Creating New Norms In Our Society
Op-Ed Published 6/28/2020 on

What's at stake can be not
measured. We want Equal Justice for all, Education for all, Economic
Opportunity for all, Equal Pay for all, Health Care for all, Standard National
Policing Policies, and more. As I hear from our youth (revolutionary leaders), I
will incorporate more of their vision of a new society in the US and globally.
What I have seen so far on the national level is an
effort to smokescreen the public in thinking congress will work on good
substantial legislation to eradicate racism and segregation finally. Sen. Scott
of South Carolina, a Black American, supports the racism of this President and
division, Dr. Ben Carson, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development are
traitors to humanity. They are promoting seeds of negativity and confusion for
the privileges they have received.
Watch out for the pale riders descending among the
revolutionist. The WH will send all of its messengers to plant confusion,
separation, and dissolution of the revolution efforts.
In response to what is occurring right now, I offer the
following. We are in depths of real revolutionary war for Justices and
Equality. We are on the verge of the total breakdown of our democracy.
The creator is displeased with humankind, and despite
His word, you are still questioning His words. We are in a Jericho moment or
goliath moment for humanity. Lies, deception, manipulation, dishonesty,
stealing, taking, and possession of another person's property deny a person
human rights.
I have seen some of the children born to lead a new
world of equality. I have touched some and acknowledge others. It is strange to
me, but I listen to the creator, and I accept Him.

The Creator Gift to You
The Creator Gift to You
Published: 6/20/2020
Many of our people have suffered, dedicating themselves
to justice, resisting injustice, and making away for those coming behind them.
Resistance to oppression is not new. It merely calls us
to resist the oppression and injustices weighed upon us by those in power. I
can tell you the Creator walks with you and all others who genuinely want to
live in a world that is not of corruption. In a world without evil doings,
suppression, selfishness, manipulation for no good, hoarding wealth, and not
sharing, insensitivity, and inability to show love to humanity.
Martin Luther King fought racism for our freedom from
oppression; Mahatma Gandi taught the non-violent method of protest and
equality. Cesar Chavez fought for the rights of migrant workers. Nelson Mandela
fought for freedom and endured jail for Black African civil rights. Chief
Joseph, Geronimo, Sitting Bull great native American leaders, Osceola, who
resisted American occupation of Seminole land. Natchez, the tremendous Native
Chief, fought for freedom, The African American Soldiers alongside Natives
fought in Hampton Roads for liberty until the Union Army arrived during the
Civil war.
Resistant and sometimes unavoidable confrontation gives
way to change. The Creator gave us one of his own in George Floyd to start
taking back freedom and the ability to live in a just society. With Education
for all, non-violent law enforcement, and a legal system with equal justice for
all. Health care for everyone with no obligations to pay and a political system
that is fair to all citizens. No matter if you are a Christian, Jewish, Muslim,
Buddist, Jehovah. If we believe as we say we do, then it is not hard to follow
Him. Show love for one another, treat each other with respect, support each
other, encourage each other to be the best we can be. We can live in peace
without oppression, suppression, and indignity always thrown in our faces.
We will not be silent anymore but rise to be heard and
to make changes for a better world. A better tomorrow is coming, no more lying,
manipulation, schemes, misdirection, the negation of human rights, and no more
suffering mentally and physically.
God has brought Cov19 and Floyd as a wake-up call. Does
the Creator need to give His people more pain and suffering before they wake
up? We have to protect ourselves from racism, bigotry, evil doings, and live in
the light of truth, honesty, and prosperity for all.
I call on the spirits of our ancestors to give us
guidance in this matter. I call on the Creator to allow our ancestors to speak
to us and provide clarity as we move towards a new way of living. A revolution
towards a just world with no greed, mistrust, corruption, racism,
discrimination.
Keep your foot on the peddle and keep pushing for your
rights.

An Evolution in Our Way of Life Begins
Op-Ed
An Evolution in Our Way of Life has Begun
Let us not
forget where we have traveled and moved from during this Corv19 pandemic? Stay
at home, 14-day quarantine, testing, social distancing, creating new ways to
communicate, personal protection equipment, food shortages, loss of jobs,
violent behavior (theft, shootings, rape, abuse, neglect), creative ways of
teaching children at home, etc. This is all new to us but is required to move
out of the abyss this country has been experiencing for the last few years. Cov19 has exposed our weaknesses and extremely
dangerous social norms exhibited by some of our society.
Over time we
have experienced lots of changes in this country. The founding of our country
required a revolution to free us from England and the King, the resistance was
strong with many challenges but we made it. The Civil War that freed slaves and
indentured servants, Women’s right to vote, equal pay for all, no child left
behind, eradication of gerrymandering, and many other events have led to changes.
In all situations we have made the nation a better place for the next
generation. We have made changes resistantly simply because it is new and takes
us out of a comfort zone. Cov19 has impacted our lives that we can never turn
back but move forward and creating a new vision of the whole community.
National and world unity for the first time is on its way.
National and
world unity is another period of change that is going to cause mental and
emotional pain and endurance. Cov19 has shown our vulnerabilities, weaknesses,
character towards those in different economic classes, and minority racial
groups. Cov19 ha hit hard minority communities extremely hard. Cab drivers, sanitation
workers, assembly-line factory workers in the food industry, waiters, bus
drivers, cleaning attendance, maids, consumer workers in stores, flight baggage
attendance, and much. Native Americans have felt the inequality. The treatment
of people of color differently in our judicial system and encouragement of
separation and disenfranchisement has long been a problem and stain on our
country.
We must
change our behavior and create a new social-cultural identification, a balance
equal, and a fair society for all.
It is time
for a change, a new and challenging way of thinking with new leadership at the
local, state, and federal levels. Leaders that see the whole community, not as separate
parts based on lobbying and money. It is time we provide Universal health care
to all regardless of the ability to pay, to control salaries for medical
professionals, and to begin a national higher education system for all after
high school like regional colleges and universities designed to specialize in
different career paths. Mail-in voting and electronic voting by computer.
Judicial
rules design for every judge to use in making standardized decisions and a
Judicial review committee overseeing their work and adherence to the rules of
law. We should require a balance on the judicial bench both at the federal and
local levels. Universal police force monitored daily, environmental protection
of our air and resource and reduction of plastics and other dangerous materials
which include gas emissions and the use of chemicals in plants.
Do not think
you can be silent and stand on the sidelines. It is time to make significant
changes to how we live our lives and how we see each other as a value to this
country. We must bring other countries along and not see ourselves as the dominant
country but as a partner for the good of the whole world. No more war or
threats but working towards understanding and working together towards a better
world.
This all
requires everyone to participate in round table discussions as representatives
of the whole community not just one or two parts of the community.
I vision a
community not trying to get back to things as they were but looking towards a
better social society for the entire world. My mom would say “You cannot change
the past it is done and there are lessons to learn at each step you take”. You
can be better if you take those lessons and improve yourself and the community around
you.
