SECOND TERM OF CHANGE

2013-01-02T09:59:00.004-08:00

One would like to embrace the notion that change has come. One could argue there is a "BLACK MAN" that is PRESIDENT. One can dismiss the fact that his mothers cousin was the vice president or that he has NO CONNECTION to his KENYAN father. One would need to go further to understand the ESSENCE of a BLACK MAN. Black is used for the sole purpose to universally refer to one of AFRICAN descent as described by 1drop rule. In all facets of the world BLACK is an American term. Excuse the slight detour, but it is the intention to convey complete understanding of the term as a critical eye examines the second term of this"BLACK " President.

Blacks in America are treated less than animals. There have to step and fetch, show no connection to Africa Diaspora, forget about and never mention slavery to be accepted,embraced ok'd for clearance. This may seem HARSH but he reality of this is EXTREMELY prevalent in this LAND OF THE FREE. The social conformity to an EDUCATED AFRICAN is one of CAUTION..DISTRUST.APPREHENSION. So as this BLACK President enters this second term what will change for the race he's classified as.....NOTHING. In fact , there is a movement to FURTHER OPPRESS the NEW GENERATION of African Males. This new generation are TIRED of the status~quo. But wait ..MURDER in the name of community policing etc is going virtually unchecked. Murder by the FRATERNAL BROTHERHOOD OF AMERICA aka the POLICE. Young men HAVE BEEN GUNNED DOWN BY THESE PUBLIC SERVICE members with NO JUSTIFICATION, if one will accept the minuscule justification or 'provocation" then YOUNG WHITE BOYS should start to be murdered TODAY.

What will change...WHAT HAS CHANGED..WHAT PROGRESSION HAS OCCURRED for the BLACK community???

PILGRAMS VS NATIVE AMERICANS

2012-11-22T00:37:00.000-08:00

This will be short. The Native Americans were already here on "PLYMOUTH" hunting and Gathering. Living peacefully within the boundaries negotiated between tribes. So the Pilgrims come along and murder, steal, poison all in the name of CIVILITY. HMMM..MAYBE THE MEMO WAS READ WRONG. Furthermore, why are scores of AFRICAN AMERICANS PREPARING TURKEYS as a perpetual ritual of false HISTORY?
So, we barely have an attachment to our own history ,yet we'll partake in the sanctimonious ceremony. There is no need to regurgitate information you can find throughout the W.W.W. as well as colleges, libraries, etc. The point is ..WE AS AFRICAN AMERICAN need to RECREATE OUR OWN CULTURAL TRADITIONS. Celebrate and pay homage to our events.

ROSEY ROSEVILLE

2012-11-21T08:50:00.001-08:00

The sun shines everyone has a smile on there face. Stay at home mothers are abound most mornings power walking the mall or jogging the Galleria area. This is a surface view of this area that claims to be so ROSEY. Upon further inspection it is a modern day slave town where anyone other than ROSEY WHITES are seen as servants and peasants.

Entering most business you will see a constant pattern. Whites are mangers ,shop keepers, store owners even homeless but Mexicans are the cleaners ,Blacks are look at as diseased and others are so few and far in between one can only imagine what they go through.

Let's take one of the oldest most ESTABLISHED companies Nordstrom. Upon walking in this Nordstrom you see PREDOMINATELY white mangers,co-managers in every department. Again MEXICANS make up THE ENTIRE CLEANING STAFF but the call them facilities. To make up for the lack of Blacks they can be found down in the basement labeled as stock. There are about (3) on floor. But a slogan the manager has adopted the saying "well this is ROSEY ROSEVILLE."

Now what a parody. As someone said" if Nordstrom wanted to change the perception they would, one can clearly walk into this store and she that it's RACIST." A note to readers..Don't go during holidays. Go during off season..the help changes according to need, meaning to give the massas a break for maternity etc..more color is brought in to drive sales due to the perception of a company that serves all.

The TRAP

2012-11-19T09:44:00.000-08:00

The American Dream ...exist only in the confines of ones mind. To bring this to fruition as an African/Black in America is to TOTALLY GIVE UP YOUR CULTURE AND REALITIES..CHARACTER..PERSONALITY. One will have to forgo this in order to make the MASSA ....HAPPY..COMFORTABLE...SECURE..RELAXED. This concept has always eluded me. The question that I often ponder is "HOW IS A LEADER DOCILE.UNSURE..CONFUSED?"Then one would say it's your TONE...my TONE..but then when I COUNTER it's your IMPLIED ACCUSATIONS...I'm labeled AGGRESSIVE. This "culture" has reigned over all NATIONALITIES in America forcing them to CONFORM TO ONE WAY.. WHITE.

It is a TRAP due to the COST of SUCCESS. The conditions that one is subjected to in order to TASTE success. When one has a CONSCIENCE that is ACUTELY aware of the impact pebble can make then the CAPITALIST embed fear amongst those that are not such AWARE. The TRAP is as old as COLONIALISM yet for generations WE have bought into this TRAP.

One must think..to go without for a short time yet REAP the benefits of ones STRIFE for the FREEDOM of thought,place ,and TIME; or SUFFER INDEFINITELY for a PLACE in aN ECONOMIC SOCIETY in which YOU are TREATED AS PUPPETS/WHORES/VILLAINS and any other DEGRADATION this society DEEMS APPLICABLE?

TRAP~BONDAGE share similarities for the expressed purpose of this blog. One is in BONDAGE ..mental..physically if one can not FREELY MOVE ABOUT WITHOUT in a assumed CIVILIZED nation. TRAP ...in a SYSTEMIC process that OUST one for showing ALLEGIANCE TO CONSCIENCE ....PROGRESSION ...and INTELLECT.

THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS BASED EXPERIENCES WITHIN THE SOCIETY I LIVE.https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/MIND-OVER-MATTER/118970844808774

Social/Economic conditions have NOT changed

2012-11-15T08:41:00.000-08:00

Economy is bad but now it will become NON ~EXISTENT to us ..the BLACK people who openly celebrate the Presidency. Already the quote unquote NATURAL movement has given pause to many employers. Making such statements has labeled many as militant the NEW Black pANTHER MOVEMENT.sO am I to assume that all whites who want to were a bald head ARE KKK and act accordingly? The precarious position AWAKE/AWARE Blacks find them selves is reminiscent of pre~civil war days....

The most exasperating deliberation to wear my NATURAL all the way picked out or just twisted as to not SCARE the white folk is INFURIATING as an intellectual affront. Social Norms is where one is fooled. I'll expand ..you see kids of all RACE embracing the Culture of RAP/HIP~HOP~REGGAE basically all forms of AFRICAN music..yet AFRICAN/BLACK AMERICANS are the HIGHEST OPPRESSED in EVERY AMERICAN SYSTEM.

Against all the rhetoric and subjugation the above opinion can be backed by FACTS that are easily discovered in ALL systems..laws...demographics..etc...

MMMMM

2012-09-20T09:01:00.001-07:00

Thinking of the proper way to negotiate the next level in LIFE..LIFE for a STRONG~MINDED go getter in a corporate ..passive world. The question boils down to the TONE of the VOICE...So when I'm light almost airy this is acceptable...let me try to wrap my MIND around this CONCEPT...HUUUUM...........

In the 21st century I as a BLACK EDUCATED WOMAN am to allow a WHITE woman to speak to me in any TONE she chooses just because she has the "AMERICAN "perception of of POWER...I am wrestling with this completely...
Now I am to ACCLIMATE to speak WHITE to try and APPEASE this IN BREED ...INTERESTING..

This WORLD is soo backwards...Needless to say I am the HUSTLER of the TEAM but not the STEPPIN ~N~FETCHIN they hoped for...AGAIN with the invisible HOOPS...AGAIN ..INTERESTING...

I KNOW WHO I AM AND WHERE I COME FROM....

ASSIMILATION

2012-09-20T08:27:00.001-07:00

In a world that tells you "go with the flow" one would assume assimilation is a healthy action. Well if one is constantly told to assimilate then what does that say to ones individualism? How can one be greater than the other? More important , who determines the proper level of assimilation?

Interestingly enough these and other questions are rarely asked. Society has put so much emphasis on assimilating that it has become a natural thought for the masses. So when an injustice has occurred or in process ,NO ONE flinches due to the subliminal conscience agreeing to the "troublemaker" that is not trying to embrace the conditions.

Example, there is a new awakening of NATURAL hair movement within the African American community in California.Now for those of you that are not from the SUNSHINE state were images of BLONDE HAIR BLUE EYES are the more popular you probably are amongst the "WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL" questioners. Well when going into corporate America where ASSIMILATION is what is silently pushed while"INNOVATIVE,PROGRESSIVE PROJECTS" are said to be in need, this is a problem.

To embrace the texture and diversity of ones hair is INNOVATIVE, so why are companies promoting the "CORPORATE" look if they want to be recognized GLOBALLY. The constant push to look like SUZIE OR SARAH is exasperating. More so then preparing for the ACTUAL JOB. So again ,one may ask WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? Well the big deal is ASSIMILATION is the age old process of racism and segregation. It is a big deal due to the fact that ones embracing of CULTURE/ETHNICITY is called to question ones WORK ETHIC and CAPABILITY in a quote unquote PROFESSIONAL environment. Again some may say, SO.
Well for those people that feel ASSIMILATION is not synonymous ANNIHILATION..DECIMATION...then carry onhttp://youtu.be/pnvU2V93S2s

NO PASSES

2012-09-07T14:59:00.001-07:00

Interestingly THE penalty for African American mistakes,misjudgement ,self made persona is LIFETIME turmoil. Now one may say this is a little harsh but this person may not have knowledge FIRSTHAND of repairing ones NAME.
The hoops or judgements held by EMPLOYERS whom are predominately NON BLACK are RELENTLESS. One is expected perfection. One has impositions that far EXCEED the job requirement.
It's alarming that the PURSUIT of EQUALITY has to be one without BLEMISH.
One could ask how is it PROGRESSION when abuse of power is DIVVIED up to certain individuals whom historical DETERMINATION to PERSEVERE has proven FRUITFUL.
Submission as if one does not deserve to succeed if qualified...THIS will be a continued topic in short waves. IN general people just dont understand the STRUGGLE...http://youtu.be/x8fkv1UQcPg

Control

2012-09-03T07:54:00.001-07:00

There is a complexity of success few seem to master. The complete concept reflects submission rather than dominance over people and events... There are also this skill called TEAM WORK..which again reflects concession. In leadership the key word is LEAD all this fake BONDS HUMM ... Just aggravating! As the saying goes ... Gotta get my mind right...

Nothing NEW

2012-09-01T18:45:00.000-07:00

In this growing nation nothing is NEW in terms of equality and advancement. In fact it seems that the older society becomes the more it reverts to the ways of old. Is it the stress of losing everything to greedy capitalist or is it the shift in the workforce? Has anyone noticed that in an effort to corrupt children companies has taken away an young adults life lesson to work or earn a living by raising the legal age of employment. Now, with this implementation, how can families educate or teach their young adults to be independent. What about education? If you are not wealthy you can you can not purchase the books needed to facilitate the inadequate education public schools provide within low income areas. SO...what can one say is new...

In the global eye this has done nothing but weakened our future. There is an epidemic of followers. It's not a conscientious choice by any means but nonetheless prevalent in all aspects of perceived success. When you notice that televised successes are rare in the areas of CEO,ENTREPRENEUR,SCIENTIST,ASTRONAUTS etc. The frustration of the plight of a nation is exasperating. There is no single factor to this situation but the main ones are being overlooked constantly.

My concern is life has not presented mass opportunities outside of acting,dancing or entertainment. Where grassroots philanthropy occurs very little media coverage follows. This is an OLD topic with no changes in the works. Although I'm sure many would say change takes time well it's been over four hundred years so the change or headway PRESENTED are not SUFFICE...

A new WORLD

2011-10-27T07:14:00.000-07:00

Has time come to an end? Has it become so hard that the fight fight for basic CIVIL liberities has been disspelled? As we reach another election it seems that nothing of substance has changed. The same RHETORIC is being played . Preying on the American thirst for STABILITY but still dangling carrot PROMISES. It is time for the intellectuals to become MILATANT. It is ttime for the so called HOODLUMS TO REBEL....It is time that the MASSES ...WHICH ARE THE POOR ,THE WORKING TO RISE AND TAKE THEIR PLACE...Times are not changing in a BETTER DIRECTION..ONLY AND ELITIST AGENDA...WAKE UP....

LIFE

2011-06-30T10:29:00.000-07:00

So there is a conversation taking place at work in regards to the possible funding cuts to HBCU's . The conversation includes a mini synopsis of what/why/how HBCU's are important. There is one African American girl about 22 who ask"what is segregation?" At this point I'm waiting for the PUN or SUMTHING..Never in my WILDEST Dreams would I think a girl that age with two parents would have to ask such a RIDICULOUS QUESTION. I explain what it is in my usual incredulous tone when faced with sheer IGNORANCE.The face that this girl was serious was one of HORROR. I can not not imagine growing up in TEXAS she did not know what segregation meant. To add to my quest for a better AFRICAN AMERICAN life I have began to think of ways to address more of the same IGNORANCE. The audacity that anyone would think that this country is sooo GREAT that there is no need to understand Social Structure totally UNNERVES ME! Life is full of subtle implications as well as overt gestures to stay in one's place, class etc. Reality is definitely distorted !!!

Conspiracy Theory

2011-06-28T08:00:00.000-07:00

Look at the world today. Look at the alliances that have come FULL CIRCLE. Most have oppressed the POOR. Greed has robbed men and raped women relentlessly. DIPLOMACY is just a euphemism ORGANIZED CRIME. When you think of filmmaker Micheal Moore so would equate his build to imply TRASH but in actuality he is the TRUTH...Have you seen the clip of former(little) Bush telling him to "GET A JOB" after his film "CAPITALISM" was released. Epic encounter social/civil advocates understood the comment but it can be assumed it was dismisse as HUMOR by the MASSES. The general topic of this blog has a negative correlation to quacks. In the masses mind because most people to not ANALYZE information for themselves. If it sounds ridiculous and has no correlation to the scheduled topic then of course it is PROPAGANDA. If mass media has it on rotation then it is PROPAGANDA. Let's not just acknowledge this FACT let's ACT upon this !

Government Sponsored Racism

2011-06-28T06:54:00.000-07:00

Brick CityThere are so many examples of the title I can't possible fit them into this blog.. Today's topic was inspired by Gary McCarthy(new police chief of Chicago.) He has a record of honesty and BLUNT reality. It was a beautiful morning to read this statement. The so called Chiefs of Police in many crime ridden areas have never SAID what needed to be said but today Mr. McCarthy did it for them. The acknowledgement of Guns flooding the streets of areas that children can't even get a decent school BOOK is nothing less than Social Structure "Theory." Which is a theory based on reality but the refusal by the POWERS that be the poor will continue to be victimized. There is a guidline across the world that impose WEALTHY or ELITE wants over the NEEDS of the people. Ironically this theory dates back to the early eighteen hundreds. The social deterioration of tooday is different in one way WE ARE NOT FIGHTING BACK!!! The civil/social movements of yesterday are the reason we can do so many simple things that have always been birthrights for the WEALTHY of the right color. Yes race is always a touchy subject only because people do not want to have EQUALITY. The prefer to have ELITISM. Which inevitable cost the poor their LIVES. The MOVEMENT is still alive but the TREACHERY has grown 10folds. Scare tactics,hopelessness, passivity,obsticles have blinded the minority and caused self hatred. We are in this together BLACK and BROWN ....when we get organized and united ALL will know what RACISM means. Let me clarify ALL OF US UNITED will know WHAT/WHO RACISM aims to keep down. LOOK AT THE HOOVER DOCTRINE...It is still APPLICABLE today. Again I say WAAAAAAAAAAAAKE UP!!!!!!!

Healthcare vs Crime

2011-06-24T05:09:00.000-07:00

The United States has it's hand in EVERYONE else's DIPLOMACY but can't manage their own SOCIAL STRUCTURE??? Confused ? Not really ...when a NATION wants to remain PUBLICLY on top then SOCIAL issues are no exsistant. United States is GREAT at DIPLOMACY..but as in any GAME one has to careful who they ALIGN themselves with.The United States is align with soo many QUESTIONABLE NATIONS what does that say...their SMART?...CRAFTY?..RESOURCEFUL?..no! It shows their GREEDY as every other MONARCHY.
It can be said America has the BEST opportunities but REALLY...of the author of this blog won't be taken out a shot for such strong implications but ummm is the PASSIVE /AGGRESSIVE appoarch any different?Freedom of SPEECH to a certain extent.. The public is soo disillusioned as to REALITY!!
Now why is it that the most PROGRESSIVE nations can provide HEALTHCARE and EDUCATION to its CITIZENS but the GREAT SUPER POWER WILL NOT? When an individual has to get arrested to receive medical treatment WHAT IS GOING ON? People have been commiting crime to STAY WARM/EAT etc but now its ESCALATED TO HEALTHCARE..Wait let's CRITICALLY analyze this new MASS MEDIA ATTENTION....Of course something more is going on!! BUT Americans WILL WAIT FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME TO BRING THE IDEA UP OR START THE OUTRAGE...Just PATHETIC....

Expression

2011-06-23T10:31:00.000-07:00

There is nothing more misunderstood than SILENT GESTURES,although it is the strongest form of communication. HMMM?How can that be? Well , sometimes when one individual is passionate with hand motions and another may be reserved does not necessarily mean both are not equally passionate. It is rarely clear of the intent of a silent gesture unless one speaks. Often leading to miscommunication. Why the topic, well it seems that many people are choosing to express themselves through silent statements or gestures via clothing, Internet,etc.
The desire to articulate one's point of view has been reduced to slogans or catch phrases. No one wants to engage one another thus retreating to fantasy or logos. Yes, we are granted freedom of expression but I sure the fore fathers were referring to language,speech,critical assessment.

Father's Day: 80 Percent Of Black Father's Say They Get A Bad Rap | News One

Father's Day: 80 Percent Of Black Father's Say They Get A Bad Rap | News One

Yesterday was Father's Day and many children as we know were not in their Father's presence. For me my father is deceased but I was one that DID NOT have my father PRESENCE. What I had was brothers and a host of cousins. I learned alot from them but I was STILL jaded if you will by the lack of my FATHER'S PRESENCE. I read the above article and was happy to hear that their are FATHER'S in their children's life(not that I was unaware).The issue I have with most African American FATHER'S is their lack of consistency. If you are TRULY dedicated to provide financial/emotional support to your child then why have you continuously been inconsistent? The article states that the majority of survey takers held some degree. I don't give too much weight to this either because I know educated men who are present in their " FAVORITE CHILD/WOMEN" life. This is another issue, don't punish the child for your immaturity. Most men only punish STRONG BLACK WOMEN by NEGLECTING their child because the woman has picked her heart up and moved forward without revisiting the why's and focused their energy on the child. At the same token I know of uneducated men that will drop everything to be with their child. So , where's the medium you ask, the medium is with US men and women taking responsibility. By this I mean you know someone that is a single mother or someone that has children and are not doing their part. A TRUE friend will help mediate!!! It is the CHILDREN THAT NEED OUR HELP!!!!!

How to Start a New Career at Any Age - Yahoo! Education

With all the job loss one can take advantage of this series. As I was reading through articles even I got new ideas. I have always been an advocate for continuing education. There are many plus' for African American finishing or continuing their education. Education does not DEFINE you but it INTRODUCES you to the employer, or as the articles state it gives you a starting salary that is above entry level. There are also other factors to ensure that the NEW opportunities are capitalized. Of course I am not remiss to think this task is not a difficult one. There are many factors that may prevent you from attending school. I encourage you to not limit yourself! Naysayers are negative for a reason...look for that one individual that says YOU CAN DO IT MAN/GURL!!!!!! Another quick thing DO NOT GO TO THESE QUICK SCHOOLS..employers over the long hall to not compensate the same as a if you receive an A.A. The process is the same. You can attend your local community college online and manage you time will working or whatever you want!!!!!!

Black Life

2011-06-17T07:55:00.000-07:00

From Social to Economic African Americans seem to be EXPENDABLE. Only the lowest form could promote such HIERARCY.. The focus is no longer on the plight of slavery, the focus has and should always be on the OPPRESSION of any minute right to engage in LIFE. Short comparision ..when the little white boy or girl messes up in school, home or in public it is tolerated ,made a joke and HUMORED ,EXCUSED, JUSTIFIED. The implication is that off CIRCUMSTANCE provides a pass in the white race and public as well. Across the board white engaged in more PUBLIC CRIME than all African Americans. So let's examine the CIRCUMSTANCE that perpetuates self destruction. Poor services from, POLICE PROTECTION, EDUCATION, FOOD,WATER, HOME SECURITY, DIVORCE, ABSENT FATHER, MASS PROPAGANDA..the list can continue.
Not to leave out the FEW success stories of the 21st Centrury.The fact that African Americans are asked to shed their identity in order to be relevant in MASS SOCIETY is an SLAP IN THE FACE TO MANY. Why should we have to conform to what some other race THINKS IS SAFE AND APPROPIATE BEHAVIOR?? We discovered many things in our NATURAL BEAUTY that made "US" THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER COMMODITY. We discovered sooooo many first that it BEHOOVES me why we DON'T TAKE OUR PLACE AS ONE? How are we going to help abroad before we HELP AT HOME? BLACK LIFE HAS AND ALWAYZ WILL BE PRICELESS...

This sequel to Over and Over Again was kind off a let down. The plot was suppose to thicken but instead was very "READABLE" The outcome was a testament to love of difficult understandings. Many women can relate to the story but few can relate to the outcome making it unrealistic... It was short also...I read this in about three hours between work.

The Work of Global Equality

2011-06-16T09:09:00.000-07:00

There are numerous of FLUFF organizations claiming to be working towards some type of equal rights mission. The reason I use the term FLUFF is because most of these organizations are BILLIONAIRE PLUS corporations usually inflicting more damage to the region than their token gift of limited services. This FLUFF can also be traced to some of the most egregious acts within these countries. So ,the question is , How does the international court regulate these countries when the international court's members are made from the LEADERS within these countries that are in bed with these FLUFF crusaders? There is so much propaganda out there that general CRITICAL thought has went out the door. There's alot of COMMONERS if you will that are willing to risk there life for the BASIC necessities of others. Americans are the biggest CONSUMERS and POLLUTERS in the WORLD. Yet some of the best and brightest are from countries that children are dying from hunger, water is toxic to drink if at all available, women are raped trying to gather firewood to cook, the list go on. In addition these countries produce children that give back to their country. It is something to be said about SELF PRESERVATION that Americans so selfishly indulge. Yet we are referred as the WORLD POWER.

The Kept Woman

2011-06-14T06:33:00.000-07:00

What does it mean to be KEPT? How many Arican American women can relate to this term? Is this turn even discussed within our communities? Well ironic as it may seem many women seek this STATURE but go about it in the wrong way. If one wants to be Provided with their HEARTS desire within a Marrriage or Single, a women must possess certain qualities and be willing to ADD to the partnership on DIVERSE levels.
To be KEPT is not to be taken LIGHT. Now there are many MISTRESS' out there but that is not the audience I 'm seeking. I speaking to the WIFEY material or LONG TIME FRIEND IN A MONOGOMUS relationship. Particularly in the African American community . We have DEVALUED our WORTH by not DIVERSIFYING out QUALITIES.
In a recent conversation it was brought to my attention of just how much I resemble a KEPT woman. Intially I was SHOCKED because like many I associated the word as DEROGATORY...The person I was speaking with went through explaining the TRUE meaning . Now, don't think this was a far out conversation.Seriously, I respect the individual as they are well informed on the TERM as a lover of EUROPEAN culture historical and present. With that being said , sisterz it is simply an POINT of knowing your station or class level. I am not a "WORKER" does this imply that I am LAZY ,DOCILE, without AMBITION, NO. This just is something that is taught , learned at around age 10 maybe sooner. I enjoy DIVERSE things and see no reason to "WORK" my way through a system that is MEANINGLESS but on FALSE PROMISES. I enjoy being a HOMEMAKER, ACTIVIST,ADVOCATE, etc. I am interested in an array of events.
Simply , know your worth ,know your station, THE SOONER YOU CAN ACCEPT IT THE SOONER YOU CAN CLAIM IT!!!!!!!

Self Acceptance

2011-06-12T21:06:00.000-07:00

Search Amazon.com for FIRST 100 BLACK INVENTORSAs African ~Americans there are so many images that portray us as the ULTIMATE TABOO for many reasons or ideals passed as FACT....There are numerous POSITIVE images that we can draw on ..but for some odd reason we WORK to become the biggest BAPHOON....It is through Acceptance of our TRUE Self as a PEOPLE with RICH HISTORY. We originate from the most RESILIENT NATIONZ ON THE PLANET... Our history consist of WARRIORS, QUEENS, ENTREPRENURS, BUSINESSMEN/WOMEN, PIONEERS,SURGEONS, ETC....Yet we are lost. Are values are nothing short of LUNACY. Now we can use the argument of lost fathers and mothers to DRUGS,CRIME ETC..but let's remind ourselves that our ANCESTORS were stolen from their land , sold away from their MOTHER ,FATHER ,SISTER ,BROTHER etc. Through all of that they were able to RISE and maintain INTEGRITY...by accepting LOVING BELIEVING IN SELF.

Think on This

2011-06-08T04:17:00.000-07:00

African Americans are the largest Consumers in America; yet we still are last in MOST ECONOMIC /SOCIAL classes. How is this possibble ? Let's not assume that MOST are DRUG dealers. The problem goes deeper than this simplistic explanation that MANY indulge.
The reason a group can CONSUME an EXCESS of anything (FOOD,ALCHOL,RX DRUGS etc.) is ROOTED in the lack of or oppression, self~esteem,depression, the list goes on. When you look at the conditions of the mass African Americans many are living in THIRD World conditions. Yet if you look at places such as Haitti (prior to earthquake)WARLORDS where able to secure an arsenal of guns,amminotion, drugs etc. The pyshological reasoning for these type of behaviors are KNOWN to CAPITALIST. The general behavior that is associated with harse conditions are not KNOWN by accident, there are MILLIONS of dollars SPENT to PERFECT the CONDITIONS that would KEEP CONSUMERS,CONSUMERS and CAPITALIST, CAPITALIST...What steps can you make TODAY to POSITIVILY impact your LEGACY?

Southern Education

2011-06-07T20:24:00.000-07:00

Well , I have been down South for about 9months;upon my arrival I was excited to be in the "second" homeland. I quickly began my journey to quench the thirst of Southern Comfort. I was impressed with the daily etiquette. I wanted to go further and connect with intellectual professionals, so I preceded to the place where you would assume these professionals would congregate. I went to the local college system to start my networking. I'm from a diverse area so I was extremely comfortable speaking to many people whom I thought would want to engage with me. I was MISTAKEN.....
I have decided to stay current in my field so I 'm taking self interest courses. I have come to terms that not everyone would like to stay current in politics/economics or even social class issues. It is very disappointing to see people whom look like me "finally" and have them not share my enthusiasm for KNOWLEDGE.
The Administration staff is nonchalant, rude and just plain ignorant. I should not have to pull teeth to want an education. The fact that I am in the building seeking information should invoke some type of fever. It is infuriating to see that people just don't want to WORK. I mean do we need to go back to SLAVERY? I know this is a shocking question but REALLY..what does it take to help someone else that is trying to better themselves?
