  • 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.

BLIND SLAVERY SYSTEM

 

We are beginning a movement that request every book in our school systems which refer to us as "Slaves" or "Slavery" be changed to read "Slave System."  How can you expect a child to learn with confidence when you start them off in a school system describing them to all of the other students with a word that is completely untrue and negative to the historical facts?  Our forefathers and mothers were not Slaves but were placed in a Slave System.  The description of the word "System" in the dictionary is (a set of principles, rules, procedures, laws or the like.) 
 
It is a plain to see that Black people from the beginning of this country were controlled by a set of principles, rules, procedures and laws.  I keep emphasizing this because if you say "slave" or "slavery" you will never begin to think about what principles, what rules, what procedures and what laws that were used to keep us captured in the Slave System.  When you start using this thinking process, you will wake up to new knowledge about yourself and be able to see what's been blinding you.  You are blind when you keep using the words "slave" or "slavery."  Stand up and sign up - 

 
Below I will prove to you how the SLAVE SYSTEM is still alive using the "word game".  Take the SLAVE SYSTEM test below - I bet you'll never guess what the answer is.
