VERBAL VITAMIN 11 ... Off To The Races

VERBAL VITAMIN 11 ... Off To The Races

+ Six Humans trapped by happenstance - In dark and bitter cold +
+ Each possessed a stick of wood - or so the storys told +

+ Their dying fire in need of logs - The first woman held hers back +
+ For on the faces around the fire - she noticed one was black +

+ The next man looking cross the way - saw one not of his church +
+ And could not bring himself to give- the fire his stick of birch +

+ The 3rd one sat in tattered clothes - He gave his coat a hitch +
+ Why should his log be put to use - to warm the idle rich +

+ The rich man just sat back and thought - of the wealth he had in store +
+ And how to keep what he had earned - from the lazy shiftless poor +

+ The Black man's face bespoke revenge - as the fire passed from sight +
+ For all he saw in his stick of wood - was a chance to spite the white +

+ The last man of this forlorn group - did not except for gain +
+ Giving only to those who gave - was how he played his game +

+The logs held tight in death's still hands - was proof of human sin +
+ They did not die from the cold without - They died from the cold within +

I copied that poem down while doing community service , years ago :)

Now , Years later , It is the prelude to one of the most important issues I will write about...RACE.

I find it horrific on so many levels that within the last two years, a black man was drug to death by a truck driven by racist whites ...
I know this is just one tragic act out of innumerable acts , But I chose it because the level of sub barbarian thinking, invoved in this murder, blows my mind.

Drug to death? Because of skin color? In the New Millenium?
(Any Millenium for that matter)

Why have humans on a whole not progressed their level of thinking?

WHY is ignorance not only tolerated , but encouraged?


I personally believe that Racism is one of the greatest tools the enemy uses to keep us in bondage.

But I have two solutions to end Racism...So I believe we can fix it !

Number one : Everyone over the age of 3 participate in mass suicide...

This way , the youth who survive ,will grow up realizing they need each other to survive and would never know the sins of our past.
They would base opinions on facts and the behaviour of the individual. (instead of pre-judging from skin and the race as a whole )
We would have to have a mass burning of all literature and film that shows the animalistic side of our nature before we all killed ourselves... So they could not emulate our behaviour.

This would require lots of strategic planning and extra security...The last thing we would want is for some wise guy to leave a note in his pocket that said " The Pale skins did this , do not trust them " , Not only would That be uncool , It would defeat the purpose of a mass worldwide suicide.

I have a strong feeling that this choice will not be a popular one...


Number two: Everyone on earth reprogram their thinking to a higher level.

Base their thoughts on logic and common sense and on the individual.

I now have a strong feeling that choice one is beginning to be considered...:)

Race is embedded in the DNA of America.

We made it ... So IMO we can kill it... But the Masses Fear the Frankenstein that has been created ...
How can we tackle this monster ?
Wrap up the legs...Take it to the ground and stomp it's guts out...
With knowledge and with Love and with understanding...

STOP !
Why did some of you hear "That's weak" in your mind as you read the above statement?

Recognize the whisper of the whisperer....



There was a billboard in Southern Africa that read... "We face neither East nor West; We face forward"

This got me thinking...

The enemy loves to keep us all in bondage with our past , which is why we as human beings have extreme difficulty in moving forward.

I am a white man writing this...

The race my skin reflects is the race responsible for stealing this land from the natives , slavery , The trail of tears, tuskegee , Police brutality , politics, the state of the nation, hate crimes and murders of many kinds in the name of God and country and skin tone...

Their actions and crimes against humanity are a great embarrasment and should serve as a reminder of the Evil that can be present within the hearts of men.

It is however , extremely ignorant to say all whites supported / support this behavior and group us all in this category as our "Forefathers"...
The same way it is beyond ignorance for whites to assume all other races are at their worst on a majority level.

Racism is not in my lineage, and if it was , Like it is for some of you , It would be my responsibility to break that and start a new cycle of intelligence.

But this point doesnt hold much weight to people who have had slavery within their family tree...

Men and women who have seen brutallity first hand from white hands arent extremely interested in shaking hands...
Which is why so many raise their fist....All Colors

Horrible acts and horrible facts but none can go back....
I am not going to spend the majority of my sermon bringing up the past.....The injustice is known...
and the reality is that we can only learn from the Past , we cannot change it...

I am here to get people to Face Forward....

Who the Hell do I think I am to tell Blacks to "Face Forward" ?

I am the same man who will Tell Whites and Hispanics and Asians and whoever you may be , to do the same.

MOVE FORWARD.

We are obsessed with going back and repairing the past , Look at all the books and movies and dreams and songs about going back.
Who hasn't had a wish that they could go back? ...we all share that , ALL OF US.

But if the enemy can keep you focused on the past then your not living in the now , which affects your future.

If I am wrong and out of line or being offensive, Then I beg of you to tell me who is right and in line and making progress.

Who is it?
Is it the angry Black person hating anything resembling white ?

How is that working out? How many eyes have you opened to the evils of the white devil?
Is hating Cracka ass crackas sincerely making a positive difference in your life?
Is it lowering the gas prices ? Is it increasing the employment rate?

Is it that angry White person hating anything resembling Black?

How is the new president working out for you? Are you still convinced he is the anti-Christ?
Has your hate kept your kids from downloading Drake? Is your prejudice helping your aryan brothers and sisters without insurance?

Anger doesnt work ... Hate doesnt work ... Violence doesnt work ... The past cannot be changed ... The future is not promised .... which leaves us with what?

THE PRESENT.

Only Love and Education and open communication will work.

Those wanting to discover "Intelligent Life" on other planets kill me...

Humans cant even function properly on default....

Less than five years ago , people were actually buying STARS from other humans....STARS???!!!

I am not trying to come across as self righteous ...
But dammit man , Cetain elements of our existence should not even be an issue at this stage of the game.

We MUST progress our thinking and quit letting the media dictate our perception of each other...
And Great grand-pa and grand-pa and your daddy or uncle or whoever is filling your head with the "All The Same" rhetoric...

Is it far fetched to say that maybe racism is even controlled to a degree?

We all know how stereotypes are used...The news and Tv and movies display that daily...
Next time your watching T.V. and they show a Native American , LISTEN , You will hear a flute....Or when they show asians , you hear some form of gong....Or Dirk...The Glockenspiel :)

{Note to Black comedians...The bit where the white dude is stiff necked and says pal in that nerdy voice, is played out...I have personally only seen this type of white man on television.
If ya'll stop that , I'll do my best to get white people to stop getting in the b-boy stance and saying "word to your mutha"...Neither of these jokes by either race is funny ...Please progress...Btw , what do you call 2 mexican men standing in dog crap ? Puto's....That is funny ! Que no?}

See how they do all of us?

They do this as well to instill fear and misunderstanding in all of us.
The Majority is being spoon fed fear on a daily basis....

What would happen if all races had a better understanding of each other?
This would create UNITY...and guess what..UNITY is not a money maker.

UNITY means people are focused on one thing together , they are in agreement with each other.

So if the races were in agreement that we are all of The Human kind , that would clear that distraction from our thoughts and allow us to redirect them to creative and positive ways for us all to progress....But who wants that? Then EVERYONE might start asking questions and that is a No-No.

"If black and white didn't argue the most - They could clearly see the governments screwing them both"
KRS-ONE

Keep em dumb and scared and fighting amongst themselves and debating over material status and race and religion and trivial arguments so a certain group of people can live extremely comfortable lives....See the bigger portrait?
We gotta get past this...There is so much more we should have acheived by now....

No matter your skin tone:
You hunger
You Thirst
You sleep
You Bleed
You desire
You love
You Hate
You Laugh
You Cry
You want to be somebody
You want a great life for your kids
You got Bills
You fight with your family
You love your pet
You have a favorite song and movie and food and drink and Scott Johnson album :)
You have sexual and emotional and intellectual and spiritual needs....

YOU ARE HUMAN.

We get the world to see and understand this truth , God knows where we can go.
I know we have not pushed our minds to the levels they are capable of ....
God has blessed each individual with their own personal universe between their ears and we use less than ten percent...

Jesus said ANYTHING was possible....
So how come we are not at that level?
Because were still stuck in Kidergarten with our thought lives...
In other words , The world is distracted by the enemy and cannot progress as a whole.
Till we can all get out of kindergarden , We will always be forced to ...imagine.... we can fly...

Racism is rooted in fear and ignorance.
We gotta break this cycle...

On a closing note I would like to drop a couple points...

The Black race says that they created rock and roll.
ROCK AND ROLL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_and_roll

But let me point out , it was a white man who created the electric guitar.

GUITAR

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Paul



Nas and the 5 mic "Illmatic" came about because Mc Serch from 3rd Bass managed him and helped secure a deal from Columbia.

So a white dude saw his skill and introduced hip-hop to one of the most political and pro black emcees in the artform.

NAS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nas

and some of the most aggressive pro black music has been created on electronics developed by Japanese and whites.
HIP-HOP and the MPC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPC60

And don't make me bust out Rick Rubin....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rubin

Point I am trying to make is , We all can do so much more together than seperate...
And also , Whites have done some positive things for Hip-Hop , Get off our backs about Vanilla , That was the 90's , Move on :)

I also believe that Bush helped bring the races together to a degree.
Because as each lie was exposed , so was the security of your common "Good Ole Boy"...
A large majority of white america figured out that their president didnt give a damn about them either...
It's WE THE PEOPLE against THEM....I am not saying that in a violent revolution way , I am saying that in a mental revolution way.

We MUST quit letting the enemy divide us ...
Both spiritual and physical...

And let me say this to any uppity racist of any color who looks down on another and hates and says they are ignorant because of their environment.
Allow me to suggest this here...
Knowledge and hope cure ignorance .... So next time you consider supporting a rocket to blow up the moon , We might instead consider putting $79 million into our school systems in our most impoverished areas...This might bring hope and excitement and self confidence and worth and maybe we take 10 million and set it aside and dedicate it to redoing those neighborhoods your scared to drive through....This would create jobs and generate revenue....WOW ! This might mean smarter and more caring people who have something to live for now that they have a nice learning environment and neighborhood , instead of run down schools with crooked politics ,crooked cops , grafitti and pot holes....ETC
Would you support that ?
That's right.... It's easier to complain and live in fear than to spend millions of dollars wisely for the empowerment of our people.


Man...Ya'll don't hear me....

Whatever your message or artform , another race had something to do with it.
We are all connected in this world and the sooner we realize this and accept it as fact , the sooner we can start to evolve.


Where would the world be without each of our unique contributions ?

Where could the world be if we were uniquely focused on our contributions?

So, I am a white man with a hispanic wife and Public enemy tattoo on my arm asking each of you to start looking at the individual across from you as an individual.
Realize they have lives they are living just like you are...
Realize you never know what the next person has been through or is going through....Don't rush to judge....

And think before you speak...

White people...PLEASE stop with the "Well the dictionary defines nigger as "ignorant" rant and especially the "I thought it was ok because I said "Nigga" instead of "Nigger" ... IT's NOT COOL...ANYTIME...Even if Sam Jackson himself tells you it's cool , in his house ... You tell Sam , Thanks but no thanks Sam Jackson!....You may even throw in a "MFing" In between Sam and Jackson to show you got some heart ....

All this should be basic knowledge by now....

How are you cats gonna discuss the immagration issue over enchiladas?

Most of the best people in my life have been Hispanic ...I appreciate and respect the culture ...
as well as every other culture that I learn from and that has shown me love ....Learn and do not fear each other.

Cause truth be told...No matter your race , were all looking for the same thing.....

Happiness.



We've tried everything else , Try truth and Love for a minute...
Peace and Blessings to all.
God Bless
