Power Controls Everything By Mel

Power is defined as, the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events. Wealth, power and politics have always been intertwined by some Whites to keep Blacks and other minorities from living a comfortable life. Reverend Doctor John L. Selders, Jr. an ordained minister, who serves the United Church of Christ, has a great understanding of institutionalized power holders. Black lives truly matter. However, sometimes systemically that is not always the case. That fateful encounter of Officer Darren Wilson who fatally shot unarmed teenager Michal Brown changed Bishop John Selders, Jr.’s life. When the grand jury decided not to indict Wilson in the shooting death of Michal Brown a strong sense of racial cohesion among Blacks and Browns was encourage to resist police brutality. Bishop John Selders, Jr. argued that the Second Amendment should be eliminated completely and no one should have the right to bear arms. In addition he said secondary schools should assign media classes to educate Blacks and minorities. The mainstream media sometimes will frame a group as mentally unstable. For example, Fox News may label Bishop John Selders, Jr. and Black Lives Matter a racist group to their base where as Black Lives Matter is an activist movement against racial discrimination and black poverty. Within my generation some take politics lightly not knowing that their voice is voiceless which allows some Whites to continue to create abundant wealth towards their group. This furthers widens the gap between the rich and the poor. The dominant society or those who are elected by the majority uses power mechanisms to run governments, private corporations, religious and social institutions. Those who are in power love the fact that certain people are not in tune with politics, they understand that politics is the process that typically decides who shall have what benefits in life.

Don't Thirst Your Way Into The Rejected Pile By Mel

Men, you have the power to change. Your standard of living and philosophical mindset based on thirsty behavior is not setting a good example. Classy women will throw you automatically into the rejected pile if they sense this way of thinking. What concerns me the most is how brothers market themselves onto the dating scene and the assumption they make when they speak to a beautiful woman. Money flashers believe it is a walk in the park that they can get any woman they want. Most thirsty men try to impress women with their financial assets. They believe this technique will force a woman to throw herself at their feet. When fantasy becomes reality or they get rejected they proclaim that a woman is stuck up which is far from the truth. To be honest, no sophisticated female wants to be whistle, bark at or grab in an awkward way from a stranger and I do not blame them. I have a daughter, and I expect men to treat my little princess as a human being when she gets older, not an o

Date Smarter, not Harder By: Mel

Way too many guys pay attention to women based on THEIR attraction level. They will waste their time and hard earned money on a woman who is not attracted to them at all. It's always a better experience to go out with someone who's just as excited and enthusiastic to be with you compared to someone who you have to warm up. You should want to spend time with women who appreciate and value your time. Always pay attention to her action, not what she says. Date smarter, not harder.

BE who you ARE, not who the World wants you to BE By Mel

Life is full surprises. When you’re out there in the field you get a sense that all eyes are on you. That oil to your engine is confidence . Every ounce in your body engages you to stay well groomed, sell your image, build your vocabulary and practice on your art or goals in life. That’s a very attractive trait to have and I will tell you why. The love you put inside yourself shines externally which creates this invisible aura. It creates offensive projections defined as the way you carry yourself or how you interact with people combine with defensive measures such as keeping your guard up and not allowing people to take advantage of you. We all have our moments when we navigate in unfamiliar territory. For example, giving your time and effort to someone who shortchanged you or getting laid off from a promising career just because you challenged the status quo. Sometimes you feel betrayed but let me share something with you. To succeed in life you must fa
