Anger is a strange and powerful friend indeed. A friend that will ALWAYS be there for you, yet is too unstable and unpredictable to really be relied upon. Sister I feel the essence of where are coming from, but when looking for solutions to any human problem that friend can be a major impediment. Peace.

a major impediment to what? Amajor impediment to improving our conditions is the lack of Rage. The awful acceptance that this is the way things should be.While I agree that Rage if left unchanneled can work against oneself, if you are able to use that rage to organize and redirect it toward the root cause of the anger then it is a powerful "friend". Africans/black people have been socialized to swallow their rage and that to me is more dangerous than anything.

@OnixIsis Fear is the root and foundation of Anger/Rage. Have you attempted to problem solve while in that state? How can a fearful emotionally out of control person be taken seriously to provide solution to the greatest problem affecting human beings right now (white supremacy/racism). Am I saying sit back and repress anger while doing nothing? Of course not, but to make any decision while in an angry state is recipe for DISASTER! Angry people are the easiest to control and defeat. PeaceSister.

Since I own my rage and walk with it everyday I can say yes I have attempted and been successful in problem solving in this state. It actually provides the energy for me to do the work that I do and make the videos that I do. My Rage frees me of fear because I recognize it as a natural response to horrific conditions. Fear, imo, would be to hide the rage as so many of us do. I say harness rage, redirect it. use it as a tool for empowerment. Don't ever be complicent. - Peace

It is always sad how black men are gunned down by the hand of enforcement; however, we always have to look at the prior story leading to fatal ending. In his story this young man was supposedly using his car as a weapon to the officers and shots was heard coming out of his car prior to him stopping the vehicle. So sometimes when you resist authority or endangering the safety of the public it is possible they will view you a threat. in this case i hold all accountable...

@EmpressAma

I looked at the story, The problem that I have is that people use the "alleged" police story as a way to justify this execution. It isn't normal, this isn't procedure. When is the last time you heard of the cops unloading 100+rounds into the body of white man who didn't want to stop his vehicle? The fact is that across this country black people die at the hands of cops because it is acceptable to do so. Ask Sean Bell, Amadou Diallo, Aiyanna Jones, oh wait you can't. They're Dead!

But by his spirit ,woman.Please watch my videos and if you think this is a joke...you need to read Psalm 149:5-9.

Deut. 32.21..." I will provoke them to ANGER with a foolish nation. " Judging by these comments, it obviously worked.

[RussiaNukesAmerica3]

Believe it or not, whether it be ' black on black ' crime, or ' blacks ' being targeted and/or gunned down by the COPS, it's ALL Biblical.

Love this video. You are an excelent teacher. Sadly those who need to see this probably won't see it. But that is OK for two reasons. 1) If they haven't figured it out by now listening to you won't help. 2) We are extrememly close to the day when God is going to step in a d destroy all opressors,

[blkgirlblues5150]

@thefreshking I grew up there as well. And agree with that there to the fullest. I am older then you and always wondered why we had to dress up just to step in the black church when I was coming up it has changed. But it's not the total answer for the majority of us.
