The Agony (Short Story) - 12/9/2005 5:26:01 PM
SO many people think like you do on this topic Manes. But they have had so much stuffing knocked out of them, they no longer have the energy or ability to do anything about it. So many have lost so much and that includes hope.
Too many greedy uncaring people are at the top, just making each other rich and tapping each other's backs. As you say, the earth can't take all this abuse but what can we do as it all gets destroyed?
Very scary. But, thank you for writing about this dilemma.

What are some of the causes of conflict between whites and blacks in the US (Article) - 11/10/2005 7:51:57 AM
Thanks, for a well written article. I like that you said "some of the causes of conflict." You know your history, and seems you are coming from a healthy place. Thanks for sharing. Being a 73 year-old black woman I hear you and I hope the world is better because God let me be part of it. Love, Betty
What are some of the causes of conflict between whites and blacks in the US (Article) - 8/6/2005 10:11:19 AM
Being a white, I never gave blacks a second thought, and rarely saw them, but after my experiences turned out to be very negative, and after my dad was murdered by blacks, I have since taken it to be the Lord's way of indicating when we are in danger.
What are some of the causes of conflict between whites and blacks in the US (Article) - 8/5/2005 9:53:53 PM
Nicely written and very informative. I'm curious about your audience, and would love to see or hear your thoughts on where do we go from here and how do we address the average person on the street (the audience I deal with more often). My approach has been the first step has to be meeting at the heart, not the mind. For example, if I know Uncle Charles has a problem with anyone whose skin is darker than his, and Aunt Eloise turns into a pillar of salt if she hears the word lesbian, I'll try to invite a dark-skinned lesbian over the next time I have Uncle Charles and Aunt Eloise over. Often at my parties, the only thing my guests have had in common is that they all know me. I've found it's much harder for people to hate someone they know I love, especially after they've met that person and discovered they can't help but like him or her anyway. I believe we need to get people face-to-face, heart-to-heart, over a card table or dinner, sharing a 'real' conversation and learning that we're all the same at heart level. It works well for me in everyday life, but with an audience such as I believe your lecture is prepared for, I'm lost. I would love follow-up, to know how your well-prepared, educational approach is received. I would love for you to 'blow' my impression that education and empathy often don't come packaged together.
P.S. After reading Jennifer Butler's response, I see new questions to ponder. Since the only person who physically harmed me was a white, Christian male who drove a red van, does that mean I should 'take it' that white males are dangerous? Christian males? White males? Christians who drive red vehicles? Or does it have to be white, Christian males driving red vans? I'd hate to 'take' the wrong message.

So true. Your title 9-1-1 instead of 9/11 caught my attention. Any way you look at it, it certainly was an emergency call to the nation. We need to wake up and face the realities of this time in new ways.

Those who would disagree with this are voluntarily blindfolded and have their hands over their eyes, in my opinion. For too many, it is more important to "stick to your guns" than it is to hear and see and KNOW the truth or at least listen as well as talk. It is arrogant and nonproductive to think anyone is always entirely correct... BUT... I'm frightened by the growing evidence that too many don't mind being entirely wrong! Stubborn is when you don't want your sister to wear your shirt... NOT when people's lives and health care, etc. are at stake. 60% of this country's corporations/companies pay NO income tax... and we're letting them. Damn!
I'm FOR you. katy

The Im-morals of Our World (Poetry) - 1/15/2005 4:36:50 PM
Very well said! I applaud you for saying what is truth. Im-morality is more than what is the obvious sin, and isn't always dressed up in brazen outfits or wearing blood red lipstick, is not just the drug-dealer or the non-believer or smokey dens where liquor flows, it is often times, more often I believe, in our churches, at work through arrogant and manipulative leaders/politicians, alive in the greed and lack of compassion for the poor, alive in those who pass judgement and discriminate and horde and hide behind pressed suits and descent haircuts and polished shoes and well crafted speeches. Thanks for a great poem... made me think!
