When black people put down the guns and reach for each other instead of violence - it's time to stop the hate and it has to begin with someone and as the great Martin Luther Jr stated -"I long for the day when a man (person) is judged by the quality of his character not by the color of his skin" - it's time!

There are mass shooting every single day in Philly, Chicago, La, New Orleans….. every single day. Yet for some reason people want to point to school shootings as if that happens every day and not once or twice a year by a kid who’s had psych meds shoved down their throats. Are the people being killed on the streets less valuable than others?

Wake up everbody says be aware of yourself and your neighbor. The bible says love thy neighbor as you love yourself. Everybody is your neighbor. Because, we are GOD'S children.

Can’t forget about Bobby Eli and Vinnie Barrett they wrote much of Blue Magic’s early work.

He insisted on writing EVERY part you hear on a Thom Bell production, no matter how subtle the guitar ad-lib or position of cymbal crash. When he'd visit labels to have meetings, execs would take one look at Linda Creed and say, "You can leave your [white] girlfriend in the lobby." Bell would angrily make clear that Creed wasn't his girlfriend but his songwriting partner and tell them if she's not in the meeting, there won't be one.

I really do hope and pray that these young men wake up because they are suppose to be our future leaders straight out of high school along with thinking ahead because we are not suppose to put our vote in November with the age of 2 golden age men in their 70ties and 80ties.. Some of these young men need to listen to this song before November, Miss You Teddy 🧸
