The Individual, Calm Hill

James Brown is one that motivated me as a young
man singing “Say It Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud”
and still is a treasure today.

When You grow up as I did without a earthly Dad
since 12 years old you learn that God really is
Our Father and he is a Father to the fatherless.

You need postive examples that God did supply like
also Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., my own elder
brother Dr. Willie H. Ross, Sr., Muhammad Ali.

Raised on Social Security if You can image then
You know that President John F. Kennedy and
Senator Robert F. Kennedy and many more means
much to me. Yes by the grace of God Almighty
we graduated Paul Quinn College, became a
Fire Fighter In Houston, Texas for 28 years.

I really don’t understand how any human being
can have hatred of another. Being a Fire Fighter
showed me some other valuable lessons about
life and other people are more important than
myself. Yes the bell rings loud. Let’s Roll!

Been practicing learning how to use the internet
Our God allowed in creation for the Word of Life
for seven years now to give glory to God Our Father.

I don’t know everything, but I trust
that Our Lord will supply. Kind Regards!

The walk tall advice is so important. I come in contact with too many YBPs who take pride in the fact that “they look white” if you just look at their resume (i.e. their name, no involvement in black orgs, etc.). I understand the need to convince an employer that you can do the job given how people of color are discriminated against in hiring decisions, but your ethnicity – and everything else that makes you, you – is an asset and should be used as such, not hidden. It could be the advantage you need to succeed. At the risk of sounding crass, shake whatcho mama gave ya!

And yes, my mother kinda taught me these concepts. I’m glad she did.

It’s funny, some people find my blog by typing in questions like, “Why are black people so loud?”

But every opportunity to teach is good…
