The Macho Response: When My Reiki Has You Touched

Starting over.

"First, the history department, where he had a joint appointment, abruptly terminated his joint arrangement. They simply stopped inviting him to department meetings, but never informed him of their decision. Then the dean of the college wrote him a note saying that the college had decided in its wisdom that the tenure quote for Black Studies would be capped at one for all time. This meant, she explained, that if the current candidate came up for tenure as mandated by college legislation, he might well be successful and then no other Black Studies professor would ever have a chance to be tenured. In order to level the playing field, she curiously argued, she would advance the next person in line, who would have been eligible for evaluation the following year. Thus, she reasoned, two (black) people would have a chance to slug it out while the rest of the college would presumably enjoy the spectacle.”

Enjoy The Spectacle.

"When you deprogram people, you force them to think.... But I keep them off balance and this forces them to begin questioning, to open their minds. When the mind gets to a certain point, they can see through all the lies that they've been programmed to believe. They realize that they've been duped and they come out of it. Their minds start working again."

"I was at the grocery store the other day when I was unexpectedly confronted with an adult-oriented magazine located right next to the vitamin section."

"I immediately had to look away from the front cover, which featured a scantily clad, seductively posed, sex symbol. Yet it was only a few weeks ago that I read an article about how this same sex symbol loves to speak in tongues and has to restrain herself from outbursts in tongues while attending church services. What?"

"This is actually a perfect illustration of American charismatic Christianity, where you can say you love Jesus (like the rapper 'The Game' claims to do) and still frequent strip clubs (as 'The Game' still does), or where you can flow in the gifts of the Spirit and become a made-for-TV preaching sensation, only to announce that God told you that you married the wrong woman, leading to a quick divorce and remarriage."

"Yes, this is the 'gospel' of the 21st century, 'Spirit-filled' church of America, where the cross is bypassed, denial of the flesh is scorned, purity is called legalism, and anything goes if it feels good."

"It is the 'gospel' of self, in which Jesus dies to make you into a bigger and better you, a 'gospel' in which God is here to serve you and help you fulfill your dreams, and where the measure of all things is not how God feels about it but how you feel about it (or how it makes you feel)."

"Slavery Should Be Remembered Like The Holocaust"

"It’s your job to provide evidence to back up your claims. And when I say evidence, I mean evidence,...The more outlandish the claim, the more proof you need to back it up; the tighter you need to seal up your argument. If you don’t have it, then, as Christopher Hitchens famously said, you and your claims can be shrugged off without any discussion, because,...the sheer scope of what you’re alleging will directly correlate to how hard you’re laughed out of the room for not being able to prove it."

"Slavery, well, I mean, I don't know how obvious you could be. I mean, all you've got to do is walk down the street, and you see the evidence of slavery in everyday life. But there's a huge silence about it. It's a deafening silence about it. You know, why are the prison population of black males so huge? Why is poverty in that community so huge? Why is mental health, why is education so poor, why? When you ask yourself that question, it all leads down to what happened in slavery because no one has - you know, once it was - you know, once it has stopped, you know, everyone was left to get on with their own devices but without a platform, without a leg up.

And there you have the evidence of slavery."
