Psychology

I am noticing the bright and vast array of brilliant people in the Human Services for people field, i.e. Psycholgy, Sociology, Behavioral Health Sciences, etc.etc.etc. And combinations thereof.

There is no way a people cn go through over 400 yrs of slavery(the history books don't tell you the whole story, much longer than that) and not suffer massive mental debilitative generational problems that affect the majority of us today, many people function, but many people struggle. Just look at the world.
Much work to do and a whole gamut of room for all, there are over 6 billion people in the world, I believe over 90% of the world is struggling with something.
Just think about the 70+% divorce rate, if 2.5 children involved per household, you do the math. Incalcable.
Black people have had targets on their backs since the dwn of time.
Don't let Clarence Thomas, JC Watts etc. fool you.
They represent some of the sickest along with Condoleeza Rice(respectfully Alabamians, even she came much later and her mother lives there:-) ).
Just think about it.
The job markets in these fields is to vast and varied to name. I tried to tell someone that, but the attitude shows where the problems lay.
The greatest people and the most negative all dealt with the mental.
The mental is the extension of the Spiritual.
We call all work together in some capacity.
I hate religion(Law, condemnation, the devil), but love spiritual(God is love).
This is what keeps us seperated, the devil sure knows. Even slavery, jim crow laws, anti civil rights were battles of principalities in far higher places than most can imagine.
M.L.K. and Malcolm X as well as Ghandi new this.
All did much and died for their causes, their critics ain't done nuthin but made books off of them after their deaths and done nothing since but screwed things up worse.
Anyway, lets cast envy, strife and jealousy aside and just do the darn thang.
No one is perfect, we all have our flaws, I have to brush my teeth in the morning, and night also. Get over it.
The 99.9% of people I see here are doing that despite many backgrounds.
I have honestly and sincerely made greater strides here with you at this site than all the what people call adults much older than I as well as my age have done in lifetimes, go figure.
I have my views why, you can figure out your also.
My applause, I have to give credit where due.
But I do know a thing or two, not all, but my 2cents worth.
Our lives as well as all those people especially our children depend on it.
The children you ignore marry your sons/daughters.
Think about it.

I feel you 100%. IF we don't help these hoodlums....which are our people with little/no parental support/presence in their lives then they will kill, rob, shoot, and steal from us and our offspring, family, friends, etc.

We must help our own. For who God has given much, that much more is required of us to help others. That is why it just motivates me more when we have Blacks that make it ...then forget where they came from (Condeleeza, Colin, Clarence)! HOW can you forget...why must you ACT white...or too good to associate with being Black?

It just gives me greater motivation to give back to my community and black people. We are seriously struggling with an array of issues. I just don't know where to start. But I guarantee you I won't do nothing. I will start anywhere....maybe with afterschool programs....or summer programs....or drug rehab programs....or marital counseling....or peer counseling...job resources....
I have to do something. I just can't watch my people being destroyed.....this doesn't make any sense whatsoever!!!!

Hey Sistah's, good to hear from you Ngonzi(Impressively different, please tell me what your name means if you will) and Shavonne(Honored to make acquaintance).
One of the biggst lies in society is about pulling yourself up by the bootstraps.
The Bible contradicts this lie by the devil:
Proverbs 13:23 Much food is in the tillage(fallow or untilled ground, much talents and gifts) of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgement(justice).
Also in the popular story of Jabez 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Jabez is saying, Lord if You don't Bless me, I am going to hurt someone and regret later, I am tired of struggling!
Remember it starts with the parents. I wrote an article on here called "This Ones For The Kids".
I heard a message tonight on my walkman while walking talking about the negtives of parents. We have become such a selfish society in general that children are not considered Blessings anymore. He said that the birthrate is lower now than it was during WWII.
he stated that 59% of women tody choose not to have children via abortion, sterilization, hysterectomy etc.
Note how Jabez was cursed by his mother from birth and no mention of a father, performing his 9-5 that was not meant for him.
"God" Bless!
