Racial Voilence On the Streets of America

There is so much about race in America that makes it hard for the average man to comprehend. In fact it's more complex relative to racial diversity itself in America and yet there seems to be no way we can see reconciliation among racial divides. Of course I am talking about the latest killings in Baton Rouge, Louisa and Dallas, Texas respectively.

It is also true that when you are on the streets of America as a black man,  you are often viewed differently and instantly becomes a target of police brutality and I am saying this not because of what I heard somebody somewhere said, but from a very painful personal experience. However, to target the police as a form of revenge is never the answer. There are so many ways voices can be heard and issues of this sort addressed but not in retaliatory violent ways.

Today's killing of some three officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which is just barely a week after five officers were killed in Dallas,Texas. And at this point it is safe to say the motives behind these police killings are complex racial relations between police officers and especially black men on the streets of America. There is frustration, anger, and to some degree gross feelings of injustice felt by the marginalize and it is true there is the need to be a way for people to hear the truth and the struggle the black man endures on daily basis. To live in a country that claims to be free and yet being stopped, harassed and oppressed because of your skin pigmentation is a moral disgrace.

So it is my hope that people of good moral conscience and with power will find ways to patch up these tensions in society or more blood will continue to be shed and innocent lives of  both the civilians and the police will be lost on the streets of America. So help us God.

Never Quit,Pal

If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.

Another Big Terrorist Hit on France

Before God and man I have no idea why ISIS would wants to see France on her knees so bad. Not long ago over one hundred twenty people lost their lives in France following terrorist attack at a theater and just a day or two ago while people were out celebrating Bastille day in Nice,France, a truck load of ammunitions plowed through the crowd killing over eighty people. And not surprising, ISIS earlier this morning came out and claim responsibility for all those lost innocent souls. President Francois Hollande has since declared a state of emergency with no immediate plans to overturn that. Please keep the French men and women in your prayers. May God deliver us from the hand of the evil ones. 

A Failed Turkish Coup?

Here we go with yet another highlight of geopolitics in Turkey which kept many across our planet mesmerized. I don’t know what made the military in Turkey thinks that they could topple the regime of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. According to news report, at least some 40 service men and perhaps women have been killed in an exchange with pro-forces. The president made a statement earlier this morning that his government is in control of everything and that the men responsible for this unrest in the country will pay for their actions in full. At the moment thousands of arrests have been made following the failed coup through their imposition of Marshall Law. Mr. Erdoğan is a democratically elected president and as a result he has the full support of the United States and NATO or OTAN depending on which part of the world you are. I still can’t comprehend this but I guess this is what happens when there are so many unhappy campers under a certain government, and hence a brief word on that. Stay informed, watch and pray.
