Each of you, my good friends - spread all over the world - knows that I care too much - for anyone that enters my space - and I embrace them.
On this journey - we all have our destiny to achieve - from the very day we came to be - our first breath.
We know each of us is unique - try to achieve what our hearts tell us to do.
Wisdom is not given to all - nor do most who us who say we know a lot - lack common sense.
Common sense is a rare sense - given to those with a good heart and a mind that can discern.
With your heart in the right place - anyone can take others to a better place.
Indigenous people love Mother Earth - the words Mother Earth - do not come easy to those who worship - but fail to consider the role of nature with all its goodness.
If one is allowed to be surrounded by nature - nature will teach one the love one has to have for Mother Earth - and everything that is good and has a purpose.
This land we call today - the United States - was known better as Turtle Island.
The indigenous traveled for thousands of miles - visiting their relatives - trading - one gave the best one had - and took in return what was offered.
We know how much money is involved in contemporary trading - and the evil it brings into our world.
The indigenous barter system - is marveled to this day - and if you are fortunate to travel the world - as I have - each barter is a spiritual experience.
You give the best you have to offer - unconditionally - what you receive in return are blessings.
Many indigenous suffered trials and tribulation - greed.
There is no word in many indigenous languages for GREED.
Greed has ruined many religions - and to this day - many religions are responsible - for the mess left - colonization - invading and taking over nations without cause, invading countries to steal, maim, kill, and take over resources.
One has to visit the Vatican and see the wealth stolen from all over the world.
One had just to visit the British Museum and other museums - and witness the pillaging of artifacts and other valuable resources - shameless those who took whatever they wanted - and many times just because they wanted to.
Here in San Francisco, I once was taken to the basement to see - artifacts taken from the Polynesians. The De Young Museum.
Sacred to the Polynesians - but now on the shelf - laying there collecting dust - such are the deeds that cry to a higher-order for justice - the Great Spirit sees it all.
At the Presidio of San Francisco - there was a Museum - and there too, I saw - all sorts of artifacts taken from Native Americans - you could sense the pain and suffering - and when I mentioned this to the Curator - he was silenced.
He knew what I meant - and I knew what was right and wrong.
In Auckland, New Zealand - the Curator was kind to show me around - I saw one-of-a-kind artifacts. A mat made of grass - it looked as if it was made of silk.
The Maori are unique in most ways - the British had difficulty getting the Maori to work with the British. The Haka dance - is sufficient to send chills down one's spine.
Take a look at the meeting house of the Maori:
East Africa has many tribes - the Masai stand out - and will not permit anyone to change their customs. I have seen this and more myself.
Take a look at the Masia and how tall they are:
The Kikuyu leaders led a revolution - the Mau Mau movement - that spread worldwide.
I witnessed the situation and know what I am talking about.
The enslaved people that were brought to America - were brought by the British. The Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, and French - others too had a role to play - in the enslaved persons and indentured labor trade.
Most enslaved people did not practice their ancestors' religion when they were captured. Some enslaved people were Muslim - and we have empirical data about this fact.
The journey of most American blacks - who proclaim they came from the continent of Africa - is convoluted.
The main reason was - most had intercourse with the White enslavers - and embraced their religion.
Therin lies a painful but realistic journey - most American blacks - want to find their place in our society - and cannot - impeded by the KKK mentality that constantly practices blatant discrimination.
These recent Racial Equity movements - ordering others to practice - cultural competency and implicit biases - is a process that can be used to bring about change - however, the process is challenging - and defies the practicality of the situation at hand.
If the baseline concept is not fully comprehended - if there is no trust - nothing much will happen.
It is much like forgiving someone who has insulted you - or harmed you - the process is complicated and requires one to go over and above - the usual circumstances to overcome - and achieve the goal.
Here in the United States - my best American black friends were with me in the United States Army.
Our camaraderie was so unique that we bonded because of our environment and the trust and friendship we established.
To this day - after over 35 years - we are still bonded.
The above virtues may spell out - for those wanting to establish racial equity, narrowing the great divide. Loving and not hating, wisdom, fortitude, humility, sacrifice, truth, and respect - are some of the virtues I often write about and practice.
Here in San Francisco, some Blacks who want the taxpayers to fund " Racial Equity " somehow narrow the great divide.
Bring about peace without trust, humility, fortitude, tenacity, wisdom, consensus - no one should think - that they can do as they please - more when they are jailbirds, do not want to repent - and believe they can push us around.
San Francisco and its politicians are known nationwide as very corrupt. In Chicago, you have the button man - here you have the wheeling and dealing - scumbags that need to be brought to book.
Life is for the living - not the living dead. Aho.
