     Fifty years after the assassination of  Dr.Martin Luther King, his message of hope and love are still ringing from Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. It was there that Dr.King  gave his captivating speech " I Have A Dream" and vastly changed the landscape of America and the world at large. Dr. Kings message of equality and social progressiveness didn't start with  his famous speech surrounded by thousands in Washington, it started with his love for the Lord. He accepted the call to activism in the 1950's when he decided to take the message of faith and spread love and awareness to social injustices, targeted heavily towards segregation and racial inequality.

     Dr. King was a pillar in the Civil Rights movement, leading anti-violent marches and pro-testing inequalities for those who felt unheard. Although the vast majority of oppression and segregation was targeted towards people of color. Martin Luther King would not marginalize anyone, he was inclusive of all people and accepted them into his mission.  Tragically, Dr.Kings work was cut short on April 4, 1968 when he was fatally shot in Memphis, Tennessee and  nearly five decades later He is being praised as the most prolific Civil Rights forerunner of all time, to which we can credit the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to Dr. King for his unyielding to a bias system against African Americans and minorities.

   One can only wonder if Dr. King were still alive today, what advice what he give to us today regarding race relations and social and economical inequalities? What would he have to say about a president whose rhetoric on race relations was offensive and xenophobic? Would He be apart of the "Me Too" movement, would He protest a Muslim ban shrouded by a national security theory? Because of his powerful legacy of faith, hope and love the resounding answer to all those questions is equality for all! Thank you Dr.King for your passion, integrity and your service for a cause you believed in and I also believe in.

Thank you,

Trump The Emperor God?

                                                          President Trump reversed his Executive "No Tolerance" order on immigrants crossing the border on last week. The reversal comes on the heels over an outrage across the Country of people expressing their disapproval of the separation of children from their parents while crossing the border. President Trump touted the idea that this was the Democrats fault and that they needed to fix it, both He and his surrogates were on several news media outlets saying that Congress needed to do their job. While many on the left are use to President Trump diverting from responsibility, it seems that the Country called out Trump on his lies this time. The American people seem to be unanimous on the reunifying children with parents, however it does seem to open up some new compartments regarding...

Scared of Interracial DATING???

-
Image
          Starting a conversation about race is not always the easiest thing to do. Recently, one of my friends told me that they had to deal with something that had been extremely challenging for them. Telling his mom that  he was in love with a white woman, he is black by the way.  To clarify, his mom is not racist and has never exhibited any of those behaviors. However, she has intimated that she might be a little disappointed if he did bring home a woman who was not black. It wasn’t what she said exactly, it was more of what she didn’t say. For the record, his mom is a woman of many words to contextualize this, her silence when jokingly asked about her son dating a white girl hypothetically was louder than her speaking. I remember ease dropping on a conversation between her and his dad and she jokingly said “he could even bring home a white girl” but then she said, “let me not say that too loud”. It was obvious to me then that his mom felt ...

When Women Rape Men

       It might come to no surprise, but the idea of  men being raped by women is heavily disputed and even heavily debunked. I believe the scenario people cannot get pass is "how could a big strong man, be raped by a woman?"  Just to be clear, all of the definitions of  rape exclude men in gender, but not with regard to consent. Consent is an important factor when determining if a man can be raped by a woman, after all there are variables that could put a man in a precarious situation to be sexually assaulted. According to the law, only a man can commit rape (as the penetration has to be with a penis). I would argue what if he is under the influence, or in an incapacitated state of mind and the woman sexually assaults him to penetration, if he does not consent, why isn't that rape? What if she used her mouth?     If penetration denotes the rape by forceful penetration of the penis then the law...
