2016 Souls To The Polls Will The IMA Make A Difference During The Next Election?

According to the Muscogee County Elections & Registration Office there will be three (3) opportunities for Sunday voting at the 311 Center during the 2016 election. The street committee strongly suggests that if the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance is serious about getting “Souls To The Polls”, they take these three Sundays to host community–wide services in the parking lot of the Library/311 Center and allow their parishioners the perfect time to vote during the services.

For those who think it would be too much of a distraction, think of it as no more than someone getting up to go to the bathroom during the service. Besides it will be worth it if we are able to “level the political playing field”. What better way to show our political strength? The street committee suggests you speak with your Pastor, Reverend, Bishop or Elder today.

The Street Committee Wants To Know?

After the last street committee post the people began calling and now they really do want to know the answers to the questions that were posed in the last issue. In their preparation for the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March; “Justice or Else”, scheduled for

The Street Committee

October 10, 2015 in Washington D.C. will the journey to the “Million More Man March” be a true “Black Experience”? For example; Will the buses they will travel on, to and from Washington D.C, be Black-owned and operated? When they stop to eat will they eat only at Black-owned restau-

rants or franchises? Will the gas they purchase be from black-owned and operated gas stations? And finally, but most important; will the hotel they stay in be Black-Owned? We hope that someone from the organizers will respond by our next issue.

A VIEW FROM A PEW The Price They Paid

py, but with mixed feelings and showed his hands to his son. The young man washed his hands, little by little. It was the first time that he noticed his father's hands were wrinkled and they had so many scars. Some bruises were so painful that his skin shuddered when he touched them.

This was the first time that the young man recognized what it meant for this pair of hands to work every day to be able to pay for his study.

The bruises on the hands were the price that he paid for his education, his school activities and his future.

After cleaning his father's hands the young man stood in silence and began to tidy and clean up the workshop.

That night, father and son talked for a long time.

No matter the great things achieved, we must not forget the hard work our parents and grandparents achieved so we could be so successful. I am thankful for my father and grandparents who worked hard to give me a better life and showed me how to work for what I have achieved in my life. The words below are not my own but there is a great lesson to be learned from them.

A young man went to seek an important position at a large printing company. He passed the initial interview and was going to meet the director for the final interview.

The director saw his resume, it was excellent, and he asked,

“Have you received a scholarship for school?” The boy replied, " No '.

“It was your father who paid for your studies?”

“Yes,” he replied.

“Where does your father work?”

“Never, my parents always wanted me not to help but wanted me to study and read more books. Besides, my father can do the job better than me.”

The director said: “I have got a request: When you go home today, go and wash the hands of your father and then come see me tomorrow morning.”

“My father is a Blacksmith” The Director asked the young man to show him his hands.

The young man showed a pair of hands soft and perfect.

“Have you ever helped your parents at their job?”

The young man felt his chance to get the job was high.

When he returned to his house he asked his father if he would allow him to wash his hands.

His father felt strange, hap-

The next morning, the young man went to the office of the director.

The Director noticed the tears in the eyes of the young man when He asked him: “Can you tell me what you did and what you learned yesterday at your house?”

The boy replied: “I washed my father's hands and when I finished I stayed and cleaned his workshop.”

“Now I know what it is to appreciate and recognize that without my parents, I would not be who I am today . By helping my father I now realize how difficult and hard it is to do something on my own. I have come to appreciate the importance and the

value in helping the family.”

The director said, "This is what I look for in my people. I want to hire someone who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the hardship of others to do things, and a person who does not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired” A child that has been coddled, protected and usually given what he wants, develops a mentality of " I have the right ' and will always put himself first, ignoring the efforts of their parents. If we are this type of protective parent are we really showing love or are we destroying our children?

You can give your child a big house, good food , computer classes , watch on a big screen TV . But when you're washing the floor or painting a wall, please let him experience that too.

After eating have them wash the dishes with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you have no money to hire someone to do this it's because you want to love them the right way. No matter how rich you are, you want them to understand. One day your hair will have gray hair, like the father of this young man.

The most important thing is that your child learns to appreciate the effort and to experience the difficulties and learn the ability to work with others to get things done. "

Opinion/Editorial

By Ben F. Chavis, Jr. NNPA Columnist

By George E. Curry NNPA Columnist Julian Bond: A Dedicated Life of Service It’s sad enough when a violent crime mesmerizes the nation – such as the murder of nine African Americans in a Charleston, S.C. church, a fleeing Walter L. Scott being fatally shot in the back by a North Charleston Patrolman Michael T. Slager, or two young, White journalists, Alison Parker and Adam Ward, gunned down on live television – but those tragedies are compounded by the media’s double standard.

Let’s begin with how the initial crime is reported.

How many times have we seen the graphic video of a uniformed Michael Slager in South Carolina remove his gun from his holster on April 4 and shoot 50-year-old Walter Scott as he was running away? With two huge trees in the foreground, we heard eight shots, four of them striking Scott in the back and one lodging in an ear.

Contrast that with the coverage of two promising White journalists in Roanoke, Va. Because it was what is called a live shot, we have even more graphic footage of their actual murders. The shooter also filmed his dastardly crime, later posting it on social media before committing suicide.

Did we see repeated clips of the two White journalists being murdered? No, we saw some freeze-frames just before the act. And when the New York Daily News published freeze-frame photographs of Alison Parker as she was shot, there was widespread condemnation.

USAToday reported, “The New York Daily News … published three still images from a video uploaded by suspected shooter Vester L. Flanagan II. The graphic images show reporter Alison Parker of WDBJ-TV seconds before she was shot up until the moment when it appears the first bullet hits her body.”

The newspaper reported, “Mike Drago, a commentary editor at the Dallas Morning News, called the The New York Daily News decision to post the stills ‘death porn,’ in an email to the Washington Post.”

An article by Leon Neyfakh on Slate.com observed, “By isolating the seconds before, during, and after Flanagan pulls the trigger, the Daily News is indulging

in – and prompting others to indulge in – a morbid fascination with what it’s like to kill someone.”

Social media was also ablaze with criticism of the Daily News and how the decision would bring further grief to the families.

Where was the concern for the family of Walter Scott in S.C.? Why was it okay to show him over and over in his dying seconds?

You could make arguments for and against the Daily News’ decision. But whatever the standard, it should be applied fairly.

The Los Angles Times came closest in pointing out this obvious double standard when it asked in a headline: “Are we afraid to watch white people dying?”

It noted, “Online, some are questioning the conversations that happen in newsrooms before we post, share or edit videos. Are news outlets simply less troubled by the deaths of black people, and thus making the rest of America so?”

The newspaper recounted, “We saw Walter Scott collapse when he was shot in April in South Carolina – from a distance, but the video is steady and clear. We saw and heard Eric Garner gasp, ‘I can’t breathe’ as a New York Police Department officer put him in an apparent chokehold. And we saw a first-person view of Sam DuBose’s head exploding when he was shot by the University of Cincinnati police officer.”

This double standard is evident in how the crimes are described in the media.

A Media Matters headline declared: “Whether Fox News Acknowledges A Hate Crime Depends On The Race Of The Shooter.”

After the Charleston shootings, Fox & Friends” co-host Steve Doocy said: “It was released earlier – And extraordinarily they called it a hate crime – And some look at it as, well, it’s because it was a white guy apparently in a black church. But you made a great point just a moment ago about the hostility against Christians, and it was a church, so maybe that’s what they’re talking about…”

More than a half-dozen Fox hosts and guests suggested the killings in Roanoke was a hate crime-And some

Emmett Till’s Life Still Matters The more things change, the more they stay the same. Racially motivated murder of young Black Americans across the United States is not a new or rare phenomenon. For too long this brutally fatal manifestation of the madness of American racism has persisted in the face of public horror and disgust.

August 28 marked the 60th anniversary of the death of 14-year-old Emmett Louis Till, who was abducted, beaten and murdered near Money, Miss. for allegedly whistling at a White woman.

At the time, Mississippi led the nation in the number of lynchings, according to records kept by the Chicago Tribune.

The brutal death of the teenager visiting from Chicago served as inspiration for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which began in December 1955, four months after Till’s death.

The current Black Lives Matter movement that continues to gain momentum and support throughout the nation also engenders vivid memories from the past. The anniversary of Emmett Till’s murder and the subsequent not guilty verdicts that were given to Till’s confessed White killers stand as a painful reminder that systemic racial injustice in the U.S. has been a longterm reality for Black America.

We have to credit the raw courage of Emmett Till’s beloved mother, Mamie Till Mobley, for not allowing her son’s murder to go unnoticed throughout the nation and world. Sister Mobley was a strong mother and she refused in the face of enormous pressure to keep her son’s casket closed at his funeral in Chicago.

Mamie Till Mobley resisted the advice of the funeral director and insisted that the casket carrying the badly mutilated body of her son remain open for public viewing. She said, “I wanted the world to see what they did to my baby.”

And that is exactly what happened. Jet magazine and hundreds of Black-owned newspapers across the country put the horrible picture of Emmett Till’s crushed face on the front page of their publications. Millions of Black Americans and others responded with calls and demands for justice for Emmett Till and his family.

I had the opportunity on several occasions over the years to speak and meet with Mamie Till Mobley in Chicago

and in New York City before she died in 2003.

Sister Mobley was also a staunch civil rights activists and leader. I remember that she once said to me, “We have to keep on fighting for freedom no matter what obstacles that may put in our path. We have suffered too much to let anything or anyone take us backwards as a people.” Her words are still true and relevant today.

As we are now preparing for the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March: Justice Or Else! on October 10 in Washington, D.C., the legacy of Emmett Till and the piercing truth of the long life and struggle of Mamie Till Mobley still scream out to this day to demand justice and equality for Black America and all those who have been victimized and oppressed by racism and injustice.

Recently, at Emmett Till’s gravesite in the Burr Oak Cemetery near Chicago, there was a memorial service organized by the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation. Airickca Gordon-Taylor, cofounder of the foundation and a relative of Till, stated, “I see many parallels with what happened to Emmett, you can connect the dots…. Our family, we had dealt with injustice for 60 years.

We never had justice for Emmett Till’s murder.”

Yes, the dots are being connected. The Black Lives Matter is growing and the memory of what happened to Emmett Till serves as an important reminder.

Geneva Reed-Veal, the mother of Sandra Bland, the young Black American woman who was arrested in Texas and found hanged in a jail cell just a few weeks ago, was also at the Till’s gravesite memorial. The pain that the Till family still feels is the pain that the Bland family feels. This is pain that Black America feels.

Each generation of Black Americans has had to endure this pain, but at the same time continue to demand and struggle for racial justice, freedom and equality. Black Lives Matter. Emmett Till’s life still matters.

Supershop Entertainment Strikes Again In a market that is known for last minute ticket sales it appears the promoters that brought us the Charlie Wilson concert, Frankie Beverly featuring Maze, Fantasia with KC & JoJo, Kem, Joe and most recently Keith Sweat & friends have found the secret to success.

According to Supershop Entertainment promoter and CEO JB Johnson, “I don’t know if we have found the secret as opposed to just being fortunate. More than anything I believe we have been blessed to come up with concerts that people want to see. I’ve been involved with the music scene in this market, my hometown, for sometime now. Like everyone else I grew up wondering why Albany and Macon could attract great concerts but Columbus never seemed to do the same, said Johnson. I just refused to believe that we were a lost cause and decided to put forth the effort to change that perception.”

With that being said their next concert is slated for October 31, 2015 when Supershop Entertainment presents The Queen of R & B Tour Starring Mary J Blige with special guest Tamar Braxton .

It’s hard to be everything for everybody but if you know your market you have a better chance of getting positive results.

This, in my opinion is an “Old School” market. I believe, however, if we can continue to mix nostalgia with something current, such as a hot hip-hop artist we can bring out the young along with the “baby boomers” and have a great time. That’s our goal”.

Supershop Entertainment promises more concerts that will feed the needs of the concertgoers in our community. In the meantime tickets are available at the Columbus Civic Center for the Queen of R & B Tour. Make sure you get your tickets as soon as possible because this one will sell out.

Because of his work he received a certificate from the Columbus Housing Authority under the P.A.L.S banner for a free photo shoot he did for under privileged seniors.

Born in Montgomery Alabama and raised in Columbus, Georgia, Terrence Flowers photographer, and video producer is a graduate of Kendrick High School.

Flowers attended Columbus Technical College originally for Air Conditioning Repair, but as he dabbled in and around the world of video recording and editing, his love for anything the camera could capture began to grow.

Living by the motto “Actions speak louder than words”, and “you get out what you put in”, Terrence learned to navigate and expand his passion by teaching himself Pro Tools, a professional recording program and Final Cut, a video editing program.

“I have a checkered past”, explains Flowers “and I know GOD has spared me. I was supposed to be dead and

Currently the owner of his business, The Mechanical Eye Photography and Video Flowers, he is also a director and Producer for an online media company called Pvlse Media (Pvlse with a V). Pvlse media is a production company that focuses on bringing his viewers contents about social injustices, human rights, and local and world news.

Flowers views this as something that is much needed in the community and throughout the country. “I am the executive producer for the program,” shares Terrence. “I’m responsible for the programs we film and put out.”

Pvlse in its short time running has accumulated nearly 9,000 Facebook likes and over five hundred thousand video plays for original published content.

“I have made life changing decisions to get back on track,” says Flowers, and by the looks of things, it seems there’s no stopping him. With future plans of expanding his TME brand into weddings and events, Terrence also would love to become a director of photography for Tyler Perry Studios one day.

All we can say is, Terrence, all eyes are on you, and the lens is in focus.

“I’m a firm believer that God can put a freeze on everything negative that we’ve been dealt, and remove us from it ” shares Harris. Upon graduation she joined the Army Reserves. She returned home, after Basic Training and AIT, and began attending Virginia College as a Criminal Justice major. Harris also worked for Coca Cola and continued working as a Barber and Assistant Manager at OverFlo.

For Columbus, Georgia native Cassidy Harris life hasn’t always been what one would consider peaches and cream. A victim of abuse and homelessness at the age of thirteen, life seemed to be off to a rocky start. “I didn’t know if what was going on was supposed to happen to me or not” expresses Cassidy.

Thru grace and faith, a young Harris was taken in by her grandmother and has been “On the Move” ever since.

Starting off, as a sweeper for OverFlo Barber and Beauty Shop in the seventh grade, with the support of the OverFlo owners and family, Harris took her grades from F’s to straight A’s, and became an apprentice barber by age seventeen. Eventually she graduated in the top 20 of her class from Hardaway High School. During her high school years she participated in wrestling, track, cross-country, and

A hard worker is an under statement for this 19 year old, who has put in more work than many twice her age. Even at that she still finds time to volunteer with Columbus Barbers United and attend church services. “People say I’m to busy and work to much, but work is my release from my past.”

With future goals to finish her degree, enlist and retire from the Army. Harris also hopes to one day own her own restaurant and Barbershop, along with becoming owner of multiple properties.

“I have a full schedule, with no days off”, states Cassidy “I know if I work hard now, and put everything into it, I WILL be successful.”

With all her life struggles, hard work, current and future achievements, one thing Cassidy Harris has accomplished is forgiveness on a great level. Having been able to forgive and help those who have hurt her in the past is a driving force in her constant determination.

“I’m not perfect myself,” explains Harris, “but my relationship with God is unbreakable. It’s said if we pray in secret, he will bless us in the open.”

If You Really Believe “Black Lives Matter” Then Act Like It Kenneth Walker who was shot and killed in 2003 by then Muscogee County Sheriff’s Deputy David Glisson. Most recently, Zikarius Jaquan Flint was shot and killed on March 30, 2014 by Columbus State University police officer Ben Scott.

By Wane A. Hailes The Courier

For the record, I am sickened by the seemingly never-ending stories of police brutality against people of color. I continue to be incensed by the social media and television footage of the killings of our young AfricanAmerican brothers and sisters and by the gross insensitivity of police officers that have sworn an oath to protect and serve. However, if I am to be honest, I am even more fearful by what Blacks do to each other in this country and more importantly in the community in which I live.

Although I empathize with a father or mother who has lost a loved one to a violent or senseless act in Ferguson, Missouri, Sanford, Florida, Staten Island, New York, Cleveland, Ohio, Waller County, Texas and Charleston, South Carolina, I don’t anyone in Muscogee County who had a personal relationship with any of the victims in those cities.

What I do know is, although any unwarranted death of an unarmed individual at the hands of a law enforcement official is indeed too many, in the twenty-five years I have lived here in Columbus, Georgia, if my memory serves me correct, there have been only two killings of African-Americans by law enforcement officials in Muscogee county. The first was

What I do know is since January 24, 2014 up until August 6 of 2015 there have been thirty-four (34) homicides in Muscogee County. Of the thirty-four murders, 32 of the victims were African-American.

All of those arrested, suspected or wanted for those homicides are African-American assailants.

What I do know, is we have to place a higher value on AfricanAmerican lives in our own community, block by block. Until we get just as fired up about Black-on-Black violence in Columbus, Georgia as we do about cop killings around the country, the phrase “Black Lives Matter” will be no more than a clever saying.

one who knew Trayvon Martin but somebody here in Columbus, Georgia knew Zachery Clark, Blake Berry, Keith Turner and Johann Gamble. I don’t know anyone who knew Eric Gardner or Tamir Rice but somebody here in Columbus, Georgia knew William Edwards, Simon King, Marcus King and Clifford Kendrick. I don’t know anyone who knew Sandra Bland or Walter Scott but somebody here in Columbus, Georgia knew Robert M. Brooks, Bobby R. Stewart, Robert E. Bolden, Chad A. Herring and Marquis Shivers.

The names above are of those African-American homicide victims, right here in Columbus, Georgia, who have been murdered at the hands of another African-American. In each case the suspect or suspects are at large. So I suggest this: If “Black Lives Matter”…why hasn’t someone come forward to say who killed these young people? The truth of the matter is more than a few pew people know exactly who the

“If “Black Lives Matter”…why is it that out of 48,115 registered AfricanAmerican, Hispanic and other minority voters only 35,104 showed up at the polls during the last election.....?”

I believe if we are going to insist on pushing the idea that “Black Lives Matter” it has to involve more than slogans, hash tags and protest rallies.

For me, when I think about “Black Lives Matter” I look at it on a local level. As I alluded to earlier, I don’t know anyone who knew Mike Brown, but somebody here in Columbus, Georgia knew Jumunn Morgan, Reno Fannin, Trenton Hill. I don’t know any-

perpetrators are. If you care about your people why not come forward and give the families closure?

If “Black Lives Matter”… why is it that with 48,115 registered African-American, Hispanic & other minority voters in Muscogee County as opposed to 46,428 registered Caucasian voters we can’t elect more candidates that look like us?

If “Black Lives Matter”…

why is it that out of 48,115 registered African-American, Hispanic and other minority voters only 35,104 showed up at the polls during the last election to exercise the right that our grandparents fought and died for? That is especially troubling when only 32,259 Caucasians went to the polls.

What is worse if you count only the African-Americans that voted we still outnumbered them with 33,453 actual voters.

So here is what I say. If you are one of those individuals who are showing up at these rallies, protest marches, or jumping up in your church pulpit talking about “Black Lives Matter” and you are not a registered voter, you need to keep those words out of your mouth: And as the kids say; “have several seats.”

As I close, history dictates that

it was the efforts of young African-Americans that were instrumental in effecting social change during the civil rights movement. Likewise it will take the efforts of today’s youth to make sure society understands that Black Lives Matter.” Locally, the way to insure that is that we exercise our right to vote.

To the young people who have taken the initiative to organizing the “Justice or Else” bus trip to the 20th Anniversary of the Million man March on 10.10.15 in Washington D.C. I would ask that you put the same amount of effort in organizing a ”Vote or Else Rally on 5.24.15, which is the P r i m a r y / G e n e r a l Nonpartisan/Special Election and another; “Vote or Else event for the General/Special Election on 11.8.2016.

That is, “If Black Lives Matter!”

2000 Opportunities, Inc. Offers Assistance For New Businesses

By Wane A. Hailes The Courier

Two Thousand Opportunities Inc. (TTOI) is a nonprofit Community Development Corporation that was founded in 1999. TTOI is a well-established community development corporation actively engaged in the revitalization of blighted areas in Columbus, Georgia.

TTOI has established a Small Business Incubator Center (SBIC) that offers new business owners and entrepreneurs a supportive business environment during the critical start-up and expansion period.

The Small Business Incubator Center provides financial, legal and clerical assistance if needed as well as business plan development and office space.

This is the only business service in our community that provides such a comprehensive program in one facility. TTOI is considered the hub for other Incubators in the surrounding area. We have been a model Incubator for other counties that want to adopt the same concept for assisting small businesses. The goal of the SBIC is to create business owners and employment for traditionally disadvantaged groups, i.e., African Americans, Hispanics, women, other minorities and low-income individuals.

Typically, more than 90 percent of all new jobs in a community are created by start-up businesses or expanded firms. The SBIC is designed to help businesses to weather those periods and increase their chances for survival or growth in today’s competitive marketplace.

Several small businesses have started off at the SBIC and after two years have moved into a larger office space due to expansion of the business.

In the past TTOI has secured funding for various programs.

The first program was a PreAdult Training and Development Program (PATDP). The pro-

gram focused on and addressed the problems of Pre-Adults between the ages of 16 and 20 who have or may be expecting a child. Demographics suggested that pre-adults are generally from low-income families, received public assistance, resided in public housing and have educational levels ranging from high school dropouts up to some college training.

Many of the PATDP participants exhibited a miscellany of behavioral characteristics such as low personal esteem and a lack of self-confidence, as well as little appreciation for the responsibilities of the work world.

Through the PATDP these problematic traits and characteristics have been lessened and in many cases overcome. The PATDP focused on the immediate needs of pre-adult parent while establishing a base for long-term development of a strong family unit. The program provided educational elements of skills development, enhancement and transference using a myriad of protocol including job readiness, build-

ing self-esteem, on the job training and job shadowing. Also, the important aspect of parenting to enhance the general development of the strong fam-

ily unit was addressed in the program.

Many of the participants that were hired by various companies that provided training for the PATDP are stilled employed with the company, have been promoted to various positions and some have completed college.

TTOI recently received a grant through the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Inc. for a Workforce Development and Training Program.

This program will

increase the working skills of low-income individuals by providing job training services in order to assist them find permanent employment. The program will offer training in areas such as writing a resume, interviewing skills, professional attire, job ethics, reputable references, professional telephone ethics and other skills needed to prepare the participants for employment. The primary goal is permanent employment for program participants. The program will be collaborating efforts between TTOI and Western Staff Services, a local staffing company that will assist with job placement of the participants after completion of the classroom training.

The Workforce Development and Training Program will emphasize life and job skills training.

This program will secure resources that will enable program participants to become employable by obtaining their GED and job training skills. Participants will attend 3 weeks of classroom training, 3

days per week which will include job readiness; interviewing skills, work ethics, speech, grammar and reading enhancement and business skills, health and body care, alcohol and drug abuse awareness, food and nutrition, dress, decorum and self deportment and family budgeting. Once the participant completes the classroom training, he or she will have the confidence to tackle the world of employment.

With an updated resume, professional skills, more selfesteem and a better attitude about life, he or she will strive to gain employment. Studies have shown when individuals become independent because of job security they are more likely to be productive citizens of the community.

PAGE 14 Curry From Page 4 look at it as, well, it’s because it was a white guy apparently in a black church. But you made a great point just a moment ago about the hostility against Christians, and it was a church, so maybe that’s what they’re talking about…”

More than a half-dozen Fox hosts and guests suggested the

killings in Roanoke was a hate crime.

When one guest suggested it would be more accurate to characterize the shootings as workplace violence, Gretchen Carlson countered, “But it says in the manifesto that – he wrote 23 pages and faxed to ABC News and now in the hands of Fox – he talks about race

a lot. He put the initials of the Charleston church shooting victims on the bullets that he used today. He praised the Virginia Tech mass killer, the Columbine high school killers, says he was being attacked for being a gay black man. He shot three white people today. Why is that not a hate crime?”

Fox commentators deny racism

is a serious problem in the U.S. Fox’s Steve Doocy said, “If we were a racist nation, Barack Obama would not have been elected president of the United States twice…”

He failed to mention that most Whites voted against Obama.

Kevin Gates Kicks Fan

Rapper Kevin Gates is charged with simple battery after kicking an 18-year-old fan in the chest at a performance in Florida. The attack was caught on video from a cellular phone showing the fan tugging on Gates shorts and he then kicked her. After the footage went viral on social media, the police became involved. Since the incident occurred last month, Gates has released a statement via a song titled “The Truth.”

“All in the news 'bout what happened in Florida… posted on WorldStar on iPhone recorders.

She grabbed my d*** over and acted, I'm sorry. Says Gates, two or three times I had already warned her. Edit that part out, I don't like to argue."

Since the release of this song, the victim’s mother has also spoken out about what has happened to her daughter.

According to AllHipHop.com, the fan’s mother, Kristy Irelan, tells her daughter’s side of the story.

“She told me that she was excited to see him and next thing she knows she was kicked in the chest and she was passed out…It pisses me off,

says Ireland, I don’t care who you are- an NFL player, just a regular person or a rapper- you don’t come to anybody’s home town and kick anybody- she did not deserve that.”

The incident that occurred is very unfortunate for the teen.

She’s reportedly had a CT done which shows she was kicked.

What the family is planning to do is unknown. The outcome of the incident has yet to be determined, but it does not look very good for Gates.

Kanye West for President The Video Music Awards premiered August 30 on MTV, and the awards show had a lot of ground breaking moments, but the biggest moment of all was Kanye West’s acceptance speech for his Michael Jackson Vanguard Award. West reminisced on his infamous incident with Taylor Swift (who gave him his award), by saying “If I had a daughter back then,” things probably would have turned out differently and he may not have disrupted her acceptance speech in 2009.

As the 13-minute-speech carried on, West discussed his passion for making sure that other artists receive the credit that they are due for the hard work and dedication that’s put into the makings of their music.

According to CNN.com, the “Bound 2” rapper appeared to be a tad bit out of it, and noticed that those in the crowd and watching could notice it as well, he stated: "I don't know what I’m finna lose after this. It don't matter, though; It's not about me. It's about ideas. New ideas. People with ideas. People who believe in truth," West said. "And yes, as you probably could've guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president."

Whether Kanye is serious about running for the President of the United States or not, he already has a lot of support from the Democratic Party, and social media as #KanyeForPresident was trending on social media.

Congratulations to Kanye on his award and upcoming endeavors.

Conectándote con el Padre

Las Cenizas no son el Final Job 2:8-10Nueva Traducción Viviente (NTV)

8 Job, sentado entre cenizas, se rascaba con un trozo de teja. 9 Su esposa le dijo: « ¿Todavía intentas conservar tu integridad? Maldice a Dios y muérete».

10 Sin embargo, Job contestó: «Hablas como una mujer necia. ¿Aceptaremos solo las cosas buenas que vienen de la mano de Dios y nunca lo malo?». A pesar de todo, Job no dijo nada incorrecto.

Bendiciones amado lector quería compartir una hermosa historia, que hace notoria la importancia que surge cuando mantenemos nuestra postura en Dios, aun en los momentos más difíciles de nuestra vida y más aún en un escenario como este donde el haber perdido todo era meramente la antesala para algo grande. Es cierto que a nadie le gustaría tener que atravesar lo que un hombre llamado Job atravesó, no solo en la pérdida de posesiones sino también en la pérdida de sus siete hijos y tres hijas. No puedo imaginar la

inmensidad del dolor ya que un dolor como este es imaginable, nos obstante lo más que me estremece y me impacta no es la perdida de bienes materiales y de seres amados sino la postura asumida aun en medio de su situación.

Es cierto que a través de los procesos somos refinados como el oro como se nos dice en 1 Pedro 1: 6-7: “En lo cual os regocijáis grandemente, aunque ahora, por un poco de tiempo si es necesario, seáis afligidos con diversas pruebas, 7para que la prueba de vuestra fe, más preciosa que el oro que perece, aunque probado por fuego, sea hallada que resulta en alabanza, gloria y honor en la revelación de Jesucristo.

El oro para llegar a ser refinado tiene que ser procesado por fuego y es impresionante lo que era antes a lo que llega a ser luego de ser pasado por el fuego. Se logra determinar que el proceso ha llegado a su fin cuando el que está pasando el oro por el fuego logra verse en el oro

como si fuera un espejo. La historia tiende a ser bien fuerte, porque no solamente pierde todo incluyendo a sus hijos sino que recibe una enfermedad en la piel la cual producía el tener que rascarse, en este escenario tan particular donde mientras se rascaba la palabra establece que se encontraba sentado en medio de cenizas.

La ceniza era una forma de mostrar luto, desgracia, vergüenza, arrepentimiento y penitencia públicamente. Y es en ese escenario donde su mujer le dice, ¿Aun retienes tu integridad? Maldice a Dios, y muérete. Que cosa increíble, sin embargo ambos habían perdido pero solo uno se encontraba en medio de cenizas el cual mantenía una postura no entendida ni por su propia mujer.

“Es cierto que los que no entiendan tus cenizas tampoco entenderán la gloria que surge de ellas”.

Leif I. Espinosa Job mantuvo su integridad, aquello que es definido como el comportamiento del ser humano para hacer lo que debe hacer de acuerdo a lo que es correcto. Estamos viviendo momentos donde para muchos hacer lo correcto ya no es prioridad sino hacer lo que conviene, sin embargo este hombre mantuvo su postura porqué sabía que las CENIZAS NO ERAN EL FINAL. Le dijo a su mujer que así como mujer fatua había hablado, la definición de fatua es falto de razón o de entendimiento Lleno de presunción o vanidad infundada y ridícula. Y le hizo la pregunta, ¿Recibiremos de Dios el bien.

Y el mal no lo recibiremos?

Le pudo haber contestado de otra manera más sin embargo

su postura ante todo hizo hacerlo de forma correcta. Es cierto que las personas que muchas veces malinterpretan tu proceso son aquellos cerca de ti. Pero hay uno que te conoce desde antes de haber sido formado en el vientre de tu madre.

Por eso si no estás enterado o enterada, hoy te enteraras.

Hay una Gloria que viene luego de las cenizas.

Hay una bendición que te alcanza después del proceso.

Hay una promoción que no nace del canto ni de la alegría sino que nace del dolor de lo que se va, que lo que

se perdió, de lo que se quemó, Tu tiempo en las cenizas anuncian que la Gloria no dependerá de lo que tuviste sino de lo que él Todo Poderos habrá de hacer contigo y darte después del proceso, dependerá del que levanta tu cabeza y te sostiene con la diestra de su justicia.

Hace falta esta actitud ante las situaciones y perdidas en nuestra vida no obstante mantente integro por que las CENIZAS NO SON EL FINAL.
