Blabbering about a piece of symbolic paper, referred to as the Constitution, whose author Thomas Jefferson, felt that&amp;nbsp;Afrikan &amp;nbsp;slaves, were none people, and so, they ,&amp;nbsp;centuries later , needed a Constitutional&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Amendment, by more conscionable , or rather, &amp;nbsp;pragmatic citizens, &amp;nbsp;to finally &amp;nbsp;come up to the level of their White counterparts . "All men are created equal ,with inalinable rights?'&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Ah yes, but lest we forgot , he daily raped , and impregnated,&amp;nbsp;several of &amp;nbsp;his female slaves , and lacked the audacity to even &amp;nbsp;free them , upon leaving office. &lt;a href="http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2009/08/20/thomas-jefferson-the-face-of-a-rapist/"&gt;http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2009/08/20/thomas-jefferson-the-face-of-a-rapist/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note carefully , that it is self serving creatures ,such as this&amp;nbsp;artist ,who via their race bating propoganda, have caused the deaths of two mammoth leaders , from within the previously illustrious Presidential &amp;nbsp;bunch. They were obviously viewed as traitors, were never forgiven&amp;nbsp; for their humanist attempts, and so paid the ultimate price, yes?&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://lasvegas.cbslocal.com/2012/02/03/controversial-artist-depicts-obama-trampling-the-constitution/"&gt;http://lasvegas.cbslocal.com/2012/02/03/controversial-artist-depicts-obama-trampling-the-constitution/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; President's, Abe Lincoln , and John F.Kennedy , where&amp;nbsp; both &amp;nbsp;shot ,for daring to throw a bone to Black folks,at very critical periods of the country's history. &lt;br /&gt;The Great FDR Roosevelt ,&amp;nbsp;is seen&amp;nbsp; today,as a National hero, and&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;justifiably so,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;as his face&amp;nbsp; has been immortalized on Mt Rushmore. In the run up to WW2 however,as Japan , and Germany nibbled on the heals of Americavia pending&amp;nbsp; world wars&amp;nbsp;, innocent , law abiding Japanese American citizens , in his estimation , did not fall under the ambits of the Constitution, as they were stripped of their rights , while locked in Midwest ,Concentration caves ,and their more previliged ,white German/ Euro-&amp;nbsp;American ,fellow citizens , were viewed as loyal patriots,and so left to support the European homeland&amp;nbsp;.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There was this General turned&amp;nbsp; President , in Andrew Jackson&amp;nbsp;, that today, is &amp;nbsp;so honored, he is placed on a national currency.He however,got sadistic pleasures,in massaching innocent Indians across this great nation, all the while praising his phantom, white ,blue eyed ,sky god, in heaven.Today,we call such barbarisms today, genocide.I guess , the Red Man was not protected under the Constitution. Let the record show, that this was used as a template by Adolph Hitler to murder 6 million , equally innocent Jews citizens, and the rest we shall say is history. &lt;a href="http://www.enotes.com/trail-tears-reference/trail-tears-179184"&gt;http://www.enotes.com/trail-tears-reference/trail-tears-179184&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.unitednativeamerica.com/aiholocaust.html"&gt;http://www.unitednativeamerica.com/aiholocaust.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; One hundred years from now G.W Bush would be viewed by objective historians, as the worst President in the history of this great Republic , but the critics, in cluding this creature are silent,as to how both him and cronies, made this country into a convenient corporate comodity to sell to the highest bidder- moving it from a surplus to the worst recessionary state since the early 20th century recession. Someone got this country into two illegal , costly wars, then exit like an MBA bandit , all the while cuddling his Arab oil friends , and similar, fake religious simi facist friends. Some constitutionalist, yes? &lt;a href="http://civilliberty.about.com/od/waronterror/p/imperial101.htm"&gt;http://civilliberty.about.com/od/waronterror/p/imperial101.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;It is not for me to defend this President,as he have his own loyalist to do such , but speaking about Imperial Presidency ,a la ,abuse of powers,it did not suddenly emerge three years ago, when he pounced on the scene&amp;nbsp;,as&amp;nbsp; his &amp;nbsp;country's first Black President's,but the precedent began, a long time ago.His supporters, might justifiably argue, that if for any reason he might be practicing some of their actions,it's just possible ,that these actions, are simply a survival mechanism.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I have often seen this beat down, &amp;nbsp;blame game lamentations, and castigation for phantom ills , as practiced, repeatedly,against Afrikans,&amp;nbsp;by &amp;nbsp;a destructive, numerically dominant majority.They, like this author, developed selective amnesia ,while indulging in their historical revisionism, and how sad, as they do&amp;nbsp;not only &amp;nbsp;themselves an injustice, but likewise the rest of humanity. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; America deserves a Commander in Chief,and or President ,that not only pay credence to a symbolic paper,call the Constitution, but will so whatever it takes to uphold noble, globally accepted&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Ideals, which can ensure World Peace, domestic and International Security, broad based Economic Justice, and Political Empowerment of all people's&amp;nbsp;, irrespective of their respective &amp;nbsp;race, color, class, gender, or geographical locations. I therefore echo the fine words of Ive leauge educated, Constitutional lawyer ,Black Liberational Theology&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Social activist , and President , Barrack Hussain Obama.

Enough already folks, for what America needs , is not nostalgia by self serving misleading elites-hell bent on condemning other obvious elites one might add-but visionary thinking , by citizens who appreciate&amp;nbsp;it's role, as a vibrant ,multicultural&amp;nbsp;, immigrant nation ,capable of remaining an enviable&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Super Power, that provides political hope ,adhere to social justice, &amp;nbsp;and encourage reachable economic dreams, for all irrespective of color , creed , race or class. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Three items grabbed my attention this week , and the almost putrid reactions to&amp;nbsp;them, by most conscious citizens, was quite&amp;nbsp; reveling, as to where this country is heading. These were first, the&amp;nbsp; suspiciously sudden death ,of Penn State legendary , Football Coach ,&amp;nbsp;Joe Pateno&amp;nbsp;. Secondly , a &amp;nbsp;decision by an obviously incapacitated Congress Woman Gifford&amp;nbsp;, to finally resign , so as to recover fully from gun shot wounds , inflicted from the gun of a Far Right , ex military, anti people,Pro NRA ,&amp;nbsp;gun nut. Finally,&amp;nbsp;there was that&amp;nbsp; unexpected victory ,of&amp;nbsp; race mongrel ,GOP contender,Newt Gingrich , in&amp;nbsp; an economically desperate ,Bible Belt Christian region ,of South Carolina. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Italian American Christian, Coach Joe&amp;nbsp; Pateno, was only the much adored ,longest serving ,and&amp;nbsp; as I already indicated , the most successful College Football Coach, in all of American History.&amp;nbsp;If memory served me&amp;nbsp;right , this guy&amp;nbsp;was&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;around on the job so long , that rumor has it , he used to have drinks ,with the late American pioneer Quaker ,William Penn, along with perhaps the most relevant of all the Founding Fathers, in Benjamin Franklyn. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Unless you were living in a bubble on Planet Jupiter, then you too &amp;nbsp;would recall ,that after doing his part to elevate the anti education ,elitist ,&amp;nbsp; racially discriminatory , and exploitative &amp;nbsp;NCAA fiefdom ,through his stewardship at Penn State, he threw it all away , by proving to be a revolting&amp;nbsp; , immoral fraud , just like the worst that society can offer. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;How did he do that ,you enquire in dismay? I'll tell you , by standing&amp;nbsp; silently by ,with his usually loud mouth,tightly &amp;nbsp;closed, during&amp;nbsp; well known abuses of male kids by his equally despicable underlings&amp;nbsp;. This power obsessed sporting icon , instead of saving kids through prudent actions, decided to help emboldened criminals , and encourage a farce ,that lofty &amp;nbsp;higher educational institutions, can stand for something , outside of the neo capitalist ,bottom line, as well as corruption. &lt;br /&gt;His shameful , behavior &amp;nbsp;was compounded by the&amp;nbsp;misguided&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Penn State Students, who took to rioting , once he was fired, and the equally immoral phony journalist,and lawyers ,&amp;nbsp;that through faulty spin &amp;nbsp;,defended &amp;nbsp;him, all the way to&amp;nbsp;his &amp;nbsp;grave. &lt;br /&gt;His sudden death , just a few months after this disgusting , episode , can however have some redemptive end, I believe . A new honest debate can begin ,about sports, meaningful education, exploitations of underaged kids, and the quest for equal justice, against the powerful, and&amp;nbsp; equally ,for down trodden underclass, insignificant, and weaker,&amp;nbsp;fellow humans. Another area that is close to my heart , is the stewardship of NGO 's , as many have been know to fall&amp;nbsp; short of expectations , and have therefore like in the case of the protected ,social mescrents, at the head of the Penn State,&amp;nbsp; pedofiliac debacle ,exploited the needy , under the guise of doing meaningful work , in their interest. This preying and misuese of power , for self gain , must be stopped via some sound Civil Society ,Policing action, as the&amp;nbsp;well known , Global Institution, that's presently &amp;nbsp;entrusted with this task , has failed miserably. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As for Blue Dog Democrat Arizonian Congress Woman Gifford&amp;nbsp;, we wish her a speedy recovery from this sad tragedy that befell her .I know for a fact that both her ,and her Astronaut husband, are proud members of the NRA, and support &amp;nbsp;freedoms of all Americans ,&amp;nbsp;to carry guns as protected by the 2nd Amendment.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Let's for the record state that&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; destructive gun lobbyist, as well as the politicians they cuddle, should not be allowed to misinterpret , and mislead , as Founding Fathers were not operating in as modern , and militarily strong , security fortress America, las existing &amp;nbsp;today.&amp;nbsp;The citizens of this country do not need their own guns , to protect themselves due to the presence of a weak militia, when they have the most powerful military on earth , and more law enforcement officials than any other country can imaging.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;If he end , she decide's to take up the fight to make the NRA obsolete , as well , as strike down&amp;nbsp;the anachronistic 2nd Amendment&amp;nbsp;, then she can be a well deserve hero for millions,whose lives would be saved&lt;br /&gt;both nationally,and internationally. &lt;br /&gt;If she can become a champion for kids , who are victims of accidents, School massacres ,&lt;br /&gt;gang shoot outs, and child soldiers activities, via Small arms Proliferation , then she can be elevated to the pedestal of American&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;cult status &amp;nbsp;, such as my all time favorite American female leader, former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and United Nations Pioneer. Should we be optimistic on this front?Maybe ,we can try. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Not much needs to be said about former House Speaker Congressman&amp;nbsp; Newt Gingrich, except that he is an insecure, bombastic , flame throwing ,immoral ,lifetime race mongering&amp;nbsp;,politically divisive,opportunistic&amp;nbsp; creature , of the lowest order. &lt;br /&gt;Any success by him at higher office , can mean only harm for this country , and would simply confirm what many across the globe was fast suspecting . Unfortunately , perhaps ,due to faulty education , ignorance , or just moral decay&amp;nbsp; , this incipient&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;, empty ,debase shallowness of the American character ,has taken over&amp;nbsp;, and so many would claim as heoric leaders, some of the most despicable human beings imaginable, only to suffer dire consequences , eventually, as history would indicate so vividly. . &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; His success was made possible ,mostly due to the efforts of&amp;nbsp;equally immoral, clueless,self proclaimed , anti Mormon ,phony Christian zealots,&amp;nbsp;coupled with ample &amp;nbsp;financial backings of Super Pac agents &amp;nbsp;,obtained from greedy, Corporate thugs, with too much loot in their coffers derived from runaway capitalism.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I am optimistic that good sense would soon prevail , and the loquacious , rotund Gingrich ,would be relegated again to the political dustbin of history ,where he truly belongs ,with his opaque ideas, one of which I am almost certain , if granted the opportunity , would be to purge America of any one of color -like a certain German we prefer to forget- and worst yet , if if given a chance, re introduce Euro American ,Southern Plantation ,Barbarian slavery, on innocent Afrikan folks.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;These, events to many , are quite insignificant developments, but big picture guys as I am , it remains my hope that via this medium&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;, it can help you my readers embrace a new perspective- centered on humanist existence. &lt;br /&gt;Land of the free, opportunity , and justice, should not be empty catch words, but vigilence is paramount. It's a beautiful life. Stay tuned,&amp;nbsp;socially engaged, and while at it, Luv Humanity!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7503347362858462304-7963192107157375157?l=nrayprof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/feeds/7963192107157375157/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7503347362858462304&amp;postID=7963192107157375157' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/7963192107157375157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/7963192107157375157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/2012/01/3-strikes-u-r-out.html' title='3 Strikes &amp; U  R Out!'/><author><name>Znendrii</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15552373977076391616</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N_tOjX5Kj7Q/TnEhY6iTtJI/AAAAAAAAAJc/neZqjk8I8Sc/s220/black%2Bbuddha.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503347362858462304.post-5390907685217447857</id><published>2012-01-21T19:40:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-21T19:40:56.057-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Post Depression Politics</title><content type='html'>So if Newt Gingrich&amp;nbsp; win the South Carolina Primary today, as many suspect he would , what does it say about America as a nation?

Hey Juannnnnas , NAACP , poor Black Kids, and your famous Food Stamp President in Chief!!!!3. Religious intolerance is still potent,as Christian fundamentalist dominate the agenda,&amp;nbsp;not only against Jews , or as it was once, on Kennedy &amp;nbsp;Catholics, but Mormons as well. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; How about Euro American women , many of whom naively think, that unlike other races of women ,&amp;nbsp;that they are truly liberated ,because their&amp;nbsp;male better halves ,claim this to be the case, only to see their men ,find ways,to repeatedly press their faces into the dirt? &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; About seven years ago , I had a Sociology seminar paper to do, and toyed with the idea of writing about the merits of Polygamy, as practiced in parts of Afrika, Islamic Middle East , and Mormon country America. In&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; the end ,however , maybe due to&amp;nbsp; political correctness , or just because I &amp;nbsp;did not think that such a topic was relevant ,at the time , decided to give it a rest. &lt;br /&gt;With all the infidelity that has prevailed since amongst married couples&amp;nbsp; , especially by elected officials, I am inclined to think&amp;nbsp;that &amp;nbsp;most&amp;nbsp; collections of people who practice this behavior might be on to something positive? &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;There are a few folks I would like to ask to put at the forefront of this debate if I had the power , so to do .&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;As a lead off&amp;nbsp;,there is &amp;nbsp;Barrack Obama , our &amp;nbsp;first Black President. His Kenyan&amp;nbsp;father , had the best of both worlds, and the rest we can say is history.&amp;nbsp;Mitt Romney , came very close to being a Mexican illegal citizen , as his&amp;nbsp;granddad ran to Mexico to&amp;nbsp;escape prosecutionsfor the love of his three wives&amp;nbsp;. He Mitt can idly boast about his loyal wife, and five clone like boys , but thousand of kids in his state of Utah&amp;nbsp;are part of this , and he is a major silent part .&lt;br /&gt;Sly&amp;nbsp;old fox Newt , has dabbled with the wives of so&amp;nbsp;many other&amp;nbsp;folks ,&amp;nbsp;and strayed from the Christian part&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;so much , that he &amp;nbsp;should be more than willing to sign a declaration on day one ,of his administration, to make the practice legal ,&amp;nbsp;if elected.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Pity former South Carolina Governor ,Mark Standford, as he &amp;nbsp;could have been the projected winner today as a candidate, if he had not messed up with his Argentina sexual escapades. Today , he needs an escort to go see his own &amp;nbsp;kids , as the scorned former First Lady wife, &amp;nbsp;might shoot him, if&amp;nbsp;he cross her&amp;nbsp;part &amp;nbsp;alone, in a dark back yard. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; As for Sikh Indo American Governor Nikki &amp;nbsp;Harley , she proved that the American dream is alive and well,&amp;nbsp;as the cheating female &amp;nbsp;Republican is much adored by her fellow South Carolinian, with all her imperfections.&lt;br /&gt;Well , that Amrica for you , land of the free, and full of hope. Now it's on to Florida. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7503347362858462304-5390907685217447857?l=nrayprof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/feeds/5390907685217447857/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7503347362858462304&amp;postID=5390907685217447857' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/5390907685217447857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/5390907685217447857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/2012/01/post-depression-politics.html' title='Post Depression Politics'/><author><name>Znendrii</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15552373977076391616</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N_tOjX5Kj7Q/TnEhY6iTtJI/AAAAAAAAAJc/neZqjk8I8Sc/s220/black%2Bbuddha.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503347362858462304.post-2769828889479459533</id><published>2012-01-08T11:36:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-08T11:36:59.319-05:00</updated><title type='text'>AMERICAN DEBACLE : A REPOSITIONING ON BRANDING ,FOR GLOBAL SUPERIORITY.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Saw me another debate last night , which might &amp;nbsp;just be ,about a thousand for me , &amp;nbsp;since I began observing American Presidential politics through the years. This practice I think ,began for me , since I was about what &amp;nbsp;age twenty one? Grew up&amp;nbsp; observing the likes of media giants, such as Ted Koppel ABC Nightline ,as well as&amp;nbsp; Sam Donaldson , and William Buckley&amp;nbsp; Jr.with their respective &amp;nbsp;roundtable discussions on the state of their country, global politics &amp;nbsp;, and the role of leaders ,that were necessary&amp;nbsp; to navigate &amp;nbsp;therein.Not surprisingly this love blossom into education and careers within the political arena , all the while remaining an ardent admirer of power plays , and the media agents that enlighten us about their actions - some good , others terrible ,one should add. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; My journey&amp;nbsp; began with&amp;nbsp; the historically maligned ,Richard Nixon who ended the Vietnam war, &amp;nbsp;brought&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;the troops home, to face a demoralized nation, suffering it's second defeat, under &amp;nbsp;the hands of colored enemies,many &amp;nbsp; felt , were their inferiors- especially the Lyndon B Johnson's of the world .'How dare these yellow, and brown bastards ,not bow to the might, of these great, mainly &amp;nbsp;white &amp;nbsp;Christian gods ,that dominate &amp;nbsp;these United States , I could hear the rabid , foul mouth Texan scream?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Nixon's bold&amp;nbsp; efforts of&amp;nbsp; Ping pong Diplomacy , and of course, Watergate over ambition ,resulted in his impeachment, &amp;nbsp;fall from grace, and convenient Gerald Ford &amp;nbsp;pardon, but that's another story for pseudo intellectual &amp;nbsp;historians such as fat blowhard Newt Gingrich, and lofty &amp;nbsp;moralist, to grapple over, as to it's merits for sending the first American President ,to Alcatraz, for victimless crimes, just &amp;nbsp;like was done historically , for 75% or more , incarcerated , common criminal scums, across this &amp;nbsp;nation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;This action might &amp;nbsp;eventually lead to the emergence of China today, as an eventual &amp;nbsp;major , rivaling economic ,and political superpower ,to the &amp;nbsp;United States, and that some think, might not be a bad development,in an out of control world, where United Nation's multipolarity,is looked at with denison,since,'wink,wink,' and clear precursor, to 'Third Worldism.'&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Who can forget Jimmy Carter , an ardent Southern Baptist, Georgian &amp;nbsp;Peanut Farmer, who came to Pennsylvania Avenue &amp;nbsp;Washington, ladened with outsider Christian idealism ,clothed in an outfit of 'lust in his heart,'moral &amp;nbsp;purity, and for this paid a &amp;nbsp;steep price. I am speaking of course of &amp;nbsp;Political Islam , with all it’s good,or evil&amp;nbsp; manifestations, from Iranian Ayatollah &amp;nbsp;revolution , post Shah , to Soviet invaded Afghanistan , Mujahadeen , Saudi Bin Laden , and Taliban,but &amp;nbsp;again ,who is checking, out side of Italian American Penn State coal mining &amp;nbsp;political nut job &amp;nbsp;'Don',Rick Santorum , aka big Government/Contraceptive Police/Mussolini rabid great grand nephew, who does not see in his twisted Christian Catholic soul , an evil Muslim he does not wish to bomb away , during maybe the WW3?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; We'll give that a rest for now , and just check to see if one of the eight daughters of Santorum, the &amp;nbsp;fraud , can survive &amp;nbsp;this election cycle, without &amp;nbsp;making the pages of the Enquirer magazine ,for unwed , underaged pregnancy, in similar &amp;nbsp;manner ,to an equally , hypocritical,unmentionable Alaskan suspect Republican,opportunistic, empty suit babbler. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;recall Civil Rights activist ,Jesse Jackson ,attempting , and failing miserably ,to do what Barrack Obama eventually&amp;nbsp; did ,decades later, namely ,breaking &amp;nbsp;the White male, politically exclusive club barrier,so as to become a rags to riches, President.Notice I did not say Black President , like most so called, color blind Americans , who naively &amp;nbsp;think, that Black , plus White is still Black. Some fondly refer to &amp;nbsp;it &amp;nbsp;as &amp;nbsp;1% &amp;nbsp;drop of blood rule, a policy that was encouraged for over &amp;nbsp;two hundred years, by &amp;nbsp;conniving , &amp;nbsp;barbarian European , with sinister racial puritanical purposes , as they raped , and plunder the lives of their innocent , god fearing , more civilize Afrikan slave subjects , who only help make this country into the shining empire it is today , with never a wee bit of compensation for their efforts. Such a sad , sickening legacy ,and stain on the moral conscience of these United Sates , but who is checking , when this subject, and others linked to economic and social justice , can be discarded to the book shelves of history, as we speculate on the size of &amp;nbsp;ugly , fake nose ,Kim &amp;nbsp;Kardashain butt,type of drug Paris Hilton &amp;nbsp;,was caught with in her black and yellow &amp;nbsp;underwear, or better yet if the screaming Minnesota &amp;nbsp;political victim Michelle Bachman, was kicked off the political stage because of sexism , or due more to the fact that she came across as dumber that &amp;nbsp;the simulate Sarah Palin , her predecessor for female flavor of the year? You know what I am talking about, from flaming feminist liberal &amp;nbsp;Geraldine Ferraro,to Political &amp;nbsp;Carpetbagger &amp;nbsp;Hillary Tammy Wynette Rodman Clinton , and then Sarah, the clueless , Alaskan Sport caster ,turn NBA's Glen Rice , inept ,close fan?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I observed the politically complex ,yet fervently optimistic Ronald Reagan ,start his version of a revolution , that some claimed,was the architect for &amp;nbsp;deregulation, runaway&amp;nbsp; militaristic&amp;nbsp;deficit spending ,anti poor folks ,business economic greed&amp;nbsp; , a la ,present day ,Wall Street banditry,and recessionary chaos ,that unsuspecting,yet innocent Americans ,are &amp;nbsp;sadly forced to endure today, reminiscent to the 1930's depressions, onced experienced by the likes of now &amp;nbsp;famous Jewish Ponzi Scheming, head guru ,alleged victim,Bernard Madoff when he was a kid growing up in Queens Zoo York. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; Since in their estimation ,it ended &amp;nbsp;bipolar ,fear mongering, via the four decades Cold War ,and eventually&amp;nbsp; the&amp;nbsp; demise of the USSR , this B class acting Democratic Partying ,Great Communicator, turned convenient Republican anti Red head honcho ,with the help of his adoring wife &amp;nbsp;Ouija playing Nancy, has achieved almost Hollywoodian cult status, to many, and can be forgiven&amp;nbsp; for his failings-criminal, though numerous &amp;nbsp;might be, and did anyone say Iran,drugs for gun scandal? Alas,a different story,for more convenient occasions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Others like my self, and the Nobel Peace Prize Committee ,&amp;nbsp; prefer to look instead at the efforts of&amp;nbsp; a youthful , visionary ,Russian Lawyer named Mikhail Gorbachev , the architect of&amp;nbsp; Glasnost ,and Perestroika , as the real hero that changed the world , but that’s a different story for a different occasion ,as today's&amp;nbsp;economically , and politically constipated Europe&amp;nbsp; stumbles, while awaiting their lifetime benefactor America ,to rise up again ,and lead from the front, as it was known to have done , when capable for over six decades since becoming a Super Power.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The world for almost two decades was subjected to the Bush , Clinton royal dynasties from social Conservative Yankee Blue blood WW2 hero , and&amp;nbsp; Texan businessman G H Bush , to his&amp;nbsp; sexually laschievious ,dysfunctional&amp;nbsp; Irish slickness Bill Clinton , and how can we forget pseudo Christian war monger MBA President G.W Bush. Since one was born with a gold spoon in his mouth, his empty words about reading his lips on no new taxes fell flat. The other for all his good on the economy , took the country back almost 200 years ,and compromised&amp;nbsp; it&amp;nbsp; in every way possible ,due to his sexual indiscipline , and inability command the respect of his peers during the power game . Bill Clinton’s, revolting actions as President of the United States , to many much smarter ,and or morally sound than myself , was so harmful , and distracting , was tantamount to an olympian winning a gold medal , and having to give it back in humiliating fashion after being caught using steroids. Again , another story for a different occasion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; It is now 2012 , and as per usual , political junkie as&amp;nbsp; I am, here it is I am once again , observing&amp;nbsp; with keen interest, the&amp;nbsp;political machinations&amp;nbsp; of the contenders for the proverbial throne of Commander in Chief, or put more affectionately, the American Presidency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Unfortunately , only one person intrigue me in the list of contestants, and his name is none other than &amp;nbsp;Dr. Ron Paul.&amp;nbsp; His message is clear, sound, and poignant for our time . He is fervently pro Constitutional what ever that means ,since it's writer,Virginian &amp;nbsp;Thomas Jefferson, raped , and continually impregnated his female slaves, then refused to free them upon leaving office- immoral bastard as he was- of all men are created equal fame.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;Ron claim to wish to get back to fiscal responsibility , less governmental&amp;nbsp; regulations, and or micromanagement of citizens lives. Translation of that , might just be pull your self up from your lazy boot strap , and quit waiting on the Federal government to do anything to help you get ahead, but I'll leave him to work out the logistics of such pro Tea bag ideas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;He has &amp;nbsp;an uncompromising , though seemingly impractical , ardent following who subscribes to demolishing the UN , getting out of NATO , returning of all troops to America where they would join the band of millions of already unemployed .He referent to this as a sure step &amp;nbsp;for &amp;nbsp;liberty, and freedom for all citizens , via no USA global Policing , Noninterventionist, Isolationism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Well, this sound good on paper , until 500,0000 &amp;nbsp;war hungry ,well trained ex military folks -1000 or less of which are Generals- start using their skills to attack America instead, as that is all they know , including attempted coups ,and then Super Power China , Nigeria ,Israel , and Brazil, decided to give weakened America ,the middle finger , as desperate citizens beg the international community, to intervene, to halt the clear cut &amp;nbsp;Genocides, that would inevitable follow, from the social mayhem , caused by Dr Ron , aka the mad Scientist.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The sad reality is that Ron Paul can never win , as the power&amp;nbsp; eliteFar Right , GOP establishment, is scared as hell ,at the prospect of either him winning ,or that &amp;nbsp;colorless ,morally repugnant , billionaire business elite,flip flopping left of center leaning, Jesus hating&amp;nbsp; Mormon&amp;nbsp; guy named Mitt Romney , with no chance &amp;nbsp;whatsoever of defeating , his rival Barrack Obama, aka the Great White Hope.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The losers again would be those historically&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: 24.0px Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;clueless , emotionally abused , socially confused , politically fractured , neo tribal ,Americans , who brought into the notion that&amp;nbsp; they still lived in the land of the free, and of opportunities for&amp;nbsp; all ,from sea to shining sea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: 24.0px Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 24.0px Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;Stay tune however ,&amp;nbsp; for my follow up , as to why no candidate standing on the GOP platform ,can ever defeat this incumbent bloke named Barrack Hussain Obama , from South Side Chicago, by way of Hawaii, and Indonesia.Here is a hint , for you less astute. His secret weapon is Michelle Obama ,a one time poor South Side , turned Harvard , and Princeton elite lioness, that would fiercely destroy any who stand’s in her way to plant her White House vegetable garden to end obesity&amp;nbsp; amongst Black Kids ,not named Malia , and Sasha. I would double dare anyone to halt her effort to bring more wholesome&amp;nbsp; ,classical artistry, less violence inducing, gender demeaning&amp;nbsp; music, into the cultural&amp;nbsp; hearts, of all American kids ,exposed for too long ,on Afrikan Rap ,and Hip Hop music.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Don’t wish to give away too much , but just maybe , she can work on the conscience of those numerically dominant , to remind them of the fact that this is Afrikan American time , and the consequence of her people , either switching country , or better yet ,forming their own political party, as a back lash.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;I remain , your&amp;nbsp; unpaid socio - political observer , of American realities , remember ,from as far back as Richard - I’m not a crook -Nixon?&amp;nbsp; It’s a jungle out there people , and someone got to&amp;nbsp; lay it down as it is ,for the less conscious amongst us, since the corporate , complicit , corrupt main stream media is either asleep , or comatose in flatlined inertia, yes?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Luv Humanity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7503347362858462304-2769828889479459533?l=nrayprof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/feeds/2769828889479459533/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7503347362858462304&amp;postID=2769828889479459533' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/2769828889479459533'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/2769828889479459533'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/2012/01/american-debacle-repositioning-on.html' title='AMERICAN DEBACLE : A REPOSITIONING ON BRANDING ,FOR GLOBAL SUPERIORITY.'/><author><name>Znendrii</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15552373977076391616</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N_tOjX5Kj7Q/TnEhY6iTtJI/AAAAAAAAAJc/neZqjk8I8Sc/s220/black%2Bbuddha.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503347362858462304.post-369751874450006765</id><published>2012-01-06T10:58:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T10:58:10.735-05:00</updated><title type='text'>LUVING HUMANITY</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; It is so sad that some naively think that self love translates to hatred of the other . Far from it , as psychologists have repeatedly shown us that&amp;nbsp; folks who project hatred of other races, and ethnicity's, are sending a not too subtle message as to how they think of themselves. A look across the historical landscape , and we can observe examples of &amp;nbsp; attempts to mask some of their covert, and overt manifestations of evils.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;These range form slavery , cultural, and ideologically&amp;nbsp; tinged race wars, drastic economic &amp;nbsp; exploitations, and even barbaric cohesive sanctions , but we refuse to be fooled. &amp;nbsp;Sadly &amp;nbsp;enough , sometimes decades, and centuries of acculturation &amp;nbsp;of elements of hate , evils , and oppressions , can result in one group full acceptance of this as a norm. It then comes as no surprise that they in turn , would resort to the same action on the other , once in any position of power themselves. There is a moral responsibility that is necessary by us, the more&amp;nbsp; morally&amp;nbsp; astute humanist ,to expose &amp;nbsp;all forms of evil , and the perpetrators ,as best we can, in&amp;nbsp; what ever form necessary. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; For American Europeans , it&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;began almost 200 years ago, during one example of &amp;nbsp;wider European Imperialist aggressive invasions &amp;nbsp;, against a harmless, welcoming &amp;nbsp;people, without whose efforts , this great nation could never have &amp;nbsp;fully emerge.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwA6paAayio"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwA6paAayio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;It did not stop there however, for what else can one call two and a quarter centuries of free labor , under the barbaric system called slavery , followed by &amp;nbsp;continued ,systemic , and institutional destructions , with no compensations for past wrongs, by one group of the other?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.enotes.com/african-americans-reference/african-americans"&gt;http://www.enotes.com/african-americans-reference/african-americans&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2569"&gt;http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2569&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pay attention to the present &amp;nbsp;GOP Primary election campain, and you would see how &amp;nbsp;fake Christians, and Mormon &amp;nbsp;candidates, are jumping over each other ,to up the ante ,when it comes &amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;rhetoric , as to who loves the state of Israel more, or rather , &amp;nbsp; can lay &amp;nbsp;better claims to becoming a &amp;nbsp;friend of &amp;nbsp;historically victimized Jewish people, but should they be trusted? &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDKw0f95k7Q&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDKw0f95k7Q&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;In the interim , a blind eye would be turned to ending injustice , against the other , by a most powerful force , that will not hesitate to resort to &amp;nbsp;the most savage actions , of over kill - all the while using questionable logic to justify same , and not hesitating to call to &amp;nbsp;denounce any ,who &amp;nbsp;they perceive , are trying to stand in their way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXSZlvjNTgA&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXSZlvjNTgA&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question remains, can they win? I say never,as evil can never triumph&amp;nbsp;, irrespective of where it emerged from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thewe.cc/contents/more/archive/atrocities.htm"&gt;http://www.thewe.cc/contents/more/archive/atrocities.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; Not to be out done is the actions of their European counterparts , based in present day Russia, and former USSR , as well as old Europe. &amp;nbsp;Millions have died globally during the Cold War, under proxy wars, but since it's ended, maybe twice that amount have likewise &amp;nbsp;exited the face of the earth , via the same evil , and destructions , as played out in the twisted souls of a people, , with no concern for the other . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2CE0fyz4ys&amp;amp;feature=results_video&amp;amp;playnext=1&amp;amp;list=PL9976E7FC9D60E6A5"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2CE0fyz4ys&amp;amp;feature=results_video&amp;amp;playnext=1&amp;amp;list=PL9976E7FC9D60E6A5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.shunya.net/Text/Blog/AmericaColdWarTaliban.htm"&gt;http://www.shunya.net/Text/Blog/AmericaColdWarTaliban.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The political blow backs across the Islamic world , in the form of the Arab Spring Revolution is welcome, as it &amp;nbsp;gave us another &amp;nbsp;glimpse into &amp;nbsp;the twisted soul &amp;nbsp;of a few leaders that wish to sow evil , while preying on the innocent. Since the end of the Cold War, opportunistic &amp;nbsp;intellectuals,led by revisionist historians ,have been trying to convince us that Islam is the evil enemy that &amp;nbsp;was mysteriously unleashed on the world. Far from it , and a bit of careful research would bear this out. Evil knows no boundaries , and only vigilance can curb it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Let's make 2012 , the year that we try to put a halt in some form into the efforts of&amp;nbsp; those who with misguided intentions , that are hell bent on impeding human progress . Often it's by their words you can pinpoint them. Never hesitate- due to intimidation , and fear of retributions- to expose the actions of powerful entities , be it the sole remaining Super Power , rivaling nations , entrenched as puppet masters within the United Nations , or influential profiteering conglomerate , corporatist &amp;nbsp;thugs, whose sole aims, are selfish personal aggrandizement, at any cost.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Instead , take a stand for Global Justice, Peace , and Prosperity for all- including the historically&amp;nbsp; weak, maligned , and ignored . &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Luv Humanity!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7503347362858462304-369751874450006765?l=nrayprof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/feeds/369751874450006765/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7503347362858462304&amp;postID=369751874450006765' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/369751874450006765'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/369751874450006765'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/2012/01/luving-humanity.html' title='LUVING HUMANITY'/><author><name>Znendrii</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15552373977076391616</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N_tOjX5Kj7Q/TnEhY6iTtJI/AAAAAAAAAJc/neZqjk8I8Sc/s220/black%2Bbuddha.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503347362858462304.post-2487772605909154128</id><published>2012-01-04T19:33:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-04T19:33:50.501-05:00</updated><title type='text'>AMERICAN CROSSROADS 4 Losers ,&amp; Winners</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;American politics&amp;nbsp; is at a wonderful crossroad , and this upcoming election in November might prove how many are prepared to choose the right part&amp;nbsp; to regain , and help put their country back on the pinnacle , as a globally respected&amp;nbsp; , shining leader. Yesterday’s &amp;nbsp;primary elections in Iowa, was quite revealing, both for who won , and loose. The biggest winner for me was Dr.&amp;nbsp; Ron Paul, a savvy , principled politicians, if ever there was one. First of all , if he is successful, which most establishment groupies are horrified at , he would be one of the first leaders ,who served the military , not as some privileged , calculating&amp;nbsp; elite,trying too desperately to be one of us - the common folks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Thank goodness we were saved from the likes of&amp;nbsp; political bozos such as John Kerry , and John Mc Cain. &amp;nbsp; The former threw away his Vietnam medals long before GW Bush swift boated him , then married his first millionaire wife, on pal Ted Kennedy&amp;nbsp; expensive yacht, all the while still professing to be a good&amp;nbsp; pro abortion Catholic , liberal Christian ,that can feel the pain&amp;nbsp; of ordinary Americans. For that he paid the eventual ultimate price to America's first Yuppie MBA , Yankee -Texan President .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The latter, stayed three extra years in a Hanoi torture chambers, than he should , then two days after returning home to&amp;nbsp; America , married a billionaire Beer heiress , after dumping his sick wife , that stood by his side through all his struggles. As for Newt Gingrich , a war monger , broad themes Reganite intellectual? He just avoided his military drafts cycle, &amp;nbsp;but now does not see a war he does not like , as he &amp;nbsp;reminds most of &amp;nbsp;us of a runny nosed , fat&amp;nbsp;, aged &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Chuckey doll , with evil intent for young poor lower caste kids, with no role models like his military father, and suicidal mom &amp;nbsp;was. This serial philandering creature , served divorce papers to his first &amp;nbsp;wife, on her hospital bed, with no remorse. He then cheated on his second wife while , attempting to impeach the sex fein Bill Clinton. &amp;nbsp;We &amp;nbsp;got lost, and really like most , do not care &amp;nbsp;as to how he evolved into &amp;nbsp;hooking up with his last wive. Was it before he too became a Catholic &amp;nbsp;contrite Christian ?Again &amp;nbsp;we are lost on the actions of political frauds.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0225a3; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theroot.com/views/newts-fidelity-pledge-childs-play"&gt;http://www.theroot.com/views/newts-fidelity-pledge-childs-play&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Good riddance to Michelle Buchman , and never though I would say , I miss Sarah Palin. Let me add , a person who cannot win the state in which they were born, &amp;nbsp;does not deserve to be taken seriously, as a Presidential contender. It is sad to see reality show , hysterical ,gender politics played out on the grand stage , as this &amp;nbsp;seemingly educated ,American non feminist , claim that she is the&amp;nbsp; modern representations of&amp;nbsp; Ronald Reagan , and his clone ,Margaret Thatcher&amp;nbsp;,&amp;nbsp;her heroes ,all moped into one.&amp;nbsp; Would have been nice to hear that she too had a scandal&amp;nbsp; of some sexual nature. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9bvreW08X0"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px color: #0225a3; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9bvreW08X0&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;She reminds me of movie character , in her case it was , Fargo. Bomb Iran , get rid of Barrack Obama &amp;nbsp;Care at all cost, get government off our backs, pro gun, pro death penalty, pro expensive&amp;nbsp; wars, pro life ,less tax , especially from the rich, build up America, and all, from a clueless tax lawyer Congress person , vowing to continue as a none politician. Sarah Mama Grizzly ,had her moment on the reality sun , selling books , and parroting ugly ideologies, so watch out for the Bachman psycho team ,&amp;nbsp; on Dancing with the Stars.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0225a3; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9bvreW08X0"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9bvreW08X0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Not to be outdone, is the calculating, competing&amp;nbsp; millionaire Mormons&amp;nbsp; , Mitt Romney , and archenemies ,John Huntsman. Guess what, America hates these two characters , but&amp;nbsp; both are&amp;nbsp; sadly ,still pretending as to why this is so, and yet claim to be successful, job creation , business executives.&amp;nbsp; Sorry guys , ET , and Elvis Presley, has&amp;nbsp; better chances of being the next &amp;nbsp;two President of the United States , over you both. One is we believe , dead from overdosing on cocaine,while on his Graceland orgies,&amp;nbsp; and the other ,is languishing on Mars.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You are both from a State call Utah, and part of a religion which condones polygamy, child&amp;nbsp; brides&amp;nbsp; practices, and incest,therefore no way does America other 49 states, wish for that&amp;nbsp; to become the norm , on a wider level. Both gives off a certain aura of sleazy , immoral dishonesty , that many right thinking folks &amp;nbsp;today, find most reprehensible . Two billionaire business tycoons,that benefited immensely, from Federal , and State governmental pork, yet pretending to be some outsider ,who has the people’s interest at heart.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Both inherited their papas money , and privilege , so as to&amp;nbsp; avoid military service , and hooray for them , but not for millions of other American not so fortunate. Romney crime is to pretend to be&amp;nbsp; a Conservative , while being Governor to &amp;nbsp;Massachusetts ,perhaps the most liberal state in all America , and working to out shine the most liberal politician in all of America , in Ted Kennedy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Fast forward to 2012 , and he is pretending that it was Elvis&amp;nbsp; Presley ,his brother who &amp;nbsp;created Romney Care, while distancing himself from his past record . Huntsman&amp;nbsp; in contrast, used his wealth to become a Corporate Diplomat for various Presidents, including the incumbent President , he is now attempting to do a 360 on.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This leaves us with the surging Italian , son of an Immigrant, who today promised in true pandering fashion , that if elected , he would &amp;nbsp;be tougher on mostly colored&amp;nbsp; Mexican immigrants , than any past &amp;nbsp;President , including Obama ,h is virtual enemy. You might be correct , that it’s difficult to build walls across JFK, &amp;nbsp;to keep Europeans out of America.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Why do I still feel deep in my &amp;nbsp;guts , that for all his tough guy , down to earth, media posturing , most American are seeing another opportunistic corrupt , Rudolph Giuliani, each time he speaks- without the pissed off ,ex wife and crazy kids ,that wish him dead ,for screwing around on their&amp;nbsp; equally crazy mom, of course.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Just wonder what a Bill Clinton would say to Jennifer Flowers&amp;nbsp; today&amp;nbsp; in an unguarded moment ,about this flamboyant Italian , if &amp;nbsp;he was again&amp;nbsp; lying in some Motel 6&amp;nbsp; bed?&amp;nbsp; Oh yes , he too ‘act like a Mafioso,’ and &amp;nbsp;therefore , you know what folks across the Bible Belt Southern sports across wider America would be thinking.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;One thing you can count on with these politicians, is their love of an aggressive , robust war ,some where in a Third World country , mainly inhabited by colored , none Christians.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; In 2008 , one nutty&amp;nbsp; GOP , war monger&amp;nbsp; elitist ,promised to bomb&amp;nbsp;

often do not even under stand . No where is it more apparent than amongst&amp;nbsp; those&amp;nbsp; , I affectionately refer to as Global Afrikans. About one week ago , a story caught my eyes, and with no real malice,I twitted a&amp;nbsp; forthright response ,and thought no more about it. 46 year old Milikah Shabazz,a daughter of the late ,Civil Rights , Political activist Malcolm X,was arrested, committing&amp;nbsp; ,fraud , against the wife of a&amp;nbsp; former body guard , belonging to her father. In addition, she breach of probation , for traveling outside the jurisdictions of NY State.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2011/12/15/Malcolm-X-daughter-arrested/UPI-78201323979429/"&gt;http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2011/12/15/Malcolm-X-daughter-arrested/UPI-78201323979429/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;I twitted that outside of the musical Jackson family ,&amp;nbsp; the&amp;nbsp; Shabazz ,were&amp;nbsp; the most dysfunctional, in the entire planet. For this ,I was harshly chastised, in a response&amp;nbsp; , by one of the daughters , eager to protect her family’s legacy.&amp;nbsp; How dare you , attack my family like that without showing some empathy , and understanding , she&amp;nbsp; enquired ? I quickly did a double take , and apologize ,in recognition that I might have&amp;nbsp; gone a bit over the top .&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; Absentee fathers, I believe is the cause of most of the problems across most Black families. Even worst is the case of lingering trauma that persist all the way sometimes to adulthood. Compound that with the taboo , of fear of confronting , much less discussing them , and so I am not too saddened by the response. Dysfunction&amp;nbsp; obviously, has derogatory&amp;nbsp; connotations and so ,I am not surprise at the forceful response.&amp;nbsp; but a way of saying hey , we have a problem that still needs addressing .&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; It unstated , but well known that&amp;nbsp; these two men, were of the same mole ,and had similar ambitions ,which included&amp;nbsp; ,&amp;nbsp; the full liberation of their people , and elevation of America ,to a morally&amp;nbsp; just, and socially sound&amp;nbsp; level. They were however treated differently because of their dissimilar approaches . Both , in the end ,received in&amp;nbsp; the same venomous blow back from the powers that be.&amp;nbsp; At the peak of their lives , both were cut down tragically , leaving young ,courageous&amp;nbsp; wives, to fend&amp;nbsp; for themselves, and kids , then fast forward&amp;nbsp; today, what do we see?&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; MLK kids are rolling in financial dough, way up , at the Mountain top , their mama died peacefully , and dignity , in the autumn of her life ,they are all&amp;nbsp; living&amp;nbsp; purposeful lives&amp;nbsp; , while obtaining&amp;nbsp; national accolades , including commemorating not only a national holiday , a&amp;nbsp; billion dollar memorial , all at no cost to them personally.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0225a3; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/08/23/139853480/behind-king-memorial-one-fraternitys-long-battle"&gt;http://www.npr.org/2011/08/23/139853480/behind-king-memorial-one-fraternitys-long-battle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0225a3; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; As for the Shabazz clan ? With few exception , the all female siblings ,have mainly struggled , with little help , or support mechanisms , while still obviously suffering the traumatic fall out of the white tragedy, and Black betrayal of their father.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Since their fathers came to prominence ,via&amp;nbsp; differing social&amp;nbsp; back grounds, their approaches&amp;nbsp; , and appeals , were likewise dissimilar.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; It’s 2011 , and&amp;nbsp; as can be gleaned , the issues that both Malcolm, and MLK fought for are sill&amp;nbsp; unfulfilled .Yes ,a few folks have excelled , but others still languish far behind. The tragedy as played out with&amp;nbsp; this arrested daughter ,though embarrassing , to any concerned with the legacy of an ‘American&amp;nbsp; Afrikan Founding Father ,’ should not be a treated with derision ,but cause time for reflections, and action.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; My concern is encapsulated in a few poignant questions however ,and here they are.&amp;nbsp; Has&amp;nbsp; Euro American , divide and rule, ‘worked so masterfully that folks within the Afrikan diaspora , cannot recognize that&amp;nbsp; they&amp;nbsp; historically, got&amp;nbsp; played for suckers , one against each other? Who is responsible for ensuring that all&amp;nbsp; past heroes receive the same levels of respect ,and dignity,&amp;nbsp; they richly&amp;nbsp; deserves, their kids,&amp;nbsp; conscious intellectuals , middle class folks, or the solely ,confused , hopeless masses ,on the ground, in need of help themselves?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;The&amp;nbsp; need to begin&amp;nbsp; dialogues as to the merits of&amp;nbsp; bridge building communications, remain’s critical , if the end goal is the same.&amp;nbsp; Not only must MLK get his due , for contributing to the fuller development of this country , but so does Malcolm X, Skokley Carmichael ,aka Kwame&amp;nbsp; Ture, CLR James , and Marcus Garvey , and the reasons are simple. For proper perspective , and self love , our young kids , need to identify with all their heroes, irrespective to how white , numerically dominant&amp;nbsp; America accept them. Folks like Booker T Washington, MLK,Maya Angelo , Professor Gates, Barrack Obama , Condi Rice, Colin Powell,Herman Cain ,Frederick Douglas ,Clarence Thomas ,&amp;nbsp; and Michael Steel,must not be viewed as mere appeasers , for choosing their own part to the struggle, that they deem fit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Likewise,&amp;nbsp; prudent radicals ,such&amp;nbsp; Stokley Carmichael,Derrick Bell,&amp;nbsp; Cornel West, Dr du Bois , Louis Farrakhan ,Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Kanye West ,&amp;nbsp; Michael Eric Dyson, and Randell Robinson , must be applauded , for having the gumption to stand up , and demand justice , as they deem fit .&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Many might not remember ,but Stokley &amp;nbsp;Carmichael had to run for his life and &amp;nbsp;live in Afrika ,to escape death or persecutions due to his positions , re struggle for the cause of freedom. Pan Afrikanist Marcus Garvey, along with &amp;nbsp; CLR James, were both deported, the former with the direct help of NAACP founder ,Dr du Bois, who saw him as a treat . The doctor much later, &amp;nbsp;in disgust, had to run to Afrika, to live out the autumn of his years&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;All due to inconsequential differences , &amp;nbsp;Malcolm &amp;nbsp;and Dr MLK , were portrayed, by white establishment media , as diabolical enemies, as &amp;nbsp;was Malcrom , Mohammed Ali , and &amp;nbsp; his one time &amp;nbsp;leader ,Prophet Elijah Mohammed . Sadly though , divided Afrikans &amp;nbsp;folks, in 'These United States ,'are &amp;nbsp;of no use &amp;nbsp;whatsoever , to themselves ,much less America, and the rest of the global Humanity.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Without the Black Caucus , SA's Nelson Mandela ,would be still rotting in &amp;nbsp;Jail , under the American and European supported, savage ,racist , &amp;nbsp;Apartheid &amp;nbsp;system.After years of toiling for the cause of global Afrikans , including against racist Apartheid ,Randell Robinson, packed his bags in disgust, and first ran to Afrika , then settled in the &amp;nbsp;more peaceful tranquil Caribbean, where he now is &amp;nbsp;focused on issues affecting troubled Haiti.&lt;br /&gt;'Rise up ye mighty people!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; With the collective hands on deck, history shows , that &amp;nbsp;the job becomes much lighter, especially for a people still struggling in pitiful neglect, and self delusional power. A people , must not let others define who they should love ,and adore, when all are fighting in the trenches on&amp;nbsp; the cause for scio - economic - com political justice. ‘Diasporic Solidarity,’ remains a useful key, as it ‘s all about an ‘end game,’ I say.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Luv Humanity!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7503347362858462304-8164082942796560633?l=nrayprof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/feeds/8164082942796560633/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7503347362858462304&amp;postID=8164082942796560633' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/8164082942796560633'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/8164082942796560633'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/2011/12/solidarity-via-empathetic-activism.html' title='Solidarity  via  Empathetic Activism'/><author><name>Znendrii</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15552373977076391616</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N_tOjX5Kj7Q/TnEhY6iTtJI/AAAAAAAAAJc/neZqjk8I8Sc/s220/black%2Bbuddha.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503347362858462304.post-2266090723944838937</id><published>2011-12-26T19:10:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-26T19:10:25.181-05:00</updated><title type='text'>EMPATHY &amp; ADVOCACY</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;As &amp;nbsp;2011 rushes to an end , and the wrath of frustrated global citizens are being felt from Russia , to Egypt,Syria, and with few exceptions, the majority of America, we are forced to reflect&amp;nbsp; on what was , and project onto what can be&amp;nbsp;come January and beyond. Where do you stand in the global struggle, for socio economic&amp;nbsp; - com political justice, one might enquire? Still prepared to sit on the sides line and pray for relief? &amp;nbsp;Prefer to pat&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;yourself on the back, as to your good fortunes ,for being a hard working dedicated soul , as an explanation for your tenuous successes , or ready to roll up your sleeves, and join humanist progressives , in what ever manner necessary, to instill meaningful changes , that are destined to make a dent on advancing the cause for all humanity?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; It’s your call , but I am reminded about&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;what the late, great ,Afrikan American Civil Right , activist pioneer, Dr W.E.B. Du Bois ,said about the quest for liberty- not only for his people , but us all. “We must complain , Yes, plain , blunt complaint, ceaseless agitation , unfailing exposure of dishonesty and wrong- this is ancient , unerring way to liberty , and we must follow it.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Do not for one moment think that you have to be a high CEO, to make a difference, or must of necessity, possess the bully pulpit of an ex President, PM , Emperor , or Chief&amp;nbsp;,&amp;nbsp;to instill change . It is equally naive to &amp;nbsp;likewise think, that your conscience can be absolved ,by&amp;nbsp; only donating a portion of your salary to charity , then remaining quiet , due to fear of reprisals from power mongrels, on the glaring injustice you see daily? &amp;nbsp; Nope , such won’t cut it . There is a deeper moral responsibility we bear , and you must find what that is , then do it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Speaking of doing it &amp;nbsp;for others in needy time, I &amp;nbsp;am inspired by a &amp;nbsp;Dr.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;Nick Spiritos in a tear &amp;nbsp;jerker ,CBS 60 minutes feature &amp;nbsp;piece ,about the once prosperous &amp;nbsp;Las Vegas area.

This I am thinking can be &amp;nbsp; my jumping off point, for a &amp;nbsp;new aged, social activist movement, I found myself toying with for quite some time .&amp;nbsp; Well ,let’s just say that I have to go into overdrive , since sometimes 'what you see ain’t what you get ', as &amp;nbsp;some things &amp;nbsp;tends to be more complicated, than &amp;nbsp; they appeared at first glance,on the surface.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Do me a favor &amp;nbsp;folks, and turn on any news &amp;nbsp;forum across America , or rather , scout through the achieves &amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp; the top 100 news organizations, in the country ,for the past twenty five years , and see how many &amp;nbsp;cases &amp;nbsp;of police &amp;nbsp;brutality , much less murders&amp;nbsp;,ou'll find of anyone , that is not an &amp;nbsp;Afrikan male.Just ain't happening. Ok, occasionally an unfortunate hispanic kids form some neglected neighborhood , might get caught in the cross hairs , but more the exception than the rule , I think.

Thanks Rodney King for being the poster child of what is terrible of law enforcement in America.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Recall that recent &amp;nbsp;I presented to you about &amp;nbsp;a 19 year old kid, who &amp;nbsp;,it was claimed , entered a store that was being robbed , quickly exited , confronted cops , who tased , then shot him in the head, as he was running away? &amp;nbsp;Well , something did not add up , and being an old school crime fighting guru myself, I &amp;nbsp;decided to do some facts checking , and low and behold, a different story is evolving as we speak.&amp;nbsp;In short , the dots are just not connecting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;In cyber Columbo digital fashion , and other piecemeal info gathered on the streets,&amp;nbsp;it turns out from the authorities standpoint ,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;that he tried to rob someone of their Poshe vehicle, while the guy was purchasing gas. The car owner got stabbed &amp;nbsp;with a steak knife ,in a struggle ,and is now hospitalized in in critical condition . Not fully satisfied , he&amp;nbsp; decide to take his own vehicle , and&amp;nbsp; rammed the man’s vehicle, then fled the scene.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; Here is where it get’s interesting , though murkey.

She then got close enough to tase him, but he still resisted , and fought her on the ground. Up came her partner , who requested that he stop, which he refused to do. He in turn then shot the perp. Tell me &amp;nbsp;something however , can&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: 12.0px Arial; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;Scorsese, or Tarantino , top that , even with all their Hollywoodian excesses? Did I say his car flipped &amp;nbsp;over? &amp;nbsp;Reminds me of Arnold in Terminator 25 , when that alien character refused to die, yes?

Am I the only one who find's this tattoo obsession favored by too many phony celebs , and their adoring mimic fans ,a bit repulsive? Worst yet , tell me , how the hell can Afrikan people not see the symbolic stupidity , and neo slave behavior of such actions? My&amp;nbsp; 6ft 4 , 14 year old, came to me recently , and whispered that he too &amp;nbsp;was contemplating going that route,after also &amp;nbsp;piercing his ears , because it looks good. I did a double take , then &amp;nbsp;indulged in a short reflective &amp;nbsp;pause ,before responding, but let me admit &amp;nbsp;, that it &amp;nbsp;took all of my reserve ,to not throw him through a window, civilize guy as I am . All I needed to do however was to point at my body , and he got the message.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;So horrified was&amp;nbsp; I , at&amp;nbsp; his request, which forced me to ask the following question :-Where did this come from from? I Don’t wish, to sound like the old nut case &amp;nbsp;pseudo intellectual, immoral &amp;nbsp;phony, Bill Crosby, who forgot how he, back in the day , well... , you can fill in the blanks on all the not too concealed foibles of Dr Huxtable , aka&amp;nbsp; one time Black , comedic pimp of his community, and now convenient spokesman for white , suspect conservative , ‘we are wishing for those good old days&amp;nbsp; of morally sound America,’ mantra, which is hardly convincing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Just wish to remind my Afrikan young princess ,and prince , that this&amp;nbsp; maiming , via branding of your&amp;nbsp; beautiful chocolate &amp;nbsp;skins , is an alien practice, to your ancestors,but was only introduced when they emerged on the European Massa plantation. It was then only used to distinguish them as&amp;nbsp; property for a particular owner, and nothing else.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Well, I take part of that back, and will say this &amp;nbsp;instead. If you wish to find yourself divided along neo tribal lines , by yes &amp;nbsp;,barbaric body desecration practices , and similar unwholesome habits,like early ancestors , then go for it . Not certain how it aided &amp;nbsp;Afrikans still living on the continent, or how it can assist you on whatever new one you’ve landed on. Need I say genocidal savageries from &amp;nbsp;Rwanda,to &amp;nbsp;Sudan, Sirria Leone, Liberia , Nigeria&amp;nbsp;, Kenya,Somalia , Congo, and continuing? Oh by the way , I am about to run &amp;nbsp;for Congress, on a platform that would make genital mutilation ,and polygamy &amp;nbsp;mandatory for all Afrikan families , how do you like that as well, ladies , and gents, with daughters ?

The victims, however do. One cannot  however condone any kind of behavior ,that contravene's  mutually  accepted ,international conventions,and norms , especially as it relates to country's embassies , and it's protection. The reaction to today's British embassy storming , is understandable , bearing in mind what occurred in 1979 , between USA , and Iran.  &lt;div&gt;It is still  not fair , for the corporate, complicit  media ,to dismiss agitated  protesters , as mere mobs, but  one's own , or  close allies, as  prudent ,pro democratic  activist.  Here is a book worth reading, which explains in detail the first CIA orchestrated coup, that ever took place , under the rule of WW2 hero, General Ike , on behalf of those kind peaceful, and Brits , whose leader, Winston Churchill, felt democratic Iran , was not toeing the line enough ,when it came to  sharing their country's oil wealth.&lt;div&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(2, 37, 163); font-family: Georgia; "&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline ; letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/All-Shahs-Men-American-Middle/dp/0471265179"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/All-Shahs-Men-American-Middle/dp/0471265179&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(2, 37, 163); font-family: Georgia; "&gt;They also know that the demonization of Iran's ambition  presently by the five headed elite Security Council monster, while  simultaneously cuddling , none signatory NPT  abusers , such as Israel, India, and Pakistan,  is not only ridiculous , but hypocritical , since America was in bed with the State of Israel close friend ,  in the tyrannical Shah ,to give Iran , what they are demanding today, peaceful nuclear technology , as laid out under the Non Proliferation Treaty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(2, 37, 163); font-family: Georgia; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(2, 37, 163); font-family: Georgia; "&gt;http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/12/29/the_shahs_atomic_dreams&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(2, 37, 163); font-family: Georgia; "&gt; Be aware, and love Humanity!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7503347362858462304-7654138634892813058?l=nrayprof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2011/11/20111129132554123213.html#.TtVX0j9--F0.blogger' title='Iranian protesters storm UK embassy - Middle East - Al Jazeera English'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/feeds/7654138634892813058/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7503347362858462304&amp;postID=7654138634892813058' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/7654138634892813058'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/7654138634892813058'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/2011/11/iranian-protesters-storm-uk-embassy.html' title='Iranian protesters storm UK embassy - Middle East - Al Jazeera English'/><author><name>Znendrii</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15552373977076391616</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N_tOjX5Kj7Q/TnEhY6iTtJI/AAAAAAAAAJc/neZqjk8I8Sc/s220/black%2Bbuddha.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503347362858462304.post-1170386038520647618</id><published>2011-11-27T16:06:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-27T16:06:09.172-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='justice'/><title type='text'>NO CRY ZONE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Just a few years before he died ,due in part to what some said was wanton drug intake ,mainly introduced by some Caribbean doctor, Michael Jackson ,reveled that while still a tiny bitty kid, he&amp;nbsp; was abused by his loving father ,but&amp;nbsp; many of us laugh&amp;nbsp; at the thought that his talented billionaire , who&amp;nbsp; went on to married the Lisa Marie ,daughter of the King of Rock and Roll&amp;nbsp; Elvis Presley ,could ever be abuse&amp;nbsp; in animal like fashion ,like so many&amp;nbsp; lower caste unfortunate kids, Maybe he was&amp;nbsp; just that&amp;nbsp; typical ,opportunistic, media punk , trying to find some solace , sympathy , and excuse, for the questionable&amp;nbsp; , missteps , and or allegations, he too was accused of&amp;nbsp; committing ,towards&amp;nbsp; kids , while&amp;nbsp; humming, and gyrating to to ‘beat it,’ yes?

Too late now however, so time to move on,RIP Michael, and thank goodness your white adopted kids , would be less unfortunate, on all scores, as they publicly cry on TV to show their adoration for you, a supposedly&amp;nbsp; great&amp;nbsp; dad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; How about Oprah Winfrey , remember her lamentations later in her life , while&amp;nbsp; peach at the pinnacle&amp;nbsp; of her billion dollar empire, where no other white , black , yellow , brown , or even&amp;nbsp; red Pocahontas like&amp;nbsp; woman ,ever stood? Oh yes, Oprah , told her audience,she was abused&amp;nbsp; to no end, and so it forced her to become promiscuous, over eat, and&amp;nbsp; become career driven , to be better than ever human on earth , irrespective of color.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Well, many of us thanked Oprah , for drawing&amp;nbsp; our attention ,into an issue ,that too many prefer to pretend only existed on the slave plantation , and not the homes of decent Americans, the torture chambers of juvenile delinquency facilities, by sadistic officials , or who ever felt kids ,were easy fodder for their own perverse pleasure. Yes , pseudo journalist authors such&amp;nbsp; Kitty Kelley , has&amp;nbsp; tried to present a different picture , with her alleged objective book , but who cares to tarnish the image , or incur the wrath of Queen Oprah? Definitely not her family, lifetime boyfriend Stedman Graham ,&amp;nbsp; some jealous school mate, or octogenarian CEO , who gave her that first taste of stardom , back in Mississippi , or is it Chicago, as we have lost track?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; My only reason for bringing&amp;nbsp; up these two celebrities&amp;nbsp; ,is to show that abuse&amp;nbsp; is not an easy problem to eradicate , as there are often numerous taboo cultural explanations&amp;nbsp; for causes,that the social scientist aren’t interested in , and worst yet, lawmakers are less concern on serious persecutions , once more for logistic , political reasons, for why when Kids are none voters , and&amp;nbsp; memories can fail them , should most believe them is the thinking. So what some say,if &amp;nbsp; Mormons, and Catholic clergy engaged in sexual&amp;nbsp; outrages, just leave it along , no? NGO mismanaging freaks,&amp;nbsp; at Penn State ,that abused the trust of&amp;nbsp; desperate kids&amp;nbsp; decades ago, followed by&amp;nbsp; institutional , cover&amp;nbsp; ups, of&amp;nbsp; the barbarianism&amp;nbsp; acts&amp;nbsp; , to protect iconic Football coaches?

All Afrikans are savages , and expendable in his opinion. neither would his loving christian wife at the loss of a few Colombian &amp;nbsp; under aged drug mules, or Mexican rival gang kids , get caught in the crossfire of the finely manufactured &amp;nbsp; made in American weaponry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The past three Presidents of the United States ,and now Barrack Obama ,as well as&amp;nbsp; his future rivals, in the Republican Party, to the world ,&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; most of Europe ,but to them, and Nato counterparts , decade old wars , and&amp;nbsp; draconian&amp;nbsp; economic sanctions , to combat American hating Muslims ,from&amp;nbsp; Afghanistan, Libya ,&amp;nbsp; and Iraq,are quite acceptable , even if millions of under aged kids were&amp;nbsp; murdered in&amp;nbsp; the process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; I know what you are saying , what does this have to do with abuse , when evil acts such as&amp;nbsp; genital mutilations in Kenya&amp;nbsp; , as well as South Afrikan male&amp;nbsp; rapes of baby virgin girls , needs our pressing attention? I am with you, but again , my concern is to give an over view as to&amp;nbsp; how complex the issue&amp;nbsp; of&amp;nbsp; child abuse ,can be for us all ,when we become selectively outraged , and use our&amp;nbsp; culturally leveled ethnographic scales, to&amp;nbsp; decide ,what&amp;nbsp; entails abuses , where it&amp;nbsp; is taking place&amp;nbsp; place, and how it can be erradicated. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; We should not be afraid to confront this scrooge&amp;nbsp; ,when we observe it, be it something as simple as Corporal punishment, of not only celebs , but seemingly, insignificant humans , wherever they exist on the planet. Say yes to justice, and save the tears. Many have moved on with their lives, fortunately , but as for others ,the pain lingers on, and so they must be encouraged to stand up , and speak out , so that culprits would acknowledge wrongs done, pay a price where still possible , as this would remove the shame from victims , embolden silent sufferers to &amp;nbsp; push back, and not only create closure , but halt the cycle , when victims become the eventual aggressors.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Got to run , my little sister&amp;nbsp; of two teenaged kids herself , wants some help from me ,&amp;nbsp; in&amp;nbsp; researching an over due , Criminal Justice paper ,she has to write , on the topic , ‘should&amp;nbsp; under aged criminal kids ,be tried as adults?’ My work is a bit difficult ,as she is convinced that they should , as some are born evil,and must be taught a lesson. Did OI mention , that she was abused as a kid herself? Oh yes , without the knowledge of their father ,at nine ,her step mom ,would repeatedly&amp;nbsp; flog, both&amp;nbsp; her , and&amp;nbsp; not much older brother , then further humiliate them , by forcing them&amp;nbsp; to go naked&amp;nbsp; out of the house, amongst&amp;nbsp; the general public. Well, it’s&amp;nbsp; the way of&amp;nbsp; the world,but stay tune , as we build bridges to the future.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;Luv Humanity!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7503347362858462304-1170386038520647618?l=nrayprof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/feeds/1170386038520647618/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7503347362858462304&amp;postID=1170386038520647618' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/1170386038520647618'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/1170386038520647618'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/2011/11/no-cry-zone.html' title='NO CRY ZONE'/><author><name>Znendrii</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15552373977076391616</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N_tOjX5Kj7Q/TnEhY6iTtJI/AAAAAAAAAJc/neZqjk8I8Sc/s220/black%2Bbuddha.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503347362858462304.post-2658780357280128413</id><published>2011-11-23T11:47:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-23T11:54:51.041-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Breaking down Walls</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;To be or not to be , is that the question, for former Speaker &amp;nbsp;Newt &amp;nbsp;Gingrich , or his fellow rivals, in last night's debate. &amp;nbsp;I have a confession to make , and it is that beyond my previous apprehensions &amp;nbsp;,I must conclude, that the debate was an enjoy last night's CNN &amp;nbsp;Heritage Foreign Policy &amp;nbsp;GOP debate. With few exceptions,most of the candidates accounted well for themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; Newt was the obvious winner to many , in terms of delivery , and mastery of his facts, intellectual as he is. I would have Ambassador Huntsman coming in a very close second, &amp;nbsp;a spirited ,steady ,fervent Libertarian, pro constitutionalist advocate, &amp;nbsp;Ron Paul , third , with the rest &amp;nbsp;of the bunch , all tied for last, lying Willard Romney included.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Say what you wish about Newt , but it &amp;nbsp;would certainly be interesting to see him spar with Barrack Obama come next Presidential debate , dirty laundry and all. &amp;nbsp;I must admit , that again, &amp;nbsp;like most, I too, was not &amp;nbsp;a big fan for the most part ,,of the 'Grinchster ,' but I am fast coming around , just like many Denver , and desperate &amp;nbsp;NFL &amp;nbsp;enthusiasts &amp;nbsp;,who think that &amp;nbsp;suspect Quarterback ,Tim Tebow ,is the real deal, irrespective of all the evidence to the contrary.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; Well , he too is winning , even as the media pundits , and sporting gods ,highlight his flaws. We will see how both cases plays &amp;nbsp;out.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;One of the criticisms that tend to burden most of today's politicians , is that they lack moral character , and so , often flip flop, when it suits them. It is the prime reason why Willard Romney, will never be &amp;nbsp;anything but viewed as a &amp;nbsp;pro Wall Street ,anti People ,millionaire ,closet Liberal , forever pretending, to be an exemplary &amp;nbsp;, compassionate Republican, with a vision for America, and his desperate party.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Newt as I said, has his issues , and though on the surface appears a bit substantive in a Mc Donald ,destructive calories ,fast food manner , &amp;nbsp;fool's no one on his outsider , anti establishment, media savvy &amp;nbsp;rhetoric's, but one still can gauge where his heart is.He however threw a nifty , possibly touchdown &amp;nbsp;pass, in the arena, last night , due to his novel stance, on immigration , that might give a few million illegal &amp;nbsp;immigrants, across the country a bit of hope , since Barrack Obama seems scared to touch the matter until his second term begins. &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/newt-gingrich-immigration-republican-presidential-debate-humane-article-1.981677"&gt;http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/newt-gingrich-immigration-republican-presidential-debate-humane-article-1.981677&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; Let me add for the record the following. The most important issue that would be at stake ,come next election is that of immigration , and humanist &amp;nbsp;justice ,for the millions stuck in a state of ambiance in America, and the reasons are simple. America as a nation, is undergoing some of it worst economic periods since the depression. Part of that is due to economic &amp;nbsp;mismanagement, &amp;nbsp;questionable prioritization &amp;nbsp;by political leaders, and &amp;nbsp;unregulated ,corporate greed, &amp;nbsp;on the part of those &amp;nbsp;symbolic &amp;nbsp;1% , business entities ,who have made off like &amp;nbsp;bandits, at the expense of the majority.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;As citizens hurt , they seek causes for their pain , therefore , immigrants become convenient scapegoats. This country via misguided Foreign policies, has &amp;nbsp;interfered in more countries across the globe , than can be imagined to the un initiated thinker , this obviously, has &amp;nbsp;fall out implications, some good, and others no so.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;One of them is &amp;nbsp;runaway &amp;nbsp;immigration, as victims from drug haven , gun ladened , economically desperate Mexico , to Pluto , Sudan , Egypt , Iraq , Columbia , and counting. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Since slavery ended , and genocidal Jim Crow began , immigration has always had some impact in the Land of the free. We need visionary leader to take bold stands. Many of the present crop of candidates , including Obama their rival , has always paid tribute to Ronald Reagan , so let see how much they mean it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128303672"&gt;http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128303672&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Not many folks know that Newt Gingrich had a major role in enabling millions of illegal immigrant ,a chance to regularize their status under the Ronald Reagan amnesty program in the 1980's.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Let the wall breaking begin, as it is less costly than constructing border barriers , especially since the majority of immigrants, do not jump fences &amp;nbsp;to enter this great country.&lt;br /&gt;Love Humanity!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7503347362858462304-2658780357280128413?l=nrayprof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/feeds/2658780357280128413/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7503347362858462304&amp;postID=2658780357280128413' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/2658780357280128413'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/2658780357280128413'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/2011/11/breaking-down-walls.html' title='Breaking down Walls'/><author><name>Znendrii</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15552373977076391616</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N_tOjX5Kj7Q/TnEhY6iTtJI/AAAAAAAAAJc/neZqjk8I8Sc/s220/black%2Bbuddha.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503347362858462304.post-7243526817452521741</id><published>2011-11-22T20:32:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-22T20:32:08.145-05:00</updated><title type='text'>War ,Peace , &amp; Economic Justice</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Well ,once more it’s another of those myriad of Presidential primary debates, that we the people will be subjected to. The theme this time, we were told by CNN, would be&amp;nbsp; Foreign policy.&amp;nbsp; What do we know ,former House Speaker ,Newt Gingrich, perhaps&amp;nbsp; the most immoral political figure , that ever ran for higher office, is in the lead, and&amp;nbsp; I am reminded of another speaker in Tip O’ Neal&amp;nbsp; who once advised us in words that “all politics is local.” Hopefully the prospective candidates, are aware of that.&amp;nbsp; So what are&amp;nbsp; the biggest stories across the international community , that&amp;nbsp; any&amp;nbsp; real leader , should be concern about , and or ,must address either presently, or in the future. There are thousands of agitated , economically struggling American citizens , operating using &amp;nbsp;Occupy&amp;nbsp;Wall Street , as a background theme to vent their anger , and what they claim are a greedy 1% business class, who reap most of the &amp;nbsp;country’s wealth, while they the 99% ,do all the hard work, and pay most of the taxes, to keep the country alive, or support&amp;nbsp; too many foreign bums, and indulge in useless wars?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Ordinarily these fights are limited to workers , dealing with the daily grind, but today there is a new twist , as change has come domestically , for these are&amp;nbsp; mostly folks who were energized to take action in support of their own interest outside of a narrow ballot box . Many of the them are young people, who voted for the first time in 2008 , for Barrack Obama , but have seen their standard of living fall drastically , as campaign promises continually got broken , and gridlock became the norm between a partisan Congress , and Senate , to unlike anytime in previous history , are willing to deliberately destroy the political chances of a sitting president , by opposing every policy he put forth to bring relief to the nation. Not surprisingly ,he has resorted to a more robust Foreign policy , to&amp;nbsp; remain relevant, which obviously bring us to the present situation. Across the globe , we have the tail end of an unruly Arab Spring&amp;nbsp; movement , where advocates , are finding , just like their American counterparts , that progress towards meaningful changes , are dripping along slowly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;There is&amp;nbsp; the American supported , 2 billion dollar per year&amp;nbsp; ,military junta &amp;nbsp;in Egypt, that prods along , and desecrate the rights of agitated , protesting&amp;nbsp; citizens. Iran in a devastated Iraq, is seen by all as&amp;nbsp; the evil&amp;nbsp; empire , about to acquire dreaded nuclear weapons , and so destroy the entire world , including the&amp;nbsp; historically abused Jews , from the State of Israel, who for the record has enough unacknowledged&amp;nbsp; nuclear weapons , that that destroy Iran , and every perceived&amp;nbsp; Islamist enemy , 5000 time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; All the candidate would follow Barrack Obama lead and pledge domestic and foreign allegiance to&amp;nbsp; Israel, and even with all the domestic&amp;nbsp; economic woes, would instead cut every social domestic service , and entitlement of benefit to American citizens , as opposed to touching the&amp;nbsp; 3 billion yearly,&amp;nbsp; in aid to a close ally.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0225a3; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ifamericaknew.org/stats/usaid.html"&gt;http://www.ifamericaknew.org/stats/usaid.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Fast forward to Syria , and we see a Assad regime, that can fast make Qaddafi&amp;nbsp; in Libya , look like a&amp;nbsp; peaceful Boys Scout&amp;nbsp; Jamboree , in comparison&amp;nbsp; in terms of abuse and violence.

The King of Pop , likewise&amp;nbsp; felt it did not matter if it’s Black or White, which is his right. My concern is different , and here it is. If 50 white women ,were either raped, or&amp;nbsp; murdered in the past 50 months,&amp;nbsp; by white males , and&amp;nbsp; justice was not served, since , all&amp;nbsp; escaped the long arms of the law , yet , in contrast ,since the end of slavery ,500,000, Afrikan American&amp;nbsp; males either died , or experienced an unsavory end ,for simply thinking about indulging in the same atrocious&amp;nbsp; actions?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I am thinking about my 14 year old son , who thinks he has a chance of being a Football star&amp;nbsp; , but has no conception of who OJ Simpsom&amp;nbsp; was ., and I need to&amp;nbsp; enlighten him . Hey son , OJ was a rags to riches American idol , who like Herman Cain ,used his God given talent ,to be a force in America, that in his estimation , transcend race , and enable him to&amp;nbsp; become one of the&amp;nbsp; all time great sporting&amp;nbsp; iconic figures. Unlike Herman Cain , he instead had the looks, and became the movie, and media advertising star ,that white guys loved, so much so, that they all wish he could come home to dinner like Sidney Poitier fictional character, to have dinner with their delicate daughters, which he did , after discarding his black ,one time abused woman. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The tragedy with him was , that he, like MJ , and now Herman Cain , did not know&amp;nbsp; that yes , it mattered if it’s Black or White. Thanks to Kim Kardashain Papa , who crashed in on his&amp;nbsp; billions , 99.9% of white America was able to conclude&amp;nbsp; ,that he walked away&amp;nbsp; from a&amp;nbsp; murder rap, of &amp;nbsp; his rags to riches wife Nicole, and her youthful ,Jewish boyfriend, but then due to his own stupidity, they got their revenge decades later as he&amp;nbsp; is presently doing time , for robbing himself , like a low end , illiterate nobody .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Cain would likewise do time ,though of a different type, as he reminisce come November 2012, on how , or why, he was unable to snag&amp;nbsp; the Republican ticket to take a stab at his less Afrikan American “brother from a different mother&amp;nbsp; ,” after marrying , and loving the same woman for 42 years . &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0225a3; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv4GGbK60J8"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv4GGbK60J8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;Such fine family values, but none relevant if you are Black , not White.

I say no. Leading actress,Audrey&amp;nbsp; Hepburn ,did exactly what Angela , and Mia have done for charity , but with a bit more class, knowing fully well that she , as a UN Goodwill Ambassador ,was a role model. The difference , was that Audrey was not&amp;nbsp; American by birth , but a naturalized citizen. Elin Nordegren , Tiger Woods wife ,lived the crazy whirlwind , rags to riches life , just like Kim , and any of the similar wild puppies that masquerade across our media, but in the end, she walked away cooly with over 100 million, her babies, found a new boyfriend, and yet on TV show , book deal or reality TV replication , and the difference maker ?&amp;nbsp; You bet . She too , was&amp;nbsp; not from here , but&amp;nbsp; instead&amp;nbsp; Sweden. Am I on a roll here?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Not to be outdone, are the celebrity political, and Corporate , American women , and leading the cast is none other than Hillary Tammy Wynnet Clinton. That stand by her man loyalty, made her into a millionaire global star, of epic proportion. That leaves us with the two&amp;nbsp; colorless&amp;nbsp; Rice sisters&amp;nbsp; , Condi , and&amp;nbsp; Susan&amp;nbsp; . We can then throw in&amp;nbsp; CEO&amp;nbsp; Ursula Burns , and wrap it all up with Oprah.

Since actions&amp;nbsp; ,speak louder than words, here is a quote to prove my point, as Hillary Tammy Wynnet , tries not too hard to ingratiate herself with struggling Americans. As the country titters on the brink of total anarchy , collapse , and civil war due to unemployment, and failed governmental policies and selfish greed by over cuddled , vision less business entities, she said the following:- “ China has been gaming the system&amp;nbsp; to hold down the currency&amp;nbsp; to give it’s companies a leg up,Brazil and India , growing economies have transformed them into world powers, , have put economics at the center of their foreign policies. We have&amp;nbsp; to position ourselves to lead in a world where security&amp;nbsp; is shaped in the boardrooms and on the trading floors, as well as our battle field.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Really Hillary, and what were you doing for the past two years as you traverse the globe, giving Israel the green light&amp;nbsp; to build more settlement, and the middle finger to Palestinian Arabs seeking justice? The last time I checked , no one was making any bold step including you to tell China to join the 21st century and end it’s blatant Human Rights abuses , child labor pirating , and infringement of copyrights laws , as they steal American inventions, produce sub par products , with no adherence to globally acceptable standard , to then flood the markets for&amp;nbsp; desperate Americans. Do you dare to tell one of the thousands of companies that support your husband fancy economic development initiatives , that they should start being patriotic , and invest in America , so as to offer employments to Americans ?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; Since you were” ready from day one,&amp;nbsp; “ to support G.W. Bush wars , and so did nothing more than support further escalation in Afghanistan, and Iraq , because you did not want history to show 50 years from now, that America lost another war against war ,or help emboldened radical Islam , while an inexperience ,disingenuous female ,one time young Republican ,Secretary of State,called Hillary ,was in charge,should we take you seriously?.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Well naturally , Hillary as an American herself ,is playing into a phony culture of 50 million pieces , of still disgruntled fans&amp;nbsp; of&amp;nbsp; people , that would support her run again for the Presidency&amp;nbsp; , this time against her present&amp;nbsp; boss Obama, without admitting that had he been white like the previous leaders before him , this would not be the case. So embedded is the phoniness.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0225a3; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px color: #000000;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20021921-503544.html"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20021921-503544.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The phoniness of the national 4th estate media establishment is legendary, as too many try to hide behind psyco babble , jargon , and suspect ideology by speaking out forcefully on everything that ills America today, but were all silent as the country’s first MBA&amp;nbsp; President G.W.

Saw a bit of the GOP debate , and with the exception of the refreshingly candid Ron Paul , nothing of relevance, really sprang out at me as far as the predictable debate . Let's just say that the woman that affectionately labeled as &amp;nbsp; Obama’s baby mama Michelle , can afford to order new drapes for the White House come 2012, as her husband will be crushing this dumb down&amp;nbsp; bunch , hands down. Her bigger task would however be to encourage Afrikan kids in America to eat smaller portions, stay active in some physical exercise, and consumption of healthy meals , which of necessity must include vegetables. Trust me on that .&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Well, as for the hard core political predictions ,I have been wrong before , and the penchant for many Americans to fall for snake oil &amp;nbsp;flakes, and con men, who do not have their full interest at heart , is well known. Who can forget millions of old folks voters ,slurping up the cool aid, as given to them by Compassionate fake Conservative , Dick Cheny , and his boss student ,G.W. Bush , then eventually when the dust was settled ,lining up on the highway to head to Canada , in effort to purchase cheap prescriptions, &amp;nbsp;for their heart maladies, and arthritis later. Congrats , Rick Perry , for you have the &amp;nbsp;Reagan swag.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;We remembered &amp;nbsp;the smoking mushroom cloud , and the vial shown to the world at the UN Security Council by an ex military General Powell ,turned politician, and his equally delusional, plantation kitchen friend, in political pianist,&amp;nbsp;Condi Rice, and of course the rest is history, Axis of Evil notwithstanding.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;As a main course , we were treated to a recession , two stupid unending wars ,costing billions per week, and as expected , a somewhat black successor, assuming all the blame for the woes of the entire country , including slavery,Vietnam war, Hitler,genocide of the Red man, and the Black Plague. &amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Thanks &amp;nbsp;Ron , for telling them like it is . Yes ,we know you cannot win , but your voice , just like Ralph Nader,is still relevant to the discourse, as someone got to tell it like it is. Getting the government off our backs is not some catch phase , but serious business. Cutting spending , must not only be on the poor's plate,, but also for corporate elites, and the military industrial complex. Muslims do not hate Americans , as many want the same things for their families.Namely, freedoms, justice, and peaceful coexistence amongst all&amp;nbsp; empowered men , and women.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Once the political charade was ended , I started switching the channel, and pounced upon the Miss Universe Pageant.

The trend started in earnest &amp;nbsp;during the much revered &amp;nbsp;Cold War , with the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan, then decades later it was well , who ever &amp;nbsp;Pakistan found palatable , in the Post Taliban period .&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The &amp;nbsp;script is still being written however, on that &amp;nbsp;craziness, at the exorbitant cost to American Taxpayers in lives, at some $2 &amp;nbsp;billions per week, with no win in sight , for the foreseeable future. That is, irrespective of what the military pundits, and their corporate bosses think, and &amp;nbsp;or ,say to the contrary. &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/18/afghanistan-war-cost_n_850293.html"&gt;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/18/afghanistan-war-cost_n_850293.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I would leave out the political travesty in Iraq , as Nobel Peace &amp;nbsp;head guru &amp;nbsp;,Uncle Obama , is putting the final pieces together to take &amp;nbsp;that new stoned aged ,Babylonian country , into a future 51st state, of these United States, if only he can exit, maybe two weeks before his second term ends in 2016,without being blamed by every Republican yapper , for also &amp;nbsp;loosing the Vietnam ,and &amp;nbsp;Korean war, as well as wars on poverty, drugs, crime.What a sick joke !&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Just imagine for a second if WW11 was fought with such inept leadership thinking, but more importantly ,no meaningful end game strategy.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; How about Egypt? I guess having military elites run that country for another four decades is progress, and a testament of globalization of democracy.Sad, but neighboring Israel is happy , as a strong Arab ally means something , in that politically tumultuous region, where foes and friends can take on differing characteristics ,depending on who is looking.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; So I was watching CNN yesterday , between snippets of an &amp;nbsp;NFL preseason game between my son's favorite team Baltimore Ravens, and Washington Redskin, as well as the always exciting ,Little League World series , and there was this beautiful &amp;nbsp;British accented African news anchor, as usual, &amp;nbsp;parroting her &amp;nbsp;empty , corporate media lines , about the seemingly successful beat down of another Arab , or is it African State, in &amp;nbsp;resource laden Libya.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Amidst the triumphalism of NATO forces, led by USA , and France,for furthering the cause &amp;nbsp;of democracy, by getting rid of a dictator, and planning ahead ,as to who would get the most of the &amp;nbsp;economic spoils , after &amp;nbsp;restoring order , unlike the American debacles &amp;nbsp;in Iraq,they decided to reveal something of paramount importance.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; No , it was not that alleged kidnapped , embedded journalist, were finally freed , by the African Arab barbarians , but that we should in ever so subtle ways , be &amp;nbsp;happy about the good leadership of G.W. Bush , and his compassionate conservatism, as opposed to acknowledge the astute political stewardship of Uncle Obama for , doing what even Ronald Reagn could not do, in ending decades of military dictatorship reign by a misguided , megalomaniac .&lt;br /&gt;'Gadaffi not only feared Condi Rice , G.W Bush handpick, first female Afrikan &amp;nbsp;Secretary of State, but admired her , on how she stood up to Arab leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;There it is &amp;nbsp;. How dare any one , including book pedaling , political bandit,Dick Cheney , say that Professor , 'Eye&amp;nbsp;Candy Rice ,'&amp;nbsp;was &amp;nbsp;a clueless political &amp;nbsp;coward, who served no useful purpose for all of mankind , during all her time in active politics?&lt;br /&gt;We should continue to keep our fingers cross, and see how this entire situation plays out. Namely , will his book make more money that that of fellow criminal pals, &amp;nbsp; Donald Rumfield, &amp;nbsp;G. W Bush ,and his Dad G.H, their respective &amp;nbsp;boss.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Ok Syria &amp;nbsp;President Assad, we know that you &amp;nbsp;and your , barbarian Arab &amp;nbsp;fiefdom ,is far away from your North Afrikan cousin Murmar, but nevertheless , the &amp;nbsp;following statement might still be applicable,and here it is for your edification:- "When your neighbor's house is on fire, burn yours......" or is it wet?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Better yet ,and it's your call , so &amp;nbsp;pray, and fast during Ramadan -as you continue to repeatedly &amp;nbsp;murder your innocent citizens ,for demanding freedom , and economic liberation- or , &amp;nbsp;that your buddies in Iran, find a way to make the second nuclear bomb , before &amp;nbsp;US close, non NPT signatory , nuclear &amp;nbsp;state ,partner ,Israel, resort once more to doing &amp;nbsp;the biddings of their Washington handlers ,by bombing &amp;nbsp;their facility, as was done to yours , or is it the other way around?&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/opinion/2011/08/201182281512952586.html"&gt;http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/opinion/2011/08/201182281512952586.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just cannot figure out the political machinations of that volatile area. &lt;a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article2461421.ece"&gt;http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article2461421.ece&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Now &amp;nbsp;you know why going nuclear &amp;nbsp;technology remains so attractive &amp;nbsp;folks , when no country in possession of nuclear weapons was ever attacked by another &amp;nbsp;with one.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sorry Gaddafi,it's now &amp;nbsp;too late, and only a matter of time before you are dragged out of in &amp;nbsp;Saddam &amp;nbsp;like fox hole &amp;nbsp;fashion, by rival &amp;nbsp;tribes, tempted by lucrative bounties .&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ah yes, political de Javu, again.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7503347362858462304-934688342233092554?l=nrayprof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/feeds/934688342233092554/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7503347362858462304&amp;postID=934688342233092554' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/934688342233092554'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/934688342233092554'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/2011/08/political-de-javu.html' title='Political De JAVU'/><author><name>Znendrii</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15552373977076391616</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N_tOjX5Kj7Q/TnEhY6iTtJI/AAAAAAAAAJc/neZqjk8I8Sc/s220/black%2Bbuddha.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503347362858462304.post-5893346301692705415</id><published>2011-08-21T13:12:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-08-21T13:12:58.635-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='social observation'/><title type='text'>Land of the Free, genocidal, and terror minded</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Went for my usual Zoo York morning run , and this time , thanks to my Starbucks attendance friend, it was Long Beach ,Strong Island, and low and behold , whoop ,there it was, a craft sale, along with a multitude of people enjoying the scenery, toning up their bodies, and exposing where appropriate, for those that care to look. Had a chat with one of the only few Afrikans on the entire promenade , and she was from Kenya, selling , along with her European friend, lovely handmade crafts, including &amp;nbsp;of chains, and bracelets. Same tribe as Obama father. How interesting. Kind of reminded me of a close friend I had from her country who died tragically in Kuwait border with Iraq,but another story for another occasion.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sorry Starbucks &amp;nbsp;friend , but $12 &amp;nbsp;per person &amp;nbsp;, 13 years and over ,to use the beach? Something just ain't right , as that &amp;nbsp;was too much for me , since the part of the world where I emanated from , it's unthinkable to pay to use natures bounties.&lt;br /&gt;Do you agree that &amp;nbsp;there is no better medium to make a powerful statement , than via a T-Shirt? If so, glad you did.I have been thinking about venturing down that partway for quite some time, ever since &amp;nbsp;completing my four hours , Learning Annex class, some three &amp;nbsp;years ago. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;As I strolled along ,my eyes was caught by two very interesting T -Shirts ,which had me almost grinning from ear, to ear. So poignant were the words, and thus , an &amp;nbsp;inspiration, for today's blog.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;One read, 'Sure we trust our government, just ask an Indian.' As for the other , it said, 'Homeland Security , Since 1492,' and the picture, had five armed Indians, with solemn , and or menacing looks, holding up their ancient rifles ,that did absolutely nada&amp;nbsp;,to intimidate '&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Old Hickory,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;"Andrew Jackson that genocidal &amp;nbsp;criminal, that despised all Indians ever born , with a passion. along with the Afrikan slaves ,that dared befriended them , so much so , that he was an ardent supporter of slavery, and favored the removal of all Indians from their lands of choice , so that his fellow Christian &amp;nbsp;Europeans cousins , &amp;nbsp;could flourish unimpeded. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.helium.com/items/153807-andrew-jackson-and-his-role-in-the-genocide-of-the-native-americans"&gt;http://www.helium.com/items/153807-andrew-jackson-and-his-role-in-the-genocide-of-the-native-americans&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Oh yes, 'old hockery,' felt that "the best Indian was a dead one,"and Africans were best to remain as they were, in shackles , since all 160 of his personal slaves , as well as that of fellow Southern gentlemen farming businessmen ,served a useful economic purpose, but don't expect to read about this in any glorified history books , written by those selective amnesiac, intellectuals.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.pbs.org/kcet/andrewjackson/themes/what_does_america_owe_its_slaves.html"&gt;http://www.pbs.org/kcet/andrewjackson/themes/what_does_america_owe_its_slaves.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So quite appropriate T-Shirt I &amp;nbsp;would say, and &amp;nbsp;I promptly purchased one , with plans to wear it proudly, for the world to see. Ah the life of a political animal!&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.quixote-quest.org/resources/Feedback/fulton_impeachment.html"&gt;http://www.quixote-quest.org/resources/Feedback/fulton_impeachment.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Just for the record, the folks who were selling &amp;nbsp;in this particular booth,were from Central , or is it South America, as their good ,now docile, and very &amp;nbsp;peaceful,&amp;nbsp;Norte &amp;nbsp;Americana cousins, were either, high rolling casino owners in New Mexico,and Vargas,real estate tycoons ,who occasionally &amp;nbsp;would &amp;nbsp;rent trailer parks ,for desperate European retirees on expanded , tax free reservations , or worst yet , perpetually high, from praying to too many unreachable , Eagle gods, while drinking themselves into a stupor, over the &amp;nbsp;mere thoughts, of what had become of their cherished homes, in these United States, aka Land of the Free.&lt;br /&gt;Ah , but were , outside of our budding handcraft &amp;nbsp; entrepreneur, are those Afrikans, either on Long Beach, or in this debate on their rights, past injustices, and possible future compensations?

I am talking about my&amp;nbsp; two Kenyan friends , who while living millions of miles away in America , is using their&amp;nbsp; hard earned salaries, to&amp;nbsp; help send girls in need&amp;nbsp; to school, back home, or working with leading doctors , and organization &amp;nbsp;to start&amp;nbsp; providing medical assistance to the needy kids , and parents in that region. How about another , who has help organize sporting , and academic scholarships , for hard working kids back home in Kenya &amp;nbsp;, at Universities and Colleges in the developed part of the globe?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Then there is my Ugandan cyber friend, that saw a need for the prosecuted ,Batwa tribal peoples , and so &amp;nbsp;with much personal sacrifices ,formed an organization towards that end. &amp;nbsp;He took a page out of the book of another, now famous Ugandan who likewise started a thriving organization , to build schools and community infrastructures &amp;nbsp;for orphans of Aids, that can now be a model &amp;nbsp;for others so desirous.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;I cannot forget a passionate journalist , from a tiny Caribbean ,resource laden ,Twin Island Republic-I am so well acquainted with - that tries to bring the news to the neglected people of his tiny island enclave , but due to financial constraints ,and inability&amp;nbsp; to purchase necessary equipments ,finds it difficult . The result of this ? You bet . The truth then , cannot be told as effectively to the masses, on the &amp;nbsp;blatant &amp;nbsp;injustices, they continually experience ,at the hands of self serving &amp;nbsp;politicians , and business entities , in a racially calamitous environment , and such is a tragedy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I cannot forget&amp;nbsp; another friend&amp;nbsp; in the USA , whose unemployed wife got her first job , as at a recently created organization aimed at helping to empower former&amp;nbsp; sex slaves , and exploited women&amp;nbsp; from Asia, and similar regions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Obviously ,it is not only in Africa, and Caribbean , but&amp;nbsp; across the much&amp;nbsp; wider global community&amp;nbsp; , where folks are trying to make a difference, but there is the biggest irony. The situation remains the same whether in the developed Industrial North , or developing global South. Desperate folks are homeless, hungry, psychologically ravaged, discriminated, exploited, hungry, abused , and uncompensated by exploiters for centuries , with little relief in sight. The few courageous ones &amp;nbsp;that dare take a stand , are in need of help, and naturally ,this remains financial.&amp;nbsp; The problems might be created in the under developed worlds , but will eventually spread via refugees , political hatred and anger ,as globalization is not only limited to business enterprises as narrowly interpreted , by naive intellectuals.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; How therefore do I see myself in this mix , of trying to help, for each of these groups mentioned , and several more have reached out to me for financial help . &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I too have contemplated the creation of a few organizations to address issues of critical importance I have observed across the social landscape. After all , the inspirational work of NBA Star Mutumbo can spur any into action, as he through grit , and efforts created a hospital in memory of his late mom in war torn Congo, most with the help of donations from global friends, who understood his vision. &amp;nbsp;What role do I see my self serving most effectively in? Rapper Wycleff Jean , before he naively dabbled in Haitian convoluted , political mumbo jumbo , was an NGO force to reckon with, and likewise inspiration. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Znend is, and why not? &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7503347362858462304-3254414467478126889?l=nrayprof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/feeds/3254414467478126889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7503347362858462304&amp;postID=3254414467478126889' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/3254414467478126889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/3254414467478126889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/2011/08/dragon-slayer.html' title='DRAGON SLAYER'/><author><name>Znendrii</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15552373977076391616</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N_tOjX5Kj7Q/TnEhY6iTtJI/AAAAAAAAAJc/neZqjk8I8Sc/s220/black%2Bbuddha.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503347362858462304.post-5597499653968183071</id><published>2011-07-19T19:59:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-07-19T19:59:49.743-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Pandering R Us</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Just saw a couple things in the media , and it made me mad as hell, and I swear I won’t take it anymore , even if I cannot do anything , but rant.Here they are in order of levels in which it made me mad.

Let’s keep it real people ,for &amp;nbsp;is there a body of people on this planet, that has been more hated , maligned , ignored, demonized , and abused ,than &amp;nbsp;Global Afrikan people? Wake me up if you can , and let me watch you fail as you try to convince me that 800,000 Europeans would be murdered in one month, and the much revered &amp;nbsp;international Community led by the self serving , five headed monster,political power of USA, China, France , Russian, and &amp;nbsp;Great Britain&amp;nbsp;,&amp;nbsp;would sit idly by twiddling their thumbs, while&amp;nbsp; sipping tea , with a Caucasian Secretary General , trying to interpret, the finer intricacies, on what passes for International Laws on what is genocide.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Give me a pat on the head , the day the sole remaining global Super Power USA , would have it’s entire Domestic , and International policies, shaped by the need to advance the causes of an Afrikan individual, state , much less Continent, the way they have for fellow Europeans , Israel , any Jewish person,living , dead, or&amp;nbsp; still stuck in their Mamas womb, and or wiggling their way to future life as an insignificant sperm in Papas&amp;nbsp; sexual bank.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Can I get a hollar, when Afrikan people from Australia, to Timbucktu,Ukrain to Columbia, Brazil, Southern Italy, North Carolina, Virginia, Northumberland, Prince Edwards Island, Beijing&amp;nbsp; , New Deli , and Rijhad, and still European Economically dominated ,South Afrika, would be treated with the love ,and respect&amp;nbsp; due like any other race of people on earth, even by their own ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Let me see by show of hands, all who wish to call Jupiter home any time soon , as wasteful expenditures are used on Space programs.

Sadly though , no one is willing &amp;nbsp;to own up to their responsibilities, as to how the situations got this precarious,why it continues unabated,almost as if akin to a &amp;nbsp;norm ,and what can be immediately &amp;nbsp;done &amp;nbsp;,to rectify the ever expanding , ghastly &amp;nbsp;situation , as &amp;nbsp;a first step to healing the fragile planet, and &amp;nbsp;therefore ,make this a more pleasant,global environment,we can still all wish to call home.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Ironically ,there are many things that Global Afrikans are,&amp;nbsp; as a collective&amp;nbsp; people , as opposed to what they have been portrayed &amp;nbsp;so to be, or worst yet ,come to &amp;nbsp;fully accept .They are beautiful , peaceful, loving , law abiding , industrious , enterprising ,and resilient people , as proven in numerous occasions across history.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; They are no more over sexed,uncivilized,ugly,abusive,morally callous,culturally depraved savages, than any Asian,European,or Eskimo, alive.They bleed the same blood, just like other fellow humans,had their resources repeatedly stolen by more races of people alive,or&amp;nbsp; dead, and are the people that have contributed most to the development of &amp;nbsp;other civilizations , via their blood , sweat, and tears , and that’s an undisputed fact ,even the most ardent , doubtful, conveniently amnesiac &amp;nbsp;revisionists can proclaim.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Now,since I am major Humanist &amp;nbsp;practitioner of practical make up,more interested in finding solutions, as opposed to waddling in perpetual muddle of despair , as enjoyed by too many, here to me is the &amp;nbsp;real challenge , and that is, finding some &amp;nbsp;lasting solution&amp;nbsp; to rectify this wrong ,whereby if there was a GOD ,he should be taken , blind folded , and shot in the back of the head by an adoring&amp;nbsp; Democratic Chinese , Christian General , for&amp;nbsp; daring to create&amp;nbsp; a world, where one people who can still claim to be his&amp;nbsp; chosen children&amp;nbsp; , and yet are treated with such utter contempt, not only by said &amp;nbsp;alleged creator, but most of the rest of humanity - especially themselves.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;We are ready to engage in &amp;nbsp;new Revolutions , as this revolting ,&amp;nbsp;Helter Skelter ,state of human existence, cannot be allowed to continue into perpetuity , while we await some&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;savior, to come from the sky, 'like a thief in the night.'&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The repeated &amp;nbsp;dehumanizing atrocities in &amp;nbsp;places such as Sudan, Congo, Rwanda , Burundi , USA’s&amp;nbsp; racially skewed , expanding Human Rights abusive ,lucrative Prison Industrial&amp;nbsp; Complex ,and similar forms of institutional discriminatory system across Europe ,proves clearly the following:- There won’t be another Noah and Ark, working his magic, at the United Nations Security Council , to save Afrikans .

Now, that you say is not a bad thing , for a country that prides itself in maintaining &amp;nbsp;high levels of peace , and tranquility via enforcing it’s laws, and protecting all citizens against crimes, and abuses , both domestically and internationally? True , true , I would say , but the sad reality&amp;nbsp; speaks volumes , more so for it stark ugliness. Most of the folks that are there , are not only of Afrikan&amp;nbsp; descent, but lower class folks , many of which are in dire need of psychological&amp;nbsp; health needs, and due in great measures ,because they could not work the system as prudently as others &amp;nbsp;with the means so to do.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande';

walls of the now famous Prison Industrial Complex were then constructed&amp;nbsp;,&amp;nbsp;to house Afrikans with the audacity to be free, educated , employed&amp;nbsp; humans ,like their European&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Caucasian counterparts who alone &amp;nbsp;it would appear ,were 'born free , with inalienable &amp;nbsp;Rights.&amp;nbsp;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica;

to be that beacon of light , and hope to growing masses of desperate folks across various Continents- many fleeing tyranny &amp;nbsp;from within their own border. America's &amp;nbsp;politically driven&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;various leaders&amp;nbsp; , must know that&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;the great country&amp;nbsp;has the potential for doing much better , if all it’s citizens across the color lines&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;,whether Black , Red, Brown, Yellow , or White , are treated equally. Most importantly, this great Bastion of Democracy , will never be as great as it can be , if a huge proportion of it’s people , are left behind ,due to an obvious &amp;nbsp;historic ,Socio- Political &amp;nbsp;, anomaly&amp;nbsp; where white color thugs, the rich, socially &amp;nbsp;privileged ,and&amp;nbsp; politically influential ,can abuse &amp;nbsp;laws with impunity , while expecting &amp;nbsp;no more than a pat on the wrist , then reclaim their lives, to be productive citizens, but others&amp;nbsp; are deprived of that opportunity. &amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;"&gt;h&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_338530178"&gt;ttp://www.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_338530178"&gt;newsbatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_338530178"&gt;.com/race.&lt;/a&gt;htm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_338530181"&gt;http://www.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_338530181"&gt;rense&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_338530181"&gt;.com/general92/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_338530181"&gt;incar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_338530181"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_338530181"&gt;htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Equal Justice ,&amp;amp; Global &amp;nbsp;leadership, when it comes to Human Rights ,can be a distinct possibility for the world’s sole remaining Superpower , but only if the will exist. In ending ,let me add the following :- As much as this problem remain's &amp;nbsp;vast &amp;nbsp;in that white majority , suffers equally , since they naturally leads the country in &amp;nbsp;being victims of the criminal justice system, by virtue of possessing &amp;nbsp;the highest statistical ratio across the nation. &amp;nbsp;We should still &amp;nbsp;however recognize, that no matter what the negative fall outs &amp;nbsp;for them may be , it remains worst for Africkans for obvious reasons. It therefore remains morally repugnant for any&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;like myself with &amp;nbsp;a heart ,to see policy makers, politicians , and social leaders across America,repeatedly , only spring into action politically , when they think that a particular problem , is deemed as approaching crisis point &amp;nbsp;,only when Euro Americans think it is, and or are affected adversely.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_338530184"&gt;http://www.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_338530184"&gt;asentenceoftheirown&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_338530184"&gt;.com/Essays%20-%20Santana.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/socwork/nrcfcpp/info_services/children-of-incarcerated-parents.htm"&gt;http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/socwork/nrcfcpp/info_services/children-of-incarcerated-parents.htm&lt;/a&gt;l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;National Security has never been more threatened, and so the time for action is now, so let's do the right thing, yes?

I was informed by my female Taxi driver , of a recently released&amp;nbsp; Afrikan American prisoner , who took matters into his own hands and murdered his aging mom , by virtue of him burning down the building in which they both lived at the time. As later confirmed by the daily local newspapers, this was a troubled individual , that authorities were warned about that he needed help , but cries of the families were ignored.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0225a3; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://lubbockonline.com/local-news/2011-06-07/bradley-indicted-lubbock-burning-death-mother"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;http://lubbockonline.com/local-news/2011-06-07/bradley-indicted-lubbock-burning-death-mother&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Outside of perhaps the dreaded disease AIDS, and maybe cancer , no other form of illness, has the profound stigmatizing impact than that of mental illness, be it in any advanced Industrial society , or lower echelon developing and emerging country.&amp;nbsp; The mentally ill, are often seen as lacking reason , and irrational in thinking , and so are not only in need of severe treatment, if they are not to be a threat to fellow members of society, but often due to this state , are no longer responsible for their actions, irrespective to how destructive this can be. Not surprising, is the fact that this has been used quite frequently by those who seeks to elude culpability for some major , ghastly crime , they might have inflicted on society.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Naturally Social Scientist , as opposed to members of the medical profession would somewhat&amp;nbsp; differ as to causes , and based on which of these power brokers holds the stronger sway on&amp;nbsp; mainstream society, the results &amp;nbsp; for punitive&amp;nbsp; actions by perpetrators of criminal activities, and or treatment for those considered ill, can&amp;nbsp; differ.&amp;nbsp; So whereas Psychiatrist, would look to physical causes , and support medicinal treatment , others such as Sociologist and similar social theorist, might focus more on the appreciation of social causes for the emerging mental illness amongst people.&amp;nbsp; In the case of the latter , socio economic causes leading to depressions, or neo feminist concerns of patriarchal oppression , and even gender related corporate , and domestic bullying might be thrown out as likely causes. Again , the degree to which one or the other would hold sway, would differ from society to society, where culture, class structure ,or even ethnic power , and race , would&amp;nbsp; help shape norms of acceptable behaviors and&amp;nbsp; so laws.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; When it comes to the criminal Justice system , that we see the ugly face of injustices, especially as it is linked to mental Health.It is therefore my contention today, that there are numerous people that are sitting for too long in Prisons across the globe , that should be better served in a mental institution, while in many cases the opposite is also true. There are many who through , guile , privilege, maybe pity ,and other means, that should be rotting in jails, that are instead walking freely across societies, since they were able to beat the system. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; A few unworthy news stories caught my eyes recently , and I was immediately propelled back into a reflective mood on similar events&amp;nbsp; ,and so I thought I’ll share them with you , and solicit an opinion, that would&amp;nbsp; give some insights as to the follies of the main stream , intellectually compromised , corporate media , especially as it relates to neo racial affiars,and the plight of the sane , or maybe mental ill, in sometimes not so extremely&amp;nbsp; tolerant &amp;nbsp; America.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Georgia; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It was the news that a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;judge&amp;nbsp; was set to rule on Jared Loughner's mental fitness for trial.’ You remember him , as the Arizonian gun loving bloke, who shot a Jewish Congresswoman in the head , at close range, after murdering and maiming a few others ,including a judge.

Mind you , I am not just some self loathing fool ,that is making some bland statement , without giving it much thought &amp;nbsp;to the subject. Far from it , but I have been doing my street corner , classrooms, organizational enclaves, byways , and highways, cyber highway driving maneuvers, for as long as I can remember, soon after I mastered my kindergarden ABC ,and from the preponderance of evidence , I am returning to the same conclusion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;How else do you explain&amp;nbsp; this folks. The evil, Barbarian Christian German&amp;nbsp; Austrian, &amp;nbsp;Adolf&amp;nbsp; Hitler, and his gutless Nazi bunch ,murdered , what some 20 million Jews, and the good folks and descendants were able to parlay that into&amp;nbsp; a nice political movement, that help create a nation called Israel, shaped the foreign policy of every Western Country, bar none, across the globe. Guess what ,over some 300 years or more, Afrikan folks in contrast , lost some 500 million, at the hands of these same global &amp;nbsp;savages , of mainly Christian Europeans, and Arab Islamic cousins , and what did we produce as a result of this? If you said absolutely nothing , then take a bow , and a round of applaud for your astuteness.&amp;nbsp; We have no Museum in Washington, Paris, Spain, London, Lisbon, or Amsterdam ,Cairo , or&amp;nbsp; Riyadh , even if the&amp;nbsp; blood, sweat, and tears, of our dear resilient ancestors&amp;nbsp; went directly&amp;nbsp; into the creation , and development of all such capitals , and&amp;nbsp; by extensions, nations. As a matter of fact , one of the greatest achievement in these United States was only recently , converted into a public sideshow ,as America's &amp;nbsp;first colored President ,was toasted in the streets of Dublin Ireland , as the return of the country's second Irish American President, since his great , great , great Grand dad , left the Irish potato mines fields of Europe Britannia ,some 100 years ago. In the mean time , this said President, whose &amp;nbsp;own father, came originally from Kenya , is yet to return to that part of the world , except when it is to &amp;nbsp; collect royalties from his Bestselling book &amp;nbsp;on the same subject , which was written when years before his fame and glory, and what a tragedy that is! &amp;nbsp;One can guess , that Irish , and Jewish slavery is much more important.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Maybe 150 million Afrikan people&amp;nbsp; died during the pointless four decade Cold War, between the Stalin the butcher’s USSR, and&amp;nbsp; their European American,Christian cousins, under the guise of fake competing ,ideologies , some refer to as Capitalism , and Socialism , and towards what end, and the returns? Right again ,nothing. Notice that today as these said nations grapple, &amp;nbsp;to make ends meet , in this new politically tumultuous ,economically strangulated , resource depleted , environmentally constricted climate, the two, one time European&amp;nbsp; enemies of America, and her cousins scattered across European continent ,are having the last laugh , as none offer tangible compensations, to help make this transition easy for the new victims. In Somalia today ,we talk about young sea pirates, Libya , Quadaffi ,and his rape kits to impregnate females by his&amp;nbsp; fellow ,savage military&amp;nbsp; minions, South Africa &amp;nbsp;the overwhelming Aids epidemic, Mugabe’s Zimbabwe,well your guess is as good as mine,Rwanda ,and Burundi's &amp;nbsp; genocides .As for the&amp;nbsp; the under achieving&amp;nbsp; Caribbean , maybe sex tourism, and which of them is the best to convert into a European AIDS infested playground , while they point fingers elsewhere, as to the cause of all the problems therein.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Now all that I have listed above are well known problems , but dare you try and formulate some semblance of a solution , and you are in for a rough time, of this you can be assured. Ever try talking to an Afrikan&amp;nbsp; from the Virgin continent who was&amp;nbsp; never in a position to trace a direct link to slavery?&amp;nbsp; Well , let us just say that you are on much firmer grounds , in attempting to beat the laws of physics , and walk to the moon , than succeed in your noble quest. I recently gave up when not only my so called, Pan Afrikan&amp;nbsp; Kenyan ,neo tribal brother, told me in not too subtle forms , to leave Afrika &amp;nbsp;alone, and concentrate on the Caribbean where I am from, as I can never understand&amp;nbsp; his Afrikan people. I ran into a similar intransigent attitude ,from my Nigeria Housa buddy , after 3000 tousand conversations during the past 7 years , of trying &amp;nbsp;to convince&amp;nbsp; him that &amp;nbsp; the&amp;nbsp; problems lies . Need I say i, repeated actions of &amp;nbsp; their military elites , intellectual pigmies, and psychologically insecure&amp;nbsp; Middle Class ,blinded by religion , and delusional grandiose, that choose to &amp;nbsp;kiss the feet, of&amp;nbsp; fake&amp;nbsp; concerned , yet opportunistic &amp;nbsp;,global saviors ,such George Clooney, Buno, Bill Clinton , Bob Gildoff, and Madonna, while rejecting any idea that emanated from someone that looks like they are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Here however &amp;nbsp;is the creme&amp;nbsp; de la creme &amp;nbsp;of my concerns , try to start a dialogue with an Afrikan American , especially if you cannot, personally &amp;nbsp;trace your direct lineage &amp;nbsp;to Thomas Jefferson, and similar national, racist 3 centuries ago , in these United States. I tried unsuccessfully to engage , pompous fake liberals , with limited luck. I have ventured to connect with clueless, so called Black Republicans , indistinguishable from lily white , brothers and sisters, with limited luck.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I was prepared to accept this as par for the course , until I recently ran into a phony feminist agitator online &amp;nbsp;, pretending to be an advocate for women’s rights, especially the abused.&amp;nbsp; Remember , new aged R&amp;amp; B Badboy ,Chris Browne , and his then 20 year old love&amp;nbsp; toy crooner Rihiana ? Yes ,you should , as both&amp;nbsp; of&amp;nbsp; these two immature , musical media &amp;nbsp;entities &amp;nbsp;,after months of public feuds , decided to duke it out in front of &amp;nbsp;the paparazzi,to prove who loved the other more&amp;nbsp; in a dysfunctional way, and the &amp;nbsp;rest we can say is history. She appeared on the media pages , &amp;nbsp;almost like broken rag doll, and was immediately propelled ,into further super stardom, as a public victim poster child, for &amp;nbsp;highlighting ,all that's evil ,about young fatherless Afrikan &amp;nbsp;Males, as she in turn, sold millions in CD’s , and he did likewise , after spending maybe 5 million for his white PR handlers , and lawyers , go figure!.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;What however brought the wrath down on me ,was when I dared to&amp;nbsp; dismiss her ploy to elevate Rhianna, and her exploitative song of man down , as just that , a ploy to make money , and nothing else.

Sports in general remains a useful escape latch for many of us , overburdened by day to day drudgery of life , and in some cases where &amp;nbsp;lofty &amp;nbsp;status can be obtained , due in great measure to the supreme skills of a particular player, and the role of technology to put such mastery on global display, with huge financial returns for owners, teams , agents, corporate&amp;nbsp; advertising geniuses , and players alike? Well , let’s just say,passions can run high,&amp;nbsp; on all sides, as was the case a few months ago .&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The Miami Heat as a team had a few tongues wagging for close to a year after they were able to stage perhaps one of the biggest sporting coup in the history of American Basketful, and maybe global &amp;nbsp;team sports in general. In case you haven't a clue as to what I am talking about , since you only watch tennis, hockey, soccer, lacrosse , and your favorite Kenyan, or Ethiopian&amp;nbsp; runner ,repeatedly win, every marathon race imaginable ,across the planet, let me refresh your memory.Friends,and one time competitors , Le Bron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh , all decided to come together as a unit , in the hope of successfully competing ,for a championship ring.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Now , having three top notched&amp;nbsp; players in their prime , playing together under one management, was not really unprecedented as such , since LA Lakers, and Boston Celtics two of the premier franchises, did this repeatedly over the decades , with huge success, one might add. The difference here however, was stark in contrast. These three players were the ones who followed the rules , and did this all on their own , with establishment management , the media , fans , and family alike , all simply finding themselves getting carried along for a ride in the process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This naturally created lots &amp;nbsp;of anger&amp;nbsp; , and revulsion, by many across the United States , more accustomed to seeing , selfish egomaniacs &amp;nbsp;Afrikan players , constantly fighting each other, brandished across the news media , as criminals, or just fighting each other , or their families&amp;nbsp; in glare of the &amp;nbsp;public, much to the delight of 24 hrs , desperate for news ,sporting , and tabloid&amp;nbsp; media.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; So as this team&amp;nbsp; Miami Heat ,defy the odds , having worked out their personal kinks , and so found a way to hopefully in a week or two , take this all the way, I too embrace them , and&amp;nbsp; applaud their commitment to this cause. They should be commended , and not condemned , for their personal&amp;nbsp; sacrifices , and resiliency in the face of doubters , and protagonists alike , who continues to second guess the motives , foresight , and abilities of &amp;nbsp;selective folks across this great nation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As the NBA ratings for the first time in quite a while ,sky rocket ,to the delight of many, we too can embrace the joys , and or trill of success of this team , and individual players,but not bask too much in delight at those that are faced with agony in their wake , having suffered defeat in any form&amp;nbsp; due to this development.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;There are those who view sports as simply , a game , that allows over paid athletes, to have fun doing what they love, while getting rich in the process. Not me , and you for that matter , if you think of it .&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Whether it’s soccer, the Olympics, boxing, tennis, golf, car racing, horse racing, and in this case basketball, sports , remains a very useful tool for social historical changes , and a true barometer in the grasp for power between strong ,and weak &amp;nbsp;forces alike , across global societies , either as they choose to evolve , or for convenience &amp;nbsp;remain static in status quo ambiance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;For ‘ socio- political animals,’ such as myself , it provides useful fodder, for dissecting the subtle nuances of life, involving my fellow humans, as we strive&amp;nbsp; to coexist&amp;nbsp; peacefully, ion our capacity as supreme beings, on this sometimes tenuous global environment &amp;nbsp;called earth, and what a pleasure that can be?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Stay tuned as yours&amp;nbsp; truly, Znendrye Dyemound continues&amp;nbsp; on this mammoth , and often unwelcome task.

Sorry to you my &amp;nbsp; late luving&amp;nbsp; granny, where ever she is on earth , hell , or heaven - take your pick.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; But I digress. This theory was re enforce today , as I sat in a public park , trying to do some of my daily dose of life’s&amp;nbsp; chronicles. I observed what appeared to be a female guardian at work , with four boys under her care ,and a petulant adolescent in tow, ladened with pink hair , and god knows what slave piercings , I could care less about. Old school ,Grandma Guardian, by the way, could be in her early sixties , late fifties,arthritis , bandaged&amp;nbsp; feet&amp;nbsp; hobbling&amp;nbsp; and&amp;nbsp; all, in her Afrikan American majesty.As for the kids , the female looked&amp;nbsp; very&amp;nbsp; angry&amp;nbsp; about something,maybe for just being alive. As for&amp;nbsp; the four boys, one was an energetic Hispanic&amp;nbsp; two year old, while the&amp;nbsp; three others , maybe 4 , 5and 6&amp;nbsp; were&amp;nbsp; equally energized,ever-ready, battery powered&amp;nbsp; souls, that were a handful, for this seemingly overwhelmed woman.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; My main concerns as I observed these kids was , why aren’t they in school, since with the exception of one , all others were of school age?I therefore tried to strike up a&amp;nbsp; friendly conversation , by asking firstly ,if they were having fun&amp;nbsp; , and why no school?&amp;nbsp; “Yes we are having fun ,” one said, “and I am pretending to be a policeman , while he is playing the bad guy ,” he added. “Are you sure it’s not the other way around ?”I enquired laughing at his response, and “why no school?” I still wanted to know. He murmured something incoherent, or maybe , I could not hear&amp;nbsp; it over shouts by Mama Panda Grandma , with fire in her eyes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; “Stop , don’t climb there,”she barked. “When I say come&amp;nbsp; here ,you must come, no running, do not walk too far away from where I can see you,” but however, all these paled in comparison, to the biggest crime these innocent kids committed. Care to guess what that was ? Here it is , ‘never talk to strangers !!!!‘&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;“Having a rough day?” I enquired from her as she returned&amp;nbsp; gratefully to a seat , after one of her numerous interventions, and party pooping operations. “No,” she boomed , “and&amp;nbsp; I am mad&amp;nbsp; as hell, because I told them ,not to talk to strangers , or&amp;nbsp; ignore,&amp;nbsp; any of my instructions,” she forcefully added. “Are you planning to hang them&amp;nbsp; for this&amp;nbsp; crime ?” I sarcastically retorted , having raised boys myself , who to this day never listened, even as young adults. “No, but you should know better, not to talk to kids.” “I can call the cops , just for that ,” she added more incensed. I was about to give her by phone to help speed up my incarceration , but thought otherwise, as I am claustrophobic , and have no such desire in this lifetime to be placed in a cell&amp;nbsp; for unmentionable crimes in these United States.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; She then followed up in voices that would make Lou Gosset Jr ,of Officer and a Gentleman notoriety, &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Tyrese of Annapolis movie fame , and that Damon Waynan guy ,and his funny&amp;nbsp; Major Payne&amp;nbsp; escapades envious , as she conducted further interrogations on why they did not comply , by walking away from strangers , or getting her permission before so doing , thus committing the crime of the century, in their very innocent lives. merely&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It was certainly a site to behold, of over the top , wasted energies , who forced me to tell her , that these kids were in my estimation in more danger , while suffocating under her concentration camp like guardianship, than any thing that can happen to them while merely&amp;nbsp; speaking to strangers. In the mean time, their foster sister, with&amp;nbsp; the angry demeanor, and pink hair, sat dutifully&amp;nbsp; , in reserved silence , while looking on&amp;nbsp; passively as the drama unfolded, and her younger brothers endured their dose of&amp;nbsp; psychological trauma.As I finished the second paragraph of this blog , and started&amp;nbsp; my vehicle&amp;nbsp; to escaped her treats , I could not help but speculate what these kids would evolve into, a few decades from now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; There is a fundamental lesson that many parents of all class , races , and even gender never appreciate&amp;nbsp; , but maybe is well worth learning. Children&amp;nbsp; must learn to be occasionally defiant, and say no to a directives, even when given by&amp;nbsp; loving ,caring parents, and the reasons are simple. There would come a time , when the big , bad wolf would come lurking with unwholesome spoils, and&amp;nbsp; questionable&amp;nbsp; entreatments, but such children would never be able to take a&amp;nbsp; worthwhile stand ,and say no, since&amp;nbsp; that word ,&amp;nbsp; was never inculcated in their psyche. Trust me&amp;nbsp; folks, fashioning diamonds from rough , ugly glass stones ,is not a job for the weak , foolish, or naive . It’s a pity , I could not pass that on&amp;nbsp; to this destructively over zealous , though&amp;nbsp; maybe ,well intentioned, guardian.&amp;nbsp; Stay tune , as I expand . We got to protect, and wisely&amp;nbsp; nurture&amp;nbsp; our future leaders, yes?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7503347362858462304-1934415102206983106?l=nrayprof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/feeds/1934415102206983106/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7503347362858462304&amp;postID=1934415102206983106' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/1934415102206983106'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7503347362858462304/posts/default/1934415102206983106'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nrayprof.blogspot.com/2011/05/diamonds-in-rough.html' title='Diamonds in the Rough'/><author><name>Znendrii</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15552373977076391616</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N_tOjX5Kj7Q/TnEhY6iTtJI/AAAAAAAAAJc/neZqjk8I8Sc/s220/black%2Bbuddha.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503347362858462304.post-8468354734964047047</id><published>2011-04-08T21:16:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-08T21:21:37.661-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Social Accountability &amp; Justice</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 5.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;There is a debate raging across America today about the state of Black folks , and their future based on the way in which their kids are handling the passing of symbolic batons.&amp;nbsp; The camp is now divided between those who pat themselves on the back , if their kids do well , and that can include Bill the new spokesman for European family values.
