As I See It: “Breaking the Isms” takes Critical Thinking

By DAVID 11

Racism, sexism, terrorism are things that plague the mind of our nation. Only through community engagement will people be able to show love. Charitable and unselfish acts are the foundation of unity. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck in classism with people judging one another upon status. You must know us to love us. Our country was founded on capitalism and there are other nations who want to buy all of our political and economic power, because it is up for grabs. This is the main reason for the influx of radicalism.

You might need a dictionary for this article as I attempt to push the community into critical thinking. Isms range from a mental diagnosis to a social construct. Populism could be a way to unify our minds in a progressive manner.

Materialism sounds a bit petty, but a lot of people may like to operate in favoritism with branding and the marketability of an original thought. That’s all cute, but what happens when favoritism becomes nazism? Many people feel that being a part of a superior race or a more holy religion would be an ideal existence…idealism. Always question your own motives.

Vandalism comes about when situations become unfair. Imagine economic terrorism to keep a subdivision in poverty. The one percent wants the 99 percent to always be occupied with getting money and live in fear of scarcity. A solution could be to practice minimalism, maybe, but we must always be creative with a mind of abundance. Don’t be a savage, you will always survive. Become more creative with resources and thrive.

Everybody appears professional until it’s time to put it on paper and be accountable. To the community who want change, write it all out. A thought-out written process will strengthen a purpose instead of weakening it with doubt. We need better stories, because a legacy of trauma becoming a best seller is not a good trajectory for futurism. The mental state of a group determines their output. Break the isms! It’s saddening to see society so hurt and stuck in escapism, using sex and drugs to calm their reality.

We need better writers with the ability to communicate. We must always promote literacy so I will respectfully press pause on rap music for this part. Screen writers, grant writers, legislative writers and policy writers are the keepers of power.

Nowadays when speaking on “inclusion,” most people want socialism to be a fair way of life. But wait! Think about the ambitions of narcissistic leadership. Socialism can birth totalitarianism, for example DeSantis vs. Disney. In a lot of ways, while trying to find social equality – the roots of individualism are always pulled, leaving a person with no way to grow.

Freedom! Words have the power to spark manifestation. I can’t agree on “speak things into existence” all the time, but I know passwords give access and a speech can be a formula for a solution.

Broward, don’t you worry. There are people committed to bringing truth. Breaking the isms is the way to achieve mental, spiritual then physical sovereignty. On Monday, May 15 at Old Dillard Museum an event was held for Florida’s Emancipation in 1865. The follow up event was a tribute to Malcolm X on his birthday Friday, May 19 at the same location, Old Dillard Museum. We will keep the value of Black native struggles in a righteous, honorable way to never be forgotten. Time to cherish our stories, and we got you with the Wordsmith, Darius Daughtry; the Historian, Emmanuel George; and myself, the Cultural Arts Ambassador, David Miller.

Thank you for reading.
