When I started this group called "The Thoughts of Black Men", it was a source of
relief of the pain of my past. The Thoughts of Black Men was and is the
impartation to the therapy of the MIND SET!! Which means it's our home to
RECOVER, to REBUILD, to plan to commit the purpose of saving lives.

To re-evaluate faults, mistakes, and build strength to kill BONDAGE!!!! The
Thoughts of Black Men is designed to enter in the inner courts of men and women
for the edifying of perfection. Its purpose is to knock down the barriers and to
destroy HATE AND DIVISION BY AS MEANS NECESSARY!!!...

Through wisdom, knowledge, education, and the benefits of life time
opportunities TBM has accomplished great goals in it's assignment to touch and
save the lives in it's travels.

The Thoughts of Black Men & The Thoughts of Black Men & Family Organization is
the foundation of love and compassion and welcomes with open arms men and women
of this nation.

When I look at the "DEATH" rate and how many of our love one are living us.
Either by crime, by sickness, by fear, by miss understanding, by the lack of
knowledge, for it cause's "PAIN" which leads to "DEATH". Now here again we lose
a GREAT LOST. Our brother who has ruled a nation by his talents, his heart, and
his "PAIN".

Many will grief of the lost of "MICHAEL JACKSON", who is and was one of us a
Black Man with multi talents. As we look at the results of his works and the
cause of his death, many are asking about his following, his surroundings "WHY"
because that plays an important factor in the lives in which we "LIVE".

One of the greatest that ever LIVED IS GONE!!! My personal feelings is "PAIN"
and "HURT", and the reason I say this is because "IT DID NOT HAD TO HAPPEN THIS
WAY". And many will suffer because of our ACTIONS, our choices, our DECISIONS,
and our rejections to be responsible in covering and LOVING ONE
ANOTHERRRRRRRRRR! !!

Michael Jackson showed his love, his compassion, his concern, his hurt,his short
comings, to the NATION!!! And I gotta say this as a black man, that there are
many of us BLACK MEN THAT HAS THE GIFTS, that has the TALENTS, and the world at
it's command.

Oh that's a true statement I just made, Michael Jackson was an example to a
nation and to us "BLACK MEN" that there is NOTHING WE AN'T BE!!! All the "PAIN"
this man carried, HE STILL KEEP THE WORLD ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEE...

Although many of us didn't understand his weakness, but we use it in the wrong
terms and we turned our back on him and we used his weakness to SHUT HIM DOWN!!
Because we didn't hour him with our gifts of reproducing to same "LOVE" he had..
My GOD whom is going to catch that statement I just said..

Michael Jackson is now "FREE" from the "PAIN". I wish we as a nation, black men
can and will come TOGETHER for the sake our LEGACY. A man who opened many doors
for us the follow, to be a witness, and to continue.

His music has messages of "LOVE", "GREATNESS" to the fullest. Which says alot of
WHOM WE ARE AS BLACK MENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNN.. (OH I AM GOING THERE) And I
strongly believe there is another "MICHEAL JACKSON", I strongly believe out of
the great LOST, THERE WILL BE A GREATERRRRRRRRRRRR! !!

Because we are a MANY!! And a "MICHAEL JACKSON" can't DIE, but reproduce himself
GREATER. Do you really believe that there is NO OTHER GREAT BLACK MEN SUCH
MICHAEL JACKSON OUT THERE!!

I strongly believe THERE IS, I believe Michael Jackson left us with knowledge
and understanding of his works and his national fame for another great BLACK MAN
OR MEN TO TAKE ON!..

How do we know this, by the following and the example, and doors he has provided
for us....GOD I JUST WISH SOMEBODY WOULD CATCH WHAT I JUST SAID!!! We "LOVE" and
honor him by COMING TOGETHERRRRRRRRRR! !

By stopping the HATE, and the BLACK AGAINST BLACK CRIMES, we honor him by stop
having our BLACK WOMEN DIS-RESPECTED AND TRADE MARKED AS HOLES ON OUR VIDEO'S (
ARE YOU HEARING ME)

Michael Jackson did not have naked women, or half naked BLACK WOMEN ON HIS
VIDEO'S AND CURSING IN HIS MUSIC JUST TO MAKE A DOLLARRRRRRRRR! ! He gain
national, world wide fame by his talent and songs written by some of the most
talented BLACK MENNNNNNNNNNN.

God whom am I birthing to the understanding of our LEGACY, our birth rights as
BLACK MEN!!! We have alot to look forward to, we still have great black men and
black women who ARE STILL HEREEEEEEEEEE, that we have not imparked or know
ABOUTTTTTTTTTT! !!

Okay, okay, you sit there and play with the wisdom of not knowing in whom WE
ARE!! You sit there and you let our brother "MICHAEL JACKSON" go down as a
DISGRACE BECAUSE OF THE ACT HATE TOWARDS YOUR PEOPLEEEEEEEE. You sit there and
grieve and you dance to the beat of the music without understanding the MESSAGE
HE DIED FORRRRRRRRRR. .

I HEAR TO SONG, the song, "THE MAN IN THE MIRROR", how the words say "YOU WANNA
MAKE A BETTER PLACE, YOU GOTTA LOOK AT YOURSELF AND MAKE A
CHANGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Time for a change "MEN", time we declare our rights and STAND, BUILD, RESTORE,
RECOVER THE LOST AND STOP THE PAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ..

The pain of mis-understanding, the pain of suffering, the pain of HATE, and the
great pain of knowing how to LOVE ONE ANOTHERRRRRRRRRRR! !

Michael Jackson leaves us only in thought, but he lives in many of us. We know
have to make a change, we have to seek LEADERSHIP, and we have to look at the
history in which many has died that we may "LIVE".

We must honor our brothers and sister in whom we can save, we have our brother
"OBAMA", and great others whom are here to protect and guide and lead us to
GREATER MISSIONS..

If one man of the many of us can win the hearts and minds of the nation, think
about the many that are in the mist of us that can and will carry the legacy of
our brother "Michael Jackson".

For it's our time, it's our hour, to correct and heal the pain by coming
together, sharing, and to make sure the legacy does not DIE!!

We thank and praise "GOD" for allowing us to have an opportunity to have a
brother in whom took a nation as a part of his life and made a world wide
"CHANGE".

God I ask that you give us GRACE, WISDOM, AND UNDERSTANDING DURING THIS TIME
GOD!!! That you raise a nation in LEADERSHIP GOD THAT WILL HONOR YOUR WILL IN
PROSPERITY..

I ask GOD that you cover the great and powerful MEN & WOMEN who has been chosen
to carry the assignment of "The Thoughts Of Black Men" & The Thoughts Of Black
Men & Family as we empark and claim the national territory of change to the
responisbility of SAVING LIVES!!

GIVE US WISDOM GOD!!! GOD GIVE US GUIDANCE TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE POWER TO
THE KNOWLEDGE IN WHICH WE SEEK DAILY, SO OUR RE POOR IS AS OF GOOD FRUIT!!!

GOD PLACE OUR BROTHER MICHAEL IN A PLACE OF REST!! NO HARM AND NO DANGER...AND I
CLAIM PEACE OVER HIS LIFE....I CLAIM WEALTH AND RESTORING IN THE LIVES OF THE
LIVINGGGGGGGGGG. ...GOD!!!

I SPEAK LIFE AND NOT DEALTH!! I SPEAK WISDOMMMMMMMMMMMMM TO BE PLACED ON THE
LIVES OF OUR PEOPLEEEEEEEEEEEEE. .. AND I CLAIM THE RESTORING OF CHANGE TO IT'S
RIGHTFUL STATE.. NO WEAPON SHALL PROSPER!!

May "PEACE" rest on us as we grief over the "DEATH" of beloved bro "MICHAEL
JACKSON"

And we thank you God for all you have done and all the things your going to
do...
