Military " Draft " Coming Soon ?

First let me say before I give my political opinion and advice, I believe we are all entitled to our opinions, that is our 1st amendment rights. The thing about going in to places of worship and watching what we do on " Facebook ",  has always been happening. Nothing ' New " ! Regardless of each others Politics, its an insult to us Americans, on telling us what you want to do and what you can't do legally ? When you know good and well that you are already doing it ! Also I believe they want to re- instate the " Draft " for the next " War World 3 " to employ all our young people of all skin colors who don't or can't find jobs. I agree with that a lot of " Brothers " would be employed to take care of there families. Unemployment would go down by half in our African American Communities ! A young " Brother " would feel good about themselves and feel like ' Men ", I should know ! But its a shame and a crime, that young " Brothers " lives collectively are only valuable and worth giving a check too when its time for ( Front lines ) War ? If that's not the case, then show us different, give a young " Brother " a job, when there is not a " War "  ?

Man of Faith !

As a Man of " Faith " it breaks my heart to see all the violence in the name of God, our spiritual enemy ( Devil) is winning in this world ! He has so little time that like a Lion it roams and is devouring soul's ! But the reason I write this, is because I can understand why many people have given up on God or don't believe a God is real because all the violence us humans do to each other ! I apologize to non-believers on behalf of us believers for being hypocritical on speaking one thing but doing another ! Yes there are a lot of us " Bible Thumpers " who think we are to good for other people and that is wrong ! The truth is we are imperfect human beings, who are flawed and not perfect and we should admit that more often ! I plead for the Love of God my fellow human Brothers and Sisters, to not give up on " God " because we are all flawed human beings ! We all will never be sinless but we can all " SIN LESS " Keep Love in our Hearts because Love will always be stronger then " Hate " ! God Bless and protect Us ALL !

3 Months Down And Now Back Up !

On June 14th I was rushed to the emergency room , I was dehydrated and losing fluids and I was having side effects from my medications, I was a wreck. The Dr told me everything was alright but a week later I was back in the hospital after no longer taking medications, my body weight was losing mass and I could not sleep and stopped functioning  daily ! I did not know if I was coming or going and I could not get through my daily routine at all and I could not make coffee, boil egg or grocery shopping ? My Wife is a Soldier and she was right by my side encouraging me to get better ! On July 22nd I went back to the hospital and was admitted for 6 days and given new medicine, and was back home July 28th- 2015 ! Its now Oct-7th and through the Grace of my God I feel 100 % better and back to my old self. What I just went through was scary and waking up in the morning not feeling like your self but a stranger was tough, but I knew one day I would wake up and feel like my old self again, I stayed in Prayer ! In the last 30 days I have been back consistent in my business and life and I am grateful and humbled ! It just reminds me to never take life or anything or anyone for granted because you don't know what tomorrow gives you or anyone. Although I had to cancel business and my book tour, which let a lot of people down about 30 in all, I am finally back to have the confidence to proceed and make my family and friends Proud of me. Thank you all for your Prayers and Support !

Not All Opportunities Are Good ?

Recently in the last two months , I have been turning down request from the likes of ( Fox ) Bill O'Reilly, (MSNBC) Rev Sharpton , and (CNN) Don Lemon ? Also I turned down the opportunity to have a speaking part ( acting) in the next installment of " Ghostbusters " ? The reasoning is, I did not turn them down, I never burn bridges but I said if my schedule allows me ? The reality is all opportunities are not good ones, and all money is not good money ! I decided 30 years ago that I was going to be a legitimate business Man and there for I don't believe in Credit, Loans, Payments or Favors ! When I was young I aspired to be famous and always dreamed of getting that kind of Media, to be a house hold name, a national Celebrity !
Many years between the ages of 18 and 30 I tried to be a house hold name by starting and running 5 entertainment companies by the age of 31 ! For 4 years straight Mr. Roger Bates artist, creator and owner of ( The Black Savior Comic Book) and I were able to get consistent local Media in ' The Bay Area " !
Many newspaper articles, The Fremont Argus, Daily Review, Oakland Tribune, San Jose Mercury, The San Francisco Chronicle and the East Bay Express were main stays ! We also did three local talk shows with twice with Susan Sikora ( Ch-44) and once with local 5 CBS with Barbra White ! Not to mention our famous short lived commercial on Soul Beat Television by the " Great " Chuck Robinson of Oakland, Ca !
The closest we ever got to national news was our article titled " Black Comic Books " on the cover of the December issue of The Source Magazine 1995 with LL. Cool J on the cover ! Oh yea we got natinal attention from our beef with Ice- T which made the MTV News and a mention of us in directly, in Ice-T Autobiography the " Ice Opinion " in which he states he had controversy with a comic book character and publisher ( The Black Savior ) 1993-1994 ? My point is now years later when finally I will be a house hold name on June-9-2015 Nation wide release of my Autobiography ' The Godbrother ", I finally arrived by my God's grace and his appointed time !

Malcom X ?

I was born Shabazz before I knew it, I just did not read about our beloved Malcom Little, Malcom X, ( Our Shining Prince ) El-Hajj Malik- El- Shabazz one day and then decided to change my name on Jan-1992 !
I made a well informed conscious decision, that my Country will never be able to look at me the same again,
regardless if I believe Jesus is my Savior ! its an honor to wear this Royal name because it reminds me to never forget about Malcom X !  As A people we either forgot or never been taught about him and its a shame because Brother Malcom X made us Blacks feel like natural cultured (African ) Royalty, like Kings and Queens before our own ( Africa ) sold us in to slavery ! He gave us Black Men our Crowns back and I am never taking mines off ! Malcom X is the one who said, you are more then a color ? You are African American Royalty !

Changing Of The Heart ?

I remember when I was living in this Southern Christian Conservative State ( Texas ), Oops! I was accepted in to this Stock Exchange & Finance Class. My Supervisor or Teacher was a guy named Todd who let me know upfront in his office, that he doesn't like " African- Americans " ( sarcastically ) and just to let me know, I am a Quota ? I told him I understood and then I thanked him for being up front ? He looked at me with a shitty grin on his face ! Everyday three days like clock work he would call me in to his office and ask me, " How I was Coping " ?  I would sit there and talk about it and eventually we started to talk about God, Family, Sports, and Politics. When the 90 days was up, Todd stopped me from walking out the door and said, Ced ? Aren't  you even going to say good bye ? I said No, I was going to say God Bless you and your family Todd ! He said, my father taught me to hate Black People as he grin that shitty grin and then said, may be he was wrong ?

When Lion's Roar ! ( I Am A Liberated African American Man )

I am a liberated African American Man who is not afraid to speak, write, about my experiences, dreams and pain as a human being first ! The notion you may not care is not important to me, but growing up, I have always respected authority not because all of them have respect for me ? So I am the kind of Brother that is humble and polite at all times with everyone, that's my nature and character ! I love all people because they are human beings to me first before ....... ? I grew up in the most socially liberated Communities in America ( The Bay Area ) Northern California since I was a 3 year old child, product of 18 year old Queen ( Mother ) ! I have dated a lot of different races , religions, politics, social status of Women who more or less never seen me as a serious future Mate because I am an African American Man, the lowest Man on the totem pole ? I even got use to the fact and accepted America's ignorance and acceptance of me being a  a) Animal, ( Bred To Labor ) b) BOY, c) Rapist  d) Thief, e) Addict, f ) Drunk, g) Savage, h) Entertainment ( Black Face and Boxing ) i) Dancer, Singer j)  Athlete and on and on of really scary stereotypes, that make MONEY, for everybody else but us poor lost African Americans who can not take care of there selves because of lack of a Father in the household ! What a shame, these low life African American Men can not even stop the enemy from raping his Women ? Now hold on now ? I am not crying, whining, or asking anyone give me a hand out to help me, when I also am born with Penis like other Men of a different Color ?
I am a Liberated African American Man because I left the Plantation ( Mental ) with " Knowledge Of Self " a long time ago. Free like our African American's fore Father Kunte Kinte. Running, Running, Running, Running with a smile on my face, because I am A LIBERATED BLACK MAN !  GOD HAVE MERCY ON US All , GOD BLESS !

The Exploitation and Taking Advantage of " Women Of Color In The Pornography Industry " ?

When I was 18 years old, I remembered I use to sneak in to this theater that showed XXX Movies, when I say sneak, I mean back then you had to watch to see if any body that you knew was around ! Being 18 and full of hormones like youngsters are, you have a whole world to explore different things and experiences when it comes to one sexuality ! I remembered watching my favorite Adult Actresses Ebony Hayes, Vanessa Del Rio, Janet Jacme and Maryln Chambers ! I especially had an addiction to Vanessa Del Rio, what Man with American blood in him did not ? For many years Pornography was a world one can be in there own, a special place were and pleasure of the flesh is first stimulating by vision then senses and there we Men and Women ( masterbation ) GO ?  All though I to spent Money and time pre-occupied with this industry for years I had a addiction that I thought was a normal thing to have as far as being a Man and Human. I remembered the thrill of walking around Porn Shops on Broadway in San Francisco or The Famous Jim and Artie Mitchell Brothers ( O'Farrell Theater ) as a 18 to 21 year old single Man. Well now its 2015 and the Pornography Industrty is making 15 billion dollars a year and from industry data sent to me, Women of Color are coming up short in this business ! The hard data facts are that Women of Color are paid less and treated like second class citizens next to there European American Actresses, who have for years been stereotyped as forbidden fruit for Men of Color ! Bam , now you have the fastest market growing called and Marketed as Interracial Porn.
in which the majority of these consumers are European American's ! With influx of young Women of Color see this is an opportunity for quick money they are being used upped and exploited at alarming rates with devastating consequences getting paid half the money for a scene then there European American Sisters !
Now some people are probably saying, Why is this Christian Man talking about this Sin ? Well the fact is since the invention of the Internet  50 % of Christian Men admit they are addicted to porn and 50 % of us Holy then Thou are paying 7 billion dollars a year on something we profess as Sin ? Now I admit to mines, don't think because I spend 13 hours a day on the Web with my business that I am not tempted ! Recently, I was given an opportunity to be a face for the " Save A Sister Foundation " ! This New Foundation will take time to build relationships with our lost Child, Daughter or Sister and see what resources they need to get out the business and have a Second Chances at life with no judgement from us hypocrites  ! This was a big commitment for me because its an opportunity for me a Christian Man to stand up and face this epidemic, but its also as a Man Of God I will always be tempted !

African Americans Not Married ?

The percentage of African Americans not Married in America is a real social problem for our African American Community. The social attitudes of our society and our own experiences growing up with parents or lack of, is a Big factor. Marriage is laughable to a lot of young people and some of them or maybe a lot of them think its a Joke ? They say, Why get Married if the U.S Divorce rate is 50 % ? The very notion that us African Americans don't care about the Institution of Marriage, and raising our kids in the same house hold is false, but you would never know that with so many African American Women and Men who never have been Married ? To be fair though, there is a 3 or 5 to 1 ratio of African American Women to every African American Man ? Also if 25% of us Black Men are on Probation or Parole and we are 50 % of 2.3 million inmates in the United States of America Prison System, getting a job or a good paying job is next to none !
The other so called 75 % of us are either Married with debt or just too broke to qualify for a Educated African American Woman who have more College Diplomas then us African American Men.  The biggest
Curse us Black Men have to endure by being Slaves in America, is we do not and some circumstances, cannot provide a consistent quality financial life for our Women and Kids ! In effect when any Man feels he can't provide he is reminded real quick by some of our Women verbally, that if he was a real MAN ?
And Brothers, we all know How That's FEEL !
