  • 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...

BLACK DAD WALKIN - Joshua Ryan Sinclair - SHATTERING STEREOTYPES

The 10,000 MILE WALK (Completely AROUND The USA) FOR CHILDREN'S RIGHTS has been postponed (pending the replacement of the support vehicle).  Nevertheless, my small crew and I are still on "STANDBY" (basically ready to go) and I am eager to get started.

I will WALK from Rochester, NY to Seattle, WA, then San Diego, CA, then Miami, FL, then Bangor, Maine (via Washington, DC), then back to Rochester, NY, via Albany, NY.  If it is GOD'S WILL I will average 30 miles each day and complete the march within ONE-YEAR.

The primary purpose of the march is to raise awareness regarding "CHILDREN'S RIGHTS" (Malachi 4:5&6 [3:23&24 in the Catholic Bible]) - As well as to indisputably manifest my immeasureable love and concern for (and devotion to) my children, Evan, Ethan & Eian Sinclair.

I also hope and pray that I will be blessed to shatter some of the common stereotypes regarding black & latino fathers, and to exhort feuding parents to cease using innocent children as pawns & weapons during or after custody disputes (or because of any conflict between the child[ren]'s parents).  And to expose bias, corruption and incompetence in the Family Court, Law Guardian & CPS system across the USA - A $30 BILLION DOLLAR PER YER INDUSTRY which treats children as mere pawns and commodities. 

 Hence, in addition to Malachi 4:5&6,  The 10,000 MILE WALK (Completely AROUND The USA) FOR CHILDREN'S RIGHTS is inspired by The Only True God, Jehovah (Psalm 83:18), His holy spirit, and His word, The Bible, including Isaiah 1:17

Concerned Citizens and anyone else who may be interested in following the progress of the march can do so via the "CHILDRENS RIGHTS" page and the "10,000 MILE WALK ... FOR CHILDREN'S RIGHTS" page on Facebook.  And/or "TheONEManMarch" page and the "BlackDadWalkin" page on Twitter.
