Health Care is a learned behavior, just like academics

3/18/2010

Health is learned and is a Preventative exercise when your young, therefore when you are young, preventative Health Care has to be the focus and when you reach the ages of 40 to 45, Health care must be Medicare to keep a health learned population healthier.

Preventative medicine must be the practice, Arrestee Medicine Model, this Sick Care Model isn’t working and we see it’s not working. We have to have after 40 or 45 what has been learned and practiced from our youth, it will make Health Care out comes less expensive.

When I was in school from pre-school and kiddy garden and yes there was Thither Ball, Kick Ball, Dodge Ball, Rope Claims, the practice was to get the children, youth out side, or in the gym to exercise, a simple practice that instilled in me working out my body.

We all know those practices were casualties with Politicians and Politics, School Boards and City Councils. We now have little no Physical Education, I was fortunate to still have Phi-Ed, in high schools, I swam, ran track, played Football, Tennis and later after attending my 12th grade, I worked out and still played Basketball and Tennis and swam.

But work and building a life all of these became too expensive to afford, so I did as much excises at home as possible, but time and families left little and with life and vices, it diminished to little and none.

We have to get our Treasures back into Physical Education, we must do this, by any means necessary, we must do this for our Nations survival, it is imperative we reverse this decline in HEALTH.


Education is backwards

We put the OUTCOME all on the Teachers and Money and that’s wrong headed. I say this because the Child is forced to go to school, or be schooled, even in Home schooled, but you as a child are legislated to attend for more hours in a day, then you interact with your parents.
You say today Mr. President; we made Historic Votes for Social Security and Civil Rights and the Voting Rights Act, one making sure our elderly can live out their year… not in poverty and the others, making sure all Americans are treated equal in the eyes of the law… well, well, well, so what was the recent Senate vote for the present disparity of the American law for Powder Cocaine and Crack Cocaine, how has that LAW, LAWS ever been equal in the eyes of the law for all… all Americans?

I ask this and I want an answer, please sir, please answer this, it important and the right thing has been long in waiting for thousands of Americans and millions are waiting for equal JUSTICE.

At last count 75 Thousand Americans have been unjustly sentenced, under these unequal Laws and minorities have been, grossly subject too these disparity in American LAWS.

I ask you, no, no I demand the Laws be equal, no more incremental changes like the 100 to 1 disparity suffered by Americans, to the unequal 18 to 1, it is still a weak continuance of UNEQUAL JUSTICE and it shall not stand any longer, I’ am holding my elected representatives too this equal justice for all standard, for every American under LAW.

Unequal justice for one, for any American is Injustice for ALL Americans. If you’ve come too, 18 to 1, from 100 to 1, you can got the rest of the way too EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL AMERICANS, the 17 points to equal and it petty if you cannot go the whole way too equal justice.

Get the 17 points done, NOW

Let the HATE Rip

Let’s be real about the leaked campaign, by Michael Steel and Republicans and Conservatives, they are behind the scenes, saying: they hate Obama and Democrats and want the strongest possible campaign to reflect that, so Steel pulled out a few stops and let the HATE RIP.

3/28/2010

Bruce H. Scroggins

I’ am going to ask, how many believe it’s something like I’ve described, or a close approximation.

Dick & Liz Family business Cheney’s have no such filter, they let their disgust and contemptuous hatred go at every interview and get plenty of air time to do exactly that, hate on Obama and Democrats.

Glen Beck, Pope Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Conservative Talk Radio and then theirs the back benchers, like Palin, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, John Kyle and the like.

Next we have the low life’s, whose every word is tinged with pure Racist hate, with a smile on their faces, Like Tom Tancredo and Tea Party members, mixed with their Haters and Para Military’s groups, Militia’s and all of them have lobbyist supporting this and throwing bombs, like Dick Army.

I’ am positive I left out many others players in this clear concerted effort to destroy anything Obama and Democratic Party.

The collective PUSH to, scrap Democrats and Republicans Amendments in the HCR Bills, passed by both Houses of Congress, is not a mistake. The United No and doing nothing but blocking, slowing done, weakening and watering down HCR, was a effort, The Nation, did not see was done by both Parties, both parties. Think, think, the Nation, only see’s the Bills as Democratic Bills, when the truth is; Republicans have hundreds of Amendment and planks in both Bill that passed Congress, but no one makes the case about the by-partisan make up of the Bills, they only see democrats getting them passed.

FACTUAL TRUTH: The Media, has not made the point of Republicans shaping the Bills, only that Republicans refused to vote for their passage, this has to change and the case made, at every Media, stop, by DEMOCRATS, so the Nation, see’s and hears the TRUTH, Republicans are hiding from, stop letting Republicans hide from their full responsibility.

Republicans, Have shaped the Bill’s as much as Democrats, but by, refusing to vote for even their own input, Planks and Amendments and Uniting to deliver no votes on passage, they have put all the bills on Democrats. Republicans have weakened the Bills and made them, unpalatable to the American people while selling the Bills as all

Democrats and one sided and not Republicans, don’t we get that and why aren’t, we selling Republicans input and responsibility.

Republicans have hundreds of Amendment and planks in both Bill that passed Congress, but no one makes the case about the by-partisan make up of the Bills, they only see democrats getting them passed.”


And each time these Conservatives, decry HCR, we should make it clear they have as much responsibility for the Bills as Democrats and if they persist, Democrats should suggest, we take out all the planks and amendments, Republicans wanted and got in the Bills… then and then only will Democrats have a PURLY DEMOCRATIC PARTY BILL, it’s NOT, stop acting and reacting like it is.

Re; Post

Letter from a college student:
  

The other day, a friend of mine visited me in the lobby of my dorm just to chat while her laundry was drying. As we were chatting, two young freshmen came by. One of the 2 boys wanted to 'talk' to my friend (as in date). She asked him how old they were, and both of the boys replied 18. My friend and I both laughed hysterically because we are both 22 years old. 
  

After my friend left, the young men were still hanging around and one wanted to know how he could gain her interest. 
   

The first thing I told him to do was to pull up his pants! He asked why, and then said he liked saggin' his pants. I told him to come over to my computer and spell the word saggin'. Then I told him to write the word saggin' backwards.. 
  
S-A-G-G-I-N 
  
N-I-G- G-A-S 
  
I told him the origin of that look was from centuries ago. It was the intent of slave owners to demoralize the field workers by forbidding them to wear a belt as they worked in the fields or at any other rigorous job. In addition, men in prison wore their pants low when they were 'spoken for'. The other reason their pants looked like that was they were not allowed to have belts because prisoners were likely to try to commit suicide. And, saggin' pants prevents you from running.

 

We as young Black people have to be the ones to effect change. 
We are dying. The media has made a mockery of the Black 
American. Even our brothers and sisters from Africa don't 
take us seriously. Something as simple as pulling up your pants 
and standing with your head held high could make the biggest 
difference in the world's perception of us. It is time to do 
right by ourselves. We need to love and embrace each other. No one is going to do that for us. 
  
It all comes down to perception. What people perceive is what 
reality to them is. We have to change not only the media's 
perception of us, but we need to change our perception of 
ourselves. 
  

Remember all eyes are on you Black Man.

All eyes are on you Black Woman.

All eyes are on your Black Child.

 

People point the finger at us and expect us to engage in negative and illegal activities, to manifest loud, boisterous behavior, to spend our 
hard earned money in their stores, buying goods we don't need, or 
really want.. We have allowed not only the media, but the 
government and the world to portray us as a 'sub-culture. ' They 
have stripped our culture down to the point where the image of 
Black people is perpetuated as rappers, athletes, drug users, and 
consumers of junk food, expensive tennis shoes, expensive cars, 
expensive TVs, cell phones and not investing in homes for our 
families. 
  
We are so much more!!!!!!! 
  

To Black Men: It's time to stand up.

 

There are billions of Black Women who want to do nothing more than worship    the ground that you walk on. We are so in love with your potential. We want to have your back, we want to love, support and cherish every ounce of your being. But with that you have to show that you are willing to be the head of our households. You have to prove yourselves worthy of our submission. We need you to be hard working...Not a hustler. We need you to seek higher education, to seek spirituality. We need you to stand! And trust us; we will have your back. We know that it gets hard. We know you get weary. Trust and believe that there is nothing that a Black Man and a Black Woman can't handle with GOD on their side. 
  
To Black Women: It is also time to stand up.

 

It is time for you to stop using your bodies as your primary form of communication. It is time to be that virtuous woman that Proverbs spoke of. You cannot sit by the wayside while our men are dying by the masses. You are the epitome of Black 
Love. It starts within you. You need to speak with conviction to let not only our Black Men know, but the world, that you are the Mothers of this world. You are so powerful. You are so beautiful. You need to love and embrace every blessing God has given us physically, emotionally and spiritually. 
  
For Black Children: We need to love them.

 

We need to teach them. We need to stand up for them. We need to protect them. We need to show them that there are no 'get rich quick' schemes. We need to tell them that they WILL die trying if they submit to a life of crime and deceit. We need to teach our children that no one will love them the way we can. And being a basketball player, a rapper, or a drug dealer is not reality. It's not realistic and only a small percentage of people ever make it as a rapper or professional athlete. We need to teach our children that we can be more than rappers and athletes. We can be the owners of these sports teams. We can be the CEO's of OUR fortune 500 companies. We need to believe in literacy. 
  
Please Keep This Going & Have a wonderful day 
  
'This is the year of empowerment.' God will empower us to
  accomplish things this year that will be mind blowing'.
 
 May God Bless.

Juan Williams, a 21st Century Uncle Tom some say

Juan Williams, 21st Century Uncle Tom some say, he’s more a paid shill for all that’s, wrong with black Punditry, I say this because, Uncle Tom is to far above his intellect and fox fixed news pay grade, with NPR on the side

6/6/2008

By Bruce H. Scroggins


Juan misses the new obstacles present for the 25% of blacks in poverty today, whom the Bill Cosby's and the Juan Williams of today decry as “not keeping up their part of the bargin,” those who can't do criticize and I’ am not saying Juan and Bill aren't contributing, from their wealth to worthy causes, that’s not what I’ am saying.

I’ve read some now, consistent and persistent criticisms of all things Obama and black, Juan goes from one thing to another in the black community, locked into the past, he knows what happened, but he keeps trying to view and explain the present black communities failures in performance, through the Brown v Board of Education and the flawed Civil Rights era accomplishments.

I say flawed because, so many believe these accomplishments were the be all and end all answers for the black community, now and forever. If they were not flawed, every 25 years, blacks would not have to ask and beg Congress to sign the Civil Rights Act, to keep the right to vote.

Where is the civil rights groundswell on behalf of stronger marriages that will allow more children to grow up in two-parent families and have a better chance of staying out of poverty? Where are the marches demanding good schools for those children -- and the strong cultural reinforcement for high academic achievement (instead of the charge that minority students who get good grades are "acting white")? Where are the exhortations for children to reject the self-defeating stereotypes that reduce black people to violent, oversexed "gangstas," minstrel show comedians and mindless athletes?”

Juan, Bill have you lived in the black communities lately, no you haven’t, you haven’t seen the black community, you’ve seen what the black community is portray on TV and in the Press, you seen the few that have risen to the level of media, where you two live and you decry there excesses.

I live in a black community dying because, our mentors have moved out of the black community, because of guns and a false sense, that all white schools are better than the community schools that raised them and gave them the education to make a better life for them selves. These black upwardly mobile and accomplish to some degree black families, that are part of the root and cause of the dying black community, that has no voice for change, no black males to march and attend Ward and Council meeting, to be the face of change in the black community, down to little league, or a recitel.

Bill, Juan you both decry the Gangster Rap and the flaunting of black woman, the lack of Parenting and the lack of the use of the tools, built on and in our tortured past, through the lives and blood of the Civil Rights hay days, well what’s left in the black community is the old parents who sacrificed and marched to give their children, the better education, that those children used to move out of the black community.

To this day, the City’s mostly white town fathers, listen to the black communities cry’s and still do not do what they want, drugs and dealers are entrenched and those upwardly mobile blacks, the few who come back to the black community, mostly to go to church and hand out turkeys on thanks giving and share some money, but putting their real faces on the problems, they're absent.

No mentors but the aging grandparents and grandmothers and activist born and staying in the community, are all that’s left, you ask why no marches, there’s your answer. The Black preachers are all afraid of the blowback that the white press has played and reverse racist is there new tool, even white voices, announcing any “liberation Theology,” from the degrading facts of life in the black community, are assaulted with racism to shut them down and keep it out of the any discussion.

The problems are new and need a new tactics, coupled with some of the tried and true tactics of the past, I’ am not against using what worked, but those tactic alone cannot attack and win, in these days.


Black Quilt, Black Blame, White quilt, White Blame, all have to be on the table and we have, stay at the table, all of you pop-in-jays need to butt out.”


Both of you men, say nothing about the problems faced by a new generation of Poverty and the abject lack of education and the re-enforced institutional and systemic barriers erected by those in power from City Hall,s Financial Institutions, School Boards, to the Police Departments. None of which have supported those left fighting for the communities, only our Seniors and the Activist, flail around, unsupported by those who are our strongest.

I do understand frustration, but to spend your echo chamber time and bully pall pits attacking blacks lack of answers for the problems faced, is low, you both need to get down on the ground and stay there, not just your money is needed, don’t run back to your Cush homes and white and black friends willing to listen to your cry’s and complaints about your people.


Stay in the that poor black community, showing the way and make your presence the bulwark and draw the strength of the black community back to be the face and mentors needed, the voices in the Town Halls and Wards and City Councils, Parishes and yes, SPEAK, PREACH and LEAD the MARCH, ORGANIZE the MARCHES, shut the fart-up and LEAD.


In all words, get your asses on the ground and lead until you’re drawn up on your cross.

No, Really what is a Litmus TEST and is it for black leadership only?

What is a LITMUS TEST?

3/02/2008

By Bruce H. Scroggins

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litmus_test_(politics)

A litmus test is a question asked of a potential candidate for high office, the answer to which would determine whether the nominating official would choose to proceed with the appointment or nomination.

This is what Tim Russert did to Barack Obama in the last debate and Tim is un-apologetic about it, it appears racist in content and nature, because he dose not ask these litmus test questions of WHITES, he dose not press, the question, over and over, to white’s of any gender.

Obama rejected past present and future and he repeatedly rejected, consecutively for Tim Russerts, as if Tim Russerts repeatedly ask the same litmus test question, as if Tim didn’t hear Obama, or didn’t understand. Finally, after enlisting Hillary, for additional litmus test pressure Obama rejected and denounced, I can only guess Tim (litmus test) Russerts, finally heard Obama.

CNN and Wolf Blitzer for one, on the Late Edition 2/02/08, with, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, set up good bigotry vs. bad bigotry and supported good bigotry, making no definitive distinction, except white bigotry is good from most whites and bad bigotry from most, or all blacks is bad, Wolf left it there.

Bill O’Reilly, spoke of a Lynching Party if he found Michelle Obama to be an angry woman, Don Imus was fired for this bigotry, but all media has circled the wagons and are IGNORING this blatant assault, even the FCC has no interest in applying even investigation, into a clear violation, I filed a complaint, with the FCC, nothings happened.

And even if the FCC dose something, the MEDIA is clearly the enablers, there abject; silence is

SPEAKING VOLUMES IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN AMERICA AN IN OTHER COMMUNITIES.

What say you; ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, AP, ROUITERS, BBC, fox fixed news.

The Big Question: When did experience become a Liability?

THE BIG QUESTION: When did experience become a big liability? Here’s your answer.

01/08/2008

By Bruce H. Scroggins

Bill Clinton and Hilary and Richardson, have ask this question, or said as much in protestation, during this season and it has come up more and more, well I believe someone needs to answer this question, out in the open.

Since 2000, Democrats and Independents have watched in horror, as Bush and Republicans ram through policy after policy, Tax cut after tax cuts, all to the rich, listen to promise after promise followed by, failure after failure, domestic programs for the poor and the middle class cut to the bone and taxed to the hilt, watched health Insurance go up and all put on the workers, by the tax (cutted) rich employers, watched the new 110th Congress, in thin control of Democrats… Now let say this right… CAVE, FOLD, CONPITULATE, ENABLE, GO BACK ON PROMISES, MAKE EXCUSE after EXCUSE for why Traditional long time, EXPERIENCED Democratic leadership, fail to … DELIVER.

Experience MY GRANDMOTHER

America is up to HERE with experience, you have continued the STATUS QUO and were sick to the MOON, with the same old, Washington, were sick of Democrats, in name only. When you say your going to fight and you don’t fight, when the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the Rule of Law is folded, spindled and mutilated, and your answer to us, about impeachment is; it’s a distraction and, I don’t want to be seen as “partisan,” what your saying to those who elected you is, I won’t follow the “Rule of law” I refuse to do what you want me to do and you can’t make me.

Well yes we can, it’s called a primary and a GENERAL ELECTION and your, so out of here, yes you did some good things, but that is not the grounds for you now tell us, I know better than you and you have to back me, no we don’t and you will get the … NO WE DON”T.

And no Obama did not compare you too them, Hilary, he did how ever compare your; I did this good and that good, but when we speak of your failure, you don’t want us to count that, only what was good, no we will show your complicity in how things are NOW and if your weak, your weak NOW. We will hold you accountable, we will change.
