To: President Joe Biden, on your recent message on March 7th, 2024, commemorating the Holocaust.

Dear, Mr. President, Comparing the Holocaust to what happened on October 7th, 2023, when Hamas bombed parts of the Gaza, which Jews occupied, was a pseudo-appeal to association. Nevertheless, what happened to the Jews, must never happen to anyone.

Remembering the Holocaust should not just be about Jews, but also about the inhumanity of humans that would cause Hitler to create concentration camps to gas and torture millions of Jews as a way of racial cleansing to create a pure race that is Arian. Racism, colonialism, extremism, ethnic cleansing, and discrimination, still exist in the world today: From Russia's invasion of Ukraine to China's threats of war to re-control Taiwan. Similarly, Palestinians have had to deal with Israel's aggression and domination over the years, who have also objected and rejected the Palestinian state. To many Palestinians, Israel today has created a holocaust experience killing thousands in response to what Israel says is a response to Hamas' recent bombing. However, Israel's response has been magnanimous, as they brace to invade Raffah where many refugees and civilians On October 7, 2023, Hams bombed parts of the Israel-occupied section of #gaza in response to what many Palestinians feel justified about as they fight for independence and nationhood. Israel today is a far more powerful country, with friends such as the US, UK, Canada, and many other post-industrial nations. Mr. Biden to compare October 7, 2023, with the Holocaust, when millions of Palestinians today are under siege by Israel trying to root out Hamas terrorists, was inappropriate and a "question-begging epithet". I discuss this some more on The Neoliberal Round podcast and YouTube channel, plus explore the question of, "how can we reconcile "freedom of expression" and "speech" with "hate speech"? And, "can we legislate on hate and love"? Sincerely, Rev. Renaldo C.

In today's final Lecture at Jamaica Theological Seminary for the course "Caribbean Thought," Professor, Renaldo C. McKenzie presented the following:

1. Closing Thoughts - Learning is memorable when it is monumental....

2. Overview of Caribbean currents, trends, thinkers, and influences - From Arawaks to Africans to Frantz Fanon and Beyond.

3. Reviewing the Journey - Exploring the Caribbean Thought Exam.

4. Explored the Question: Should Theology Transcend Culture?" Essay by Professor, Renaldo McKenzie: The relationship between theology and culture is a complex and multifaceted one, with scholars and practitioners offering differing perspectives on whether theology should transcend culture or be deeply embedded within it. To address this question, it is essential to define theology and culture and explore their interplay in both historical and contemporary contexts. Theology, at its core, is the study of the divine, religious beliefs, and the nature of the divine being or beings. It encompasses doctrines, rituals, ethics, and interpretations of sacred texts within various religious traditions. Culture, on the other hand, refers to the shared beliefs, values, customs, and practices of a particular group of people, often shaped by factors such as history, geography, language, and social structures. Throughout history, theology and culture have been intertwined, influencing and shaping each other in profound ways. Religious beliefs and practices are often deeply embedded within cultural contexts, reflecting the values, norms, and traditions of a society. Conversely, theology has also played a role in shaping culture, providing frameworks for understanding the world, guiding ethical behavior, and fostering community cohesion. However, the question of whether theology should transcend culture raises important considerations regarding the universality of religious truth claims and the diversity of human experiences and perspectives. Proponents of the transcendence of theology argue that religious truths are universal and transcendent, applicable to all people regardless of cultural context. They posit that theology should provide timeless principles and moral guidance that are not bound by cultural limitations. On the other hand, advocates for the embeddedness of theology within culture emphasize the importance of contextualization and cultural relevance in religious practice and interpretation. They argue that theology must be understood and expressed within the cultural frameworks of particular communities, taking into account their unique histories, languages, and worldviews. This approach acknowledges the diversity of human experiences and the dynamic nature of culture, allowing theology to evolve and adapt to changing social contexts. Furthermore, the transcendence of theology over culture can lead to the imposition of dominant cultural norms and values onto marginalized communities, perpetuating systems of power and inequality. Embracing cultural diversity within theology fosters inclusivity, allowing for the voices and perspectives of marginalized groups to be heard and valued within religious discourse.

In conclusion, the relationship between theology and culture is a dynamic and complex one, with both perspectives offering valuable insights into the nature of religious belief and practice. While some argue for the transcendence of theology over culture, emphasizing universal truths and principles, others advocate for the immanence of theology within culture, acknowledging...

The NeoLiberal - In the complex and fraught arena of conflict, the dynamics between predator and prey often mirror those seen in the natural world. When attacked and cornered, the instinctive responses of fright, flight, or fight come to the fore. This fundamental survival mechanism, ingrained in both humans and animals, shapes the course of conflicts and wars.

On October 7th, 2023, the world witnessed a tragic escalation of violence as Hamas launched a deadly attack on Israel, resulting in the loss of hundreds of Israeli lives. Hamas justified this action as resistance to occupation and years of provocations. In response, Israel retaliated with overwhelming force, resulting in the deaths of thousands and the displacement of millions. However, the roots of the Israel-Palestine conflict run much deeper than this recent escalation....

On this episode, I share my Lecture at Jamaica Theological Seminary, a college class I teach via the zoom platform for 3 hours weekly. This is Lecture 11, where I continue to explore Afro-Caribbean beliefs and traditions and highlighting influences such as Dutty Boukman and providing an overview of the few of the main traditions and how they are perceived today.

We then transition into part two of the Lecture which was a documentary film presentation, "Life and Debt" and situating it within the broader conversation about cinema and globalization.

In the coming days, we will release the final two lectures of the class, and Lecture 13 is climactic.

What's Trinidad? Caribbean Trinidad and Tobago, Trinibad Artiste shares his story, explaining this new genre of music from Trinidad. We met up while Shawa was walking his dog at the park in Germantown Philadelphia. We started a conversation that led to several discoveries and this 10-minute trailer episode of the series, "What's Your Story", part 9. We hope to sit down with him later to finish the episode where we plan to do a full hour of interview talking about his music and life and exploring this new music and playing some of his songs. This episode is a short episode with Shawa live and raw. He was passionate and interesting as he talked about Afro-Caribbean music and people. Shawa is also an Israelite Priest with the African Israelites. We did not delve too much into his faith or religion. We hope to explore this later on another episode. We added background music and sounds from Shawa's original music and videos to the episode which features Shawa himself.

Note: Please excuse the background sounds or noise as this take was done outdoors with limited control of the external noise. However, the disturbances are faint and should not interfere with the audio by the participants.

This is an excerpt from Lecture 10 in Caribbean Thought at Jamaica Theological Seminary. The full lecture is 3-hours long and is powerful and dynamic. It is available here on the Podcast Season 8 Ep 44 and 45.

The question may arise, as it relates to the course and what we are contending for, why are we focussed on Haiti? Every time I teach the course the focus is different, yet the conclusions are almost identical. This semester focuses on Haiti, as a case study when studying the Caribbean position in the world today and the currents that have led to its invention as we contend for a reinvented Caribbean in the 21st century. The Lecture begins by analyzing the course and why we are focussing on Haiti by highlighting the idea behind the textbook which is a case study about Jamaica speaking about the Caribbean and global south experience in a post-colonial post-independent world. The Professor uses this to support the ways we are approaching the course. Much like the film Life and Debt a documentary film about Jamaica's socio-political-economic history based on a book about Antigua entitled "A Small Place". The Professor makes the point how each Caribbean experience from colonization to independence and to now has followed similar paths in relation to their position in the world and the international strategies that have come to formulate the Caribbean as an invention. Rev. Renaldo surveys Caribbean economic history drawing on several theorists from the Caribbean and the post-colonial such as Ramesh Ramsarwan, Rex Nettleford, Nelson and Nelson, C.L. R. James, Walter Rodney, and his own work, Neoliberalism book 1. The Lecture also featured a special guest Lecturer, Fr. Hyvenson Josephs, a Haitian American originally from Haiti who is an episcopal Priest living in Florida. He provided the latest update on Haiti indicating that Haitians are demanding a Haitian-led solution that follows the constitution of Haiti. However, Dr. Henry is exiled but remains as the Installed PM by the foreign gang of four - US, Germany, France, and Canada. Further, it was revealed that Canada is training a small group of Jamaican military to go to Haiti to help with security. The Lecture was powerful and ended with Rev. Renaldo McKenzie reviewing an article for the Jamaica Gleaner on the importance of exploring Attitudes Toward Afro-Caribbean Beliefs and Traditions and problematizing the immigration issue. The Class was done via the Zoom platform for the course, Caribbean Thought involving several students registered for the course at Jamaica Theological Seminary, https://jts.edu.jm.

We did a unique study, polling black and brown people's support for Trump or Biden in New York City, particularly Harlem, Manhattan to ascertain how the black and brown population would vote if the elections were called today. This is part 2 of a series in response to a video clip on Twitter showing how blacks in Chicago are supporting Trump. We at The NeoLiberal Round decided to conduct a study via the podcast where we ask black and brown people at random who they are voting for and whether they are Republicans or Democrats and also their socio-economic status (financially stable or not), plus other demographical questions such as age, heritage - Caribbean, Latin America or African American with little to no connections to any foreign heritage, etc. The interviews comprised over 25 individuals from various age groups and political affiliations. We aired the interviews of the individuals who agreed to be interviewed on the show for the broadcast. The episode also contains an in-depth analysis of the interviews with the respondents. It wraps up at the end with a summary of the findings and the interviews which included a comparison of Philly black voters against NYC Black Voters. The findings will be published in The NeoLiberal Journals and The NeoLiberal Post at The NeoLiberal Corporation The episode is a compilation of the various video interviews we conducted between March 10th and March 30th in NYC on location at 125th and Morningside and other locations in Harlem. The episode starts with a clip excerpt of the respondents and the host on several takes mashed together for a sensational and epic blend which then segways into the introduction by the Host of the individual short interviews. This episode has over 10 respondents on short clips between 28 seconds and 4 minutes. Summary Points: 1. Many people who are Democrats say that they are voting for Trump, but the Republicans we spoke to indicated that they are voting for or supporting Biden. 2. Four/Five years ago, when Trump ran against Biden, many if not most New Yorkers in NYC, who may have been supporting or thinking about voting for Trump, would not bravely share or discuss this with anyone; for their safety and sanity. Today, that is not the case, as is evident in the episode, since many publicly, boldly, and bravely discussed some in groups with other onlookers around and others spoke so loudly as if they were delivering a gospel message at an outdoor church service. How does the Support differ? 3. College-educated, Versus the non-college 4. Financially stable Vis-a-vis those struggling economically and getting by on odd jobs or low wages 5. Caribbean/West Indians 6. Latin and Hispanic Americans 6. Abortion, Conservative Values 7. White Americans who are politically entrenched 8. Younger people versus Older peoples 9. Verbalizing support versus actually going out to vote on election day.

This is the second part of a 3-hour Lecture, featuring Fr. Hyvenson Josephs updating the Caribbean Thought class at Jamaica Theological Seminary regarding the latest in #haiti as we explore Post-Independent #caribbean today and the challenge for #democracy: We learned that: 1. The gangs have taken over the country including the National Library and Museum stealing art pieces worth millions. 2. Dr. Ariel Henry is still exiled in #puertorico but refuses to resign until his idea for a presidential college is implemented, as the #haitian constitution is rebuffed by the actions of a foreign core group pulling Haiti's strings. 3. Haitians continue to call for a #haitian-led solution 4. while #canada, one of the core group of post-industrial countries that controls Haiti trains #jamaican military to go to #haiti ignoring #caricom's charter promoting Caribbean Unity and Independence as it safeguards Caribbean Sovereignty. 5. The gangs feel justified in their takeover highlighting the external gangs that control Haiti today which is unconstitutional.

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, the traditional framework for children's psycho-social development is being eroded. The slow, deliberate exposure to stimuli that once characterized childhood has been replaced by a world where social media reigns supreme, parental guidance is often lacking, and tolerance for potentially harmful behaviors such as marijuana use is on the rise. Gone are the days when children could navigate the complexities of social interaction at their own pace, guided by parental wisdom and faith-based values. Instead, they find themselves thrust into an environment where reality TV and pop culture glorify superficiality over substance, leaving them ill-equipped to engage meaningfully with others. The consequences of this societal shift are dire. We are witnessing a disturbing uptick in senseless killings, suicides, and mental health crises among our youngest citizens. The correlation between these tragedies and the increasing prevalence of drug use, particularly marijuana, cannot be ignored. As the age at which children are exposed to these substances continues to plummet, so too does their likelihood of experiencing long-term effects on brain development, personality, and mental well-being....

Recently, I published an article in The NeoLiberal Journals exploring the immigration problem concerning the context of a competitive world where the few continue their dominance and advantages at the expense of post-industrial nations still navigating their new independence which has left them dependent and even poorer or more vulnerable. This episode presents the article and provides some more commentary on the issue delving into the realities that many pundits and analysts have not included when addressing the immigration crisis, especially at the border today which continues to be a political issue that has helped to thwart any real solution to the problem. The article is available for reading in #theneoliberalcorporation journals at https://theneoliberal.com/the-neoliberal-journals at theneoliberal.com. The article was written by Renaldo McKenzie, author of Neoliberalism books 1 and 2 an Adjunct Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary, Doctoral Candidate and a Faculty Student Advisor at Georgetown University Temple University, and a graduate University of Penn.

This is a continuation of a Lecture we released for the Podcast and YouTube Channel yesterday. This is part 2 of Caribbean Thought Lecture 9, entitled, Should Theology Transcend Culture? Exploring Attitudes Towards Afro-Caribbean Beliefs and Traditions in Jamaica and the Caribbean and its diaspora. We picked up from where we left off. Part 1 is available on #TheNeoliberalRound Podcast and discusses the following:

1. Should Theology Transcend Culture?

2. Is the #haitian treaty with #kenya legal and binding?

3. What opportunities does #artificialintelligence provide for the #caribbean?

3b. And what are the challenges?

Part 2, is a debate between the professor and some students about Afro-Caribbean Beliefs and whether or not the Jamaican government should legalize the practice of Obeah which is an Afro-Caribbean tradition utilized in some religions such as the Revivalists. Voodoo is a version of Obeah and was never meant to harm but to draw on the power of ancestors to fight the Europeans who were opposed to Obeah and other Afro-Caribbean traditions of the slaves. The British like the French outlawed many African traditions including Obeah. We discussed this highly divisive contentious issue in part 2 of the lecture which was done in one sitting but we split it up in two as the Lecture was over 3 1/2 hours. we have had previous lectures on the subject which can be accessed via The Neoliberal Round Channel Playlists: Caribbean Thought Lecture Series.

Question: Is it fair for China to limit American Social Media such as Twitter and Facebook, while TikTok is thriving in the US, taking over the social media market in the US? When one understands Congress's decision to pass a bipartisan bill to ban TikTok, it was at first based on flimsy arguments about China using the platform to influence American voters, which seemed convoluted at best as most voting Americans are not on TikTok, and many Americans use TikTok to promote and grow their brands and businesses. Moreover, there is nothing that's stopping China and Russia from using any platform through AI technology to promote fake messages that may influence the electorate. All those arguments provided by Congress why we should ban pales in comparison to the fierce competition for dominance between the US and China. #tiktokban #bantiktok On this episode of The NeoLiberal Round Podcast, we present a news article editorial/ commentary that was published in The NeoLiberal Post at renaldocmckenzie.com, and The NeoLiberal Corporation Moral Magazine, The NeoLiberal Journals at https://theneoliberal.com. This is the audio and video presentation of the article which includes additional arguments and commentaries that are not included in the original essay. The article opens like this: "In today’s competitive world, the global stage is fraught with political and economic competition, and one of the key players in this arena is TikTok, an imported good from China. The rise of TikTok in the US market has sparked debates surrounding its impact on American social media platforms and the need to protect national interests. China’s strict control over social media within its borders contrasts sharply with the thriving presence of TikTok in the US. This dichotomy raises concerns about the asymmetrical nature of the relationship, where American platforms like X and Facebook are banned in China while TikTok enjoys unhindered access to the US market. The ban on TikTok in the US, while seen by some as a violation of #FreedomOfSpeech or #FreedomOfExpression, can also be viewed as a safeguarding measure to protect American interests. By restricting TikTok, the US aims to counterbalance China’s control over its media and prevent potential interference in American affairs," (McKenzie, Renaldo, C. https://theneoliberal.com/understanding-the-tiktok-ban-safeguarding-american-interests-in-a-competitive-world/).

Published in The NeoLiberal Journals: As we delve into the dynamics of political support in Philadelphia’s black community, a pertinent question arises: Is there a growing base of support for Trump among black voters in the city, or is it confined to a subset concerned primarily about financial matters? This query navigates through complex layers of political allegiance and socioeconomic considerations. While some individuals within the black community express support for Trump, notably driven by financial concerns, a significant portion of them indicate a reluctance to cast their ballots in his favor. Conversely, another segment comprising educated blacks, considered relatively stable, demonstrates a tendency to participate in the electoral process while refraining from supporting Trump. The challenge for pollsters lies in deciphering the true extent of Trump’s support vis-a-vis actual election day outcomes. The discrepancy between vocal support and tangible voting behavior presents a puzzle that requires nuanced interpretation...

Question: Given the chaos in Haiti, is a Haitian-Led Solution Possible? If it is, will it succeed? Recently, Renaldo McKenzie, Creator and Host of The NeoLiberal Round Podcast and YouTube Channel, and Senior Editor of The NeoLiberal Journals interviewed Fr. Hyvenson Josephs, a Haitian American, scholar, Episcopal Priest and Professor to discuss the latest situation in Haiti. The interview was revealing and breaking providing commentary and new details about the situation in Haiti.

1. Dr. Ariel Henry is now in Puerto Rico after being denied entry into the Dominica Republic enroute to Haiti. Dr. Ariel the Installed Prime Minister of Haiti, who is currently exile from the country, was in Nairobi Kenya signing a Treaty to allow for bilateral relations between the two countries. The treaty was needed to satisfy Kenya’s courts over ruling and objecting to the request for Kenya to send a peace keeping force to Haiti. The treaty was signed and as such would provide the greenlight allowing Kenya to send the force. However, it is not clear as to whether the treaty was legal and constitutional as Dr. Ariel Henry’s authority to sign such a treaty violates Haitian law and constitution since he was installed and not elected and not the President of Haiti. Moreover, Dr. Ariel Henry was asked not to return to Haiti by the gangs and the police who are closely monitoring the ports of entry for Henry’s arrival. It is interesting to point out that the police and gangs are not working together, yet, they both have taken over the airports and oppose to the return of Dr. Henry.

2. Dr. Ariel Henry was asked to step down by the US Department of State and is set to travel to Jamaica where he will announce his resignation. What is perplexing is that while in power, Ariel was unpopular among majority of the Haitian peoples who have asked him to step down. yet he held onto power for a long time since his installment by the gang of 4 including France, Canada, US, and to a lesser degree UK and Brazil. It was not until foreigners asked him to resign that he relented, but refused the protestations of his own people. This suggests that even Ariel rejected Haiti’s own independence, sovereignty and democracy, appealing to the external rather than the internal.

3. CARICOM heads are meeting with a select group of Haitian ministers to discuss a way forward.

4. Haiti is still in a State-of-Emergency as over 98 % of prisoners, from three of the major prisons representing over 80% of all prisoners, remain at large with no solution in sight. It is not clear if the criminals will make their way to other countries given the millions of migrants who are crossing various borders in the Americas today.

Question: given the chaos, is a Haitian-led solution possible and if it is will it succeed?

(Full Episode) Breaking News and Update on the Haitian Crisis: We interviewed Fr. Hyvenson Josephs, an Episcopalian Priest, Professor and Haitian American, on the situation in Haiti. The dialogue was quite revealing going deeper into the crisis and providing updates and clarification on the news surrounding the #prisonbreak and #arielhenry exile and some recent developments on the Gangs and the Police taking over the airports to prevent the Installed Prime Minister Dr. Ariel Henri returning to the island. Moreover, Fr. Joseph corrected earlier reports that 80 % of prisoners had escaped; indicating that 98 % of the prisoners escaped from three of the largest state prisons with criminals on death row and or those charged with the assassination of the then PM Jovenelle Moise in 2023. Furthermore, Fr. Hyvenson reported that the country is still in a state of emergency which we thought may be termed chaos; as the PM is now in Puerto Rico after being denied entry into DR. He was then asked by the US Department of State to step down which he plans to do when he travels to Jamaica where he is hoping to get the protection of the Jamaicans. In the meantime, Fr. Josephs reports that CARICOM is meeting with a select committee of Haitian Ministers to discuss a way forward. The prisoners remain at large with no plans to recapture them, while the police and the chief relationship sour over accusations of collusion with the gangs. The gangs had boldly announced that they were going to free the prisoners which they did.

BREAKING NEWS: The United States Supreme Court has made a groundbreaking decision, overturning Colorado’s lower court's ruling that barred former President Donald Trump from appearing on the ballot in Colorado. However, this decision diverges from a strict interpretation of the law, as it hinges on subjective interpretations rather than adhering strictly to legal precedent. The justices opted for an approach that emphasizes inferred implications rather than a direct measure of the law, setting a precedent that is both unprecedented and ominous in its potential ramifications. The US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Colorado’s lower court’s ruling to bar Trump from the ballot was based, in my estimation, on the implication of the law and not the spirit or measure of the law and constitution. This therefore sets a precedence imbuing the justices with the powers to challenge the Constitution by asserting their subjective opinions on the implications of following the spirit of the laws. Now let us see what their decision means for our lives going forward. In effect, that is what pertains from their finality on whether Trump violates the Constitution and deserves to run again. It opens the door for opportunists who may want to repeat January 6. While the courts kicked the matter to the politicians, it is important to point out that politicians are never best at making laws about themselves that limit their powers and while we wait for that to happen a repeat offender has the green light to do so again following their decision. Furthermore, what about state's rights and individual's rights? we are quick to appeal to states rights but now we are limiting states rights? According to reports from the Associated Press, the Supreme Court's decision marks a turning point in the ongoing debate over Trump's role in the 2024 presidential primaries. Rejecting efforts by several states to exclude Trump from the ballot due to his involvement in the Capitol riot, the Court emphasized that the authority to regulate presidential candidates lies within the purview of Congress, rather than individual states. This case represents a pivotal moment in constitutional interpretation, as it grapples with the implications of the 14th Amendment's post-Civil War provisions. Specifically, the Court's ruling addresses the amendment's intent to disqualify individuals who have "engaged in insurrection" from holding public office again.

In this Excerpt of Lecture 7, the students reflect on their experience and findings of a selected Caribbean Nation. Some of the students, if not all seem to suggest that many Caribbean people carry a grudge against Jamaicans as that was their experience when visiting there. The students discussed why this was so and highlighted how Jamaica had pulled out of the West Indian Federation in the 1950s and that in many islands such as Trinidad, Jamaicans are seen as hard-working and getting most of the profits.

In a world filled with challenges, it takes visionaries to step up and make a difference. Meet Sheldon McKenzie, a shining example of dedication and compassion, nominated as a candidate for the 2024 NYC Visionaries of the Year. Sheldon's journey is not just about personal achievement but about honoring the memory of his beloved grandmother and contributing to a cause close to his heart - the fight against leukemia. The year 2022 marked a significant loss for Sheldon as he bid farewell to his grandmother, who succumbed to leukemia. This heartbreaking experience became a catalyst for Sheldon's deep involvement in raising awareness and funds for leukemia research. His journey began when he joined his company, @usbank, in their participation in Light The Night, a campaign organized by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (@LLSusa). Sheldon, along with his team named Dare to Believe, embarked on a mission to make a tangible difference in the fight against leukemia. Their dedication and determination led them to explore various avenues to contribute meaningfully to the cause. Beyond simply participating in events, they sought to deepen their engagement and support for leukemia research, driven by a shared vision of finding a cure. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) has been at the forefront of leukemia research, advocacy, and patient support for decades. With their unwavering commitment to advancing treatments and ultimately finding a cure, LLS relies on the support and generosity of individuals and organizations like @usbank. Sheldon's nomination as a candidate for the 2024 NYC Visionaries of the Year is a testament to his outstanding efforts and leadership in this field. His determination to turn personal tragedy into a force for good exemplifies the spirit of a true visionary. Through his advocacy and fundraising initiatives, Sheldon not only honors his grandmother's memory but also brings hope to countless others affected by leukemia. It's crucial to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of companies like @usbank, who recognize the importance of corporate social responsibility and actively support causes that make a positive impact on society. Their partnership with LLS and commitment to initiatives like Light The Night underscores their dedication to giving back to the community and making a difference in the lives of those in need. As we applaud Sheldon McKenzie and his team, Dare to Believe, for their inspiring efforts, let us also recognize the importance of collective action in the fight against leukemia. Together, we can continue to support organizations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and individuals like Sheldon who are leading the charge towards a future free from this devastating disease. In honoring visionaries like Sheldon McKenzie, we not only celebrate their achievements but also reaffirm our commitment to building a brighter and healthier future for all. Let Sheldon's story serve as a reminder that each one of us has the power to make a difference, and together, we can create positive change that resonates far beyond ourselves.

A Wendy Williams Special News Report: Exploring The Role of Family in Human & Social Welfare Versus Wells Fargo's decision to appoint an independent family member with the court's blessings. In light of the Wendy Williams docu-series, one must ask a serious question about the professionalism of banks making CYS recommendations involving human and social welfare to the courts about care and guardianship of individuals when such recommendations need specialists trained and licensed to make that recommendation and decision. IT SHOULD BE HUMAN AND SOCIAL WELFARE WORKERS MAKING SUCH RECOMMENDATIONS to the courts. Furthermore, the CARE should include and involve FAMILIES. That has been the modus operandi of human and social services for decades, so what has changed, and what is going on?

Recently, it was revealed that Wendy Williams's bank accounts were frozen and she was appointed an Independent Guardian to provide care and administer Wendy’s affairs and life while her family was shut out, only to watch on the sidelines; orchestrated by Wells Fargo Bank acting as CYS Social Work Professionals making recommendation to the courts of this country who acted on that said recommendation without appropriating family statutes law and care that was best practice.

Child, youth, and family services are geared towards keeping families together in a safe environment with minimal safety risks and hazards, especially when this involves children. Programs such as FGDM are utilized today to identify next-of-kin or family/community in place of state and punitive services to treat and keep the family together. Wells Fargo's decision to get the courts to strip the family from providing care and guardianship of Wendy Williams at a time when she needs family is a draconian solution that has only exacerbated Wendy's problems. There is child care but also adolescent and adult care whereby agencies respond to the children's and entire families’ needs to help the adult become an able members of the community to serve themselves. Community and family. There are systems in place, but it seems as if in Wendy’s case the established system was not used.

Furthermore, it shows how the system and the private sectors work against already established best practices in human and social services in caring for the family. Banks and financial sectors should never make decisions about family care. The banks should have alerted the relevant care providers or make a recommendation. If anything the courts should have thrown out the case as the banks lack precedence and jurisdiction to make such a determination given their lack of training in this regard. Further, the courts should have never sided with the banks to block the family from planning and providing care for Wendy. This suggests collusion and corruption and is a step backward. Moreover, the HHS has been promoting family care in their assisted living programs and services, so the fact that the family is now involved in care to not disrupt the family connections which is pivotal to adult and CYS care and empowerment of individuals in the community.

The docuseries, although hard to watch and said to be exploiting Wendy, was necessary as it revealed a truth about how the courts and banks work to shut out families from their family members' care against what CYS professionals promote. I hope that this will provide openness to discussing care and how banks must never get involved in such decisions. It also puts We...

The Lecture this week was multifaceted and covered a wide: Exploring The islands of The Caribbean and The Limitations of Garveyism, Black Nationationasm and NeoLiberal Globalization. The Lecture delivered by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, Author of NeoLiberal Globalization Reconsidered, Adjunct Professor in Caribbean Thought at Jamaica Theological Seminary. The class was very interactive and engaging as the students provided a report describing the Caribbean Islands. However, the class reviewed last week's Lecture entitled: The Paradox of Sovereignty: Cuba and Haiti's Struggle for Freedom and the Challenge of Development (Chapter Excerpt). We answered the Brain Teaser Quiz and delved deeper into what the activity revealed or was driving home. Brain Teaser: Quiz What do Haiti and Cuba not have in common with D.R., Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados? 1. Poorest in the world 2. Black and brown peoples 3. Granted freedoms 4. Taken Freedoms 5. Embargoes and shaky diplomacy and international relations 6. Debt, dependency and non-competitiveness 7. Formerly colonized Options: A. 2, 5, 6 and 7 B. 1, 4 and 5 C. 1 only 3 D. 3 and 4 E. 1, 3, and 4 F. All of the above The Answer Reveals A Complex Tapestry of Independence and Adversity. With its vibrant cultures, rich histories, and diverse peoples, the Caribbean region has long been a subject of fascination and study. A Deeper Look: Taken Freedoms and Nationalist Independence Leads to Mixed Results. In the mosaic of the Caribbean, two nations, Cuba and Haiti, stand out not only for their vibrant cultures and tumultuous histories but also for the unique paths they traversed in their quests for freedom and independence. While their counterparts, including the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados, attained their freedoms through colonial concessions, Cuba and Haiti defiantly seized their destinies, forging independent nations amid the crucible of revolution and resistance. However, the seemingly noble act of self-liberation has been fraught with profound challenges, perpetuating a paradox wherein the pursuit of sovereignty has engendered poverty, instability, and diplomatic isolation on the world stage. Cuba and Haiti's decision to take their freedoms into their own hands, eschewing the shackles of colonial rule, is emblematic of their fierce determination to chart autonomous development trajectories. Haiti's groundbreaking revolution in 1804 shattered the chains of slavery, establishing the world's first black republic and inspiring oppressed peoples globally to aspire for liberation. Similarly, Cuba's revolutionary struggle in the 20th century, culminating in Fidel Castro's ascent to power in 1959, heralded a new era of socialist governance and national sovereignty. However, the euphoria of liberation soon collided with the harsh realities of post-colonial existence as both nations grappled with.... Notes available in #theneoliberalcommentary via LinkedIn on Sunday 2.26.24. The Lecture then segwayed into the new topic on: Question: What distinguishes Haiti and Cuba from the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados? Please answer and provide a brief synopsis of these islands, their socio-political economy, religions, demographics and histories, and their current position today?

In Lecture 6 at the Jamaica Theological Seminary, we continue to explore Caribbean History but as part of the American American experience and the Pan-African experience. We picked up from Lecture 5 sharing a voice-over lecture where Renaldo interact and narrates a material about Caribbean History and DNA. The Lecture then explored the comparative differences between the Caribbean islands and began to discuss the independence and freedoms of black peoples in the Caribbean and the diaspora as an experience that connects the post-colonial peoples in the new world. We utilized a video which features C.L.R James a West Indian mind that has contributed to critical history of the Caribbean and the Haitian Revolution. We touched on Latin Caribbean and the Cuban Revolution, and the civil rights leaders connections to the Caribbean and their experience. The class continues next week. The end is just the beginning.

On this episode of The Neoliberal Round, David Fair provided an update on the homelessness crisis in Philadelphia, with news of the city of Philadelphia's plan to close several transitional housing programs. The episode begins with a short introduction lifting up a breaking news from the interview then we went straight into the interview and discussions.Renaldo began the dialogue with David like this: "l'd like to welcome back David Fair to the podcast. David, the last time we spoke, we delved into the pressing issue of homelessness in Philadelphia. You emphasized the need for increased funding and a reevaluation of how the city identifies and supports the homeless population, noting that the current method may underestimate the true numbers. Today, I'm eager to hear about any developments since our last conversation.Furthermore, I noticed your recent LinkedIn comment regarding a new bill aimed at providing a subsidy for those aging out of the foster care system, (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/davidfairpartners_congressman-robert-garcia-and-congresswoman-activity-7155232416587010048-S1q4?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop). This bill, introduced by Congressman Robert Garcia and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, proposes a guaranteed basic income of $1,000 per month for young adults exiting foster care for five years. This initiative has the potential to significantly impact the lives of foster youth, potentially reducing youth homelessness and the demand for various support services, (see https://omar.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-robert-garcia-and-congresswoman-ilhan-omar-introduces-bill-provide). However, as with any new legislation, there are questions and considerations. I've expressed some skepticism about the bill's implications for homeless youth and potential drawbacks such as its impact on workforce participation. Today, I'd love to explore these aspects further with you.Once again, welcome to the podcast, David. It's a pleasure to have you here to discuss these crucial issues."In summary, David provided some breaking news updates and also elaborated on a recent initiative by Congresswoman Ilhan and Congressman Garcia to provide a monthly subsidy to youths aging out of the foster care system.David also commented on the recent departure of the Head of the Office of Homelessness Services and that the department was 25 million dollars in the red due to overspending that does not seem to be directly related to curbing homelessness.
