A DANGEROUS SOCIAL TREND: THE BLACK WEDDING BAND

      It ranks right up there with a woman asking the ‘steady’ man in her life to marry her—I’m going to broach the subject of the solid black wedding band, or, the wedding band with a majority of black trim clearly visible to the public.  I don’t know who started this ‘social trend’ but there is danger written all over it.

      I recently ran into a young man who displayed such a band while we were at my local barber shop.  I saw his black weddin

THE BLESSINGS OF CANCEL CULTURE

      A few years back, a Pastor whom I knew had made a statement—which has since become a favorite of mine—attributed to him.  His statement?  “Sometimes, you have to let folk DIE!”  In other words, you can warn people, advise people, and hold the hands of people to keep them from doing low down and dirty things.  However, people will make their own choices—often against the wisdom of others around them.  No matter how much it may hurt you, we must allow people t

THE COMPETENCY WARS

 

     I’m going to warn you up front—this is going to be a HOT column!

      Those who are quite proud of their sexual branding—those who actively practice and identify as sodomites (gay), Trans (Transvestites), Bi (Bisexuals) and other letters of the ‘alphabet mafia’ have seemed to forget two crucial things: The first thing: God.  The second thing: Competence.  It is one thing to ‘cling’ to pride in your ‘alphabet’.  It is quite another to be competent at what you do outside

Back In The Day Economics With Mike Ramey

     I just received the latest copy of my favorite, local business publication in the mail. 

 

     On the front page—complete with great artwork—was a piece on how vinyl was making such a strong comeback in the record industry that existing processing plants were having a hard time keeping up with the demand of BOTH musical groups—and consumers. 

 

     Of course, I’m still holding out for a revival of eight-track tapes…but this is a dream deferred for another day.

 

     Over the last ten or so yea

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

     Now, let’s be honest.  Many of today’s parents don’t value an education the way many of us ‘P-Schoolers’ do.  Some of the stuff I read about in the local papers or see on the local news would NOT play out when I was a mere tyke.  My mother, who WAS a teacher, would have--simply--dug my grave, and my father would have tossed me in, and put the dirt on top of me, if I DARED to cut-up in school.

     I went to school, graduated, and went to college, and graduated

The Ramey Commentaries (TM) By Mike Ramey

 

MODERN LIBERALS: A CHRISTIAN OBSERVATION—PART 3

 “But evil men shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”

--II Timothy 3:13 KJV

 

“Give Advice: If People Don’t Listen, Let Adversity Teach Them.”

--African Proverb

      A few years back, I was the guest on a local radio talk show.  The conversation started out concerning one of my areas of expertise: Modern Street Gangs.  My segment had finished, and the host asked me to stay over into the next segment, which dealt with another of my ar

1A. Quotation Food For Thought: Thomas Jefferson wrote in his “Notes on the State of Virginia, that Black people whom he called Niggers... “secrete less by the kidnies, and more by the glands of the skin, which gives them a very strong and disagreeable odour.” Yet, the married Thomas Jefferson tol

First, I list the words “Black and African” in this commentary with a slash because I view these words to be interchangeable. I believe that all Black people are some type of African people, given the evidence, so I don’t debate it.  Next, I am not a professional writer, nor do I plan to be.  There’s already enough Black scholars, writers, professional speakers, etc. What we need are more doers, more problem solvers, more sound-minded strategic leaders.  I try to be one of the Black folks menti

"SHOOTING IS LINKED TO BLACK HEBREW ISRAELITES"

 

“SHOOTING IS LINKED

TO BLACK HEBREW ISRAELITES”

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/12/12/us/jersey-city-new-jersey-shooting-thursday/index.html

Ashkenazi “Jews” have for decades wanted to discredit and disparage Black Hebrew Israelites, and they have sought every means to quiet talk of our being descended from the Biblical Israelites. Though the recent shooting incident in Jersey City was a tragedy for the victims and the shooter, it is very unfair for the news media to blame this incident on the thousa

     Here’s my opening quote for our time together: “Politics will improve before the American public, as more and more honorable and upright men fill the ranks of public servants.” I trust that I have given an upright man the inspiration to step into the ring, and run for public office.

     Your fellow citizens need you…especially in these last days.

     One of the best pieces of advice I got in terms of living the Christian life in a fallen society came from the late Pastor E. V. Hill. In one

From Player To Coach by Mike Ramey

     A few years back, Ty Willingham, Head Coach for the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, was interviewed about a tough, upcoming game. The TV interviewer seemed more nervous about the game than the coach, as they asked Willingham about his strategy to deal with a very potent opponent’s running and passing game.

     “We’ll adjust our offense, accordingly.” Said Coach Willingham.

     The adjustments paid off, as Notre Dame ran over the opposition with little sign of trouble. It was the OTHER team th

BLACK FOLK INHABITED

THE LAND OF HAM, CANAAN, JORDAN, AND IRAQ

In that the Rulers of this World Order are White Supremacists, just merely stating a fact, Blacks are believed to be inferior peoples of African descent and descended of Slaves but nothing more. But as we know, this is not true.

     Great political quote from the late Democrat President Harry Truman: “An honest public servant can’t become rich in politics. He can only attain greatness and satisfaction by service.” Keep in mind that Truman was one of those politicians that no one wanted as Vice President (just like Teddy Roosevelt). FDR died suddenly, and Truman became President. If you know your history, one of the things that happened on his watch; Israel became a nation, and the U.S. was the first nation to recognize

TO REBUILD A PEOPLE

     Every few years, it seems, a group of Blacks get together to come up with ‘The Black Agenda’. The cameras flash and speeches are made…but nothing seems to get done. Recently, I happened to sit in upon such a gathering, and was sorely disappointed with the discussions. You see, those of us who have a touch of gray in our hairlines, and have lived through the turbulent sixties know full well that we, as a people, successfully fought for--and won--many rights that were due u

    A true story to lead off in our batting cage warm-up session.


    A young man, out for his first political office, won the primary and defeated his challenger from within his party by a two-to-one margin. He was looking forward to taking a few weeks off and resting up for the campaign trail to the general election in November. Life--and his party--had other plans. The incumbent of his party that held the seat he was campaigning for suddenly resigned, and vacated the seat.
Remember how I menti

Brothers, allow me to slip in a few things about the media and politics, as we begin our time together this month.

*First, make neither one--media or politics--your god OR idol. Your risk of getting hurt or deceived will be GREATLY reduced. BOTH of them are a game; a pursuit to be understood, mastered and, if possible, overcome with a political victory.

*Second, do NOT be afraid of either or them. Some media people and politicians rely on intimidation, bluff or bluster. God does NOT create a spiri
