a note to Robert DeNero


April 2, 2017 Sunday   

Sorry Robert De Nero, I am not going for it! A Major Step Forward!

By Tracy Charles Gibson

     ** I want you to know that this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever written. I LOVe Robert De Nario and I have always carried a grudge against Ms. Liza Minnelli for winning the Academy Award in 1972 for ``Cabaret,’’ against Ms. Diana Ross, for ``Lady Sings the Blues.’’  [Do The Research]

     ** I Am sure you know that the entertainment business is one of the, if not the, toughest, cruelest and harshest businesses there is. It ranks up there with prostitution and drug dealing for pimps, hustlers,  with all the  lumps, dirty dealing, favoritism, cruelty,  nastiness, and unfairness.

     ** I am not really in the entertainment business, but I Am dancing around her skirt, trying to get in as a script consultant, writer, and story-plot developer, executive producer and producer.  I have not gone to college for this, but I do know some people in the business and have my famous mentors in the persons of – living and passed – Ruby Dee, Denzel Washington, Ozzie Davis, Sidney Poitier,  Robert Redford, [Check spelling] and  Harry Belafonte, and Line Horne – just to name a few.

  • What my little Black Angel who sits on my shoulder – Ms Akyra Murry, who was killed by a terrorist at a very young age – what She told me was to get right with that ole feeling of resentment towards Ms. Minnelli and forgive her for taking the Oscar against Ms. Ross. [In my opinion Ms. Minnelli getting the award was a simple case of racism and nepotism because she was well connected to the Hollywood world – her father was a major director and her mother was a major star in the formation of Ms Judy Garland – so she had the award wrapped up before she even started filming ``Cabaret’’. `` Cabaret’’, by the way, was a much inferior film than ``Lady Sings the Blues’’, even thought it was the first major acting job on the part of Ms. Ross. When I saw ``Lady Sings the Blues,’’ I went by myself and was so moved that when I walked out the theater I saw my sister Aziza a block away from the theater and convinced Her to go right back to the movie theater and we both watched it – me for the second time.
     
  •      **Anywho, I never forgave Ms. Minnelli and I carried the burden of that lack of forgiveness with me for, lets see, four decades, at least.
     
  •      **Now I’m releasing the burden to GOD, even though a little Robert De Nero creature came on my other shoulder and said I would be blessed if I just held onto that secret  --  because he apparently made some kind of agreement surrounding the whole mess also – DeNiro, and I could be wrong about this. It could just be another Jewish, or misguided Black or Big White lie, told to me in a very convincing way. I was told to keep my mouth shut.  It appears Cedrick the Entertainer also has something to do with my need to ``shut up’’ and not mention the inequality and / or ask for forgiveness for holding such a grudge for so long.  But another Angel came to me and said, ``this will not stand’’ and forced upon me the importance of saying exactly How I feel about Diana Ross never getting the coveted  acting award in favor of Ms. Minnelli , who is White and was more connected in Hollywood at the time.
     
  •      ** So, when all is said and done, I do forgive the Hollywood establishment  for their racism, but let them stand warned – Black People have found major Ways to end-run around the lock the Jewish community, the rich White elite and the moneychangers of all colors have on the production of major movies in the United States – {which includes international profits as well --  and we plan to make many more movies that are tasteful, relevant, important, current, didactic, socially redeeming, and starring many new and up-and-coming Black actresses and Black actors.   Films such as ``Medicine for Melancholy’’ with Wyatt Cenac and Tracey Heggins – and ``Moon Light’’, the latter of which won the Academy Award this year for Best Picture.  God has a Way of shining through even though we might like to cover stuff up and make like everything is just Lilly White and Peachey keen.
     
  •      ** I also forgive Ms Minnelli  -- to the best of my ability {which may not be totally} because any great reviewer and appreciator of movies like myself can see right through the film ``Cabaret’’, and see that it was a far inferior film and never deserved the Academy Award for Best Actress for Ms. Minnelli in the first place.

     ** I have to say something about jealousy and harboring hatreds and carrying grudges and not forgiving here. My Mother, GOD rest Her soul, Mrs. Jessie Mae Gibson – Thornton, was very bad at forgiving people who did something wrong to Her family. The more I think about Mom, I think this is where I got my inability to forgive some things sometimes. However, I don’t blame MOM for this. She had a GOD Spirit in Her that made Her very close to GOD. She shared this with Her children and I am doubly Blessed in GOD eye’s, I feel, because I have developed a very, very strong faith in GOD that even my best friends and closest relatives don’t have.

  •      ** It will be a bright day when all the fakeness, game-playing and phoniness of Hollywood is abolished. GOD, soon, will also abolish slavery of thought, {where people are actually not even making decisions of their own, but are having their thoughts and even their creativity impinged upon or sometimes even controlled}. [Check out the movie Senterium Candidate starring Denzel Washing and Meryl Strap {do the research]. The casting couch also needs to be abolished. This is where big Hollywood directors or big Hollywood producers or Big Hollywood financial people get to have sex with the next leading lady or the next leading man [and transgendered people as well] in exchange for giving away the prestige of the role along with all the money and residuals for a given role to the actress or actress who gets the coveted role.  Unfair nasty back-room financial dealings, and underhandedly cutting Black people, poor people, and other groups of people who also produce great films, -- cutting these people o ut of their slice of the financial pie is also unfair, corrupt and must be abolished. To this day some people never get their film to see the light of day financially or get recognition, because they are not in with the In Jewish-favored elite crowd of connected Hollywood executives and money changers. This is ending as we speak and as I write this
     
  •      ** So a burden is lifted from me for forgiving. Still I want to see some monetary gain for the work I’ve done and get recognition for the work I’ve done, even though I live a very good life with very little money. I have great plans to do many things to help myself, my male lover, my family in D.C. and Philadelphia, my extended family and my Black People in Philadelphia and as far as I can reach with my social justice work and the work I continue to do for GOD everyday through my expanding corporate involvement.  By the Way, that corporate involvement is changing and has always been as honest and forthright as I can make it with the somewhat limited credentials I have concerning financing, money and profits.  I know a rat when I see one and smell one. I always work hard at keeping on GOD’s path He or She set for me. This is not easy, but belonging to a good Black church like Unity Fellowship Christ Church of Philadelphia puts me far ahead of the pack.  I am thankful and Gratefully True.

A Day of Justice and Peace for the World's Children...

🌐A Day of Peace and Justice for the World’s Children
By Anonymous
 
    It is about that time again. It is time for me – and maybe a few of you – to help me advocate for a Peace and Justice Day for the World’s Children and their various issues. I want to say from the outset, that this is the third year I have done this and it feel exciting and worthwhile as usual.
     There is no other group less enfranchised than the world’s children. Many of them have to live without much I the way of clothing and food; without proper education; and without proper management and authority from responsible adult caretakers.
     This is why we must advocate for our children, the world’s children (and I am especially concerned about Black, Caribbean and African children and the children of the African Diaspora, ) this is why we must get together and make sure they have a day set aside for them.
     This is not a day for cake, prizes and gifts like a birthday or Christmas. It is a special day set aside for Peace especially. Because it is the world’s young who always get the bitter end of the stick and have to fight wars that older people like you and I have envisioned for them. And it is often children who are the worse victims of war because they are the first to be made homeless due to war and the first to lose their parents or their own lives in a war.  They are often the first to be made into homeless refugees due to the bombing of their homelands, war and destruction from the use of guns, armaments, explosives, grenades, warheads, chemical weapons, and other electronic and manual devices that are destructive to humans and the environment.
     Just look at the recent destruction of Syria. I watched a motion picture – a documentary – about Syria and the country was chock full of pictures of spice-filled, vegetable –stuffed, and fashion-laden outdoor shops and stores with fine aged spices and silk and other fine materials more beautiful than one could imagine.  Then, when I saw what they had done to Syria simply because a so-called ruthless leader would not submit to Western charges for his leaving office, I almost cried.  But the real pictures of all the refugees also has to be the story of the children who have been made homeless and the lives that have been lost.
     So, in the name of a new and free Syria, and new and free Congo, and a new and free Zimbabwe – I ask you to write your United Nation’s representative to make May First a day for Peace for Children.  Get children in your neighborhoods involved with their parents; write letters to your state and federal legislators; write local politicians; have coffee clutches and Tea-ins; have meetings and demonstrations. 
     The crux of this movement is to ask the Socialist and Communists countries to not show off their weapons of mass destruction on May first of 2017, but instead to ask that these countries like Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela show beautifully attired children and their parents parading through city streets dressed in White with Peace signs demanding an end to war and destruction.  They are to be joined by children and their parents and guardians in other countries around the world like in the United States (which I call the United States of Native America); and Europe; Africa; Asia; Australia, and Iceland. This can be a magnificent day if we work together on it.
     As we prepare for this Great Day of Celebration, I am asking those who have lost LOVEd ones to police brutality and police abuse to also join in and remember their children such as Travon Martin. Write the United Nation’s Good-Will Ambassador about this idea and express your desire to have a Special Day set aside for Peace and Justice for the World’s Children on May First, 2017.  This will be an annual event and will help to put pressure on both Western and Communist countries to think in terms of Peace instead of war, destruction and degradation.
     As you might know, the photos of the Communists counties showing off their weapons like troops; tanks; grenade launchers; and other such items utilized in war, are actually used by Western powers to leverage higher budgetary levels for Western budgets centering on defense, war and destruction.  It is time to take a word from Doctor Reverend Martin Luther King Junior and reach out our arms in LOVe instead of in hatred, war and repugnance.

When Writing by Tracy Gibson

When Writing


By Tracy Gibson


       **When writing go for something original, honest, revealing, funny, but not spiteful, {unless you are writing a spiteful character} Look for the beautiful in the not so beautiful, the not so beautiful in the terrible or even the ugly. Read everything worth reading. Someone said there are no new original thoughts under the sun. Don't believe this, understand there are new ideas and there is no reason why you can't express new ideas in your writing.

I Find Some Things Very Hard to Forgive...


I Find Some things Very Hard to Forgive….

By Mr. Tracy Charles Gibson…..

 

       **He nor people like him get no financial reward from me, but I will do my best to forgive the likes of and the actual George Bush Senior for the wretched things he did to Black People.  But somehow authentic forgiveness escapes me. Starting with his own election where he vilified Mr. Willie Horton as a shameless criminal – I find fault. Mr. Horton was only responding to the kind and character of wretched treatment He received at the hands of this racist, classist, sexist system we live under in our country. What kind of chances and opportunities did Mr. Horton get? *See editor’s note. { This is a country I now call the United States of Native America or Turtle Island. }

       **I find it very hard to forgive the things Mr. Bush senior did as President, because almost everything he did was working to erase the good work other opposing party people tried to do to bring some justice and fair play to our country.  Certainly Democratic Presidents and Democratic Congresses and Democratic Senates have not been angels who were constantly on the lookout for injustice, fair play and freedom for Black People, as some of our own Black politicians would have us as Blacks believe.

       **But the likes of George Bush Senior was hell-bent on hurting our chances for a good life of good education, good grooming as responsible and reliable North American citizens and as generally good and helpful People to our own Black race of People.  Mr. Bush senior did everything possible to turn back our progress by doing things like starting wars and nominating an unqualified so-called Black man to the Supreme Court who to this day, still sits there wrecking havoc on Black fairness, Black justice and Black freedom.  He was a George Bush Senior nominee, and for this I try to forgive, but I think, to be honest, I fall short – hard as I might try. 

       **So I ask GOD for help in reaching that level of honest forgiveness and turning back my own resentment, anger and finger-pointing towards Mr. Bush senior, a former head of another dastardly organization – The Central Intelligence Agency.   I ask GOD to forgive me for not, at this particular moment, being able to reach that forgiveness of Mr. Bush. I will Pray on this and perhaps at the end of the day I will reach that forgiveness.   I can say this. I should not be punished for being unable to forgive Mr. Bush and their entire family as I saw very clearly that they were Hell-Bent on the destruction of Black families, Black positive and good Black constructive civilization and were exploitative, hateful, negative-thinkers when it came to Black People, and were deceitful, underhanded, cowardly, and even, at many points, boldly stupid in regards to knowing what is best for Black People.

       **If nothing else, I ask GOD to forgive me for not being able to forgive in this instance. I think Ronald Reagan, who signed into law the January 15th, holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr, was a better fairer man than George Bush senior was.

       **If Mr. Bush and his entire family want to go ``public’’ and talk about the injustices, the dishonor and the cowardice with which they have treated Black People over their many years in office, including some of the nasty and wrong-headed things that Mrs. Barbara Bush has said. Then I will try even harder to find it within my heart to forgive their family.  But I don’t see any of them doing this. I see them continuing to carry on the banner of racism, injustice, oppression, and cowardice they have always carried.  And his friend Richard Cheney is the same way!

       **Do you know what is the barometer of my feelings? Look at the way Black People – the most of us --  feel about the Bushes – it is fully reflected in my own beliefs.  We, as Black People, are tired of their wars, their hatred, their inequality, their discrimination, their injustice, their empty promises, and their resentment of us as a Beautiful Black People. All most of us want is to work; feed and clothe our families; run our own businesses; send our children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews to college; give back to our Black communities and our Black deserving individuals; and live a good and decent life in this North American continent called Turtle Island.

 

Editor’s Note: *The criminal record of Mr. Willie Horton was used in a campaign commercial in 1997 / 1998 and shown as part of a ``revolving door’’ that then Presidential candidate Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, freely let out of jail for weekend furloughs or for early parole. Mr. Horton went on a rampage and killed and raped a woman while he was out.  This was effectively used by Mr. George Bush Senior to defeat Dukakis. I ask again, what kind of good guidance, positive chances, and positive opportunities did Mr. Horton get as a Black man in North America?

Dear Pastor Hendon {Needs church name}


March 16th, 2017 Thursday


Pastor W. Lonnie Herndon
Church of Christian Compassion
6121 Cedar Ave.  215-472-9040


 

Dear Pastor Hendon:

 

     ** I have been a Black activist for over 30 years. For just about an equally long time, I have been working on the issues and concerns of Black youth.

     ** I incorporated my company – Brother Tracy Gibson & Associates, INC. – on December 18th, 2006. We use education, advertising, advocacy, Public Relations, Philanthropy, and Black business promotion to formulate work that propels the Black community and our Black youth ahead in a progressive and positive Way.

     ** I want to outreach to Black youth, especially boys, and I would like to utilize some of my free time from my new job to hold a series of three classes . I need meeting space and a stipend to do this. [I have a journalism degree from The Ohio State University and facilitated a men’s support group’s meetings for about seven years.]

     ** I am very good with Black males, because I have an enormous amount of patience and I work very, very hard not to judge them, but take into consideration what they have gone through as a victimized class of young men, and I understand our community doesn’t see them as an asset, generally speaking, but sees them as a liability. I see them as an enormous asset.

     ** Please refer to my resume for further details of my work & volunteer experiences, & my skill and  education level. Here is a brief synopsis of the three classes I will teach with your support and approval.

     1] Thinking on your feet. What to do in bad or deteriorating   (LOOK UP) situations such as Police / Citizen encounters. Seeing a Way Out.

     2] The importance of saving $ and supporting Black businesses and Black establishments in our Black community and elsewhere.

     3] Do you authentically LOVe yourself and your Black People. How do you get there?  What is the real value of ``getting there’’?

   ** I thank you for seriously considering me for a position as teacher, for you church movement. I have always felt that such churches as yours will always be a positive and enigmatic [LOOK UP MEANING] force for our Black community and I commend you for your work.

I look forward to hearing from you in the very near future.

 

Gratefully True,

Brother Tracy Gibson,

the need for closeness from a corporate head.


               A  Total Confession to GOD—My Sexual Obsession // By Brother Tracy Gibson…

     ** I try so hard Lord, and yet, I fail every time. I am under the powers of my own sexual drive and sexual obsession. I am like a child in a candy store – sorry Joseph for the cliché – I am like a child in the candy store even though I don’t cheat on my LOVer, my desires remain out of control as I watch hours of pornography, [I claim it relaxes me and allows me to move forward to do God’s work]  even though I destroyed 17 DVD’s of porn to try so hard to work against my sexual obsession for beautiful Black men, beautiful Native men and beautiful Latin-Black men.  I have failed ...myself and my Black People.

     ** Will you, GOD, will you forgive me? I see the beautiful feet and beautiful stomachs and beautiful faces and incredible sex organs you made by your hand Lord, and I am amazed at my own desires. They seem out of control, and yet, in some strange Way, perfect.

     ** I Am especially titillated by younger Black men, and I give total control of myself over to them. I am helpless, coy, timid and out of control, even though I put forth an African mask of total cool and total control. I give myself to them, through GOD. Yet, somehow, I must remain faithful to you, Leonard.

     **Sometimes I think there is a rapist inside me waiting to pounce out like a Black Panther. Sometimes I think there is a leopard inside me waiting to find PRAY.  Sometimes I think there is a ruthless tiger waiting to find refuge between the legs of yet another BLACK man .

     ** I have a place at Home where I put photos of my BLACK family, JESUS,  and Ancient Black ancestors – including God’s picture [JESUS] and they give me strength to make it another day as I PRAY for redemption, SALVATION, forgiveness, and resolve. I move forward with my activist work and I want to save this world made wretched, by ungodly forces. I don’t know if I will ever meet with success.

     ** I think of my mentors Nelson Mandela, Pastor Paul Washington, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Reverend Jeff Haskins, Reverend Victoria, Reverend Brian Robinson, Cynthia McKinney, Betty Shabazz, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Junior, Rosa Parks, Rosita Johnson, Joe Beam, Joseph Bunch, Pam Africa, Ramona   Africa, Wanda, James Wright, Nebraska Bowman,  Blondell Reynolds Brown, Jessie Gibson, Charles Gibson, Bill Hill, Bill Peterson, Estelle Welch,  Aunt Helen / Aunt Maud, Aunt Helen Peterson - Thornton, Grandma Jessie Thornton, Uncle Ken, Uncle Lionel, My Grandfathers, Uncle Raymond, Uncle Lloyd, my many cousins. I ask forgiveness from you for all the men I have had while I was in search for LOVe, tenderness, intimacy, kindness, closeness,  kisses, soft touches, thrusting in LOVe’s last climax.

     **  Taking off my obsession is like trying to take off my skin or unload my heart and still live. It is impossible. Leonard, please forgive my obsession for lust, closeness and intimacy. I want to make a family with you, but the children I want to raise with you will most likely never happen now that I’m 60 years ole. GOD says never give up on yourself. His / Her hand is the most tender of all and His / Her face is in the faces of babies, the laughter of ole men, the quiet falling of rain, waves crashing against the rocks, and in the eye on each dollar bill the government has ever produced – He / She is totally and forever undefeated. He allows me to walk with Him / Her each day and I am forever thankful.

the coveted Academy Award for 1974 gone a - Rye {Needs editing & research}


April 2, 2017 Sunday   

Sorry Robert De Naro, I am not going for it! A Major Step Forward!

By Tracy Charles Gibson

     ** I want you to know that this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever written. I LOVe Robert De Nario and I have always carried a grudge against Ms. Liza Minnelli for winning the Academy Award in 1972 for ``Cabaret,’’ against Ms. Diana Ross, for ``Lady Sings the Blues.’’  [Do The Research]

     ** I Am sure you know that the entertainment business is one of the, if not the, toughest, cruelest and harshest businesses there is. It ranks up there with prostitution and drug dealing for pimps, hustlers,  with all the  lumps, dirty dealing, favoritism, cruelty,  nastiness, and unfairness.

     ** I am not really in the entertainment business, but I Am dancing around her skirt, trying to get in as a script consultant, writer, and story-plot developer, executive producer and producer.  I have not gone to college for this, but I do know some people in the business and have my famous mentors in the persons of – living and passed – Ruby Dee, Denzel Washington, Ozzie Davis, Sidney Poitier,  Robert Redford, [Check spelling] and  Harry Belafonte, and Line Horne – just to name a few.

  • What my little Black Angel who sits on my shoulder – Ms Akyra Murry, who was killed by a terrorist at a very young age – what She told me was to get right with that ole feeling of resentment towards Ms. Minnelli and forgive her for taking the Oscar against Ms. Ross. [In my opinion Ms. Minnelli getting the award was a simple case of racism and nepotism because she was well connected to the Hollywood world – her father was a major director and her mother was a major star in the formation of Ms Judy Garland – so she had the award wrapped up before she even started filming ``Cabaret’’. `` Cabaret’’, by the way, was a much inferior film than ``Lady Sings the Blues’’, even thought it was the first major acting job on the part of Ms. Ross. When I saw ``Lady Sings the Blues,’’ I went by myself and was so moved that when I walked out the theater I saw my sister Aziza a block away from the theater and convinced Her to go right back to the movie theater and we both watched it – me for the second time.
     
  •      **Anywho, I never forgave Ms. Minnelli and I carried the burden of that lack of forgiveness with me for, lets see, four decades, at least.
     
  •      **Now I’m releasing the burden to GOD, even though a little Robert De Nero creature came on my other shoulder and said I would be blessed if I just held onto that secret  --  because he apparently made some kind of agreement surrounding the whole mess also – DeNiro, and I could be wrong about this. It could just be another Jewish, or misguided Black or Big White lie, told to me in a very convincing way. I was told to keep my mouth shut.  It appears Cedrick the Entertainer also has something to do with my need to ``shut up’’ and not mention the inequality and / or ask for forgiveness for holding such a grudge for so long.  But another Angel came to me and said, ``this will not stand’’ and forced upon me the importance of saying exactly How I feel about Diana Ross never getting the coveted  acting award in favor of Ms. Minnelli , who is White and was more connected in Hollywood at the time.
     
  •      ** So, when all is said and done, I do forgive the Hollywood establishment  for their racism, but let them stand warned – Black People have found major Ways to end-run around the lock the Jewish community, the rich White elite and the moneychangers of all colors have on the production of major movies in the United States – {which includes international profits as well --  and we plan to make many more movies that are tasteful, relevant, important, current, didactic, socially redeeming, and starring many new and up-and-coming Black actresses and Black actors.   Films such as ``Medicine for Melancholy’’ with Wyatt Cenac and Tracey Heggins – and ``Moon Light’’, the latter of which won the Academy Award this year for Best Picture.  God has a Way of shining through even though we might like to cover stuff up and make like everything is just Lilly White and Peachey keen.
     
  •      ** I also forgive Ms Minnelli  -- to the best of my ability {which may not be totally} because any great reviewer and appreciator of movies like myself can see right through the film ``Cabaret’’, and see that it was a far inferior film and never deserved the Academy Award for Best Actress for Ms. Minnelli in the first place.

     ** I have to say something about jealousy and harboring hatreds and carrying grudges and not forgiving here. My Mother, GOD rest Her soul, Mrs. Jessie Mae Gibson – Thornton, was very bad at forgiving people who did something wrong to Her family. The more I think about Mom, I think this is where I got my inability to forgive some things sometimes. However, I don’t blame MOM for this. She had a GOD Spirit in Her that made Her very close to GOD. She shared this with Her children and I am doubly Blessed in GOD eye’s, I feel, because I have developed a very, very strong faith in GOD that even my best friends and closest relatives don’t have.

  •      ** It will be a bright day when all the fakeness, game-playing and phoniness of Hollywood is abolished. GOD, soon, will also abolish slavery of thought, {where people are actually not even making decisions of their own, but are having their thoughts and even their creativity impinged upon or sometimes even controlled}. [Check out the movie Senterium Candidate starring Denzel Washing and Meryl Strap {do the research]. The casting couch also needs to be abolished. This is where big Hollywood directors or big Hollywood producers or Big Hollywood financial people get to have sex with the next leading lady or the next leading man [and transgendered people as well] in exchange for giving away the prestige of the role along with all the money and residuals for a given role to the actress or actress who gets the coveted role.  Unfair nasty back-room financial dealings, and underhandedly cutting Black people, poor people, and other groups of people who also produce great films, -- cutting these people o ut of their slice of the financial pie is also unfair, corrupt and must be abolished. To this day some people never get their film to see the light of day financially or get recognition, because they are not in with the In Jewish-favored elite crowd of connected Hollywood executives and money changers. This is ending as we speak and as I write this
     
  •      ** So a burden is lifted from me for forgiving. Still I want to see some monetary gain for the work I’ve done and get recognition for the work I’ve done, even though I live a very good life with very little money. I have great plans to do many things to help myself, my male lover, my family in D.C. and Philadelphia, my extended family and my Black People in Philadelphia and as far as I can reach with my social justice work and the work I continue to do for GOD everyday through my expanding corporate involvement.  By the Way, that corporate involvement is changing and has always been as honest and forthright as I can make it with the somewhat limited credentials I have concerning financing, money and profits.  I know a rat when I see one and smell one. I always work hard at keeping on GOD’s path He or She set for me. This is not easy, but belonging to a good Black church like Unity Fellowship Christ Church of Philadelphia puts me far ahead of the pack.  I am thankful and Gratefully True.

Dear Top Executive at AT & T:

     ** I hope and Pray you are having a great day, as am I.  I want to thank you for providing service to my residence. I use it as a personal and business phone. I don’t like to write letters of complaint, but this is one. I have a phone that is an AT & T phone. It was dropped and the back came off and we have been unable to find it. I basically forgot about the broken phone because, although the back was lost, it still functioned properly. This was a plus on your part since the phone still worked. The complaint --  however --  needed a new back. Like I said, I forgot about it for quite some time until the other day. I took the phone down town to an AT & T store and told them the situation. They politely told me – at an official AT & T store – that I would have to buy the part on www.Amazon.Com.  I politely told the lady, that your company sucked goose berries, or something like that and was a very poor company.  Why on earth can’t you at least provide a computer in the store where people can make a purchase of official store items, or have someone who can do this for customers? That would be good customer service.  What you do is really piss poor customer service.  I have also been overcharged for phone service almost every month I have had a phone with and from AT & T. This is also shameful.

     ** Because I’m so-called poor, I have to watch every dime of my money and make it count and last. The last thing I worry about is paying for my phone bill, because I really don’t like your company or your company’s phone service. The People who work there are kind enough, it is company policy that is so bad. I just don’t see How you can make People go without a phone part when you could be making money off of the sales yourself and providing the parts service with a smile. I also don’t know why I have to keep paying the outrageous bills. Are you run by some kind of secret society that is bent on keep poor people poor and being hateful to your own customers?  If I could get hold of a Black phone service that had great phone service, I would drop AT & T like a hot ball of wax.  Believe me, for me to spend the time to write this letter is proof that I’m hopping angry about AT & T and the lack of good, decent, courteous, efficient &cost effective service.  You would do well to start a school for all your employees to teach them How to treat customers and How to run a company with some honor, decency and really care for customers properly. It is obvious that our academic system that teaches our top executives about How to make corporate policy is very much lacking in this regard.  By the way, in case you are interested, I usually go to the AT & T store at 16 or 15th and Chestnut or Walnut. No one there was guilty of poor service, they were just expressing corporate policy, which is why YOU are getting this letter.  I also had my phone service turned off just last week, even though I was promised they would not do that. I am disabled {highly functional, but bipolar} and the lack of phone service for about five days was a real inconvenience.


       **As you can see from my new bill, I have been charged $78.08 for another payment on April 27, 2017. Ridiculous! I just paid $107.00 on April 4, 2017! 

     ** I do have to say that your stores are usually light and attractive, and there usually isn’t much of a wait for service.  Your employees are generally helpful , considerate and kind. Like I said, I really hate to complain, but I couldn’t rest thinking I might be able to help others and myself get better service in the future by writing. Please have a great day.

 

Gratefully True,

A message to our Armed Service men and Armed Service Women.


A Message to the Men and Women who Serve their Country, Turtle Island.

By Tracy Gibson..



   I have great respect for you.  However, in the past, when you were the armed and decorated solders of the United States of America, you were constantly misled by our government and made to do a great deal of dirty work to maintain a level of comfort for  the few and the White [mostly], but maintain a level of real oppression and exploitation for far too many people of color and even White poor people.

     I have no real power that I know of except the power of a man in front of a computer and a typing board and the powers that GOD has given me. I don’t fully know How to utilize those powers. If I did and if they were great, the world would be a much different place.

     I ask that you not sit still and allow our government, in its present state and form, to do things that you feel are unjustified, illegal, illrighitious, or unethical without hearing from you as an organized power and an organized voice.  Not just the veterans among you, but also the enlisted and active-duty women and men who want to speak out, they must be able to do so also.

     You have options. You can write letters anonymously, you can petition the government anonymously, you can ask your friends state-side to make their voices and your voices heard, you can buy stocks with your pay in progressive and revolutionary companies, you can buy stocks in companies that are awful politically [discriminators, polluters, haters of humanity, etc.] and make your voices of decent known among those companies or corporation’s Boards of Directors and their Presidents, Founders and Chief Executive Officers. You have a right to make  a ruckus.  I am not demanding that you do this. I am saying this is something you can do to continue in the armed forces and keep or develop a good conscious. You can also petition your government, your congress people, your governor, your senators,  your community leaders, and your families about starting a Peace Time Economy where you would get active-duty non-war, non-threatening jobs that would never find your lives to be in danger.  You must also, if you can and want to, no matter if you are straight of Gay, you must, in good conscious, petition your government to never hold you back for expressing your sexuality in a wholesome, open and acceptable Way, if that is what you want to do.  

  All these things I am asking you to do, not requiring you to do. I also think you must write your new leadership, the Native American People.  Some of the organizations you should write and pledge your allegiance to include The Native American Rights Fund, The National Congress of American Indians; and the American Indian College Fund.  Send them a few dollars. This takes courage. I can only ask you to do this. I cannot demand it, but I feel it is very important, or I would not have taken the time to write you about it. 

     Stand up for your rights. Don’t take losing any rights laying down. Read some good books and listen to the news and traditional news sources less.  You will find yourself having more courage to fight the battle at home as well as find yourself closer to GOD. If you want to write me, you may do so at, BRotheRTRacy11@gmail.com

 

I LOVe, you and Respect your decisions to not do anything at all or take an active role in freeing our country from the grips of those who are trying to balance us towards destruction, isolation and regret.  GOD Bless you.

 

Gratefully,

The Truth about the Truth

By Tracy Gibson   

** Many things have been said about the truth. Ole wise men and Ole wise women have said that the truth is elusive. It has also been said by other People watchers, philosophers, of many races, intellectuals and thinkers that the truth, in war, is the first casualty.  Both these statements are true, but there is one other thing about the truth, at least one, that also needs to be said. In fact there are many such things about the truth that also need to be said.  My Brother-in-law and sister, know, pretty much about the truth as I do.

      ** The Pope of Rome and the Royal Family of England need to listen to some truth because they owe Black People about $20 Billion Dollars a peace and God is about to make sure that money is paid up.  It is for what was stolen in the way of stolen lives, suffering, stolen artifacts and stolen futures during colonization, world exploitation and the oppression of Black People. {I haven’t done the research, so the figures may well be much, much more than that, but we are talking about at least $20 Billion Dollars for each of those entities – The Pope of Rome and the British Royal Family.

     ** The truth is one thing to one person, and a complete other thing to another man, another transgendered person or another  woman.  The other thing about the truth is that children are attracted to the truth like a moth to a flame, and the real truth cannot, ultimately, be held back, covered up, hidden, smothered in cheese or hot molten lava, or corrupted. Another thing I have noticed about the truth is that Black People, most of us, are like the children the world over – we are attracted to truth and we seek it out. This is because we know lies have always been used to oppress indigenous People and People of color like Black People, by the so-called oppressor – usually White People. This is true, for example, like when they called the Viet Namese dirty names when they were our enemy. It dehumanized them and made it easier for us, as North Americans, to hurt them when we were at war with them. This has been done to the Iraqis, Nicaraguans, Panamanians, Somalia’s People, many other People in Africa, -- even the British {But in that instance, when we were fighting for independence – we were correct. ,   They used the same dehumanizing tactic when Black People were enslaved. They, Whites, used the same tactic when they invaded many other countries. Funny, How the truth turns around and is a Big Finger pointed at White People now who are the racist. Truth looks with a very suspicious eye at People who are White supremist also. Truth does not look too kindly at such nasty people.    

     ** The truth can always be revealed as time goes by. Always.  It may take a year or two, or much longer, but the truth is like water. It can melt rocks away, change the course of rivers, or I should say, change the course of time itself. History itself.

     ** When we look at the truth about a country such as what is historically called the United States {Which I call the United States f Native America or Turtle Island} we find a country with way too much blood on its’ hands, way too much corruption, way too much manipulation for the pure sake of greed, money and power. We also see a great amount of racism, and power concentrated in the hands of way too few White men and way too few White women.  This is changing, over time. It needs to change sooner than later, or we are talking about an implosion here among the People. A revolution. Not just among Black People, but against White People. The system just isn’t working. It is deeply broken when a White man can take over the Presidency when He really wasn’t elected by a majority of the People. Truth, I don’t think, will look too kindly at former President Barack Obama either. I think He did some good things like the health care bill {It would have been much of an impossible fight, I think, to get a better bill. But the bombing of Africa was appalling and unnecessary. He made a great deal of Arabs and Muslims very angry for many reasons. Then, they are looked upon as the culprits, not that every Muslim or Arab is innocent either.

     ** There really is a new day coming where the truth rules like a magic dictator, and rules internationally, so no hater, racist, greedy person, or corrupt person can hide under a rock and pull strings with dirty money to manipulate things.

     ** So, that’s basically what I have to say about truth.  For Black People, most of us, the sooner truth is born and flourishes totally, internationally, the better. We have worked for an honest day’s pay and invested, and LOVed one another – the good and great ones among us. We will be rewarded in life, not just heaven.

 

This opinion peace was written by Mr. Tracy Charles Gibson who also goes by the names, The Wisdom Seeker, Brother Tracy Gibson Kokayi or GOD. I don’t really think I’m GOD, but I’m driven to say I am sometimes. I know some People think this is blasphemous, but I ask them to look through their Bible, and you will find that all authentic Christians are suppose to emulate GOD and ``be Like Jesus’’ {Christ}. That is all I’m really doing. Believe me, this is a situation I struggle with. My authentic self can’t be GOD because GOD is all things to all people. If I am the new Jesus, I am really not sure that even makes me GOD or perfect, because if Jesus – who I admire and LOVe very deeply, if Jesus was perfect, How could He have been killed at all.  Wouldn’t He have had to be ``perfect’’ to even His captors, who should have, in that case, never killed Him? Just askin. Please don’t get mad with me. Please come to Unity Fellowship Christ Church of Philadelphia and know that we are able ``to question all interpretation at our church. This is a very powerful thing.   

have space on your shoulders in life.


Have space on your shoulders in life.

By Tracy Gibson

       **Have plenty of space on your shoulders for the angels who went before you and taught you things in life. {You know How they show a devil on the other shoulder? Well, in my case, my idea is to make all shoulders available to Angels only. There is no space on my other shoulder for the devil.  I don’t give him or her that power over me and certainly not that close. You know How they say ``devil, get behind me?’’ Well, I don’t have space behind me for him or her either because GOD walks behind me and in front of me and in me 24 hours a day, and more or less time depending on which part of daylight savings time or time change we are experiencing at any given time. There is no room for the devil in my life.}

       **I LOVe God and She has made room on each shoulder for my Angels. One is Ms. AkyRa MuRRay and my MOM, MRs. Jessie Mae ThoRnton Gibson.  They both sit on my Right shoulder and talk to me all the time. I can’t go wrong. If I do give into negative thoughts like chasing after the wrong man, they will kick me in the ear and scream at me.  The only way I will give in is like I did the other day. I saw a very handsome Black , probably Gay man working at the Starbucks coffee shop on 18th and Market Street. He had on very tight, tights. They were Black and showed off his beautifully round behind. The only way I gave in was to buy a piece of double chocolate cake, which I never buy.  I thought of him instead of my LOVer when I bit into the chocolate cake and I felt guilty with each bite as the luscious creamy cake went down into my stomach.

       **My angels said to me, they would ``allow’’ this to happen because they would turn it into a Blessing for me. Well two or three days later, my boyfriend Leonard – who is my $180,000. A-year assistant – came by and walked around with no pants on. He has an equally luscious behind. I was in Heaven.  I thanked my lucky stars I didn’t talk inappropriately with the Black probably Gay gentleman at the store – The Starbucks at 18th and Market Street.

       **My {SHOULDER} angels, were looking out for me.  They are the reasons I LOVe life. My the Way, Ms. MuRRay and MRs. Gibson are on the same shoulder. They are on the right shoulder and they can’t be moved until I die when I’m 97.  I am only 60. The other shoulder is reserved for the likes of Rosa Parks when She wants to visit and set up House; or Ella Baker when She wants to visit; or Nelson Mandela when He wants to visit or Malcolm X when He wants to visit; or Betty Shabazz when She wants to visit; of Gandhi when He wants to visit; or Ossie Davis when He wants to visit with Ruby Dee; or  Martin Luther King, Junior {I should be so lucky},; when He wants to visit with Coretta Schott- King; or Betty Gains; or Bill Hill {Ole friends}, when they want to visit; or that singer – you know the one who sings Ole Friend; or Chester Himes the writer of Black comic mysteries like ``Cotton Comes to Harlem’’ and ``Come Back Charleston Blue.’’  Or James Baldwin.

       **Thinking like this leaves that negative force out in the cold – like the person who occupies the Whie House {A stolen space in his instance} – this leaves people like him out in the cold. Simply put, this is how you beat the devil.  It is not his game anyway, it is not a game – life that is. It is a challenge, a handful of juicy grapes; a child’s precious smile; living with the Way, the positive African Way, and never forgetting there are Black People who are forced to do without until you caN come on a Black stallion and save them {AFTER YOU SAVE YOURSELF AND YOUR CLOSE FAMILY FIRST}.  {Typos intentional).
