FEMINISM—THE LEGION SPIRIT

      We are going to be here a while, so you might grab a mug of coffee or tea. These spiritual essays take a while to unpack, and even longer to let the Spirit of the Lord speak through them.

      For the men in the house, whether you be young or old, this commentary will go a long way to warn you about the status of many women in American society—and perhaps—in the entire western hemisphere. It is a demonic weed that Christian men will have to spot, confront, and cr

TAKE THE LONG VIEW!

      There was a time when one of the first things that an older person would ask a teenager is: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”  In that one question, the elder would demonstrate to the younger that there was more to life than ‘texting and gaming’. 

      In that one question is the wisdom in taking ‘the long view’ of life.

      Somehow, many have become ‘time compressed’ to deliberately overlook the social graces of God, Bible and ‘good religion’, as well as just

WHEN DID OUR BLACK HISTORY BECOME HATE SPEECH?  PART 1

      I know that I will cause more than a few eyebrows to be raised based on the title of my column for today.  However, I trust that I’ll be able to unpack a reasonable explanation in order for we as a people to stop being programmed by the world system and get back to being a godly, prosperous and God-fearing people.

      Let me lead off with this observation about myself.  I’m a fan of US Military History. The late four-star Gen. George

A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, PART 11

      We’ve spent much of a great year together, examining the components of manhood that you—my young brother—will need to become an upright man in a society full of males who are not sure in what direction they are traveling.  Who knows?  There may come a time when you can pass on your knowledge to another young brother, as I have been blessed to pass on what I have learned in life to you.

      I just have a few other things to impart to you, to ad

A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, PART 9

      Here’s a saying that parents have passed down to their sons over the generations: “Get your education, for it is something that society cannot take away from you, once you have it!”  An addendum to this is the following: “You can be excellent in whatever your life’s work will be, provided that you are willing to train for it!”

      Going to school on a regular basis, showing up daily for your lessons is a part of the training.

      During my cri

A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, PART 8

      In putting this section of the primer together about Mental Health, I’d like to say that it is a subject worth discussing—but the spiritual side of the equation MUST be addressed rather than ‘just’ the medication and clinical side.  I’ll put it simply: guard carefully the loins of your mind; watch carefully what passes your senses—especially your ears and your eyes—for what enters the mind and settles in the heart WILL impact you, for good or fo

A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, PART 7

      This may come as a shock to many of you, my young brother, but the media—especially Social Media—is NOT your friend (I capitalize SM for emphasis).  The media—including the Mainstream Press (of which I like to call it the “Mainstream Mess”) makes its money off the repackaging and recycling of stereotypes of Black men—including young Black men.  Further, in this ‘new age’ of electronic media through social platforms—under Diversity, Equity, and I

A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, PART 3

      I’ve worn a variety of different hats over my lifetime.  All of them have, at time or another, ‘bumped uglies’ with the impact and effects of juvenile crime.  Whether it has been in a classroom, in a courtroom, or in the streets, juvenile crime is the issue that spends more time taking—rather than giving.  In short, regardless of what you see on social media, in the ‘mainstream mess’ or in the latest video game offering or in the latest rap/hip-

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

“When you want to help people, you tell them the truth.  When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.”

• Thomas Sowell, Author

“The Thomas Sowell Reader”

     He is possibly one of the most down-to-earth economists that may not be known among some of the younger generation.  Nevertheless, if one is truly interested in business, entrepreneurship, urban history, charter schools, or plain old common-sense his name will surface quickly:  Dr. Thomas Sowell.

Originating from the efforts of Carter G. Woodson, whose landmark dissertation ' The Mis-Education of the Negro' challenged the social structure of American education.

However, the white supremacist orientation of the United States makes it impossible for Black History Month to have any significant impact in the education of the masses.

Less than a month ago, an article was released stating by 2053, "Black households will have a median wealth of zero." In other words: half the population have less, the other half have more. Those people who have more are typically white people. If you don't see that as a problem, we probably shouldn't be friends. If you aren't willing to do anything about it, don't even acknowledge me when you see me in the streets. Word.

Wealth inequity is not a new phenomenon. Not only is it not new; the reper

Born in Harlem New York and raised partially in the Bronx New York and later Teaneck NJ, by a struggling single mother, Kamal was almost naturally entangled in a world where it seemed that everything was against him. His world was a dangerous one.

Under the motto " For Quality Education Towards Human Development ", classes began today in Mozambique, the 2017 academic year for general and vocational primary and secondary education, and then for higher education. The first day of classes is a particularly important time for students and caregivers, especially for those boys who go to school for the first time.

Already since the early days of 2017, there have been some concerns about the shortage of teachers to meet the demand, the lack of ed
