Question: Parenting and society’s use of problematic philosophy and bad theology prevent personal growth and perpetuate resentment/estrangement in kids as they grow up to be adults? Today’s episode is quite powerful, ethnographic, and esoteric, entitled “I could’ve been a Usain Bolt or like a Serena Williams but….” The episode features my twin brother Ricardo Mckenzie and Co-Producer/host Donte Nelson and of course Renaldo McKenzie, Your host. We went deep looking at issues of success as it is affected by ineffective parenting and society; raising and exploring the question: how poverty/parenting/society’s institutions use of problematic philosophy and bad theology prevent personal growth and perpetuate estrangement and resentment in children as they grow up. Further, we considered the fact that we were twins but different in our own way and that life is about strategy but that many persons are devoid of that knowledge. We came to the conclusion that we should let kids find their own path; driving home the point that just as teaching must facilitate the uniqueness of students in the learning process, parenting must also account for that uniqueness within the growing process of every child and parents must understand and parent with that mindset. Moreover, we explored the issue of risk-taking saying that risk-taking is not one of some people’s traits (certain communities or families traits) and examined how that may be a consequence of poverty and the cyclical histories people find themselves and poor education and limited opportunities and connections or lack in society in Jamaica and our peoples and we will touch on that one as we talk about bad theology by exposing this particular text of biblical pericope “train up a child in the way that they should go so that when they order should not depart” but the interpretation of the scripture amongst many many many evangelical Christians Caribbean people the family is “train up a child the way that you want them to grow,” and but parenting must adjust their skills to facilitate the child’s uniqueness to allow the child to become successful in his or her own growth and development. We repeated this several times indicating that parents keep down their children’s growth because of bad theology and kids walk away with resentment. We also lift up the fact that there is also the situation where there’s just one parent and the children have to grow up struggling to survive missing out on their childhood and ultimately their dreams. Indeed, the discussions on this episode were powerful and quite insightful as we delve into so issues of human value and ethics from an interdisciplinary lens; lifting up matters to deal with parenting, sports, race, economics, life, and learning, and how society impedes dreams and perpetuates resentment. But the strongest takeaways and points from our discussions are this point: our parents thwarted our athletic prowess and dreams and 2. That post-colonialism provided new freedoms that were met with dogmas rules and bureaucratic phenomena. The topics we raised while contending for these and other matters were: Coco Gaugh, Serena and Venus Williams Mbape, Margaret Court, Billi Jean King, Chris Evert, Navratilova, Steffi Graph and the issue of Race, difference of expectations and how media is changing this. Undoubtedly, you can’t afford to miss this episode, it’s compact, ethnographic, and esoteric!

Zelenskyy: It’s Day 18. We Hold Key Positions. Close The Skies. We’re Going Through The Worst Odeal.

By

In summary, President Zelenskyy said: It’s day 18. We hold key defensive positions. Close the Ukrainian Airspace before it gets worse; Russian bombs have already neared NATO’s borders (within 20 miles).  Negotiations are actively underway between Russia and Ukraine and this has led to the more than 10 corridors that are opened today so that  over 5550 refugees were able to securely leave Kyiv, Kharkiv, Melitopol, Donbas and other regions safely except for Mariupol which remains blocked by Russian troops. They are working on getting that reopened. He visited the wounded and handed out medals today and spoke with several European leaders who assured continued support and shared concerns about the wider implications of Putin’s goals and Russia’s invasion is closing in on their (EU’s) borders. He ended by saying: We are going through the worst ordeal in our history and in our lives to protect the most precious thing we have. We must hold on. We must fight. And we will win...

Police Reform in #America Must include Rebranding the Police ...Change their “LOOK”

By
#PoliceReform Must also include rebranding the #PoliceForce; changing their anti friendly countenance, stance, color,  clothes and updating their car. Their “LOOK” needs to become more customer or #CommunityService Friendly. Moral Authority is a currency that has lost value for Law Enforcement and when a currency looses its value it must change, the state must intervene just as the Federal Reserve Bank intervenes to protect its monetary value of its currency in this case the state needs to constantly intervene in the currency of its law enforcement. But this has never been the case. #Democrats and #Republicans are all guilty of their indifference and soft approach to dealing with and restoring  the credibility of the police. States always seem to fail to act or are too slow to protect the integrity of its people and the currency of its police due to political and ideological differences that has nothing to do with building a strong #Policdforce for all people. A force that ser...

What is the “Ultimate” of All Things? By Renaldo McKenzie

By
What is the ultimate of all things? That we become one with reality and with humanity in all of our individuality. A man said “Once you label me, you negate me” (Kierkegaard). I ndeed,  culture of categories, groups and labels minimize, mitigate and or manage change.  Change is not possible when the people are divided. This “Divide” put people against each other. So that, those in “Power” can remain... panning to their “divide” in effect forming a shield of defense that protect their resolve against those on the other side of the “divide”.  Thereby, solidifying their Power and perpetuating the issues that bind and create strife. Indeed, Power uses whatever tools available to it to get what it wants and to maintain, at the unsuspecting “laymen” who are tricked in putting their membership in a group over their membersip of humanity; and shouldn’t this be a crime to put our group over the whole. For isn’t it the ultimate of all things that we are “One” so that none is above ...
