The Heart of The Matter!!!
Caution: Violence
After watching the video involving the death of a
black teenager being stabbed in the city of Augusta, Ga., I felt torn. I was
torn for a number of reasons. I want delve into all the reasons, but I thought
it to be a good time to introduce others to a small truth. A truth that
involves those with broken morals.
First, it
took me a while to digest what I witnessed on the video. Then I had to come up
with a plan on what to say. Initially, the first thing that came to mind is my
first book, The Noose On the Black
Community, http://www.christopher-ty.com/.
Then I asked this one simple question. What is
going on with people?
There seems to be an injustice dwelling upon the
community of those that readily embrace broken morals. Not only are broken
morals embraced by indignant people, but self-denial seems to be at the forefront of the violence we see played out in the media. Let me explain.
When people
are killed by members of their own community, then Hate is the substratum of it all. Not only is it considered hate,
but those carrying the noose are usually the ones’ responsible for the veil,
that is cast widely over the minds of those in denial. In other words, the
breakdown of morals, character and a desultory view of the individual self, all leads to failure. It leads to
failure for the individual and subsequently, a wider spread of failure for those
within the community.
So, when America witnessed the stabbing of Demajhay
Bell, we not only witnessed ignorance among this group of people, but we
witnessed a sickness that has become cancerous throughout many similar
communities. The unfortunate part is that many are unaware of their own
failures. Crimes like this one, also birth a new meaning to the phrase, being or acting neighborly. Could this
be the reason why the word hood has
such a big disconnect from the word neighbor?
Think about it. One of the many definitions of the word neighbor is as follow. A neighbor is “a person who shows kindliness
or helpfulness towards his or her fellow human.”
With that being
said, I’ll let you come up with your own definition for the word, hood. By the way, hood is a word widely embraced by many young minds that are blinded
by the veil of ignorance. Hmmm…, have you ever heard the phrase? I’m from
the hood.
Next, if good men cannot head up communities
and become positive role models, then how does a group of people ever change?
How will this psychological noose become loosened away from the minds of those
that are in denial, readily asphyxiating their lives? The answer is quite simple. There will never be change, if there’s never a desire to understand the
agent of change. The agent of change I"m speaking of, is that of Self.
So, when I see videos like that of Mr. Bell,
or read about black men killing each other (which is massive) it's at that point, the phrase: Black
Lives Matter, makes no sense. It only makes sense as a slogan, in the
political arena as it deflects the truth away from the real issues, that enough black men aren't willing to acknowledge....The truth is, All Lives
Matter.
Finally, we
must understand that self-value is the foundation of human dignity. When people
don’t value themselves, it’s difficult to value neighbors, friends, and others
throughout society. It’s also hard for others to place any kind of substantial value on those who aren't willing to value themselves. Altogether, a devalued self is always predicated
upon the notion of denial (black lives matter). Such denials, will always exist within the
minds of those creating such a lifestyle. It’s further imputed onto the
minds of others, which leads to a malignant problem that asphyxiates those in close proximity. This dangerous spread of denial will intuitively obstruct the mental growth of
others, causing them to only fight against a system, when in fact, the problem
is that of unmade men, who has rejected their own purpose in life. This denial will
continue to lead towards a tightening of the psychological noose and hence the
slogan, the Noose On the Black Community,
will not cease until broken morals can
become morals that have found a way to become mended morals. This will only happen, when men will educate and rediscover the truth of what really, NOOSE their lives....
