COLOR OF SKIN - WHAT CAN WE DO INDIVIUALLY IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY TO HELP BEAT RACISM?

Education has been described as “the most powerful tool” in the fight against prejudice. The right education can, for example, expose the root causes of prejudice, enable us to examine our own attitudes more objectively, and help us deal wisely with prejudice when we are victims.


THIS VIDEO LOOK AT PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT RACES IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. CAN YOU MAKE ROOM IN YOUR LIFE TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE OF A DIFFERENT RACE? CAN YOU ACCEPT IN YOUR LIFE AND HEART THAT THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU WHETHER AT SCHOOL, WORK, NEIGHBORHOOD OR ANOTHER COUNTRY IS RELATED TO YOU AS PART OF THE HUMAN FAMILY.

FATHERS - NOT IN THE LIFE OF THE FAMILY

Fathers! Not In Their Child Life
Many, many problems happen in a child’s life
Father’s absence (generally) brings much of the pain and strife.
Far more than material things, to ones children, the love, time, attention, given to them
You Fathers who have children, how often do you show
How often, do you tell them, you are very proud of them?


Some fathers never spend precious time with their little ones, giving them the tools for everyday life
Performance in school is poor, your children never see their dad at the school door.
Children enjoy attention from their mom, but need mental and emotional support from Dad
When fathers do not show their children they are proud of them, oh how sad.

To be a fly on the wall, seeing you lay next to momma to conceive me
To hear you say with strong conviction, you will care for thee.
But to spend time, care, love, and discipline you did not do
How often, how often did you show your children you were proud of them too?

Your God given responsibility as a man is to be in the life of your children, from their start
So that they grow up enjoying making right decisions, with a good heart.
Within you fathers, you have the tools that only you can teach
Because your children enjoy walking in your shadows, so they can reap.

Many things are hard to do in life, fathers being there for your children, all the days of their life
Some mothers refuse to let fathers meet the needs of their children, perhaps a bad wife?
But you fathers and mothers remember, Devastation and pain have long lasting consequences in your child life
Hurry to your senses, children need to be shown that their fathers are proud of them in their life.

But fathers of today are not completely to blame, because their fathers and fathers, fathers never broke the chain.
So fathers of today carry much shame, continuing to play the same game.
It’s all so sad to see that our fathers who were children too, never were free
Many of our children of today have given up, because of past fathers who allowed their own self to get messed up.

Fathers, you are your children role model, your children hear your words, but they imitate your actions
How often do you show that you are proud of them with much satisfaction?
They will listen more to what you are, than what you say
Do you want your children to be successful spiritually, mentally, and emotionally?
How often, oh how often, do you show you are proud of them, so they can be, truly free.

The Reason For This Poem

“Today we get the feeling that we are living . . . in the middle of a tornado, an unparalleled catastrophe.”—“La Repubblica” newspaper, Rome, Italy.

After the attack on New York and, in Washington DC, more people are not sure about the future of humanity.

THE news these days is hardly comforting. One person wrote: “Current events are so grim that we often can’t decide whether or not we dare watch the six o’clock news.” The world is filled with war, acts of terror, suffering, crime, and disease—evils that may soon affect us directly if they have not already.

This poem shows how some feel about humanity - Do You Feel Similiar?

The Reality About Sex - It's Not As Many Think

The Reality About Sex

Many have tried to enjoy sex because they feel it is their right,
Something they can do anytime of the day or night.
Others feel that they can have sex because it feels good,
Yet, the results of having sex leaves so many mentally misunderstood.


So many, love the way that sex feels they cannot stop,
Even when knowing the danger they continue to hop.
With no regard for the end result of engaging in different sex acts,
Many, so many go through life with sexual urges, looking for someone that will make contact.

One of the Kardashian sisters was talked into having sex as a teenager to please the man,
How sad for her, she quickly realized that he and any others were just a scam.
Many regret losing their virginity at a young age,
Because they have been robbed and used, they go through life not understanding, their rage.

How sad it is when someone takes your virginity away from you,
They don’t care that you now may look like a fool.
You go back to the boyfriend and say, “I just had your baby, and it’s a boy.”
Your boyfriend doesn’t care because he only used you as a toy.

Girls and boys who are very young don’t know their bodies, so they get talked into having sex,
Sometimes they have a child or two and realize that now their life is one big wreck.
You look at the children you have to raise alone and, you realize that what you did was not right,
You alone must bring up the children right but, now it’s a struggle, it’s a fight.

Sex was not meant to be engaged in irresponsibly
Whether you realize it or not, engaging in sex when you are not ready, there is a high fee
Sometimes it comes in the form of disease
Oh! How you wish you could turn back the hands of time, PLEASE!

But how do persons feel who stay a virgin until they marry?
They feel like the most expensive diamond in the world, pure, beautiful and rare,
The man or woman who acquires such a virgin, holds them and cherish them with delicate care.
Even if you are not a virgin, but you feel that sex is sacred for husband and wife then, you are a diamond, YES EXTRAORDINAIRE.

Why Do Geese Fly In V Formation - What Can We Learn Individually?

There is no creation on earth or in the universe (as we know it) that which is more unique than the human family. WE ARE A BEAUTIFUL RACE OF HUMAN BEING, MADE WITH SO MANY BEAUTIFUL COLORS.

We do come to the aid of one another during some kind of disaster, some problem beyond the control of a group or individual, We Are To Be Commended For This! 

But as unique as we all are, with the capacity to LOVE, to be GENEROUS, to WORK TOGETHER and, to HELP ONE ANOTHER, we must end up as a human family not admiring our own human race but admiring the many animal species, why? Because among the many different animals, you will see powerful displays of instinct wisdom, that is performed day after day, week after week, month after month and, year after year that, makes many of us humans part of a SAD race.

Enjoy the lessons: Thanks to Michael Pacitti for the video

Appreciating All In The Family

When you awake each morning, does seeing your family happily get you going? 
Regardless of the race of our family tree, we all have the responsibility to treat each family member with dignity.
Do you daily show appreciation for your family, or do you verbally and physically cause your family pain and misery?Look at the many families of humanity, and you will see fathers, mothers and children bordering insanity
Fathers you have the responsibility, to show first appreciation for the family
As the head of the house, do you put the interest of your wife and children ahead of your own life?Or are you more concerned with your own selfish desires, not standing up to what is required
The family is in confusion; this is why so many families are not a happy union

Women make excuses for their meanness each day; they always say, “We can’t help it we were made this way.”
This is an excuse, because it is easier to be uncaring and unkind, to be of no good use
Your children come home wanting to tell you about their day, but all you can say is “leave me alone and go play”
Do you (each day) speak the right words to your family as a mother, this allowing the family to feel a true mother’s protective cover?

Do you children feel that your family is first in your life, or do you enjoy adding to the pain, trouble and strife?
It’s not weak to speak kind words daily to your folks, even if many of your friends think it’s a joke
When was the last time you hugged your mom and dad very tight, or do you think that such actions are not right?
Spending quality time with your family doesn’t make you square, no, it allows others to see that you truly care.


Family members blame emotional, mental, physical, and material problems for their family quarrels, and some of this may be true
But to keep families from being distant, they need love, appreciation, encouragement and your assistance
Your home should be one of peace, allowing all to speak freely, emotionally
There should be no room for pain, anger, quarreling and fights, even if you think you are right


There is an element that exist today, it is bent on destroying (family) which was meant to stay
If you don’t believe, you, examine the family and you will see that which lost its dignity
In the most popular book given to man, there are instructions written by Gods own hand
If these instructions are followed by all, see! A HAPPY FAMILY
