Crisp Kitchen

Crisp Kitchen at 19^th and Market Street has to be one of the best new places to eat right down town in Philadelphia. I had an egg and turkey sausage and cheese sandwich and I realized that theirs is REALLY, and I mean, REALLY good. A better such sandwich I have not tasted.  It was fresh eggs, juicy sausage ( turkey ) and the cheese seemed a bit less processed than I would have thought. I WILL go there again, as soon as I can.  The sandwich along with the orange juice was superb!  Please go and listen out for and watch the advertising coming on Television and BLACK radio very soon! Fresh healthy food is a MUST as we enter the 2020 season! An even better report is that this is a BLACK – Owned Restaurant! GOD BLESS YOU and enjoy the good food.

To BLACK Parents

To Black Parents:

What with our Black children under attack by the School Board and the police in many cities, we have a duty to help parents, even and especially if we don’t have children ourselves.  I study at the Free Library almost every day, as I can, to determine the best, very best plans to make and the best actions to make to bring about our liberation as soon as possible, and by legitimate, acceptable, and timely means.  This puts me within the law, but sometimes harassed economically. This is why I need support from our BLACK businesses as I support them with free advertising on my blogs, and I support BLACK businesses by financially supporting them myself.  I want WURD ( 96.1 FM ) to keep up the great efforts and never stop. I promise to help generate more financial support and sponsorships as I can and do this throughout the weeks and months to come.  I am working towards establishing my businesses to hire some 400 people locally. I thank you for the support I already have and will have in the near future.

Blessings and Peace, Justice and a Welcomed Economic Sharing Movement Forward.

Shen Yun Performing Arts Here Don't Miss It!

     Shen Yun Performing Arts, soon to be at the Merriam Theatre ( February 12^th through March 1, 2020,  here in Philadelphia, looks to be a fantastically expressive dance program exhibiting the Asian culture and respecting the ancient Asian traditions of dance and movement.  

     The last time this extraordinary dance troop was here I missed the show because I didn’t have the $80.00 to pay for the show. A woman on their commercials says ``everyone’’ should see the show to witness its perfection, class, distinction, and pageantry and color.

     If we can have a Mummers in Black face and a Mayor who comes on Black radio here to soft shoe about how it won’t happen next year, we can all witness the beauty of Shen Yun. As our world becomes perfect we must also advocate for an expansive, detailed, and modern Asian Museum here in Philadelphia, so more North Americans can learn more about the ancient history, and present situation of the Asian Peoples around the world. Asians are dealing in a positive Way with having wealth,&  a large population, but lacking in crop production, mineral & energy wealth needed to build and maintain their burgeoning  inner cities.

     Don’t miss Shen Yun in February and try some of the fantastic Asian food at 9^th and Vine’s Sang Kee’s Peking Duck House 238 North 9^th Street; -1 215 925 – 7532 ! See our review on our blog at http://ThePoliticsofREAL.BLOGSPOT.COM

Pastor Louise E. Williams Bishop

An Open Letter from GOD

January 26^th, 2020 Sunday

Sistah Reverend Louise E. Williams Bishop

( Live Long and Prosper ) 

Where and How does one begin to even say thank you for 60 plus years of reaching out through the Christian religion to inform, change, improve, and instill good values in People like myself who should have listened sooner.

A BIG HUG and a Thank you will be fine for a start.  I was in attendance at the Martin Luther Commemoration Day ceremony recently ( Last Monday the 20^th of January, 2020  ),at the MET on Broad Street,  when you got on your well-deserved High-Horse and told us folks about what a man Martin Luther King was ( He still exists in our memories as quite the man to emulate).

Eventually some BLACK historians will look at King’s life and recall Jesus Christ – if they haven’t as yet.

Some people look at King’s life with Coretta and discover there may have been a few things that could have gone better. I choose instead,  to overlook this and forgive someone who made such an incredible sacrifice as to actually give His life for BLACK people who were suffering from the traditional problems we think of when we think of BLACK people as we go on about our businesses of the day and seem to only remember shortly and infrequently.   

What I have notice, Pastor Williams, is that I don’t know KING!.... I go to Professor Tony MOntaro’s class every Saturday ( The Saturday Free School) and meet all kinds of young people from East India, China and Africa and they help me understand that I haven’t read KING’s books ``Where DO We Go from Here, Chaos or Community,’’; ``Why We Can’t Wait,’’;  ``A Time to Break the Silence: The Essential Works of Martin Luther King, Junior for Students ( King Legacy ),’’; ``A Call to Conscious: The Landmark Speeches of Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior,’’; ``A Gift of LOVe: Sermons from Strength to LOVe and Other preaching,’’ ;   ``The Measure of a Man,’’; ``The Trumpet of Conscious,’’ ; ``Thou Dear GOD,’’; ``Color of Democracy,’’ ; `` The World And Africa,’’.

I have no excuse as a BLACK thinker, BLACK radical & BLACK intellectual and activist for not reading the bulk of these books. There is no excuse because I had over 30 years to take the time to read them, but I have not and I did not.

     Be it NOT for your rousing speech- Pastor Williams Bishop -  last Monday at the MET at Broad AND Poplar  - I still would not have listened to my classmates at the Free School ( which, by the Way, meets at 9:30 A.M. every Saturday at 18^th and Diamond Street in the Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia ), were it not for your speech I would not have begun to take the time to gather these important books from the 50 or so books that have been written about Doctor King and read them. These books were written by Doctor King personally and are always more in-depth in insight, authentic analysis and reflective of His thinking and theories more so than all the pounds of other material written about Doctor King. I thank you Sistah- Reverend Louise Williams for your speech and I want to mention that when you gave this speech you were very angry at us children for not doing our homework. Ora Brinkley – the gone, but never forgotten social writer at The Philadelphia Tribune; Managing Editor Claude Harris and His personal secretary Goldie, had the same kind of energy, vitality, vital ness, and vividness of image and character that you still to this day represent and have. It was a good friend of mine, Mr. Eddie M. Frank ( who never misses a day of church), it was He who made sure several years ago that I took the time to discover you after you had already spoken at hundreds of events, gotten elected to office and were on the radio for years, He took the time to make sure I got to one of your events and I thank Him for this. He is not politically oriented, but I thank GOD for our BLACK people who just take the time to sit up and take positive notice of the things we are doing.  GOD walks with you and clears a path for you each and every day. I thank you for this and your generosity a hundred thousand times over.

Special to Will & FAM!

CONGRATULATIONS WILL SMITH AND FAMILY,

On Will’s getting the role as President Barack Obama. This will be the role almost as great as The Greatest, Muhammad Ali.

All The Best.

Your friends in Philadelphia at  University City High School – Class of 1974!

TRUST a Review of Iyanla Vanzant's Master Work

A Review of Iyanla Vanzant’s ``TRUST,’’ from Tracy Gibson.

One thing I have done is work very hard to NOT confuse people about me, what I believe, and who I am. One of my ole friends – Bruce Harvey -  always calls me ``Traceology.’’ I think He was coining a phrase to note that I have a whole school of thought that is part of what I do, say and write. ( I have to mention that some of these things that make up ``Traceology’’ are NOT original, but made up of the ideas I have honed from hundreds of books and thousands of interactions I have had – both negative and positive - with intelligent and not- so intelligent people. Ordinary people and extraordinary people who have helped me heal, grow and be the best person I can be right now, today.).

While I say I am GOD, what you might not know is that I also say, usually at the same time, but not always, I also say that I am no more GOD than you or anyone else. The end of the Malcolm X film starring Denzel Washington comes to mind. There, all who spoke at the end of the film, said ``I am Malcolm X,’’  ``I Am Malcolm X,’’ `` I Am Malcolm X,’’ but they were regular people, or Black celebrities, or people like Nelson Mandela – THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA…..  I think what the filmmaker, Brother Spike Lee, was getting at is that Malcolm X is in all of us who care about BLACK humanity as He did and who want to see a positive impact of improving the human condition, as He did.

Some people say Martin Luther King, Junior was GOD and some people think GOD was back on earth as Malcolm X.  I agree and I extend this to include all people who ever helped anyone else, LOVed anyone else, or wanted our world to be better, or wanted to or did work towards a better world.  At the time you were doing those Blessed things, you also were GOD! GOD is in us and we are a part of GOD.  So, when I say I am GOD I am in the company of you, who are also GOD.

There are some other people I have to mention who have been GODs to me. One is my Aunt Helen, who was a living saint. Another was Maya Angelou, who was a BLACK director, Black actress, and a BLACK poet. If you look up Her work on Amazon you can buy one of Her great books. There are women like some of my friends who are GODs as well, they are too many to name.  My Mother was definitely a GOD as was Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, Winnie Madikizela Mandela, and Angela Davis. Jesus is not the only GOD!

Another thing I noticed is people like Iyanla Vanzant are for sure GOD.  I was watching Her program on You Tube a few months ago and I saw Her exiting a car to go and help some people. I thought for a few moments, that She – a television host, a self-help personality, a lawyers, a highly qualified self-improvement coach  - I felt that She was exiting the Presidential helicopter like President Obama used to do.

I don’t think we give Iyanla the credit She is due. We must!  Many people have read several of Her books, including myself.  One of the best books She ever wrote is the book  ``TRUST,’’  ( Copyright 2015; SmileyBooks; Distributed by Hay House, Incorporated. ) which is on-topic for improving Spiritual growth, clarifying how we might feel about GOD and for discovering how, perhaps,  the way we were treated as children or young adults helps mold and shape our beliefs about GOD.  How, when and where we begin to ``TRUST’’ ourselves, trust GOD, trust  Life, and trust others is at the crux of this book. I found this book to be the most important book She ever wrote. ( I have to admit that I have NOT read Her newer book entitled ``Get Over It,’’   but I plan to. ( I have read about ten of Her books, maybe less.).

From ``Trust,’’ page 83, Second or Third paragraph down from the top of the page,:

``It is hard to describe what happens when you feel the presence of God take hold of you. It is both peaceful and jarring. It is both a relief and a shock. It makes you cold and warm. One thing is for sure, when you feel it, whether  you can describe it or not, you know exactly what it is, and you are grateful. I thought I was whispering, but I must have been yelling. Or maybe I was whispering, because I heard Almasi say, ``Are you okay?  Where are you?’’

``I was trying desperately to tell her the story about the new house. I was trying to express the depth of my gratitude.’’

``I thought I was saying, ``Thank you, God!’’ I have no clue what was actually coming out of my mouth, nor did I care. A few days later I paid three months’ rent and a month’s security deposit. When I picked up the keys and saw the house for the first time, all I could say was, ``Oh my God! What the *** was I thinking?’’ It was clear that the wisdom and presence of God had blinded me to the realities of my new home just to get me in it. What a blessing!’’

``With the aid of a very lovely ``cottage,’’ the home that would be my safe haven for the next eight and a half years. I knew enough to recognize that when you are growing, healing, and learning to trust God at a deeper level, there are situations and circumstances that you must encounter and grow through.’’  END OF QUOTE.

(Dear young BLACK people, please remember that if you are quoting from a book, it is OK to take a quote of a few paragraphs and present it to the public, but always mention where you got the quote from.  Please don’t claim the works of others as yours.).

I want you to read this whole book ``TRUST’’ and tell me what you think. I can be reached at – 1 – 215 – 823 – 9985….. Please leave a message for me.   I am putting this review on my reviews BLOG, for the public to read. I highly recommend this book and hope you will actually buy a copy as I did, not just get it from the Free Library.  Thank you, and GOD Bless YOU!

Tracy Gibson,

GOD Almighty!

Positive thing to think about

Pigs ( BY THE WAY THEY ARE CALLED Police Officers ) verses the people //  Palestine’s verses the Jews  //  Africans / African Americans and / Black Caribbean’s verse Europeans // bureaucrats verses voters //Christians  verses Conservative Christians // vegetarians verses meat-eaters. The negativity ends today. We don’t all become HIV Negative, but we can work towards real democracy, real decency and real respect for ourselves and each other.  Start by working to understand the other side because you, like me are not always correct. Yes, our judicial system doesn’t always work in our favor, but we have to listen to our Black Ancestors and listen to find a new path and a new Way to find ourselves and our personal relationship with GOD, if we believe in Him or Her, or if we don’t maybe we should just find our purpose in life. Working individually can also work wonders if you don’t want to work with others in a group, association, organization or school. Help your parents understand you by getting and being real with them.  Listen to your children instead of yelling and hitting. They are humans also. I know this is not easy.

     As we all think more positively and get along like Larry Holmes and Rodney King want us to. Rodney King was beaten up by the Los Angeles police on March 3^rd, 1991 and there is film video to prove it. ``Can’t we all get along,?  ‘’ YES! An Unequivocal YES!  A MAN can change His mind!

review of COMMON's New Book `` Let LOVe have the Last Word

Open Letter to Rapper / Actor / Writer / COMMON from Tracy Gibson { GOD ALMIGHTY }

A Review of His latest book, ``Let LOVe Have the Last Word,’’

By Common

   I must say I am at least more than half way through Common’s new book, ``Let LOVe Have the Last Word,’’ and I am very impressed.  Examining LOVe from a BLACK inner city perspective – a RAPPER’S perspective – is indeed uncommon to say the least.  

       Always impressed with the fact that COMMON has used more and more good sense to interplay RAP lyrics with a caring heart, a tempered demeanor, and authentic LOVe for BLACK people, I was very taken with His theme to the movie ``Selma,’’ for which He got raves along with co-writer and His partner singing on the song, John Legend.

       But, getting back to the book, I like the fact that anyone BLACK will spend time ruminating, thinking and pondering such a massive and misunderstood subject as LOVe, what it is, how to attain it, how to make in last past the ``jitters’’ stage, how to deal with breakup, disappointments, and actually having someone in your family – like a beloved daughter - say you ``failed’’ them by not being there for them when they were young.

        Below: From GOD ALMIGHTY, Tracy Charles Gibson

``I think you – Common - did and are doing an excellent job as a father to Omoye. While you were away from Her while She was young, you may not have spent the time with Her you expected, but you were like the squeal hiding nuts for the winter in your focusing on your rap career, concerts and professional acting career. By doing so, you made your present and Her present more comfortable and easier. You also gave yourself and your daughter more options and helped make it so that you can help more now and spend more time with Omoye now.  You took time in the past so that your future { now } would be more delightful, and smoother. Working hard in those past years while Omoye was growing up has paid off with the level of success you have now. Had you spent the time with Her earlier, it would have been nice, but I know for sure ( sorry if I sound like Mama Oprah ), you made a better future for yourself, your Mom and your daughter. I know for sure our Ancient African Ancestors – Our Black African American Ancestors – are looking at you and saying ``you have done great things with your time, level of dedication, loyalty, honesty and integrity.  You now have hardly any cursing in your RAPs  - something many, many other Rappers should learn from you and your level of success. ‘’ What else you taught many of us is to prepare for the future and times in that future will be much better.  Please tell Omoye and your Mom this and that GOD ALMIGHTY said this and wants you and your family to enjoy great happiness, balance and the wealth you deserve.

 

SOME POYANT AND PROLIFIC QUOTES from COMMON :

Page 125 second paragraph, of Common’s ``Let LOVe have the Last Word.’’

       ``This is the beginning of the work: consistently checking in on why I’m feeling a certain away, or to see if I’m falling into old patterns again, all while building myself up, instead of tearing myself down, or running away in fear.’’

Page 134 Second Paragraph, of COMMON’s ``Let LOVe Have the Last Word’’

 

       ``Because if you work on consistently allowing yourself to be here in the present, you’ll naturally let go of so much of the drama and negativity; you won’t hold on to things that happen, or hold things against someone for what they’ve done, especially when someone has made a mistake. You become more forgiving without really trying or thinking about it. When you’re present; you understand that that was something that happened in the past; nothing you can do about it now, and no amount of grasping onto the negative energy will change what happened.’’

       I ask that young BLACK people, grandparents and their parents read COMMON’s new Book: ``Let LOVe Have the Last Word,’’ it comes highly recommended by me and is highly entertaining, thoughtful, well-written and helps even me - with a very stressful job - relax and know that our future generations have more of a handle on things than we have given them credit for.

Suggested Curriculum for BLACK men of all ages. Here underlies positive media experiences for Black Progressive males, who want to follow GOD’s path, and make a great life for themselves and their families – no matter what their orientations are.

[4] Blues for Mister Charlie. The best play I have ever read. See if there is a video play acted out on stage available on You Tube. Written by MR. James Baldwin.

[5] Get OUt. This film is about many things, but look especially at the loyalty His friend – an airport security person -- has for Him and HOW it ends up saving His life.

[8] Black Panther.  Look at the cartoons as well as the major North American { Turtle Island } film.  What was the conflict between the two young handsome Black men?

[9] The Learning Tree. Directed by Gordon Parks, a BLACK Renaissance man who was a writer { He wrote the book the learning tree } a director, a photographer and if I am not mistaken, also a painter.

[10] Listen to Jeffery Osborn’s On the Wings of LOVe, and Denise William’s Black Butterfly, on You Tube.

[ 11 ] The next one is absolutely fantastic. Look up a young Bill Cosby on You Tube teaching a Black History class in the 1960’s. Great for Home Study.

There is a 67,000 Pound Gorilla in the Room…

Radio Host Reggie Bryant formerly of WURD and WHAT - once said, and I am paraphrasing here, He said that it is the things you think are true that really aren’t true that are the problem.

You can’t see HIM, but when Common told our country about being sexually abused, one was released.  { Please note how Common spoke of forgiveness and listening to people and being humble. }

 

You can’t see HIM, but when they said we can’t have a BLACK woman on the Supreme Court and made it impossible to have a congressional meeting saying we can’t limit the terms of Supreme Court Justices to 10 years, a BIG FAT OLE 76,000 pound Gorilla got out of HIS cage and started screaming.

WHEN people can’t get food and have good supermarkets in their neighborhoods their shouts of pain and anger are letting seven such 76,000 pound gorilla’s lose in rich people’s neighborhoods, -  regardless of the color of the property owners and the color of the business leaders in that neighborhood - but the gorillas disappear without breaking any windows or killing anyone, but they have made their point!. …

When you have a therapist – GOD BLESS HER  -  who gives you a rather glum look after you spill out your emotional guts and you think maybe nothing will change – improvement is much better than change – IMPROVEMENTS ARE AND WILL HAPPEN AS I WRITE THIS -  you might have to hold tight and PRAY that your own personal gorilla doesn’t get lose. THINK POSITIVE, TAKE POSITIVE ACTIONS, TAKE NON-VIOLENT ACTION.

 

GOD Almighty, Tracy Gibson

all too often

All too often, as my sister AZIZA proclaimed wisely to me, we as Black agitators often forget about the varied and important issues of the BLACK Middle Class. Remembering them and their issues will be easier from now on as GOD in Heaven - a Black woman - sits with me for dinner on May 4th, 2019 Saturday at the New Delilah  in West Philadelphia 40th and Chestnut Street location Indian buffet food, spicy chicken, vegetarian delights, salads, shrimps in a curry sauce with coconut milk and East India thinks properly about Rouldopph Guliana and Mahatma Ghandi: Forever. We can't and must not let the dollar { bill } rule us. Still, there is a financial imbalance I want to talk about today April 19th, 2019 Friday { 3535.57 }. Would it not make sense for a large centralized multi-faceted, un-corruptible, private foundation with public aspects to it and rotating leadership - including grass-roots people from all walks of life, all racial groups, all ethnic groups, all religions, all intimate persuasions, and both sexes { and it must include children } that such be formulated so that every human need deemed worthy and reasonable be fulfilled in a reasonable and timely fashion. Let's take the lack of access to the live arts, movies, films, concert venues and other entertainment venues for example. Middle income people MUST, from this fund have their incomes tripled. From $30,000. a year to $90,000. a year; from $90,000. a year to $270,000. a year. If people make over $270,000. a year they will not qualify for funds. If people own part of the means of production and have over $300 Million Dollars in their personal wealth holdings of more just sitting there, or $300 Million Dollars or more in corporate holdings as profits not being utilized to hire people or do capital improvements, donation to this super fund are voluntarily requested!  People on any Turtle Island { United States } disability or welfare will be able to get eight { 8 } times as much in benefits, from this Super Fund if they so choose to accept such benefit increases. This money will be considered a reparations payment for each and every person with any kind of citizenship in the United States { Turtle Island } no matter who they are including people behind bars or incarcerated or in mental institutions. Certain guidelines and legal stipulations must be taken into account in all instances to ensure the adherence to the letter of the LAW and excellent standards of ethics.  This is leveling the playing field and increasing the nation's access to wealth and the roads to wealth. More importantly, it will allow businesses of every stripe to benefit from the new income, hire more people, raise wages and benefit packages and help stabilize all communities economically. Raising taxes on the rich and wealthy, a plank taken by some Democratic Presidential candidates such as Elizabeth Warren, are retrograde, dysfunctional, and unworkable. Such tax corporate and personal tax increases are handed to the poor as higher prices for consumer goods, and are not helping lend an atmosphere of cooperation, cohesive friendship between businesses and the people, and such personal and corporate tax increases generate resentments and hatreds along party lines that are both arbitrary and useless. Such corporate tax burdens and personal tax burdens also are not helping the wheels of government and society turn successfully, adequately, properly and in a timely manner at all.  Voluntary participation in the well-orchestrated, well-run, responsibly-run Super Fund will smooth things out for us all and help curb wars and animosities along racial and ethnic lines internationally as other regions of the world take a good look at such a PEOPLE-FIRST PEOPLE FRIENDLY, CORPORATE FRIENDLY program.   Regional conflicts, fighting over clean water, fighting over food -- all these issues can be curbed and taken to a PEOPLE-FIRST World Court ( I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE  Workers World Party ) to resolve conflicts long before wars are necessary.  The mastering of running this whole process is crucial and must take on increased levels of efficiency, responsibility , balance and importance as the grand scale and international interests creates new freedoms, helps to block greed, and end-run worthless, meaningless  wars around the globe. Part of this process will help middle income people and formerly poor people gain access to the arts. have you ever experienced being left out when people like comic Kevin Hart, singer Dionne Warwick, or Singer, arranger Stevie Wonder come to Philadelphia and you can't even think about going because you simply don't have access to the money to go? Have you ever wanted to see Billy Joel, Taylor Swift or The Rolling Stones but just never had the money to go to the concert? Have you ever wanted to see a cable only, Netflix or first-run film like ``The Castaways,'' with Halie Mills or special event show or program and had to choose shoes or food instead? Have you ever walked by or seen advertised great restaurants like Ruth Chriss, Relish, The Pub, Miss Tootsies; The Commons; Red Lobster; Little Saigon Restaurant; Lue's Caribbean Cafe'; Quality Taste; El Cuscatleca; SA Café and Lounge; Uncle Bobby's; Kings and Queens Restaurant; Fanta African International and many others expensive restaurants or NOT SO expensive restaurants. Have you ever wanted to go to such places for dinner or lunch and just didn't have any money to go? This new government financial formation will help us all get what we want without so much pain, hemming and howling and even fighting when we should be negotiating and enjoying life. Have you ever wanted to go to something like a Broadway Show like ``Purley Victorious,'' ``The Producers,'' ``West Side Story,'' ``Dream Girls,'' or ``Ain't Misbehavin,'' that visit Philadelphia, or go to an Opera like ``Madame Butterfly,'' ``Porgy and Bess,'' La Travaita,'' ``The Barber of Seville,'' ``Adia,'' but just didn't have the funds to do so? Wouldn't you like to purchase some expensive stereo equipment or flat-screen televisions or expensive camera equipment from Macy's or Sears, but the prices, even on discount, were just too up there? GOD did not intend for us to go to the supermarket and not have the additional $300. we need to buy all the quality, healthy foods we want for our families. GOD wants you, you, you to have the asparagus, already sliced and packed watermelon, plumb organic honey dew melon, organic kiwi fruits, juicy seedless organic grapes, organic bananas, sliced and packed organic pineapple, fresh organic strawberries, fresh organic blackberries, fresh organic doubly inspected cantaloupe, A bag of lobster tails, plenty of fresh-cleaned fish like perch, rainbow trout, flounder, tilapia, halibut, and crape. No putting items back, you can afford them right now because this is true, real, now, active, alive, actual and accepted because we live in a Robust, Beautiful, Blessed, Wonderful, great place called TUrtle Island { No longer the United States of North America. Your budget is not endless, but it is greatly enhanced as you make your Way { 2000 Seasons,  By Ayi Kwei Armah } home from the Super Market Giant preferably in your new Chevy built in Turtle Island unionized, well paid auto workers and crafted by well-paid union engineers of all races. Remember, if you want to stay poor like one friend of mine who I don't and never will understand, you can. If you don't want to burst forth out of the hum drum existence of Middle America you can stay hum drum and not consider your self a citizen of Turtle Island where Native Americans are considered surviving heroes and are not forced to live on barren reservations and where, for now, all I'm asking you to do is read this article over once every three months and voluntarily give a sum of money equal to your federal taxes to the Native American Rights Fund, or less, if you don't have the money right now. THIS IS TOTALLY VOLUNTARY AND I DO'NT HAVE THE PERMISSION OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN RIGHTS FUND TO ASK THIS OF YOU! Tracy Gibson**

An Ode to GALUSHA PENNYPACKER –

By Tracy Gibson

   **Poverty is not a dead end without an opening for escape.  There are people living without shelter right under our noses at Vine Street near 19^th Street right on the way to or from the Free Library, main branch.  They are stretched out laying near and or around a statue of Galusha Pennypacker.  When I see this my heart sinks and I think that we as a city could do so much better. As a nation we in Turtle Island’s North America { The U.S.} could do so much better.   Being ever vigilant is not enough.  We often have chosen the wrong tactics or have given up or don’t vote, or just feel frustrated and head for the bar or the nearest illegal drug dealer.  DON’T GIVE UP! Here are some tactics you might not have thought of:

** Ask and demand that BLACK people in power – the BLACK private sector, the BLACK elected officials, BLACK church and BLACK civic leaders – ask them for a ``HOMELESS UNIVERSITY’’ specifically designed to teach homeless people { People living without shelter} about how to budget money better; how to respect themselves by refusing to eat the poor-quality food offered by the Church Missions and food pantries; cook for themselves; not visit stores like WAWA, McDonalds, Burger King, Hardy’s, Wendy’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Bob’s Big Boy - which flourish off of poor-people’s dollars and offer nothing back to stem the falling tides of poverty - and go to Salad Works, BLACK VEGETARIAN PLACES LIKE HABISCUS AT 49^th and Baltimore Avenue, and Sweet Greens at 40^th and Walnut Street instead or, even better, cook at home, if YOU have a place to stay;; Cook low salt, low fat, tasty foods omitting foods like white rice, white potatoes, white breads, pork, beef and fatty oils { These cooking techniques can be taught at the New Homeless University};learn how also, to stay away from illegal drugs, illegally-gained prescription medicines, alcohol, cigarettes, and the human trafficking culture; learn how to contact people in the community who are responsible, reliable, hard-working and honest – there are plenty – and learn how to avoid much of the technologies that are separating our people and pitting our people against one another; learn inner strength through music and other media choices.  

     ** Making it off of pennies is not an option. We need to introduce legislation that demands the quadrupling of disability benefits, welfare payments, food stamps, and other government plans. The rich will get richer because the poor will have more money to spend on good and services owned and distributed by corporations owned by the wealthy. The middle class will expand. More store ownership by formerly poor people will commence.  Poor people will be able to lift themselves out of poverty. THIS IS A WIN-WIN SITUATION. I tell you, this is not rocket science. My father was a rocket scientist. I know what I’m talking about. READ MORE ON MY BLOGS at http://ThePoliticsofREAL.BLOGSPOT.COM

     **Meanwhile, watch more educational video on You Tube and read more books. (Write me for my book list). The endless mind-numbing and dumbing down of media will turn around as public expectations grow for more diverse and educational media. Watch movies like ``The Learning Tree’’ and ``Sounder’’ and ``Hunter Killer,’’ ``Five on the Black Hand Side,’’ ``12 Years a Slave,’’ ``Green Book,’’ and ``The Hunt for RED October.’’ Listen to songs like those by Caston and Majors ``Light in My Window,’’ and Stevie Wonder’s older songs like ``Living for the City’’ and some of Marvin Gaye’s tunes like ``What’s Goin On.’’ 

     **Get plenty of rest and exercise. Join Planet Fitness when they have a One-Dollar special. Stay there when you need rest. If you have a locker you should be able to stay there for at least three hours when you are on the street and can’t get to the Free Library.

**Also: If you are brave and really angry don’t steal ANYTHING! What I want you to do is go to the supermarket and place everything you dream of buying in the shopping cart and take it to the front of the line and say ``Sorry Miss, or Sir, I don’t have any money to pay for this.’’ Let them put the food back. Don’t do this at a Black supermarket like the Fresh Grocer at Broad and Jefferson. Go out in the Burbs to GIANT or an elite market. They can’t arrest you for forgetting you don’t have any money. {IF WE LIVED IN A DECENT COUNTRY YOU WOULD HAVE MONEY. THERE IS NOT EXCUSE FOR THE GREEd AND FINANCIAL DISARESPECT!} . }  I felt embarrassed doing this but I have done it in the past and experienced a good feeling of taking action that helps make waves of change. Tell them GOD Almighty told you to do this, if they ask questions.

** If you are an activist, don't let them criminalize you just because you have political work to do.  STAY WITHIN THE letter of the LAW don't even JAY WALK or jump over the turnstile at SEPTA stations. Work to keep hygiene up as much as possible. I am not being hurtful when I ask you to take a bath. I have to also. If I had a magic wand I would make sure you have the things you need. Go to your doctor's appointments and therapy appointments and share as much as possible in therapy.  I have to also. Believe me, I know these things are not easy, but they pay off. Sometimes it doesn't take long! 

**Write me with your ideas. I promise to give you credit for the ideas as I am able to. 1 - 215 - 823 - 9985

Gratefully TRUE,

Peace, Justice, Economic Sharing,

GOD Almighty,

Tracy Gibson

OFTEN

``Often it doesn’t matter who you take advice from. What matters more are the goals you have in mind in the actions you take. An ethical person can easily figure out if a person is thoughtful, principled, kind and LOVing – especially through a face-to-face interview or a face-to-face interaction. Always keep good ethical principles in mind when taking action.  NOT revenge, deceit, or deception. Always work towards thinking positively when considering a person’s past record and past history and be fair, considerate, and balanced in your judgments.  This goes for judges at every level, career counselors, human resources chiefs, politicians at every level, staff developers, corporate heads and government department heads and the rest of the public. ‘’
