CORNERSTONE STATEMENT:
There are women and men bestowed with the gift to answer the ultimate question. That question is ‘WHY’. They are charged with rendering an answer that can be understood by the most contrary element of our society. Those that foment, spread and traffic in hate. Our Brothers are in need of guidance and this journal will bring forth a multitude of remedies to address the male illness of unawareness. The answer to the ultimate unknowns of behavior and responsibility.
Those of us given this perception and understanding to interpret the unknown and apply the information to the known is the essence of our charge. Thereafter decode the messages for the people who oppose themselves. This decryption is then presented to the people as the explanation of events past, present and future so they may keep updated to the frenetic changes occurring today and those that will arrive soon.
Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 59 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.
Issue 18: ‘Really? No. Give me a More Difficult Task’ That’s What You Should Say
That’s what you should say when you’re in the crosshairs of evil. Give me a more difficult task! Not let me consider all the wealth, the material possessions, the woman or man in my bed, or all the people that kiss my ass because they want something from me.
That’s why all the people, including the ones with a ‘steak on their plate’ faltered when Donald J. Trump came after them. I know I know. It’s pathetic.
Let me say this before we go on with our discussion. You all know my dispute with my mortgage company PHH. Well, it’s about settled. The funny thing about it is that it could have been squashed before we got into a fight. The fight. Ahh? That’s what it’s all about. ‘A camel through the eye of a needle is more possible than a rich man getting into Heaven’. Some of what that statement is about means this.
Your bank account is not what will be looked at when your life is reviewed for possible entry into Heaven. Do you get where I’m going with this?
I fought my mortgage company, PHH, because it was about right and wrong. That’s all I give a fuck about!
I’ve seen a man care only about himself as a Black boy growing up in the projects. I’ve been denied jobs. I’ve been lied on by the Birmingham, Alabama police department. I’ve been denied promotion in the United States Army. I’ve been lied on in mental health. In all those instances I’ve fought back because to yield to evil would have denied my birthright!
Listen. I believe God, the First Father, doesn’t make any of his creations do evil. What I do believe is this. The First Father ‘tries’ us to see if you can be of any use to him as he righteously moles the world to his bidding. If you prove to be ‘insufficient’ he still lets you be who you are and he will still use you to influence someone else. For good or for bad.
I believe the First Father used my father’s selfishness to turn my destiny toward a specific purpose. Yes. I’ve said it before. The First Father is a master manipulator. Get over yourselves. You’re not as smart as you think you are.
Now back to Donald J. Trump and this illogical fear of him people with means and the people with a ‘steak’ on their plate have of him. When Donald J. Trump comes for you; you should say ‘Sir, you’re my light weight, go get somebody stronger for me so it can be a fair fight’. Oh, please. You’re afraid of the clowns on the ‘public dime’ that do his third-string business’? Really?
In the Black Community we call ‘them’ kind of our folks ‘ROOTIE POOTS. Don’t worry. It’s just a little ‘Ebonics’ for you. My I’m revealing all our secret words, mannerisms, admonitions and ‘tell you about yo-self’ correctors.
Notice though, all the ‘heavy weights’ in the Justice Department, that are still there that is, aren’t putting their names on the foolishness of Donald J. Trump and his ‘rootie poot’ U. S. Attorney Pam Bondi.
That’s right! I would say let’s not be too hard on the rich, poor, middle class, those that just made it to the point of having a ‘steak’ on their plate, but I can’t do that of course because it would be out of character for me.
In closing let me say this. When I was faced with letting a First Sergeant, a supervisor, or any injustice that came into my path for me to turn the other cheek. I tried to do it once. That decision kept me up all night while turning my stomach like it was making butter. Yeah. I knew that wasn’t me and I was not going to feel like that anymore. Besides. I wasn’t going to be tormented again when all I had to do was stand up to evil as my creator intended.
So, when it happens. Say this, ‘That’s the fight? I’m headlining the main event? Are you serious now? That’s my opponent? Too easy’.
