The Flint Water Situation

First, I have heard about the Flint Water Situation for a minute. However, I am now just making a post about the situation. After praying about the situation and really getting into the full grasp of the destruction of the Flint residents by those who where sworn in to protect them, I felt some way for a while now.

When I think about the Flint Water situation, it truly does feel like Katrina all over again (the statement and feeling that was made a couple of weeks ago by someone other than me). I feel exactly like the dude who said that statement.

Flint is very poor and mostly black, and to see the conditions that those in "charge" put them in was shameful. The water is so dirty, lead-filled, and contaminated that it has been classified by many as CHEMICAL WASTE. The lead levels have been off the charts and are destroying our precious kids (children, little brothers/sisters for the youngsters).

What is happening is basically mass homicide. I mean, let's be frank and straight up. This is just dead wrong and someone needs to be criminally charged for letting this happen.

We as a people has suffered under oppressed for too long. I guess now, we can't even drink the country's water. From the Tuskegee Experiment, the Mustard Gas Experiment, and Hurricane Katrina, this is just another way to harm black lives.

What is happening is inexcusable. This a another low blow. Poison Water? Really

That is again inexcusable.

I want to say more, but what can I say?

It's 2016 and this is happening.

RIP Mr. Dick Gregory

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...

RIP Muhammad Ali (The Greatest)

As you have heard the sad news by now, the great Muhammad Ali has passed on. He was laid to rest yesterday. When I say passed on, he has moved on to another journey. To another place to inspire, love, encourage, and communicate without bounds or limits. Mr. Ali is free yet again. I don't have to say what Mr. Ali meant to me. Just from past articles, tweets, and videos, you guys already know what he meant to me. He was a inspiration, hero, mentor, and someone to look up to and listen; learning and hanging on to has every word. Even if those words were 50 years old, they still hold relevance to this very day. I am keeping this post short, because no true words can describe what he meant to me, to all of us. However, I will end this post like this. Heroes are remembered, but legends never die. Therefore, he was the greatest legend ALL-TIME. And, he will live on as long as WE as a PEOPLE are still ALIVE!!!!! Rest Easy Champ!!!!!!!

"#TheFlagMustGo" Growing up, I have seen the Confederate flag so many times I could not count. As, a Young age I knew the Flag was wrong. Then, as I got older I was about to study the origins as well as the very people who created, represented, and coveted the flag; I truly had my answer: The Flag Must Go. Before, I give my opinion; I am going to give y'all unmistakable and unarguable facts. In 1861, politician William Porcher Miles designed the flag. As I studied the very man who created the "confederacy flag." I wanted to understand his doctrine and beliefs. I wanted to see what he wanted to create, pass-down, and strength who's cau...
