The Hypocrisy of African Americans Who Say they Didn't vote.

By Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie, M.Phil, M.A, Doctoral Candidate

There's something I can't get out of my mind since yesterday at the Post Elections Forum held at Temple University' Africology and African American Studies department.

How can an African American professor, sit here in his Ivory Tower and say they didn't vote because African Americans have been voting for 50 years without any progress? When sitting here as a professor came from the efforts of people like Octavius V Catto who was killed on October 10, 1871, trying to get Africans involved in the electoral process. In American political democracy nothing happens without the electoral process. But that's one step and the fight is multifaceted. Some are using politics and others academics while others Entrepreneurial Initiatives and economics etc. It is as if all the work to get us involved was in vain. When our ability to get things done requires real actions still happening and voting is part of thart process. It's hypocrisy to say the least.

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

By Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie, M.Phil, M.A, Doctoral Candidate

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 Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie, M.Phil, M.A, Doctoral Candidate

#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 Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie, M.Phil, M.A, Doctoral Candidate

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 ...
