The Examined Life @21stcenturysocratic - Tumblr Blog

"Like any man, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land." #RevDrMartinLutherKingJr✊🏾 #IHaveADream✨ #HappyBirthday🍰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CndHDeBOBK4rnTYIifNxyaUvcQdvSdlLwZX7pU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You can even be her one day." #WatchingHISTORY📖 #INSPIREOurYoungPeople✨ #2021inauguration🇺🇸 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKSGz03Msl4Ph-JisQSnjYAQ0pUMOD4y-xyHGE0/?igshid=u5o9nfg0yvez

Today's #ElectionDay workday wear: PURPLE. 💜 The same as my mixed ballot selections this year. My word for this cycle was 'Aptitude'. If I determined you as having such, my #vote you got. 🗳🇺🇸 Once all the prognostication, rhetoric, punditry is finally over...America's 240+ year-old political experiment still works best when there's civil engagement of ideas that is the precursor to compromise and action. There's no singular side of the aisle with all the answers. But the near generation-long infusions of ignorance, apathy, and hyperbole have been the cancer of our social culture, and therefore must be excoriated & expunged outright. Come Inauguration Day, whatever the outcome...my morning prayer will be for the start of progress, and an end to obstruction. ☀☝ ~gaj (PolitiBRO.™)

The Sound📣…and the Fury✊. Each a true, awe-inspiring, incomparable Champion.

The media's the most powerful entity on earth. 🎙📺💻🌍 They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses. ~ el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz (Malcolm X) The birthday boy knew it before most. Challenge the populist wave. 💬✊ Think critically for self. 🔎☝ Wake up. 💤🚫

He was '1999'. The Kid. Christopher Tracy. The Slave. The Artist. The Emancipated. But above all...he was MUSIC. 🕊😢RIP Prince Rogers Nelson (1958-2016)

Listening to Ben Carson give his endorsement of Donald Trump. He talks of "how there are two Trumps... one for the cameras, and one behind the scenes." I question which is harder...selling out your dignity, our selling your own soul. 💸😕🖐 #MakesMeWannaHolla
