Balance for Humanity

Brothers and sisters, our efforts are not to further encourage animosity between us and whites, or any other group, it is to minimize the damage done by supremacist thinking among ALL ethnicities.  White supremacists are not the only guilty parties on this planet.

As Fred Hampton, Malik El Hajj Shabazz, and many others showed us, the issue isn't white people.  We have an issue with racial, ethnic, religious, national, or any other label, SUPREMACISTS.  As long as the ideology of superiority based on superficial traits exists, humanity will be limited in flourishing to its highest potential.

We must redirect our focus away from the minor effects and recognize the major causes.  There are those in fear of globalism because they are threatened by the idea of wiping away traditional divisions believed to superior to all others.  We must learn that balance is needed, not extremism.  Let's seek to POWER UP!

The Great Illusion

The biggest issues we face, specifically in the U.S., is manipulation of people thru economics via education.

We are being used to increase power for an elite few under the illusion of improved quality of life as EXCESSIVE CONSUMERS! 

All the capital we generate is being used to pay mortgages/rent, car notes, and other bills RIGHT BACK to those who pay us for our work.

We're not being educated to use our money to save, become investors, and social enterprisers, we've been conditioned to work, earn, and spend/consume.  It's personally and collectively killing us.

That has to change, it starts today with you and I changing how we perceive this world.  POWER UP!

Fighting for HUMANITY

We are NOT animals.  This isn't survival of the fittest.  We evolved with a higher consciousness to experience a greater form of life.  We are here to LOVE one another.

Yes, some of us make over $15 per hour due to securing certain jobs, however, that doesn't mean that others should be given scraps to feed themselves and their family.  Where's the HUMANITY in that?

Some claim that if they can rise by getting an education and securing a salary above poverty anybody can.  Everybody doesn't have the same circumstances, resources, and network to achieve that.  Plus, there aren't enough "high paying" jobs for those who have degrees.  Not all can fill the vacant engineering and medical jobs.

Regardless of what position one can individually attain, it still doesn't excuse exploitation and not setting a minimum wage that can reward those who want to work with wages they can have a decent life with.

Let your higher self guide you to make the decision to support what's right.

Why Misled Youth Don't Fear Prison

You can't rely on the threat of prison as a means of handling the majority of crime generated by our misled youth because prison doesn't currently appear as a consequence to them (I should know, I once thought like them).

A lot of our youth come from dysfunctional homes.  When you're traumatized and feel you have NOTHING to lose, because you have nothing, prison appears to solve a lot of problems to those lost, including food, clothing, shelter, health care, etc.

So stop with the law enforcement and judicial system talk.  Focus on addressing traumas, families, and quality of life.

Why The World Lives in Fear

Too many people are living in fear:

- The wealthy live in fear of losing power from what they have amassed.

- The middle class live in fear of not being recognized by the wealthy and being seen as snobs by the poor.

- The poor live in fear of living a life not worth living, being targeted by the wealthy and looked down on by the middle class.

- Those who shun the material world and focus on spirituality live in fear of fear...

POWER UP!

Why I Am An Activist

THEM: Mike, are you an activist?
ME: Indeed I am.

THEM: A Black Activist?
ME: An activist that is black?  Yes. 
If you are asking if I am active on behalf of things that only affect black people, no.

THEM: What type of activist are you?
ME: One who seeks justice, freedom, and equality under the law for ALL people!  ALL people must be uplifted especially Blacks in America because they have the most unequal statistics.

THEM: What needs to be addressed?
ME: Here are a few things off the top:

- Government (especially state and local) corruption and mismanagement on ALL levels
- Continued use of key public offices being used by white supremacists for their agendas
- Continued neglect and abuse of poor people
- Continued mis-and-undereducation of ALL Americans especially Blacks

This is why I end my informative posts with the term "POWER UP!" because the masses are a mighty engine of justice that have been purposely turned off, who now need to be turned on... POWER UP!
