Comment on HIV in My Community: Anacostia Gets Tested by Ann Robbie

Ann Robbie — Mon, 24 Aug 2015 01:58:10 +0000

Truthfully, i was tested HIV + positive last 3years. I kept on managing the drugs i usually purchase from the health care agency to keep me healthy and strengthen, i tried all i can to make me free from this disease, but unfortunately, it kept on eating up my life, this was what i caused myself, for allowing my fiance make love to me insecurely without protection, although i never knew he was HIV positive. some days ago, i came in contact with a lively article on the internet on how this Powerful Herb Healer got her well and healed. So as a patient i knew this will took my life 1 day, and i need to live with other friends and relatives too. So i copied out the Dr Odi the traditional healer email address, and I mailed him immediately, in a little while he mailed me back that i was welcome to his temple home whereby all what i seek for are granted. I was pleased at that time. And i continued with him, he took some few details from me and told me that he shall get back to me as soon as he is through with my work. I was very happy as heard that from him. So Yesterday, as i was just coming from my friends house, Dr Odi called me to go for checkup in the hospital and see his marvellous work that it is now HIV negative, i was very glad to hear that from him, so i quickly rush down to the nearest hospital to found out, only to hear from my hospital doctor called Browning Lewis that i am now HIV NEGATIVE. I jump up at him with the test note, he asked me how did it happen and i explained to him all i went through with Dr Odi. I am now glad, so i am a gentle type of person that need to share this testimonies to everyone who seek for healing, because once you get calm and quiet, so the disease get to finish your life off. So i will advice you contact him today for your healing at the above details: Email oyeyetemple@outlook.com or contact his whatsapp number +2348115531558

Comment on Fair Housing, Still an Important Stabilizer in Our Community Today by Skip Perkins

Skip Perkins — Fri, 14 Aug 2015 19:40:27 +0000

Although I absolutely believe that anyone refusing to rent an apartment to a person of color (or the religion or LGBT status) is an abomination that they should be prosecuted, I think the placement of public housing is irrelevant. These people are getting free housing. This is a massive advantage that the overwhelming majority of Americans will never experience. It is only fair and expected that such housing be built on the least expensive land where it will least disturb business, government and the tax-paying population upon whose industry this very housing exists.

In general, I think it hurts the overall movement towards equality to equate the demands of the poor with civil rights. A typical African-American working man or woman gains nothing from public housing. They absolutely can be hurt when their community is infused with criminals. Furthermore, when attention is on these troubled communities, it is not on issues that impact African-Americans who matter (those who are working and paying taxes, the majority!).

I think the current attention towards police discrimination is a perfect example of this problem. It is inexcusable that black professionals are often pulled over for no reason. It is wrong when college graduates are intentionally humiliated by police because of their race. Yet, so much attention is directed at worthless thugs who SHOULD be roughed up by the police. The problem is not that police are too aggressive in high-crime neighborhoods, but rather that too many cops cannot seem to distinguish between regular black folks and thugs. I want the police to hassle drug dealers and whomever else thinks standing on a corner all day is a good idea. Yet, I find it incomprehensible that so many police cannot distinguish between a thug and a black man in a polo and khakis on his way home from work.

Too much attention in general is focused on the supposed “rights” of those who chose to live a life of irresponsibility, instead of fighting actual discrimination and the limits placed on those of color who are doing the right thing (the majority). Discrimination in the workplace, police harassment of decent black folks, and the remaining limits on minority advancement are problems that must be fixed. Public housing and welfare dependency are problems of poverty, not racism. Mixing the two does nothing more than reinforce stereotypes that all minorities are poor, unemployed criminals. That benefits no one.

Comment on “CBCF Perspectives” OPINION: Black Health Matters by BB

Great article! But behavior modification is very tricky and complex. I wonder what are some strategies to incorporate healthier food options/healthier cooking methods in our diets but still allow us to enjoy our favorite foods?

Good Brother,

It is with great to always say to you that I am proud of the many accomplishments you have. I pray that this piece helps awaken eyes of the blind who cannot see the evils of the past in which should not be carried on to the future. One day I hope that we all will take time out to study ourselves and eliminate all evil, all of what is not God so that we may have peace in this world and a brighter future.

Peace & Blessings,

Kenny Williams

Comment on The Disoriented Trilogy for the Black Male Manhood ~ Masculinity ~ Manliness by BB

Very interesting. What comes to my mind is the balance between what is manhood and what SHOULD BE considered as manhood (both of which are subjective in nature). Great article!

Well spoken words of wisdom from such a young mind. I cannot ever know what it is to be black. I am considered to be white, but I have experienced the struggle through my children who are considered black. I have seen their pain, have cried for their hurts, but have always instilled in them their worth. After exhaustive research into my own bloodline, I found surprising results. My great great grandmother was a black slave. She was a beautiful black woman. She was sold/traded to a Cherokee Chief. The Cherokee bloodline became dominant. So my father was considered Cherokee. He married my mother who is white. So could I present myself as black?
No. Native American? Yes. But society considers me white. I have had to fight for my heritage.
I am proud of who I am. But I am seen as white. Through my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, my black heritage has returned. I accept I am white and would never disrespect the African American (black) culture or struggles that have been forced upon anyone. The struggle continues. I consider you family BerThaddaeus M P Bailey. I love you and I am humbled by your presence and your spirit. Fight the good fight. You will overcome.

That article was amazing . I’m a mother to a son who has fallen victim to the world of fatherless black boy’s and I would give anything to be a voice for the future. No justice,no closure but if I could just save one then he didn’t die in vain. RIP BRAYVON LACY!!!!
