  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

Bad Shepherds Collaborating with Big Bad Wolves

Bad Shepherds Collaborating with Big Bad Wolves

Are shepherds holding their flock in the same pastures until the Big Bad Wolf of Government cut them to the bone?  pastedGraphic_1.pdf
Is religion being used to help maintain people in a mindset of helplessness until politicians cuts their social safety nets and education programs?   pastedGraphic_2.pdf      pastedGraphic_3.pdf

No person can every grow beyond the food that they are being fed. If religion continues to provide poor nutrition, then the poor will always be poor, helpless and at the mercy of uncaring politicians, who fail to solve problems, as they take turns leading.

I propose a new tool for measuring leadership in religion, politics, social and community leaders called Solution Based Results. Whereby no leader is given more than one term of service to produce results to problems that their community identifies. There should be a total turnover each new election or contract renewal, if they fail to produce verifiable results in education, jobs,  job training, housing, infrastructure, social and economic empowerment of their communities,  city, county, state and the country.  Any leader who can’t walk and chew gum at the same time does not deserve your vote or tithes.  "YES WE CAN!" 

Like the spirit of democracy sweeping over North Africa, Americans must finally wake up and realized our current conditions will not change unless we change who and what is being taught to us. Are we being held down for the wolves? We need to be taught that we are the sleeping lions, acting like sheep.  It's all a mind game that leaders are trained to perpetrate on the poor and middle class.  Are your ready to stop drinking their religious and political Kool-aid and embrace a will of self empowerment?  Once you know the truth, it is a choice to forget, ignore or ask for another cup.
