No Free Speech

If free speech was really free, there wouldn't be repercussions for some of the stuff people say. Roseanne cost others and herself a job because of her racist rant. Free Speech is free under certain conditions.

Getting Too Attached

I live by this because one day, people think highly of you, and the next day they dislike you. Some people are fickle, so it's best not to get too attached to their approval.

Never get too attached, cause people wake up with different feelings everyday.

John Gray New Church First Day Relentless Church

When I heard about John Gray taking over Apostle Ron Carpenter's church, I was happy for him because anyone familiar with Pastor Gray knows he was the Associate Pastor for Lakewood Church in Houston, TX. I like Pastor Gray because he's himself; he doesn't try to be anyone other than who God made him.

Steve Harvey Responds To Being Called A Coon

Steve Harvey Responds To Being Called A Coon

Let some of us (blacks) tell it. A black person can't think for themselves, they have to be pro-black 100% or else (s)he's a coon, Uncle Tom, Sambo, sellout, etc. If having your own mind equals being a coon, I'll be a proud coon because I refuse to go along to get along. I have my own mind and will exercise it as I see fit. I get it with black people, it's like if you don't hate who they hate, they call you all types of coons, Uncle Tom's and sellouts. Mess like this is why I don't take many pro-blacks seriously because if they're not blaming white people for their lot in life, then they're criticizing fellow black people who are trying to change things. Like it or not, Steve is right. BLACK people who aren't as fortunate or don’t want to do much for themselves, tend to degrade another Black person who is doing something and/or changing things.... Bottom line, if Steve wants to make a change and his help will come from Trump funding, so be it.... I don’t see MANY of our people running to do the same in their own communities; if there is then there are only a few. The donor (Trump) might not be right but the agenda at hand is. Also, it can’t be more than this Trump incident. Our people degrade him and can’t give good reasons why. Is it because he doesn’t live in the hood? Is it because he lives wealthy as a byproduct of his life, drive and determination to achieve? All I have to say, if our people have so much negative things to say about him or what he’s doing.... YOU do something and being a keyboard terrorist isn't how you start. You start with a plan.... Kinda like what Steve said above! Our people kill me! Lazy and don’t want to do anything but tear the next man or woman down because of their own lack. It's sad that a black person can get more support from someone of another race than their own. I'm to the point where there needs to be a separation in the black community: Blacks who want to build and prosper need to break away from the critical, crabs-in-a-bucket, violence-prone blacks who are content with shooting & killing each other in the violence-filled ghettos. 

MeToo

Ever since Bill Cosby went down for sexual assault, other high-profile stars have been busted for sexual misconduct by women. The MeToo movement serves to empower women to come forward about their sexual assault experiences. Sexual assault is a terrible thing & if someone is guilty, they should be punished, regardless of status. At the same time, the MeToo movement can cause any woman to come forward with a sexual assault claim against a man she's into it with. If a woman wants to ruin a man's life, all she has to do is say she was raped, and he's done. Men can't come at women any kind of way in 2018 with this MeToo movement gaining more traction. My advice to men is be cautious of your interactions with women because the last thing you want is a sexual assault charge on your record.

Due to the MeToo movement, men have to change how they interact with women.

Prayer First, Then Action

There's a reason why the Bible says "Faith without works is dead", and that's because God wants his children to put in work behind their prayers. You can't ask God for a job without putting in your resume, just like you can't ask God to help you get out of debt without putting money aside to pay off your debts one by one. It's levels to this.

Thought For Today: Keep Forgetting

For those who forget about you until they need something from you...keep forgetting.
