In 1842 deep in the heart of Georgia’s cotton empire, a widow chose the unthinkable; she desired to continue a bloodline that she thought was a chosen bloodline from God. Due to the fact, her late husband didn't leave her with a son to carry on the bloodline, she decided to develop a twisted plot so the Whitfield's name and legacy would continue.

As the story continues, does God make mistakes by choosing boys over girls and prematurely taking a loved one away, or do we tend to blame God for man's imperfections and selfish desires? She decided her very own five daughters would be the beneficiaries of son-bearing and that Josiah, the slave, his blood, would carry the secret of the Whitfields for generations to come. She believed the Whitfields were destined for greatness, their blood stronger and purer, chosen by God.

Are you getting a good night's sleep? Good sleep is paramount to the healthy functioning of our brains and bodies. As sleep plays an important role in the physical and mental health of individuals, studies are thought to uncover the causal relationship and mechanisms between sleep quality and aggressive behavior to raise public awareness of the importance of sleep.

Some researchers have suggested that high levels of aggressive behavior may also contribute to poor sleep, but findings do not support such a view. Sleep is extremely important to humans, and poor sleep can increase hostility in humans, which can damage their interpersonal relationships and have negative consequences for interpersonal interactions.

How this affects your intimate relationships: Sleep loss doesn’t just make you tired—it changes you emotionally. Deprived of sleep suggests that lesser quality sleep is associated with more intense negative feelings, especially anger.

Better sleep better life, and better relationships. Don’t let the sun go down on wrath.

Many are unaware that Project Coast was the successor to a limited post-war Chemical Biological Weapon CBW program that mainly produced the lethal agents CX powder and mustard gas, as well as non-lethal tear gas for riot control purposes. This is also why a great deal of money was spent developing new forms of tear gas and investigating whether street drugs could be used to ‘calm’ crowds. Today in many places, rioters have been teargassed.

Failure to hold anyone accountable for Project Coast will grow the culture of impunity in South Africa and is all too familiar across the globe. The program's activities were conducted under secrecy and with the support of an extensive international network, including behind-the-scenes governments.

"The Massacre," or "The Slaughter," was a period of anti-Mexican violence in Texas, including massacres and lynching, between 1910 and 1920 in the midst of tensions between the United States and Mexico during the Mexican Revolution.

La Matanza Many Mexican Americans know this story. Mexican refugees, looking to escape the violence of the revolution, began migrating to Texas, causing the Mexican population in the U.S. to triple during the early 1900s. Tensions between Mexico and the United States eventually led to violence between white Americans and Mexicans and the lynching of Mexicans.

Such brutal actions by the Texas Ranger Division made many Mexican landowners flee back to Mexico and, in some cases, leave because of their urgency of fear leaving behind land and livestock.

La Matanza in 2025 naw, it may not be massacres or slaughters as were in the history of Americans to Mexican Americans. But yes, deportation of immigrants and American-born people of all ethnic groups is occurring as we speak; many are terrorized and live in fear in 2025.

Few things compare to the pain of losing someone you love. While there’s no way to avoid intense feelings of grief, there are healthier ways to come to terms with your loss.

Bereavement is the grief and mourning experience following the death of someone important to you. Death is an inevitable part of life, something that virtually all of us go through at some point—losing someone you love can be one of the most painful experiences you’ll ever have to endure. Whether it’s a close friend, spouse, parent, child, or other relative, the death of a loved one can feel overwhelming.

You may experience waves of intense and very difficult emotions, ranging from profound sadness, emptiness, and despair to shock, numbness, guilt, or regret. You might rage at the circumstances of your loved one’s death—your anger focused on yourself, doctors, other loved ones, or God. You may even find it difficult to accept the person is really gone or struggle to see how you can ever recover and move on from your loss. Grief is both a universal and a personal experience. Individual experiences of grief vary and are influenced by the nature of the loss. You should seek help and assistance in the grief process.

Who was Natalie Cole?

She was an American singer-songwriter, daughter of mid-century crooner Nat King Cole, and was best known for her Grammy Award-winning songs. Cole's career took flight, and throughout the 1970s, she turned out four gold and two platinum records.

Cole hit a lull in her career in the early 1980s due to her struggle with drug addiction. Yet she returned after rehab. She began recording again and was back on the charts with a megahit by the mid-'80s. Cole died from congestive heart failure on December 31, 2015, in Los Angeles, California. As a favorite, Cole leaves behind a legacy as one of the most celebrated and iconic women in R&B.

Psychologists are leaving standard treatment modalities and venues behind entirely and bringing interventions into communities that embrace the background, culture, and challenges of men of color. Research has shown that positive interventions in barbershops, churches, and other social meeting places demonstrate they're powerful vehicles for encouraging healthy and help-seeking behaviors.

As the central format for these programs is extended, kinship circles, where men and boys—sometimes from multiple generations—come together to talk, share in communal ceremonies, and heal racial wounds. The circles create a space for honest sharing about life’s realities, including the internalized experiences of racism, its emotional and psychosomatic effects, and how these problems can affect members of the group as well as their community and family members.

Locking men up for lack of child support has never been the answer—it's counterproductive.

Basic training, which covers topics including parenthood, teen fatherhood, relationships, addiction, rites of passage, reacclimating into society after leaving prison, and more, is productive and positive.

To understand the psychology behind deadbeat behavior, we need to examine many factors that can influence a father’s decision to provide or withhold financial provision. These factors can be divided into three broad categories: individual, social, and economic, all previously discussed.

Black men’s mental health matters. While Americans Africans experience similar rates of mental illness as other Americans in general, there are contextual differences. Black adults living below the poverty line are more than twice as likely to report serious psychological distress as U.S. adults who enjoy greater financial security, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Minority Health. Depressive symptoms among people of African descent are more disabling, persistent, and treatment-resistant than they are among European people. There's so much more to this, and I will try to share so that the myth is debunked.
