Looking Toward The Black Future

At this juncture of time, we have come to the great crossroads.  Decision time.  In that there is much debate concerning the future of Black people and specifically African/Black/Negro/Indigenous people of the Americas.  Without dispute, economics hold a key to our collective surviving and thriving into the next cycle of time in the U.S.  We should be totally aware that as the U.S. goes so will much of the western hemisphere.  This is not to say that with the fall of the Federal Reserve Note as the main instrument for the buying and selling of debt in the U.S. and the world that all economies here in the west will fail, but the will certainly be hurt by the scramble to horde by the U.S.

In as much as economics will be a stronghold for our survival, we have to be clear that health and nutrution are going to determine our econimic well being.  Many of our people live, work and enjoy life to whatever extent they are able without giving a thought to their own physical and mental fitness and how their physical health affects the decisions they make.  Vitamin and mineral deficiencies have been associated with antisocial behavior.  Calcium Propionate used to preserve bread, has been linked to problem behaviors and yet the masses of people pass each day without the smallest of thought about how the food (feed) they consume could be affecting their lives. 

Each day, commit to learning about the body you've been given.  Take the time, when shopping, to read labels on food products.  Increase the amount of live fruits and vegetables and try to buy organic whenever possible.  And, most of all drink water.  Lots of water.  Drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day.  Lastly, and surely not least get fit.  Workout.  And to my more youthful people, gain your physical fitness through martial arts.  This is going to be the most helpful form of physical fitness for more reasons than I can mention here.  By far, martial arts offers the most comprehensive physical workout and produces more than physical fitness.  One of the greatests benefits is self defense.  No people can survive without being able to protect themselves and their families.  One cannot thrive economically and not be able to protect it.  Change is coming.  Probably not the change most of you expected when you voted for our current president, but it is coming.
