INJUSTICE FOR EMMETT TILL!

 

IF ANY INJUSTICE IN HISTORY that occurred (and there's many) the one I think about the most is the one Emmett Till got. A 12yr boy visiting relatives in Mississippi was murdered because he may have whistled at a white woman. He was dragged from his bed and what they did I will not describe. But they should have been hanged for it.Well now it seemed the one that could of been held accountable passed away recently and they say now no one will be. A black empty spot of nothingness will forever mark injustice. And it will-here. But before God there will be accountability. It's now in His hands.

Carolyn Bryant Donham who accused Emmett before his lynching died before any acts of trial holding her accountable could be done.

To me her husband and the friend he was with were tried but the jury didn't convict them. Why not?Because they were all either afraid or hateful as they were. Justice should have been done for that young man and it was a great betrayal of it.

Martin Luther King Jr said once,"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality,tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly."

Today we still are. Only it seems to go in the other direction. But same regardless.

If Justice is to be assured,the system must work without the acts of others. Truth must be the arch to justice. And if peace is to be our hope. Then justice for all must be our creed. Thanks for listening.

ROCKY VIII

                  ROCKY VERSUS CORONA! YO ADRIAN,WE'LL DO IT! It's another matchup of the century. A vicious fighter named Corona has been knocking the hell out of people,nations. So at home the Italian Stallion who's done enough battles in his career sees this fighter as a threat to not only freedom but also a threat to livelihood itself. He's worse than Ivan Drago but yet he comes from Russia too. If Rocky Balboa excepts this fight deep down it won't be an ordinary match. Keeping social distancing he must go the distance again. Rocky always did things because they were the right thing to do. Not out of revenge or just because others seek him to. But the Corona was more than just another fight. It was something he had to do even though at his age the threat of this fight could be deadly. But like Apollo Creed his friend he had to rise to this challenge regardless of the risk. It was no...

LEARN FROM PAST

Image
  "We can draw lessons from the past,but we cannot live in it." President Lyndon B. Johnson.  Learning and looking ahead makes a journey lessonable and rewarding. For the past is filled with mistakes as well as successes. And both are equally vital in learning in order to see the hopes of tomorrow.  If we fail to learn and understand the past we end up living in it. For it keeps repeating.  And if it keeps repeating, the worse it gets. So let us draw where the lessons are learned, teach where it's never repeated  so that we live for today and not yesterday.  And when we live for today. Tomorrow won't be so uncertain.  We shall overcome when we learn.And in each of us from family, education, community, faith and work ethics,we will be strong in each and our society will be great.  For a dream that is built by us all is a frontier we will accomplish together and America will be the promise we know it can be. So let us learn in order to see.

HAPPY AS WE MAKE UP OUR MINDS!

  "We are as happy as we make up our minds to be." Abraham Lincoln. I'm the happiest when I write-happiest taking a scrap piece of paper and start scribbling on it. Example like reading a quote from President Lincoln and writing it down because it tells me something. I find my treasure in scrap paper.So much I have it all over my office. When I see a quote or something comes to mind that strikes me.I grab that piece of paper and write it down. Something peaceful about a pen and a piece of paper.You can simply scribble and be just as happy with words.If the notes touch you,then you read it again and again.Sometimes I hurry writing and then can't read what I wrote. That disturbs,but I need to slow down when I write. But some of my writings I think to myself,"Did I just write that?" Being happy and how we make up our minds to be happy is ours alone.We can be inspired by others but our happiness and how we make it should inspire more,because each of us has a gif...
