No Love for the Children? When Some Black Mothers Go Off
You have heard the stories of mothers killing their own children. It seems in each story, no one noticed any signs or discovered anything a bit strange leading up to the incidents. But I personally believe that some family members and friends knew these mothers were unstable before the murders took place.
Having been around mothers and grandmothers who had the following issues: tough childbirths, challenging menstrual cycles and menopause, many children living in the home, a history of parenting siblings at young ages, and a negative attitude when it came to being around children, I could see why some new mothers and veteran ones got away with hurting children. These emotionally beaten mothers were too tired, impatient, broke, busted, disgusted, and more to care too much about what was going on with other mothers in the community. Some responded when told about a depressed daughter, post-partum relative, menopausal mother, etc., "That's her business...I got enough problems of my own. She wanted them d*mn kids, what did she expect? I ain't got no time to be watching someone else's kids!" One told me when I mentioned a past story about a mother murdering her kids, "That's so sad, some of these women need to close their legs...it don't make sense!" The keep-it-real type will not empathize about a troubled mother's state of mind. Some critics will not look at the fact that some relatives and friends have mental issues and may not know that they have them. How is Crazy supposed to take care of Crazy?
Sometimes the writing on the wall doesn't show up with some mothers and their children until years later. It isn't until something bad happens that folks will say things like, "I thought she was a little crazy. I wondered where the father was and why she had to do so much by herself...There was something not quite right with that one..." Well if one suspected all of this, then why didn't he or she bother to reach out and help? Why didn't the know-it-all witness make some phone calls and send some assistance to that address?
Not every child will keep their mouths closed about a mother's gradual mental and/or physical breakdown. Some will share details about what they see, hear, and feel concerning their mothers, but are relatives and friends really listening? Do they even care about what is happening or more concerned about how someone else's issues might inconvenience them? Some loved ones might confront the mother, yet the meeting turns from good to bad in an instant, because quite frankly there are those black folks that just don't know how to be loving and kind toward one another. They are quick-tempered, rude and insensitive. Therefore, much attention is placed on whether the atmosphere is clean, organized and children fed, meanwhile no one sees the crazed look in a mother's eye that can't take another day in a miserable relationship, parenting unruly children, and counting money that isn't there in an attempt to pay bills.
So how do you know when a mother is ready to go off and do something crazy? You have to be observant and listen to what she is saying about herself, children, partner, job, etc. If some are too busy running their mouths about what a mother should and shouldn't do, you will overlook the signs.
1. Did she use to keep the house clean but no longer does it?
2. Did she threaten to hurt herself, children or partner?
3. Does she own a gun or a weapon that she periodically talks about using but then covers up what she has said with statements like, "I'm just joking...You know I wouldn't hurt those kids or their daddy..."
4. Does she frequently leave young children home while she goes out to party, hang out over a friend's house, do drugs, shop, etc.?
5. Do you often get the feeling that something bad might happen?
6. Does she have bruises, scratches, bites, and other markings on her body?
7. Does she cry, complain, or curse often about her partner and/or children?
8. Do you find yourself having to keep secrets about bad things she has done to the children?
9. Is there someone in the home (other than the mother) that has a known track record of being verbally and physically abusive to the family? Has she said anything about paying this person back for all he/she has done?
10. Have you noticed how she handles her children or looks at them? Does it creep you out or make you feel uneasy?
Notice patterns in one's behavior before jumping to conclusions. Do your homework when it comes to personality disorders, known health issues, and other things that might run in the family. Never assume that children are safe when they are often crying, complaining about pain, clinging on to someone who is not the parent, and refusing to go home especially after they have gotten in trouble about something. Chances are there will be severe punishment awaiting them at home.
Take the time out to pay attention to those around you, pray for them and offer your service when you can. Sometimes the issue might be as small as helping a mother with a bill or as big as needing to be separated from children for awhile. But whatever the case, don't ignore the signs! Save not only a child's life, but mothers too!

What's Right with Being African American in the Community, Workplace?
Oftentimes we dissect ourselves in circles and mention much about what's wrong with us. However, there is a lot that is right with us and others benefit much from our strengths and weaknesses. Look around and you can see the impact that African Americans have made for decades from music to sports. Those, on the outside looking in on our circles, always find a way to monetarily benefit, get some kind of name recognition, and more. If we saw ourselves in the way that others saw us, then maybe many of us would be millionaires!
As we know, not every non-black has personal prejudices toward African Americans, but what some do have is a curiosity, a compassion, and a hunger for the truth. The kind of truth that wasn't given to them by parents and grandparents about blacks. "Why is it that black people say...Why do they react to...What is it about African Americans that they do...," these non-blacks ask us. Then some knowledgeable black person will try to answer the questions for the rest of us. Sometimes this works, but other times it doesn't since there really isn't a "one size fits all" kind of belief within the black community. Just when you think you know something, you don't know anything about black!
Being that we all come in different shades, we also come from different backgrounds, and have interesting views about us and others. But many of our people have been brainwashed through various media to prefer one issue over another, to act in ways that often keep us back rather than push us forward and eventually cause further harm to our self-esteem. Than God for those who wake the community up and say, "Don't you see what is happening? Do you see how they are using your own people against you? Do you see the sell-outs? Why do you want to be a part of that group?"
The goodness of being black is knowing that you can rise above almost anything! When you know your family history and the struggles they have undergone just trying to survive in communities, workplaces, families, and other places, you will say and do things that will make people re-evaluate their stereotypical mindset, "Wow, I didn't know you were as intelligent as you are. I didn't know you had that kind of skill. I thought that most blacks were..." What's right about being black is when we do what's right!
African Americans determined to come up higher for self first is something worth mentioning in this piece, because if there is no love for self, there is no love for community. These people are mentally strong, have big ideas, have coordinated the plans to get things done, and don't quit until they have made an evergreen impact. They are built to withstand opposition and fight to do what's right. Sometimes the only true enemy is the enemy of self! There are those who self-destruct because they are ill-equipped to handle the tasks presented before them while pretending to be something they are not. They have inflated egos and so there prideful ways cause them to get into much trouble with people who could have been great allies.
It doesn't take much to live a righteous life. If one leaves his or her negative past behind and chooses to live honestly while genuinely loving others, he or she will at least get his or her foot in a door that is divinely chosen for him or her. But if one wants to lie his or her way into establishments while using people, places and things to propel him or her in devious ways, then the individual will surely fall sooner or later. Sometimes doing wrong appears like it's doing right when in all actuality it is what it is--wrong. The twisting of truth and the support of misdeeds is what keeps the false teachers, preachers, mentors, and others in business. Meanwhile, deceivers make promises to help a handful at the expense of the majority. The so-called "favorites" have no clue in some of these well-established circles that they are merely snitches, servants, slaves, whores, errand boys, and more for the wolves in sheep's clothing.
In order for those to stay right or stay in the light, they must defend goodness. Stand up for truth! Have boundaries and know when to say, "I will not participate in this act...I am better than this. I know the God I serve and He wouldn't approve." Those black folks who have little concept on what it means to "get it together" or "get it right" most likely have been like pigs wallowing in mud for far too long. Simply put, step outside of the box, read any manual that tells you what the rules of the game are, and test those instructions based on how you would want to be treated. If it looks or feels wrong, keeps you up at night, makes you wish you should be doing something different, causes you to constantly watch your back, then you have to question, "Why I am putting myself through this? Is God really in this?" Chances are He's not.

Mama Didn't Raise No Fool - So Why Act Foolish?
Have you ever been around someone who claimed that, "Mama didn't raise no fool..." yet all that seems to come out of his or her mouth is foolish things? Today, I just wanted to share my observation on the foolishness I have seen over time in the black community from the bottom to the top!
Government staff
Whether serving in local, national or international government, how do some fools get some of these jobs? When it comes to organizing, contributing, coordinating, or coming up with strategic plans, why is it always some kind of unnecessary confusion that usually stems from pride with some black folks? The wealthy black man, with little or much education, thinks he knows it all so he is going to tell someone (who knows more than him) why something doesn't work, or worse steal ideas so as to appear like he knew all along. He might even go so far as to sell his brother out if he doesn't come begging for his job, willing to do a few things for him, and make other sacrifices that will ultimately make that manipulative black leader shine just a little brighter. So the one who thought he could fool others, eventually gets played like a fool because above him is an observant white man or woman watching the whole thing play out!
Teachers/Counselors
Why is it when an issue arises at the workplace, home, or church, some of our people act like they can't be taught anything or was never made aware of something. The teacher who was taught by someone over her doesn't know what is happening. The counselor is overlooked, because a group doesn't think it is wise or beneficial to get outside help and so on. When problems occur, someone needs to address them. With the right help, fires are put out quickly. But some black folks love fires, all kinds, it must be a generational thing--in the bloodline. If they aren't creating them, they are waiting for the non-black to put it out because some don't trust their own people, while watching and smoking their cares away!
Parents
I see far too much foolishness when it comes to parenting. When is it okay to teach any child nasty dances, nasty music, nasty lifestyle, nasty language, nasty jokes, nasty anything! The living conditions with some foolish people usually reflect all the nastiness, then they wonder why they just never feel at peace and why a child runs wild. You reap what you sow! It was all cute when the children were babies, now these kids turned adults are doing what, or are they fools behind glasses and expensive clothing and shoes? Ignore what the parents and grandparents say, see for yourself! Did Mama raise a fool?
Country
Foolish people are like the poor, they will be with us always! Try ridding yourself of them and sooner or later you will encounter another and another. The fact there is a day still being celebrated about foolishness or misleading behavior, shows just how immature our country is. As tempting as it might be to act a fool today or any day throughout the year, consider that many of our people have been acting a fool almost daily in media and elsewhere and are locked up and locked out as a result.
We don't need to wish the fool a happy day, rather we need to warn him or her, "Time is up for many. You might be one of them. Look around and notice your Creator's wrath is imminent. Do you know Jesus?"
There are many court jesters on television screens, Internet and elsewhere and many of these black men and women are being called out of a wicked kingdom doing sinful business into a righteous kingdom doing godly business. Are you one of them? Mama didn't raise no fool, but she prayed for one! God bless.

On Playing Dumb - When Some Blacks Fit the Stereotype
The eyes will light up with some of our people when they hear of the latest gossip about a celebrity, how many points a favorite athlete made in a game, and what might be the latest bling that will make the ladies and gentlemen's heads turn when they walk by. Meanwhile, others will just shake their heads, knowing full well that yet again the dumb down effect is working. "Aren't you concerned about anything else?" the discerning loved one asks his or her foolish relative. Not with some blacks, meaningless information and stuff is often more important than anything else.
Some blacks are in fact dumb enough to go along with just about anything. Those with more money, an increase in assets, and additional opportunities can only see themselves in the mirror. But as we all know, what goes up, must come down and this is why some blacks just aren't getting a break from mainstream media to the local neighborhood. There is indeed a dark spirit that is ever present with some blacks who just never learn. Prideful, argumentative, know-it-all blacks with a chip on their shoulders ignore wisdom, righteous living, and anything that is going to point out their ugly ways. This is why some get labeled by successful groups and individuals, "Hard to work with...Bad attitude...Keep away...Self-hating black...Sell-out...Black and ugly..." You get the point.
The lack of intelligence in some African-Americans tends to show up when under pressure. Some eyes start twitching, words get mixed up, there is some stammering and stuttering, and a whole lot of lying. Too dumb to shut up, the motor mouth black will keep going like an energizer rabbit. "I don't know anything...What had happened was...I didn't see nothin'...What you talkin about?" Like a Mexican pretending not to know English, an African American caught in a mess of drama will play dumb. This is often encouraged in the ghetto. "You know somethin'?" Yes, you might say. "Well then play dumb. Don't everyone need to know what you know, you hear?"
This play dumb act (rooted from slavery when the masters questioned their slaves) has been going on for centuries and because of the stupidity in this teaching is why many blacks are often held back in school, sit on the bench at sporting events, and can't get or keep a good black man or woman to save their lives! Dumb is viewed as cool. Smart is considered weak, dumb, stupid etc. When a non-black asks you a question, you are told by elders, "They don't need to know all your business."
Educated blacks are still purging out the mess left behind from previous generations who refused to pick up a book and actually enjoy reading it. Young children have to be reminded that books come first then play. The rebellious kids will fall out, argue, slam things, act like idiots when they are told to do homework. Some are often scolded for singing, rapping, dancing and acting like a fool at the wrong place and at the wrong time, thanks to foolish parents who glorify buffoonery. "Dance for mama, baby...go ahead...Rap...yeah shake that..." Many know how to shimmy and shake before they even know how to pick up a book!
It isn't any wonder that some non-blacks will criticize certain blacks for acting ghetto and why others will accuse their people for playing dumb. Just take a look around. Dumb is on TV, in the comment sections of web pages, hanging on a wall, driving down the street, or singing on a stage. I said it in the past, and I will say it again, "Come up higher!" Educate those you claim to love and remind them there is a time and place for all things. "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me." 1 Corinthians 13:11 (NIV).

Discerning The Wheat from the Chaff - African American Foolishness - A Wake Up Call
"He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire." -- Matthew 3:12
Stupid, Unfocused, Silly, Sensitive, and Ignorant were all welcome to the party when you were growing up. The host most likely didn't leave anyone out when you celebrated holidays with family and friends. You were expected to go along to get along. You were told, "That's your blood...your family...don't judge...He's good people...She loves you even if she acts crazy sometimes."
We have all been there, forcing ourselves to tolerate certain people. But today, when I looked around a stadium of white and brown people with blacks here and there, I realized all the more just how different we are even among our own culture and age groups. There is no one size fits all with African Americans and I no longer have a one size fits all tolerance for our people either no matter age, background, neighborhood, faith, gender, etc.
I recognize the God that many of us pray to (and for others they simply respect, but nothing more), is not happy when we welcome any and everybody into our circles just because we have similar skin tones or have some commonalities. Sure, we talk or minister to the lost, might even break bread sometimes, but many are not who we seek for counsel or ask to help with tasks. Some people are indeed chaff while others are wheat. The chaff are those that have little regard for wisdom, could care less about doing what is right, and have repeatedly looked for any and every excuse not to serve an Almighty God. These same individuals are open to a conversation about all things related to Satan, but not so much when it comes to the things of God. Talk about money, you got their attention. Share practical information on their future purchases, they are listening. Mention something about saving, investing, better ways to parent, the truth about dark celebrities, and similar eye-opening things and gradually you start to lose them. Bring some music, shocking photos beverages and food, and you might engage some of these people to listen again.
Time is quite honestly running out for the chaff, they are everywhere! From TV to that relative who puts up a fight any and every time any form of truth is being mentioned, God is indeed separating the wheat and the chaff. Unrighteous relationships that have gone on whether in or out of the church are coming to a close. Wicked people who worked closely and did much evil together will have their share of fall-outs until someone will say, "I can't take this anymore." Others will cry out loud for the first time in years to the Great I Am after years of running from Him, because they just can't take the pain, stress, and lies anymore. Oh, the days of trial are coming from the head on down in many of these so-called "black groups" and "black relationships."
Enjoy these good times of television and Internet for now, those ungodly celebrations, and whispering about the evil that men and women do, soon there will be a massive conviction of those who God has called to Him--the chaff will be separated from the wheat!
