Pressure points are vital points or weak points of the body where a blood vessel or a nerve is very close to the skin. Pressure on these points can cause pain, injury or even death if an atemi (blow) is applied. Only some martial arts as Hapkido, Aikido, Jujutsu, Karate, Kyusho Jutsu, and certain styles of Kung Fu include pressure points in their teachings. There are about 300 pressure points on the human body, but very few are used in martial arts. http:// www.martialartsdo.org/ articles/humanbody/ pressurepoints.php

Art Blair shared Bev Collier's note: On Racism. Bev Collier wrote a new note: ON RACISM. Because racism does not affect us white folk in the same way as it does people of color, it is easy to underestimate the pain and suffering that they endure on a daily basis. Our white privilege allows us to place it back on a remote shelf at anytime and ignore it. White folks don't have to talk about racism. It does not directly affect us. We don't have to fear that our sons will be arr ested, sent to prison or even killed for a minor action. Our character is not judged by the color of our skin. White people need to look beyond our privilege and learn to listen to and strive to understand those most affected by racism. We have no business judging or instructing people of color on racism. They know full well what racism is and how it affects their lives and the lives of their children and grandchildren! If we sincerely care about racism in this country we need to accept that...

"Black women are particularly vulnerable to the effects of European standards of beauty, because these standards emphasize skin colors and hair types that exclude many black women, especially those of darker skin. Using a social work lens, this article explores the black woman’s internalization of European beauty standards through family, peers, the media, and society, and the related outcomes of this internalization on self-perception, academic achievement, sexual behavior,  employment, marital status, and mental health. A review of the research indicates that European standards of beauty can have damaging effects on the life trajectories of black women, especially those with dark skin, primarily in the form of internalized self-hatred. Suggestions are made for social work practitioners to address the effects of these internalized European beauty standards among black women through programming and clinical practice."

Every time, We curse Our Sacred Features; i.e. hair, lips, nose, eye color, and skin color, these self-negating thoughts block the development of our personal logic circuit. Consequently, We as a as People are blocked from authentic thought s and concepts. We have been so traumatized by this Branch of Hell, called America, that the mere mention of anything considered militant, radical, Pro-Black induces a panic attack. The fear of white reprisal for independent, self-reliant thoughts and behaviors has trapped Us in a debilitating, intellectual limbo that shuts down the reasoning capacity. The proof this psychic/mental malaise is in the Conspiracy of Silence in African-American Culture. Children intuitively sense that something is terribly wrong about the savagely brutal cycles of poverty, injustice and degradation. Yet, all the “adults" are talking about Satan Claus, Disney Land and Basketball Wives. Those irrepressible Freedom Fighters who have the temerity to speak agai...

The words to the Ring around the rosy children's ring game have their origin in English history. The historical period dates back to the Great Plague of London in 1665 (bubonic plague) or even before when the first out break of the Plague hit England in the 1300's. The symptoms of the plague included a rosy red rash in the shape of a ring on the skin (Ring around the rosy). Pockets and pouches were filled with sweet smelling herbs ( or posies) which were carried due to the belief that the disease was transmitted by bad smells. The term "Ashes Ashes" refers to the cremation of the dead bodies! The death rate was over 60% and the plague was only halted by the Great Fire of London in 1666 which killed the rats which carried the disease which was transmitting via water sources. The English version of "Ring around the rosy" replaces Ashes with (A-tishoo, A-tishoo) as violent sneezing was another symptom of the disease. We recommend the following site for comprehe...
