Resurrecting Baltimore
The Art of the Possible by Omari Bakari The death of Freddy Gray at the hands of the Baltimore Police Department was the tipping point for a national outcry for unjust treatment of Black Americans nationally. As cities across the nation rallied behind the rebellion on the streets of Baltimore many other racial atrocities against us raised their ugly heads of bigotry. Baltimore, like most other major cities across the nation, is a Tale of Two Cities. There’s one city where privileged Americans enjoy a superior quality of life, then there is the other where less fortunate exist in an inferior state of being. The preppy youngsters on yakety yak social media appropriately call it “Bmore and Bless”referring to the haves and have nots. Make no mistake, in Baltimore there is a very visible defining line between those who live in poverty and those who enjoy the finer things this city has to offer. As I said, what happened in Baltimore was only the tipping point. What followed in Charleston, SC at Emmanuel A.M.E. those nine murders woke black America up from its state of inertia. We have more recently learned that 6 black churches have been burned to the ground in the south over the past two weeks since then. In fact, the Hutchinson Report announced in a recent article that 37 Black Churches have been torched over the past 18 months.

The Hutchinson report also stated that the ATF has investigated more than 150 Church burnings covering a six year period both North and South - both white and black churches. CNN reported in May (the month Baltimore recorded 37 homicides which exceeded a forty year record), that as of June 2015 nationwide 743 police killings had been reported and of that number 382 were black men. A national report states that 440 black men were killed by police in 2014. Even worse, reports indicate that this year twice as many black men will be killed by police than the year before. Today, there are more black men in prison than they were black men doing all the slavery. As President Barack Obama works effortlessly to expand the middle class for Americans, we can no longer sit back relying on government to fix our problems. As Black Americans, we must prepare ourselves, our families and communities to fully participate in the growth and development of our nation. This means making health, education and financial freedom a priority. We must be prepared for the challenges ahead that will impact our economic outcome. No longer can we wait for federal aid to improve our community and economic outlook. It’s going to take

Think On These Things By Reverend Juanita G. Wingo
There Shall Be No Loss …there shall be no loss Acts 27:22
Many times our disparate circumstances dictate to us that all hope is gone. The scenes of our lives reveal to us nothing but negative distrust and despair. Transition tempts us to make unlawful moves and choices. We reach for what we cannot have or for what we once had attempting to hold on to the pieces of reality with which we are familiar. But hold fast to faith. That fleeting moment of doubt shall pass and truth shall arise crystal clear: God is here! And where God is – is everything we need. Hold on a moment longer. Behold the thickening clouds that appear to hide the light. They are but temporary curtains that can be pulled back by the fingertip of God to reveal what has always been there: the vastness of the heavens, a tiny glimpse of which can only be seen from where your circumstances have put you. stars.
Beyond what you can see lies infinite resources as countless as the
And look! Light breaks forth. Clouds can’t hide the light forever. It is stronger than the darkness and brings with it strength. If you are bid to trust while in the darkness and move from familiar places, be of good cheer. You won’t lose anything that cannot be replaced. Power Magazine n August 2015

THE CHURCH TEA
FALL
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, Jude 1:24 It’s been tough to watch yet another black persona fall from grace so hard. Documented sources confirm that Bill Cosby’s net worth was roughly 300 million dollars back in 1992 – primarily because while other entertainers were interested in getting a paycheck, Mr. Cosby opted for a percentage of the revenues from “The Cosby Show”, which earned billions in syndication. During that time Mr. Cosby expressed an interest in purchasing a television network. Apparently, the mere suggestion did not sit well with media moguls. If the “Cosby Show” dictated the perception of an entire race of people, then owning a network would have been advantageous to the black community. The desecration of Mr. Cosby’s moral character may very well be an orchestrated plan to prohibit his future financial endeavors. As women started coming out the woodwork the media began to paint a dark picture of a troubled man who drugged women for sex. Ironically, due to his stature, tremendous wealth and influence many unscrupulous women would have welcomed the opportunity to accept, acknowledge and participate in his alleged sordid behaviors. I make my points not to cover Mr. Cosby’s assumed guilt, but I have grown weary of seeing people we regard in high esteem verbally assassinated. Yes, he may suffer from Hubris (excessive pride), that tragic character flaw which caused him to lose contact with reality
and violate human moral codes of conduct. And no doubt the mention of his name will provide comedians with limitless material for many decades to come. However, my true sentiments are actually for his family members who must come to grips with his tarnished image and damaged legacy. Lest we forget the millions of dollars he contributed to Spellman and the many other HBCU’s. But one thing is certain, whatever transpires during this controversial time in Mr. Cosby’s life, we can be assured that there is room at the cross for him, his family and the victims. God’s grace and mercy is made perfect in our weakness. Until Next time, be sure to listen to our livestream broadcast on WOLB 1010AM, Friday’s from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm. Thanks for all the emails. I read each one and love the feed back – negative and positive. Annwilliams@ ramovers.com
