THIS MAY COST ME SOME “CONSCIOUS” FACE BOOK FRIENDS…BUT WHAT THE HECK… THESES THREE MEN (MALCOLM X-BERNIE MAC-RICHARD PRYOR) I HAVE MORE OF A CONNECTION WITH IN THE WORLD OF COMEDY ,SOCIAL INJUSTICE AND ACTING …WITH THEIR PASSING THAN I DO WITH ROBIN WILLIAMS I DID FEEL SOMETHING CHANGED EACH TIME ONE HAD PASSED… IN THE WORDS OF BROTHER MALCOLM X…. Ignorance of each other is what has made unity impossible in the past. Therefore we need enlightenment. We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity. Once we have more knowledge (light) about each other, we will stop condemning each other and a United front will be brought about. HAVING SAID THAT, THE PASSING OF ROBIN WILLIAMS ALTHOUGH SAD IS NOT THE END OF COMEDY-NOR THE END OF THE WORLD- SOME OF YOU ACT LIKE YOU KNEW THE MAN PERSONALLY AS IF YOU HAD HIS PHONE NUMBER OR WENT TO DINNER WITH HIM…”WAKE UP” PUT YOUR ATTENTION BACK ON WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT… FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON THE THINGS THAT HAVE A GREATER EFFECT ON YOU THAN THE PASSING OF “ROBIN WILLIAMS”…HOW IS IT FOR HIS (ROBIN WILLIAMS) PASSING YOU GET AMNESIA ABOUT A YOUNG “BLACK” MAN…SHOT DEAD IN THE STREETS…WITH HIS HANDS RAISED IN THE AIR… IN A NEIGHBORHOOD…IN BROAD DAYLIGHT… IN THE WORDS OF A GREAT MAN MALCOM X… At the same time that so much hullaballoo was being made over the passage of the civil rights bill, if you read closely between the lines, a little black boy in Georgia was found hung on a tree. A 1964 June lynching. Nothing was said in the paper, no hullaballoo was made over that. But here’s a little fourteen-year-old black boy in Georgia lynched, and to keep you and me from knowing what was taking place, they showed another picture of a little black boy letting a white man cut his hair. This is the trickery that you and I are faced with every day in this society. They on the one hand try and show us how much progress we’re making. But if we look through all of that propaganda we find that our people are still being hung, they’re still disappearing, and no one is finding them, or no one is finding their murderers. And at the same time also that so much hullaballoo was being made over this new civil rights legislation, a bill went into effect known as the no-knock law or stop-and-frisk law, which was an anti-Negro law…. Plus, a protest demonstration is an act that is a reaction to what someone else has done. And as long as you’re involved in it, you’re in someone else’s bag. You’re reacting to what they’ve done. And all they have to do to keep you on their string is keep situations developing to keep you reacting, to keep you so busy you never have a chance to sit down and figure out a constructive program of your own that will enable you and me to make the progress that is our due. SO LETS KEEP OUR ATTENTION WHERE IT IS MOST IMPORTANT..ON US AND OUR SITUATIONS…
