I was not going to do this but maybe there are some readers who look in on this site from time to time since I started it as sort of a collaboration with someone, but now I find myself keeping it up to date all the time. I think I have pulled some good information from all places here that People of Color should find interesting. If not let me know and I will do Better.

Remember, you can do this without leaving your real name, I did enable this function when I first started the blog. Not really sure if I even have any regular checker so let me know.

I would like to leave you with things to think about in this New Year. Also think about who said What.

Like:

No Black person goes about life seeing things as racist, but those of other races have no problem reminding them. -----Timsomor.

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.

Sometimes you must travel many miles on a road in order to finally realize you should not be on it.

------------------------------

Too prove a point to some people is fairly easy, but for others you actually have to pull a blade.

---Sindbad the Sailor

--------------------------------

Failure is not a single cataclysmic event. You dont fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement. repeated everyday.

--------------------------------

One of the greatest realizations I ever had in my life was when I came to the conclusion that I don't have to explain my actions to anyone.

---------------------------------


We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
Mother Teresa

There is not a shortage of black men. There is a shortage of black woman that have the ability to choose a good mate.

When the actor, Charlie Sheen, was asked why he paid money to Heidi Fleiss to have sex with one of her women, he said "I didn't pay money to have sex with a woman.  I paid for her to leave afterward."

  "If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well."

MLK

-----------------------------------

I was convicted and sent to prison not because I defrauded anyone, but because of the wicked enemies of my own race. I would not blame the few whites that contributed to my conviction, neither will I blame the Government. I blame the malicious and jealous Negros , who for the sake of money will sell their own mothers. My own Black people lied on me and I was sent to jail for 5 years. Our people are so wicked to themselves, and they are not satisfied until they are telling the enemies something about themselves-----MARCUS GARVEY

----------------------------------

Negros threw eggs at me, when I spoke in New York ---DR. KING

---------------------------------

Use every spare minute that you have reading. If you are going on a journey that would take you an hour, carry something with you to read for that hour, until you have reached that place. If you are sitting down waiting on someone, have something in your pocket to read until that person comes. Never waste time you should read at least one book a week, and by doing this after 5 years you would have read over 250 books. Then you would be considered a well read man or woman. There will be a great difference between you, and the person that has not read one book. You will be considered intelligent, and the other person will be considered ignorant. Never forget that intelligence rules the world, and ignorance carries the burden.-----MARCUS GARVEY

-----------------------------

Negros must be honest enough to admit that our standards do often fall short. One of the true signs of maturity is the ability to rise to the point of self criticism. Even when that criticism comes from whites, we must pick out elements of truth in them. Our crime rate is far too high, and our level of cleanliness is far too low. Too often we live above our means, and spend money on nonessentials. We fail to give to serious causes and organizations. We are often loud and boisterous, and spend far too much on drinks. Even the most poverty stricken among us can purchase a 10 cents bar of soap, and even the most uneducated among us can have high morals----DR. KING

----------------------------

When you realize that you’re wrong, admit it. Even if it is against yourself, when you know for sure that you’re wrong always admit it. Regardless of the consequences, admit the truth and apologize-----MALCOLM X

--------------------------

Blacks are 11% of the American population, and consume 40% of the Scotch Whisky imported to the U.S., and spend 72 million at the jewelry store, and when we come asking for Civil Rights donations Negros are just trying to make ends meet---DR. KING

--------------------------

Being white is not a skin color, it is an attitude. We have Negros who are as white as some white people. Being white is a Holier than thou attitude, it’s an arrogant attitude it’s not a skin color-----MALCOLM X

------------------------

The teacher thought I was stupid, couldn’t spell, couldn’t read, couldn’t do arithmetic, just stupid. Teachers were never interested in finding out that you couldn’t concentrate because you were hungry, and you hadn’t had any breakfast---DICK GREGORY

--------------------------


My father rejected personal gain, he was never out for money-----Malcolm X daughter, ILYASAH SHABAZZ
My father had 600 dollars to his name, on the day he was assassinated-----ILYASAH SHABAZZ


-------------------------

I claim to be no more than an average man, with less than average ability. Any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she makes the same effort----MAHATMA GANDHI

------------------------

All exploitation is based on cooperation, whether willing or forced. There would be no exploitation if people refused to obey the exploiter, but often we hug the chains that binds us---MAHATMA GANDHI
