Reason for Writing: New Ideas for Activism.
1} Ole methods are not working & are ineffective.
2} Let us try something else; a new success mode.
3} Let us Lift ALL Boats--financially, socially &
spiritually.
4} Instead of Challenging the Ole Established order we Will
find much more success when we take on a ``Let's Lift All Boats'' Philosophy
and bring on change in a gradual fashion or manner while thinking of sharing
with our neighbors. Sometimes this is not easy because sometimes issues are
designed by the media and higher ups financially to pit different racial groups
against others. We must work at working
with other people, and also within our racial and other groups we feel most
comfortable with. RELAX!!!
5} Think of Policies that make dollars and sense [cents] --
And Positive, reasonable change for ALL People, All Concerned. Being GOD-Centered and LOVing ourselves is
very important for me personally. It may NOT be a mode that works for you.
6} We have been wasting time banging and beating on Doors
that will never open. Some minds are closed and will stay that way until GOD
finds the proper tools to theoretically open them in a non-violent, LOVing, and
timely Way. Meanwhile, We have to get on with the work of Reolution as we see
fit to.
7} Find Ways to create our own opportunities; create jobs;
make our sources of money and income to expand on opportunity, especially in
so-called depressed or ``oppressed'' communities. We will be a whole lot better
off creating opportunity ourselves than we will be fighting the ole guard and
the ole establishment to get the forward motion we seek for our Revolutionary
efforts.
8} Cool Down criticism [ This is something I REALLY need to
work at myself--and I mean in a BIG WAY!!!]; and find good in a few things our
perceived enemies have where we can work together -- even only if we are in
negotiations or short-term communications-- instead of arguing endlessly over
philosophy, ideology & issues like traffic jams and grape jelly over
orange marmilade--that will most likely never be solved to everyone's moral,
ethical & Human Rights satisfaction. Let's offer more choices: like
they need to at MCee Dees like a turkey burger and a veggie burger instead of
just a beacon, double cheese burger with a stroke--there I go again!!!
9} Cool Tempers and Listen instead of talk endlessly.
10} Find Point Men and Point Women who can work with
different groups, ethnic groups & different organizations TO MEND
FENCES, BUILD BRIDGES AND KEEP LINES OF COMMUNICATION OPEN [THIS DOES NOT MEAN
YOU ARE DISLOYAL TO YOUR PARTICULAR ETHNIC GROUP, RACE, SKIN-COLOR OR THE
ORGANIZATION YOU ARE MOST LOYAL TO… IT IS VITAL IN DIFFICULT AND TRYING TIMES
--EVEN THOUGH WE ARE MAKING ECONOMIC PROGRESS -- WHERE egos and tempers may be warmed easily,
to keep communications open, keep in a positive Spirit and remember we are ALL
really doing this work to create something decent, LOVing, and kind for the
children of the world ...... In my case, especially Black Children....
11} Talk, Talk, Talk; but keep a positive-thinking
philosophy and a positive mind at the forefront of All work in the movement.
12} If you are willing -- allow children to interact along,
within and among different lines of race and ethnicity-- especially Asian,
African and Latin children.
13} Find cultural and artistic experiences that help expand
mental, physical and social awareness & positive, wholesome, &
Justice-Oriented interactions among those involved in The Revolution.
14} Begin to Realize LOVing & Respecting Self is at
the Root of Stability for Our People.
15} Do away with words like ``Struggle'' &
``Overcome'' & we find we have truly overcome the struggle and are on
our Way to Real, lasting sustainable & ethical sharing of the world's
bountiful resources.
16} These ideas and processes are offered as voluntary
guidelines and are in NO WAY a requirement for any financial reward from my
companies.
With LOVe, Peace & Respect,
