Western Education & Islamist Rule... Just My Thoughts

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-13809501
"The settler makes history and is conscious of making it. And because he constantly refers to the history of his mother country, he clearly indicates that he himself is the extension of that mother-country. Thus the history which he writes is not the history of the country which he plunders but the history of his own nation in regard to all that she skims off, all that she violates and starves.” Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth.  BBC News Excerpt: They still refuse to send their children to government-run "Western schools", a problem compounded by the ruling elite which does not see education as a priority.

Sista: Could it be, they simply do not see Western Education as a priority?  Could it be they are tired of European History telling the story of their existence?  Why are we told there was no history of us until Western civilization penned it? The kidnapping of these children, these 270 young girls, and the militant Islamist group holding them, (if this all be true) then this is just the tip of the iceberg, of all that ails Africa under European and now Asia Rule... Again (we are) Africa is in the public eye as savages and barbarians, making ruin of their own... I am sure this Islamist groups happening’s is a result of many past lessons, passed on by-way of Europe and Now Asia OCCUPYING AFRICA. EUROPEAN OCCUPATION DATES BACK AS FAR AS THE 1400's; maybe earlier- MINING NATURAL RESOURCES STRIPING AND RAPING THE ENTIRE CONTINENT OF IT'S RAW MATERIALS AND KILLING BY-WAY OF SICKNESS AND DISEASE: AIDS, HIV, ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT TUBERCULOUS AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING; WHO pray tell would desire Western Education after all of that; other than us Africans Born In America?

The Summer Of 1980 When Chucky Dale and David Became Heroes


The world has become so desensitized since I was 13. I recall the summer of 1980, this particular summer day was partly cloudy and somewhat breezy.   From two blocks away, Sound Town Music Record Store, blasted the lasts vinyl albums playing music hits dating from 1970-1980.  The music reverberated off the walls of the Catholic School as we snapped our finger, danced, talked, laughed and sang.  That summer three of our neighbors emerged as heroes; but listen how the story goes.  The front was grouped off by age, relations or friends, all of us Cindy, Co-Co, Wilda, Mary,  Kathy Rhodes, Me, Jo, and Sandra Owens’nhem from down the block and the Miller’s from across the alley were enjoying the tunes from Sound Town.. The music was so clear; one would think they were sitting right inside the record store.  Perhaps it was the breeze or maybe the music or possibly both which had us all out conversing and laughing and playing and joking. Whatever it was, we were outside enjoying ourselves.  Suddenly there was a full halt; the music became back ground sound as we heard a woman yelling, “STOP HIM! SOMEBODY STOP HIM!” 
At full sprint a young man comes running through the alley way between Mr. Brown’s house and the vacant lot next door to our house.  A young woman was directly behind him by 5 to 7 seconds and screaming, “STOP HIM! STOP HIM! HE TOOK MY PURSE!!!”   Lori Collins brothers Chucky and Dale and their live-in cousin David, leapt from the Collin’s front porch in full stride, passing the young woman, and capturing the young man on the church lawn, just before he reached the corner of Margaretta and Clarence, nearly a full block away.  From my understanding, the young woman was about to enter National’s Food Store, when the young man snatched her purse off her shoulders... I bet he never though, Sister Girl would become a track star wearing those 2 or 3 inch hills but Sister Girl could run, in addition I bet he never thought anyone would come to her aid; brother man received a rude awakening that day.  Truly our world has changed...  Thank U Michael, for the share, it amazes me the things which jog my memory.

Lesson Drawn From The Allegory Of Dry Bones: Ezekiel 37

[A]s I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. And when I beheld, lo, sinews and flesh came up upon them, and skin covered them head to toe: but there was no breath in them. Prophesy unto the winds, prophesy, "Come, breath, of the four winds and breathe into these here slain, that they may live." I prophesied, and breath came into them; those once mere dry bones now lived, and stood up; upon their feet, an exceeding great army. (KJV)  

Anyone who touches the life of another has the ability to breathe new life into those whom they touch, thus allowing them to live a more awakened life and stand on their own two feet.  Once awakened surely we will become and exceeding great army of Conscious folks entreating our fellow citizens with unadulterated LOVE, Peace & Liberty.

After Midnight A Broadway Play And My Universal Request To Fulfill My Bucket List...

It is said, to receive something different, one must be willing to do something different.  One must step beyond ones comfort zone, knowing all is well. So here I go:  One of the things on my Bucket List is a Broadway Play, therefore, I am placing a request out into the Universe via my Heart felt thoughts and the World Wide Web; I am mindful of Divine Energy the Source of ALL Creation, which we call GOD.   I trust my request is provided and I am thankful in advance.  Oh what is my request? Thank U for asking.  My request is to attend “After Midnight” a well-spoken of Broadway Show running from May through August 30 2014 in New York City, New York. I further request to be accompanied by A Kind Gentlemanly, Gentle and Generous Mature Man, for a weekend of laughter, dancing, dinner, the theater and witty conversations.  It is my request we have the time of our lives enjoying the companionship of one another and the atmosphere of New York City, New York, in the summer time.  As well, while there, I am looking forward to sitting down to a Manhattan Lunch with my Best Girlfriend from High School, Ms Stephanie Wallace …   
Final request, nothing last minute please. 

Thank U Kim Daniel aka SistaSistaSister

Sometimes we stumble;
Sometimes faith is betrayed;
Sometimes the mistakes we make
are the stones it takes, to build a pathway to the person we will be. Remember we are ever becoming.
(January 08, 2010)

Wisdom is the prerequisite of perfecting love,
Truth is the prerequisite of revealed wisdom,
If there is no truth, there is no perfecting love.
Seek truth, wisdom and love will follow.
(January 10, 2010)

"When I fall, whether I be friend or foe, stretch forth, help me, dust me off, and send me on my way in love." Yes, Love... The action that surpasses all understanding... The force, that creates forgiveness, in the mist of derision. The virtue, that gives all fallen souls the ability to journey on... and to the sender (the forgiver who's been wronged) the ability to heal, and also grow on.

Every Today was once a Tomorrow,
Every Tomorrow will become Today…
What will you do Today, to influence your Tomorrow?
(January 18, 2010)

Turn down the thermostat! Stop expelling valuable energy! Winterize your heart! Insulate the warmth of your spirit, and conserve yourself (your being) for those who acknowledge your wroth.

My thought for today is a reflection of something my mother always said, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and well meaning people, who never got around to proving the thoughts of their heart". (February 6, 2010)

What is adequate for one can be inadequate for another, time reveals what is. (February 17, 2010)

We are all more than we believe, if we merely believe.
(February 26, 2010)

To be unpredictable, for some is a challenge of intellect.
To be conventional, for some is deifying creativity.
To be absolutely unique, is a freedom we all seek, at various levels. (February 27, 2010)

We view photo's, we read blogs and status', we agree or disagree, we like or dislike, we study, examine and respond, based on our perceptions of what we believe is communicated and revealed, What you see is not always what you get.
There are times we should use our prudent minds, to take another look, there could be more than what meets the eye.

Things don't always End Well,
Yet its well they ended.

Women, we are always told, we talk to much, so men created Facebook, Texting & Twitter, to teach us to be direct and to the point. Please say it in 140 - 420 characters or less…

Selfishness will tax any relationship, and chronic selflessness taxes the individual.

Many of us read to locate, take note of, or memorize, that which has been taught unto us. Some of us study to gather information of that which is written, and has been taught unto us, with no intention of questioning its validity.
Others of us locate, take note of, memorize, gather information and are able to rightly divide the written and spoken word, which has been taught unto us, and there confirming or denying its validity. Wisdom is seeking beyond what is taught or understood, to affirm truth.
(March 29, 2010)

We are taught in childhood, not to question, our parents, our elders, and those deemed to have religious authority over us... We are not to lean to our own understandings, and if we find ourselves of another opinion, we are told it is the devil. Therefore withstanding our failure, our unwillingness, our fear to question, that which is questionable, we adhere to a belief passed down but never scrutinize by those we looked to for guidance. We pledge servitude to a belief we ourselves struggle to comprehend, and in so doing, we vaguely acknowledge the God-ness, the creative force within ourselves… (Greater is he that is within U than he that is in the world. (The world meaning, outside of U.)
(March 30, 2010)

Misery loves company, and hurt people hurt people. If folks fail to take the time needed to heal, they will always repeat the cycle of pain. I have found love means different things to different folks, so we must find our definition of love, and apply it as we await the arrival of that mate, whom shares the same definition of love as ourselves.
“Can two walk together, except they agree" Amos 3:3

Normal isn't fun....
Sanity has no adventure... and when U go crazy,
there are no valid excuses... I'm staying crazy...

Not every Hello is permanent,
and not every Goodbye forever...
time is the common denominator.

Allergies are like sucker punches,

There must be balance… as you will learn;
your success is no more superior than your greatest failure.

God always places the answer within us...
We must be still enough to hear, and wise enough to listen....

soap & water don't make U clean..
it just makes U washed...
so watch U'r deeds...
(May 27, 2010)

Love at first, second or third sight is possible.
For U determine the love u will give...
U determine the barriers or limitations U will set.
We don't love because we think others will love us,
We love because we so desire to do so,
Despite whether we are loved in return.
Love at first sight simply means I choose to love this person despite their willingness or lack thereof to love me back...
I will love without seeking a return...
I Love u because I can.

All Life's lessons can't be learned in a day,
so slow down and pace yourself,

It would seems at some point we should graduate
from believing to knowing...
Are U ready for your cap and gown?

One should not work to maintain faith,
If you’re working, you are working in fear,
For faith and knowing, just is.

One of the most amazing encounters is watching my thoughts manifest before my eyes...
I am grateful

Rummaging through the closets of my memory, I found U.
Just like old times, we laughed and smile, and joke for awhile, then the phone rang, and guest what, it was U... (September 29, 2010)
