Someone “recently”  discussed with me… about  their life being in a “special education” class and the stigmas that came with it.  How did I deal with being what society called an exceptional” child?

I had to first dismantle when someone is “considered” dumb. This angers me…although I have seen the most educated act DUMB…Special Education is a name I hate!

Today they have renamed the classes with something a little more embracing and  welcoming! 

Special Education meant “Only”…THAT YOU LEARNED DIFFERENTLY.

That’s it!

I didn’t have to think hard about  being “exceptional”  because  this too came with stigmas… the challenges of being called exceptional or above average brought me PAIN.  I didn’t understand why and my parents were always going to war on what they knew was “special”.  I was the “golden child”but no one understood and recognize the torment I was in.

Often beauty  in our society can’t come with smarts! Our westernize society embraces…more beauty than brains if you ask me. Women are made into anything but strong roles. Many believe” girl power” is stripping down to entice sexually! Success seems to come women who show you their goods. Oprah Winfrey  broke the mold for women of color…She is smart and rich!

If you are smart you can’t be good looking. When you have the trifecta  working… Get Ready!

I was taught and trained on many different levels . You have ward of the monsters and maintain character from those who suffered with low self esteem and acceptance. Being too quiet was somehow considered more intimidated to others…so some tried it and failed at it… I was also a FIGHTER!

I then explained that the level of intellect starts at home…but  a lot of attacks came with it. So in one sense I am called smart… and in another I had to become a warrior!  I refused to beat up or running home. I had a reputation that will go toe to toe with you big or small. I had another concept about people bigger than me… I didn’t care… Bring one …you will get one was my “motto”.

I was little for my age and for the oddest reasons…when I was growing up the boys picked on me so I had to fight boys first  and  as I begin to blossom the females gave me HELL… they didn’t stand a chance… I definitely couldn’t stand girls. It came with too much cattiness and jealousy…If they started out my friends the jealousy would end the relationship once they realize I was true to me. Jealousy stirred even greater. When like today..I know how to do me and be myself!  Women are still trying to figure me out…because I refuse to share much! I saw deceptions in many  forms especially in people who mouths expressed one thing and their actions came down to deadly behaviors!

My guards stays up!

Being smart wasn’t an act… I loved to read and study this was apart of my upbringing. This is still my common practice today!  

My mother knew I was ”  exceptional and hyper” and she would buy me books and I would read them  ” ALL”QUICKLY…And she asked me questions to see what I “COMPREHENDED”…This means nothing if  you can’t understand what you read or think you  know or experienced!

I was reading college level in elementary… Learning was easy!!! I wanted to left alone… but there were teachers who challenged me to reveal how much I did know and come out of my shell. Well, coming out of my shell meant I had to bring my shield.  I knew this came with persecution. Being a nerd as one called in my day! I didn’t dumb down I learn to stop talking!  

Talking was the set up for me…when people realize how much I was well versed in many areas…It’s easy to say it’s a  trick or a fraud… I can’t agree! My mind soaks up information and its  a God-given gift to have WISDOM. This isn’t something I learned from school…I was born with it! You can be among the brightest and the smartest sometimes and because how they deal with adversity during these times … will bring wounds… and many wont exit!

Why?

When I learned that these attacks weren’t normal As ans adult pieces of the puzzle then came together.

You know you are destined to for a great legacy this builds the character in you to maintain the legacy. Many have legacies but they are based on lies and stepping on others!

The plan is greater than that… So, here  was a wisdom key God gave me…Everyone wont stand with you only those who can “SPOT” or discern the gifts he placed inside of me. Even when they cant understand they will stand will anyway!  Anyone else who tried feverishly to do harm sees the greatest potential! True beauty is really priceless…You dont have to pretend to be what you already are!

THIS PART OF HISTORY SERVES AS A REMINDER … THE SIN THAT MANY FAIL TO ADDRESS …RACISM

I can never watch the cruelty of others during the Civil Rights Movement without being moved to tears. THE BLOOD,SWEAT AND TEARS…OF OTHERS. I find it funny how everyone likes to express themselves but yet, prefer to be silent on hatred especially in this country. It’ s not popular when you  exposed the monsters of  prejudices and racism in the United States ever!

And what divinely angers me when I know people still believe that this part of history  is not important.  ISIS  has been coming for a while due to the seeds of hatred planted through ancestors  regardless of where it stems from. 

Everyone has these so-called “God found” answers about what sin is and how God is going to strike America with his judgment. I still ask…When will you talk about this ignorance of hatred based on prejudices and racial hatred? th (36)

I ready know that  race talking make people uncomfortable because it requires that you take a good look at the inner demons many possess. Oh yes, we have some fire and brimstone preachers, spitting scriptures and waiting for people to plunge into hell like it some kind of Lake Shore property endorsement…The truth is … racism is a sin and its wrong!

If you come from that generation that is still  calling folks “colored” and the N…word.  CHECK YOUR GOD METER… And don’t think for one moment people who claim to love God and so-called Christians still have a problem with dealing with others outside their racial schemes! The biggest lie you can tell yourself is that I have “blacks” in my family…or that one token friend of color outside your race. Many of you know exactly what is being said behind closed doors.  Some of you are still married to racism!

Yet, many have fail to address racism ugly heads. It’s no longer relevant and I say that is why “terrorism” is breaking this country apart. Oh yes, I can make the comparison. Isn’t it funny how we can point out the sins and say God’s judgment is on America but we never call RACISM… sinful.  This kind of hatred stems from a prejudice of some kind. 

Regardless of what has been done…people still can’t grasp the racial discrimination done upon others! There are others who still needs to take responsibility and own up to it…You got monsters!

The foundational truth about the messiness in this country is that it breeds more racial division more than ever. God knows President Obama seem to bring out the most racial hatred in this country…President Obama isn’t the real problem… race still matters in this country!th (37)

People we haven’t gotten that far will . It still is dismissed as one of those things. Lots of so call “preaching” about sin… but what about the history of racism. It existed in the bible. Moses and his dark wife…can we recount.  How can we talk about the plagues of this country without first addressing… the “better than the other” campaign?

It is so disturbing to know just looking at this monstrosity of hatred back in 1965… just to vote.

There are  many discriminatory practices that is more than  one kind of slavery, yet  in this country that still exists. 

 

 

 

SELMA WAS MORE THAN A “BLACK MOVIE”… IT WAS APART OF OUR HISTORY

pfleger-march-0304Everyone thanks Pastor Pfleger, who rented out two theaters for anyone to go see the movie “Selma” this weekend.  It was remarkably well put together and just in time  for the “The Dr. Martin Luther King” weekend celebrations. 

The movie” Selma” wasn’t  just a ” Hollywood” version of what someone thought or cosmetically  thrown history together.  Sorry, for those who criticizes that the movie did no justice… I disagree

1) It stirred up  another level of discomfort

2) It agitating those who always about talk and no-show

3) It reminded many people of the level of ignorance and sleep walking while rights are being taken away

4) Even for the critics it puts them back in the books of history that told the truth.

5)Selma  should have served as reminder  to the people who do this for the game of being posted up, or brownie points …People sacrificed and died that we can begin to make head weight through the challenges and frustration of discrimination of every kind! 

caf9c7e9576a6699e79ff7756331c9d32e080e98David  Oyelow,  is no stranger to great acting and his craft… An “Oscar” might be nice but cannot define gifts and talents of this kind in his artistry!  He is definitely on the map for a game changer in messiness of Hollywood!

Kudos to the entire cast who did a phenomenal job at bringing history to life…  and Producers Oprah Winfrey and Brad Pitt…. 

Lastly for the ignorant folks who rant about another so-called “black movie”… I really can’t dignify your ignorance with a response! No one can deny history…I have seen many movies with fine actors of every kind of  ethnic group… but I have never heard of  a “white, red, brown, or yellow movie”…  It’s time we take a better assessment of just how ignorant “you” are.  Afro Americans had to be soldiers in the time when people said that there was no war!  Careful, this is why movies like this should be made to remind us just how far we “haven’t  come!

Yet, again… THANKS PASTOR PFLEGER, GREAT JOB!
