THERE IS NO PLACE FOR RACISM ANYWHERE IN THE 21st CENTURY

I continue to question the sensibility of those who claim there is no more RACISM (especially against people of African descent) in 2023. I just saw a video of a young Gymnast in IRELAND from early 2022 who was literally skipped from receiving a medal as if she did not exist. Several Caucasian kids before and after her were given medals, and she was skipped. You can see in the video how confused the little girl was .....as if "what did I do wrong?" Africans in the West have been asking this question for centuries, including in 2023.... what did Africans do wrong for them to be treated as if they are invisible.....

Those who coined "Black Life Matter" are not saying other lives don't matter. What they are asking is, "Why are we being treated as if our lives don't matter."

The only excuse of the lady is that it was an error - very convenient https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcJkuWOhFtM .... see the video yourself and see how it is almost impossible for this to happen without it being a deliberate act......

Those of us who work and live among predominantly Caucasians in the West live the reality of this every day... You are ignored, you are not supported, you are excluded - many, deliberately or through a pre-conceived mindset that shows up naturally to those perpetuating the behavior, and you are denied opportunity given to your Caucasian counterparts on a platter of gold. you are called inferior to your face, you are second-guessed many times when you show exceptional record - they attempt to attribute your success to others or make a concerted effort to dismiss, diffuse, or counter your success.....

Racism has no place in the current human dispensation. We all MUST choose to stamp out this evil. No one is born with hatred, you learn it.... we should continue to educate those perpetuating it or those abating it by denying it exists. It is a LOSE-LOSE strategy for any organization, community, or nation that allows it to reign...

  THE GREATEST ASSET EVER – LAND “Every time I make a movie, I buy a LAND” – Tiffany Haddish (Actress, Comedian, Singer, and Producer). If you do not know yet, I announce to you that the greatest asset that will give you an assured return, whose value hardly depreciates, is LANDED property . Reflect on the major wars going on right now in the world that are predicated on the issue of LAND. WHY? It is one of the GEM God endows humanity with that is finite in quantity. While the human population continues to increase, land area remains the same or is diminishing due to climate change. The Russia's war in Ukraine , the Gaza war , the DRC-M23 war/Rwanda , Sudan's civil war , the Cambodia–Thai war , herdsmen-farmers' violence in Nigeria and the Ethiopian civil war … all are predicated on access to land and what is in it – rare earth minerals . So, in 2026 , if you have the opportunity to invest in an asset, think about landed property.

WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO EXTREMELY GOOD PEOPLE

There is a saying in my language, Yoruba , that “Igi to ba to, kii pe n’gbo” – meaning, the good ones do not seem to last or live long. WHY? Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of John F Kennedy (The U.S. President who championed the civil rights movement to end discrimination; one of the greatest U.S. presidents ever) and daughter of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis , passed away today from cancer at a young age of 35. Like her grandfather and many others in the Kennedy family, she dedicated her life to changing the world. She was a passionate environmental journalist for the New York Times and wrote a book titled "Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have” in 2019 that won the Society of Environmental Journalists’ Rachel Carson Environment Book Award in 2020. Her life’s work sheds light on how individuals’ daily activities and choices exacerbate climate change issues . Tatiana Schlossberg's work focused on making complex environmental issue...
