Life Volitions -You Have The Choice

JusMee

In life, you have the power to make one’s own choices or decisions. Find something or someone to inspire you and remind you that your choices determine your life – whether to be happy or sad, whether to look forward or back, whether you go one better, or lose, whether you succeed or not.

Remember, the choices you make impact your life and the lives of those people around you. Look for poems, quotes, or motivational talk from someone you admire to make the right choices; later in life, you will look back and be thankful that you made the decision you did!

Life volitions are tough to make at some point and time, and it can be challenging to find which option is best. In that case, look to a mentor or someone you look up to for assistance. 

Frankly, just talking about it makes a tremendous difference in the decision-making process.

In the end, if you made a wrong choice, don’t beat yourself up about it. Some of the best lessons are our failures in life; that is how we learn. Pick up the pieces, fix what you can, and move on! 

In the words of….The Road Not Taken

By Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 

And sorry I could not travel both 

And be one traveler, long I stood 

And looked down one as far as I could 

To where it bent in the undergrowth; 

Then took the other, as just as fair, 

And having perhaps the better claim, 

Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 

Though as for that the passing there 

Had worn them really about the same, 

And both that morning equally lay 

In leaves no step had trodden black. 

Oh, I kept the first for another day! 

Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 

I doubted if I should ever come back. 

I shall be telling this with a sigh 

Somewhere ages and ages hence: 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— 

took the one less traveled by, 

And that has made all the difference.

Understand What Is Your Purpose

JusMee

understandI never understand the purpose of anyone’s hate carried in their hearts for people of color. They are cruel, heartless beings. And the way they got rich is even more brutal still. But what can be said about a being who is heartless even though they possess one?”

People seldom talk about how primal emotions have pushed U.S. History where race and tribe are concerned. And yet, it has always been there. It stripped the Native Americans from their ancestral lands, forcing them onto reservations, and forced Africans to work sunup to sundown while being treated as less than human.

African slave families and marriages were not recognized by American law. Owners were free to sell husbands from wives, parents from children, and brothers and sisters. Never to see each other again.

Women and girls were raped and impregnated.

Yes, lack of information has its position in all of that. As does greed, as does hate. But let’s now not overlook fear. Fear of pure white blood, getting tainted. Fear of attack. Fear of being replaced.

Fear of reprisal, a situation that gave power to the “minority,” will deal with the majority as the majority have dealt with the minority.

That soon, no white racial crew will be in a function to declare numerical dominance.

Some white people are horrified, envisioning not calling all the shots..not being in charge. And horrific things have a tendency to occur when white human beings — specifically white men— get scared.

Hence, there are more mixed-race people than white people. Hence, Pittsburgh, Charlottesville, and Charleston. Accordingly, the spike in voter suppression. Hence Donald Trump.

And, consequently, a mob of essential white, commonly men, smashing thru the sacred house of the U.S. Capitol. Economic anxiety? Who’s extra economically anxious than Black and brown people? And how many Capitols have they breached?Read More

Senator Tim Scott, how could you say America isn’t Racist? What rock have you been living under?

Wake-up America is full of Racism.

We Should All Ignore Idiots That Have A

JusMee

We should all ignore idiots that have a knack for running the mouth, talking loud, and saying nothing. Sometimes it is so hard to do when the idiots keep going on and on..about one thing or another.

For instance, Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany was called out for hypocrisy on Tuesday for her latest attack on President Joe Biden, which completely ignored the behavior of her previous employer, former President Donald Trump. 

“I think it’s the role of the president of the United States to stay back, not to inflame the tensions,” McEnany said on the air after Biden offered an opinion on Derek Chauvin’s trial.

Then this…

Fox News host Laura Ingraham began “The Ingraham Angle” on Tuesday, calling out the Biden administration and the Democrats for perpetuating “the big lie about America” that the nation is systemically racist.

INGRAHAM: That’s the big lie—systemic racism. Did Joe Biden always believe the nation was racist to its core? Did he think this when he and Barak Obama were elected not once but twice?

 Historic elections. Did that do nothing to remove this “stain on our nation’s soul”? What about the 1965 Civil Rights Act? Does Joe Biden really believe that he presides over a country where law enforcement is essentially a racist killing machine?  

Who knows—even if he’s not the one making the calls on this stuff, he’s mouthing the words. But don’t think for a nanosecond that the leftwing media and activists who went on and on today about George Floyd and they were worried about justice. 

They are not focused on the tragedy of George Floyd. Because for them, he was just a stepping stone to tearing down America. They have to convince all Black Americans that the police hate them and will never be fair to them.

In my opinion…Kayleigh McEnany and Laura Ingraham are half-baked simpletons. FoxNews has a wide array of unhinged idiots spreading malicious lies over the airways.  

Likewise, unbalanced Tucker Carlson and the frequent FOXNEWS guest Candace Owens, a young lady black on the outside and brain-sick within.

Unfortunately, both are a member of the IDIOTS in which we all should overlook and not respond to the bullshit escaping from their mouths.

Finally, we as a group of people will never see everything precisely from the same perspective, which is okay, don’t you agree.

That is if what is said is truth and not lies.

“People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.”

Women Of Intelligence in Science, Space and Math2!

JusMee
Women of intelligence
International Space Station and astronaut.

 

WOMEN of Intelligence..became famous for their contributions to the science of space travel: They had psychological result of perception, learning, and reasoning to succeed.

the first female engineer Langley Research Center/NASA

Kitty O’Brien Joyner — the first female engineer Langley Research Center/NASA. After winning a lawsuit challenging the University of Virginia’s engineering, she was the first woman to graduate from the University of Virginia’s, an all-male engineering school. In 1939, she was NASA’s first female engineer, working on turbines in wind tunnels and researching supersonic flight. She retired from NASA in 1971.

calculated trajectories for Alan Shepard, John Glenn

Katherine Johnson—calculated trajectories for Alan Shepard, John Glenn, and Apollo 11’s flight to the moon. She began working as a “human computer” at NASA in 1953, calculating Alan Shepard’s trajectories, the first man in space, and John Glenn. They requested Johnson to check all electronic computer data.

In 1969, She calculated the trajectory for Apollo 11’s flight to the moon. In 2015 Johnson received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for paving the way for a black woman in STEM. She passed away in 2020 at the age of 101.

mathematician and expert in FORTRAN

Dorothy Vaughan was a mathematician and expert in FORTRAN, a programming language for numeric and scientific computing. Became NASA’s first African American manager, working as the head of NACA’s segregated West Area Computing Unit from 1949 to 1958. She managed women known as “West Computers,” analyzing data for aerospace engineers at NASA.

NASA’s first black female engineer. 

 NASA’s first black female engineer was Mary Jackson at Langley Research Center. In the segregated West Area Computing Unit, she worked as a Human-computer before working with engineers on NASA on Supersonic Pressure Tunnel that blew winds two times the sound speed.

In fact,  Jackson attends graduate-level math and physics classes through the University of Virginia held at the then-segregated Hampton High School to become an engineer after being granted permission.

In 1958, she went from mathematician to NASA’s first black female engineer. Eventually, she became the Program Manager at Langley Research Center’s Federal Women’s Program to hire more women at NASA.

first chief astronomer

Nancy Roman, the “Mother of Hubble as she was known, ” joined NASA in 1958 and was its first chief astronomer. She was known for her work for bringing the vision of a space-based telescope to life.

Hypocrisy Of Bigotry And Racism

JusMee

The Hypocrisy of Bigotry and Racism has been defined as a group of human beings possessing different behavior traits based on one race’s color and superiority over another.

One hundred and forty-one years ago today, March 10, 1880, my Grandfather Joe was born to former slaves Jefferson and Caroline Beaman.

Joe was the ninth child born to his parents 15 years after the end of slavery. As I mentioned earlier, bigotry and racism defined how the treatment. See, they were very dark skin people—field hands and not house slaves.

I know what you are thinking …who gives a good damn?

The answer to that question would be…I do. 

Five years after the Civil War, my second Great Grandfather, Arch Beaman, was 70 years old former slave and working as a farmer. 

His occupation In 1870, the same as he was as a slave.

Arch Beaman, my 2nd great-grandfather, was hard at work when industries were experiencing change throughout America.

Furthermore, in 1870, most men were employed in agriculture and manufacturing industries. Women had entered the workforce in more significant numbers working as domestic servants and laborers in factories and farms. 

While the average daily wage was $2.20, or $43.01 in today’s standards, women and minorities experienced discrimination and unequal pay; and what do you think the reason was?

Answer: Bigotry and Racism.

To that end, my, 2nd great-grandfather lived in Township 13, Montgomery, Alabama, when expanding networks of canals and railways connected communities in new ways. Farmers and manufacturers began to ship goods across the country, and factory production was on the rise.

To say nothing, he likely saw firsthand the impact a new wave of industrialization had on many. While the start of the Second Industrial Revolution brought new wealth for some, it also came with challenges for people of color and women.

By and large, the nature of work changed as machines performed tasks previously done by farmers and factory workers alike. Daily labor took its toll, and employers demanded long hours.

I can’t imagine living under those circumstances.

“Those who will not reason are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.”

― George Gordon Byron (Lord Byron)
