Decode Your Life By Living It Without Regret or Sorrow. - ONE DAY AT A TIME - Let’s get it right.... so we don’t confuse me opening a can of tuna for a can of worms. Even though ‘can’ opening is involved. Two very different contents. By definition, Lunchin means: Urban Dictionary https://www.urbandictionary.com › define › term=lunchin It means to act stupid, or do something stupid. It also can mean to be burnt, meaning you are slow or blank, because you're zoned or high What does lunchin mean in slang? Lunchin – adj. Tripping; Off one's rocker; Something crazy; Acting a fool. Lunchin: acting crazy, doing too much. THIS IS THE CAN OF TUNA I WILL BE OPENING. NOT THE CAN OF WORMS BELOW: The title above is not a typo, nor a misspelling. Let’s not get the words confuse or make wrongful assumptions. Lunchin and Lynching are different. As Lynching by definition means: Lynching is an extrajudicial killing by a group. It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged transgressor, punish a convicted transgressor, or intimidate people. I am sorry for the educated amongst us that know the difference. But in today modern society we have to be careful of those that become easily offended and intellectually challenged as many jump to conclusion without understanding the meaning and intent of the usage of words. Case in point the Pickering Paradox below: This past week I was witness to a real sad state of affairs. I attended the Pickering town hall where about 15 - 18 different people made public delegations against an article that was published by councillor Lisa Robinson entitled, “IT IS NOT BLACK AND WHITE”. An article that called to question the fact that by society having a ‘BLACK HISTORY MONTH’ in itself is it not counter productive to the whole equality movement. In my day I have attended some real interesting city councils. This one truly made me feel sorry for humanity. I say this because many of those delegating clearly never read the article in question. It appeared from afar as many of these folks were somehow used as political tokens. I say this because Pickering Mayor, Kevin Ashe and City councillor Lisa Robinson have been feuding for some time. The delegations in my opinion missed their mark. They were full of passionate personal experiences and almost out right hatred for anyone that did not support their particular agenda. I believe that many that made declarations were lunchin. Their passionate presentations were intended to attack the councillor without the understanding of the facts. I bring to question if any of those presenting had actually read the column in it’s entirety. I can appreciate the associations and groups that presented against the councillor. After all some of them are highly funded by the City. Therefore it is understandably so that they would support the Mayor. As the Mayor of Pickering in my opinion is responsible for fanning the fires of racism. Mayor Ashe should have never gone public and denounce the right of a City councillor to exercise her right to write an opinion piece in this great newspaper. He, has no jurisdiction and or authority to attempt to control what council member do on their spare time. He does by policy have the right to bring to question the integrity of the intent of the article. This meaning that he should have first consulted the councillor in question. Then the newspaper. At the least he should have read the column. As in my opinion he has not and Mr. Ashe was lunchin as he showed his hate for the councillor and truly showed himself to be a real Ash. OOOOPS that was a spelling error. 18 delegations attacking the councillor with the same rage and anger. Delegations representing the black community. The same community that demanded respect and equality. The same community that in a verbal lynch type mentality were not there to educate and or find peaceful resolve. Instead, they exhibited hatred towards the councillor and demanded more than in once instance her resignation. Now, I ask you is this not a form of oppression. The verbal lynching mentality that they exhibited was lunchin. Bringing forth the true militant purpose of their racial agenda. Leaving out equality. Two hours she endured by a lunchin mob attempting to socially lynch her character for exercising her freedom of speech. Sad society we live in. So many confused and hurting souls. In Rodney King words, “ “Can we all get along?” is a far distant cry... as shown at council.
