A man's prayer for children...

May we, as a People, learn to cross the racial divide to protect, cherish and take care of each other's children. It is our sacred duty. It's what we needed as babies, and children. Those who didn't get it: so what? Change the circumstances, and abuse, and re-learn simplicity and kindness, and restore childhood within yourself. Without that spiritual work is there hope for any child in your life? These are the questions I direct to the millions of abused children who become adults somehow.

Innocence is a cherished commodity of intangibles. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

AMERICAN PASTIME: denial

The deep and long legacy of fears the Europeans carried with them to the Americas needs more attention than causes. Causes are worthwhile, but the strange nature of Western causes exacerbates the problems. The resistance to do what I call 'root work' supports the frantic efforts to undo established structures of thought centuries old to save animals, and habitat from the unchecked ravages of a beast that knows no bounds, respects nothing feminine, nor understands sacredness of land, or the language of animals and plants or the Earth, our Mother. Causes do not know how to bridge the gaps between four aspects of human beings. Causes are intellectual endeavors fueled by emotions, but ungoverned by spirit. The body of truth about dysfunctional relationships with all of Creation is the best way to describe funded causes to save this and to save that. It is a spiritual problem of disconnection, contempt, fears, and belief. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

BLACK MAN IN RESTRAINTS

HANGING

There is a saying white men were fond of telling each other in those days. "A man ain't a man 'til he's had a nigger." What they meant was sodomy. White men used to gang rape Black men before hanging and during torture. Today Americans like to pretend, and lying to oneself is applauded. There is a great deal of pressure and enormous criticism of Black American's attitude towards homosexuality. Given the history between whites and blacks colored by creative rapes upon men and women and children, and the way whites killed and tormented Native Americans, who were so much a part of many Negro families, the feigned alarm of gay activists disturbs the memories and scars of recent times in countless Black American families who’ve also lost men to the prison system.

There are words spoken by an Elder today that fits: "Start being honest with yourself about everything. Be honest about what’s right, as well as what needs to be changed. Be honest about what you want to achieve and who you want to become. Be honest with every aspect of your life, always. Because you are the one person you can forever count on. Search your soul, for the truth, so that you truly know who you are. Once you do, you’ll have a better understanding of where you are now and how you got here, and you’ll be better equipped to identify where you want to go and how to get there." - Juanita Ramos Corum

My father is right slavery is recent, and we are too close to those times to be flippant about the outcomes of those days. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (July 6, 2012)

SOMEONE'S DREAM COME TRUE

"...

perfection of a Black woman is an elusive characteristic, and open for debate, recollection, assertion of pride and dignity, and as empty a pursuit as the end of days for a male whore seeking marriage. Widening our circles of influence and power make for a much better time upon the Earth in one lifetime. Seeking perfection does not and cannot enhance character. It frustrates, and has none of the creative fire of the circle. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 

An Elder's Meditation

"Start being honest with yourself about everything. Be honest about what’s right, as well as what needs to be changed. Be honest about what you want to achieve and who you want to become. Be honest with every aspect of your life, always. Because you are the one person you can forever count on. Search your soul, for the truth, so that you truly know who you are. Once you do, you’ll have a better understanding of where you are now and how you got here, and you’ll be better equipped to identify where you want to go and how to get there." - Juanita Ramos Corum https://www.facebook.com/JuanitaRamosCorum 

WHITE TRASH black plans

patriot outfit of Liz Vassey

Redneck crackers will never find redemption from the well deserved rap they get for the things they have participated in from the rage and the rants of the recipients of their misguided sense of justice, and supremacy. They are as full of shit as any other group of people who don't own their own images. Black folks don't own their own images but rage we do against the system just enough to raise the roof off the sucka, but always falling short of the introspective sigh that pauses between rants and says, "I need to look within and re-adjust myself with Power and Clarity." We don't do that because we base our relationships upon conflict. This paradigm is reflected in our marriages, partnerships, and the way our children are not being raised. 

The fundamental clause in our contractual agreement as free people is not the same feature in the doctrine of the grandchildren of ex-slaves. The fundamental flaws of Black America blind us to the relationship of poverty of our soul with the poverty of the souls of crackers who are puppets to the same forces dictating our actions, reactions and commitment to failure, and conflict as the basis of love, relationships, marriage, and partnerships.

We declare equality with whites upon the piecemeal taste of freedom the Constitution gave us. Here we are slaves to the conditions of freedom every 25 years, and powerless to arise above and beyond the need to assimilate into the love of and the acceptance of white Americans. We are pitiful arguing and raging against poor white trash stances, and redneck assertions, and Southern White conservative positions ignorant of the 100 + years of their insidious plan to politically dominate US politics and influence American life restoring, at the least, a reign of terror upon people they enjoy subjugating here and abroad. It is an endless story we have the power to stop, and change with the creative edge we have... - Gregory E. Woods
