#BlackLivesMatter yet another #BlackLifeGone

Float with me on this..

I've been thinking a lot lately about the Haitian Revolution, not really sure why. Couldn't even really tell you where it came from, but i've been doing some HEAVY research on it; and today in one of our frequent conversations, lol , I'm going just going to share with you, what he has explained to me....but only because he told me too lmao...(y’all probably think i'm tripping but just hear me out lol!!!)

Now, to avoid getting too deep (because i can get deep lol), essentially, the african slaves that were brought to what was then, Saint-Domingue, revolted against the white slave owners, and took back what is now, Haiti..they killed all the white people...Allofem. Gone. lol..Well, the European and other white leaders started to hear about it because they were white refugees fleeing from Haiti. Peep that Trump, white refugees, who'd ever thunk huh? smh. The slaves got tired of being slaves and all linked up. Well, what does any of that have to do with anything Tone?? Glad you asked lmao..

Thomas Jefferson, yep, probably heard of em before. WELP!! Good ole Jefferson heard the news and got NERVOUS. He was already having a little trouble dealing with some revolts of his own. He knew if his slaves decided they were going to link up, and TOGETHER.....fight back, "Brother was going to have some problems" lmao..So he started enacting all these policies and whatnot to isolate Haiti from the US. After the Africans took over Haiti, he never recognized their independence.

They never gave a damn about us.

Now, because I told yall I can get deep lol, put this in perspective...

Think about the money that would've been generated from the Chris Brown / Soulja Boy fight. I saw a report, not sure how true, that Diddy just hit the $1 Billion mark..DOPE..Oprah, Tyler Perry, Michael Jordan, the rappers, CEOs, etc....and for what? Just to have it? To continue to build up their BUSINESS? Ye told yall we the new slaves!!! The house negros just got upgraded!! Why do I say that???...put this in perspective.

There are kids STARVING in Africa.

My people, why are we not investing back into ourselves? We speak out on racism in America, yet kill our own people. Black Lives Matter yet another Black Life Gone. We want the white man to treat us "equal" while "decreasing" our brother. They brought the slaves here to build up their land so they could satisfy their ego. Why are we not taking care of the Motherland that we're so quick to defend? The USA has been raping black women since before slavery, this land is just the white mans half bred child and we all know they love to be in control!!!

I've been trying to figure out why I'm here...my purpose..what I was "sent here to do". It's a constant, daily, frequent, often times frustrating conversation smh lol. I mean, prayer is simply a conversation, right?

The Mission: Africa.

A Second Chance

The book of Philemon was actually the book that started "The Biblical Nerd" . It was after hearing one a Bishop T.D. Jakes sermon a few years ago, that sent me on my "Quest for Biblical Knowledge" . It's also one of the shortest books in the bible in fact, with just one chapter and 25 verses. (shorter than this post). Written by the Apostle Paul, this short but powerful letter of love and forgiveness, was sent to Philemon in regards to one of his slaves, Onesimus. This happens to be one of my favorite stories in the bible and one I read and think about often. That being said, let's get into it shall we? I'll start off with a little background of the characters, then bring it all together. Mind clear? Body relaxed? Good. Here we go!!: Philemon Leader of the Church of Colossae church met at his house royalty; owned slaves; Onesimus follower of Christ; converted by Paul Onesimus slave of Philemon ran away after committing a crime against P...

God Sent Me an Uber

After being completely and utterly disappointed and frustrated with my current life situation, i decided something had to change. Knowing that I have ran my life into a deep hole of a mess and that I could and SHOULD be doing much better, that’s what I wanted. I wanted to be happy; something I’ve never been before. So I made the call. I got God on the line and told him everything. How forgotten and abandoned I felt, as if he were picking on me. All of my failures, disappointments, the blown / mismanaged opportunities. I opened up and got everything off my chest. The ups, the downs, the would’ve-should’ve-could’ves’....Everything. After going on my little rant and after a brief moment of silence, mixed with some chuckling, I was told that I was being sent a car; an Uber. “Just get in the car and I’ll tell you how to fix it.”  Now once again, i felt like me and my issues were just another crumb on a table full of loaves that was just going to get passed over and wiped away. But ...

Yesterday evening as I was strolling down my Instagram timeline, I ran across a video of 100 Black men, greeting students as they arrived on their first day of school. Dressed in suit and ties, the video was of them clapping and applauding the kids as they exited off of the school bus. After watching it, the idea about doing something similar in my hometown would be a pretty cool idea. So I made a status and posted in on Facebook. Within 20 minutes, I found myself on the organizing end of getting 50 Black Men together to provide the same welcome and encouragement to the students of Person County, as our brothers did in Atlanta. Often, I find myself passing on opportunities due to fear. I struggle with self-doubt; I'm harder on myself than anyone else could ever be. The only thing that I could think about after getting back such a strong, positive response from the community, was how am I going to get 50 men together for this? I prayed on it and went to sleep. When I woke up t...
