Are Our Kids Taking OVER????

It is amazing how in these days and times, we the adults seem to have lost our place in the household Hierarchy. More and more everyday our children for some unearthly reason think that it is their time to take the rains and become the leaders of our castles.

I am 43 years old, and I can remember it like it was yesterday, I would not even dreamed of doing half of the things the kids these days are doing and or saying.

From what I can recall, back when I was growing up, a kid knew and understood his or her place in the household hierarchy. We would not even dare to talk back, let alone out right disrespect our parents, in any way, shape, form or fashion, and if we did, we got a spanking.

What about school, we did not talk back to teachers, or dare or even think about taking knives, or guns to school. Of coarse there where some hard headed kids, but those kids where very few, and they where dealt with by the teachers, principal, and once you got home, your parents!!

Now days, it seems that kids do and or say what ever they want, and if we the parents, teachers, or legal guardians, try to stop them we get the third degree. Not from other adults, but from our children.

They yell, scream, and fight with us. Not to mention if you remember the Menendez Brothers  even go as far as kill, to get what they want.

They tell you and I, spanking is detrimental to your child, and can cause behavioral problems. This was via a post I read on CNN Opinion, dated and or updated on October 22, 2013. But can you really make this point, one has to wonder. Look at it this way, how many kids, that where born before the 90's like I was, killed his or her parents, made a bomb threat in a school, or went to school with the intention of killing other students. Go ahead and count up, and I want you to use your fingers and toes, and give me a number. I really cannot come up with any, how about you?

Now I am all for our youth, given the right to find their own identity, as well as their right to privacy. But isn't it our mission to guide, and teach them, and not the other way around.

The Bible reads in Proverbs 13:24 "Whoever spares the rod hates their children,
    but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them."

Now I am not saying or do I condone, or am and advocate of child abuse by any means. But I am just asking the question, if we as parents, adults, teachers, legal guardians, take the time and where given the opportunity to practice the same discipline we experienced when we were growing up, would we receive the same respect that you or I give our parents, or elders today.

Why I Am Not A Fan Of Trump Or Hillary

  Ladies and Gentleman, it is now coming down to the wire. We have only seventeen (17) days left until there is a new President, and it will be either Hillary or Trump.

 Now, there is those that are for and or against both candidates, for his/her own reason, but for me the choice is obvious, NONE OF THE ABOVE!!

 OK, here is my reasoning:

 Hillary, while america is ready for a female President, I do not at all think that Mrs. Clinton is the one for me. It seems that she is not trust worthy at all, she constantly hides things and not to mention she speaks around the issues. While the email scandal should not be an issue, the fact of the matter is, is that how can you be a public official and not know that, because of your position, that you should not us a private server, to handle confidential and or classified materials.  Also, how can you in good standings, become a senator for another state, and not your own, is it because your state had a good standing senator, that still had a substantial amount of time left, and you knew that you needed to to hold a high level government seat,  before you could make a bid for president, and your state could not produce the opportunity fast enough. I wonder!!

Donald, I do understand that we need someone that will open his/her mouth and say what needs to be said, but don't you think that sometimes we especially a elected official sometimes, pick or have common sense of what comes out of his/her mouth, especially when they themselves do not know the facts. Not to mention do you not think that all Americans should be held to the same standards, and should not use their status to justify their misdoings? Do you honestly think that Bill Clinton, Bill Cosby and other men/women with so called celebrity status should be prosecuted for their offenses towards women or men, but what you did was justified when you objectified women.

It seems to me that one is searching for the power of the presidency, and the other wants to abuse the power of the presidency, you be the Judge!!

Do I Exist I Mean, You Can See Me Right!!

I have been living on this earth for the past 42 going on 43 years now, and it still astounds me how people will look right at you, and through you as if I or we do not Exist!!

 Have you ever been standing in line at a grocery store, at the movies, waiting on gas, or any where for that matter and felt someone staring at you? Not staring at you like they were interested in you, but just peering at you like they knew you? Then all of the sudden you turn around, look him/her right in the eyes, wave as if to say hello, and they do not even wave back, but what they do instead is look away, as if your weren't even there.

 Or, have you had the same situation as above, and given a nod, you know the simple unspoken hello, and get the same reaction?

 What about when you actually open your mouth to speak to him/her, and they continue to do the same thing?

 I guess for some strange reason, unbeknownst to me, I am not a person! But wait a minute, when God said it was time again, for my mother and father to conceive, do believe I became a person. 

 Blood runs through my veins, just like yours. When I get hurt either mentally or physically, I feel it, I put on my pants the same as any other person, not to mention I can walk, talk, and a lot of other humanely things.

 So now does this make me a person to you?? If not stop staring, and peering at me like you see someone you know. 

 But if it does make me a person, I mean an actual flesh and blood person, Then for God's sake ACKNOWLEDGE MY EXISTENCE!!

Maybe You Should Read Matthew 22:39 or Luke 6:31

So Now I Am Stupid! Mr. Trump

 So all of you so called Trump supporters, I have a new one to contend with.

 Now according to Mr. Trump you, yes you Republicans are just as stupid, if not more stupid than us Democrats. LOL

 I mean come on now, what more do you folks need to understand, other than, Trump is for Trump and no one else. He seriously believes that there is no one smarter than him, from woman, to men.

 He continuously puts woman, and other races down, I thought America was a country that was built on the blood sweat and tears of other races. Who among us can honestly trace their roots, and or heritage back, to the original America. I mean the America that was here before the settlers first arrived via the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria? No one can, because according to the scientist, first it was monkeys, Neanderthals, then the Indians, then the Pilgrims.

 I guess you can say that Trump can trace his family back to the Neanderthal era. LOL

 Not to mention to make matters worst, he is got an endorsement from or all people Sarah Palin, not that I am against woman, but come on now, the majority or all republicans, thought she was spaced out.

 At some point you have to ask yourself if is this man, for the U.S. or against us.

Trump For President Yeah Right!!

OK so a lot is being said about Donald Trump, some good some bad. 

But I ask you this seriously, who wants this guy to be President? Not me I tell you.

In an age of being, Politically correct, and supposedly equality towards all, this guy goes against it all.

Yes I know he tells it like it is, no matter if it hurts your feelings or not, but honestly to me, Trump is for Trump, and not for the American people.

He is a bully, he is sexist, and if you read between the lines, to me he is a raciest.

Now I am not saying and or typing this post to tell you whom/whom not to vote for, all I am saying is just pay attention whom you choose to cast your vote.

Right now, I personally do not feel that any of the current candidates, running and or making the bid for the 2016 Presidency is or will be worthy of my vote!

Where is Andrew Jackson, Lincoln, Kennedy, or Reagan at when you need them!!

What If The Cop Was Black

 I have been asked, I am assuming since I am a black man, by some of my friends and or associates, what do I think of the Micheal Brown shooting.

So here is my opinion, and this is solely my opinion.

 From watching the whole ordeal on TV of coarse, you know the media will blow as much as they can completely out of proportion, and then try to retract their statements if they are wrong. 

 Not taking sides, or try to figure out who is right/wrong, I think the blame should go on both sides!

 Reason being, from what I have read, heard, understood, Mr. Brown was wrong, for shop lifting. If he would not have taken what did not rightfully belong to him, then maybe, just maybe Officer Wilson, would not attempted to stop, apprehend, and or Kill Mr. Brown.

 Another Reason, if there had already been a history of Racial Stereotyping, already present in the Ferguson P.D. then maybe, just maybe Mr. Brown, would not have felt like he needed to forcefully defend himself from Officer Wilson, which led to his unfortunate death!

 I am not trying to take sides, and not because I am black, but it is my strong belief that this is a very unpleasant incandescent for both sides.

Now I have a question for you, what if the shoe was on the other foot, would we be discussing this?

 I mean what if the cop/officer was Black, and it was a white/Caucasian kid that he killed, would we even be talking about this, would the people of Ferguson MI,as well as the other states be rioting? I honestly do not think so.

 Not to mention, isn't there a better way to try to come to a positive conclusion, other than destroying, businesses, especially the black owned ones.

 It seems to me, that we as African Americans, and or Black people, should work on ways to uplift our race, and not create more situations, that would add to our destruction.

Why Can You, Use The (N) Word, & I Can't!!

My step-son asked me the other day, why is it that black people can call themselves the (N) word as well as refer to other black people and anyone else for that matter as a Nigga, or Nigger and it is ,alright or rather sociably acceptable,  but as soon as a white person even attempt to open their mouth to say it, then there is conflict, or someone is ready to fight.

My response to him was I do not know!!

You see, when I was younger I did the same thing, I refereed to my fellow African Americans the same way, and it never crossed my mind that I was demoralizing any one, not to mention myself, as well as I was showing my ignorance. 

But as 1st Corinthians 13:11 reads " When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. 

As I have gotten older, I have came to understand that if I refer to myself as a Nigger, or Nigga then why can't others call me what I call myself. Please understand I do not refer to myself in this fashion so, I do not expect to be seen or refereed to as such.

We see it every day, black comedians, rappers as some actors use this word like it is water, it rolls off their tongues like water. But as soon as someone else of another race calls you the same you are ready to throw blows, you want to sue, or ready to call the NAACP. You want to call to arms all the black people you can find to fight the power(s) for doing you wrong, when you are the one that refereed to yourself and your fellow African Americans as such.

A lot of African Americans are saying that we have came a long way, from the cotton field to the board room, which is true, but we need to learn to respect ourselves before we can expect anyone else too, if this makes sense.
