  • 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.

    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.

Get Over it!

I have always been on the receiving end of hurt and pain. People don't realize that their truth hurts just as much as my truth.

So, why am I wrong and they are right? What are they walking in? Well, the time has come that no matter who is right and who is wrong: GET OVER IT.

 There is nothing like living life in the middle of the problems others have created and put over you. You cannot go on. I could not go on. In the middle of the trials and struggles the stresses and the mishaps, I felt myself drifting away from the knowledge of what is right and trying to love with the Love of the LORD. I found myself allowing the enemy to come in and take my JOY.....WHY?

Becuase I couldn't get over it!

My truth lies in between the good word of God; Genesis thru Revelation has all of my well needed instructions to get through. BUT, my trust lies with and in my GOD in heaven. When I say Get over IT...get over the trials ASAP, get over the church hurt, get over the job loss or the failing economy and start trusting in GOD! He is the way out for all of His children

At some point you have to start looking up and  not out at people!
