Charleston Black Church Massacre: Is The Shooter's Family Victims?

When those 9 victims died at the hands of Dylann Roof in Charleston, people had every right to side-eye the judge when he said "There are victims in Dylann Roof's family" Ummmm....I don't see how Roof's family can be victims when those 9 people died at Dylann's hands. The only victims are the families of those 9 people who died in that church massacre. Dylann's family is not a victim, so let's cut the crap with saying "There are victims in this young man's family." It's stupid...seriously. One more thing, any racial progress that was made, might further divide this country even more. Now, whites will feel uncomfortable visiting a black church, and blacks will automatically assume ALL white people are prejudice scum (Personally, I don't believe that, but I can't say the same for other blacks). Ferguson, Baltimore, and now the Charleston church massacre. I hate what he did, but I don't hate him. I just feel more sympathy for the victims' families than I do for the shooter's. I hate to see innocent folks suffer.

ZING!

Your life will get better when you realize it's better to be alone than chase people who don't really care about you.

Good Shall Prevail: Jeannine Carswell

All of my Facebook friends are dropping fire so much that I may have to promote their content on my blog all year. Jeannine is one of my closest Facebook friends, who I've known for years on a previous social networking site before Facebook. Here is what she has to say about the Charleston Church Shooting:

Jeannine Carswell

So I just got home and am now able to watch the coverage of this horrendous Church Shooting. Apparently, it's true that this was a racially motivated incident. And you know what I have to say about that?? OBAMA.

All of these incidences kicked up 1000 notches AFTER Obama became President. Him being Black has truly sent all these closet racists into a complete and utter FRENZY. They are panicked and full of hatred and acting out! It's time to quite BSing about this! All these police shootings, and now these church killings, etc....this certainly is NOT all a coincidence. There is a difference between being Diplomatic and being in Denial. We are truly reliving the 1960's here and this is not a joke, not something to be blown off, and NOT at all something to repeat! This story is absolutely disgusting to me.

But we must remember - there is ALWAYS a push-back from those who are Evil, before the Good actually prevail and change occurs. History tells us this. So it's plain and it's clear...that it is truly time for us younger generations (of ALL races) to "grab the torch" from those before us and see this f*cking fight through to the end. NO PAIN, NO GAIN RIGHT? Don't let lives lost be in vain. The corruption must stop, and it will!

Dr. Umar Johnson Is In Love With A Stripper

Dr. Umar Johnson, the Prince Of Pan-Africanism as he calls himself, is one of the most outspoken public figures in the black community. He was recently exposed for chasing a stripper, which some say was out to bring him down from the very start; and did she ever. Because this "conscious stripper" brought Dr. Umar Johnson down, his credibility may be shot. Read the following article for more information: 

Dr. Umar Johnson Exposed

This topic has gone viral on Facebook, as it has generated 100+ comments in a FB group I'm active in. Let me post some of the comments on this topic:

Maurice Wilkerson-I don't feel sorry for him or men that make dumb and reckless choices when they know what can happen.

Tammie Jones- I mean, can we really hold a stripper accountable for being scandalous? It's a stripper for Pete's sake, are we really expecting her to have integrity? She's not bogus, she's being true to herself, Dr Umar on the other hand.......

Kelli Michel'e-A wise man once told me: "Avoid dealing with people who have nothing to lose. There's no reason for them to not bring you to their level." And he was right.

Kelli Michel'e-I believe anyone intent on destroying any movement meant to empower Black people, and in her case, empower her three fatherless sons is bogus. But she's been that...it's definitely not new. Lol He's just reaping exactly what he's sown.

Freedom Reigns-Personally I think some of us put people up on a higher scale, and we expect them to do and act in a certain manner, because some of us can't showcase what we expect leaders to do. And when they don't, some of us get mad and tear them down for the same shit we do.

Wonderful Watson Keep in mind what you say and do can heavily influence those who contribute to your cause (i.e., sponsors).

Richard Hudson-If you're an influential person, why would you put yourself in compromising situations? People should know better. Leaders have a bull's-eye on their back; people are waiting for them to slip, and look what he did, he did JUST what people wanted him to do. As a leader, you're held to a higher standard.

Jerome Bolden Hes a man, like everyone else he is flawed, this by no way excuses him using poor discretion but his vision heart and drive is in the right place as far as building this school, human error is just THAT! We gotta quit using what we know we all fall short of. To Jeff Green point its really no crime, hes a man that likes what men likes, now if he was married then you can look at him sideways, he a single man doing what single men do, it just cost him this time.

I would still support his cause because the cause is much bigger than the indiscretion, except us as moronic human beings wanna make the indiscretion > cause

Richard Hudson-It doesn't change the fact that when you're in the public eye, all eyes are on you. Booty has brought down some of the most powerful men of all time, and still some of these thirsty weak negros don't learn. This chick was looking for a reason to come up, and guess what? She came up at his expense. She had nothing to lose, and she brought this man down.

Wonderful Watson Repeat (loudly)...LACK OF PHALLIC CONTROL IS VERY EXPENSIVE!!! Brothers...How many of you know men personally who lives have been RUINED over what some of you simply refer to as a "PIECE OF ASS"???? When will we as a collective group of human beings burn it into our minds that tapping the wrong piece of ass can cost you more than you bargained for? It's not about whether a crime was committed or not. It's not about being perfect or not. HECK, this isn't even about being human. THIS is about making sure that the most powerful organ that is used is the one between your ears and not the one between your legs.

Wonderful Watson This is my last statement. I LIKE booty...a lot!! I like the way it looks and feels. However, I refuse to allow that delicious and succulent booty cost me my marriage, home, livelihood, reputation and dignity. With all of the great things I can say about the booty, it just ain't worth all of that.

K Nichole Jones-So wait.....if this were a prominent and high-profile woman who got caught up with some gigaho, low-life, we would blame her and say she should have known better. There would be no excuses and saying "she's human". But because he is a man, he gets a pass for using poor judgment??? GTHOHWT!!

Vince Carthane Private life does matter when u a public leader or seeking to be a leader because if you can't be loyal to your wife or loyal to what you teach, why should the public trust u to be loyal to them???

Freedom Reigns-Esli Lafeuillee today's men aren't the same as they were generations ago, the thinking process, how we used to bond as men, etc. Everything is different. Some men nowadays cant even tell their women how they really feel, without repercussions. I understand exactly where you coming from, but being a Man today isnt how it used to be. They say humans are the smartest species. But are We really?

Richard Hudson-As long as some men continue succumbing to their flesh, they will continue to pay in more ways than one. But hey, it's not my business that some men are dumb enough to throw away everything they've worked for over some tail. 

The fact remains that a public figure has no private life. Everything (s)he says and does is up for scrutiny. I swear some of these men are something else; they act like booty is a powerful drug like Molly. Like, they're going to die if they can't get booty.

I'll tell you what: A man has the right to get all the booty he wants, but he must understand it comes with a cost. Baby mama drama.

The original thread had over 100 comments, but these are some of the comments that stood out to me. My belief is that as a public figure, you're under greater scrutiny. What may seem innocent to you, won't be to others, so that's why it's important to watch everything you say and do because there are people waiting for a public figure to foul up, and they swarm in like pirahnas with criticism. I get that no leader is without faults, they're human just like you and me. Leadership is about leading by example, and if a leader can't govern his/her life with discretion, how can (s)he lead others? They can't because they don't have their personal lives in order.

Video: Gender Identity Curriculum Angers Parents in Virginia

The following video is exactly why I'm glad I don't have children, because if I did, THEY would NOT be taught this filth & I don't care who's slighted. If I'm putting my children in school, I'm expecting that they be taught relevant material to help them succeed in this world. I don't see how being taught about sexual perversion is helping children. Let some of these clowns tell it: The government has the right to teach what they feel is correct. That's the problem: The government can't determine it's own moral state, so how can they dictate children's morality? They can't because a lot of government officials are crooked. Parents will soon have to make the harsh decision to educate their children in groups (Christian groups) for those that decide this is how they want their children raised. Officials sound stupid saying "Parents won't be able to opt out". First off, parents have every right to do what they feel is best for their children, and if they don't want their kid exposed to filth, they have the right to pull them out of this course, which is what I think will happen. If some Christian parents do nothing, then that means they co-sign their children being exposed to perversion.  It's not about teaching "tolerance", it's about exposing kids to sexual perversion far too early. LET THEM BE KIDS. The government can take prayer out of schools, but co-sign children being taught filth in schools. The crazy thing is, some of these clowns are going to say Christians are being "bigoted" if they speak out against this foolishness. Well, I'll be that bigot since I'm not co-signing this nonsense.

The goal is to teach students about homosexual, bisexual, and transgender identity."Starting in kindergarten, students will be taught about same-sex or gay marriage and the parents will not be able to opt out," Andrea Lafferty, president of the Traditional Values Coalition, told CBN News.MORE: http://go.cbn.com/877**Please join us in praying for the public school system.

Daily Motivation

One of my Facebook friends posted this on her page, so I felt like sharing it.

Daily Motivation

Energy to move forward

Your burdens feel heavy because they are. They weigh you down and hold you back, but there is a better alternative.

You can choose to transform the weight of those burdens into positive energy. And you can draw upon that positive energy to move yourself forward.

The burdens you carry are creatures of the past that have survived to push against you in the present. Take a deep, fresh breath of the air that is right now, and fill yourself with resolve to take good, useful energy from those burdens.

Think of what you’ve done in the past to put yourself in the presence of your burdens. Now think of how you can use your energy and your actions to move yourself toward freedom.

You have worked your way to this point, and you can now work your way far beyond it. Imagine what is possible, choose from it whatever you desire, and begin right away to take the actions that will get you there.

Stop seeing your burdens as holding you back and start seeing them for what they can be. Take energy and inspiration from them, and choose to live life on your own positive, fulfilling terms.
