Have we come too far to forget where we came from today as a people?

This year has been more than just a image of extreme change.

For many of us in America.

We have witnessed a change in what this country has been fighting to become.

More equal for all people to feel we all belong too, in the title of an image of "We the People" that is stated in our constitution that our fore fathers proclaimed as all that is fair and holy as a country united.

And in the past 70 years our history has been reformed from a image of racial divide to the true melting pot that this country has become respectfully.

While many of us have varied views of the memory and the struggle and politics of the past 70 years of changes and the dedication and sacrifice of so many for a common goal that has only as of late shown some form of positive results or not depending on the individual.

The proof is in the reality we all are now living closer together as a country.

I am not saying that we have become a more perfect union of sorts as a country.

But we have grown to become more perfect than we all were more than 70 years ago as a nation united and not as divided as before.

And in the past 70 years or so many people have fought and died for a dream that has become more of a reality today than ever before.

But I wonder...

Have we forgotten about so many who sacrificed so much to get us thus far?

Have we forgotten how far we have come in so little time?

Have we lost hope in our own growth today by forgetting how long it has taken for us to have the amount of change we now live with as a people?

Have we lost respect for the consideration that so many generations before us wished we did much more with so much we have now that we seem to still feel powerless as to what we still need to be fighting for?

Have we lost the ability to feel like we belong to a struggle that is just as needed today as it was 70 years ago?

Have we become ungrateful and unthankful for what we have thus far that so many have struggled and died for us to continue a fight that now has become uninteresting?

Have we become inconsiderate of the sacrifices so many others have made for us to be who we have become today?

Have we considered there is no debt to be repaid to our fore fathers who gave and lost so much for a freedom we now share with others who are just as inconsiderate?

I wonder about these questions and so many more like them while I watch and read so many opinions from so many others whom would not have such a voice or freedom of choice that now seem to have become more complaints as to why they feel they should have more than what they have as of late.

Many of you who now spew political views as if your views are being ignored by many others who all had less of the ability to be considered important enough to be allowed to vote less than 70 years ago.

Many of you who scream foul at the sight of racism and bigotry that was once common place and more extreme.

Yet, you do very little other than complain as a mass of people who have yet taken a torch passed on from pass generations of people who gave more for a struggle that many of you are ungrateful in your actions and deeds thus far.

Many of you think that we have grown more worthy of a freedom we have yet to build into something worth being free for. As if it has become your right to complain more than continue to fight for equality for all of us as Americans and not just for your own personal comfort and concerns.

What can you point too as repayment for what so many others gave you thus far?

Have you given enough to earn as much of a rest that many seem to be taking as not your fight anymore?

Have you forgotten or even shun the power that has been given you for the fear of not being able to do anymore than what you have done thus far?

Have YOU come this far to forget why YOU are here now?


So what's your next move?

As I was reading a very interesting book about the struggle of My people. And how they organized and formed tactics and connections to combine forces for the greater goal of getting us this far in our history.

I started to wonder why are we now doing so little to improve on what we have thus far and why we seem to not be concerned as to why the need for us all to continue to struggle together for a greater good seems to not be as important.

Maybe some of you will better understand what I'm talking about if you too choose to read this book as well.

We Will Return In The Whirlwind: Black Radical Organizations 1960-1975

http://www.akpress.org/2007/items/wewillreturncloth


I seldom read anything from many of the people who post on a regular about so many of todays issues anything about the importance of us picking up the torch left by so many great people who gave their lives in the struggle for more of the freedoms we indulge in now.

So what's your excuse?


Why do you not question yourself and offer more of yourself to a greater good than what we still suffer from today together?


We all have the power and the duty to do more than what we have thus far.

What do you fear?

Are you free enough as you are today?

Has the internet changed our faith or our failure to be content?

I don't think we can blame the internet. That's too easy!

I think we give the internet too much credit for what WE DO. Or should I say what people on the internet are doing that is causing a unfair social condition in people who now are using the internet.

People are blaming the internet for their own abuse of such a powerful tool. Where in fact it is masses of people who are changing their own fate by the misuse of this powerful tool.

At one point these lifestyles were more private and not available to everyone to just explore out of boredom and lust for something new and exciting. People had to make physical contact and then communicate with each other before entering these many acts of these lifestyles. And that took trust and planning and respect in whom invites them into their realm of life and lifestyle. So learning of these lifestyles were not descriptive and instructional as they have become now on the internet.

Also, the internet created the ability to abuse basic reality. So people could be whoever they choose to be and gave people the ability to hide behind images and words that in person may not reflect the reality of truth as to who and how they really are. So people on the internet changed their basic morality as to fairness and responsibility to be open and truthful as to who they are and what they are about.

And internet sites and communities became open for corruption of intent. And people started to change the way they related to others and the amount of choices they have available. And the Bootycall was invented and the dating scene changed people and the way they treated others. And people became more blinded by a reality that had too many choices and too many options to devote to any chance acquaintance they made. And greed and confusion became more of a temptation as the internet became more available to masses of new people who found it easier to chat and search for anything and anyone they stumbled upon. And drama became a new word for unstable realities and a lack of the ability to communicate and be honest.

Thus, these lifestyles began to also suffer from mass abuse of honor and trust. And THAT is what so many claim they are lacking in being able to respect these relationship based lifestyles.

And people who NOW treat the internet as a means of communication have lost the ability to communicate and relate to others all because so many people abuse this realm of communication and exploration. And it has become too easy to loose sight of what they are searching for and why.

So now we try to blame the internet for causing the corruption of masses of people who now are not able to form stable friendships and fruitful relationships when in fact each person has no idea how so many people have changed the way they live and relate to each other respectfully.

So we can't out of all fairness blame the internet because it is just a means of communication and exploration.

We have to blame ourselves for loosing our own ability to respect each other as people who deserve the same. And we have all become addicted to not just choices that the internet offers everyone, but our addiction to finding better choices at a click of a mouse. Thus we now have lost our faith in our own reality. And it has become too easy to make the wrong choices of what we desire over the possibilities that something else or someone else is just advertising a better product or promise of being just what we need. So we have now become unstable people with too many choices and too many options that are possible.

And nobody wants to take the blame for having lost their faith to the internet. Because we are just simple people with too many choices to make just ONE and stick with it long enough to respect it.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the screen.

And these lifestyles are not unstable temptations caused by too many people being able to indulge in whatever they find interesting.

We just don't want to respect that other people are addicted to the internet and what it offers. Just as we are addicted to false advertisement for the need for something we can't have.

And that is a life that is not based on what we do online but what we have truthfully offline that is worth more than a better advertisement.

That's why we have more people in the history of this country that are single and looking for someone as a life partner or people who are just looking for something better to do with their lives that they see advertised.

These lifestyles are relationship based sexual lifestyles that were made to enhance what we choose to respect. And the only thing we respect is our connection speed and greed.

The miseducation of our own mentality. Taking back our humaity.

I was chatting with a old friend of Mine.

We were talking about the current issues.
Mostly our people and our children.
And what needs to be done.

And he said:
I Just look at our babies and our homes, and thats the bottom line.
and with that said i also feel we as brother's have to fine more time being king's, treating, and reminding our women that they are Queens and not so called Diva's

And I replied;

Yeah...

But being Kings and Queens in theory is great.

I think the problem with that theory is the conduct of many Kings and Queens are not very impressive too. It gives off a Elitist midset that most can't handle humbly.

Ladies and Gents is better. Because you can teach the difference between what they are and what they should do.

The ROYAL mentality is KILLING our people.

*blank stare*

We have to get back to Humanity.

Being better humans to each other.

Being better partners to our mates.
Being better friends to each other.

And being better at not just knowing our selves, but knowing our deeper selves and striving for a deeper knowledge of our greater selves to be.

I think we are teaching with the wrong images and causing our people to compete and not relate.

That's what we have competitions and not relationships.

They don't KNOW any better.

If it takes a village? Then we have to find a better reason to respect the need of community and get back to being better people to other people.

We as a people have lost sight of what's right for what we have been learning right now.

And our children are mutants and not little animals. We have to learn how to help them learn how to better MASTER their mutations and not try to mimmic(sp) our inferior images of the past.

I was a prodigy child. Gifted.
But nothing as gifted as many of todays children are becoming.

We have to stop trying to make robots.

And make better humans who are trained to respect all of humanity

We as a people have been mis-educated.

We have been taught to be elitist and not humble humans.
We have been taught to be Diva's and not Ladies.
We have been taught to be Players and not Gentlemen.
We have been taught to be Royals without responsibility to whom you serve.
We have been taught it's Us against Them and not that we all are communal people in need of building better bridges and support and not barriers and enemies.

We have been taught a warped sense of reality.

And it's less important to mention who and why more than what we should be NOW and HOW.

Because we as a world of people are becoming a new world of new people who are in need of learning from each other and not trying to dominate over each other.

We need to take back our humanity.

And learn to become better humans with each other.

Because that's all we have left.

Each other.
