WARNING!! WARNING!!
"Knowledge is Power, Sharing it is Empowerment"
"We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth ... For my part, I am willing to know the whole truth: to know the worst; and provide for it."Patrick Henry
"Speaking Truth to Power"
"If You Are Scared, Say You Are Scared" (1 Minute 47 sec. Video)
NOTE: I want to change some of Rev. Al Sharpton's words, "If U are Scared, Say U are Scared and get the HELL out of the way."
"I swore never to be silent whenever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." - Elie Weisel
There are so many folks who are afraid to talk about RACE Relations so some of the information here may not be what you want to read however you have options and I will let you figure out what they are. I don't make the news, I just report it. I don't make up rumors, I just share them. I don't discriminate when it comes to holding black, brown, white and other folks accountable for their actions. I have no permanent friends, no permanent enemies only permanent interest in what is going on around me. I also ask that others hold me accountable for my actions.
As you navigate through this blog click on all highlighted words for links to more information such as audio, video and etc. I hope that you will find the information here to be informative. At anytime you find mistakes in my post, please point them out to me immediately so that I can make changes asap. I have so much information on my mind when I am working and I am sometimes on the phone talking to others about issues and etc. and I be thinking one thing and writing another. I am always pushed for time because I am always searching for information, downloading pictures, making DVDs from political meetings/events that I attend across the county and state documenting our history among other things around the house. I capture history so that we can have our own history documented on digital video, photo and audio however ungreatful Negroes don't give a damn because they never donate to the cause. Most of the events that I attend I am the only person capturing the history. I also work a real job which is anywhere from 5 - 7 days a week. Sometimes I am up late at night and/or try to post something on the way out the door to work. So look beyond my errors and know that I am trying to do my very best. Point the errors out to me and I will make the necessary corrections.
Visit Calendar of Events to see what is going on and send letters to the editor concerning issues that you read here and/or about things that may be of concern to you.
Thank you for visiting me on the web and now tell your family and friends to visit also.

this site is a good public service. you spend a lot of time on it and we appreciate it. you have so much good information. i try to promote it as a one-site for news.and i like your views which i agree with 90% of the time and when I disagree i still feel enlightened.
thanks.
Note: Thanks. Actually I had taken a break after spending some time with my family during the Memorial Day Weekend. It was the ElectriCities that made me get back into the fold of things a little earlier than I had planned to. I was planning on doing a little blogging since the children were out of school and they go back on tomorrow, August 25, 2008.
I stopped my TV show also during that time because I was burnt out doing that and my blog. I also call look forward to tuning in to Radio weekly talk shows on Sunday mornings FM 104.3 Raleigh NC on Monday evening on FM 92.1 Rocky Mount NC, one on Tuesday morning FM 99.3 Rocky Mount NC during my break at work and also Mon - Fri. mornings AM 590 Wilson NC during my break and on Saturday morning AM 760.
I live to receive information and to share information weekly.

Knowledge is only the true art of Empowerment when the end result justifies the means. To explain my reasoning, George Washington Carver is one of my long past heroes who was a very gifted speaker, and his most popular story was the following:
I asked God, "Why did you make the universe, Lord?"
"Ask for something more in proportion to that little mind of yours," replied God.
"Why did you make the earth, Lord?" I asked.
"Your little mind still wants to know far too much. Ask for something more in proportion to that little mind of yours," replied God.
"Why did you make man, Lord?" I asked.
"Far too much. Far too much. Ask again," replied God.
"Explain to me why you made plants, Lord," I asked.
"Your little mind still wants to know far too much."
"The peanut?" I asked meekly.
"Yes! For your modest proportions I will grant you the mystery of the peanut. Take it inside your laboratory and separate it into water, fats, oils, gums, resins, sugars, starches and amino acids. Then recombine these under my three laws of compatibility, temperature and pressure. Then you will know why I made the peanut."
And that was what George the highly skilled botanist and chemist - did.

***In review, I hope that everyone from our youth to our elderly will pick apart the nano like George picked apart the peanut because only then will they be to busy to learn how to hate from the many that just don't know any better!
