I remember when I memorized the "I Have A Dream Speech" for an English class back in Junior college. I was the only black in the class. I had mixed feelings especially since doing a previous paper on the Trail of Tears" about the equally horrors of those Indians routed to scrap lands...
I remember while at FAMU a black Psych male professor and a black Psych female professor in seperate classes stated negative things about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. My cordial and tactful response to them was "What have You died for lately", I was also commenting about their comments in books about M.L.K. that they had writeen that sold a few hundred copies maybe because M.L.K. name was in it for bashing.
They had no response but the class sure did with positive voices.
I plan to listen to a CD of M.L.K. speeches when I go home today, someone was throwing it out and asked me did I want it.
I have been writing or working on a series abour gossip, envy folks etc. I refer to them as Sadducees and Pharasees of the same spirit of people that had "Jesus" killed.
They taked about him after death also.
Abernathy the dude that followed the coat tales of M.L.K. wrote about alleged promiscuity of what he stated was his best friend.
With friends like that I choose hell 1st...
Those are the same type of fake friends Job had. Funny...
I have asked a question that I use regularly with people, "If You were in contemporary times with King David, what would You say about him? Probably what I would say, well he slept with a man's wife, had her husband killed, was a bad father etc. but he could sure kick tail and I am living prosperously because of him....
I might would have been killed by the same "God" that took out all King David's enemies and the enemies David allowed to live, David advised his son Solomon to take them out just like a modern time scene out of the "God Father".
There are so many rights we enjoy because Of M.L.K. So many that people take for granted today.
I know M.L.K. would be appalled at how the white industry that is the corporate force behind gangsta rap but fake thugs make money but the corporations make much more and quite a few sistahs on those video's and all the sistah's that seek a thug.....
Wow, we have come a long way from the last great era of black leadership.
Hey even our present day leaders who tell us how to live straight and I voted for President have babies momma's i.e Jesse Jackson.
Yes I know we all have our faults except those perfect people...... I have mine own, but as a person told me and I have heard many times at the perplexing of my own mind is somebody should be setting the example.
But hey let me stop here, telling the truth gets many nowhere at the competition of a society that accepts lies by males which are the ones cheating, making babies and burning up sistahs etc.
And what was I saying about Rhichard Pryor?
Well if there was someone who was not rich, used a lot of curse words, called females the B-word and hoes, made babies, used dope, etc. in the name of just joking to get a message across he would be bashed by many people. Especially religious folk. But hey if he got $$$$ behind his name he gets the applause of most.
I liked Rhichard Pryor also, saw his movies, laughed etc.
Now we have the credit to say a host of new genre comics followed behind him like Eddie Murphey, Steve harvey, I can't remember his name that hosted def comedy jam, Coco(I do like that girl), Monique etc.etc. Profanity, body parts, s*xs*xs*x, sucking this and that, blahblahblah.
Those that followed in Mr. Pryors footsteps live his lifestyle, I might add mixed marriages also(just adding in the symptoms of the lifestyle.
Hey people love Martin and applaud and overlook the gun on his wife incident, but let a brotha use his past to point out a message, using spiritual before, after, consequences, etc. He is deemed offensive by a sistah or brotha as fake as their hair/toupee...
A spiritual man gets more hate than they do by the same who call themselves religionists.
So I speak not of Rhichard but of the syndrome.
Now on t.v., lets not even talk about BET where even the news was removed for more videos.
I saw a mother that had a daughter who had a daughter that was in video stripper movies encouraging her daughter to strip. The stripper sistah was not getting paid...
I have said if Juanita Bynum were broke, and had "No More Sheets" out, talking about how she spread and had to go get her body parts from all over the U.S.A and even went so vivd to say "I was so broke, I had to go to McDonald's to get tissue paper for my menstrual cycle". Religionists shout HALLELUJAH to that. I like Juanita Bynum and her sister Janice walked up to me to meet after I spoke at a Men and Womens seminar over the summer. Juanita's office is located here in waycross. I applaud the realness of Juanita and say the fake religionists that would down her if she were broke, are butt kissers.
Yes I said that...
When I have a few more cents behind my name, a few more folk will like me as well...
I found scripture that encourages to speak out also but I forgot where it is presently Lol!
Anyway just my 2cents worth on the last great black leader I have known.
Lets see what Barak Osama (I hope I spelled that right) does and I miss Bill Clinton and yes he was wrong in the white house with the girl that is not as dumb as many want her to be to berate Clinton...
Bush? No comments about a Republican party where the white folks are coming down heavy on the latest scandal where all those congressman that are republicans are getting paid off by a Washington insider but some black uncle toms defend even though white folk are condemning and...
Crabs in a bucket are the same black folks that ran to massa to say we in trouble boss that Nigra thinks to high of himself (Envy people and jealousy folks), those are the same spirit of people that ran to white folks to sell out Malcolm X, M.L.K. etc.
There will always be black folk that run to white folk to bring info back to the black community to try to destroy positive black folk and .....
If shoe fits wear it on stank feet, if the heart stank I can't imagine good spiritual hygiene.
Well at least I'm being me...
p.s. Youth are fed up with watered down fake facade older folk ain't neva done nuthing etc.
The daughters are dating updated 60's versions of some fathers and doing what mama did with the same spirits but worse beatings.
I heard T.D. Jakes speak and state people have to have a realness about You to aspire to do better.
hey I would get a standing applause and a $100,000 check with luxuries if I had a big name. I'll just let a well known speaker say the same things and watch the same few critic folk amen and hallelujah them.
By the way, I have decied to seek my higher education in Religion also online while I am still doing everything I fight/struggle to do.
I care not for titles, call me William always. I promise this oath that I will always stay real.
"God" made me that way.
My wife will come also, the one that means what she says about tired of dealing with males who lie to her and hold my honesty higher than the lies that those males who practise the down low stuff that many sistahs complain about in desiring a real man. Sistahs that get burnt over and over and over but pass up truth until wore down and then they want the good man and when the good man does not want them back because.... The sistahs have an attitude with him because for 1 of many things, he wants his own children and not all of her children. Thats selfish on their parts. They have done their dirt, want you to accept it and then tell you not to have children.
Lets not get into chivalry is not dead, there are some sistahs that will curse me out...
Hey this is what I learned from M.L.K. and I have the rights to do it.
Just my 2cents worth.
Hope all had an awesome M.L.K. holiday weekend.
Sincerely
William
:-)
p.s. By the way, we need to stop letting everyone else dictate what we should be, how we should be, when we should be, who our leaders are, etc.etc.etc.
But we all have those house negro syndrome fake facade folk that mess it up for all.
You know the yessum boss folk....
You know don't step out of their limited self minded box because they aren't.
Did I ever state I slip up with a bad word every now and then but am much better than I used to be because I cursed soo much from what I had learned and when I stopped I would stutter because I had to learn to put nouns and verbs in there and.
I am giving some pharasees and sadducees fuel on purpose who may want to write the University that I am applying for My Masters in Divinity so they can do whats best for "God" and...
People on here who I have talked with on the phone on occassion, email periodically etc. etc.etc. know where I am coming from.
many do not realize it but I say what many want to say and take the heat so they can be who they are.
I am coming back up to speed now with the Blessings of "God" and so many angels male and females I have met her.
I love to read the blogs of Bro. Rick and Bro. Hodges. There are some deep Married Women and deep Married Men who have things to say in what I post as Theory in relation to relationships until I live it with her...
There are Many Deep brilliant young in chronological years only intelligent Men and Women that far exceed the grey hairs of some that are fools. I have scripture for that also.
I miss some of Your blogs also.
Some who post deep and use expletives, well I used to curse admittedly in front of my Minister back home that is my older cousin like a older brother to me that has saved my life quite a few times, but hey don't admit this to some folk...
I wish to see some others that are awesome writers.
I have been told by people they aspire to be like me. I tell them each generation is built to do far more than the previous generation, look at what all those sons did after those great forefathers like David and Solomon, Elijah and Elias, "God" and "Jesus" etc.etc.etc.
I am the one keeping up with You until my time is done and You run farther than I could ever imagine. "Jesus" stated and You will do greater things than I. Of course always through "Jesus", "God" and the Holy Spirit.
Remember "Jesus" in human form did not use the internet, cars, airplanes etc.
Feel me?
An old saying for 1 or 2 to take out of context, "I just can't do anything short".
Apologies for a long blog if viewed that way by those who don't blog but can do better with thei stuff...
