Evening Post

Since I was a young boy growing up in the East New York section of Brooklyn I can always remember how I would think of our ancestors. There was always this need or yearning feeling to hear them talk or speak to me. I wondered what they would say and how they would have taught me to deal with life issues. The thought of their tones and accents ringing so far deep in my spirit that I could feel exactly what they meant by each syllable they spoke.

That mystery still lives on today.

What saddens me is the thought of embarrassment and disgust they would feel if they were alive today. What would they say to the many ills that we support almost religiously just to fit with what society says is acceptable.  Again the thought alone is horrifyingly distasteful and beyond acceptability........

One of the greatest titles one could tattoo or brand on any man's life-line would be FATHER.
Father - hood with all of its challenges and obstacles certainly tops the iceberg, if you may.

Today I'm watching the movie Mandela with my family. Together we're sitting and watching how one race of people oppress another race of people because of the shade of their skin. The ignorance that plagued those persons back then have also remained embedded in the hearts of many of those with lighter complexions today. So as the questions ring out, the ears remain at full attention looking for answers.  REAL ANSWERS

As a father it is my obligation to make the truth known to them and give them the necessary tools needed to do better and be better than those before us. I refuse to water down the truth because that would be the lie that condemns them to death. A spiritual death. One that could sentence them to a life of darkness because the truth would be hidden...... I cannot subject my babies to such.

Let today be a starting point for you and your family. Share time with things that have validity rather than the obvious so called entertainment foolishness deemed fit by that status quo. The best judgement is made by those whom take time to reflect on what's being asked, just as well as the answers that should follow. It's a must that we create the future and create those that are HEAD STRONG and properly fueled with what we need to help our people and help all of humanity.

HUMANITY NEEDS HELP
