There are enumerable benefits of Vitamin D in the world. Vitamin D is necessary for the betterment of our human health in general. Giving 20 minutes twice a week of sun is fine. Yet, getting the Vitamin D that we need is complicated in life. Vitamin D is not technically a vitamin. It is a pre-hormone that is created when the human skin is exposed to sunlight. It is the only human nutrient that is created from sunlight. This action is similar to the actions of a plant using the sun to execute photosynthesis. Vitamin D is related to Nature. It is a great immune system booster. It has been found to be protective against osteoporosis, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer, and other cancers. Vitamin D can improve the human mood, fight depression, improve memory, and increase problem solving abilities. Inadequate levels may contributes to the blues many people feel in the winter. It is wild that it has been estimated that 80-90 percent adults in North America are vitamin D deficient. Wearing too much sunscreen according to expert Deane Alban can cause Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D1 to Vitamin D5 are important. These are vitamin supplements. Also, we can get tested if we are Vitamin D deficient or not. There was a total injustice against Jerome Burdough who died in prison. When I read all of the words of the story, the more angry that I got. What kind of sick people would allow a man to die like this. This man was not even arrested over murder or any felonious crime. Even if he was, he still should not be treated in such a negligent, offensive fashion. Rikers Island prison officials involved in dealing with the care of Jerome Murdough ought to be ashamed of themselves. The late Brother's family have every right to sue. This incident confirms the constant disrespect of black human life that is expressed by the white racist power structure in society. It shows that we have to continue to fight for the human dignity of prisoners as the late Brother George Jackson advocated in his words and in his literature. The oppression against the poor, the homeless, and black people in this country has been disgraceful and abhorrent. That is why it is important for us to help the poor, the dispossessed, and the oppressed in life's road. The family are in our prayers. RIP Jerome Murdough.


Before any marriage, both men and women must create a fair plan on how to go about it. Both parties should go through even advisors and legal authorities as a means for a prenup to be fair among all parties involved. I am in favor of Black unity and the whole nine yards. Also, we have to be reminded that there is no shame in a man or a woman discussing about the serious matters related to marriage. Marriage is not a game. It deals with economic, emotional, and social realities that both people involved will have to deal with. Marriage is a voluntary decision. Some folks will not be married. For those who plan on getting married, they should get expert advice from not only relationship experts, but from those who were married for a long period of time. Those being married for decades (like my parents) can give invaluable wisdom to those who desire to get married as well. They have been through the storm and the rain. If someone wants to get married, then there has to be a real connection, there has to be friendship, and mutual appreciation for each others' similarities and differences. Doing what is right means that both parties involved would incorporate their aspirations and interests in a fair fashion. Subsequently, a true marriage involves sincerity and great mutual cooperation. Some in the younger generation want to give up on marriage so easily. Yet, sometimes, folks have to embrace patience in order to make things work effectively.



History is a great teacher. All of the human race’s ancestors been through a lot, so we can learn intrinsic, valuable lessons on how to live and about courage too (in our modern generation). Treating your neighbor as yourself regardless of color is an ancient, true, and stabilizing concept that all of us ought to embrace. That is the lesson that Sterling has failed to see. When folks do the right thing and exhibit the action of finding common solutions, then the overall components of our society is enhanced. It is immoral to disrespect others, because all of humanity is entitled pointedly to dignity and respect. For a long time, many folks see the power structure of the world. For the past 5 centuries, the one percent has executed policies that have grown economic inequality (as documented by various reports even in this year alone). Racism is a cancer and it deals with unjust power exhibited by some against certain human beings based upon irrational, ignorant notions on race. The system of white supremacy is opposed by us day in and day out. There are very strong Sisters and Brothers in the world too. Many scholars have defined racism as having the power base to oppress others too. Also, there is class oppression in the world. For the past 4 years, I have researched more heavily the issue of class oppression. The world is imperfect. There is violence everywhere and those who hate peace. The imperfections, the cruel character of some people, and the derelict, arrogant attitude of some should never be an excuse for us to be nihilistic or embrace evil. Yet, we can do something about it. Certainly, potent courage is rare today. Lebron have stood up from the beginning again the ignorant statements of Sterling. We have a long way to go to make society truly fair for minorities. We can also fight on. It isn’t just the NBA that must deal with this issue. It involves institutions from across the board. There is nothing wrong with having differences in a workplace. That can cause different ideals to flourish productively. Many of these ideals can make business improve or the occupation be more creative (humanity is made up of different people and diversity is the spice of light). Folks are correct to mention that any worker should never tolerate a hostile work environment all. Workers have the right to speak up about such matters and make their grievances known in a transparent fashion.


They should call it an unique form of PSTD instead of a "hood disease" which is immature. The problems in many inner cities are readily known. The shipping of jobs overseas, family dysfunction, economic inequalities, struggling schools, crime, and other ills have contributed to the problems found in communities nationwide. These problems are not limited to the inner city too. They exist everywhere. The most important thing is to figure out solutions in solving these complications. There is nothing wrong with encouraging stronger black families (so, mothers and fathers can raise their children in the right way. We need more strong parents, so our communities can be stronger). Yet, we have to do more than that. We have to address the social and economic inequalities in society too. There is a massive wage gap, a massive economic inequality gap, and a war on terror causing economic harm to our country. We need to end the war on terror, end the war on Drugs, end all unjust laws, end unfair tax breaks, etc. as a means to efficiently invest in our inner cities and the rest of American infrastructure. The growth of economic cooperatives in the USA (as represented in the recent Jackson Rising Movement found in Mississippi) can improve the lives of urban America too. We need economic justice and racial justice not just family development. There ought to be a revolutionary change in society. We should talk about the issues of QE, Africom, the Ukraine crisis, the Federal Reserve, net neutrality, petrodollars, and other vitally important issues. I have written about these issues here before. Also, some of these same experts are now saying that is condition doesn't expert, so we should use our discernment strongly.

First, real black men deserve dignity and respect. This story is specifically about black males. All human deserve dignity and respect too. Too many folks in society demonize black men with slander and disgraceful, false stereotyping. Black men are diverse, intelligent, and strong. I use the term black men not fake "males." There should be combination of methods for the further improvement of black men. Individual and collective actions ought to be taken to make our community stronger. We should treat our families with respect, never give up, mentor the youth, tell the youth that saying the N and other degrading language is immoral (and give reasons why such deeds are wrong). Any man has the right to join or work with independent organizations that are helping black males in general like academies, workshops, etc. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH COLLECTIVE ACTION EITHER. THERE IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS. We should never use racism as an excuse to give up or to harm others inappropriately. We should use racism as motivation for us to do better for ourselves and for our communities. We should publicly condemn injustice and stand up. There is nothing wrong with fatherhood. Fathers have every right to raise boys into real men. Men have every right to stand up (e.g. when we see something wrong, we have the right to speak up about it. We defend our people. Taking more of an proactive role in assisting kids, addressing economic disparities, and encouraging our people are necessities too. Condemning racism and discrimination is a legitimate action that folks can take as well) and not sit down in the midst of problems. Black men should be treated as men neither as commodities nor assets at all. We are men period. We are men. Dylan Teague McDonald is correct. Many black people make it a rite of passage to read the Autobiography of Malcolm X. Malcolm X expressed profound truths before and after his Hajj. He told the truth that black people have the right ot never be ashamed of their physical features that the CREATOR GAVE THEM. Our black heritage is beautiful. Malcolm X revolutionize cultural thinking about society and the white supremacist system. As he became older, he transformed. He became more progressive and realize that freedom loving peoples of the rights (including non-blacks) deserve liberation from the oppressor. He exposed the evil viciousness of white racism, but he told the truth about the great value of black human life. He defended black human personhood. He publicly states that all people deserve justice, equality, and freedom in 1964 and in 1965. He said that he will judge people on their character not on their color before he was assassinated. Many black men and black women have been inspired by Malcolm X. Malcolm X became more progressive and understood that society must have workers' rights and educational opportunities for women as a society to be a truly just society. He gives people strength and courage to continue in this struggle for liberation. He was friends with people of numerous backgrounds (like Abdul Rahman Babu, Yuri Kochiyama, Ossie Davis, etc.), and he stood up for Africa. He loved Africa. Bless Africa. Black people have every right to fight for justice and use Malcolm X's memory as a means for us to continue forward (in loving our friends, condemning the degradation of our Brothers and our Sisters, opposing crime in our communities, opposing capitalist exploitation of the world's resources, opposing police brutality, and supporting anti-imperialist efforts). We want the total liberation of black African peoples globally point blank period without exception. RIP Malcolm X.
