Family Bond Paper™

It is a fact that a majority of African-Americans have this untruth that their racial duty and responsibility is to be strictly defined as "workers" of our many occupations, or "receivers" of anything that is left, that is second best.  They feel some sense of duty or honor with being a part of this unlabeled working order in America. They love seeing such identifiable images as entertainment (as though it identifies the identity of all blacks). Any other image on the screen isn't being black enough, seems to be a false sense of social reality, or simply doesn't bring in the big rating numbers. What images do you immediately notice, when you look around your community? White leaders (business, entertainment):"Well, if you don't mind  ... It works for us." [Hell yeah! Cool.] Even with the vast amount of people, globally, the reality is this form of making our world go around is no longer working for the white-race identity.  And when their e...

All throughout history, Africans have inspired other racial identities by their imaginative performance of retelling a real event or an imaginary story. Stories that you may have heard retold by an older family member can create a special family-bonding moment.  Unfortunately it does little to increase a child's reading ability, or your approval of having a passion of a good book. The Ritual of Reading Aloud Reading something together increases a passion of finding information out for self, whether it be for a hobby, school, or just for fun.  Children (or Adults) learn to read by being read to. Read books with and without pictures: without pictures increases one's imagination. Studies shows that early and good readers come from homes where reading is valued and experienced regularly.  The desire to read starts with being provided a comfortable environment to do so--at a pace set by the reader--and the reader's interest. Reading aloud to someone expands their worl...

January is Mentorship Month.  Our focus is on the subject of employees receiving benefits or perks other than a salary increase.  What are your needs, likes, and dislikes? Be creative, at your place of employment, when you see no monetary raise in sight. William Glassner, a psychiatrist and education consultant, implies that we all have the following needs--no matter race, gender, or identity: Survival (food, shelter, freedom from harm); Belonging (security, comfort, legitimate membership in group settings); Power (sense of importance, of stature, of being considered by others); Fun (having a good time, emotionally and intellectually); and, Freedom (to do by choice, self-direction, and responsibility). Unless we have the described needs, all such needs, met in unison then we only survive by human activities of personal or social chaos and dysfunction. So the next time that you're feeling some kind of way, you now know there is a reason why, right? One or mor...

One of those rights is to have a personal point of view. Explaining the way that you feel or describe your feelings causes you to be an independent thinker. A question like "What is the color of your skin?" evokes a diversity of conclusions.  One may simply refer to their skin color by their racial identity. Another may give a descriptive response by providing a specific shade of color to define their skin tone.. There is no right or wrong answer of one's view point, unless your in a structured classroom where actual facts have been provided. I try to get my audience to focus on self and your unique household. Or what is best for you and your external family. As your aspiring 2016 presidential nominee such mannerisms will continue, Tell me the needs of your family or your business. What do you think about current American challenges? Next, provide clear ideas of  how we should solve such issues? Or is there another way that we should review such issues? Just be...
