A dramatically different short story that speaks to the heart strings of young people and adults in today's America it is available now for pre-order on amazon.com written by Michael D Beckford. Ahmaud Aubrey was a victim of racial profiling Is there brother I'm at Aubrey was killed cold-blooded in Brunswick Georgia trying to defend himself. These white vigilantes killed him in the process of what they calling a quote unquote citizens arrest. His brother did not commit a crime at the very least he trespassed on a property that wasn't even fully constructed yet which as we all know trespassing is a minor offense he's not commit a burglary that was no violent crime involved and this should have never ever have happened to this young man. Gone too soon as his life because of the actions of these Three goons. 2. This was a KKK style killing When I first saw this video last year which I could not really complete the whole thing to this day these videos really make me emotionally charged so I really try to stay away from him but when I watched enough to know what happened and see what's going on it surely reminded me of the days of you know the KKK The mask to vigilantes for white power and white supremacy went around killing black people for position for power and to completely terrorize black neighborhoods. So when I watch this video I realized that this was a KKK style killing of another unarmed black man. . 3. The police and the da should also be up for charges for falsifying information It wasn't until certain video was released in regards to this killing that we started to find that the police and the da is complicit in the murder of Vermont Aubrey they try to rub it off and say oh yeah just a burglary and other black kid doing this during that and someone was protecting their quote unquote property which you know in America property is a contentious thing because we as blacks were once considered the very thing for which they feel they have to outright defend by force but as we all know especially those who claim to be Christian property you can get back you can rebuild but we'll never be able to get back and rebuild on Aubrey's life and a da and the police should be also prosecuted it's in the best of the law in regards to them being complicit and it's deadly act by these white vigilantes. and with the da and police help these murderous vigilantes could have gotten away with it. Where is Sleepy Joe? Unfortunately it seems that sleepy Joe has been pretty mute and regards to this particular case I'm assuming he doesn't want to sway the courts but where is sleepy Joe I don't know. Let's Take Em To Church This world needs a reset since the pandemic has been a strong tense atmosphere of racism and prejudice in America, anti-black, anti-asian and anti everyone else.

If Kyle Rittenhouse really wants us to believe that he just went over to Kenosha Wisconsin a state that he's not from not a registered gun over there a minor if he just wants us to believe he went there to call Nicole protect property then I got some ice cold water to sell to Eskimos right now. Rittenhouse clearly went there with the intention but it was an assault rifle to do bodily harm to some people. It was a black lives matter protest protesting the shooting of an unarmed black man by the name of Jacob Blake which obviously turned into a very contentious situation within Wisconsin all within the missed all of the recent George Floyd protest at that time. Rent house is a fraud because he wants to claim self-defense but his intentions we're not good especially there was a recent video released of him and a friend in front of basically casing CVS looking at people walking out with whatever saying that he would have put some rounds into these individuals if he had his gun on them at the time. This guy is clearly a fraud and everyone knows it but he's become a hero on the right unfortunately. 2. The Judge should recuse himself. This judge is poor judge has given so much grace to Kyle Rittenhouse is his name is not it's laughable to be quite honest with us. This judge should recuse himself because clearly he is leaning towards giving this murderer more leniency than he does the victims of the crime. And it started with him not allowing the prosecutors to even call the victims he sat there as a daddy for Kyle Rittenhouse l had his crocodile tear moments. And he deeply rebuked and I'm honest the prosecution. I believe in my opinion that this judge as a trump loving make a great America great again Republican. Now there's nothing wrong with his belief system I'm not a big fan of the Democrats right now either but when you use your own beliefs to manipulate this type of trial sort of a trial of the century if you would then that's what a problem becomes evident as and why he needs to fire himself. 3. 2 innocent victims died that day in Kenosha and 1 was severely injured. One cannot be missed of the fact that two victims died that day in Kenosha that didn't have to die.. this rent house guy clearly went to Kenosha with an agenda he can blame it on self-defense all he wants but he doesn't have the self-defense to protect property that's not his and he can't claim self-defense when he really went there for a fight. My heart is heavy for the victims I myself have been a part of protest peaceful protest at that and I also seeing how protest can get agitated and people can get aggravated but never should we start pointing guns at each other because one disagrees with the other rent house is dead wrong and he should be placed under the prison. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/michael-beckford7/message

No monthly payments or additional fees.There is a 90 day 100% Money Back Guarantee. LET'S GET PUBLISHED in 90 days or less available on MichaelBeckfordBrands.com 1.Debunk The Myths Let's go ahead and debunk these myths now and forever. Contrary to popular beliefs black fathers whether young, old, gay or straight love their kids. No matter if they like to have a pants hanging down or their pants up like Steve urkel. Black fathers love their kids. So with that being stated I want people to understand that black men aren't just out here having kids and not taking care of their responsibilities. Now of course you are going to have a few bad apples and a bunch that skeets in everything and walks away never to be seen again. Some of that is the black man fault and some of that is the women's fault for allowing what you know to be a no good nigga cum all in your walls. Now that we have the graphic part of this conversation over with let's start really talking about why black do love their kids. 2. I Have Seen Men Cry and Wail Over Their kids How do I know this well I was one of the ones crying and wailing over my child.A Few years back me and my child's mother with my child in the middle of it all got into a huge verbal altercation. It was the Pinnacle of what has defined our relationship today. But to not making a long story essentially it was a reference to custody and visitation of my child. My daughter was 2 years old roughly 2 years old at a time. And as she's approaching the eve of her 6 years a life on November 7th. I have realized I have grown a newfound love for my daughter as she shows me and her unconditional love that couldn't quite be explained when she was 2 years old. Now that she's able to make out a full sentences and speak so intelligently. I know without a shadow of a doubt within my mind that I love my daughter and I'm grateful to God that she's in my life. 3. Women Stop Using Kids As a Tool To Spite the Father That Left You. He Left you not his child. Sadly we see the replay button on this over and over again where as women weaponized their kids against the father in order to push the father out of the life of his child. And believe me because of women has a lot more rights than a man especially if you guys were not married. That woman has a lot of weapons to be able to use to draw ain't against the father and push him away not only from her essentially but sadly I'll wait from his child. So sadly as the argument goes when individuals say that nigga ain't shit and go on Instagram live talking about their baby daddy this and that little the people know that there's always two sides to the story. Why? Because I genuinely believe that black men do love their kids and they love their kids to help financially emotionally and spiritually as long as there is a healthy connection between the father and the baby mama. Praise God that the mother of my child and I are not where we 3 years ago but we can do better in the communication department today. She's a great mother and allows me to freely have opportunity to see my daughter and be and my daughter's life so show her unconditional love that she can only get when she has a balance of both mother and father in her life. Happy birthday Mila Destiny Beckford. Let's Take Em To Church Black fathers come in all shapes and sizes we love our kids just as much as the next man. Just because we may be outside of the household it doesn't mean that we are not in our children's lives. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/michael-beckford7/message

The Forgotten ones is available exclusively now on https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086R82NV3 1.This World is run by rich men with ill intentions. By design a system which we are living under right now the whole world system is living on the governments of oppression suppression all to enable the rich. No I have no issues with someone being rich being wealthy whatever the term is I have no issue at all with it. Well I do have an issue with is the politics the deception and wickedness of many people that are rich they have no intentions for good for the people of the world. 2. They will rather treat you than cure you. Big Pharma recognized a long time ago that the gold in their patents is not in the cure of a disease it is in the treatment of a disease. It is a lot less profitable to cure herpes then it is to treat herpes. It is a big money making machine for organizations like Susan G Komen to go around touting about let’s find a cure for cancer when they are paying a lot of the dividends from these particular donations to upper management. And you have these big players in the HIV business that can get somebody all the way down to a status called undetectable but yet say we don’t have a cure. Why because the money is in keeping you and I sick and on their beds no matter what the adverse reaction is. 3. Do all lives really matter? If there truly will be a cure for coronavirus which I’m sure there is it will come with a lot of stipulations attached to it. Those stipulations can be mandatory everyone have to have the drug in order to be able to work and go about your life. Another stipulation would be that they will insert the microchip into this very antivirus that is supposed to heal us. I have a hard time trusting rich men like Bill Gates that have alternate agenda for the people. It says that even the devil can come in like an angel of light and with all the good that Bill Gates has been claimed to have done he definitely has some darkness looming in the shadows. 3. Let’s Take Em To Church this world is wicked it is ran by the prince of darkness I am just so sick and tired of seeing the rampage evil that takes place in the atmosphere I pray that God heals this world heals our minds heals our souls and if it is truly his time to return Lord please help us all.

As a staunch supporter of my people black people I am looking that when we all get over this particular pandemic that we can find some layers of equality within our nation. Layers for which we have not gotten at all. Charlemagne the god preaches on the breakfast club if the government can find $2 trillion out of nowhere to pay for this coronavirus relief efforts the government can pay back reparations. This is the only way that blacks will be able to get equal footing in this land we call the United States of America for which we our ancestors have built upon this nation. 2. Do you really want to go back to normal? Many individuals have already found a way to be able to monetize work from home and be just as productive or more productive from their homes why do you want to go back to normal with congested streets pollution and other unhealthy things that keep this planet towards the breaking point. Normal has not been good to our world and normal certainly has not been good to our health. Many have already just dead lives and found a new normal it’s only a matter of time that these new practices will be the law of the land. 3.

They are holding us back my from being able to be to buy a simple slice of bread.

The Government is Not Playing We here in United States especially Christians love to tout separation of church and state. We also talk big about the right to be able to worship well what happens when there is a pandemic? What powers does the government really have to determine where the pastor and his or her flock can freely worship? Howlong does the government have these broad powers to systematically shut down churches? 3. Should we believe God‘s word or the government. This could be a bit tricky here because depending on what side you are on as far as this argument is concerned you can relatively use the Bible to argue both sides just like they did slavery so the honest answer is we should always believe God but their scriptures that speak on having respect for government bananas also scripture that speaks on God‘s laws being above all others I’ll let you do the interpretation Let’s Take Em To Church The church as we know it is moving at a very fragile beat there is no one I can say that they stepped up to the plate to comfort the masses that believe in our God we must admit this is taking us all by surprise but if any Christian believing believer has read any scripture in revelations they should not be surprised at all.

The web of secrets grow deeper, and the cost of drugs becomes an increasingly expensive habit to be addicted too.

A natural growing plant which has no recorded deaths of overdose. Being locked up may not even be the worse part. Watching the political moves by various states to implement weed aka marijuana as a ‘legal’ recreational drug while billon dollar enterprises get in on the act. Well— that should be considered a crime. At the very least. Downright shameful. Brothas and sistas have become slaves in those prisons. Now they see a profit and the tides are shifting. :90 It was never about public health If weed was about public health, Colorado and other states would have just had medical marijuana, not pass laws for recreational use. With medical marijuana there is only but a limited customer base which in turn means lower tax dollars. But by Colorado and other states making recreational mariguana use ‘Legal’ it widens the base of potential customers therefore ensuring huge windfalls for both state and local government, and the growers and distributors. But nobody is asking the right questions like? Will some of those tax dollars go to rehabilitations and facilitation of the vast majority of people that look like me who had been locked up and served with severe minimum sentences for weed? An injustice has taken place. Its time for some of these phony politicians to make it right and foot the bill to help our people. :30 Donald Trump Said What :30 Take Em To Church Lets took a close look in the mirror.

Now— lets fast forward. :90 The Water Box Jaden Smith and his team has engineered a brilliant mobile water filtration system to help the residents of Flint, Michigan. This is a feat he has done despite years of politics, blame game and downright dont-care about black people on the local and state governments. Our federal government is also to blame because Flint citizens are also American citizens and Americans deserve to have clean water everywhere. We as a nation spend billions of dollars on whimsical military projects and nation building, while neglecting the very citizens right here at home. Rome fell from the inside out because it forgot about the very least of them that needed pivotal resources to survive. I am enthralled and the citizens of Flint are happy with this philanthropic effort by Jaden and his family. But why should tax payers and the residents of Flint who are still forcibly paying for led water have to have an outsider to come in and be the redeeming grace. What happened to government. Was there a total lapse in judgement? Did the system totally fail? We hear you Flint, But are we listening? :30 Donald Trump Said What?? :30 Take Em To Church We should not expect government to take care of us. Our government on all levels have shown US that we have to take care of our own. I pray for the people of Flint, Michigan. And I pray for people around the world that are in the struggle for clean disease and led free water. :15 Download your copy of ‘Dirty Negroes’ today Exclusively on amazon.com Want to enjoy more great content.

There is a lot a truth to this, but along with a great microphone, you also need a pop filter and of course the software to record your episodes onto your computer. So---here’s a hint, you can literally go on amazon.com today and be up and ready to star your five minute show by Monday for less than $100. 1. Blue Microphone ( This is what I use). It is a great microphone and can be used for a multitude of things. 2. Pop Filter (this helps with voice breath noise reduction). You will be surprised by the amount of breathing that happens when we talk. Well--we can't help this. But we can reduce it. 3. Leapic audio editor (this program is free) You an use it in its entirety for free and after a few weeks you will get the hang of it.  If you are a techy person, maybe a lot sooner than that. I maybe migrating to another platform because this software does crash alot. Which gets annoying, otherwise if you are on a shoe-string budget this is certainly a great option. Finally I have recorded all of my episodes thus far in my walk-in closet. When you are starting out like myself and you have no sponsors for your show i.e. money. You have to do what you have to do, find yourself a quiet place that you can record quality podcast episodes. Your audience wouldn’t even know it. :30 Take Em To Church We all have the gift to say something meaningful. So--- say it. Start your podcast, be a gift to the world. No this is not a money making machine right now. But it can be used as a tool to help build your brand and touch someone’s life in the process.
