I also read Black Women Blow the Trumpet. Lisa’s posts are very provocative. I plan to drop by some of these other bloggers you’ve mentioned that I don’t know.

Some people have it together and some do not, it spans race and gender.

I was in Maryland with a friend, we were walking and a person was pushing a stroller, the child was crying and the parent said to the child…”oh its all in your head”?

My friend and I both laughed, it was funny.

I do not constantly think about gender and race, I like to be myself with everyone, however sometimes people that I deal with are to me too much into gender and race, even orientation becomes too much of a person central identity.

The internet is not all reality, saying a person needs a real name is validating the lowest level of behavior, fear of punishment. Wanting to know more about a person to validate their opinion demonstrates a lack of individual knowledge. There is primary and secondary information, today we need to separate real intellect from conjecture.

I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and I am for sure not alone, but what I will not do is lower my standards, that’s not race that that’s class. Its not related to how much money you have or were you where educated or how you earn your daily bread.

In the big picture we all need score cards, something that accurately records who we are and what we have attained. People force people into boxes, it can be as simple as a zip code or as ignorant as a web browsers history. This type or that type…and how can we get money from them.

Some things that need to be addressed, as the population grows, then efficiency replaces profit, the end of an era, do not deliberate too long.

Twenty percent of the population see the big picture, the problems occur when the other eighty percent get control, things get very confusing and people get frustrated. They undermine people, they discredit them. If I consistently score in the ninety percentile and then all of sudden I score in the fifty percentile, then what is it me or is it the test?

What we all need to do is avoid being sophomoric, I can not count the number of times I have had to listen to people explain things to me that are not even correct. Consider if you are in the foothills or at the summit. Keep in mind that some get jealous when you climb fast and steady, others look on in admiration it takes time to see the real person you cannot read a book by its cover, its not race and gender. Many people fall into the traps that society lays out.

Its a conscious, its the person that is trying to be the best that they can be and looking for the same in others, see past the groupings or all you will get is disappointed and or betrayed

Wampum.

I’m not sure if Michelle still blogs (Eric does for sure), but Wampum would be inclusive of a First Nation and a female blogger.

And, lo and behold, I believe the Williams are currently in Ohio to boot!

Asante sana for taking time to do this!

peace, Villager
