I Take Responsibility Celebrity Cringe #ITakeResponsibility – Dom B Podcast   Once again, the celebrities are at it with total cringe. Trying their very best to send a message we don’t want to hear from them. These celebrities who are stating they take responsibility are reading from a script and are trying to over-act while they do it. Let’s not forget the sad tones coming from the sad piano music. This is not what we need and these celebrities are completely tone def. The celebs include Sarah Paulson, Julianne Moore, Justin Theroux, Stanley Tucci, Aaron Paul and others.

Have we really reached the point of the fall of America as we were told by the Elijah Muhammad? Is America headed for civil unrest here in America? 

Sheneisha speaks with Dr. Kennetth Joseph about what it's like to be a first-generation American or immigrant working in corporate America right now. He shares his unique insight and experiences with us and more.Connect with Kennetth on LinkedIn and IG!TRANSCRIPTSheneisha: What's going on, family? It's Sheneisha of Living Corporate, and today we're gonna have that conversation. We're gonna have that conversation of "What is it like to be a first time/generation American or immigrant in America right now working in corporate?" "What is it like to have a seat at the table?" And not only have a seat at the table as a person of color, but to have a seat at the table carrying the torch for your family, for your generation - being the first to do it. What are those experiences like? And today we have Dr. Kennetth Joseph, who is a pharmacist--a strategic pharmacist working for one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in America right now. Kennetth is going to share his insight on what it's like to be the first, what has been his experience, what has he been exposed to, and his outlook on being the first-generation American within his family to work at a corporate capacity. And if you guys haven't already--I don't know why you haven't, but--go ahead and give us 5 stars for the podcast, as well as follow us on Instagram. I hope you guys enjoy the conversation that is being had between Kennetth and myself, and just stay tuned. All right, Ken. So how do you identify yourself? We're speaking on first-generation American immigrant in corporate America. How does Kennetth--Dr. Kennetth Joseph--identify himself?Kennetth: Great question. I mean, first and foremost I feel like being "the famous first," as what my family likes to call it, it's just a blessing and an honor, and if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have made it this far, because they [?] me along the way. Now, in regards to how I identify myself, I am a Haitian-American. You know, my parents came here in the '80s from Haiti, and the rest is history.Sheneisha: All right, all right. I hear you. [?] '80s. All right. [laughs] Okay, so as a first-generation Haitian-American, how do you identify yourself in corporate America? Do you still identify yourself as a Haitian-American, or are you just black American, American--like, how do you identify yourself in corporate?Kennetth: Yeah. Good color and clarity to the question, because it's still the same. I make a good point at work, even in a corporate capacity, to make sure folks know that I am Haitian-American. Everybody knows I'm from South Florida. There's palm trees on my desk. Everyone knows I'm Haitian first and then American. I speak Creole. You know, at the times we play music at work I play some kompa (konpa), so I really try to embrace my culture and not let corporate America dictate who I am as a person and where I came from.Sheneisha: I definitely think that's major. I know a lot of times we can have the whole identity crisis in corporate America, trying to conform to what they would like us to be or what they would assume that we should be in that capacity. It's almost as if you identify as anything else outside of just black, African-American, then it's almost as if you're challenging the culture. Or am I a little bit too far off to the left?Kennetth: Well, I'll say yes [?], right? So when you think about [?], that's a bucket of everyone with more pigmentation to their skin, right? Some folks even put the darker-toned Indians or Mexicans under the bucket of "black" just because it's a color, right? The reason why I call out Haitian-America is because that's my culture, you know? Toussaint Louverture led the rebellion in the Caribbean that led to the rebellion in America by way of the Louisiana Purchase. So there's a lot of rich history and culture, so I use that to anchor myself, because it's that courage that I use, [?] my ancestors fought, that I continue to fight and, you know, kind of pave the way for the legacy I'm trying to leave on this earth. Sheneisha: That's real, that's real. Do you feel challenged by this when you're at work? Do you feel challenged when you walk the halls or sit at your desk or sit in a conference room?Kennetth: I do, honestly, to a degree. I'll say that, you know, working in corporate America, especially in pharma, you know, I have a [?]--I am a pharmacist by trade, but I'm the only pharmacist in my division. I'm the only black male in my division, and I'm the only Haitian [?], you know? So there's a lot of layers that I feel like I have to make sure I'm cognizant of, but I also try to [?] others within, you know, the layers of me, you know? Because being of a diverse background in a majority-white capacity, or majority Caucasian, for lack of a better word, you know, you must take it upon yourself to educate the masses. I feel like, you know, ignorance is a state of unawareness, right? So we use any opportunity to educate folks about our culture, be it African-American, be it Haitian-American, Jamaican-American, or even [pure?] thereof. That's why I really make a point of it. So if you asked anybody from the VP all the way down to the janitors, they all know I'm Haitian-American. Sheneisha: And then a first-generation American. So what influence does this have on your day-to-day interactions with your colleagues, being a first-generation Haitian-American? What influence do you think this has?Kennetth: I think it gives a greater sense of urgency. You know, like I said, my parents came to the states in the '80s. I'm the youngest of five. My parents actually had two kids that were in Haiti. Before they left, the kids were of age. They made the decision--my oldest siblings, my oldest brother and sister, they made the decision to stay in Haiti, so my mom and my dad came to South Florida. Once they got packing, made it to the area, and had to my two older brothers--excuse me, my older brother and my older sister and myself, for a total of five, that's when it really hit me, you know? Every time I think back to it. Like, "I'm my mom's last hope. I'm my dad's last hope." And, you know, it's funny when you go from the first--excuse me, from the last to the first. So that's why, you know, my family, they have the [notion of?] "the famous first," you know? So now I segue into being the first in my company as a first-generation Haitian-American, being the first black pharmacist on my team. It's a lot of newness, so it's--I don't know. It boggles my mind, but it also fuels me, and I think that knowing that I'm the first I have to continue to fight. So going back to that sense of courage, because, you know, walking into work every day when you're the only one that looks like you, walking into work every day where no one truly understands or sometimes even appreciates your background, but, you know, you take pride in it because that's your identity, that's who you are. So once again, that's why I try to educate folks, and any opportunity I have, you know, stopping by the bathroom, you know, walking to the bathroom or a quick drink of coffee, you know, having lunch, I always try to insert a little bit about my background, about my heritage, to better edify folks so they understand who I am, not just as an employer or coworker but as a person.Sheneisha: That's deep, that's deep. So you said before, and you mentioned I think, like, twice, about having to fight. What exactly are you fighting in corporate America as a first-generation American or immigrant? Like, what are you fighting against?Kennetth: Well, I guess I used the term fight because that's what life is, right? Life is a battlefield, and, you know, I have a competitive spirit, and I think [?] unlocks that competitive spirit when I use that type of word choice. So I'm very meticulous when it comes to word choice, 'cause words are the precursor to actions, but the fight itself is really just trying to understand how to navigate, you know? I'm big on mentorship as well, because I've been mentored throughout my entire life, throughout my matriculation in the College of Pharmacy and even thereafter, and I, you know, gave back in the same sense. So, you know, I'm a mentor to, you know, pharmacy students, business students, just folks across the nation either directly, by way of my alma mater [?], or folks just reaching out on LinkedIn. We hit it off, and they continue to come to me for insight and guidance, but the fight comes when, you know, the story changes, right? There's different phases in life, so growing up it was easy to get that guidance because there was always somebody willing to help, right? Call it more of a community-type ideal, right? It takes a village. So there's always somebody in the village that's willing to help, but that village you come from is people that look like you, come from the same backgrounds as you, have the same type of fight in themselves as you. You know, if it's an older individual, you know, they try to live vicariously through you, so they want to see you succeed. In corporate America, you know, it's more--it's almost like a lonely fight, you know, because since there's so little folks that look like you, let alone any [?] depend upon, you know, the division, the capacity, so on and so forth. You know, you may not interact with anybody who looks like you or understands you to that degree on a day-to-day. So for me it is a different sense of urgency and a fight, if you will, because it's a battle, right? And being the quote-unquote "famous first" in my family, I choose to fight. It's a noble fight, you know, because I came from a long legacy of fighters, going all the way back to the Haitian-American culture and heritage of Touissant Louverture, who led that rebellion once again. You know, I always make mention of that because it reminds me to rebel against the norm, you know? It's not every day that you see a first-generation Haitian-American go and get a terminal degree, leave South Florida, which is a comfort zone, you know, for my heritage and my background, go to Chicago where--although Chicago was actually founded by a Haitian Frenchman, there's not much Haitians in Chicago. So it's a neverending fight, but like I said, I use that term to kind of trigger myself to have that sense of courage and perseverance. Sheneisha: You mentioned about mentorship and being in corporate America and having a mentor. I want to do a shameless plug and talk about your Manhood on the Go foundation, where you are mentoring others as well--which I know you mentioned pharmacy students, business students, and those who reached out to you on LinkedIn. How did you come about being a part of Manhood on the Go? I want to do that brief segue. So how did you get into doing Manhood on the Go? Was it inspired, again, by you being a first-generation American?Kennetth: Yeah, and I would say because the actual founder is Iman Sandifer, a good friend of mine from South Florida as well. He is not Haitian. He is African-American, but it's once again that commonality of being from South Florida, being a first-generation, you know--I'll save his story for another day. Maybe he can share it through this platform, but it's that commonality when you're in the village, being that he came from where I came from. We had a lot of similar thoughts, you know? We were like-minded individuals trying to obtain that common goal. That common goal was, you know, breaking the barriers of the past and making sure that we're capitalizing on the opportunities of life. So I met Iman on the campus of Florida A&M University, and we just hit it off, you know? One of our greatest passions was mentorship, and I actually first met him while we were mentoring for a research program that was funded by Florida State University that had a research product that they were, you know, trying [?] comparative analysis on "at-risk youth," is what they call it, but it was basically kids that grew up like him and I grew up. So when he started the foundation and, you know, asked me to a part of it, you know, it didn't take much for me to just jump in full-heartedly and give it my all, because that's one of the places where we mesh well and we have that same goal. So now we just want to help folks that came from where we came from and are trying to head to, you know, bigger and better things like we are.Sheneisha: Look, that's powerful, to get out there and share what you've been given and to make sure that you're encouraging others to do the same and to go after things and having that passion and that drive. I think that's dope. That's dope. That's super dope.Kennetth: Yeah. I mean, it's reach as we climb, and each one teach one, right? So [?] came up with that name, Manhood on the Go. It's like--as a young black man in America myself, you know, I'm Haitian-American, himself a young African-American, but once again [?] is the notion of a black man, you know? We're always grinding, right? You know, we have that saying, [?], you know? It starts off in the village, if you will, and then once you go into your--whatever [?] you take but for others [?], right? So I remember I was going to class and class and then going to the extracurricular organizations, being in a fraternity, [?], myself being on a wrestling team, being a part of all of these different organizations on-campus, off-campus and the community. Always on the go, always on the go, but one of the things that we do is we put manhood first, because that's one of the biggest things for us, because we want to make sure that we keep that spirit up because there are [?] men looking at us. You know, there's qualities in him and I that other young men are looking for mentorship on, you know? So we always make sure that we're cognizant of that. You know, you never know who's looking at you. You never know who's aspiring to be like you, and, you know, folks may not always reach out for help, but you'd be surprised how much of an influence you could have, both indirectly and directly. So, you know, when folks reach out, it's a humbling experience for myself and for them, because, you know, that's how that connection is made, but even for those individuals who are just looking from afar, you know, that's that indirect influence that we're still keen on.Sheneisha: So speaking on influence, how do your culture impact your work ethic? Your work ethic, your relationships. Let's talk about that. How does your culture impact that?Kennetth: All right, we're going there. [laughs]Sheneisha: [laughs] Let's go all the way. Since we're here, let's go all the way.Kennetth: [laughs] I'll start off with work ethic. So, you know, both of my parents are, you know, extremely hard-working individuals. You know, going back to my upbringing, they have--well, I guess society would call it a blue-collar background, right? And I just remember my dad working tirelessly throughout the days, 'cause he was in construction. Like, it's a different beast when you have to wake up at 3:00 in the morning, be at work at 4:00, and you're not getting off until 7:00, you know? My mom worked at a hotel, and I remember growing up--while we were at school she was at home, and then while we were at home she was at work. So she'd work the evening shift because, you know, there's not much jobs for refugees so you have to get it how you live. And I remember her walking, you know, 10 miles to get to work during the hot sun, at the peak of the hot sun, and then walking home at night, you know, [through] crazy areas of South Florida. So it's a different--it's a different bite, if you will. You know, you gotta have that bite. I feel like I take those same work ethics with me to corporate America. You know, I'm not afraid to go in extra early, to leave extra late, just to make sure that I'm giving it my all, you know? I consider myself a subject matter expert in the area that I work in, and it's because I put in those hours that once I got to that point where I had that confidence to be considered a subject matter expert, that's when I put that knowledge to work, you know? It's always taking things to the next level. So to answer your question more directly, I think that's what my culture is as far as my work ethic. It's that grind, you know? No matter what your capacity is, because [?] a white-collar worker, but having that blue-collar background, that's what really feels--to me is the best part of being who I am, because it's a dangerous combination, but in a good way. Now, relationships... culturally? I mean, Creole is a combination of French and African dialects, so it's a combination of languages, and I feel like that French side of the culture is where the relationship aspect comes from, because, I mean, my parents were--my parents were lovers, you know? My dad was a lover and a provider. My mom was a lover and a nurser, and myself, I consider myself [?], you know? But I think that passion transcends into relationships as well. So I love hard, you know? Going back to that fight, you know, I'm always in a sense of the battle, right? Like I said, it's word choice. It's a play on words to kind of trigger myself to make sure I'm doing my best and my due diligence, but even in relationships, you know, I don't waste time fearlessly, you know, going out on dates and meeting folks. I take relationships seriously, because once again it goes back to the legacy I'm trying to leave, right? And knowing that, coming from where I came from and being where I am today, it's a blessing, you know? It's a powerful opportunity to maximize on this thing called life and all of the blessings that come with it. Sheneisha: Okay, okay. So how does that transcend your work relationships with your management, with higher-ups, with your colleagues. Those work relationships, how does your culture impact them as well?Kennetth: I think it's a good impact because my work relationships are strong, you know, industry-wide and within my company. In my previous capacities, when I was working for one of the largest pharmacy chains in America, I had more of a client-facing role. In my current role on the pharma side I'm more on an in-house capacity, but my previous role is where I built my industry relationships. You know, I was in a national position. I traveled all over the country, and now going to the pharma capacity, coming from the pharmacy world, it's a newfound appreciation for true pharmacy operations. And all the relationships that I built is based off my credibility and ability to be that subject matter expert. So they're confident in me and what I bring to the table, so building that relationship is natural. Also, you know, they often rely on me as, like, the consultant when it comes to things that fall under my niche, which is [?] pharmacy. So to answer your question more directly, 'cause I know I get to it roundabout sometimes, I feel like my culture, and just coming from that hard work ethic background, really provided me the opportunity to do my due diligence on the front end early in my career that allowed me to more easily establish relationships, you know, on the clock and off the clock. So I'm a genuine person. It doesn't matter the parameters or the confines or the time of the day, you know? Ken that you meet between the hours of 9-5 is the same Ken that you're gonna meet between the hours of 5-9, so.Sheneisha: Yeah, I definitely believe you should always, you know, be yourself regardless. I know it's kind of hard sometimes in that setting to be you when you're hard-pressed on every side and they want you to conform to the culture or what they have built and created, but going into that, you know, when does the switch happen? You know, when does the switch happen for you? I know sometimes they say we have the voice that we put on when we're at work or when we're around our colleagues, but when does the switch happen for Ken? To be you or to be who they want you to be in the work setting?Kennetth: Hm. So I'll share a funny story with you. When I graduated and got an opportunity to relocate to Chicago from Florida and work in a corporate capacity at the pharmacy headquarters, that's when the switch happened, because it--you know, I didn't always have this confidence in myself professionally. I didn't always have this confidence in my ability to [?] and, you know, try to edify folks with my culture, my background. It was a shock, you know? I grew up in South Florida, went to Florida A&M University [?]. HBCU, so, you know, came from a diverse set of people in South Florida. You know, HBCUs are known for being diverse with rich black cultures, you know, of all types. And then I moved to the suburbs of Chicago, where it was zero--and I looked it up on Wikipedia--it was 0.03 black.Sheneisha: Oh, wow.Kennetth: It was a shock, you know? It was one of the greatest learning lessons of my life, because it was at that time I had to make that decision - you know, do I switch to something new, or do I switch up the [swag?] of what folks do in that capacity. You know, black folks being surrounded by people who don't look like them, and try to conform to the environment. I chose to stay true to myself, you know? I call it my [enrollment campaign?]. Transform, not conform, and I made sure that I transformed into a new version of myself but stayed true to who I was at the core, and then that just continued on throughout the rest of my career up to date and hopefully until, you know, the end.Sheneisha: That's real, that's real. 'Cause I know a lot of times we get into the whole "impostor syndrome" or when you answer the phone, you know, in my environment, it goes from--if one of my friends calls me, "Hey, yo, what's up?" to if one of my colleagues call me, "Hi. Yes, you've reached Sheneisha." You know? [laughs] "Sheneisha speaking. How may I help you?" It's difficult, it's difficult, but I definitely believe you should always be who you are. And I love what you said. You know, transcend or conform to switch up the swag of who you are in this setting, to do it a different way and still be real authentic and what we call "keeping it 100," right? Keeping it a hunned. [laughs]Kennetth: Absolutely. And I will say, you know, there's a time and place for everything, right? So if I'm presenting different things of that nature, I will probably, you know, pull out some thesaurus words or--[laughs] the better jargon, if you will. Like I said, I'm myself to the core, and I feel like that genuine spirit is what has been the greatest precursor and potentiator of everything that has happened since leaving the highs of Florida A&M University.Sheneisha: That's real, that's real. So you're in Chicago now. You're working for Big Pharma, right? What has been your experience as a first-generation immigrant in corporate America?Kennetth: What has been my experience?Sheneisha: Yes. What has been your experience thus far? First-generation.Kennetth: I would say it's been amazing, you know? It hasn't all been sunshine and rainbows, [?] and cream, but like I said, when you have that thought process of that fight, that noble fight, and also that bite, that due diligence bite--that's my South Florida coming out--you can maximize on the opportunity and have not just the faith but the optimistic spirit [mustard seed?], you know? So I'm not hard to please, you know? Like I said, I came from humble beginnings. I'm not used to making the money I'm making today. I'm not used to [having] a lot of access to certain things and just the ability to have the opportunities that I have today. I'm not used to it, you know? So I thank God for it through it all, and my experience has been remarkable, you know? I feel like it's a breath of fresh air because--they say it's lonely at the top, right, and I'm nowhere near the top mind you, but as I continue to try to climb this ladder of life, you know, I just thank God for all of the people that's in my life, you know? Surrounding me with great friends, a family that supports me more than anybody that I can ever imagine. You know, my family goes above and beyond in making sure that I feel whole, making sure that I feel loved, making sure that I don't let the stressors of back home preclude me and my progress in life. So I would say that the experience has been amazing, you know? Like I said, there's been ups and downs, but during those downtimes it's real minor compared to what it could be, you know? It's very humbling when you really reflect on situations, and you're looking at--you know, you could be complaining about something that seems so big to you in the moment, but when you really pause and consider and think about where you came from, going back to my heritage, to think about if I didn't make the decision to go off to college, if I didn't make the decision to pursue that pharmacy degree, if I didn't make the decision to leave the nest of Florida and come to Chicago for a new challenge, my complaints would be waaaay worse and probably more [?]. So even in my haste to continue to grow into the person that God called me to be, you know, life is good through it all, you know? I praise Him, I worship Him, and I give Him honor, because clearly I feel like I'm walking down the righteous path that was predestined for me. So that's why things seem to be working easier and easier as time goes along, but I continue to fight through it all, that way if, you know, somebody could throw a curveball, you know, the enemy tries to come after me, I will persevere through whatever case is thrown [because] it's just in me to do so.Sheneisha: Speaking of, [for] you to do so, having that fight, being in corporate America now as a first-generation American, what challenges do you face? I mean, we all have that upside, but then there's times too where we have the not-so-up, right? So what challenges do you face, and then how do you overcome or navigate those challenges, being a first-generation American in corporate?Kennetth: Got you. So one of my biggest challenges at times in corporate America is corresponding through the phone. I have a very notably deep, black voice, [laughs] and for folks who aren't used to receiving that type of baritone voice on the other side of the line for certain requests and, you know, for certain actual--what's the word, given directives as well, it becomes a challenge. You know, I've been--what's the word? I've been a telemarketer at times. You know, folks be like, "Wrong number," hang up. I'm like, "Uh, it's Ken from the other building." "Oh, oh, oh! Sorry about that. I thought--hey, what's going on?" [laughs] You know? Yeah, so it's--and that's kind of living experience in itself because, you know, no matter how far you go, no matter what you look like on paper, if you're a black male or female in America, that's who you are, you know? And then, once again, that's the bucket of everything that falls under black, myself being Haitian-American. You know, folks don't even know about your culture, so that's a challenging conversation at times. But like I said, I force that challenging conversation so folks can be receptive to it. So when May 18th comes, Haitian Flag Day, Haitian Independence Day, you know, folks know why I'm wearing red, white, and blue, and it's not because of the American flag. It's because of the Haitian flag. But that's a minor challenge if anything, but, you know, at the beginning it was kind of a slap in the face because it's like, "Okay, when is this gonna stop? When are folks gonna realize that you don't have to have that voice?" That notably Caucasian voice. You don't have to put on your Caucasian voice. There's a movie that I reference a lot called "Sorry to Bother You," where the guy in the movie, he had to put on his what they call "the white voice" in order to appease customers, and ironically enough he was a telemarketer. [laughs] But, you know, I just feel like it's 2019, you know? There's no need to do that anymore. A lot of ignorance, ignorance being a state of unawareness, as it pertains to black culture and even Haitian-American culture is being debunked because of, you know, small efforts of mine, when you just talk about yourself, talk about your background. And I don't force my background on folks, and I don't force my history on folks. I use that as a conversational starter, and then I ask them about theirs, 'cause, you know, there's a lot of time we jump to judgment that, you know, the white person in front of me is just white. They could be from France, you know? And that gives us a commonality right there. They could be from Russia, you know? They could have some Asian descent, but, you know, watered down throughout the years and through the generations, and you'll never know until you have that conversation with them. So the same energy I give in trying to edify folks and educate folks, I try to learn more as well about different individuals. I don't put them in that same bucket that it seems like society likes to put, you know, all people of black descent.Sheneisha: That's real, that's real. Education and enlightening is very much needed. I'm gonna navigate to asking this last question to you, and hopefully you can shed some light on this and encourage and empower the other first-generation Americans, but what advice do you have to give them? For the first-generation Americans listening, young, the first in their families to do it--as you said with "the famous"--what was it? Kennetth: "The famous first."Sheneisha: "The famous first." What advice do you give to the famous firsts or first-generation Americans or immigrants who are listening right now?Kennetth: The advice I would give--the first advice I would give is connect, right? We're in 2019. There is no reason why you should feel like the first and the only in any way, shape or form. You know, LinkedIn, social media. I mean, I can't really plug Instagram and Facebook as much, as I would say LinkedIn is the best--from a professional perspective anyway. I would say connect yourself, you know? If you're working in pharma and you feel or you are the only black person within your organization, your company or whatever the case may be, or one of few, connect with others like you within your company and outside of your company, in different companies, because it's important, you know? It takes a village, right? I feel like as we grow through life sometimes we lose that "village" mindset and think "Oh, we made it," or "Oh, we can take it from here," but it's a neverending thing, you know? There's always gonna be somebody that is in need of help, and there's always gonna be somebody that's willing to help. So whichever, you know, arm you fall under, be that person. So if you need help, search for it. If you're willing to help, help those who need it from you. That would be my biggest advice. Words of encouragement? Just [keep up the good grind?], you know? [Keep fighting?] the noble fight, because being the first, it's not--there shouldn't be a moment of contentment, because the moment you feel content is the moment you start growing, and I'm a firm believer that like God put the seeds on this earth, he put us on this earth to grow, so we have to continue to fight, continue to grow and reach new heights, and if that moment ever comes where we stop growing up, that's where we start growing out and supplying the world with new seeds, and that's where that mentor spirit comes. So for every question that you edify, help, and just guide along the way, they'll pay it forward, and that'll be a cascade in the right direction. So those are my words of encouragement and advice.Sheneisha: Thank you so much, Ken. Thank you so much. Listen though, guys, this was Dr. Ken Joe and myself, Sheneisha White, giving you the advice that we have here for first-generation Americans in corporate. I hope that you found this to be enlightening and that you can take this and add to yourself, but Ken, thank you so much for your time. I know you're super-duper busy, and you're so Florida. [laughs] So thank you so much for just speaking to us today and just giving us some enlightenment on being a first-generation American in corporate. Thank you.Kennetth: No pressure, and thank you guys for the opportunity. Hopefully it encourages somebody else or opens somebody else's eyes and that positive energy just comes through.Sheneisha: And Ken, can we go ahead here--we're gonna put your LinkedIn information down below, but how can people reach out to you if they would like to know more about Manhood on the Go, being a first-generation American in corporate--shout-out some of your information here and your businesses so people can reach out to you.Kennetth: Well, you know, I grew up in a generation that used to listen to Mike Jones, and he did something bold. He just threw his number out there, because, you know, some people may call and hang up, and some people may call and actually use it. So [feel free?]. The best way to reach me is area code 561-503-[?]500. I may not pick up the first or second time. I may not pick up at all. [laughs] But I definitely want to be [?]. Like I said, I'm willing to help within the confines of my schedule. I do get busy, so if you don't hear back from me right away just know I'll return your call, I'll return your text, or just try again, you know? Don't stop until you get it.Sheneisha: How about your LinkedIn and Insta?Kennetth: My LinkedIn you can search Kennetth Joseph PharmD, and that's Kennetth with two Ts. So funny story behind that, there is two Ts in my first name. It's not a typo. And what was the other?Sheneisha: And your Instagram.Kennetth: Not really on it, but it's still out there. So K3nJo3y with 3s for the Es. So K3nJo3y. That's K3nJo3y with a 3 for the Es. Sheneisha: All right, K3nJo3y with the 3 for Es. Thank you very much. We're signing out.Kennetth: All right, no problem. Thank you.

Immigration. It's a hot topic these days. No matter what your political opinion is on the matter, here's our question: have you actually talked to someone who immigrated to America? Do you know their story? Today we talk to creative director extraordinaire Nicole Solissison. Her family fled the Philippines 20 years ago and are still having a hard time finding a pathway to citizenship. Every immigration story is different. With Nicole we talk about how an ICE agent helped her family, what it's like being a DACA recipient and how the overall system is just a cluster fuck of insanity. The only way the country will be able to find solutions to our immigration problem is to talk to people who know what's wrong with the system. We hope this episode starts a dialogue. To follow Nicole, follow her on Instagram @NicoleSolissison.

What is keeping us from making America better? Is believing it is the "greatest" affecting our ability to see it and improve it? What judgments are we making about our neighbors that stop us from helping them and improving America? Do we recognize that we share the same problems as many other nations? Do we see our humanity? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wileyfoxes/message

We are in a fight for the Soul of America. Will we become even more divided as a red America and a blue America? Do we have a chance of bringing 'the people' together and what will it take? The news is discouraging. When was the last time you left a news program feeling good about society or yourself? Exactly. It never happens. I feel your pain friends. I experience the same pain. This Special 10 Part Series is a project I've been wanting to do for some time now. Over the next 10 weeks, we will tear apart some of the biggest challenges of our generation. Topics like Immigration, Socialism, The Orwellian State, Elections, Gun Control, Climate Change, Terrorism, A Politically Correct Media, Deep State and the Trump Factor. This first release, we will dive into questions like these: Do the results of the 2016 and 2018 midterm elections show that socialism is out of the closet? Have the fundamentals (wealth, housing, jobs) of the country changed that makes socialism a viable alternative? Why Can’t Socialism Work in America? Is the rise of Socialism an excuse for conservative, progressive and liberal policies that have failed for over 50 years? The Constitution was created to protect the people from the growth of a ruling class of elitists, and providing life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all - should we have a Constitutional Convention to rewrite the Constitution? Our panel for episode one of this special series is Dennis Santiago, Barbara McGee and Jim McCay. Thank you for listening and being part of the journey friends. I appreciate you!

What stage are you on your entrepreneurial journey? Have you taken the leap or are you still in corporate America? Do you have a business partner on a different stage of the journey as you? What are some important practices you can follow to ensure you’re heading your business in the right direction? Today’s guests' combination is a first for the show-- two sisters and business partners on different stages of their entrepreneurial journey. Elise and Lori Lefcourt created Unicreamer, a protein creamer to help busy women control hunger throughout the day as well as serve as an alternative to animal protein. Turn up the volume and listen to how their two unique stories merge into one natural, vegan business. In this episode you will: Hear sacrifices needed for entrepreneurship Uncover three foundational things to do when starting your business Know why you need to network See what they learned about trust during the beginning of their business Understand why working with family can be tricky and the best thing Learn what they wish they could outsource INSIGHTS: “I am one of those people that I was born to be an entrepreneur. I’ve had all these crazy ideas, I think have 50 ideas that go through my brain a day.” Lori “I think one of the hardest things that people go through when starting a business is where do you even start?” Lori “If you feel like you don’t know anything about how to run a business, obviously research is huge and possibly finding a free internship of a company that you can actually work for so you can see the inner workings of how a startup works...if you don’t have the time to go all day and sit behind somebody and watch, I’d say sacrifice that night time instead of watching movies and TV shows do some research and listen to podcast of people who already did it.” Lori “It’s crazy how many people will actually help you when they see that you’re executing and actually doing something.” Lori “When I jumped into this, I jumped in with not a whole lot of savings but with all the knowledge and connections I had with networking to make this a successful business and actually start.” Lori “I think we believe in the product so much that we won’t let ourselves fail at this.” Elise “When we first started it was kind of a mess, you just have to kind of fail forward and be all over the place-- it’s like a beautiful mess I guess and then it kind of all comes together” Lori “Something I think has really worked for us is being authentic and putting out stuff that we actually like and love, especially on social media and Instagram there are so many people these days that are all kind of doing the same exact thing to get these followers, for us it was really about staying true to ourselves and our brand.” Elise “Our original target market was millennials, and it still us, but we’re also learning there is an older crowd of women that are also very interested in our product; that we hadn’t considered before. We will definitely look into tailoring our business to them as well.” Elise “I always practice gratitude, almost every single day whether it’s in my mind or before I go to bed.” Lori “I make sure to make time also for the people that are important in my life, my friends, my family, make sure I give enough time for my dog.” Elise RESOURCES: Unicreamer Website Unicreamer Instagram Unicreamer Facebook “You are a bad ass at Making Money” by Jen Sincero

On an episode of After Hours AM/The Criminal Code — True Crime  with hosts Joel Sturgis, Eric Olsen, and Dr. Clarissa Cole — so hot it melted my keyboard, we tackle the crucial topic of immigration law and policy in America with immigration legal advocate Susan Celsor. We speak with SusanTop of hour 2; Hour 1, Joel and Eric review the latest and strangest True Crime headlines.   Is there any topic more contentious in America in 2018 than immigration? Who should be let in? Who should be kept out? How many immigrants are too many? The U.S. is literally the melting pot of the world – is that a good thing or a bad ting? Even if you agree that certain countries are “shitholes,” aren’t the real problems the governments of those countries and the crushing weight of history rather than the people who yearn for a better life in America? Do we need a wall? What would it accomplish? Is anyone other than the American taxpayers — really — going to pay for it? What is DACA and who are the Dreamers? How do we block terrorists, criminals, and miscreants from penetrating our borders while welcoming who aspire to the American Dream?

What does it mean to be a “good American”? How are immigrants changing America? Do foreign nationals living in the United States pose a threat to our security or “way of life”? What should be the limits of free speech? These burning questions occupied Montanans, especially during 1917 and 1918 as thousands of Montana boys left the state to join the “the war to end all wars.” Exactly 100 years ago to the day after the United States entered World War I, Montana Historical Society staff members Senior Archivist Rich Aarstad and Historical Specialist Martha Kohl lead the audience in an opportunity to reexamine these questions, informed by the history of Montana and the Great War.

Click above to listen in iTunes... I found, printed, and compared the format of some of the internet's "top quizzes". Here's what I found… I always want to yell whenever I start one of these. Whoo Hoo, Yeah, this is Steve Larsen, welcome to SalesFunnel Radio. Welcome to SalesFunnel Radio, where you'll learn marketing strategies to grow your online business, using today's best internet sales funnels. Now here's your host, Steve Larsen. All right you guys, hey thanks for dealing with my cheesiness. It's funny though, every time I go to start to hit the record button, I mix my own podcast. I mix it, produce it, I now have an assistant, which is totally awesome. I'll tell you about her later. Finally, I think it'll be more consistent with these due to her. She's amazing. I think that will be really good. Anyway it's funny, every time I go hit the record button, I always get this cheesy grin on my face. Anyway, I get excited. I've met a lot of you guys now who listen to this, and this podcast, just so you know downloads wise is ramping up like crazy. It's been fun to interact with a lot of you guys... A lot of you guys have sent me personal messages. A lot of you told me, "Hey this has been helping." That keeps me going, I've got to tell you, because it is a ton of work to produce a single episode. It's nuts. First I take the podcast, and then I go, I actually mix the thing. I had to make intro and outro, then I had to go get it transcribed, then I turn it into a blog post, then I actually put it in iTunes, and then I syndicate it out to twelve different platforms. The whole thing takes including everything, probably an hour and a half to two hours at least, and that's flying. That's like on really, really, good day. Most of the time, honestly it probably could easily be three hours when you actually factor in everything. Anyhoo, all right I just want to say thanks for that. I was thinking about you guys like crazy which was a little bit weird because I was thinking about you guys over Halloween. I was walking around the neighborhoods. I was with my little girl, she's going to be three here in December. Then I also have a one year old. They're both awesome. They're dressed up in their little costumes. Princess Sophias and whatever, it's fun being a dad. Totally awesome. It's funny though because this is the first year we're going to walk around with our kids and they're starting to get it, you know what I mean? They're, "Hey, this is Halloween. You're going to say, "Trick or Treat. You say thank you at the end. They give you candy. This is the only time you can take candy from a strangers." It's kind of weird when you think about it... We're walking along and we go to this house and this woman sees me holding my one year old. We have two little pumpkin buckets and so they give candy to my little two year old, almost three, and then go to give candy to my one year, but my wife was holding it. She looks up and I got sick to my stomach, I was like, "Are you kidding me? Are you joking?" She looked up and she did a double take. She's bending over and grabbing stuff down, the bucket was on the floor there and she looks up and it's almost like she was sneering. She looked up and her eyes were squinting just a little bit and her eyebrows were together just a little bit and she's like, "Oh did you want one for the kid also, the one year old, I mean you guys?"  Okay, yeah. Clearly we're going to eat some of our kid's candy. She's one, she's going to have maybe a single piece of that stuff. Okay yeah, you caught us. She was calling out my wife because she knew obviously we're going to have of our kid's candy. I call it the tax. The great dad tax. Anytime they have some piece of food, I'm like, "Okay I've got to tax that. This is the taxman." This was what the hey is this? Anyways, I was a little bit pissed off about it to be honest, till they called us out. We keep walking along, keep walking along and I'm totally getting clued pictures of my kids underneath. I'm a show and tell dad. You just have to get over it. Yes, I like my kids, they're awesome. I know some dads aren't that way or whatever. I'm a show and tell dad. I'm going to show you a picture. My kids in Halloween costumes are going to be in the blog post of this episode, I'm just letting you know. We're walking around and the other crazy thing that happened while we're walking, this kid's running all over the place. It's fun, cool atmosphere. Some of the kids are dressed up all scary and it was confusing my little two year old because she had never seen anything like that before. It's a little scary. She actually ended up running away from our house once because she got scared from that... Anyway, we're walking around and we walk up to a door and I swear it looked like restaurant. She had listed on the door, hand written on a piece of paper and it was basically not duck taped but very neatly taped, you could tell someone spent a crap ton of time figuring out how to tape this thing to the door. It had all of the allergy warning information that you'd expect in a restaurant. "This candy may contain or may have been produced in a facility where peanuts were there and soy, and lactose. Please advise if you need candy that does not have ... " It was so funny. It was so funny. There're allergy warnings, there were glutton free options... There's like, "What the heck is this? Oh my gosh this woman has gone to town." She opens this door up very proper. She's standing up and is elongating her neck a little bit, and very proper and bends over, "Why hello." I'm doing it right now. I'm recording something audible. I'm doing it... She bends over and is like, "Hello. Oh your costumes are just adorable." She's doing that kind of stuff. I was like, "Oh my gosh, I would kill myself if this woman was someone I had to hang around with at all at an actual restaurant." Which was funny because it reminded me of a restaurant. She was the hostess and she had all of these pieces out there and it looked like you were walking into a restaurant. I was like, "How interesting. How interesting is that? That patterns are pushed so far into what she's doing." It led me along to start thinking more about this. How crazy is it, you have to follow me on this okay? How patterns really do follow and dictate a lot of things that we do in our own personal lives. We walked away and went home and put our kids down. They ended up not going to sleep. It's the first time we've ever really given them sugar like that and they stayed up literally the entire night. It was nuts. It stuck with me. I kept thinking about it over and over again. This woman who has, she's clearly obsessed about it, which is totally awesome... I was moving along and I actually thought, "How cool it would be to keep funnelhacking more of the processes that we're being taken through that we don't know that we're being taken through. Much like that woman did. She was taking us through a process. She probably didn't even know she was modeling after what restaurants do with allergy warnings and stuff like that and supplement products and things like that. I don't know, maybe she's on autopilot or maybe she's got some condition in the the home there or even with one of her kids or something. I don't know. Whatever it was, it was crazy. It was to an extreme... What I wanted to share with you guys was one of my latest hacks and some of the patterns that I saw there. This is pretty intense just so guys know. This is juicy, juicy stuff. I would charge somebody to deliver this. I'm going to talk about quizzes. Quizzes are fantastic... One of the reason I like quizzes so much is that they come get someone involved in the process prior you asking them to opt in for something. What's crazy is ninety percent of the time, I never collect the data, neither does Russell, we never do. We hardly ever, I don't know that I've ever actually created a quiz online where someone goes through and they're clicking, "Are you a man or woman? Do you have a peanut allergy? Are you exited for Halloween?" We don't really collect that data, I don't in my own funnels. The reason is that all we're trying to do is we're trying to put somebody into a state to receive something. We're trying to put them into a state to accept what it is that we're about to offer them next. It totally work, holy crap. Go to SecretEmblemHacks dot com. I don't care if you opt in, just look at the process I take people through. I have a quiz in the front... It's cool because people go through it, they opt in, I give them something cool. It's a five day free course and then I push them over to a free plus shipping offer. Doing that pre frames people. I was thinking like, "For quizzes what are the standard quizzes online and what are the formats that they're following in order to be most effective?" I totally found it. I was blown away. I ended up showing it to Russell. We're using it, it's really cool... I want to take you through it. There's a common quiz format that people who are most successful with quizzes online are following. It was crazy because he's like, "Here are some quizzes, go look at these." I was like, "Cool and I'll go look at XY and Z." I started going through all these different quizzes. Tons and tons of them... I wrote them out and I put them on a sheet. I literally question by question put them side by side. I was like, "Holy crap. These almost look like they've been written by the same person." They're not by the same company. The owners do not own both of these different companies. I did it to several different companies and a lot of different quizzes. I put them side by side and I was like, "Whoa, these questions, the number one question, what they're asking and what they're asking a person for is really similar." I moved forward and I went to the next one and was like, "Whoa, this is also really really similar." I kept going on and there was almost the same number of questions per quiz. Almost the same number. I was like, "This is interesting." Sure enough, I'm sure that they were following something that maybe each of them had seen as well. I went through enough quizzes to find and figure out that these guys were doing something on purpose. This was purposeful. They were unrelated companies and they were unrelated company owners. They were totally unrelated industries... One was sports and the other was fat loss. Another one was golf. It was across so many different mediums. I was like, "Man, this is so funny. This is what I did also when I did the SecretEmblemsHacks dot com quiz. It's been awesome. Here's the format and I want to share with you. I was like, "Dude, what can I do?" I always want to give you guys stuff because I think it's just fun. I want to help. If I can curb the amount of time that it takes for you guys to do something and be successful, I'm all about that. It's really fun for me to hear stories of your guy's success which I've been hearing a lot lately and it's been great. I want to give it to you. In the show notes, go to the blog of this podcast episode and I am going to include the word file, the document with this stuff written out, that's spelled out. It's my funnelhacks quizzes basically that I went through and the format that I went through. I took a picture of the actual notes and tossed them on there and the way that they pull through. Very, very fascinating. I'm going to explain this to you as best I can while it being audio. Here it is... The first question that these guys all ask, and it was across the board unanimous was, they asked something that was a self identifying question. It was very low barrier to entry. No personal information being asked. Sometimes when we come out and ask, "Hey what's your email address" right out the gate, sometimes that pushes people away. " Boy that feels a little bit like personal information still... Just slightly stepping into my bubble." That makes people uncomfortable and you don't want that. They don't do that. The first question of these is self identifying. For example it says, one of them is "Hey are male or are you female?" Or "Hey, what's your age range?" Rather than asking straight for the age, they just ask for the range. "I'm lower than twenty one, I'm greater than twenty one, I'm less than sixty five, I'm greater than sixty five." Very simple. You're not giving away any personal information with that. Very low barrier to entry. The first one, some self identifying question. They are telling you, they're telling the quiz something about themselves. This is like the hook system, this is pulling them in, getting them engaged. You can think of a lot of different other ones that are out there as well like, "Are you an iPhone user? Do you live in America? Do you live in Australia? Do you live in Canada?" Those are maybe a little bit more intense but just know that as a general category they're self identifying, very broad low barrier questions... Sometimes it was the first two questions. Question number one, male or female or whatever? Question number two, what's your age range? Do you like to breathe? It can be something really very low barrier entry. Here's the second question, the second set of questions. Here it was. As a self identifying question but based on the subject of the quiz. For example, I could ask, "Number one, are you male or female? Number two, what's your age? Number three, a question based on the subject that's self identifying, do you have a funnel? Do you know what a funnel is? Does your business have a funnel?" That's based on the topic of funnels. Let's say the topic is funnels. It's also very low barrier to entry... Again, I'm not asking anything specific or personal yet. All I'm doing is I'm getting them in the habit of clicking. That's it. That's the whole, that's one of the major purposes of this... I'm going to get you in the habit of clicking and I'm going to have you start giving me things about you that are very little barrier to entry. Very little barrier. Tell me a little bit about you and I'm going to get you engaged. Number three, We want you to self identify and self declare the level of skill that you think you are based on the subject. For example, so I'm going to start from the top again. "Number one, male or female? Number two, age? Number three, do you have funnel? Number four, have you made money with that funnel?" Now you're self identifying a level of skill pertaining to the subject. I'm going to say, "How much money have you made? Or are you new at this?" Russell calls them funnelcakes. "Are you a funnelcake? Are you brand new at this? Would you say you're an expert? What's your skill level?" Number five, this is where we say we want to educate plus clarity. This is probably too nitty gritty for this podcast and I apologize, just follow along with me here and I'll keep going. This will all be available for you in the show notes on the blog. It's blog dot SalesFunnelBroker dot com.  Number five, like I said we want to educate and clarify. You can say, "The people who said that they made little to no money, they typically suffer from one to three hell island symptoms," that's what I call them. Symptoms of hell island where you don't want to be. Like, "Well I have no money." That could be a good funnel one. Or "Hey I can't get traffic or hey I don't even have an offer to promote." They typically suffer from one of three, I don't know how you can say it. One of three moneyless symptoms or something like that. Then it goes on, "Tell me which issue do you suffer from the most?" Now you're getting them to say, okay this is amazing. I'm so sorry if this doesn't make sense. Let me just go ahead and say it all through. "Those with funnels typically suffer from one to three money issues, tell me which", I don't know you could say, "Which funnel issue do you typically suffer from the most?" Number one, and they're always in the pattern of high, medium and low. Let's take a sports example. Number one, "I hit the ball too high" or they could say, number two, "I hit the ball in the middle" or number three, "I hit the ball too low." I noticed those are all just extremes of different types of responses. I'm not trying to bore you guys and I feel like I am, I'm so sorry. I'm just going to move on here real quick... Basically what you're doing here is you're making them admit to you what they're problems are. You've led them through this entire path where you're first saying, "Hey, number one, are you male or female. Number two, what's your age? Number three, do you have a funnel? Number four, what's you level of skill with that funnel? Is it actually being profitable? Number five, you know that though, people that have actually said what you have so far, they typically suffer from one of three things. Tell me what is it? Do you have enough traffic? Do you have too much traffic that isn't converting? Number three can you not get your actual funnel to break even?" Those are three different variations of the same and they choose it. They say, "You know what? I'm having a hard time getting traffic to my funnel that's converting." They say that to you. This is so key. Guys please again go pull this up so you can follow along with me and see what I'm talking about... Number six, this is the surprise slash random curious based question. What we do is we just toss in one question at the end that has almost nothing to do with anything else. What it does is it makes the person go, "Wait a second. That matters? I didn't know that that matters." Here's an example. We could say and I'll run through it again. Okay here goes. "Number one, male or female? Number two, age? Number three, get a funnel? Number four, are you making money with the funnel? Number five, your biggest challenge with it?" "I struggle most with getting traffic." " Number six, the surprised random curiosity based question. Are you using a Mac or a PC?" "Wait a second. That matters?" That's why, it's the shake and jolt people. You have something random at the end... You ask something that's going to be there where they're going to go, "I didn't know that matters." "Were you wearing blue jeans or shorts?" It's like, "What? I didn't know that mattered." You've got to put it in a way that it's believable... This is what you say at the end. This is what they all have said, "Based on your answers, your number one reason for not succeeding, your self declared pain is likely because you don't have a retail funnel. A coaching funnel, whatever it is which typically costs funnel builders an average of five thousand dollars every six months, not to mention a lot of enjoyment in the game, you know what I mean?" Anyway it costs a lot ... That's pretty much what it says. Basically at the end you'll say something like, "Based on your results, you need this training and you have to have this to progress and move on," in the subject that you're talking about. I know that was deep and hard core and I apologize about that but please go to the blog... I'm just going to give this to you guys for free, okay? It's going to include three of the phone hacks or quiz hacks that I did along with the common quiz format that I just went through. Think and just keep your eyes open guys for all the patterns that are around you. They're everywhere. It's like brain candy to me, I absolutely love it. I've been going on probably for too long for this. I wanted you guys to know that quizzes are amazing. If you don't have a quiz I dare you to go create a quiz. I'm thinking about just making a quiz format that follows this and I'll just give you guys that page. That would be kind of cool actually. All right, let me think about that. Maybe in the free funnel section of SalesFunnelBroker dot com, maybe I'll toss that in there and also in the blog post itself. I want you guys to have this because this is important. This will preframe people's brains before they go see your offers. This will get people engaged in the process and it starts small and you ramp up. Small little commitments from them. Are you male or are you female? By the end they're saying, "Tell me your problems" and it gets them really engaged. At the end you say, "Don't worry, I've got the solution right here. Enter your email and I'll send it to your email." I do that to you guys. The same concept, not always in a quiz but that's what the SalesFunnelBroker dot com site is, right? I want you guys to use this in your businesses and use this in the different funnels that you've built. Create a quiz... Use this common quiz format. Be cognizant of the different patterns that are around you. Anyways guys I will talk to you later. I do have a very funny story for you guys next time, so I'm actually really excited. I'm going to go ahead and probably pump that one out also, batch a few of these pieces together. Hey I want you guys to know that I think you're awesome and I thank you guys a bunch. I hope that what I'm putting out to you guys is very very valuable and that you guys are going out and applying this. Please tell me when it's working for you... That is so fun for me. When I know, Hey I put this podcast out and it's got some really good stuff and I would love to know how this is working in your businesses and how it's working in your life. I think you guys are all awesome like I said, get out and crush it. I will talk to you guys all later. All right bye. Thanks for listening to SalesFunnel radio.

http://soaringeagleradio.com America has been referred to as the â??Great Experiment,â?? as â??America the Beautiful,â?? as â??America, land of the free,â?? and as â??America, a shining example of liberty.â?? How does all of this line up with what we are witnessing today in America? Do these descriptions still apply if they ever really did? How are we to understand the present turmoil seemingly on every front in America? Friends have you ever considered that culture is created. The way we think, feel, and behave has been meticulously planned and through a variety of stimuli, events, and even tragedies, an envisioned culture has been brought to fruition. In this episode of Soaring Eagle Radio I discuss this idea of culture creation with John Adams. John is a host on the popular drive time podcast Afternoon Commute Hoax Busters and is a culture researcher and commentator.

"Thus we Christians distinguish ourselves from the heathen, that, while they worship gods which they have made, we are worshipping the God that made us and all the world. And it is very proper to begin our prayers, as well as our creed, with the acknowledgment of this, that God is the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible." (Matthew Henry) In times of great trouble and distress, there were those in the Bible who cried out to God - addressing Him as the Maker of heaven and earth. Oftentimes, they did this to encourage and strengthen their faith. God, the Holy Spirit, is saying to the present-day Church (especially in America) - "Do likewise."

This week we have seen protests,riots and more in the city of Freguson, Missouri following the death of  unharmed 18 year old teenager Michael Brown at the hands of a police officer.  We have seen a number of cases where black people, particularily black males have been gunned down under dubious incidents in the community without consequence in some cases.
