THE PEACE/LOVE SPEECH

MY NAME IS GWENDOLYN LAVELLE MITCHELL AND I WAS BORN IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ON JULY 6TH, 1942, AFTER WORLD WAR 2...MY MOTHER, SARAH, MITCHELL WAS BI-RACIAL, HER MOTHER, MY GRANDMOTHER WAS FRENCH AND MY GRANDFATHER WAS FROM MARTINIQUE.  MY GRANDFATHER WAS THE COLOR OF TEXAS CRUDE OIL, WHICH IS A BEAUTIFUL COLOR AND HAS A RICH SMELL.  MY MOTHER WAS BEAUTIFUL AND SMART AND MY SHE TAUGHT ME ALL THE BEST OF THE GOOD THINGS THAT I KNOW...AND MY FATHER, ROBERT CORNELIUS MITCHELL, THE SECOND, SOUTHERN BLACK AND AMERICAN INDIAN  TAUGHT ME HOW TO DANCE, AND BOTH OF THEM TAUGHT ME HOW TO LOVE...WHY AM I TELLING YOU ALL THIS?  BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW, AND ALWAYS REMEMBER, WHERE YOU COME FROM, AND WHO YOUR PARENTS ARE...AND TO REMEMBER THAT OUR GREATEST PARENT IS OUR SHARED CREATOR...

THE CREATOR WHO MADE ALL OF US, WHITE, BLACK, BROWN, YELLOW RED, ORANGE, AND IF I LEFT ANY OTHER HUE OUT IT IS NOT INTENTIONAL AND PLEASE FORGIVE ME...I ONCE HAD A PRETTY GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR, HOWEVER LATELY, IT APPEARS TO BE MISSING IN ACTION...WE ALL, NO MATTER WHERE IN THE WORLD WE CURRENTLY RESIDE, OR WHERE WE SEARCH, THERE SEEMS TO BE HOPELESSNESS.  WHAT DO I MEAN BY THIS?...THE WORLD IS IN DANGER, REAL DANGER OF BEING DESTROYED...BY ENVIRONMENTAL INVADERS CAUSED BY MAN MADE UNATURAL POLLUTANTS THAT TURN OUR SKIES GREY AND MAKE OUR WATER, THE MOST NECESSARY BEVERAGE ON EARTH, UNDRINKABLE.

LIKE HUMPTY DUMPTY IT MAY NOT BE ALE TO BE PUT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN, MAY NOT, BEARS REPEATING, MAY NOT...YET THERE IS A SOLUTION...AND IT IS THE PURPROSE OF OUR BEING HERE...AND ANUYONE, NO MATTER HOW POOR, OR, HOW RICH, ANYONE AND EVERYONE HAS THE ABILITY TO SHARE THIS GIFT...AND IT IS A GIFT BESTOWED UPON ALL OF US...BUT IN ORDER FOR THIS GIFT TO HAVE THE INTENDED POWER, THE GIVER, AND THE RECEIVER OF THIS GIFT, MUST COME WITH OPENENESS OF HEART, CLARITY OF MIND, AND THE CAPACITY FOR FORGIVENESS...

BEAR WITH ME PLEASE...LET ME SHARE WITH YOU SOME RECENT DFISCOVERIES...I WANDERED IN TO A CHURCH, A BAPTIST CHURCH IN SANTA MONICA, A FEW DAYS AGO AND I GOT DOWN ON  MY KNEES AND PRAYED OVER A MATTER WHICH SEEMINGLY HAD LITTLE SIGNIFICANCE IN THE TOTAL WORLD SCHEME OF THINGS...WHEN I FINISHED MY PRAYER, I WANDERED AROUND , AND CAME TO A CLOSED DOOR.  I COULD SENSE THAT THERE WAS SOMEONE BEHIND THAT DOOR...SO I CALLED OUT, "HELLO?" SEVERAL TIMES, NO ANSWER, UNTIL I DECIDED THAT I WOULD GO, SO I SAID, "WELL GOOD-BYE"...AND SUDDENLY THIS WOMAN OPENED THE DOOR, SHE RESEMBLED OPRAH WINFEY WITH NO MAKE UP AND WAS DRESSED DOWN AND SHE ASKED WHAT I WANTED...I SAID I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE, AND SHE SAID, WELL USUALLY DURING THIS TIME ON WEEK-DAYS THERE IS NO ONE HERE, BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO CALL BACK...

I ASKED IF I COULD SPEAK TO THE PASTOR...AND SHE SAID, WE DON'T HAVE A PASTOR RIGHT NOW.  AT THAT MOMENT SOMETHING TOUCHED ME, BECAUSE THIS WAS SOMETHING I HAD HEARD NOT TOO LONG AGO FROM ANOTHER CHURCH, AND BEFORE THAT, ANOTHER...THERE APPEARS TO BE A VOID IN CHURCH GOING...AND I AM A NON PARTICIPANT AS WELL...


HATE DUE TO SKIN COLOR; DOMINATION EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE SAKE OF RULE AND GREED; AND FEAR OF BEING OUTNUMBERED BY THE RIGHTFUL INHERITORS OF THE LAND WHERE THEY TOILED FROM DUSK TO DAWN WITHOUT PAY, GAVE BIRTH, AND DIED, WITH THE POPULAR BELIEF AMONG THE INTERLOPERS THAT THE NATIVES WERE NOT ONLY RESTLESS, BUT SUB-HUMAN.

NOW PERHAPS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO INTERJECT THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND SOUTH AFRICA...EMMET TILL COMES TO MIND, A YOUNG BLACK MAN VISITING THE SOUTH DURING SUMMER BREAK WHO RETURNED TO HIS MOTHER UNRECOGNIZABLE AFTER BEING BEATEN TO DEATH FOR ALLEDEDLY WHISTLING AT A WHITE WOMAN...

BILLIE HOLIDAY, THE GREAT JAZZ SINGER OF BLACK AND IRISH DESCENT WHO WAS NOT ALLOWED TO PERFORM WITH HER DARKER SKINNED MUSICIANS IN THE SOUTH AND THE WOMAN WHO HELD ME AS AN INFANT DUE TO MY MUSICIAN FATHER'S PROFESSIONAL FRIENDSHIP WITH MS HOLIDAY'S PIANIST...AND RIGHT HERE IN LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA, IN THE 30'S AND 40'S, WHERE BLACK PERFORMERS COULDN'T STAY IN SO CALLED SWANK HOTELS, BUT RATHER WERE PUT UP IN THE HOMES OF THEIR CARING BLACK AND WHITE PATRONS.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, WITH ME GETTING THE WORSE OF IT) ON THIS SUBJECT INVOLVED,  A PERSIAN JEW FRIEND, AND LOVER, WHEN WE WERE BEATEN BY THE RAMPART DIVISION OF THE LAPD IN THE EARLY 70'S AT PARK LABREA.  THE OWNERS OF THE FACILITY HAPPNED TO BE AN INSURANCE COMPANY(METROPOLITAN, AND OR, NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE) THAT ALSO OWNED MAY AND COMPANY, WHERE LACMA NOW STANDS TODAY.  THE BEATING WAS AFTER APPEARING AS "ELLIE" "SHAFT'S MAIN SQUEEZE" PRODUCED AND DISTRIBUTED BY MGM (METRO GOLDWYN MAYER) STUDIOS ...

WHY AM I SAYING THIS RIGHT NOW?  BECAUSE THE WORLD IS ON A DESTRUCTIVE COARSE AND IN TIMES PAST, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ITS ALLIES HAVE BEEN A BEACON OF LIGHT AND HOPE FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD...

UNFORTUNATELY, I'M SAD TO SAY, THAT IS PRESENTLY NOT THE CASE, WHY?  BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN, BECAUSE OF HATE, DOMINATION AND GREED, WHICH THE SECULAR MOVEMENT PROMULGATES.

CHURCHES ARE VOID OF TRUE LEADERS, AND CONGREATION BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE LOST HOPE, OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE OVERCROWDED TO THE EXTENT THAT AN EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT MUST BE FORCED TO GO AT A SLOWER PACE TO KEEP IN SYC WITH THE MAJORITY OF OHER STUDENTS IN THEIR CLASS, THE MAJORITY OF POLITICIANS(POLITICAL, AND RELIGIOUS) SOME CALLING THEMSELVES PROGRESSIVES HAVE FORGOTEN THAT THEIR JOB IS TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE UNITED STATES CITIZEN, RATHER, THEY HAVE OPTED FOR DANGEROUS DEALS WITH OUR SO CALLED ENEMIES, THE VERY PEOPLE THAT OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS MUST LEAVE THEIR HOMELAND TO FIGHT AN ENEMY OVERSEAS WHEN THE VERY INSTIGATORS OF THESE WARS-FOR-PROFIT, ARE RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY, RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN BACK YARDS, RIGHT HERE IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, WASHINGTON, OUR NATION'S CAPITOL.

THESE ENEMIES ARE THE SO CALLED "ELECTED" OFFICIALS...CAN BE AT HE LOCAL, OR FEDERAL LEVEL, WHO SEE ONLY DOLLAR SIGNS WHILE NEGOTIATING WITH OUR ENEMIES...THEY ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN FOR THE GREED AND EGO.  IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE.  I AM NOT SPEAKING OF THE GOOD, HONEST, HARD WORKING MEN AND WOMEN FROM EITHER PARTY WHO SEEK AND DELIVER TRUTH.

AND AS ALWAYS, THE FAR FROM PERFECT, BUT ALWAYS WILLING, SOMETIMES TOO SLOWLY TO ACCEPT CHANGE, IS AMERICA.  WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT IS THAT IT IS COMPRISED OF THE BEST HUMAN BEINGS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, WHO LOVE THEIR COUNTRY, AMERICA!

ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE, YOU MAY RECALL WHEN I MENTIONED THAT WE, MAY BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE DESTRUCTIVE COURSE THAT WE ARE ON...AND I BELIEVE THE SOOTHING BALM, NOT BOMBS, FOR ALL JUSTICE, IS LOVE...THIS IS A TIME FOR MEN TO REALIZE AND ACCEPT THAT WOMEN ARE ON THE ASCENT...WE ARE RISING TO TAKE AND ENJOY OUR INANIEABLEE NATURAL PLACE, OUR GOD GIVEN POSITION AROUND HE WORLD...EXAMPLE, MALALA YOUSUFZAI, THE COURAGEOUS FOURTEEN YEAR OLD SCHOOL GIRL WHO TOOK A BULLET TO THE BRAIN FOR ADVOCATING EDUCATION FOR FEMALES IN HER COUNTRY OF PAKISTAN...THE TALIBAN SAW THIS CHILD AS A THREAT...WHAT COWARDS, THESE MONSTERS WHO ARE NOT MEN, WHY INSULT GOOD MEN?

WE ARE IN A STRUGGLE RIGHT NOW BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, THE GOOD NEWS?  I SEE THE TIDE CHANGING AND THE WINDS ARE BLOWING IN OUR FAVOR, GOOD ALWAYS TRIUMPHS OVER EVIL, AND THE TIME IS NOW FOR THIS TO HAPPEN...REMEMBER, THE ONLY TIME THERE IS, IS NOW...

NOW, TO STOP ALLOWING GOVERNMENT TO INTERFERE AS TO HOW YOU RAISE YOUR CHILDREN, TIME FOR US TO SHOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE OUR CHILDREN BY CHALLAGING GOVERNMENT AND I PROPOSE THAT A CITZENS' COUNCIL BE FORMED IN EACH AND EVERY STATE THROUGH OUT AMERICA, COMPRISED OF PEOPLE BEYOND REPROACH, WISE AND DILLIGENT INDIVIDUALS...WAS IT NOT MARTIN LUTHER KING JR WHO URGED IN HIS,"I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH" WHERE LITTLE BLACK BOYS AND BLACK GIRLS WILL BE ABLE TO JOIN HANDS WITH LITTLE WHITE BOYS AND WHITE GIRLS AND WALK TOGETHER AS SISTERS AND BROTHERS?

THROUGH OUT HISTORY, THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ALONG WITH THE CITIZENS FROM AFRICA, CHINA,ENGLAND, FRANCE,GERMANY,MEXICO,IRAN, IRAQ,IRELAND, ISRAEL, RUSSIA, TURKEY, ITALY, SWITZERLAND,SYRIA,  ETC (I APOLOGIZE FOR LEAVING OUT OTHER COUNTRIES, ONE OF MY WORSE SUBJECTS IN SCHOOL BESIDES MATH WAS GEOGRAPHY SO THE OMMISSION WAS NOT INTENTIONAL) ALL COME TOGETHER FOR GLOBAL COMMON GOOD, AND THAT COMMON GOOD IS THE SURVIVAL OF THE FAMILY OF MAN...GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND THE ENTIRE WORLD'S CITIZENS, AND LET OUR COMMON FATHER'S COMMAND, BECOME A REALITY BY LOVING OUR FAMILY, AND WE ARE ALL FAMILY.

(NOTE: THIS IS A SMALL ASPECT OF THE ENTIRE GLOBAL PLAN, AS STATED THERE ARE UNDERSTANDABLY MANY PARTS THAT MUST BE FIT TOGETHER,  YET THE PEACE/LOVE PLAN IS THE HINGE THAT WILL DETERMINE THE GLOBAL PLANS SUCCESS.)
