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

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 the law and no

Take Back Your Free Speech... When Social Media Companies Control You...

I wrote this article several weeks ago. But sadly today it is still relevant. Today I read an article about Facebook updating it’s terms of service so that it can have greater control of your social media content. Effective October 1, 2020, Facebook is updating its Terms of Service to add in this clause, ❝We also can remove or restrict access to your content, services or information if we determine that doing so is reasonably necessary to avoid or mitigate adverse legal or regulatory impacts to Facebook.❞  https://m.facebook.com/legal/terms/preview But when #Socialmedia Platform companies control your free speech by dictating what speech you should & shouldn’t promote, you may consider creating your own #socialmedia platform (or space) and then promote your ideas and thoughts. Your speech may challenge or offend but it’s yours...own it. #socialmedia companies like #twitter & #Facebook are becoming too big for their own good so that they think that they control socialmedia netwo

Are BlackLivesMatter Movement Terrorists? Consequently, is #WhitePower Real in #America?

There is a movement or effort to dilute and corrupt the “real” realities and “cause” of our brothers and sisters who are Crying out for “Help” and “fighting” for change. Tucker Carson and those siding against the oppressed for the oppressor deceives the truth when they describe the real #BLM as terrorists and people who want to overthrow the Government; thereby obfuscating the obvious and clear realities of the oppressed and marginalized.  Carson said recently on his show:  https://images.app.goo.gl/krh8kyYGdannniPn8 Further; #Whitepower Movement is real in America as some are rooting publicly for it.  https://www.instagram.com/p/CB_FdNdBwxR/?igshid=1x8o5zcsilgao So,  TuckerCarlson DON’T GET IT TWISTED; If  “Black people” were treated with respect and as if #AllLivesMatter then there would be no need for #BLM. Do not cherry🍒 pick the #BLM issues to try reduce and discount the need for #change. Youre deliberately oblivious.  In effect, Tucker Carson is being a “#Paid Mouthpiece

BREAKING NEWS!! POLICE SHUTS DOWN BLM PROTESTS IN SEATTLE CITING FALSE CORRELATIONAL CLAIMS AND QUESTION-BEGGING EPITHETS

We the American People MUST start to question and find suspicious, decisions made by our Leaders as some decisions are based in assumptions that ultimately deny and negate our Constitutional Rights and Freedoms.    In Seattle today, Police are clearing the CHOP zone and making arrests after mayor orders protesters to leave. Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best said she supports peaceful protests but "enough is enough. The CHOP has become lawless and brutal.” Barr said in a statement , "The message of today’s action is simple but significant: the #Constitution protects the right to speak and assemble freely, but it provides no right to commit violence or defy the #law,".   In effect the AG and Seattle Police chief have made a decision from a false claim based on a premise that is not been proven to be true, subtly drawing the correlation between the protesters right to assemble freely and their committal of violence or the defiance of the law by said protesters in Seattle

Let’s Make America “Great” Again?

I saw a video that Trump recently released where he talks about being portrayed as the reason for all of America’s current problems. He may be right as the problems of race and police violence and inequality is systemic and historical. But he also talks about Making America Great Again and what it means. But if he is the victim in all of this citing historical and systemic social issues in our county that has been happening way before he was born as the real issue, then his slogan needs to be updated to: let’s continue to work to make America Great. You see to be Great is a #utopian state. A Heavenly idea that religious people talk about achieving. But, Trump defeats his own position in this video that was supposed to question his characterization by liberal media as the reason for our current issues of race, inequity and police violence and COVID-19 but implies that America was Great before... https://www.facebook.com/153080620724/posts/10164913423750725/?vh=e Indeed, Let’s #MakeAmeri

Why You Should Not Rush to get a New Job Right after you’ve been Separated from Work

Do not rush to get a new Job right after you’ve been laid off or separated from your employer. Especially during this COVID-19 Pandemic when you’re collecting UE and or Federal COVID benefits. Instead, now  is the perfect opportunuty to do self-examination and reflection and reinvest in one’s career-life as the world is changing and evolving ever so rapidly.  In fact, a recent PEW study report indicated that most  U.S. workers say that “new skills and training” may be indespensable to their future career life success. This is due to the Tectonic  changes that is “reshaping U.S. workplaces” as the economy becomes more “knowledge-based and these changes are rewarding “social, communications and analytical skills”.  https://www.bls.gov/lpc/ Socrates said, “the unexamined life is not worth living”; and at times the routine and demands of work-life may cut into meaningful time needed to rest, recoup, retool and realize greater satisfaction and value in one’s career and professional life.  S

Why, “Black Lives Matter?”

Come..., Let us reason together: Platos: All lives matter.  Aristotles: But black lives are subjected to most of the violence and abuse in society. Socratese: Well, Aren’t [Blacks] the most disorderly, lawless and difficult in “society”. Descartese: So all Blacks are disorderly then and Other people’s are beyond bad.   Arete of Cyreene: Never the case... all have fallen short and anyone can be bad or good at any given time given the state of their conscience and will.  Hippocrattese: So the point is pointless regarding all Blacks being bad and we are back to the same place.  Euthydemusse: But if you are right and blacks are usually bad, why so and how so, a baseless calculation lacking verification. Theanos: Black people have been the target of systemic abuse, discrimination and poverty. Black people have suffered and are suffering from the trauma of over 300 years of slavery and degradation.  Marrx: So their realities make them do creative things to survive.  W. E. B Dubo

Investing... Is it really the way to Becoming Rich?😳

#Traders or #RichPeople will tell you to #Invest #Money to get #Rich😂... That’s if you’re already rich or already have money or are privileged enough to get access to money such as a loan or inheritance or a gift from your ancestors. But for most people especially those who are #Black or born outside of wealth which is most of us, we will have to work dam hard or do creative things to get money. Then when you get it you can invest to maintain it. So the better advice is: the way to maintain “Riches is to invest money. Because if you are poor and invest the little you have you will become poorer. So Be Wise!  What about the “Spirit of Capitalism and the Protestant Ethic” of #Hardwork and #Saving? What about accessing greater opportunities that helps you live beyond paycheck to paycheck. Everyone cannot be Rich in a world of limited means and resources and unlimited wants and needs. But everyone can live live  meaningful lives with a standard of living that is modest and leads to conten

#Blacklives Matter... #Whitelives Matter. So, why is “Kat ‘Speaks’ ...Upset”?

Amidst this current Police unlawful killings of Black people,  and the outrage from the public and the calls for PoliceReform, a small voice speaks. It is BlackLives that has suffered the most brutality from the Police,  Not white people. Yet we get squeamish at the partial slogan -#Blacklivesmatter and want to be diplomatic, ”nice” and inclusive and say that all lives matter when it seems only #whitelifematter. #Blacklivesmatter puts it into better and a more workable perspective). @Kat Speaks shares a deep and passionate blog saying “I’m Upset” as we all should be: http://kickinitwithkatef.blogspot.com/2020/05/im-upset.html . What a well-Well written piece. I hear and feel the anger and frustration in your writing. Enough is enough you feel outraged. 🤬 . You defend eloquently your position concerning why you only say “Black Lives Matter instead of All lives matter. And conclude justifiably so with a call for absolute resolution on the matter ... violence which can be good wh

#Trump Versus #Biden

I was doing some reading and I happen to put down my manuscript to peruse social media and the news and I started seeing some patterns which led to a thought from which I had deduced that Biden May yet be in trouble although Trump is currently suffering a wound in the 5th round. Because while Trump is down, he’s not out and he is good for playing the underdog. More in this later. But to continue, Biden is ceasing on this vulnerability and hitting at Trumps wounds. #Covid-19, Policeviolence and reform, Bolton’s book, healthcare are all problems that has overwhelmed Trump and his messaging and corner(staff) have not helped him in the way that they should and as such made miscalculations about campaign plans and events.  Sam Chevalier said on Facebook: Now... i am going to say something that will be very controversial, but..... i don't like Biden... i don't want to vote for him, but it is going to come down to Biden vs. Trump. I have to go Biden. America can't do another 4 yea

#If TIKTOK...ANTI MARXIST GOV... was trying to be funny with that twitter reply to my #tweet. This was my reply via twitter @RenaldoMcKenzie https://lnkd.in/gAQG_NJ “There’s no such thing as failures as long as you’re alive. It is a matter of perspective. If you’re a pessimist & full of doubt & lack hope - yes. But, Every challenge provides an opportunity and every misstep is a mistake that makes you more experienced to realize your own life” and “succeed”...

How Philly Police Used Tear-Gas on Residents While Their Elected Officials Play Cover Up

Remember the recent blog I shared regarding “Police Reform in Doubt after Police used Tear-Gas on Philadelphia Residents on June 1 from a NY Times Inbesrihative Report. See the story here if you missed it:  #PoliceReform in Doubt after #Philadelphia Officials Covered up Police Illegal use of Tear Gas By RenaldoCMcKenzie http://renaldocmckenzie.blogspot.com/2020/06/policereform-in-doubt-after.html  In Retrospect, the #news headline should have Read: How #Philadelphia #Police Tear-Gassed #Philadelphia residents while their (residents’) elected officials Play Cover Up. And yet they blame #Trump for everything. Isn’t philly a liberal city with Democratic leadership 😳. I’m telling you the problem of race and police violence goes beyond Political Party. The Democrats are just as responsible as GOP. We will not apologize or be easy on Philly because they’re liberal or predominantly Black. The issues of Police Violence and unaccountability is beyond party lines, it’s everywhere where Black or

“What If”... I’m not Black, What If” All this #BLM Stuff Offends Me?

In the Midst of the Cry to Save #Blacklives from #Policebrutality, comes a big bold dissenting voice challenging #Reform and the #BLM.  Elton Milton #tweeted a comment in response to my post on #Twitter “What is the Ultimate of All Things”. https://twitter.com/renaldomckenzie/status/1275982497273217024?s=21 .  Elton wrote: What if I've never been a bigot?What if I'm  not black?What if I've  been decrimanated against many times? What if no one ever stood up for my rights? What if all this BLM stuff offends me for those reasons?What if this current hate centered movement Is unjust to some? WHAT IF??? I responded saying: It is written that When Cain Killed Abel, God asked of Cain “...where is Thy brother?” Cain responded: “...Am I my brother’s Keeper. And it is written that There was a Man a Traveller a Jew who was beaten up and left for dead, several of his brothers, passed him by the wayside without offering help but excuses.

#EU Reopens July 1: #China Welcomed, #USA Banned...

Remember how #Trump blamed #China for the #COVID-19. In fact at one point it was called the Chinese disease. The US even banned #China at one point. Well I have news for you: #Friday The #EU will bar most travelers from the #USA #Russia & other countries considered too risky because they have not controlled the #coronavirus. But travelers from countries Like #China, not overwhelmed by the #COVID19 will be welcomed when #EU reopens July 1.

#PoliceReform in Doubt after #Philadelphia Officials Covered up Police Illegal use of Tear Gas

#Philadelphia #CoverUp #Policeviolence  #Newyorktimes reports that #Philadelphia Officials Apologize’: #Philadelphia Officials Announce Changes After Protest Response. The move came hours after a #NewYorkTimes video revealed that the Philly police had violated their own protocols during a response to a protest in June, even after the protesters had complied. See video Link below: https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000007174941/philadelphia-tear-gas-george-floyd-protests.html?referringSource=articleShare #Question: If the #Media in #NewYork didn’t privately investigate and ascertain this story their would be no apology. It took this report for the #Philadelphia Officials to act. Absolutely ridiculous this is Exactly what we are talking about. This cover up and lack of accountability and responsibility. Not even the local news in Philly had this but New York Times. You see why Black people and the #BLM are suspicious of the talk about Reform because after the talk nothing happens just c

Sometimes it’s good to step on toes, because it is then that you will get a squeal

Sometimes it’s good to step on toes, because it is then that you will get a squeal.  And, is it not true that it is in stirring the pot that you at times will find movement that effect sweet change.  Criticism and Protestation, through words or action facilitates Thinking which is not easy, it is critical, challenges previous thought and creates opportunities for positive and effective change. My comments and posts may be troubling and questioning but is designed to create ripples of critical thought so that we can think and re-think what we thought. 

Work Smart not Hard.

Jon Youshaei says “...there's a difference between working hard and working smart” (Via LinkedIn). June 25, 2020). Thx but may we also consider that #Working hard does not negate the wisdom to do so with Smarts and wits. Don’t make an issue out of it. #Work smart as you #work hard. In fact you must also work within a context that facilitate working smart without working hard. But when you have one manager in an office doing all the work that 10-15 people did then you may have some problems. Either way to meet goals at work one may need to be smart, not to cheat or find loop holes to getting the job done. I’d say Rely on your team and always continue to work hard and be smart about it:  Balancing the joys of life within a hectic high-volume and rapidly changing

“If “We” Dont Get What We “Want” we will Burn Down the #System.”

The Black Lives Movement of Geeatwe NYC Hawk Newsome according to Fox said that “If we don’t get what we want we will burn down the system”. https://images.app.goo.gl/ZCktqXnTRVgv1mZn8 There’s a difference between wants and need. What “we” want? Now I believe there is some traction in the right direction but there has to be more and then to be seen. There is still this dialogue between police and community that must happen and there must be a focus on healing as well. Then there has to be community engagement before a smart pants in the house just meet in chambers push out a bill without having deliberate and meaningful discussions with their constituents. Now we cant allow the conversation of change and reform to delve into them vs Us and threats of violence; we only dumb down the arguments and process of change and redraw battle lines as if to brace for civil war. Further when you Burn everything down, what and who is... left? Change won’t happen, effective and lucrative and lasting

Case Story: Thy...How Hard is it to Confess and Make Amends?

I have been doing much reflecting since Thy bout with death. Well I thought it was a near death experience having a gun pulled right at thee by He, the hands of an enraged “black” young hood Man just days ago. In my mind Thy is still begging for Thy’s life, but at times Thy felt as though Thy should have been shot at and Thy would not have made a “sound”. Thy ended up being the victim out of all of this but was at first the prey. When all was said and done He who had held the gun became the target of much confrontation and contention as he had done this awful thing. But the action had warrant the crime. And It was Thy who had wronged first... and now Thy holds the gun and He must now surrender an apology from what any man who oppose such advances would pull a gun to do. I feel that this sin could bite and Thy must now ask God for his forgiveness and Face Him to whom Thy must surrender. Thy can only accept an apology and confess. But is Thy Man enough to do so.... And can Thy bear the c
