TO THE EXTREME! (253 hits)

I registered for a Business math course this winter, The instructor sent the message that the textbook was available at two bookstores. He also said that all student would be require to take a total of six test at the college even thou this is a online course. As you may know normally mid terms and finals are the only required test to be taken at the college if the online instructor request it.

When I went to the college bookstore to purchase my textbook plus the alex keycard that was required with the text. I found that not only was the textbook not on the shelf but that the course label was also missing. I was told by an employee that the book was sold out. I asked " why is the label not located on the shelf to indicate where the book is placed"? The employee then went to check the computer and told me that the textbook had never arrived. I then went to a different bookstore where they had the textbook but could not find the alex keycard. I told them that there should have been other students looking for the same items that I was searching for since the college didn't have it , and I was informed that I was the first and only student that they encountered with this problem.
So I decided to return to the college bookstore just to see what was going on. I was walking pass an area and happen to look over and see the textbook located in an unmarked area, nowhere near where it should have been located. I looked around the store more and found the alex keycard located in the business area.
Could it be that the reason other students weren't looking for the book is because they were told where to find it, while I wasn't.

Hello Helen,

Helen, your suspicions and complain leads me to ask you that, do you think these problems would exist if we were a sovereign people on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders?

Now, when you seriously get ready to become a sovereign people I will still be here that we could come together to make it happen.

Tell me what you think.

I would think that you should know bye now that the whites will show you how you can't go anywhere that he can't follow. The pyschology is to make something valuable seem worthless, It's like losing your lucky rabbits foot. (smile)

Hello Helen,

I want you to look good at your own statement because I am going to psychologically break it down for you, okay.
This is what you said, �I would think that you should know bye now that the whites will show you how you can't go anywhere that he can't follow.�

Psychologically speaking your statement shows that what Whites do depends on what you will think and do. In other words, you are re-acting to Whites, which means that you are not a pro-active person, am I right. Instead, you are a re-active person and that is how all 41 million Black Americans are since our minds were destroyed because of slavery.

Now, supposing you would just forget about your psychosis that Whites following you everywhere and focus on what�s good for you and your people, which is being proactive we could become a sovereign people overnight on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders. When Black organizations march and protest whom do they go to, but Whites to resolve our problems. Likewise, when the Hebrew people had problems they seek out Pharaoh to solve their problems until Moses came and made men and women out of his people, am I right. This is the mindset of a people enslaved by a superior people. Does that make any sense to you?

Helen, the Hebrew people was the same way. They were always concerned about what Pharaoh and the Egyptian people were thinking. Their minds were destroyed from slavery and bondage just as our minds are until Moses came to them. Moses had a very difficult time trying to get them to get Pharaoh out of their minds and focus on what is good for them. It took him 20 years to get over this psychosis hurdle of his people just so the Exodus could begin. Do you understand what I am saying to you?

Tell me what you think.

The point that I was trying to get across is that people acted in a united effort to withhold something I needed. The way I see it, Since there is not shame in their game, the united has to become divided in order for this not to continue to happen.

Mrs. Helen, it is also possible that the person you asked did not know. I have encountered this before. Sometimes books are placed based on the discipline and sometimes based on the course itself. I found it easier to just go to the help desk and have them look it up, then proceed to locating the books with me. Some books can be used in more than one discipline and can be shelved inappropriately because of that.

Hello Ms. Burgess and Mr. Weston,

Do you all not understand what Helen is telling you? Helen did more than what you all are suggesting and for that matter; her suspicions are justified.

Do you all not have enough sense to understand that we live in an environment that is deliberately prejudice and racists towards Black Americans? The difference today is that the prejudice and racism comes with a smile, but years ago, it was blatant. What is wrong with you all, mentally speaking?

I know this for a fact that Black Americans are going to become a sovereign people on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders.

I am Black America�s permanent solution.

Tell me what you think.
