Relevant Information.





During these days, it is always important to love the African Diaspora. I remember many years ago of having a dream to learn more about the black African Diaspora and about my ancestors in general. Today, I know not only tons of information about my ancestors. I have a greater appreciation of the Diaspora. There are black people in Latin America, Europe, Africa, and in other places of the world who are righting the good fight. There are always those who want to minimize the issue of racial oppression or put their heads in the sand. Yet, I reject that path. It is always our responsibility to fight for right and to acknowledge that the journey for freedom is not insignificant. It is vital part of our existence in general. When you see suffering in poorer neighborhood, when you see the suffering of our Sisters, and when you understand the injustices inflicted on our Brothers, then you recognize that black lives always matter.  Souls are valuable, and we honor the power of the Most High God. One truth in life is to constantly learn. We have to gain wisdom no matter the age which we are in. We are all in this together. For example, most African Americans are descendants of West and Central African people. Many people from across the Diaspora contributed heavily in the anti-slavery, civil rights, and other pro-freedom movements spanning history. Our intention is always to believe in health care for all, an end to police brutality, promote justice for black people, end colorism, and maintain integrity in our world. In order to be a free, you have to love truth and the defend the rights of human beings.


I am disappointed by Terry Crews saying words that minimize the racism that Gabrielle Union has suffered. We stand with her. The sad thing is that many of us black people tried to give Terry Crews the benefit of the doubt. We deplore the abuse that Terry suffered at the hands of a coward, but his recent comments should be called out as wrong and disgraceful. The irony is that Gabrielle Union defended Terry Crews at first. Terry Crews said that the only woman that he must please is his wife. This has nothing to do with Terry's wife. This has to do with the obligation of any black man and any black person in general to defend the human rights plus the human dignity of any black woman like Gabrielle Union period. That is our job. Crews is also wrong, because men including women ought to speak out against sexism. It takes a real coward to hide behind his wife as an excuse to justify his abhorrent views. Crews refusal to stand with Gabrielle Union, who is a victim of sexism and racism, outlines what we need to know. I will never follow Terry Crews' views or tactics. Terry needs to stop his tap dancing. The major point is that our eyes is on the prize of black liberation.

The quarantine of Wuhan during the aftermath of the coronavrius outbreak should be taken seriously. Wuhan is a metropolis of 11 million people. New viruses have evolved over years. Many doctors and nurses plus other medical experts are forced to work around the clock in order for them to save lives. Public transportation has been suspended in Wuhan. There are about 4,494 cases in China and 106 deaths. Many nations have it outside of China in 14 nations. Guan Yi said that the Wuhan outbreak is 10 times larger than the SARS outbreak back in 2003. Guan Yi is one of China's leading virologists. Health care infrastructure suffers by economic disruptions, illness, social inequality, economic inequality, etc. The CDC is doing their best to educate the public. You have to have international cooperation to comeback global pandemics, climate change, other ecological disasters, and wars.


The long impeachment trial continues into a new phrase. The Trump legal team wraps up their case in trying to defend Trump. They claim that impeachment is not warraned and that even if Trump did evil acts as its relates to Ukraine, he still shouldn't be impeached. This is desperate, because Trump now is impeached. The House has every right to impeach any President who is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. Trump has been caught trying to benefit his election chances by withholding economic funds from Ukraine. Now, people want to talk about the Bolton book, and questions will be asked to the prosecution and the defense starting tomorrow. The Democrats want Bolton to testify as a witness in the Senate.

Bolton is the infamous war hawk who not only promoted the Iraq War, but he wants regime change in Iran. Senate Republican leaders have been opposing allowing more witnesses to testify like White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney. The irony is that many Democrats haven't promoted impeachment against Trump for his crimes against immigrants, his attacks on democratic rights, or his violation of international law (like assassinating a governmental leader in Iraq). Bolton is born in the anticommunism of the American far right. He knows that his warmongering is controversial. Kenneth Starr and Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz are wrong to say that a President can only be impeached for a criminal act, and it was unconstitutional for a President to be impeached for abuse of power. We shall wee what the future holds.
