HOPE and VICTORY

Jerel Shaw It's strange when there has been so much energy put into the nobility of diversity in societal institutions as equality still remains elusive.  If giving a litany of examples would help, then let's  get started. Gentrification is surely a derivative of diversity, yet it also be considered 'negative' diversity.  When your traditionally urban black community is invaded by (mostly) well-to-do (white) citizens - even a hand-full - that should present a clear paradigm for diversity.  The only problem is that if the net returns are expected to be positive for the poor indigenous occupants, don't hold your breath. Poor people and well-off people being next do or neighbors can either elevate (or equalize) the conditions of everyone or add depth and complexity to the problem, like when the Biblical scripture says "the poor will be with you always", people may feel that is a license to ignore their plight, whether next door neighbors or not.

Venezuela: Establishment Talking Points Translation Key Things keep heating up in Venezuela, with possible “ military options ” now being seriously discussed at the Pentagon. And of course you know what that means! That’s right, it means we can expect to see even more lies and manipulations from the political/media class as the narrative managers try to get their rapey little fingers into our minds to manufacture support for unconscionable acts. This can create a very confusing environment for everyone, where up means down and black means white and “humanitarian intervention” means “murdering thousands and thousands of innocent human beings”.

Working with professionals in fighting against a terminal illness that had devastated individuals, families and communities globally was a great learning experience.  The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) had not only affected and infected people in general, but it brought havoc on people who I loved.  It was a death sentence for decades. There are many deadly diseases that need controlling, yet many are not being controlled simply because establishment is paralyzed until help is identified.  Yet, the part that we rarely broach is the fact the aftermath of devastation.  For HIV/AIDS many people died leaving a indelible scar on our hearts, however, there are those who survived where their lives will never be the same.  In a nutshell, when things in life are under attack, they never remain the same. Of course, there will always be people people who courageously and boldly resist diabolical forces t...

Mark 9:42 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. 6 hours ago "More than 14,000 unaccompanied immigrant children are in government custody — a new record high — and all signs point to that number getting larger. This is inhumane."  @KamalaHarris Verified accoun @KamalaHarr
