To All God's Children,
-->White males, especially in our modern society, are unique in the sense that they are bound by many stereotypes that flatten them to a single identity. So white males are the most likely person to transcend labels and become fulfilled. Furthermore, I suppose white females transcend all labels except their femininity. They are the pinnacle of femininity so are free to love and be in love without constraints. Good for them, bad for the other raced women. Unfortunately in our society, if you are a single woman who is perceived as unloved then you are also perceived as having less value.
But love is not the only way a woman can draw value. I think a strong woman is one who isn’t afraid to show love, emotions and compassion for others. In our society we define strength as people who want to take control and run things. That’s why many people see Hillary Clinton as a strong woman. This is true, but also people like Florence Nightingale were strong women who had big hearts, sensitivity and a drive to save the less fortunate.

The Pursuit of Value
To All God's Children,
--> No matter what you do to convince someone who thinks poorly of you that you have worth, you’ll never be able to. It’s because we are all worthless. With that said, we seek things that establish our value – high status, nice clothes or an attractive mate. You’ll never convince someone that you’re worthwhile because you aren’t worth anything. This doesn’t entail that you are worthless either. You are what you are.

The Arrogant Animal, The Natural Disaster
To All God's Children,
-->“The arrogant animal” as one University of Iowa professor refers to humans because we believe we are unique and different from other animals. The assumption is that human beings are somehow separate from nature and better than other animals. Is it because we are self-aware and can invent things by use of our opposable thumbs? If anything we are a natural disaster.
If we say that mother nature creates tornadoes and hurricanes that ravage our cities and kill us then we are doing the same to mother nature. If she is considered a “natural disaster” because she can kill us and destroy our “civilization” then we are in turn also a natural disaster because we can cause things like global warming which is damaging the earth.
If you don’t believe in global warming then you must believe in the trees that are being cut down in mass proportions or at least the sudden increase in animal species that are going extinct. We are just as natural as a hurricane or a tornado and we cause a great deal of harm because of it.

Subhumanness of Black Women Funny? How dare you
To All God's Children,
--> So I was looking up the word subhuman and wanted to know if “subhumanness” was a real word or if there was a noun to describe the state of being subhuman. The first link in Google that popped up was “the subhumanness of black women is funny”. Great I thought. I didn’t read it. I was already in a bad mood and I didn’t feel like crying. Should I have sent them a long email cursing them out? Should I reported it to someone and see if they could take the blog or article down? No I’ll just leave it. If there’s one thing that I’ve figured out it’s that you can’t argue with a fool. A fool is not in the sense that I am so much smarter then the chump who wrote that article, but a fool as in a person who just does not see on the same eye level as me. I’m looking up while a fool looks down.

Men and Their Insecurities
To All God's Children,
-->The ones who are exceptionally insecure about their masculinity are incredibly narcissistic, are demeaning to women, and have self-esteem issues. I can speak from experience because I have a friend with a gay brother and he’s the “Golden Child” for his parents so they treat him like he’s made of gold. He’s incredibly pampered and I think some of his mannerisms are mistaken for being homosexual. I could imagine why he would have a complex though considering his brother is gay and according to him the family “f--k up” which I assume he doesn’t want to be.

I think men are more likely to be insecure about appearing gay. The ones who struggle with it become narcissistic trying to find evidence for why they are better than women or just different trying to improve their unstable self-esteem. Also, if you have low self-esteem and you think other people don’t like you according to self-fulfilling prophecy you will unleash bad attitudes and treatment from other people unto you. It’s funny that “men rule the world” and “men don’t cry” and all this BS about men being so much better than women over the ages. They turned us into whores and sex toys or housewives and basically slaves or emotional drama queens throwing the free thinking ones in insane asylums. After all that misogyny and men are the ones with the mental complex. They are afraid of another man getting to close behind them because they’re worried their sexual orientation will be compromised. It’s pathetic. That’s why God gave us the pain of childbirth because we’re tougher.
In my opinion, narcissism creates solipsism where the person thinks that others are an extension of their mind. A person did not exist until he (the solipsistic male) met her. It’s like Mark Twain and his family; whenever he came home, the wife and children all had to centered their lives and conversation around him. He is free to say and do what he wants to her because she is an extension of his mind and not a real person. The social roles of women have unfortunately adapted this narcissistic or solipsistic stance. Not only in the personal life (women are whores, wives or dykes if they don’t want men), but women are extension of males also in the workforce (women are nurses for doctors or secretary for a CEO). There are more women in the workforce than men. Great, that’s all we need. Historically and even now they rape, kill, abuse and virtually enslave us and now they want to stay at home with the kids. Men are still in higher leading positions while women toll away and bear the bunt of the work.
In this society with its stringent sex roles, I would say women are freer in terms of self-expression. Women can dress how they want, dance how they want and wear their hair however they want. It’s men who are trapped mentally and it may even be a jealousy of the “masculine” male that would drive one to mistreat a woman. I admire the men who come out of the closet but not just with sexual orientation, but the one’s who are willing to wear whatever and be whomever they want without degrading women. That’s freedom.

To My People, My Black People
What it do God's Children,
-->My Black people always inventing their own names like Lakeisha and Labria; why not just Keisha or Bria? As if these latter names sound better. It’s less “ignorant” some people say to have the name Mary or John. Is it ignorance or is it creativity that brought Blacks to want their own names? It’s a basic human quality that shouldn’t be suppressed or belittled. The "n-word" stands for ignorant person so it's a shame that the "i-word" has lingered in its description of Blacks along with that "n-word".
There’s this idea that listening to and living with the hip hop music as a way of life or a religion is somehow devil worship and that the only way to praise God or the wonders of the world is to praise Jesus through Christianity. Don’t believe it. This idea that dancing to the rhythm of the music is somehow evil or wrong is just giving into the old White Puritan beliefs.
Music is what connects us all especially all our Black people together. I remember once seeing a future Black doctor at Duke University cruising in his car with the speaker’s blaring. He was “straight up gangster” and it was something that you could commonly see among blacks in an urban neighborhood.
It’s not ignorance that makes us rap and rhyme with the music. It’s the brilliance of Black teenagers and the creativity of Black children that established rap as an art form. All the words that are put into the urban dictionary are not a sign of ignorance, but a symbol of brilliance. We have created an entire dictionary of new words that have become very influential in mainstream America.
It’s the sign of brilliance that has been suppressed by our society. Just because you cannot get an A in physics doesn’t mean you are dumb; it means you are a different kind of smart. We are not dumb people, it is not ignorant to be in harmony with what feels natural and music is what keeps us in harmony with ourselves, with the world, with God, if you believe, and with our ancestors who fought for out right to live freely.

Music is Living: Black People and the Music Stereotype
To All God's Children,
--> Schizophrenia is prevalent among African Americans and the textbooks say it’s because of some disorganized parenting styles and high stress lives. I think it’s also because people by nature, not just African Americans, want to enjoy life to the fullest. Like it states in Taoism, music, dancing, and singing is living and being in harmony with nature. Think of one culture that doesn’t have music or dance? The brilliant mind of some impoverished African Americans are being suppressed due to lack of environmental stimulation or resources to promote one’s natural talents and brilliance. In essence, I am saying that like the people of my family, this culture and lifestyle established by our White ancestors have literally driven African Americans crazy. And yes I claim Blacks and Whites in my ancestry because I am part African and Irish American.
It’s evaluated as somewhat condensing to Blacks that we are good dancers and musicians although it’s considered a positive stereotype, but it isn’t a bad thing. Music is life and people who are connected to music are living life to the fullest. They also have a problem with Black rappers because they feel they are undeserving of being in the upper class. Well, why does anyone deserve to be rich? It’s not about deserving it’s just something that happens to certain people. Most rich kids born into privilege are just going to keep right on trucking. They didn’t work for it. At least rappers have to say words in rhythm in order to get where they are – they do something it isn’t handed to them. If anyone should be yelled at for living off of handouts it’s the children of wealthy people.
-->
-->Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that for some, but can never say all, Blacks that being “smart” is being “uncool” and “White”. White man did not invent knowledge. To be intelligent does not mean being white or uncool. The Hip hop religion was born from rebellion against white men, but really it’s still a submission to their rules. Hooking any sort of negativity into music and dance is admitting that the Puritans were correct. Music and dance plus Satan worship is admitting that the Christian or Puritans are right and that there is a devil that opposes God. Music and dance can be positive. Holy hip hop is not the answer to breaking the negativity that stems from the hip hop religion or way of life. Let the children invent their own way of producing music. Why do we have to do it the “white man’s” way if you have a problem with it? Let the creativity of the children shine and allow a new way to find joy in life without self-degradation.
" 'Wouldn't you say Pooh?'
'Say what?' asked Pooh, opening his eyes.
'Music and Living.'
'The same thing," said Pooh"

What does it mean to be smart?
To All God's Children,
-->Poors, minorities and the underrepresented. Minorities, the underrepresented, and poors. I’m tried of these categories. There’s an obvious bias in careers based on race and gender. Certain races are more likely to be scientists, certain genders are more like to be nurses and school teachers and still a certain type of race and gender is more likely to be basketball players. I bet I can predict the races and genders that came to mind when you were reading the last sentenced. You probably thought white people (or white men in specific), women for the second, and black males for the final biased career.
I still say there’s nothing wrong with this. Okay, so many blacks end up in entertainment careers. So what? Why should we downplay a gift that we can give the world? Music, dance, and sport. If you ask me, after watching Lebron James dunk several baskets from the opposite side of the court I would say it takes some level of genius in order to do it.
Why is brilliance in science and math the only “real” smarts? I wish schools would reconsider making cuts to arts and music, and some even sports in an attempt to teach students math and science. Without proper exposure how is a student supposed to find their true calling?
As for the school systems and employers, it would be nice if employers respected HBCUs as much as state schools and other crappy traditional community colleges (not to say all community colleges are bad; there was one in my old neighborhood that had one of the top culinary schools in America). HBCUs are just as good and sometimes better then these other colleges they just aren’t getting the respect they deserve.
I wish people respected health related jobs more than they did. The “feminine” jobs in the health system have remained relatively stable while testosterone ran masulineconomic financial collapse of the seeming second Great Depression not only affects men but women.
The mainstream race think they are so smart and educated inventing all these things and ignore that their inventions cause just as much trouble as it helps. For example, hospitals have many great doctors, mostly White Americans. But what about the car accident victims that end up there frequently from the White people made vehicles that claim a substantial amount of lives?
What about the cancer stick or cigarettes that are produced by White people that send people to the hospitals for lung cancer? What about all this scientifically generated and carcinogenic enriched food that we eat that gives us cancer and sends us to the hospital? Our desire to scientifically develop a better world for White people by White people is the same as the masculine run economics taking the females down. Why for every “genius” invention of theirs is there a thousand other unfortunate things that result from it? What’s the point?
Who’s smarter - an Advanced or an Indigenous person? A person who tries to drastically improve his live, stresses himself out and ends up dying alone and broken in his old age from some shitty disease that didn’t exist thousands of years ago? Or a person who lives in tune with nature so the next generation will have a planet to live on? Again I beg of you to tell me who’s better off? Who is smarter?

Fall of America and Rise of the Rest
To All God's Children,
-->Like Johnny Depp said (and was eventually reprimanded for it) America is like a spoiled teenager in comparison to Europe. We really are. The alcohol consumption, irresponsibility of driving afterward, wasteful spending, and even our consumption of too much junk food all contribute to our childishness. I think this is why many say the economic crisis is the end of the American way of life – which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. As Fareed Zakaria put it: "This is not... the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else." It just means the American lifestyle is vanishing and a new way of life will emerge from China, India, or one of the many other countries with influence.

The Dependent Individuals
To All God's Children,
-->We can claim to be in an individualistic society where independence and self-reliance is the key to success and happiness - not when 80 percent of jobs are received through networking. When you really think about it, we all are so dependent on each other for everything. More primitive cultures all had to divide tasks among its villagers like hunting, gathering, cooking, sewing, and learning herbal medicines, just as examples.
Our society would collapse if each person tried to become totally independent of each other. One person growing up without a mother or father or anyone to take care of him or her would automatically grow up as one of those mute feral children. An adult in complete solitude would have to grow his own vegetables, raise his own livestock, sow her own clothes, cook her own meals and build her own house after chopping down her wood. Why do that when you can easily go to the store and get it from someone else.
From janitors to CEOs, every productive person in a complex society offers some sort of skill in order to make life comfortable for all of us. Without each other we would collapse. Individuality is an impossibility because we all need each other.
-->
People from individualistic countries such as most Western societies like America, wonder why they are so lonely, so depressed, and so stressed out; it’s because we’re not meant to walk this earth alone. We’re meant to have family, friends, children and neighbors without the concern of competition and money. This world we created is so unnatural and unforgiving it pangs me.

Culture Wars: The Quest for Knowledge Through Migration
To All God's Children,
-->
Why are there so many cultures and different beliefs? Is culture the spawn of disagreement? Say all of our ancestors started out inAfrica . Why did some of them eventually migrate into new territory like Northern Africa, East Asia, The Middle East, Europe and eventually the Americas
Although it may make some people upset, technically the Native Americas are not native to the Americas either. A lot of people have been angry for years that the Native American’s land was stolen from them by the English, but we forget that Native Americans are descendants of the Mongoloid peoples who crossed the land bridge across the Atlantic ocean and settled in the Americas. But why do you think they settled there in the first place? Because they weren’t satisfied with what Asia and Europe had to offer them and they wanted more.
I really think that’s why Europeans have revolutionized the world with their inventions and innovative concepts towards science and philosophy. They are the people who were the least satisfy with our origins stemming fromAfrica . They are the descendants of the people with the greatest cognitive disequilibrium who desired to keep migrating and learning more.
That doesn’t necessarily make them smarter, but it makes them more desperate to find truth and to find peace of mind. How many years were they wrong about the center of the universe until Copernicus came along; or the world is flat until Eratosthenes; or how many people since then it has taken to develop knowledge to where it is now. More than any other race of people, the Jews have given us some of the greatest thinkers and excavators of truth ever – period. Freud, Einstein, and Jesus are included.
However, we may have this “Great Person” theory of history, but it has taken the contributions of millions of driven and desperate people to come up with all that we know today and will know tomorrow. So in other words, the people you see today in America are the ones for whatever reason were the most desperate to find truth and freedom in the world, and the others that we still see in loin clothes in Africa or South America are descendants of the ones who were content with their limited but satisfying understanding of the world.
Who’s the smarter person? The one who wants to live in the warmth of the African or South American sun or the person who wants to fair against the cold and harsh Scandinavian countryside? That’s why they lost all their color trying to stay healthy in the brutal climate by absorbing as much sunlight as possible. Or I could be wrong. I wish there was a way to prove all this.
