When 9/11 still affects us locally & internationally
Alred C. Frett
9/11 & Relics from 15-Years ago:
America commemorates 15-years since 9/11 and to those who never cared it seems such a long time while for those who shared the Loss and Agony it seems like Yesterday… 9/11 is a Tragedy that happened so quickly but lingers so long that it brought out the best and worst in us and continues to result in the loss of so many innocent Lives that we should always remember not to forget.
Black people – ‘What the hell do you have to lose?’

What the Hell do you have to lose?
A serious question was asked of Slave Descendants by Mr Donald J. Trump, a potential President of the United States of America who also described Blacks as living in poverty with inferior Education, a lack of Jobs and likelihood of being shot in their own neighbourhoods… In response, too many of us became annoyed with Mr Trump rather than seeing whether and why these things he said were true.

Using ‘I told you so’ prevents re-invention of the Wheel:
It is no secret that we were born intellectually naked but in a misguided World no one likes hearing ‘I told you so’… Nonetheless, in the real World the greatest level of Intelligence is the ability to learn from others and our present Cloak of Knowledge is woven from many fabrics of “I told you so’s” – It is unwise to reinvent the wheel by being too proud or ashamed to learn from anyone.

When the Gift of Youth becomes the Product of Past Experiences:
Being young is wonderful – It’s a Promise of Forever where we can get everything, do everything, be everything and live everlasting but this is only as good as it gets for as long as it lasts – Time passes and most things change… We become caricatures of our Grandparents only to find we didn’t get everything, we didn’t do everything, we weren’t all we could be and we will not last forever.
Brexit or Trump – It’s all about you – Part 2

Selling out & making Deals at the expense of our People:
More and more Persons are talking to me about Politics and asking me not to say the things I do because, although they acknowledge them as truth, they want me to go along with what others are saying so I can be elected… Somehow they totally fail to understand that the only interest I have ever had in Politics was to make things better for those we serve so this Nigger is still not for sale.
A tribute of truth for Muhammad Ali
ALRED C. FRETT
We should not mistake Political Guile for Social Sincerity:
Muhammad Ali, renowned boxing legend, died at the age of 74… This was a Man who proclaimed himself ‘the Greatest’ and stood prepared to back up his conceit, and, as World-wide Tributes pour in for him many seem to agree but very few are able to put themselves in his shoes and realise that he was just another Victim of Society’s wicked, corrupt and hypocritical Systems.
This is all about you & you – For better or for worse

Finding yourself:
Over the years I have taught and told you many things but whether you are Black, White, Green or Purple nothing matters unless and until you know yourself… You may swear that you do but evidence shows that you remain consumed by the Self-hatred instilled in you from infancy and we still base our worth and our values on imitating others while ignoring ourselves.

Moving from Foolishness to Possibilities:
We have finally exited April; a Special Month - not just because it is All Fools Month but because this should have been the Month of Free and Fair VI Elections that could have forestalled those damages we have seen done over the past 10-months… Even those steeped in denial have now become concerned that Leaders are unable to show real accomplishments in the People’s interest.
