“It just didn’t make any sense, I thought to myself.” Why would Harry take up his wife and leave the Royal life. I wanted so much for the royal family to have a woman of colour representing. Wow! “After all it was history making.” First a black President of the United States and now a black Princess in UK. Life for black people is finally getting good and we are beginning to be treated fairly as equals. But much to my surprise, I was so crushed to learn that Harry and Meghan left their Royal duties and it didn’t make sense. It felt devastating, and disappointment; I would think, especially to all young black girls who’d dreamed of one day becoming a Princess too and to see it’s possible. And like a door slammed in your face, or your awaken from a beautiful dream, it’s over!

I am anticipating this interview Prince Harry, his wife Meghan with Oprah which air tomorrow at 8pm (cst). I couldn’t believe the backlash from the palace already against Meghan and the story has yet to be told. This is more than just racism. This is a runaway train by the palace, their traditions and blatant prejudice to outsiders. The laws must change. Haven’t these people learned anything from what happened to Princess Diana. The more the attack Prince Harry and Meghan the more the Royals popularity sinks. This can bring them down if not handle properly this time for sure. I was so hurt to hear the new allegation by the staff about Meghan. Not even knowing her personally, but for sure I knew it is a lie. They might as well had said she has stolen the borrowed Tierra she wore for her wedding and maybe a few cutlery and dishes too. They are insulting and shameful by their own actions right now, just when they had gotten the respect and admiration of the world in allowing Harry and Meghan to marry. Their marriage could of worked wonders in their favor.

I am so angry that anyone would believe for a moment that Prince Harry would allow Meghan to encourage him to leave his family the only family he’s had since the passing of his mother, like he has no back bone for himself. He’s an army officer for crying out loud and a decorated one at that, who served. He’s to me a natural born leader and trained to see danger and do whatever it takes to protect himself and others to escape it. He’s always been a free spirit. I use to hear and read of all the trouble he was getting himself into and it sounded like a cry for help or maybe he was looking for where he can fit in. One thing I’ve always realized is the palace always fixed whatever went wrong especially negative things to ruin their family published in the tabloids.

Could it be that the Palace is more upset over the fact that Prince Harry is going to have an American child? After all it is royal blood regardless. How could they have not known for a moment that Prince Harry, if he didn’t get his way when it came to protecting his family at all cost was going to leave for good. Yes, it meant that much to him, plain to see it’s has always been about what happened to his mom. Meghan loves him enough to follow his lead. I believe maybe they wanted to live in Canada, but both were better off in America after all Meghan is an American.

Things should of never gotten so bad with the Prince Harry, Meghan and the Royal Palace. It’s clear to see that even after Princess Diana death a lot of change is still yet to be taken place in the Royal Palace. Really the only thing that they got from everything Princess Diana has been through where they are concern is let everyone marry who they love? Really, that’s all! Maybe they should go back and read her Biography.

Times has change and tradition and things the way it use to be is no longer going to be, take for example with the pandemic we have no other choice but to make changes in our lives that necessary. William and Harry both are the changes needed for the monarchy to press on into the future and make it better than before by doing something different like their mother did. She was preparing them for such a time as now. I can only pray they know truly who they are and what’s really is their purpose. I believe it is to use their status to make positive changes in their lives all surrounding them and in the world.

As I sit here writing, I couldn’t help but think to myself, the importance for all blacks to know the history of our people, from being enslaved, fighting for our rights like if being a different skin color made you not a human being, to be treated like an animal or even worst. It’s sad, because there are animals treated better than some black people have ever been treated, even today. Whenever I think of the suffering of black people I think of the four hundred years of the Israelites in Egypt enslaved by Pharaoh who refused to have let them go. But yet Pharaoh was afraid that they would one day take them over, because there was too many of them. God send Moses to deliver them out of their bondage.

Black History Month is vital to our exixtence it teaches blacks can do great things and be more than just slaves. We are capable of making the world a better place. When given the chance we can excel into greatness and accomplish so much.

We’ve come a long way and still the victory to be won for equality is a continuous battle. It hurts me to know after all blacks has been through, stolen from their country brought to foreign lands and enslaved. Their are some whites, especially old timers who believes to themselves, blacks are so privilege today what more do we want? What’s this, “Black Lives Matter!” Some whites even want for things to go back the way it was when they ruled, and abused blacks, who had no rights. They’d wish blacks to stay in their place of submissions to their authority and control like the good old days. I heard them speaking when they thought I wasn’t listening and I’ve even seen the looks in some of their eyes towards a black person especially the black men, it’s very hurtful. As a black woman, I strongly believe we are not the threat, but our fathers, brothers, husbands and sons are for some reason.

I could never forget this, it was in elementary school the first time I was called the N-word by a classmate and told to go back to Africa which is not where I was born. I could remember it, like it was yesterday, that hurt I felt already feeling isolated being one of the only black child in my class and afraid of being in a new school surrounded by so many strangers and them being all white. I suck it up and said nothing, because I was petrified and intimated. First year in high school, history class, studying ancient humans when one of my classmates after our teacher had given a description of the first humans looking like Apes, Neanderthal man, he turned looked at me and said, “look they are describing what you look like” and the entire class broke out in laughter. This time I didn’t felt intimidated or petrified, my respond was, “why then are you here on my earth if I was here first, no wonder you white people hate us.” There was a silence that you could of heard a pin dropped. The teacher said nothing, but carried on with his teaching after the brief moment of silence like nothing happened. He didn’t intervene to what the classmate had said nor my response. From then on I realized it was all ignorance that people are prejudice because of lack of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. But those two experiences prepped me for the reality I was going to face in the world as an adult because of the color of my skin. It hurt me deeply within my soul and affected me mental because of my innocence being a child, believing that the color of my skin shouldn’t matter, I was same age as everyone in my class. My first experience with racism and back then and I didn’t even understand that it was racism. You’re not prepared for that, especially if it’s not something you hear about or ever discuss at home.

I have no hate or dislike to any other people of different colors, even if they themselves would have a problem with me. I believe God created all humanity like a bouquet of flowers the beauty of it is in the difference types and the earth is our vase. There’s room for us all and it is our difference in color that makes us stand out equally not above or bellow. It is not the same for each person characteristics or personality. When come to the color of someone’s skin it’s like when it is said, ” Don’t judge the book by its cover.” There are just good and bad people no matter their color or whatever. No one human being is perfect except Jesus who wasn’t even fully human.

There’s so much more I’d like to write about, but I want to end this nice and short. Growing up I was blessed to have two white best friends one was German and the other French Canadian my sisters. We saw each other as people not black or white, but family, thank the Lord! And my husband whom I am married to for over twenty-five years also white for the first time in his life learned the hard reality by marrying a black person teaches you as a white person the existence of racism, especially with sons, it’s for real and it’s brutal. Will continue this topic next Black History Month. God bless!!!

Music was once my aspiration. I was going be a famous singer like Diana Ross from the singing group, The Supreme and Donna Summer the Disco Queen. Even though they were black women their voices was not like that of typical black women from back in those days. Accused of wanting to be more white women than black as I remembered was the controversy about these two singers. To me they are beatiful women, I admired and looked up to them as professionals and gifted at what they do, which to me was amazing and brilliant. They not only made history with their talents, but paved a way for the generations of other black women. As it is called today, they are game changers. They redefined typical black women in the music entertainment industry. I love these women and had spend most of my childhood and adolescence wanting to immulate everything about them as singers.

Oprah Winfrey, talk show host, television producer, actress, author, and philanthropist. Also a history maker, North America first black mulit-billionaire, and ranked the greatest black philanthropist in American history. Oprah being authentic herself, as I watched and listen to her, a black woman who broke down barriers where it had at one time seems to be impossible for anyone black to accomplish. I admire and love her for being God gift to us. She is beautiful inside and out; educated, intelligent, spiritual…

Michelle Obama, the first black woman to be the First Lady of America to be the queen of The White House. What a position held, and she did it with such class and dignity. Beside every good man is a strong, intelligent and amazing woman. To me  she was created by God for her role to stand with her President  husband. A wife and mother, also mother to the nation, she took on her responsibilities. She made me proud to be a black woman because she represented us all with such excellence.

Mrs Serita Jakes, wife, mother, author, speaker and visionary, executive director of women’s and children’s affairs at The Potter’s House. Mrs. Jakes, wife of Bishop Tdjakes, what a position she holds. This is a big lifetime commitment to God and her husband, in which she does so well. “To whom much is given, much is required” according to scriptures and she shows by standing besides her husband to be the First Lady of a Mega Church she’s got what it takes. When you’re a faithful person in God, you know that there are natural and spiritual battles you encounter in your walk and you’ve got to be able to put on the Armor of God not just to protect yourself, husband and children, but also your spiritual children of all race. You have a responsibility that keeps you on your knees in prayer and she is ever so faithful. It’s plain to see she is always there to support and comfort. She’s to be lifted up in prayer, and honoured for such a call by the Lord on her life that she does with grace and love. She’s the perfect example like Mother Mary to say to give God consent, “Let it be unto me according to thy word.”

There’s so many influential black women in the world that makes me proud, but I can only mention a few. I thank God for everyone of them.

John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

People we must get it through our heads, there are bad people in the world that has done some real evil things and shows no remorse for it. We’ve got to be discerning. We must not confuse bad for good. Pray for the spirit of truth to reveal if someone is being hated for being chosen by God and not just because of jealousy and envy, wicked and evil deeds, religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, social status, the way you look, dress…and the list goes on. Lord have mercy on humanity.

The character of a person says a lot about them. Read your Bible, see if anything about a persons characteristic you’ve chosen to look upon as a servant of God is like that of Jesus. Remember the devil is not only a tempter, but a liar and a deceiver. Anything that is written in the word of God he mocks, by using it to do evil deeds, by deceiving especially the faithful. But God is not going to let it go on.

From today on the salvation of the Lord is at hand in the earth for all his chosen. He’s calling them from blindness into revelation sight. Are you blind ?

Well I believed once upon a time I could of play both sides. And I saw it as keeping the peace and whatever it takes to get the job done. But when you are called by the Lord to be on his side, to keep peace and attain whatever he desires of you, you must sacrifice. Without sacrifice there’s no gain. It is fear that motivates us to play both sides. But it takes faith in God to allow us to get the victory and to accomplish whatever is desired.

It’s a lie we tell ourselves when we try dancing with the devil and then singing in God’s choir of worship. Be truthful to God and ourselve, because the only way is God’s. Jesus says to take up our cross and follow him, and don’t try to save our life, Matthew 16:24-26. He didn’t say be him, in which we can never be. If it requires sacrifice of ourselves to be left out in the cold by the world, then so be it. Scriptures declares, “what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Pick a side! There’s no middle when comes to the Lord’s business. You’re either on the Lord’s our the world’s. The kingdom of the Lord has come and it is within us all who was set aside for God’s purpose.

As I’ve sat and watched the 2nd impeachment of former President Trump, I couldn’t help but wonder if the result would of been the same if it was President Barack Obama in that position. I don’t want to make it out to be like I am making this a racial issue, but let us be truthful when looking deeply within our hearts and minds with all honesty. A brother with an inferiority complex feels like he would of been crucified if it was him and a white man if racist would feel entitled to want to crucify the black man for his actions. Why? Because he’d believes it confirms, blacks are beneath the expectations of humanity in his being, as he having a superiority complex. “Lord have mercy on us all!”

I cried out to God simply because I wanted truth and righteousness to prevail. I wanted a guilty verdict according to the evidences. I want for when I am trying to teach and convince people doing right and speaking truth, God would be on our side and we shall be victorious over the enemy. I cried, ” God how could you let this happen, when the evidence proved other wise!” I almost fell from grace when I thought then the truth does really set us free. “The devil is a liar, because it was not God’s judgement but man’s.” God’s judgements is seen heard and felt by the world. God’s truth and righteousness opens blind eyes to see and brings us out of darkness. This was all a cover up and a lie by the enemy. But when the spirit of truth reveals himself, the Holy Ghost comes forth, this I know he’ll bring down all the lie.

An impeachment acquital with evidence of undoubtedly guilt. I couldn’t help but think about Bill Crosby, a black man history maker and I cried. His judgement, guilty or not, I can’t throw a stone, for I am not without sin, I believe belongs to God not me, I saw no evidences. It is Black History Month and he’s not mentioned and I wept sadly. Why? Because in man’s judgements they said crucify him for his past, in which he change around for the good. When he was a child he did as a child, but when he became a man he had put away childish things. But, yet he has been stripped from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet and nailed to the cross. He being like the thief that was crucified beside Jesus on the cross at Calvary (Luke 23:39-43) who’d asked to be with him when he gets to paradise and Jesus said, surely he’ll be. In other words he paid his price for his sins, he’s on the cross. I don’t think anyone who had nailed him to the cross remember the ultimate price he paid was the lost of his only son. I pray God deliver him and he’s given a pardon to live out his days so he can continue to do good in the world and make a difference. He can become from a Saul to a Paul in the sight of God, not man. Jeremiah 17:10 “I the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the results of his of his deeds. Lord hear my prayer!

I believe we should forgive each other for the sins we’ve committed and show mercy, as we’ll also want mercy to be shown unto us. Know that whatever you do for others you do also for yourself as well, for the will of God and to him (Matthew 25:40 “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Pray to God for deliverance of deliberate sinners, the bible calls presumptuous. There’s nothing you can do for them other than putting them in the hands of God, by prayer and faith, especially when they’ve done something so unforgivable.

There’s no discrmination when our conduct as human beings not a race, wrong is just wrong we do, “it is called sin people, and it’s within us all, we are born into it.” We all sin and fall short, it’s human nature, stop throwing stones at race.

The promised land filled with milk and honey, still trying to get there concerning racism and equality for all. The ideology of the white supremacist like the many sins of us humanity, continues to fester which has us caught up going around in a never ending circle, leaving us to remain in that wilderness. Until racism is completely eradicated from the genealogy of those who are racists, we’ll never be ready to enter the promise land as one big happy family.

Racism must come to an end, it is a sin. It is giving negative energy power to infiltrate the minds of the weak. When we begin to understand the true teachings of Jesus, number one, God alone is sovereign and second humanity is flawed and is in need of salvation. No human race is more supiror than another. We are all sinners, the reason Jesus came into the world to save us all. If we’d be obedient and follow Him, not each other, we’ll be over comers of all our weaknesses especially the ability resist the devil. There’s an evil in the world and we can subdue it, from our lives. Disobedience is what causes us to sin and the devil, well, he tempts us.

The world is the Lord’s and we are All his children created in his image, whether we believe in him or not, good or bad, beautiful or ugly…whatever! I truly believe humanity can be exactly what God has created us to be, without sin. Consecrate our lives to the Lord, stand together with discipline of mind, heart and body, to be concious of our actions, confess our wrongs and be determined to respect, and accept all people and do unto them as we’d truly want done unto ourselves is the beginning to get us out of this circling in this wilderness of racism. We’ve come a long way, but still a victory for us to completely get, equality.

Not to be ignorant, but has this celebration been getting the recognition needed in the sense of changing lives where racism is concerned? Many American Caucasian believe this to be giving black people privilege because of their color. Some don’t understand the United Negro College Fund is granted for better education for blacks and by no means racist, segregationist. I understand it is educational giving knowledge of the history of brown skin that they are human beings and not just to be enslaved and treated like an animal, especially in United States of America.

Neighboring countries like Canada to America and now recent countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands are all acknowledging Black History month. Whenever blacks are attack by racism for some reason all other race is also affected. Racism isn’t just a black thing!

It’s sad, the thought of celebrating Black History Month, instead of acknowledging all the great accomplishments, every year it a constant reminder of racism, and civil rights movement. The unrest with police brutality, shootings and killing of blacks another form of lynching in the millennium. The blatant boldness of the treatment of blacks in millennium is like lessons will never be learnt about racism concerning black people. It seems like an never ending battle, blacks will never get a seat at the table of equality.

Many of us have the idea of being on the throne comes before the cross. The cross is the work we need to accomplish before we can be seated. The cross humbles and prepares us for a seat next to Jesus in heaven, the throne belongs to God.

Once we realize Matthew 16:24-26 “Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus” our sacrifices enables us to be rulers in the kingdom. We rule not of our own will or authority, but we rule through the power of God.

The throne belongs to God. God is always the one in control seated on the throne and we must understand our ruling comes from God. Repeat this after me, “to see me, is to see the Father, the Father and I are one.” When we acknowledge this we understand no power or strength we have of our own without God.

God stands only when he creates and disciplines; in other words when he works. He’s seated when governing, blessing and listening.

When we think about eternity especially as Christians we think of a life in heaven with God after we pass on. That life in heaven is not going to be the same as it was on earth. Who we are as an individual on earth, remains here for eternity after we’ve passed on. When you’d be looked up on ancestry and history, what do you want to be remembered for?

Legacy can be a blessing or a curse. It can tear down or build up. We all like the positive aspect of everything, all the more reason to be mindful of our actions and the result it can have on our legacy after we’ve passed on.

Eternity of our existence begins from the day we were born especially when recorded. No one will ever be another you. You will always be unique and for this reason, eternity for you will be on earth, but also in heaven as a new and purified you. Your existence has been written in the book of life and the Lord knows who you are both in heaven as well on earth for all eternity.
