WE ALL BLEED RED

Okay, The Picture was taken from one of my friends on FB. 

Maybe I'm blind but I look at this and don't see it as something racist. Maybe it's because I don't look at a person by their color or anything else! 

It took someone telling me that a long long time ago African American's were called something with a monkey referenced in the statement. 

Why is it that as we live in this world with our new President who speaks of how far we have come; that we have to still deal with such things like this today!

Am I the only one who feels that we all bleed red blood! Some of which is being poured out now on foreign soil? If everyone and I do mean everyone put as much passion as they do with remarks about this cartoon into things like fixing our current economic problems, I feel we would take a huge step at truly letting go of the past and moving forward as Americans whether you are black or white!

When I found this picture posted it had all kinds of comments. I have friends of all colors and as I said above we all bleed red! Maybe it's just me but I really feel that if we put as much passion into "getting along with each other" and not blaming history on what is happening today we may just find the Peace that all of us seek to begin with.

Understanding what we don't know about is the first step at finding that harmony that a wise man said in a speech not too many years ago! Knowledge is power and we all have the freedoms that we have because of special people who spoke up when no other would lead.

There will come a day when we will know it all and that will be when we face our God as we enter into the gates of heaven. Until then I am being led to say there is a scripture in the bible that says "Judge not least ye be judged" so with this said the next time you feel that you are better than anyone else remember your not. We are human with human emotions that seem to lean more to negative actions these days.

Take time to love one another no matter the color of your skin! Don't blame others for the way you feel! Passion is a trait that can be used to uplift your fellow man or woman! Yes, we have the freedom of speech because of that red blood that has been spilled by many men and women from our past! All of us have a past that needs to be let go and take in what our President said about reaching out to one another and doing your part to help in this time we are in now.

Thank you for taking time to read this note and remember the next time you feel there is nothing you can do to change what's going on in the world today, it took a few people who's skin colors were both black and white and who's life's ended bleeding RED!

Women in Abusive relationships…

Last night was a late night for me as I talked to one of my best friends on the phone for about 2 hours then followed it up with watching MSNB’s Lock up! It is a show about people in prison and early this morning they featured a woman’s prison just south of Raleigh North Carolina. A lot of interesting stories of how these women got there and also the recent statistics of the number of women in prison doubling! 

I am amazed at how many are there because of domestic abuse and defending themselves. You would think that in this time and age we are in, there would be more help for those women to leave that situation before it got to that point! 

I know more about abuse and walking away and how hard it is than I care to know. When I did there was not the support system out there for me. If you know of any women who are in that situation and need to see there is life out there without their abuser please point them in my direction! I will talk to them and let them know it can be done! Life is too short to live in worry of when the next punch is going to come or believe that ‘that’s just the way it has to be’!

So the next time you look the other way because you don’t want to get involved know it only takes one voice to help someone begin a life without violence! No child should have to see the abuse or woman has to stay in that situation!
