Dontá: The Vulnerable Truth

I've often wondered what level of parenting I'm on. I feel like I do a good job being a parent, but how do we really know how good of a job that were actually doing. Where's the data, the grade system or the blueprint? I feel like I had some fun with this one. I think that sometimes us parents give ourselves too much credit and sometimes not enough credit. Here's to parenting, cheers! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/vulnerabletruth/support

This one goes a little deeper into the thought process for me. Looking at our country, school shootings, politics, inner cities, disagreements, one thing that relates to all of these are the aggressive and violent tendencies that come with them. Looking at how many children that's lost their lives to violence, another thing stood out. We can't blame Democrats or Republicans, that's obviously a system setup to fail. It's more so the lack of our positive input and teachings, it's the lack of community, it's the selfishness that has conquered compassion. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/vulnerabletruth/support

When fighting racism a group of people tend to come out with they're input, like it's up to them if we fight or not or if we're allowed to share our experiences. They are missing something extremely obvious, no one need their approval. We don't care if approval is given or not. Every time that someone feel the need to speak on a life experience that doesn't belong to them there will be a reminder of the control that they do not have. We speak up alone or with each other, which is not something that can be said for racist people. They need their group in their physical presence to have a voice. Better yet to have an echo. Soon those echoes will become whispers. I guess me saying that no one can control or have a say so in our experiences is infringement on their 1st amendment rights. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/vulnerabletruth/support
