Unity is all we need (Tribute to my fallen brothers and sisters)

The killings of innocent black men in America has now become an epidemic. The number of African American men that lose their lives to the police are more than the Ebola and Zika Virus related deaths combined. Alton Sterling and Philando Castile are the 558th and 559th civilians who have lost their lives respectively  to the police in 2016. The use of excessive force and brutal killings of these men by the police stem from hate, prejudice and racism. Where did this hate come from? Well I believe all this hate comes from the so called "freedom" we blacks have from the slave days. The mere fact that we can vote, own businesses, go to schools and earn degrees and diplomas, own a car and house and walk around freely in public angers a lot of white Americans. Also, as studies have shown that in years to come, the white race will now become a minority since the populations of blacks are increasing rapidly along with other races and mixed races. This scares some of the white race and has led to this hate and intent to contain and eliminate us. So how do we fight this hate or move forward? Well it's important to know three significant things before the solution to this issue. Firstly, we need to acknowledge that this is not a police versus black issue (so killing cops won't solve the issue). This is a black versus white issue. Secondly, we also have to understand that preaching love to these people who hate blacks won't change them.  These people are past that stage. This is their way of life and as the African proverb, "you cannot teach an old dog tricks". Thirdly, we blacks need to come together as one to encourage, empower and educate each other.  We have to break out of that mental slavery, chains and shackles that bear us down.  It's time for emancipation! We should stay away from that childish mentality where we hate a certain group of people because they are from another country or background. For instance, I have heard some Jamaicans say they hate Grenadians and Grenadians say they hate Trinidadians and Trinidadians say they hate Guyanese and Guyanese say they hate Africans and so on. That way of thinking will not get us nowhere but rather give more room to our sufferings at the hands of these oppressors. It is time for togetherness and brotherly love. It's time for unity and to become one unit with an intent of fighting these oppressors. It is imperative to point out that I have no feelings of hate towards the white race or any other race but I have feelings of disgust to the way that blacks are treated by these white oppressors. This injustice needs to stop. Let us all join the movement in putting an end to societal brainwashing that contain us in mental shackles and chains. We must speak with one voice and let our words echo loud to break down those systemic foundations that tear us down. We need to strengthen our community and implement our culture into educational institutions for the benefit of this generation and future generations. It cannot be stressed enough that we are all equal and are one people created by one God, so there is no superior or inferior race. With a sad heart, to Trayvon Martin,  Eric Garner, Gregory Gunn, Samuel Dubose, Oscar Grant, Tamir Rice, John Crawford, India Beaty, Renisha McBride, Walter Scott, Mario Woods, Philando Castile, Sandra Bland, Laquan McDonald, Ramarley Graham, Akai Gurley, Sean Bell, Amadou Diablo, Freddie Gray, Jamar Clark, Regia Boyd, Alton Sterling and the rest, I say adieu and rest in peace.

Donald Trump is just what America needs

Donald Trump, a known business man and TV personality is the 45th president of the United States of America. I remember being in a state of shock when he won the election last year and was inaugurated into office earlier this year.  Since the inception of his government, he has been controversial in his comments, actions and leadership style. This has caused a lot of hateful comments and criticism from celebrities.  Recent controversial comments from Trump include the racist comments regarding NFL players, belittling and preachy comments on Puerto Rico, Harvey Weinstein and Bob Corker. Trump's administration has brought about feelings of hate and disgust in people to the point that people have marched out in streets in protests as a means to voice their feelings. Although Donald Trump is a little child in an adult body because of his leadership judgment, mannerisms, choice of words and actions, he is just what America needs. This is because he is the most successful American p...

Find YOU

If you have read any of my blogs, you would know how I always emphasize the importance of relationships in our existence. Relationships not only gives meaning to our existence, but it also drives our daily routine and life. Our survival, adaptation and ability to exercise our emotions all stem from our engagements in different relationships. Therefore, it is safe to say that relationships play a key role in our lives. Every relationship we form with people is imperative to our growth as an individual, because those relationships in my many ways depicts who we are as a person. Our relationships with others may be important but the most important relationship we could ever form is the one we have with ourselves. Although, this is the most important relationship and the one that requires most of our energy and intentions towards building, it is the one we shy away from the most. We go into relationships with many people without actually having a proper understanding of who we are as a p...

She won't call him handsome

Women in general are created to perfection. Their well-proportioned facial features, bodacious curves and innate cat-like walks are some of many things women possess that drive men insane. Traditionally, it has been the duty of the man to acknowledge a woman’s appearance or beauty. Most people would agree that it is the gentleman’s thing to do. A man who takes a woman out on a date is expected to compliment her appearance or beauty if he wants to score a second date with her. Admiration comments are also expected from husbands and boyfriends. Many couples have had fights that stemmed from the husband not complimenting their wives’ appearance. This stresses the importance of verbally acknowledging a woman’s appearance. However, it is also important for the woman to acknowledge the men on their appearance because men do appreciate those words and compliments. Words like “You are so handsome”, “I love that color on you. It makes you look more attractive” makes a man feel like a million ...
