Lesson Of The Day: Django Unchained...

Keeping It Real: What was all the hoopla about Django Unchained? It was depicted from way, way back in the day!

Did people really expect them to say, Black man or Negro instead of the "N" word? Really?? Even though, it was from the days when the N word was a prominent part of their vocabulary and used on a daily basis? 

How effective would the movie had been, if he would have used words to pacify and appease Black people? 

Mmm Hmmm Movie, people, it was a movie and most of it including the language was beneficial to and for the movie to succeed!!! Ya Dig?..

Lesson Of The Day: Life Without Black People

A very humorous and revealing story is told about a group of white people who were fed up with African Americans, so they joined together and wished themselves away. They passed through a deep dark tunnel and emerged in sort of a twilight zone where there is an America without Black People.

At first these white people breathed a sigh of relief.

'At last', they said, 'no more crime, drugs, violence and welfare.'

All of the blacks have gone! Then suddenly, reality set in. The 'NEW  AMERICA' is not  America at all - only a barren land.

1. There are very few crops that have flourished because the nation was built on a slave-supported system.

2. There are no cities with tall skyscrapers because Alexander Mils, a black man, invented the elevator, and without it, one finds great difficulty reaching higher floors.

3. There are few if any cars because Richard Spikes, a black man, invented the automatic gearshift, Joseph Gambol, also black, invented the Super Charge System for Internal Combustion Engines, and Garrett A. Morgan, a black man, invented the traffic signals.

4. Furthermore, one could not use the rapid transit system because its procurer was the electric trolley, which was invented by another black man, Albert R. Robinson.

5. Even if there were streets on which cars and a rapid transit system could operate, they were cluttered with paper because an African American, Charles Brooks, invented the street sweeper..

6. There were few if any newspapers, magazines and books because John Love invented the pencil sharpener, William Purveys invented the fountain pen, and Lee Barrage invented the Type Writing Machine and W. A. Love invented the Advanced Printing Press. They were all, you guessed it, Black.

7. Even if Americans could write their letters, articles and books, they would not have been transported by mail because William Barry invented the Postmarking and Canceling Machine, William Purveys invented the Hand Stamp and Philip Downing invented the Letter Drop.

8. The lawns were brown and wilted because Joseph Smith invented the Lawn Sprinkler and John Burr the Lawn Mower.

9. When they entered their homes, they found them to be poorly ventilated and poorly heated. You see, Frederick Jones invented the Air Conditioner and Alice Parker the Heating Furnace. Their homes were also dim. But of course, Lewis Lattimer later invented the Electric Lamp, Michael Harvey invented the lantern, and Granville T. Woods invented the Automatic Cut off Switch. Their homes were also filthy because Thomas W. Steward invented the Mop and Lloyd P.. Ray the Dust Pan.

10. Their children met them at the door - barefooted, shabby, motley and unkempt.  But what could one expect? Jan E. Matzelinger invented the Shoe Lasting Machine, Walter Sammons invented the Comb, Sarah Boone invented the Ironing Board, and George T. Samon invented the Clothes Dryer.

11. Finally, they were resigned to at least have dinner amidst all of this turmoil. But here again, the food had spoiled because another Black Man, John Standard invented the refrigerator.

Now, isn't that something? What would this country be like without the contributions of Blacks, as African-Americans?

Martin Luther King, Jr. said, 'by the time we leave for work, millions of Americans have depended on the inventions from the minds of Blacks.'

Black history includes more than just slavery, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey & W.E.B. Dubois. Ya Dig?...

Lesson Of The Day: God & Why He Made Black People

Keeping It Real: I made you in the color of coal  from which beautiful diamonds are formed...I made you in the color of oil,
the black gold which keeps people warm.

All colors of the heavenly rainbow can be found throughout every nation... When all these colors are blended, you become my greatest creation!

Your hair is the texture of lamb's wool, such a beautiful creature is he... I am the shepherd who watches them, I will ALWAYS watch over thee!

You are the color of the midnight sky, I put star glitter in your eyes...
There's a beautiful smile hidden behind your pain... That's why your cheeks are so high!

You are the color of dark clouds from the hurricanes I create in September...I made your lips so full and thick, so when you kiss...they will remember!

Your stature is strong, your bone structure thick to withstand the
burden of time...The reflection you see in the mirror, that image that looks back,..that is MINE!

So get off your knees, look in the mirror and tell me what you see?
I didn't make you in the image of darkness... I made you in the image of ME!  Ya Dig?...
