Jack’s Winning Words 5/14/18
“You want me to be great, but you don’t ever want me to say I’m great.”  (Kanye West) Have you heard… never discuss money, religion or politics?  Kanye, the rap star, is in the news for saying “Slavery is a choice,” and for admiring Pres. Trump…2 of the 3.  When boxer Ali proclaimed, “I am the greatest,” I saw it as a shtick, a way of getting attention.  The more I read about West, the more I wonder, “Is he for real?”  Most of us have a story beyond the obvious.    ;-)  Jack

FROM WALMART REV:  "I'm not telling?!" 0;-)====JACK:  I tell my story when I want to make a point about how God can make a change in the direction of one's life.

FROM FACEBOOK LIZ:  continuing to live in a “slave state of mind” is what kanye refers to...
black americans have every opportunity, and more... thanks to affirmative action policies of the past... but still live second-class lives? why? it makes no sense. especially when others like kanye & oprah have made it.  democrats want to keep blacks needing democrats is all...====JACK:  The point of today's message is that each of us has a "story" beyond our words and actions...so try to withhold snap judgments until you hear more of that story.====LIZ:  in answer to your question, yes, he’s for real. why wouldn’t he be for real? bc he is not what you and others think a “real black guy” should be?====JACK:  How do you know what I think of Kanye?

FROM TAMPA SHIRL:  Yes he is for real and he is brave in the current wave in our country ====JACK:  Yes, but you listen to his music?====SHIRL:  Never that I know of. Have u?====JACK:  I pulled some up on YouTube...10 of his songs.  I didn't make it thru.

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  I have never been able to relate to Kanye West. Can't imagine being Kim K. and married to such a person!! But then I don't have to ...God loves us all unconditionally, so I try
not to be judgmental!  Live and let live...====JACK:  It seems as tho some readers today thought that I was being judgmental...I was just asking if this is his real personna, or it is an act?  I don't know enough to be judgmental..

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  Ali needed the press...Kanye doesn’t.  Slavery today has a different master....drugs, porn, sex, and dozens of other issues.===JACK:  Those are some interesting thoughts.  Thanks
