Words I live By

I think it's extremely important that society be reminded that when
it comes to the discussion of drugs and crime, the majority of Black
Americans are law abiding citizens--just as the majority of Whites,
Asians, Latinos, etc. are law abiding citizens.

That said, our urban Black youth are in trouble. A sizeable
percentage of them have no prospect for a good education, gainful
employment, societal contributions ... or even hope. Obviously, this
leads to drugs, crime and punishment. One of the key problems with this phenomenon is that the criminal justice systems across the country has been functioning to warehouse these young people instead of educating, rehabilitating and preparing them for functioning within society.

I find it interesting that those folks who constantly speak about the
need for us to stop being hyphenated-Americans, conveniently
dismiss Black crime and punishment as a "Black" problem, and not
an "American" problem. So since we're on our own, I suggest to
my fellow Black men and Woman that we focus harder on keeping our young people out of the criminal justice system that we already
know is unfair, rather than focusing on how unfair the system is.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Our playing small does not serve the world. We are all meant to shine as All Gods children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in us all. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously release others to do the same.

To ALL of my Brothers and Sisters seeking Righteousness. Be you Muslim,Christain,5% Nation, Freedom Fighters, Masons...lets STOP fighting amongst ourselves about the differences we have in our Beliefs...Lets' All focus on the One thing we ALL have in Common which is Satan, the Devil, Ibliss , that’s in full force on us all. Especially our children. When we look into our communities we see Chaos that is not only the destruction of our communities but to our Direct Families and most of all GODS FAMILY. Drugs, crime, child abuse, spousal abuse... are all direct descendants of Greed, Envy and Jealousy. We ALL could overcome this together if we place our energies of defeating this Devil TOGETHER. When we put our energies and focus on our minor differences we allow the Devil to slip in and continue to cause havoc and mayhem. An action that he has been doing since his birth. When we come together as one Army, on the sole mission of defeating him, then he will not have a chance of survival at all. I say Stay true to your personal beliefs but Lets come together as one Army with different divisions and defeat that common enemy that we all share. The Devil. I challenge us all to unite in that one cause... Be Brave enough to accept the challenge.

Hi Carlito and a warm welcome to Authors.com. :) It’s a very friendly community. I like that you included the Marianne Williamson "our deepest fear..." quote there. I'm a fan of her writing. :) There's a Christian Writers Group if you're interested btw. See the Groups tab above.
