  • 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 Men and Women Require a Systematic Marriage Training Program

Black Men and Women Require a Systematic Marriage Training Program

 

When you want to create a societal change, it must be intentional and systematic.  Of course, Black Men need marriage!  Many just don't know it, due to lack of role models that don’t demonstrate the benefits of marriage.  I'm not just referring to the sex, and that's a major component of it.  I'm referring the physical, emotional and psychological health of connecting with the right person.  The pooling of two incomes in one house and the producing, nurturing and raising health productive children.  Our current education system has no incentive to do this for Black Folks.  Being paired with another person is the natural human state for all animals, including human beings.  With the lack of education, training and preparation program for Black Men and Women, such as a focus on completing an education that includes the option of job training or a college degree, relationship training, ethical and moral training, accountability and responsibility training, just to name a few, the Black Divorce Rate rate will continue to increase.  Couples have too many options to remain in a unhealthy marriage.

 

Black Folks must demand better leadership and accountability for solving our problems at every level of our society.  They must develop and implement a National Black Empowerment Plan similar to The Quiet Resolution (TQR) (Free Copy at http://www.MyMoneyBduget.com), which has such an education and training program component.  Black Men operate on the knowledge that they have.  If we want them to do better, teach them better! 

 

Just my 2 cent.
