At The Table

This month I was going to announce my departure from blogging.



Just to be honest…I had enough! There wasn’t much else for me to say. Then I thought about the other reason that I was leaving.
What I am about to say may make me a hypocrite, I may come off judgmental, some may even think who am I to say such things.
Well, someone needs to say it, for many really need to hear it.


In this world and the next…WE NEED EACH OTHER!




Now that statement may come off a bit like a hippy, kumbaya, or just another rant from a person suffering from far too much empathy. I guess the only retort to that is there is already enough apathy. Too much judgment or should I say way too many idiosyncratic standards that keeps us as a people in the very same stagnant position that we have been in for decades, centuries, since the beginning. Where is the evolution? Where are the priorities? How can what is important to you be so much more important than us?


Now with that being said…you can disagree with what I am about to say, you can say you don’t believe it, or even just use willful ignorance…




ALL OF OUR LIVES ARE POLITICAL!


That’s right!


P-O-L-I-T-I-C-A-L!


Everything we do has a political slant. Don’t believe me…show me! Prove to me that I am wrong! I will wait………..






Now that no one can or will ever prove me wrong let’s get to the point that we need each other. So, here are some things I have been privy to in the internet world:




“You know. I was going to forward this video over to my facebook page up until you lost your intelligence when you started using the f-word. Not everyone enjoys profanity over common sense language. Nevertheless, you make very valid points.”



Swear words are SO offensive that you will ignore a valid point in order to pass judgment on to someone? Or are you trying to get people to deliver a message that fits the language that you approve of?



Why does that matter? Is it not more important to move forward, make progress, and have productive lives? Or are you being political? Imposing your views onto someone so that your idiosyncrasies are the homogenized norm? Have you not come to the realizations that swear words are generally a sign of frustration? Are you not frustrated? If we can understand that the mourning process is never a universal template, what makes you believe that frustration isn’t the same?



“Look slavery and hatred is going to exists from now until the comet comes and kills us all. And I also said that they are part of the problem if all they are going to do is yell and scream how evil whitey is. Until they came up with positive solutions for racism besides demanding shit that is completely impossible to do now, Maybe we can work together but until they get off their poor me poor me shit. Oh and by the way if you for get the governor of New Orleans was a nigger. not a whitey.”



Since this person is having some race issues, maybe we need to introduce them to the person in my next example:



“Nubie the attitudes of "we are owed" is the biggest factor in why white people dislike blacks so much...its the attitude not the skin color.
Blacks with this...your ancestors made us slaves bullshit! God people get over it! It was hundreds of years ago, and its long gone and dead!
If you all would just settle down on this shit, and get over this hatred you have of whites over it, it would go a long way toward solving the problems between the races.
Also society dont make racists...I blame alot of that on the blacks themselves...
Hell Nubie I dont apologize for my racial slurs...since moving to the south Ive come to truly dislike arrogant blacks...and in my view there are two types of blacks, the decent law abiding ones who work hard and do right by their kids and country, and the arrogant assholes who cry about how they were mistreated and now owed due to that.
do you think Im denying that? NO I made racial slurs all the time...especially to people like you with your uppity Im someone special bullshit, when all you are is an arrogant uppity bitch who unfortunately for your race shares the same skin color...
But Im on to ya now, my little nubikins...your nothing more then a nigger with an attitude. And yes I know exactly what that word means to you, remember you explained it to me.”

Now for just one minute; ask yourself…do we want that type of believe at the table?


I do. I want it all out on the table! I want every comment, every belief, and every doctrine right out in the forefront! Let’s talk it over and for God sakes listen!


But let’s start with the premise of truth.






POLITICS ARE OUR LIVES!






WE NEED EACH OTHER!


And one that many may not know, understands, or accepts…


POLITICS IS ABOUT MONEY!


I just wonder…how much of your present day belief will keep us from moving into the future because you are stuck in the past?

I agree with my brother and that is why I post comments on his blog.

I am not a dark person, I am light in color, more light than white.

I need my brother and I want his opinion, because it is real food not fodder.

We want your opinion as well, but we wish it seasoned with kindness towards all.

There is a point in trying to make a point that meets with disrespect.

This is the pivotal moment we really need to join hands and hold on to one another as the centrifugal forces tend to segregate us and send us apart from the other at a distance detrimental or harmful to harmony.

This is why you must not quiet or quit your blog. It is my gravity that keeps many like us from losing grips with our fellow.

Keep with this brother and his blog and you keep with all of us who are our brother's keeper.
