIL'WAYNE AS PART OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH! NO RAPPERS, PLEASE!!!!!

Phil Roberston of Duck Dynasty on Marriage

Greetings Ladies,

Well Duck Dynasty reality star Phil Robertson is getting attention again. This time he is discussing that young men should marry girls who are age 15 and 16 years old. Now just because this theory worked for him when he was younger doesn't mean this theory will work for everybody else. I'm not perfect either. My parents got married when they were young. But what Phil Roberson doesn't tell young teenagers are the difficult responsibilities that are overwhelming for teenagers such as finances and having children. Truthfully, it takes two people to make a living today and working on a minimum wage salary may not be enough to make ends meet. You have to pay utilities, house note or rent, car note, life insurance, house insurance, car insurance, and health insurance. You have to have money for food and money for gas to put in the car. The reason why Phil Robertson is telling young men to get married to a 15 or 16 girl (and make sure she knows how to cook) is because when a young lady is that age (15 or 16 years old), she doesn't quite have a mind of her own yet and doesn't have an understanding of who she is yet and she is still being raised by her parents. At age 15, a teenage girl is not sure what really wants to be yet. Ladies, a man figures he can control a younger woman and her way of thinking, so I'm begging you ladies, don't fall into that trap. Don't let a man tell you who you are! Don't wrap your life around in a man! Ladies, please do something with your precious lives because you only live once! Choose a career (choose a job that you love to do) so you can help change the world for the better! Ladies, you all have plenty of time to marry. The age of 15 and 16 should be the time to have fun and be happy. Ladies, take this time to go and find yourself! Take some time to figure out who you are and who you want to be as a female. Ladies, have a mind of your own and learn how to express it! Learn how to think! Get an education! Ladies, learn to love yourself! Phil Robertson needs to step into 2014 and get out of the Medieval Era! Girls who are 15 and 16 shouldn't be burdened with multiple responsibilities of making sure that someone else is happy and taking care of kids. Phil Robertson doesn't understand that times have changed and over time women have changed. We as females have learned to think outside the box. Look ladies, just because Phil Robertson married his wife young doesn't mean marrying young is the right thing to do.
