What's On My Mind


It's funny how these gangsters/killers are so hardcore until they're sentenced to death or life with no parole, then they fall out in the courtroom.

Opposites DO NOT Attract


Introvert-Extrovert
Saver-Spender
Homebody-Socialite
What do these couples have in common? NOTHING. A relationship cannot & will not last if you have two different people. Stop saying opposites attract because that's false.

What's On My Mind: Episode 1


What's On My Mind? In other cultures, it's not uncommon for children to live with their parents in order to build wealth, but it's frowned upon in American households. So much value is placed on independence and while I agree one should be self-sufficient, in this economy it's becoming more common for adult children to either move back with their parents to save money or inherit the parents' home after the parents die, therefore never having to leave home. It's no surprise why Asian, Latino/Hispanic & Cuban, Italian families are among the wealthiest in the world because they all pool their money together. It's usually black people shading other blacks who are financially stable enough to live independent, but would rather live with parents to help them out and save money for whatever reason. I said all that to say this: It's nobody's business why someone chooses to live at home with their parents, especially since you're not feeding or clothing them. Who are you that someone has to impress by having your own house, job, and car? SMH, cut the crap.

Where's Men's Accolades

Why do women get credit for progressing in life whereas men are expected to be stable? That doesn't make sense. I get it, some women have fought hard for their success and should be commended, but if you're healthy and have the right drive, you should be able to make moves for yourself. A man is expected to have a career & home by a certain age; no one gives him credit because that's what he's supposed to; A single mother raising children on her own gets her Bachelor's and Master's Degrees is given red-carpet treatment. There are other single moms doing the same, but they don't look for credit because they're doing what they do for a better life for their children. Their gift is their child(ren) excelling in life. My point is this: If men don't get props for bettering themselves, neither should women.

Not Enough Of A Good Thing


Before the relationship, he told her sex was not important to him; she should have paid attention. Ms. Duracell Bunny needs another Duracell Bunny so they can sex like rabbits 24-7. She is 35, so she's in her prime. Just by reading this letter, they want different things: He wants to get to know her before he goes there sexually with her, and she's horny. She says "there has to be mental stimulation before I go there with a man." Really? Not from what I can tell. From the provocative pics & videos to sexual trash talk, I don't see any mental stimulation anywhere in this letter. She has the right to want what she wants, but I think she needs to break up with this man because they want different things out of the relationship.

Defined By The Opposite Sex

I get it, men love women. What's not to love about a respectable woman who has her affairs in order, in addition to her relationship with God? The problem lies in some men who are so incensed by women, they're willing to sacrifice his manhood for one. In 2016, that's called simping. Now, I'm all for showing respect to women, but I'm against men who break their necks trying to get noticed by one. From paying her bills to taking care of her children, and basing his entire life on being validated by women, these dudes need to cut it out. Men who seek validation from women are as bad as women seeking validation from men. If a woman doesn't approve of him, he gets in his feelings. Some of these guys will go as far as killing themselves if a woman doesn't check for him. The way my self esteem is set up, I could care less if a woman notices me or not. If she likes what she sees, great. If not, life goes on.
Men should never let themselves be defined by the opposite sex's approval.

Supporting The Worst

Do some blacks realize how stupid they sound co-signing the criminal element in the black community? It must be a social media thing because whenever blacks discuss the black community's dismal state, some blacks defend the criminal element. In the black community, if you don't side with killers, drug dealers and gangsters, you're considered a COON. Well, I and other likeminded blacks will embrace that coon title proudly. It's idiotic logic like this which is why I don't go to many places where blacks are the majority, because there's always some foolishness going on. If a black person supports the inner-city criminal element, they're a disgrace to the black community.

Haha, you're struggling

This tweet is the clean version of what I originally planned on writing. We all have struggled, are struggling or will struggle at some point in life. No one's immune to hard times, so why laugh at someone's misfortune? People who laugh at others' misfortunes have poor character. I say that because any decent human wouldn't laugh at someone's struggle because they know it could be them. Then again, we live in a foul world so there are people who are that pathetic to laugh at someone's misfortune. These are the same people who would be in their feelings if someone laughed at their struggle(s). I'll take it one step further: People who laugh at others misfortune are failures in life.

W.B. Ward: The Builder Of Men

Published author W.B. Ward has a FB page called The Builder Of Men, where it gives valuable information on how men can better themselves. As noted, the information is common sense (he admits this himself), but from what I see, some men have forgotten what manhood so this website (The Builder Of Men) is a good place to start. It's painful to see so many broken men. Look at the millions of men who populate the criminal justice system; most of them wouldn't be locked up if they had the proper male influence coming up. What if there's no father present in a boy's life to show him how to be a man? A boy's first example of manhood comes from his father, and if there's no dad present to show him how to be a man, then there needs to be strong father figures available (uncle, coach, mentor, etc.) to show him the way. A woman can't teach a boy about manhood because she's not a man, so one shouldn't be confused by what some single moms may say otherwise. 
I've said for the longest that manhood is on the decline because some men have forgotten the proper standards of manhood. Back in the day, men didn't gossip about other men behind their backs. If a man had issue with another man, he brought his grievance to that man face-to-face. Now, dudes gossip about each other like women and they wonder why some women have no respect for some of them. Well, how can a man expect a woman to respect him if he's carrying on like a woman? She can't, and won't (as she shouldn't.) I especially enjoy the Physical Fitness aspect of W.B. Ward's Builder Of Men website because if a man's on point physically, he'll be on point in other areas of his life. This is why I dedicate myself to a consistent 4-5 day weekly fitness routine of 20 minute cardio followed by powerlifting style strength training at my gym. It's tough, but I feel great afterwards. Those who are serious about becoming better men should visit the author's website (located in the first paragraph of this blog). I've had a good foundation on manhood, but I'm all ears in seeing manhood from another man's perspective. Salute to my classmate and published author W.B. Ward.

Stay Authentic

I've never understood why some people go out of their way to fit in with everyone. It's like some people will sacrifice authenticity for fitting someone's mold, and that shouldn't be. Whatever happened to being yourself? Some folks talk a good game about how they're so real, but you'd never know because they're one way alone, and another way around others. The only acceptable time where you have to fit the mold is in the business world. You can't bring street mentality into a corporate environment because your colleagues will look at you like you're crazy. Most times, the very people you're trying to fit in with are the same ones that'll find some way to reject you, so it's not worth trying to fit anyone's mold.

I'm Difficult & Proud

What is some people's obsession with being difficult? Everywhere you turn, someone's bragging about being difficult. They wear it as a badge of honor. At least they're honest about who they are, which makes it easier for most sensible people NOT to deal with them. Bragging about being difficult is NOT a good look for one reason: Generally, people don't like difficult people. Difficult people are always in conflict with others and are good at deflecting. They say, "You can't handle my brash personality." No one with sense should. In fact, I dislike difficult people and choose not to be around them. Living in the world, difficult people are a part of life so if I have to interact with them, I keep interaction to a minimum.

Venturing Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Being in your comfort zone isn't all bad. After all, everyone has their comfort zone they don't like venturing out of. I believe the only time you should venture out of your comfort zone is if the reward outweighs the risk. If the risk is greater than the reward, then what sense does it make to leave your comfort zone? It doesn't.  Venturing out of your comfort zone at the wrong time is only setting you up for disappointment. Contrary to what some believe, there's nothing wrong with staying in your comfort zone if there's little to no benefit in venturing out. Before one thinks about leaving their comfort zone, they should examine the risk vs. reward benefit, and if the reward outweighs the risk, go out. If the risk outweighs the reward, (s)he might want to remain in their comfort zone.

Powder Puff Believers

You know what's worse than a hypocrite? A powder puff Christian. A powder puff Christian is one that's concerned with the world's approval instead of God's approval. These believers are scared to speak against unrighteousness because they don't want to be called judgmental or a bigot. These same Christians will talk about standing for what's right, but are scared to back it up. You know the ones who speak their mind in silence, but when confronted with opposing views, they switch up. Personally, I have zero respect for powder puff believers.
I'm finding my voice daily, and now I'm not shy about speaking my mind on immorality, no matter who may call me bigoted or judgmental. If standing for God means I'm a bigot/judgmental, I'll be that. It's better to stand with God and be judged by the world, than judged by God and stand with the world. I'll go one step further and say the world doesn't respect flip-flop Christians. Even though some secular people may never admit it, deep down they're looking for believers who have a concrete relationship with God, and it shows in the stand they take against unrighteousness.

Financial Security: Parents, How Far Are You Willing To Go?

This was too good NOT to repost as today's blog:

August 27 at 11:13am ·
I noticed the neighbor was selling his house so nosy me asks are you relocating???? Answer: No I'm not relocating, my daughter is attending FSU, so instead of taking out loans and her being in debt upon graduating or going into my personal savings to pay for college, the wife and I decided to sell our house, take the money, pay for her tuition, and buy a smaller home......... As a parent, how far are you willing to go in order to secure your child's future? Just something to think about for those who have kids.

This post shows the different mindset whites have as opposed to some blacks as it relates to financial security. If I'm blessed with children, I'm definitely willing to go this far to secure my child(ren)'s future. Think about it, my child(ren) may want to move out when they start college, so would there really be a need for a big house? No, unless my child(ren) tells me and mom (s)he wants the home for themselves and their future family (the house will already be paid for), then they can keep the big house while me and the Misses live in a smaller home. I'm looking ahead to when my child graduates & gets their first good-paying job. All my child will have to focus on is building their own financial portfolio while they're debt free. Part of raising responsible children entails doing whatever it takes to secure their future. Once the child(ren) gets old enough to do for self, they apply the lessons taught to their own lives.

Death Row

Is a death sentence worth it? The reason why I'm asking is because it seems like condemned inmates aren't being executed fast enough. It's almost not worth it to be sentenced to death because many inmates have been on Death Row for over a decade, and have yet to be executed. The appeals process is a contributing factor because too many innocents are executed after being found innocent. For the convicted, just execute them and keep moving. There's no sense in keeping a prisoner on Death Row longer than a decade, especially if it's obvious they committed the heinous crime. In 1984, South Central Los Angeles suffered from two gang-related mass murders.
#1. 3 Crips members executed Ebora Alexander and her family (including 2 young children). All 3 were caught, and the two gunmen were sentenced to death, and the driver got life with no parole. #2. Two Bloods members rained shotgun and rifle blasts upon partygoers, killing 5 youth and wounding 6 others. The second gang-related mass murder was dubbed the 54th St. Massacre, and was the worst incident of gang violence in L.A. history. The shooters were caught and charged with 5 counts of first-degree murder; one was sentenced to death and the other has yet to stand trial for 5 counts of 1st degree murder and 6 counts of attempted murder
I'm certain the other shooter has already stood trial for the 5 1st degree murder counts and 6 attempted murder counts, and most likely got a death sentence (as he should). Anyone who slaughters innocents the because of a gang vendetta should get the death penalty. These crimes took place 32 years ago, and the killers are STILL on Death Row. What's taking so long for the shooters in the aforementioned mass murder cases to be executed? Based on eyewitnesses and the jury, the shooters were guilty so execute them and get it over with. There's no way a convicted murderer should be on Death Row for over 20 years, especially if evidence shows they were guilty. Taxpayer money is being wasted to feed and house condemned killers.

Boyfriend Keeps Cell Phone In Pocket


 Why do some women insist on seeing their man's cell phone at the risk of being upset upon what's discovered? If you look for something, you're bound to find it. She set herself up to be upset when she looked through her man's phone and discovered another woman's number. I'm not condoning his actions because he's dead wrong. If you have to sneak around on your mate, why are you with them? It takes more work to cheat on your mate than it does to be honest. To be honest, she answered her own question (like many other Strawberry Letter writers do who write Steve about advice on cheating mates), but she's looking for justification. It's sad that some women feel that half a man is better than no man, which is why some of them tolerate cheating men. He's doing what she allows. If he knows he can get away with cheating on her, he will continue doing so because she doesn't have the guts to check him. She has the power to change her situation, and until she does, no advice will help her.

Real Talk Wednesday

 One of my FB friends posted a tweet that made me shake my head at society. She stated how people are throwing away lifelong friendships over political views. You have to be on some serious bullcrap to throw away a friendship based on political differences. I see why some people don't discuss politics & religion because those two subjects get people riled up, especially if some people are passionate about the political climate. I'm just as passionate as the next person about politics, but I couldn't see myself destroying a friendship because of political views. If people are willing to throw away friendships over political differences, there's no telling what else they'll throw away a friendship over. Well, there is, but you get my point.

Is Society & Today's Parents Too Soft On Children?

Credit goes to Katrina Taylor (FB Friend) for this topic. 

Is Society & Today's Parents Too Soft On Children? My response is: Yes. What today's children get away with would never be tolerated back in the day. At the same time, the family structure was intact back then as well, so while the father was providing, the mother was holding down the house. Fast forward to today, finances have made it tough for one parent to make the money while the other parent stays home and takes care of the child(ren). If you want evidence of today's children getting too many passes, look around: Children disrespecting their parents to the point of putting their hands on their parents. 
If you were raised by old-school black parents, they'll tell you how a black child wouldn't dare think about disrespecting their parents, let alone raising their hand to them. It wouldn't end well for that child. In my view, society has lost the village concept of raising children, where ALL adults looked out for the children in the neighborhood. If a child was caught misbehaving, that adult corrected the child AND told his/her parents. In 2016, an adult can see a disrespectful child and won't say anything because the parent will be in their feelings. "You don't tell me how to raise my child." From what I see, someone needs to.

Strawberry Letter: Cheating/Sexing Him


She knows right from wrong, why ask? Of course he doesn’t feel guilty about his infidelity. Most low character, low integrity, moral-less people don’t. That includes her since she continues to bonk another man knowing he's married. The worst part is that she got pregnant twice by this man, regardless of him living with another woman. This man is having his cake and eating it too with two women who lack self respect and dignity, because there’s no way that his so-called girlfriend doesn’t know or at least suspect that there’s another woman – especially a woman who he has fathered two children with.
Children are a product of their environment. They emulate what they know. If her children are girls, is this the example of womanhood she wants for them? How can she preach self-respect, self-love, dignity, and spiritual guidance when she lacks these qualities? If her kids are boys, is this the example these two people want to set for their son?
All I do is shake my head when I read these letters from women who continue to lower themselves to side-pieces to dishonorable men who feel entitled to disregard their vows to their wives/significant others for sex on the side. They do it because they CAN. They do it because there are women like her who willingly lower themselves as jumpoffs.

I awaken with this thought.
Good morning facebook !
Some individuals are so quick to say others are fake and phony, and there's not any true friends out there.
But my question is why do all the "fake" and "phony" friends keep coming your way?
If you're constantly among fake people and those that are always taking behind others' backs, then don't question others, QUESTION YOURSELF! People attract what they are; you can never ask for realness when you're fake! You get what you put out! You get fairness because you're fair!
The saying is "the grass on the other side may be greener, but that's because it's fake" But my question is to the FAKE always asking for real ... If you knew it was "fake" why did you leave your "REAL" to entertain the "fake?"
You can't have what you don't produce ! If you produce fake, you will reap fake.

Gabby Douglas' Hair Irks Some Black Women....AGAIN (SMH)

Some black women need to get them some business and stop worrying about Gabby Douglas. This isn't the first time black women have criticized Gabby about her hair. It's like this: Gabby is too busy winning gold medals to worry about her hair; she doesn't have time to constantly fix her hair after each event. In case these hens didn't realize, even if she gets her hair done, she's constantly sweating in competition so what sense would it make for her to have her hair done? ZERO. I'm over the nonsense perpetuated by some black women about Gabby Douglas' hair. If they're so concerned about her hair, why don't THEY do it? I'm sure Gabby would pay them. Some of these women probably have nothing going on for themselves so they talk about a girl's hair. However, I was glad some people on social media stood up for her, and told those critical women to get a life. Honestly, Gabby needs to GO IN one good time on everyone who has something to say about her hair. She should unload on her hair critics so serious that they won't think of saying something about her hair again.

Why Ask Why?

Why, why, why? Why did this person hurt me and so on? Do people really need an explanation for why people hurt them? They shouldn't, because the guilty person will rarely, if ever take responsibility for their offenses. They'll always find a way to deflect or offer some half-hearted apology. Some people are that foul, so the best course of action is to cut them loose and move on. Stop seeking an apology from someone who will most likely show no remorse for their actions. I'll never understand some people who continually confront their offender(s) looking for an apology for their wrongdoing against them. If someone hurts you, and they haven't made amends, it's a sure sign they don't care. Because they don't care, you're not as likely to get remorse from them. It's easier said than done, but like the Disney movie song from Frozen states: Let It Go, Let It Go.

Levels To Provision

When most people think of provision, it's always in the financial sense. Providing financially is part of what it means to be a provider. Because providing is Biblical, and the man is tasked with being a provider, then provision means a Godly man provides financially, spiritually and emotionally. When his wife is frustrated, he provides her with peace of mind to know that everything will be alright. His kids look to him to provide financially, to give his family a roof over their heads and clothes on their backs. From a spiritual standpoint, a man provides his family with a lasting spiritual foundation that continues after he leaves this world. I know the Bible has 800+ verses dealing with money so God obviously values money, but I think finances is at least 25% of what being a provider is all about.

Leaving Madness Behind

Everyone should do what's best for them, even if it may make others upset. Going further, who's someone to get upset at the choices you make that'll benefit you in the long run? That's crazy. If you're tired of the madness going on in your city, you have every right to plan your exit strategy. It's not running because you want to live in peace. In my opinion, it's foolish to stay in a chaotic environment because it's a matter of time before that chaos touches your life.

Greenleaf

Unlike some of my favorite programs, Greenleaf was so good I was hooked from the start. You can tell this show was well written from the acting to the storyline. Oprah could NOT have gotten a better line-up for this show, and I watch this show every night at 10pm Wednesday night. Personally, I wish this show would move to Friday or Saturday night at 8pm, but sometimes you have to save the best for last. What I like about Greenleaf is this show exposes the scars and secrecy that's prevalent in some black churches. This show teaches that it's nothing wrong with vulnerability, because your secrets will come out anyway. Too many black Christians try to appear high, holy & sanctified that it makes me want to vomit. Each character has their own scars and you can tell by some of the most touching scenes in the show.
Gigi should have known she would be found out about sleeping with Noah; she works at the church and word travels fast. Isabelle already knew Noah and Gigi slept together, and she didn't have to ask either one of them! Women have a strong sense of discernment that they know what's up. I called it that Charity knows her husband is gay, and it's just a matter of time before she finds out. Bishop got gangster on Mac. He got that gun ready, walked into the office all calm, and he was ready to shoot Mac. I really think on the next episode Bishop will shoot Mac unless Gigi intervenes (which she will, because she was already on her way to Uncle Mac's office at the end). Lady Mae KNOWS Mac violated those girls, but wants to live in denial.

Unsolicited Parental Wisdom

I said it, and I don't care who's slighted. If the stepparent is giving YOUR child(ren) what they should have gotten from you, what's the problem? At least someone cares enough about your child to give them a better shot in life. The problem is that some parents have done a horrible job of raising their child(ren), so they get upset when the stepmom/dad outshines them. By outshine, I mean the child is getting the love & support from the stepparent they never got from their biological parent(s).

Hearing From God: Men Vs. Women

Richard Hudson
August 1, 2012 ·
Thought Of The Day: When it comes to hearing from God, women blow men out of the water. I'm being honest. That's not to say that men don't hear from God because they do..it's just that women are more in tune with God because in a lot of families, women are the prayer warriors. They are the ones seeking God on behalf of their family. As much as I appreciate all the prayer warrior women, men need to step their game up. Another thing I've noticed is that women are more likely to surrender to God because they know he knows what's best. Men will fight tooth & nail with God until they get to a point where they allow God to do his thing. Until now, I've never understood why men have a harder time surrendering to God. Is it ego/pride? Yes, among other things. When a man surrenders to God, he acknowledges he doesn't have all the answers. That is the hardest thing for a man to do is admit he doesn't know everything.

Monday Thought: Stop Depending On Others For Salvation

Some people look for every excuse NOT to give their lives to Christ. The most common excuse is that Christians are hypocrites, so why should an unsaved person come to God when Christians aren't showing good examples of what it means to be Christlike? If you're basing your decision to get saved on whether a Christian is following Christ, you'll be disappointed every time. Your decision to come to God should be your choice, not contingent on someone else. Jesus isn't giving you a pass into Heaven because you rejected him on account of a believer not being a good example of Christianity.

Today's Thought

Thought Of The Day: Those who have won a major battle in their lives start feeling themselves a little too much. What I mean is that they'll act brand new with people struggling with the same problem THEY overcame. If you've conquered your demons and are trying to encourage someone else to do better, you can't use tough love with them like someone did with you because they may not receive it. You must reach folks on their level, and then raise them up to yours. Now, some people want you to do the work for them but that's not reality. Showing someone how to get on your level is far more valuable than doing the work for them, while they enjoy the benefits.

Divide & Thrive

One of my FB friends Robert Townsend uses this term as he posts hard-hitting social commentaries on the state of the Black community. He uses the terms Nigga class, Thug N****s to describe the degenerate portion of the black community that engages in criminal behavior. I've followed his page and I respect him for his stance of personal responsibility among blacks, advocating that the decent blacks separate themselves from the crime-prone ones. I really believe that in order for the black community to thrive, there needs to be a separation between the criminal-minded blacks and the decent, moral blacks. All one needs to do is look at black neighborhoods. There are two kinds of blacks in black neighborhoods: Straight Edge and Degenerate. The straight edge blacks are law-abiding, productive and responsible. These blacks are just trying to raise their children right even though they live in a war zone. The Degenerate blacks are the gang members, murderers, and jackers. These blacks don't want peace, they seek to steal, kill & destroy.

Due to financial constraints, the straight edge blacks are forced to share the same neighborhood with the criminal-minded ones, and unless the decent blacks get their money up to leave the hood, they may become crime victims by the hood element. I used to believe that law-abiding blacks could live among the criminal element without becoming victims, but now I don't. Even if an inner-city kid has the right influences, (s)he may be negatively influenced in some way. It's on that child to apply what was taught and continue making good choices. Ultimately, since there's no hope for the crime-prone blacks to change (with the exception of God), there must be division in the black community. The decent blacks can build with each other, create their own neighborhoods like back in the day. Leave the degenerate blacks to destroy themselves. Let them have their war-torn neighborhoods. This is called Divide & Thrive. If the decent blacks can divide themselves from the hood element, they can thrive in a peaceful environment.

Operation Safe Neighborhood: Tallahassee, FL

According to local news reports, Tallahassee is Florida's most dangerous city; ranking higher than Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, W. Palm Beach, Tampa/St. Petersburg, Orlando & Jacksonville. To me, that's odd that Tallahassee would be ranked higher in violent crime since it's smaller than the aforementioned cities. My question is that if Tallahassee is so deadly, why isn't it on First 48? The places I've mentioned above had some crimes make national news, and Tallahassee doesn't strike me as a hardcore crime city. Unfortunately, because of Tallahassee's billing as Florida's deadliest city, Operation Safe Neighborhood came into play. Operation Safe Neighborhood is a partnership between local churches, Tallahassee Police Dept. and the Mayor's office to combat the rising violence in the city. I've been a part of this since it started. Each month, TPD, local churches and the mayor walk the streets of violence-prone neighborhoods in Tallahassee to let residents know we care. Churches pray for residents' well-being in these hoods and invite them to church (if they don't have a home church already). So many inner-city residents complain about the violence in their hoods, but what are they doing to help combat the issue? Last Thursday, my church and myself partnered with several TPD officers and other churches to walk through Frenchtown (one of Tallahassee's roughest hoods), and one block in Frenchtown had 7 murders in the past month. Another murder there made the news in which a 16-year old stabbed an old man in his neck, and the man bled to death. The teen was caught and charged with 1st-degree murder (he has yet to stand trial). Being involved in making a difference in my city is priceless. As long as this initiative exists, I'll continue showing support.

Classic FB Post

Daily Thought: We all want to be right, whether it's in arguments, general discussion, etc. I wnat to be right, you want to be right and the next person wants to be right. In the long run, being right can lead to burnt bridges because nobody wants to fall back. Falling back would be too much like keeping peace. There's a time to speak up and there's a time to fall back. If I know I'm right, I don't have nothing to prove to you or anyone else. You want a gold medal for being right? Here You Go, now drop it.

Political Robbery

Social Media was on fire yesterday with memes & tweets about Melania Trump stealing Michelle Obama's speech. I've decided to post some tweets of my own regarding the situation:

A Biblical Response on Race

Dr. Tony Evans is the ONLY pastor who has spoken out against the racial turmoil in this country. I've always followed Dr. Evans' teachings, but when I listened to this sermon earlier this morning, it was just what's needed for these crazy times. My favorite part was when he talked about an older white gentleman who had a problem with more blacks coming to the church, and when the man said he didn't know if he could stay, Dr. Evans was like "Bye" nonchalantly. Agreed; racial division has NO BUSINESS in the church. Is there going to be a Whites/Blacks Only section in Heaven for believers? NO. Matter of fact, some believers won't make heaven with racial division in their heart unless they get rid of that with God's help. Listen to Dr. Evans message.

Sex Vs. Ring

This tweet is very true because all one has to do is look at some men & women's relationship dynamics. For the most part, a man has no problem getting action from random women. A woman who's looking for commitment has to work harder to find a guy on her level because she's not satisfied with being a man's sex toy. She's looking to build a life with her suitor. Depending on the woman, sex may come before/after marriage. A man wants nookie, the woman wants the ring. Guess who has to work harder for what they want? I'll Wait.

Open Marriage=Cheating

I read an article about Mo'Nique and her husband having an open marriage, and the crazy thing is that Mo'Nique suggested the idea. According to them, having an open marriage fosters honesty because you're not keeping your mate in the dark as to who you're seeing (if anyone). I don't know too many women who would be ok with an open marriage, and why should they? Marriage is elementary: One Man=One Woman. Nowhere in marriage is there an "open marriage" clause. Let me say this: Open marriage=cheating. I don't care how anyone tries to justify it, it's cheating. If you have to step outside of your so-called marriage in order to get your needs met, then you don't have much of a "marriage" to begin with, let alone failed at picking the right person. When you take someone as your husband/wife, you're trusting them to meet your needs. You see in them what you can't see in anyone else. 
Ashley Lauren Whitlock Exactly, to me it's an excuse to make you feel better about cheating openly.
That's exactly what this open marriage foolery is, an excuse to cheat under the guise of "honesty". I already have a low view of relationships anyway, and reading the article about Mo'Nique and her husband's open marriage confirmed it. Marriage has become polluted that it's no longer sacred anymore.

I Don't Go To Church Because...

"I don't go to church because the people are phony & judgmental"
But you go to work & school with the same phonies everyday, so cut the crap. Just admit you don't want to go to church. Besides, too many people go to church for people anyway. Some people forget that church is a place of worship. When you're in the sanctuary, your focus is on God, not man. You get fed spiritually, and walk it out in your daily life. I'm tired of some people getting slighted with the church because they went for people instead of God. If you're going to church for people, you will be disappointed. There's no limit to people's excuses for choosing not to go to church.

Praying Times For God's People

Richard Hudson 
5 mins 
When I heard about Alton Sterling and Philando Castile being shot down, it was a matter of time before some Christians started screaming prayer. I know the power of prayer and it's gotten me through serious trials. At the same time, you have to put action behind prayer. Not everyone's saved, so how can folks expect unsaved folks to pray in trying times? They're not. The world is about action, not prayer. What's going on with the Downtown Dallas Massacre (the 14 people shot, and 5 officers who died yesterday) and just recently the Alton Sterling and Philando Castile situation, people are fed up. When you're tired of seeing your people mistreated, if you can't get justice through the criminal justice system, the next best thing (according to some people) is to take the law into your hands, which is what some people are doing. Unsaved people aren't trying to hear nothing about prayer. Another thing, God calls HIS people to pray, not the world (2 Chronicles 7:14).
A few incidents:
1. Man sent to jail after threatening to kill police in Bossier City, LA. He must know that the feds are heavy on social media, so he was delusional to think he wasn't going to be arrested for threatening law enforcement on social media, smh.
2. Another policeman shot down in Valdosta, GA. This was yesterday.
3. A Houston officer (allegedly, because we don't know what led up to the person getting blasted) shoots unarmed black person.
Those 5 officers exterminated in DT Dallas yesterday are fresh in the minds of many, as is Alton Sterling & Philando Castile. If police didn't have a target on their backs before, they have one now.

Part 1: RIP, Pro-Police and Black Lives Matter

Disclaimer: If you're expecting anti-police rhetoric in my post, you will be disappointed because I don't go for that. Just like every profession, you have your good & bad, but unfortunately the bad can mess it up for everyone. I'll take it one step further, I'm expecting to be called a coon, Uncle Tom, or whatever just because I won't get on the "I Hate Police" train. Or, just do yourselves a favor and delete me. I've never cared about being deleted and I'm not about to start now.

Every time a black man is shot down in the street, there are three groups of people: 1. The Black Lives Matter Crowd-These are the people who shout Black Lives Matter WHEN it comes to an officer shooting an unarmed black person. These same people turn a blind eye to the black-on-black genocide going on in the hood. Do you see BLM protesting against inner-city violence? Negative, but they're out there when a cop is investigated for killing an unarmed black person. Black Lives MUST matter to blacks before they matter to anyone else, period.
2. Pro-Police crowd-These types support law enforcement officers, good and bad. They understand there are good cops who do right, but sometimes overlook the corrupt officers. For the people saying how the police should pull out and let residents of ghetto neighborhoods fend for themselves, how do you think that would go over? I'll wait. Even though many inner-city residents distrust the police, deep down they'll still call the police when they're a victim. All that "F The Police" propaganda is just that, PROPAGANDA. You can be pro-police and expect law enforcement to be held accountable for misconduct.
3. RIP-This group makes statuses saying RIP Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, etc. when the majority don't know those people personally. Let's Be Clear: My heart goes out to Alton Sterling and Philando Castile's families. Black Men had prices on their heads for decades now, and it started with removing the father from the home (The only way black women could get public assistance was if the father wasn't in the home). Everyone wants to say RIP for fallen black men, but what about RIP for INNOCENT officers? Most of the time, the shooter(s) take out innocents instead of the actual perpetrators. The innocents didn't kill that man, so why do they have to die? That mess is foul.

Hillary Clinton: No Charges Filed In E-Mail Investigation

 
I've never trusted Hillary Clinton from Day 1, and with good reason: She's too secretive. In politics, there is no such thing as privacy because every move you make is open for scrutiny. From the media looking for any reason to showcase faults to opponents waiting for you to slip so they can destroy you, politics is rough. The FBI ordered the release of Hillary Clinton's e-mails, correct? My thing is, why did it take Hillary so long to release the e-mails? Because she's got something to hide. If some people were investigated by the Feds, they should have no problems submitting what the Feds want to know because some people would say, "I've got nothing to hide. They can seek, but they won't find." When FBI Director James Comey said no charges will be sought, two things came to mind: 1. Comey was told to let Hillary off and 2. Hillary probably bribed top federal officials in exchange for no charges being brought forth. 
Donald Trump let loose on Hillary Clinton this morning. He said what many Americans were thinking: Hillary is dishonest, she's not forward enough and we don't need that in a commander-in-chief. I feel this will hurt Hillary's chances for becoming president because if she managed to cover up the e-mail investigation, there's no telling what else she's got to hide. Trump has his faults too, but you know where he stands. He's no-nonsense, and I respect that. Even the public has caught onto her deception, with polls mentioning how conniving she is. If the public realizes how conniving Hillary is, and they vote for her regardless, then they support deception in politics. When you're a politician, you're a public figure. You have no privacy because you have to be in the public eye in order to represent the people.

There Are No Shortcuts To Success: Mark J. Cooper

One of my FB friends dropped this gem. In short, there are no shortcuts to success. Read Below

June 30 at 3:30pm · Indianapolis, IN ·
Just a RANDOM observation:
Way too many of my people want to "shine" without the grind and even more want to learn shortcuts to success versus becoming a student of their craft... whatever that craft may be... in order to achieve sustainable success..
But once that fragmented journey for success fails, they aren't willing to learn, develop and grow into their ordered success because they refuse to EARN it by a sequential methodology... so their failure oftentimes is catastrophic.

Boosie Speaks


One of my FB friends tagged me in the above video. Rapper Lil Boosie (Torrance Hatch) is talking about how frustrating it is that he's taxed $350K for every million he makes. Two points: 1. The more money you make, the more taxes you pay. It's been like that forever, so I don't know why folks are in their feelings. 2. The government is like the mob: Highly structured. When it comes to money, the top level gets the bulk of the money, and what's leftover trickles down to the underlings. When you become a millionaire, you start a corporation and file yourself as a employee for tax breaks.
