“What does a “Cougar” have to do with a “Black Panther…”"

“What does a “Cougar” have to do with a “Black Panther…”"
Wow…

This is some crazy exciting stuff…
We as a nation are experiencing the Cougar Phenom… So let’s get right at it; Check it…

“Cougars” are older women who pay younger men to have sex with them… It is not uncommon for a young hot stud to have more than one cougar which entitles him to cars, houses, and cold hard cash… Now I am not an old hater, just a hater… Either way, Culturally Speaking, there is nothing new in this new phenom except that women today outrank men in the job market and have more disposable money for this social recreation…
Now who does this effect???
Well, since women in most places out number men by five to one, men for the most part are not effected, there are plenty fish in the sea… So then who is getting the “Short-end of this Culturally -Social Shaft??? Well ladies, it is the young woman from “the age of 18 to the age of Cougar” that is losing out here… What am I talking about??? Essence has done several articles on the subject and the understanding that the “Black Cougar” is the new social phenom in the black community… The fact are, according to Essence stated, “ ”only 1 in 3 “Black women” will ever get married…”
Wow…
That is staggering …
Men are becoming a commodity, especially young six-pack racking studs… That’s where the cougars are coming in to upset the natural flow of things and eatting these young studs up… So how is this possible when “the young hot bootie-licious fully developed hot black sista” has everything a young stud should want and more??? Why is that these young “Black Panthers” can’t get a man… Well there are several reason and they all begin with ”Green…” It is simple, the cougars are paying these young boys to perform and be their trophy piece.

Wow…

Let’s make no mistake, these young men are naturally fit and full of stamina, if you know what I mean… So in these tough economical times, it is a tastie treat for the young men to cater to a cough instead of having to man-up to be with a black panther… The cougar will give these young studs everything he want; where as with the young black panther he has to be a man a bring home the bacon, instead of being the bacon…
SO when the young black panther starts to complain about virturally anything, the young black stud kicks off into her ass and then retreats back to the couger for comfort…
What is that about???
“The Cougar phenom, baby!!!”
So you young hot “black panthers,” just because your young stud comes by once in a while and hit it, don’t mean you got a man…

Here is the definition of “Got a man:

1-If ”your stud-muffin” comes over and hit it just right and he aint got to get up to rush out as soon as the phone rings… Then you got a man

2-Your Mr. Got Swagger, not only pays the bills but he will walk with you to the church, hand in hand, in his “def suite” and you in your “fly Heels…” Then you got a man…

3-If your “Mr. Hit is Right everytime,” answers his phone on or before the third ring with a “hello baby” anytime you call – you got a man… See if he answers: “Hey U, Hello little mama, Hello in any other form other than hello baby, you might not have a man…

4-If “your always got to have it,” always want it – you got a man… If not??? Well you fill in the blank…

5-And most importantly, “Your lick you up and down until you say stop,” never, never, never have “Cougar Breath…” Then you got a man…

But (big phat cougar breath but in the room) the Cougars are snatching up every “young six-pack packing black stud” under the age of 35 they can get their money filled hands on… The consequence: You “young hot sexy tight black panthers” are losing and the question is why??? It is simple, the cougars have set you panthers up for failure because the Cougars made up the rules that the panthers are living by… And the panthers are wondering what is really going on…
So you “young hot sexy cool bootyliscious black panthers” had better “woman-up” or as Essence put it, you will be alone until you yourself becomes a “Cougar” too…

Wow…

Culturally Speaking; this “Cougar Phenom” is not new and has been the fall of all the modern civilization from Rome to Kemet… When the natural order of things are set asside - the end result is destruction… A young panther can’t look forward to marrying and raising family; instead she settles for having children out of wedlock which fragments our already fragile community even further…

Wow…

The solution is for “Black Panthers” reverse this Phenom on the Cougars… THe black Panthers who fall into his hopeless statistic of never marrying a young black stud, will have to seduce and marry men 20 and 30 years their senior… Culturally Speaking; this has been going on for years but (big phat it is time to turn the tide but in the room) if the young black panther want to marry and raise a proper family - this is the answer… This is also the solution to our single parent family crisis which is the major cause of our fragmented community… Lastly, this is also the solution to changing to mindset of “Cougars…” Cougars rely on the gap in society to play both sides of the fence… They play these young guys while being supported by these old guys who either keeps them employed or dies leaving them wealthy… Then the cougar become social irresponsible thus the “Cougar Phenom…”

Wow…

This is some wild stuff…

Do you feel me…

SO what do we say to these things…

“What does a “Cougar” have to do with a “Black Panther…”"

"Pres. Obama: "The Audacity of "Big Oil Drunks!!!"""

2010-06-15T11:34:00.000-04:00

Wow...

This is really some exciting stuff...
Let's get right to it...

The people of the Gulf have been intoxicated on "Big Oil" for years and as soon as the still spills they immediately go through the "DT's..." Wow... These people have a chemical dependency on the "Big Oil" like no where else in a America save Texas... And true to form, with the onset of withdrawal symptoms, comes the "craving" for "Big Oil" and their body is telling them that it "needs" more "Big Oil." As the physical symptoms of withdrawal begin to increase, taking another drink simply is the only thing that will satisfy them...
Wow... They get sicker and sicker as they watch all that "Big Oil" wash up on their coast instead of in great big drums so they can suck it up with a straw... Some of the symptoms are "mild" such as uncontrollable shakes, and sweats -- or perhaps nausea, headache, anxiety, a rapid heart beat, and increased blood pressure...

However, within six to 56 days after not drinking "Big Oil," hallucinations develop... They begin to see, taste, and smell "Big Oil" hallucinations which can last for weeks, months, or even years... Now after so many weeks of their precious "Big Oil" spilling on the beach, the people of the Gulf symptoms have progress into delirium tremens (DT's)... They are experiencing profound confusion, disorientation, hallucinations, hyperactivity, and extreme cardiovascular disturbances; to name a few...
Wow...
Now the Pres. is down their to assess their situation and he will find out very soon that short of giving them a really big drink of "Big Oil" there will be nothing he can say or do to change their symptoms... The Pres. must over look the symptom and address the real problem - "Big Oil Addiction..."
Wow... The only real treatment of "Big Oil Addiction" is to substitute it with high dosages of Medication (Drugs)... Move over "Snoop" there are 30 Millions Gulf "Big Oil Drunks" coming to a Pharmacy near you...
Wow...
I hope you feel me on this...
The people of the Gulf - James included - are acting like "Big Oil Drunks" who have emotional outburst as soon as you take their "Big Oil Bottle" from them... Ok to all you "Big Oil Gulppers" stop complaining over a few months of spilled oil when you have been "Gulping" it for years... The Pres. is not the "HMIC" (Head Maid In Charge), therefore grab a rag and start cleaning up... Besides, you are not the only situation happening in these UNited States - there are people dying in flood waters in Tenn, Ark, and Ok... I don't hear them complaining to the Pres. come down here and mop up this water... They are doing like American have done for centuries - roll up their sleeve and get to work...
You "Spoilled Gulf Big Oil Bibbers" save 11 are not dying from your addiction... So, get a grip... The Pres. is going to make sure that "BP" cough up enough money for all your medication so you can get a substitute for your addiction... Snoop you might want to buy up a huge supply, these "Gulf Gulppers" are some heavy users... Dahhhhhh!!!!
Wow...
"And who ruined the tourist industry on the Gulf beaches???" - The Gulf Gulppers by screaming "OMG the Spill - the Spill..." Crap you scared the Gulf going beach urge out of me... It wasn't until I saw the Pres. second visit down there on CNN that I realized that there was no "Big Oil" to mention washing up on the beach... See there goes those Hallucinations again... The Gov. of Miss. is not as addicted because he said from the getty-up, "Our beaches are clean- come to Ole Miss..."
Wow...
Now if you "Big Oil Addicts" were smart, you would take your boats out there and suck up all the oil you could then sell it on the open market... No one owns that oil floating on the water... You should start a "Big Oil Black gold Rush..." Force the Government to buy it from you as recycled oil, like I do with recycled cans... Now that is what you do with "Spilled Oil..."
I hope you feel me...
All I am saying is that "Culturally Speaking" we as a people don't allow the Brits from being a pain in our ass... We as Americans always find a way to "KICK THIER ASS!!!"

Wow...

who is the blame for this catastropheNow"B. P." , Johnny???

Good answer Johnny, now why can't they stop the leak???

"Stupid..."

Another good answer Johnny...
Now Johnny what would you do...
"I would fire all the engineers and hire "Cowboys...""
CowBoys, Johnny???
"Yes, COwboys know How to corral "Big Oil" then run it out through a shoot until they could stop the leak... " OH wow... So all "BP" has to do is create a mile high - mile wide corral of burlap to gather the spill around the leak then suck it out from the top because oil rises to the top of water... "
Great Johnny, you are the student of the day...

Wow...

It seems to me that if "BP" wanted to contain the oil spill they could... Besides if you are going to be "Big Oil" then be "Big Oil..."

WOw...

2010-04-09T04:43:00.000-04:00

Wow...

This is some exciting stuff...
Let's get right at it...
Wow, what about that Tiger Woods???
I am a golf fan because of Tiger...
Now this Stuff with "Billie Pain" is a real joke...
If this had come from the Pope at the Vatican it might be creditable but (first big phat but in the room) coming from Mr. Pain on the grounds of the one of the most discriminating place on the planet (The Masters) all I can say is, "Bullshit!!!"
Tiger is a great golfer...
No one forces anyone to watch him play golf...
No one in their right mind will put any man or woman above God as being perfect...
If anyone looks at Tiger as a "moral role model" then shame on you...
Tiger is an athlete...
Need I say more???
Didn't think so...

Wow...
Now what about that Pres. Obama... Whether he runs for another term or not, he is truly giving us every ounce of his talent this term... I can only say,

"Bravo Mr. President, Bravo!!!"

Wow...
"Mr. Pres. Obama: "The audacity of Sean Penn!!!""

Culturally speaking, most people that do great things in life give to those less fortunate than themself even thou they don't have too... I believe Sean is doing just that... Sean is on the ground in Haiti making a difference by exposing the lack of action on the ground by the "Aid Agencies" that we have so graceously given too... I believe it is a travisty that those funds have not gotten to those who so desperately need them right now (sooner than later)...
I heard Sean say tonight on CNN that "everyone know that the rain is coming..." Many Haitians are going to die without the necessary funds to address this tragic situation... I agree with Mr. Penn because I have been working to reach "Yele.org" and many other agencies to propose the use of "Shipping Containers" as a sustainable housing solution for the Haitian people... This is not new technology... I am presently a student at NC A&T SU in the construction management dept. where we have exploded this technology as a mean of providing the necessary housing for all people (Especially Haiti) that are homeless because of a natural disaster... It is our desire to use this proven technology in Haiti because of it's many benefits...

To name a few:

1 - first and foremost containers are earthquake proof,

2 - according to an ongoing study called "SEED" there are already 70,000 surplus shipping containers rotting on the docks of Porta Prince as I write therefore not transportation cost,

3 - I believe the most important benefit is the containers ability to provide personal security and protection from the elements...

It is the last benefit that no one is talking about... Because of the lack of government in Haiti right now many women are left vulnerable to nightly sexual assault, kidnapping, and trafficking... Tents do not provide protection against sexual assault or physical protection for children... This is why Sean's work on the ground is so important... I believe that he is using his celebrity to get the press to put all these agencies (lack of action) on "Blast!!!" I have communicated our ideas with the TJMS and have received positive response from TJ... I hope that other black radio stations will began to put these agencies on "Blast" to jolt them into action... I hope that we also can get agencies like the "Bill Clinton foundation" and Yele.org, to name a few, to take a look at our proposal to use shipping containers as immediate sustainable green housing for disaster relief... {My contact info:John at jajacobs@ncat.edu}...

Wow...

So to you Mr. Penn, "I salute you..."
Keep up the good work...
We need you there on ground to "document and put on blast" all those agencies who we have trusted to do the right thing...

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...

Do you feel???

I hope you do...

Wow...
THis is some really exciting stuff...
Lets take care of some "Cultural Acknowledgements" first... It looks like the Academy Awards have finally recognized great acting whatever the color of the actor... There was a lot of color on that stage this weekend... I am happy to see that the color lines have all been broken hopefully for good...

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff... Culturally Speaking, Pres. Obama is not the person that should be pushing the passing of this health care bill; it should be The Lame Dems - controlling party... How is it that the Dems have a "Super Majority" and "Can't pass gas..." History will leave on record that when given the opporturnity to "Pass the much need Health Care bill; The Dems could not "Pass Gas!!!"
What is that about???

Wow...
If that isnt an indication that they need to pass some form of Health care, I don't know what is???
Gas pain is a really serious medical condition...

Dahhhhhhhh!!!
So when the American people (Me included) vote the Dems out in the fall, it will be because they could not "Pass Gasssss!!!"
I hope you get my "Vibe..."

Wow...
I received the following piece from a friend of mine who thought, as I did, that this piece spoke volumes about our "Cultual Social Mentality..."

This is some exciting stuff...
Let me start off by saying hats off to TJMS - The Roland Martin segment... I could not pull myself away from the radio this morning as "Roland" did what he does best - "Preach-da-Politics!!!" It was a historical short dialogue that I hope is released as a "wake-up" call to all of US(A)... I have asked the question, "Who will pick up the torch and answer the call to action to effectively move "Civil Rights" into the 21st century..."
It sound like "Roland" has the conviction to do just that.... Roland answered the call with that awesome "call to action" this morning on the TJMS by urging all of US (A) to say as he has, "Here am I, send me..."
As Sybil so appropriately said at his conclusion, "Let the church say, Amen!!!"
"Amen..."
Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...
Hats off to NBC for balancing out the coverage of African-American competitors in the Vancouver Winter Olympics... I was surprized but (first big - you go girl but in the room) elated to see Little Ms. Cheltzie Lee (16) who is skating for Australian... Little Ms. Lee took full advantage on Tuesday night, showing no nerves to finish the night in 18th spot with a score of 52.16 points - her best ever...
Culturally Speaking, we have seen African-Americans on the ice before but (another big phat you go girl but in the room) with such a warm welcome in the past... I hope the stigma that black people don't ice skate is gone for good now... Ok, I hear you talking... I know she is skating for the Australian team but (big phat she is an African-American but in the room) she is an African-American and Chinese...

Wow...
This is some good stuff...
Check it...
Pres. Obama, if you looking for an example of a man who followed his moral character and gave us change we are still believing in...

" LBJ had indeed Canteloupe-sized Balls... and the fact that with the stroke of a pen LBJ hopelessly lost his party about half the country -- impolitely put, the former Confederacy -- makes one wonder that all this talk about being a "conservative" may actually hide something much less savory than that quite anodyne word indicates..." http://www.metafilter.com/65031/The-niggers-are-coming

Through-out history Presidents have had to stand on their own convictions, often time alone, to do what they believe to be right... In the following quote you will here from the words of Lady Bird Johnson about how her husband was treated for as the previous writer stated with the stroke of a pen - "Changed America" forever...

"He (LBJ) threw himself into a bold domestic agenda he dubbed the Great Society that included Medicare, a war on poverty, civil rights and the environment..."
"The law, the most sweeping civil rights bill since Reconstruction, outlawed discrimination based on "race, color, religion, or national origin" in public establishments..."

"As her tour moved farther south into South Carolina, protesters turned more hostile, confronting her with placards deriding her as a "Black Bird" and screaming, "Lyndon Johnson is a Communist, Johnson is a Nigger-lover." At each stop Lady Bird listened to the chants and then asked for people to listen to her..." http://www.pbs.org/ladybird/epicenter/epicenter_index.html

Wow...
This is some really exciting stuff...
So Pres. Obama, we the people of the US(A) expect the same tenacity, conviction, and moral character from you... As with LBJ, many may not understand your positions, but (big phat-canteloupe-size balls but in the room) you need to take a position from the "LBJ" fruit stand... Just as the Southerns who opposed LBJ did back then, so shall these conservative do today, but ( big phat they will get over it but in the room) they will get over it...
Need I say more???

There are several "Cultural controversies" on the horizon, so let tackle them on at a time...
Check It:
Shani Davis is the "Jesse Owens" of the winter olympics whether NBC gives him the red light or not... Shani eased into the history books by not only being the first American to win two golds in the his event; he is the first African-American to win any medal in the winter olympics...
Now that's a "BIG WOW!!!"
I hope the so black radio shows ( who are the only voice in the black community) will give this great man his props...
We will see...
One quick note... Culturally Speaking, slavery has caused black to be jealous and non appreciative of the successes of fellow black in our community... Unlike all other races who praise the success of their own freely without any jealousy... This is something that we as a people must get out of our D-N-A... Culturally, it is not apart of our roots... We as a person are loving, caring, and sharing... It has been the horrors of slavery that caused us to be so selfish... I aint hating; just making a cultural observation...
Wow...
This is some good stuff... Ok, is the "Black woman the problem???" As most of you know, I have written many a post on this subject... I found this interesting blog from another black man who agree with me on this subject... I hope he writes a book because he is on to something... http://shakaama.blogspot.com/2009/12/black-women-are-problem-with-black-men.html
Let me say, I am not hating; just making an observation of the huge "Cultural controversy" that is presently destroying the black community...
Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...
Now lets talk "Tiger" for a minute...
So Tiger is going to speak out today after being silent for three months... Culturally Speaking, for most in the black community, Tiger spoke out loud and clear when he married a nannie from "who knows where" years ago... That said, "Tiger really does not have to apologize to no-one as a result of his actions..." Actually, as one of the great athletes said, "Everyone figured that the billionaire athlete was screwing like a maniac from the git-go..." I guess the only surprize here is that his wife was surprized at this revelation... It seems that she was the only one with her head in the sand or is there something else behind her missing in action behavior...
Well, Let's break it down...
Wow, did you know that Elin was an Identical Twin...
If anyone knows anything about identicals (and I should because I am an Identical twin) they are often closer than anyone can imagine... They cover for each other to death and will switch places with each other even with their romantic encounters... So was Tiger always with Elin or were there times when he was with her twin and did not have a clue... Ok, I can hear you talking, but (big fat food for thought but in the room) that is the only explanation that can explain why it was that she, Elin-Twin-Elin, did not have a clue of her husbands many affairs... And guess what; there is no way Tiger would have known except by her behavior... Twins can act just like each other but (big phat they can not act forever) they are not each other... Also Identicals have the same D-N-A which mean that Elin-1 could have had the first child and Elin-2 could have had the second baby; with both babies being genetically brothers and sisters...
Wow...
Now that's some deep "Twin-stuff!!!"
Tiger could take a line from three really smart people's play books: Ms. O, The Don, and David Letterman... "Ms O" made this comment on her show recently (not necessarily referring to Tiger), "The one with the gold rules..." The Don said this on Larry King when asked about the Tiger situation, "Maybe Tiger should be the bad guy for a while..." Larry King even had on the ultimate "Bad Boy - Rodman" as an example of what the a bad-boy looks likes like... And lastly, David Letterman said last night, "Tiger has a little ways to go to catch up with him in apologies..."

Wow...

Ok, enough of all these "Cultural Controversies..." The Toyota fiasco is very serious but (big phat Pres. Obama but in the room) Pres. Obama is in the "Driver's Seat" of a "Run Away" Congress!!!" Wow... This is some really serious stuff... So what is the Pres to do??? Well, he could take a line from the Toyota's "New" owner's manual, "Press on the Brakes really hard, Shift to neutral, and turn it off..." I believe that is some good advice... I aint no "Economist" but (big phat average john but in the room) I am a scientist of observation and to me the solution is just that simple... Let's break it down...
Mr. Pres., to stop the run away Congress, you must first put on the brakes... What do I mean by this... The do nothing congress is out of control therefore you must use your executive powers to get them back in line... "Put the brakes on!!!"
The next thing you should do is "Shift-to-neutral!!!"
As the President of the Of These United States you should take a more neutral position and neutralize the congress by exerting the all the powers of your office... One thing you can do is use the government that already exist to drive down prices across the spectrum...
The private sector is out of control because there is no competition out there... The government should be the competition for all the suffering poor people out here...

Wow...
If Walmart can buy cheap drugs then so can the government... During the Depression, the government supplied the needs of those that could not provide them for themselves... My aunt had a "county-pin" which her family received from the "government health dept" during the depression... And speaking of the "Health Dept.;" it is the heath dept. where we all when for cheap medical help and it is the health dept where all poor people and immigrants should go today... The government can fund the health dept. and drive medical cost down... Why is every one and their brother on medicare??? In Europe they have the equivalent of the Health Dept. and the party of "No" calls it socialism... I call it health assurance (no mis-spell)... This is the best way to drive health cost down and cause the private sector to listen... It

The next thing is to drive fuel cost down... Mr. Pres. you can do this the same way - by doing what the DOD does in Europe for American citizen - "sell fuel vouchers..." I lived in Germany for several years and fuel on the economy for over four dollars a gallon... I could by vouchers to use at the pump which reduced the cost down to less than a dollar... Everything in our economy is inflated... Mr. Pres. you can deflate this over-flated economy by turn off the vehicle... Everyone who want to continue using the private sector and can afford it will... For all of us who cannot afford the convenience of doing that will have to use the government system...

Wow...

This is some exciting stufff...
Do you feel me...
I know you do...

2010-02-17T12:02:00.002-05:00

Wow...

This is some exciting stuff and it keep getting more exciting everyday...
Let me start with a "Cultural Controversy" that could have a big adverse effect on the black community...

Pres. Obama; "To "Breastfeed" or not to "Breastfeed;" that is the question???""

Is the problem with families in the black community, "A black woman thang???" I was listening to the TJMS this morning when my "frat bro" - Roland Martin - rehashed a dialogue with a Doctor from yesterday's show... The Doc. basically said, it is very beneficial for black women to breastfeed our black children. The Doc. pointed out that there were some great health benefits for the black women and our children... Apparently this segment got a lot of press yesterday, so Roland brought the Doc. back to answer more questions today...
It was a very informative segment but (first big - could black women be the problem with the decay of the black family - but in the room) Sybil was obviously disturbed by the Doc.'s recommendation... It seem that she was upset that the Doc. was trying to give good health advise to our community that could improve the life of our children as well as black women themselves... I found this very disturbing... It is a trend that occurs whenever black women are asked to do what only a woman can do for our community...

"Are black women the problem with the decay in the black community??? "

Wow...
Culturally Speaking, Black women breastfed their children of birth as well as many other children throughout history... There is a very familiar scripture in the bible that says after Ruth gave birth, "And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it..."

The act of breastfeeding was once the most precious gift a woman could give to her children; which made us strong and healthy... As blacks struggled to overcome racism, it was the black woman who made a home a sanctuary for her family... She took pride in feeding the entire family and sometimes the neighborhood... So why are so many black women becoming so hardened against the act of breastfeeding; when it is something only they can do ???
Hummmmm???
I listen to black women bash black men for all the negatives that they and society often times unjustly hurl at us... This Doc. made the case that if black women would breastfeed - our children would get benefits - that could alleviate a lot of the health risk which greatly affect our community today... The Doc. also made the point, that breastfeeding reduces the chance of the black mother experiencing postpartum depression among other things... One objection that Sybil brought up was "sagging breast..." The Doc. quickly dismissed this point by pointing out that women who have "never" breastfed have sagging breast... The question is what is more important - "the health of our children or sagging breast???" I have often noticed that the black community has had an increase of youth that are taking on a homosexual lifestyle... Could this "phenom" actually be a result of the fact that black women don't breastfeed our children and our children are not getting the "nectar of the Gods" that only she can deliver... Also could the high rate of black juvenile diabetes and juvenile obesity be a direct result of black women not breast-feeding our children???
"God forbid..."
I met a young black woman in the dentist office a few years back - yes that is how long it has been since I have seen a black woman who breastfed... This beautiful young black woman was sounding the "joys" of breastfeeding to all in the office... She said that this was the one gift that only she could give to her child... The other black women in the office were making comments like; "I don't know how you do it, doesn't it hurt, and what does your husband think about it..." She smiled and said, "my husband loves it..." She then said, "besides we use to breastfeed because it was what women did in our community and we knew it was best for our children???" The other women agreed but (a big I know you are right but in the room) still did not seem to like the idea...
This is a crucial issue...
Has our newly acquired civil rights as a people caused us to turn our backs on the very things that made us strong...
Hummmmmmmmmm!!!
So "have black women dropped the ball again" in our community???
Who truly knows, but (big phat what we do know but in the room) we do know that "breast-r-best" for our children and our community...
Do you feel me???
I hope so...

Wow...

So lets turn the page here and ask another important question,

"Who is "Shani Davis???"

How is it that this young superstar athlete is the winter olympics "Invisible Man???" Shani Davis is the "Jesse Owens" of the Winter Olympics... An article in the New York Times entitled: ..."The Trailblazer - Shani Davis, on the Edge;" makes the case that Shani Davis is the quintessential man when it comes to "speed skating and perfection" on the ice... A quote from this article highlights one of Shani's fans appreciation of his achievements:

"A young Canadian skater, Anastasia Bucsis, stood at the turn with a cluster of competitors, all of them watching intently as Davis blew by. I asked what in particular she was focused on. “Everything,” she said. “Shani is the prototype. He’s as efficient as it is humanly possible to be.”

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff???
How is it that I have not seen anything at all about "Shani Davis" during this Olympics???
Is Shani Davis "the Invisible man" or what???
Has Shani Davis been "black balled" or something???
What is really going on???
The "first black man" to hold a record in the Winter Olympics is only getting "Luv" from the "Dutch..." "What is really going on???"
I aint feeling this kind "selective of coverage" of the Winter Olympics by NBC... I, among many other, want to see this modern-day "Jesse Owens" compete...
I hope you feel me...

Wow...

You know I like to keep it interesting... The Doc. on the TJMS suggested that the honorable first lady - Michelle Obama - could use her position to promote "Breastfeeding" in the black community... I feel that is an issue that has great baring on the Health insurance package... The Doc. pointed out that the "simple act of Breastfeeding" could single-handedly alleviate several diseases that are on the rise in the black community... As an advocate for reducing the high cost of health care for all Americans through preventative medicine, one would think that the first lady would make this topic a top priority on her list of things to implement...
Wow...
Who Knows, Shani Davis could have been a "Breastfed Baby..."
Lets see if "Black Women" will be on board with the first lady on this most important issue???
I don't know...
We will see...
It is going to be interesting to see...

Wow...

Do you feel me???
I know you do...

"Pres. Obama: "Who is "Shani Davis???"""

"

"Pres. Obama: "Going Gangsta or Going Roosevelt???""

2010-02-11T18:26:00.002-05:00

Wow...

This is some exciting stuff...
Let's get right at it... I usually start with something a little light then to the hard stuff, but (first big but in the room) I must take this one head on... I am sure most of you have already heard what Roland said... If you did not, please allow me to bring you up to date... Roland S. Martin, CNN Political Analyst, said in his CNN Blog,

"Time for Obama to go 'gangsta' on GOP"...

Wow...
Come on...Roland...
You are a frat, but (a big phat what are you thinking but in the room) what are you thinking, bro...
I believe that this is just the kind of language that the Reps would love to hear from the Obama Camp... This kind of language would make their point that Pres. obama is a one-sided President who is not for all the citizens of America... Besides, this isn't who Pres. Obama is - it sound so out of character for the President...

So what is Roland trying to do???
If he is trying to get a rise out of it, he did...
So Roland, " lighten up man... "
Gangstas go to jail... Dahhhhhhh!!!
Actually I would have perferred to hear Roland tell us more about what went on at the "White House" yesterday with the meeting between Pres. Obama and the "Civil Rights leaders..." I am sure we all want to know what the President is going to do about the massive unemployment in the black community...
I believe Roland should use this incredible spotlight to rally "people of color" to do more in our own community for our own, so that whatever the government contributes is an added plus... That is just my spill on the matter...
Do you feel me...
I hope you do...

Wow...
Now to address the same issue of how the President should handle the GOP, one does not have to look hard in history to find a great example...
I believe that Pres. Obama should

"Go Roosevelt" on the "GOP..."

I am sure we all are familiar with the tenacity and vigor that Teddy governed with...
Teddy's motto was "Speak softly and carry a big stick"....
Now this is more of Pres. Obama's style...
Culturally speaking, few black people in power are able to govern without at some point using the "ghetto style" behavior... It is always expected by the other side to see how long a brother can go before he forgets and regress... Pres. Obama has built his political career based upon his color-blind approach to everything he does...
This is a large part of his appeal...
Therefore, I am sure Pres. Obama will not go "Gangsta" on anyone, especially not the GOP... One thing is for sure, that Pres. Obama is no push over... One thing about being President is that you get to see things from a very high perch...
So, yes Pres. Obama has to get tougher on the entire Congress and especially the DEMS,
but (Big phat "NO - NO" but in the room) Going Gangsta" is not the answer...

Wow...

Do you feel me???
I am sure you do...
Let me hear you say, "Yes yes we can..."
Ok, really quick, you know I like to lighten things up a little so here is goes... I saw Roland live here at NC A&T SU...
I was impressed at his ability to speak without writing a word down... He spoke at this HBCU whose mascott is the same ass his Alma Moda, "Aggies!!!"
"Aggie Pride..."
Yes, as I said before, he is my frat brother - "06..."
But ( big phat what was Roland thinking but in the room) Roland had the Audacity to ask all the minister and pastors to stand up and basically "Dared them to sat down until he was finish lecturing them...
"What???"
Yes, he did...
On several occasion several tried to slip down in their seats and Roland would bark at them like a "DP..." Then he lectured to them for twenty minutes.... Wow... I bet you the next time he ask the clergy to stand there will be several that will not...
I was in the back of the cracking up while some the older ones were itching to sit down... :)
I must admit that what he told them was valuable, it was just how he handled them is what was surprizing...
Roland went "Gangsta on them..."
Hummmmm!!!!
Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...
I know you feel me on this...

"Pres. Obama: "Going Gangsta or Going Roosevelt???""

“Pres. Obama: “The Audacity of the “Civil Rights” Elders!!!””

2010-02-03T13:19:00.002-05:00

“Pres. Obama: “The Audacity of the “Civil Rights” Elders!!!”"
Wow…

This stuff just keeps getting more and more exciting everyday… Let me start by saying, “Hats off to Pres. Obama” on many fronts: 1- Openly speaking to the Republican Party on Friday… Opsss, the cat is out of the bag now… I guess those guys can’t “throw a rock and hide a hand” any more…
2-His speaking openly to the Democratic Party today… Now these guys will have to explain to all of us how is it that you are the majority and can’t get anything done… Dahhhhhhh???
3-The way he and his administration have handled the “Christmas Day Terrorist Bombing” Suspect… It appears that by interrogation him in a civilian court and encouraging his family to take part, it has been very effective in getting valuable information to divert any future attacks…

For all your great work Mr. Pres., we say, “Bravo!!!”

Wow…

So let’s get right at it: Due to a very serious fall, I was unable to get around very well for the last week… I said that to say this, I did not get to attend any of the “Civil Rights Museum” celebration in Greensboro NC this past week… My heart was there and thank God the NC A&T Register was there… Therefore a lot of the information I will use in this blog comes from the article “Panelists discuss the current state of civil rights,” by Ashley Reid – Copy Editor of the A&T Register… I was drawn to a quote by Dr. Julianne Malveaux – Pres. of Bennett College…

“Malveaux said it is the job of her generation and those who consider themselves to be ”Elders” to reinforce the notion of Audacity.”

Wow… This is some great stuff… What made this statement so powerful was the fact that her fellow panelist were the Rev. Jesse Jackson of Rainbow Push, Dr. Ben Chavis - CEO of the Hip Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN), Dr. Harold Martin – Chancellor of NC A&T SU, and Ms Kim Sanders – CEO of M&F Bancorp Inc…
An Elder States-lady, Mrs. Anna Swanston - the author of Dr. John Henry Clarke: His Life, His Words, His Work – said to me a few years ago that the civil rights struggle is not over; it’s just that it’s “Elders” are asleep… At the time I could not get a grip of this profound statement… Dr. Malveaux has a similar understanding of the state of civil rights… Unlike those who started the movement, today’s so-called elders lack true passion and commitment to the cause of total civil rights… Culturally Speaking, when a people struggle for their rights of equality often are side tracked by the “dainties” of the king instead of the entire “Kitchen…”

Dr. Malveaux's statement shines a very bright light onto several members of the Panel… I believe that panelist like Dr. Ben Chavis should be one of those “Elders” she was referring to… I believe Dr. Chavis could not only make great speeches but (first big phat but in the room) could use his influence to rally the “hip hop and black athletic community” to start a “black economical venture explosion…” We as a people can no longer blame “White” people for the lack of economical opportunities in our community when for at least a decade “Millions of dollars” have flowed freely into these communities that has not found their way down to the rest of us… Ok, I can hear you yelling… I am not saying that they should give their money away, but (big phat trickle down business opportunity but in the room) together they can create a “Black Wall Street…” Dahhhhhhhhhh!!!

Wow…

I wrote a blog called “The Audacity of the House Niggers!!!” This blog was about this very issue… How the elders of the civil rights movement are not stepping up to the plate to “knock” we as a people in… The same goes for the Rev. Jesse Jackson who said, “Jackson closed out the discussion reminding the audience to become knowledgeable for themselves…” What the hell did that mean??? Here we have a true “Elder Civil Rights leader” who seems to be so disconnected with the needs of our community that he says would something as “valueless” as that… I am sure we all remember what Rev. Jackson said during the “Obama” campaign… Need I say more???

If this is the generation following “generation X,” who no one would dispute, has not done must to further the cause of anything – much less civil rights… Then the question remains, is it because the Elders refuse to take their place, pass on the Knowledge learned, and commission new leaders into the struggle… These aint the sixties, these be the generation next…

This generation, like those before it, need for the elders to take their rightful place and do something “tangible” to encourage new frontiers in the civil right movement… I am sure everybody knows that the black community is in a domestic crisis… Domestically we as a people have the most single parent families in the nation… This has a direct reflection on our children who suffer from a lack of confidence, high crime involvement, and most cases – poor life chances…
Also we as a people own very little to no real estate… This is a real problem for our community… True power is ownership and I don’t mean just a personal resident… We need to fight for ownership of hotels and gas stations and restaurants like we did forty years ago… This is a true domestic crisis…
So the need of our elders to get actively involve is – Paramount…

Dr. Malveaux – we as a people “salute” you and your efforts as an elder to this generation… I hope that many other civil rights elders will wake up and take their rightful place to fill the void in our communities…

Wow…

This is some exciting stuff…
As most of you know that I like to keep it interesting; I would never hope for the Rev. Jesse Jackson what he wished for Pres. Obama during his campaign but (big oppss but in the room) it seems like that’s what is going on with him… The Rev. Jackson has been impotent as a leader to this generation for over a decade…
Why has this happen???
Why did he say what he said about Pres. Obama???
I don’t know the answer to these questions but (big phat you aint dead but in the room) there is no time like the present for the Rev. Jackson to get tangibly effectively involved… I am sure that all the graduates from the HBCU’s all across this country would appreciate a job from a “black small business” that is Funded by a black organization called “Black Wall Street…” So if the Rev Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH, teams up with Dr. Chavis – Hip Hop Summit – then maybe this could happen…

Wow…

Elders stepping up!!!

Do you feel me???

I know you do…

Let me here you say, “Yes, yes, yes we can!!!

“Pres. Obama: “The Audacity of the “Civil Rights” Elders!!!””

"Pres. Obama: No More "Mr. Nice Guy!!!""

2010-01-29T11:47:00.002-05:00

Wow...

This present political environment is some very exciting stuff... :)

Let me say that Pres. Obama did what he does best as he presented the "State of The Union" address - "Turned on the Charm!!!"
He gave me that "warm and fuzzy" feeling again...
Man that really did feel good...
Check it: From the sound of Pres. Obama tone he has taken up a new lease on life - "No more Mr. nice guy!!!"
Culturally Speaking, Pres. Obama is a "Come lately" but (first big but in the room) like LBJ - better late than never!!!

The first example his new lease was seen with his starch rebuke of the Supreme Court Justices on the Campaign finance ruling lately...
The quote from the speech:
"With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests -- including foreign corporations -- to spend without limit in our elections," Obama told a packed House of Representatives chamber Wednesday night.

This type of open rebuke is the number one trait of a true leader... Pres. Obama has tried to be too much liked by both sides even to his own detriment... Now he has finally realized that he will never satisfy everyone all the time so "
Lead he must do!!!"
Pres. Obama does not have the be an "Apologetic Bipartisan Unifier" for history's sake because history is own his side... He only has to do as all those that came before him do the job "We as people" voting him in to do... What is that job - take care of all of US(A) as he would his own...
That is pretty simple...
Yes, it is going to be hard but (another big but in the room) he is the man up for the challenge...

Wow...

Now I am not going to do what a lady who called into the TJMS yesterday did when she made the statement, "Pres. Obama should do more..." When Thom asked her "what is the more he should do?" she had no answer... Wow... Roland Martin talked with William Darity, Arts & Sciences Professor of Public Policy, Professor of African and African-American Studies and Economics and Secondary Appointment of Economics at Duke University, about what the Pres. should do to turn this economy around... Dr. Darity's answer was the best answer I have heard from anyone on this subject which I hope the Pres. heard... Dr. Darity said that the President should implement a government funded work program for all Americans...
This is what I need as an American citizen, a guaranteed government job...
Wow...
This is some good stuff...
Can you feel me...
I Know you do...

You guys know that at times I like to keep it interesting so here goes... What if the President stepped out on a limb and implemented this "government guaranteed work program for all Americans..." Would the Congress support it??? I dare say no...
Should he do it???
I say yes...

Do you feel me???
I hope you do...

"Pres. Obama: No more "Mr. Nice Guy!!!""

"Pres. Obama: The Audacity of "Careful Urgency!!!""

2010-01-27T10:36:00.002-05:00

Wow...

This is some great stuff...
Let's get right at it...
So now is the day for the State of the Union" address by this First African American President in the History of this country... History is on this "black man's" side because he is charting new territory and I think he gets that... The one thing that is most important for his speech tonight is his honesty to "We the People!!!" That is the one virtue that made Obama the candidate the perferred choice over all the rest - we the people believed him... Ok he has not be able to deliver on several of the promises he put forth in the campaign and there are several reasons why, but Pres. Obama must let US(A) feel that he has worked tirelessly trying to do the peoples business...

Wow...
Culturally Speaking, Charles Shultz once used the phrase "Careful Urgency" to describe the situation we faced as a nation in the early Nuclear buildup of nation... I believe this phrase is very applicable now as a result of the economic situation we are in presently... Pres. Obama came into this office with this understanding thus the mantra - "Yes We Can!!!" He must remind the American people not to think like "Humpty Dumpy" because no one can do anything by ones self it always takes the help of someone else...
He must get US(A) all back to the "Yes We Can" feeling of the "Audacity of Hope and Virtue..."
This is what cause all of us to believe that we could change our nation for the better... Pres. Obama must remind US(A) that now it is the "Audacity of Carefull Urgency" that will get US(A) through this - And through this we will...

Wow...
Can you feel me???
Say "yes yes yes we can!!!"
"Pres. Obama: The Audacity of "Careful Urgency!!!""

"Pres. Obama: "Meet the Browns!!!""

2010-01-24T05:48:00.000-05:00

Wow...

This is some exciting stuff...
Let's get right at it... First please allow me to say that CNN has done an excellent job with round the clock coverage of the "Haiti crisis... " Even Solidad found her "Soul Sista" in this story... I know it had to be very hard to report this kind of human suffering and dismay, but ( first big phat but in the room) your staff did it with excellence and grace... For this CNN, "We Salute you!!!" Now get Anderson out of there... He deserves some "R&R" at a ski lodge in Colorado... :)

Secondly, how is it that all these "whiners" are stealling all the headlines when the true facts are that this nation is rebounding with leaps and bounds... Ok, lemme see; "SPoil Kids" get their way... God forbid... Pres. Obama when these spoil kids act out, put them in "Time out!!!" "We" the people of these United States of America, have a nation to re-build...

And thirdly, Mr. President, If I have said this once I have said it a thousand times - "Tax the Church..." Check it: The Churches of this nation are acting more like corporations and political groups than a sancuary, therefore they should pay taxes like all the rest of US(A)... The solution to all of our financial problem is the taxation of the church... The church is not doing it's job of taking care of the poor and homeless; so tax them and balance the budget... That's my take on it...

Wow...
It really felt good to get that off my chest... So let's get to the most exciting news of the week... "Pres. Obama, "Meet the Browns..."" (No pun intended...) Let me say that it is always a good thing when new blood enters politics; you get tired of chewing on the same folks over and over again... The "Reps" are always trying to duplicate an "original..." It's sorta like bootleg DVD's... The cover always looks good but (big phat copyright infrang but in the room) the content is obstructed and mostly out of focus...
Mr. Brown has a lot to learn and I am sure you Mr. President will help him get off to a really good start... Where is Sarah when you need her...
Need I say more...
I did not think so...

Wow...
SOme really good stuff...
Huhhhhhh???
So whats up with all the hating on the "Big Three" these days... It must be racism at it's highest peak... Our great nation has been run by old white men for centuries and no-one was hating... Ok maybe they didn't like some their policies but ( big hating on the minorities but in the room) there was not outright racism toward them... Now that the "Old White Boys' Club" has put US(A) on welfare we elect a black man and two old white women (big three) to get US(A) out; yet the "OWBC" members are hating...
Whats up???
Are they afraid that the majority of this nation will make them look bad so they got to be hating??? Or is it that they just would rather keep that "White House Nigger" in the "Field" and the two " old White Women" in "Kitchen???"
"What is that about...
When "Bush" was in charge of the "OWBC," he got what he wanted by "hook or crook" and no-one was hating on him... By the way, that is why we are in the situation we are in now... Now that Pres. Obama - a black and two white female senior citizens are in charge we have race, age, and gender discrimination toward the "Big Three!!!" That should be a offence to every senior citizen, black, and female in the nation... I am not hating, just making an observation... We have only been through one year and racist right are calling a names...
Shame, shame, shame... It seems that the rest of the world understands the teasure we have in these three highly respected leaders and are willing to give them a fair break... Rightly so because between them there is more education in the room than most corporate boards... Cant say that about the last "OWBC" members...

Wow... Ok no racist remarks toward me because I don't have to be politically correct... Do you feel me???
I know you do...

"Pres. Obama: "Meet the Browns!!!""

"Pres. Obama: The Audacity of "Hope and Virtue!!!""

2010-01-24T04:06:00.000-05:00

Wow...
There is a lot of stuff we need to address, so let's get right at it...
First of all, somebody need to tell CNN that "Anderson Cooper" is in to deep and he should be brought home ASAP... There is lots of death all around him and after a while it will began to affect him in a harmful way... It is time for some R&R and counselling for him... That is my take on it...

Secondly, Obama has really done a super job with the quake response... I believe that because he has been so out front on this event, lives were saved... To you Mr. President, we say, "Bravo!!!" It is now time for the Haitians to take charge of their situation as soon as possible...

Wow...

This stuff just keeps getting more and more exciting everyday...
Culturally Speaking, we could not be alive in a more fascinating and culturally exciting time in history than this...
Wow...
So now lets talk about this one year anniversary of the "Obama Phenom..." What grade does he get for all his work and efforts???
Culturally Speaking, He has superceded most, if not all, of his predecessors...

Yes, there are wars, quakes, economical struggles, and terrorist at large on every hand but (wow, first big but in the room) "these still be some exciting times..." So today as I reflect on a hard troded year of a first term/first time African-American President, I reflect back to a day one year ago... I reflect because reflection is the evidence of what our expectations are built upon... So now today, one year later, where are we "Culturally???"

Culturally Speaking, we are better today than we were one year ago... I dare say that it is not for the "weak" to be the judge of a years' performance... No it is not even for the "strongest of the strong" to judge our advancement today... No, no - I say it is US(A) who carry that burden of passing judgement on a years' time of work...
Where have we come and from where are we destined to go... If the question leads us to reflect then we are in the right place ... If the question causes us to be disdained then we are "the we" who choose to be part of the problem rather the solution... If the answer to the question leads us to say, things have not change and hope has dwindled, then we are the strong and would see thing the same way regardless of its actual truths...

So "Culturally Speaking" we are better today than a year ago because we are "Conversing!!!" We are conversing with the left, the right, the old, the young, and all that don't look like we do... So as we reflect, let us ask ourselves a question: "what have we done to progress this nation to it's place of prosperity and nobility???"

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjnygQ02aW4]

Wow...
As I listen to the speech of a year ago from the First African-American man to ever take the helm of this great nation as President; I say "We the people have not done enough..." We have not firmly grabbed hold of the "hope" that this energetic man so easy secure; "we must do more..." It is up to all of US(A) to stand up and be accounted for the "hopes and virtues" that we so easily proclaim that we believe in...

If one ask me how has Obama done in his first year in office, I would have to say that the man did what he said he would do in his inauguration speech... "What have we done- is the question???"
I still say to Pres. Obama these things:
Pres. Obama, let the "Nay-sayers - Nay!!!" Mr President, "let the "Whiners" whine... This nations, to some degree has lost it's soul and has become a nation of "Whiners!!!" I believe that LBJ respected MLK because MLK did not 'whine..." Men of WWI, WWII, and Viet Nom were not whiners but their babies are...
So Pres. Obama, stay the course... For history has record the plight of the likes of Christopher Columbus when all seem lost, he stayed the course...
Pres. Obama, keep the wind to your back... And when the winds die down and they will; keep your ship headed in the right direction... The winds will come again because they always do...
Pres. Obama, keep your eyes fixed on the goals which you layed out in your inaugural speech for that is the "hope and virtue" we are all looking for...

Wow...

So one year is gone and we are still here but (yes another big but in the room) we are better than we were last year because we have "hope..."
No-one can deny that President Obama stopped the bleeding and has stablized this patient - America... And most importantly, the patient has started to breath on her own; she has color back in her face; and by the grace of God, she will be up and running soon...

So what is the state of our Union - better than it was at this time last year...

So again, yes we can...
Do you feel me???
I hope you do...

"Pres. Obama: The Audacity of "Hope and Virtue!!!""

"Pres. Obama: The Audacity of "Skin Lightener" and a "Harvard Education!!!""

2010-01-10T22:56:00.000-05:00

Wow...

Is this some exciting stuff or what???
Lets get right at it...
Check it: It appears that the Reps leadership has resorted to finger-pointing as an effective way to hedge up their weakened position against the Democratic controlled congress... I have one thing to say, "stick to "stonewalling" - it suit you better...

The book "Game Change," a behind-the-scenes chronicle of the 2008 campaign, said Reid had been "wowed" by Obama and said that the country was ready for a black President, especially one who was "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/01/10/gops-steele-calls-for-reid-to-step-down-as-leader-because-of-ra/

Senator Reid, in Pres. Obama words, probably "Acted Stupidly" but (a big Jim Crow-ley but in the room) certainly not a "racist remark..." Culturally Speaking, Senator Reid's choice of words to describe, then candidate Obama, in terms of his skin tone and dialect; speaks more of his age than his (GOP) assumed racist belief... TJMS fequently refers to African-Americans as "light skin vs dark skin..." This has been the conversation of the African-American community for centuries...

So lets see, instead of a "beer summit" how about the "School Daze" summit... I can see it now, Pres. Obama, Senator Reid, Senator Byrd, and a host of others having popcorn and soda as they view "School Daze" in the "white house theatre..."

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtfEmTHeYNw]

Here is a bit of the "School Daze" Synopsis: As Half-Pint tries unsuccessfully to impress the Gammas with his inept womanizing, Dap engages in philosophical debates with Rachel (Kyme), his girlfriend. Meanwhile, the light-skinned, straight-haired sisters of the Gamma Ray sorority battle it out in a beauty parlor with their darker-skinned, Afro-headed fellow co-eds.

Enough said???
I thought so...

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...
How is it that the Reps are saying there was not a terrorist attack on Bush watch??? That proves that they are incapable to tell the truth when it comes to Pres. Obama...
They are constantly telling untruths and exaggerations of the facts from health care to terror...
It is a matter of ethics...
Above all things, the leaders of our country must be ethical and call a "spade a spade..."
Need I say more???
I did not think so...

Wow...

This week Pres. Obama, stood up and took responsibility for the security failures that lead to a near christmas day disaster... It was an honorable move but not one that should be repeated in the future... Either the people in leadership positions can do their jobs effectively or they should be fired and replaced with someone who can... "Skin lightner and a Harvard education" will not save the Pres.'s hide when an incompetent appointee drops the ball again... If they can't "toe the line" then they should be replaced... Enough said...

Wow...
For the sake of debate, how is it that the Dutch allowed a would be bomber to get on a plane with out luggage and who paid for his ticket with cash and not search him thoroughly??? Do the Dutch have something to do with aiding the terrorist or do we as a nation have enemies in the camp??? The circumstances behind this terrorist attack or almost laughable if it were not so serious... No - one who has ever had anything to do with security could have stood still while this young man boarded an international flight... This is Pres. Obama's "Bay of Pigs..." How he handled the preps from this point forward will be the determining factor whether or not terrorist will continue to try to do us harm...
Here are some ideas how we should attack terrorism as a culture...
1-We should beef up our military to be able to bring overwhelming force to any and all nations who "harbor" terrorist...
2-We should put bounties on all known and suspected terrorist to encourage bounty hunters to hunt them down and turn them in ... Did I say, "Dead or a live???
3-We should declare war on Yemen and take their oil to fund it ...
4-We should run a US flag up in Iraq and take their oil as payment for all the war we have already levied there in "Bush's" name...
5-We should use dogs to find road-side bombs and send thousands in our kennels over to afghan and Iraq to do just that...
Last but not least, we should release thousands camels in Afghanistan and Yemen for the civilians to catch and eat... Full people don't wage war...
Need I say more...
I did not think so...

Wow...

This is some exciting stuff...
Do you feel me???
I hope you do...

Wow...

This is some exciting stuff... I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season... I pray that the you all have been spiritually uplifted with the truth of the real reason for the season... Culturally Speaking - We as a people have become more commercial during this holy season than ever before... So it is my desire that we all get more connected to the "spirit of the season" by giving and being a blessing to others; less fortunate or not... That concludes my sermon for today... :)

Wow...
Now let's get to it...
Check it: "Where is Dr. Phil when you need him??? "
Hey y'all, "Leave Tiger alone..." Tiger is a young man who has a lot to learn about life and relationship... He is a great golfer who has to deal with his present situation just like all the other high-profile person's that have gone through the same thing... The tragedy here is that we as a people have lost the "true understanding" of "matrimony..." If the "Tiger Woods saga" has done any good, it should be that we as a people must do some serious soul-searching about how our "divorce rate" affects us as a "world power..." Hummmmmmmmmmmm!!!
So if "Tiger" is truly a US(A) imposed "Role Model," then it is his responsibility to "lead" us through the drill of "how to recover from a "sand pit!!!"" Tiger has never been able to just think about himself anyway, therefore he can't think that way now... Tiger now must live his life in the public - eye as never before, so that all of us who look up to him can see how a true "Role Model" overcomes adversity... So "Ms O" - the "Everyone is watching Tiger Reality Show" can be your first reality show for your new network... Whether it is "Own" or "NBC," Tiger owes it to US(A) to "live out loud" on national tv in his own reality show - because everyone is watching his life unfold anyway... I believe this will be great therapy for him and great "Reality TV" for all of us drama addicted "Reality TV Junkies..." :) "You know Tiger's divorce from the "richest nanny on the planet" is going to be full of some serious "baby-mama drama" that "TMZ" will be all over..." "Tiger might as well cash in on it too with his own "Reality Show..." This way Tiger can answer all the speculation that will be thick as butter all around him..." I hate to say this but (Big Phat Ghetto but in the room) the "Tiger Wood's Reality Show" could be more "Ghettto" than "Flavor Flav!!!" "It would be like "Flavor Flav" on steroids... "
Imagine the ratings...
Besides, Tiger is going to need all the extra money he can find after this "SGDH" gets through dragging his "RBAWBMD" ass throw the hazards... :) Oh, "SGDH" mean "Swedish Gold Digging Nanny Ho!!!" And "RBAWBMD" mean "Rich Black Athlete With Baby Mama Drama!!!" :)
Now that's my spit on the matter; so lets move own...

Wow...
Hats off to Pres. Obama and the courageous men/women of the Congress, who looked history directly in the face to pass this historical "health insurance bill..."
"It's time has come... "
This is not just a victory for Pres. Obama but (Big "Bravo" But in the Room) for all of US(A) who have been diversely effected in the past, present, and future by the lack of health insurance... To all of you courageous law makers who "put it all on the line" for the good of all of US(A); We the people of the United States of America "Salute You..."
Need I say more???
I didn't think so...

Wow...
Let me quickly address the new "Uncle Sam did not issue you a baby so you should not have one while in a war zone" order... "Wow that was a mouth full..."
"GI - simply means "Government Issue;" everything else is "Contraband..." "
Need I say more... I did not think so...

Wow...

Last but not least; "What does "Pres. Obama" have in common with the "Oriental Angel???"
Dahhhhhh, that is simple -
"They are both "Beyoncé" fans... :)
What???
What???
What were you thinking I was going to say???

Lou Jing was born 20 years ago in Shanghai to a Chinese mother and an African-American father...

According to the article by Emily Chang of CNN, this little angel does not see color; only possibilities... This is a "warm and fuzzy" story about a young Chinese girl of African-American decent, who comes to the realization that she is not different; just special... The story talks about how her friends and family tried to explain to her why her skin was a different color from other Chinese... Some of their reasons were just down right comical... The story of "Little Ms Oriental Angel" should remind all of US(A) that God don't make mistakes... He gives everyone their special looks for the purpose of spreading his love to all mankind... So today, whether you are black and speak fluent "Chinese" or you are white and speak "Ghetto;" in this holiday season, let's just remember we are all God's special children... It sounds like an "Amen" should go there somewhere... Amen!!! :)

Do you feel me???
Say, "Yes!!!
"Yes!!!
Yes, we can!!!"

2009-10-07T06:56:00.004-04:00

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...
Check it...
Let me start off by saying, Pres. Obama is doing as a good a job as to be expected with the heavy weight that he has had to carry to this point... He has taken the challenge like the "young lion" he is and has not looked back... Culturally Speaking, few presidents have come into office with such a load left for them to pick up and even fewer were able to do it with such a "swagger" as Pres. Obama... So to you Sir, I say,
"Bravo!!!"
Now that said, "with all the events going on in our country, our administration has got to find the one string that unfolds the answer to all our so many problems..." I know this is asking a miracle, but (first big but in the room) a miracle it must be... So what are we as people to do??? Culturally Speaking, we must first look back to be able to clearly see the future... The few Pres. that have found themselves in this situation did the same thing; "they firmly secured military personnel and made military actions "secret" information... Secondly, they pumped up a heightened awareness of "Cultural Consciousness" of the arts i.e. during Viet Nam it was "R&B and rocking roll," WWII it was an up-tick in Jazz music, and during WWI it was the ballroom dance crave... Soldier were instructed that their mission was secret and without a need to know, it should not be talked about ever... Some old soldiers today have military secrets that they have never mentioned in over sixty years even though their war has been over for over a half century... Their wives and families remember the dance crave or jazz tone of that day, which was a great balance of powers but (big military secrets but in the room) none remember ever hearing a military secret ...
"Culture is the sure answer for the quick recovery of a patient who has suffered such great trauma as our country has suffered over the last few years... Once the bleeding is stopped, then it is the smooth cultural sounds of a nice tune that the patient will remember when all the healing is done..."
Pres. Obama, promised in his campaign that he would "re-energize" cultural consciousness into our communities... I, as most of you know, am an advocate for "Cultural Consciousness" as a people... By this we will reinvigorate the desire that most of us have to experience cultural awareness of not only our community; others as well... It is culture that survived all of our wars and economical roller coaster rides... It is culture that has broadens the minds of a people causing a wave of creativity and romance to flow over a nation; thus the baby boomer era of the fifties and sixties... We need this new "Consciousness of Culture" as a people today to make it through these rough times without developing a mental problem that could effect us for centuries... LOL!!!
Wow...
This is some exciting stuf...
With all that said, one major cultural problem that everyone is talking about and capitalizing on, is the "Mad Black Woman!!!" I am sure everyone is familiar with the Tyler Perry movies: "Diary of a mad black woman" and in theatres now, "I can do bad all by myself..." The "mad black woman" problem goes much further than that...
Check it: As a black man, I have experienced the "angry black woman" first hand... Our black women are angry by their own admission... This issue became very real to me after I watched this video clip of

(http://www.digtriad.com/news/GMS/article.aspx?storvid=126279&catid=67)

Prof. Miller Lucky Jr.'s response to "Angry Black Women..." I could not agree with him more... But, (Yes big mad black woman but in the room) I did not want to just depend on my opinion or the view points of Prof. Miller Lucky Jr., so I asked several black women their opinions... I was surprized at their immediate responses and ruthless honesty to the question ... They agreed, with the fact that "Black Women are Angry," except they differed greatly in their opinions as to why... My unofficial survey was answered by black women from every walk of life and the common thread was exactly what Prof. Miller Lucky Jr. had stated, "Communications!!!" Black women are very vocal, which is the one thing that most times turn black men off; therefore they retreat...
Yes, black men have our issues too, i.e. high unemployment, racial profiling leading to more of us often in jail, and of course baby mama drama... But Black women have a way of vocalizing the problems that a black man knows oh so well and does not want to be reminded of everyday by a "Mad Black Woman..." Most of the responses I received, started off outlining all these things about a black man in only a way a "Mad Black Woman" could; underneath all of this though, most still wanted a black man in their life... So Prof. Lucky Jr. is right that black women are angry, but (another big black but in the room) is communications the reason why a black women "aint got no man???"
Wow...
This is some exciting stuff... Now you may say, what does all this have to do with US(a) as a people... Well, one could look at the temperament of "Black Women" as a barometer of the "Cultural Climate" of our country... I feel that it is the lack of "culture" that has caused "US(A)" most, if not all, of our problems as a nation over the last forty years... For some, like Tyler Perry, this barometer is a commercial gold mine; yet "Culturally Speaking" it could be a political mine field... I feel that black women are just expressing their dismay of how bad our economy really is which is spilling over into their personal relationships... Black women are the political ticker that if left unchecked will effect the entire community because black women's voices will eventually become women's voices, which is the majority voice of our nation... Black women by their own admission are angry and demand to be heard or we all will experience the consequences... Tyler Perry has connected with this anger and in his film has tried, I believe to give them a voice... I believe the only problem with his approach, other than he is getting rich exploiting a very serious problem among black women; is that black women leave the movie without an "outlet to let it out" if you can feel me on this...
If Mr. Perry would take Prof. Lucky Jr.s observation and give black women an outlet to "let it out," the drop in temporary could greatly affect global warming... LOL!!! (Sorry ladies and gentlemen, you know I had to go there... :) ) But (big phat angry black women need to talk but in the room) I am serious about the need for us to connect on a "Culturally Conscious" level where we can freely, openly, and honestly; get a chance to converse... It will take some training for most of us to learn how to effective communicate as Prof. Lucky Jr. stated in his piece, which I believe is much needed... So let's hope the Tyler Perry's and the Prof. Lucky's and the Wendy Williams's and all those with a platform that can allow "Mad Black Women" to vent; will let them "Let it out!!!"
I guess we will have to wait and see but (the last big mad black but in the room) this problem unaddressed will not go away... Hmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
Wow...
Can you feel me???
I know you can???
Let me hear you say, "Yes, yes, yes we can!!!"

"Pres. Obama: "The Psychology of Beer!!!""

2009-07-29T13:08:00.003-04:00

Wow...
This is some really exciting stuff...
So the hottest topic on the net right now is the Pres. meeting with the Professor and the Policeman over a Beer... The Pres. calls this a teachable moment... I guess a lot of people are questioning

- "who is doing the teaching???"
Or "what is on the lesson plan???"
Or "who will grade the final test???"
All of this is barley for the critics to chew on for days,but (big phat what's in a beer but in the room) what does it mean for the rest of US(A)???

Culturally Speaking, we as a people have always been willing to sit down and talk out our differences, but (another big fat talk is cheap but in the room) nothing has ever come from it... In these situations where it is obvious to US that we have been wronged over and over again, talk is not an end all... If Dr. King had sat down with the bus company over a beer what would have come of it - they would have labelled him a drunkard... I am afraid this is the only thing that will come out of this little sit - down as well...

Pres. Obama is a true African American and can really relate to both sides... He can refer to his grand father who probably drank bud and then he can relate to his father who probably drank an Ale... Either way, what is the psychology of a beer??? I guess we will have to wait and see...

I will say this,

"the only teacher in this situation is Professor Gates...

This is his "Rosa Parks" moment in the black community... We as a people have suffered at the hand of "the white racist law enforcement officers" throughout our history... It will take more than a "beer" to set this straight, it will take policy... If Professor Gates, "SKIP" this opportunity to stand up for the rest of US(A) who are profiled everyday, he will have let us all down... Most people I have spoken with about this situation, believe that the police officer "Jim Crow-ley" acted inappropriate... There was something else at play here than him just doing his job... Doing his job would have been "determining" who this person was that had entered into this house... Once that was done with the review of the perps identification, his job was over... Professor Gates did not invite or call the law, therefore he did not have to be nice... It is not against any law to be "rude..." If that was the case "Jim Crow-ley" would have to arrest everybody in America because everybody is rude at time... If "Jim Crow-ley" wanted Professor Gates to be entertaining (dance like steppin-fetche) he was "Crowing" up the wrong tree...

If is obvious that Professor Gates was not feeling officer " JIM CROW-ley..."
I wonder why; could it be something to do with his name???
"JIM CROW-ley..."
"Hummmmmmm!!!"

Professor Gates, has the opportunity to teach several lessons here to all of us...
One - "we have a right to be rude in our own home..."
Two - "If you are not invited in to my home, stay at the door..."
Three - "If you want me to entertain you (Police Officer), Forget it, the days of dancing for your approval are over..."
Four - "Because there are still racist police officers out there, we need policy to give structured guidelines against racial profiling..."
Five - "And finally, Enough is Enough!!! We will not wait for the next policeman to kill another black man in the name of Law Enforcement... You can't drop the charges on a dead man...

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...
There is a saying, "If a tree falls in the forest, and there is no one around to hear it; does it make any noise???"
This situation is the "tree..."
Professor Gates is the only one around to hear it...
Police Officer "Jim Crow-ley" is the man holding the ax...

Did this situation make any Noise???
We were not there, but (big phat a deaf man could hear that but in the room) via the Internet "every African American male" heard it "Loud and Clear" around the world...
This is where the "facts speak for themselves!!!"
It is time now for all of our so-called black leaders to stand-up and make the case for the rest of US(A)...
Check it: There should be some talking going on all over this nation about this systemic problem of "racial profiling..." And more importantly, the conversation - whether over a beer or a cup of coffee should lead to one thing - "Policy change in every police dept in this country..."

"Do you feel me???"
"I am sure you do!!!"

Wow...
This is really exciting stuff...
Now the jury is still out on the Professor Henry Louis Gates vs Jim Crow-ley case... But (yes, big fat too sensitive to be a police officer but in the room) it is obvious to most that Jim Crow-ley is very sensitive... According to one report, Professor Gates could have told Jim Crow-ley to "go F_ _ K himself" and not have broken any laws...

"In contempt of court, you get loud and abusive in a courtroom, and it's against the law," says Shane, now a professor of criminal justice at John Jay who specializes in police policy and practice. "With contempt of cop, you get loud and nasty and show scorn for a law enforcement officer, but a police officer can't go out and lock you up for disorderly conduct because you were disrespectful toward them." The First Amendment allows you to say pretty much anything to the police. "You could tell them to go f--k themselves," says Shane, "and that's fine." http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1912777,00.html

It is also obvious from the news conference yesterday that Jim Crow-ley, an 11 year veteran of the Cambridge Police force is Stupid... His own defense was from a legal professional that stated this eleven year veteran did not have full understanding of the legal ramifications of the crime "disorderly conduct" in the field... If anyone works in profession for eleven years and don't have a firm grip of his/her discipline, that person could easily be considered stupid... You can become a brain surgen in eleven years... Dahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Let's look at where supposely Professor Gates was being disorderly??? Let me see the reports says:
"According to the Cambridge police report, Gates exhibited "loud and tumultuous behavior, in a public place" that "caused citizens passing by this location to stop and take notice while appearing surprised and alarmed."

The issue of whether or not Gates — first in his home and later on his front porch — was in a public place has sparked plenty of debate..." http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1912777,00.html

Now the general public must be very alarmed at the fact that according to Jim Crow-ley your own home is a public place... Technically, you can't be naked in a public place... Opss, we are all breaking the law each time we go to the restroom... Wow... That means that according to Jim Crow-ley an officer can walk into your home uninvited, charge you with disturbing the peace, and drag you off to jail... Oh least we forget, he can make a commotion on your front porch which causes unknown people to rubberneck then use these unknown passer byers against you...

Now that's what I call a badge bearing, gun totting, "Privacy Pirate - to the N- Degree... General Public beware, your rights of privacy, even in your own home, according to Jim Crow-ley has all been wiped away... Oh did I fail to mention that all this comes without a "search warrant..." Hummmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Oh and that's not all, you do not have the right to ask any officer, according to Jim Crow-ley, for their Identification... Now ladies and gentlemen, here is where the jury is not still out... Failure of Sgt Jim Crow-ley to render immediately his identification when asked is illegal... As a public servant it is the right of the citizen to ask and be given this information upon request... I hope this point has not fallen on deaf ears... When the inmates control the jails then there is lawlessness... Therefore just as it is illegal for a citizen to not provide proof of identification to a law enforcement officer the same goes for the officer...

Professor Gates, should sue the Prestigious Cambridge Police dept for False detainment, harassment, pain and suffering... If Professor Gates does not follow thru with a law suit against this rogue-filled police dept, he is letting all the rest of us law abiding citizen down... Without check and balances Police officers will walk right into our homes, shoot us down, handcuff us, call for back up, then charge us with disorderly conduct as we lay there bleeding to death on the floor...

The jury may be hung for now, but (big we aint stupid but in the room) eventually it is going to become very clear that if this matter is not properly addressed and the prestigious policeman Jim Crow-ley is not harshly reprimanded he will set the precedent that all of our homes are public places and our constitutional right of privacy is forever gone... I can see lawyers using this precedent to get police officers off on countless cases where an officer say he use the Jim Crow-ley judgement rule to enter a woman's house - who just happened to be in the tub... Oh, let not forget that said officer will pull her out of the tub, handcuff her, and charge her with disorderly conduct in her own home...

Wow...
The Jim Crow-ley rule is one we can live without...

2009-07-24T11:54:00.002-04:00

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...
The Professor Henry Louis Gates saga continues and getting stranger everyday... Now we have the arresting officer saying:

"Crowley confronted Gates in his home after a woman passing by summoned police for a possible burglary. The sergeant said he arrested Gates after the scholar repeatedly accused him of racism and made derogatory remarks about his mother, allegations the professor challenges. Gates has labeled Crowley a "rogue cop," demanded an apology and said he may sue the police department."

Wow...
I guess Professor Gates should have brushed his teeth before addressing Officer Crowley... You know "bad breath" can be very offensive??? As a former police officer myself, I have had to deal with "bad breath" in the past... I didn't quite have the same reaction as officer Crowley did, but (first big gingivitis but in the room) I guess I never faced "bad breath" from a guy in his own house... I can see how this could be very disrespectful... Officer Crowley probably figured Professor Gates could have at least gone to his own restroom, pulled out his own mouth wash, and took a gurgle... I mean that is the least a man could do in his own house before talking to a civil servant (Police Officer Crowley)...
Dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

And the lady that call the Police in the first place should have warned them that Professor Crowley has a habit of talking to you with "bad breath..." I mean, my God, I am sure she at least talked with her neighbor who uses a cane at least once... And how is it, an 11 year veteran of the police dept did not have a clue as to whom Professor Gates was... And they say that there is no racism in that neck of the woods...

What, is it a prominent black man in Cambridge "just another "Nigger" with a PHD???"

I wonder what would have happened if it had been the other way around???
Crowley was black and Gates was white???
I can tell you, "the black would have been fired" and the bad breath remarks would not have mattered..."
I can hear it now,

"How dare you arrest a prominent member of our community over "bad breath..." Black man, have you lost your mind???"

I am sure that the white Cambridge elite would have said, how "Preposterous..."
But (great big I don't like the way your "breath" smells but in the room) we know that isn't what happened... The white prominent Cambridge elite did not come out in the defense of Professor Gates... I have always heard that "silence is concent..." Hummmmmmm!!!
I guess if Pres. Obama had used a different word to describe his thoughts of the matter he would have come accross differently, but (big opps he is a black man but in the room ) he said what he felt... I believe that if most people, black or white really think about this, then they would all agree; Professor Gates should have never been arrested for having "bad breath" especially in his own home...
"DO YOU FEEL ME???"
"I know you do..."

Wow...
The bigger picture here is that this is a direct reflection of the huge "Cultural Divide" that exist in this country... We are at the Apex of a new United States of America and everyone is trying to paint their own version of how they see it... "

"So how do we fix this???"

"Communication, communication, communication!!!
We must talk to each other...
I stopped to get some gas on the way home and spoke to a white guy in general about the price of gasoline... He looked as if I had "bad breath," so I did the quick check because I wasn't at home... I don't think I had "bad breath" but (big phat he act that way but in the room) he certainly had that, "why are you talking to me" look on his face... Now you guys know me, I kept talking to this guy until he responded with a "yo mama!!!" I am from the "hood" so I responded "yo grand mama!!!"
Thank God Professor Gates wasn't there, he would have gotten arrested for having "bad breath" at a gas station...
LOL, Just kidding!!!

Either way, I said to myself, "self we need some "honest dialogue about race" in this country and it has to start with those we intrust "to protect us..."" And we see now that this is more needed than ever before in the Police departments around the country...
The first thing we must do is teach them how to read their own job description:

"The job of a police officer is demanding and challenging, and requires more than just the ability to fire a weapon and chase down suspects.

Besides the physical skills needed to be an effective officer, police officers need diplomacy, ethics, self discipline, and a good amount of human compassion. Their job involves assisting those in need, negotiating arguments and exercising patience more than it involves engaging in physical conflicts, so it takes a well-balanced person to effectively hold a police officer’s job. http://www.career-opportunities.net/articles/view/police_officer_job_description"

Wow...
It seems to me the sentence: "Their job involves assisting those in need, negotiating arguments and exercising patience more than it involves engaging in physical conflicts, so it takes a well-balanced person to effectively hold a police officer's job" is key...
I guess Officer Crowley didn't read that part... What Police Officer's must realize is that it is the law abiding citizens that give them their power, not the other way around... As a police officer, you must be able to smile through the "bad breath!!!"

Now, if Officer Crowley is truly a civil servant, then he realizes that he has not served the public very well with this felonious arrest... It looks like he abused his authority to try to make a 58 year old black man, "BOY" in his own home... Well officer CrowLey, the days of "the "White master" telling "Toby" to shut-up in his own home" are over... That's degrading and no man should have to put up with it...
"Officer Jim Crow-ley was not invited in by Professor Gates, there wasn't any crime being commited, therefore he was out of order..." And besides, when are words the grounds for an arrest even if the perp has "bad breath!!!"

"DO you feel me???"
"I know you do..."
"Let me hear you say, "yes, yes, yes we can!!!""

"If Harvard truly stands behind one of their most respected Professors then they should do to "Jim Crow - ley" what the elites at Duke did to the "Durham DA" in the Duke 3 case - "get him terminated..." In the "Duke 3" case those guys were drunk and unruly, but (big fat they were white drunk and unruly rich guys in the room) they still got off...
Now you know they had to have had some serious "bad breath!!!"

"Let's all take a deep breath..."
"Let's take a step back for a moment..."
"Now let's all say in one voice, "JIM CROW - ley must go!!!"
"It is for the common good..."
"Next time "Jim Crow - ley might kill "yo mama or yo grand mama" for having bad breath..."

OK, enough...
I am out...

Oh, before I go, let me say,
"Roland make sure you keep your mouth closed around "Lou" because you are sure to get arrest for having "bad breath..."
The 9-1-1 call would go something like this; "This is Lou down at the show... There is a loud black guy down here with "bad breath" trying to break into the show... Yes, sir Mr. Lou, we will be right down..." The headlines would read the next day, "Roland goes to jail with tooth brush in hand for trying to break into his own show and screaming at Lou "yo mama..."

"Big smiles!!!"

2009-07-23T20:28:00.003-04:00

Wow...
This is some really exciting stuff...
As many of you have already heard the story of Professor Henry Louis Gates arrest by a Cambridge police officer... Culturally Speaking, we as a people have come a long way but (big phat signifying but in the room) for the black man, we have a long way to go yet...
Professor Gates told the Ap:

"This isn't about me; this is about the vulnerability of black men in America," Gates said.

He said the incident made him realize how vulnerable poor people and minorities are "to capricious forces like a rogue policeman, and this man clearly was a rogue policeman..."

I am sorry to say, but (a big phat capricious but in the room) this incident it is a paramont moment for the black man in America... For many of us, this type of behavior goes on everyday... It took a high profile "Black man" being treated like "all the rest of us" before it become a national news issue... Yes, it took this incident for all the fortunate hard working prosperous successful black men to come the "Realization" that regardless to how high you climb, "you still be a black man!!!"

Wow...
I am having a "it's about time moment!!!"
The irony here is that we have a black President, a black governer, and a black mayor yet this kind of stuff still goes on... Dahhhhhhhhh!!!
"What is that about???"
Now I hope Professor Gates does not allow this issue to die without addressing it fully... We as a people are constantly degraded, accused, misused, profiled and the like without cause and when one of us with some clout get the opportunity to speak up; generally we don't... Now it is time for Professor Gates "to do the Right thing," stand up for the brothas...
Culturally speaking, if Rosa Parks had not sat down, Dr. King could not have stood up... Sometimes it takes something like this for something to happen...

Wow...
This is also ironic that this incident comes on the heels of CNN's Soledad O'brien "Black in America 2." The first B-N-A was so negative and sterotypical it was degrading to US(A) as a people... I hope this time Soledad get's it right... If she really wants to make it right, she should request a one -on -one with Professor Gates... She could start a dialogue of the injustices we suffer on a daily basis... No one has to look far to find stories of "the Gates saga" in cities around the country... In my post, "the many faces of Fayetteville NC," a young African American honor roll student was shoot in the back for walking black in his own community... The sad part of this story is that you can't drop the charges on a dead man... Professor Gates should think about that... We have had a spree of shooting by the Police that have gone unanswered by our so-called black leaders... Maybe now that the Police have taken the gloves off and are targetting them too, they ( black leaders) will stand up and speak up...

In my post, "The Audacity of the House Niggers," I address the issue of our "do nothing" favored... It seems that when we as a people reach a certain level in society, we forget from where we came... This is a grave misfortune for all of US(A)... It is time for the "Professor Gates's" in our community to stand up for those of us that can't draw the national attention as they can and "do the right thing!!!"

"Do you feel me???"
"I know you do..."
"Let me hear you say, "Yes, yes, yes we can!!!""

Wow...

This is some really exciting stuff...
As a "Culturally Conscious African American Male" this is not just another new story... This is a life matter... A matter of life and death for "black men" everywhere...
"Professor Gates, black men around the nation are depending on you to shine a bright like on this matter for all of our sakes..."

Wow...

This stuff gets more and more exciting everyday... I have several points that I want to address today so let's get right at it...

First of all, Pres. Obama should stay on health care reform until he "get it done..." He has the best adviser one could have on his team in the person of Hillary Clinton. As first lady, she championed the most wide swiping reform bill this country has ever seen... Health care reform is a bill whose time has come... It is time-out for any more excuses... All that is left is for the President to give the American people a bill they can live with or to die for; if you will, pardon the pun???
Enough said on that...
"Do you feel me???"
"Then let me hear you say, "Yes, yes, yes we can..."

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...

Seconly, there is a very familiar scripture in the bible that says: "Psalms 24-9:

7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

As a prior military officer, I find this scripture to be a very powerful example of military protocol, discipline, and order... Culturally speaking, all of our military leaders including our commander in chief's have all consulted the bible while making decisions about military force... This often times is the difference between victory and defeat...

This scripture speaks of the importance of the gatekeeper...
Wow...
In this situation as all situations, the gatekeeper is one who is trusted to hold the keys to the kingdom; if you will... This person must be held to the highest scrutiny in order to ensure his trustworthiness... If at any time, this person loses focus or become breached in any way, it is the kingdom that is at risk... Pres. Obama is our gatekeeper to the world... He is expected to be held to the highest scrutiny because we are the kingdom he has been given the power to safe keep... Of course, we have gatekeepers all throughout government and our society at all levels... Anyone who has the ability to let you into anything is a gatekeeper... We as a nation, have lost our since of security even after 911... We are very relaxed when it comes to our personal security... I believe this is "America's Achilles heel..." We take it way to lightly when we hire a hotel night clerk for example... This person technically has all the keys to that particular hotel (Kingdom)... If this person is not one of high moral turpitude, then nothing or no one in this hotel is safe... But (first big but in the room) we as a nation have forgotten the lessons of our past and have allowed "unscrupulous" individual to become gatekeepers... In my post: "Pres. Obama: "What does a gay guy have in common with Patton???"" I spell out a scenario where a gay hotel clerk was stalking me around the hotel... It probably seemed light to some but as a former police officer, any violation of "privacy by these pirates" should be harshly dealt with...
With that said, I am convinced Secretary Gates is the right "gatekeeper" for our military in defense of our national interest... He displays the military aptitude and strategic warfare planning skills necessary to analyze the needs of our troops to not only win but bring this war to a peaceful resolution...
"Secretary Gates, "I salute you!!!""
"Do you feel me???"
"Let me hear you say, "Yes, yes, yes we can...""

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...
Lastly, now I am sure you have heard of the Erin Andrews peephole voyeur case in the news... This is a really strange case... This again goes back to our relaxed sense of security on all levels... First of all, I am amazed that a woman of such high profile, who I am sure stay in hotels all the time, could allow herself to be victimized in such away... I am a two-hundred and fifty pound African American male who stay in hotels regularly and I take precautions to insure that no one can see through the peep hole... This a security matter for me, not so much that some one will get peek at the "jewels," but ( big phat cya but in the room) more to the fact that it allows a "privacy pirate" the ability to determine when I am in or out... I am not at all a high profile person, yet I choose to stay in hotels with hallway security cameras that work... I also check the peephole to ensure that it actually works properly or a least stick a piece of toilet paper in it...

This case is more about this woman's choices and some would say, "very ignorant choices..." Let me also say that, "I have stayed in many hotels 2 - 4 star hotels in the last five years and I only found one peephole that allowed someone to actually see through from the outside..." I find it amazing that this hotel where this high profile person stayed had improperly installed peepholes and especially one in this high profile individual's room...
Hummmmmmm!!!
I am sure the hotel will do a detail investigation to defend themselves... As my mother always said, "there is always two sides to every story..." I don't want to downplay the significance of this case, "peeping tom" is a crime... In this situation though, there are more things that don't add up than do... Either way, this young lady will profit from this situation... So it is more to her advantage than disadvantage from my point of veiw...
Wow...
I had never heard her name prior to hearing about her case... Now her name is wide spread through-out the world... See what I mean???
If the perpetrator is caught and that is a big if, what will his story be??? I will not be surprised if this person works for the Hotel - "a gatekeeper..."

The most important matter here is that "Privacy Pirates," no matter who they are peeping on must be dealt with harshly... It is our American right to expect a respect to our privacy... We must exercise due diligence in order to keep these criminals out of our stuff no matter what it takes because privacy is our right...
For all who it may concern, security is all of our responsibility...
1-Never assume the door is locked - lock it...
2-Never assume the peephole works properly - Check it...
3-Never assume the room isn't bugged with a video - check your room for strange objects like cameras...
4-Never stay in a hotel without working hallway security cameras...
5-Always put toilet paper in the inside of the peephole to prevent anyone from seeing in...

Dahhhhhh!!!

Ms Andrews will overcome this misfortune, but (big be more careful but in the room) we should all be more careful...
If all else fails, hold the hotel accountable... By law you have a right to privacy, therefore force hotels to do proper security investigations of the gatekeeper they hire for the front desk...

Wow...
"Do you feel me???"
"Let me hear you say, "Yes, yes, yes we can!!!"

"Pres. Obama: "The Audacity of Rep. Sheila Jackson - Lee!!!""

2009-07-10T14:24:00.001-04:00

Wow...

This is some really exciting stuff we witness everyday...
Let me start off by saying that the tribute to Michael Jackson was more than a memorial; it was an American story... An American story that speaks of all the things that cause us to call ourselves American... The Michael Jackson story did not end on the day his heart gave out; it did not end at that moving memorial tribute; the Michael Jackson story will never end as long as there is breath left in an American any where...

Yes, the Michael Jackson story is a story that is colorless...
It is a story that is genderless...
It is a story that cross every cultural boundary...
Yes, the Michael Jackson story is our story...
For how many of us have dreamed to be loved and appreciated for who we are...
How many of us strive to overcome obstacles everyday in order to free ourselves from the bonds that so easily entrap us...
How many of us dream of having a different look or tone or height or weight...
So Michael Jackson is just like all of us -

American...

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...
As I watched the tribute yesterday, I was so greatly moved at the so many different perspective of the man - Michael that was so eloquently presented to us from such a diverse group of Americans... I was greatly moved by the remarks made by Ms Brooke Shields...

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXRIpUnH0d8]

Brooke was someone who knew the humorous Michael... She told story of a young man that only wanted to do one thing; laugh... Then there was Rev. Al Sharpton, who put everything about this man of colour into it's proper perspective...

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MAKLq865bk]

But (yes the first big phat but in the room) the person I believe is the true hero of the hour for all of us was Rep. Sheila Jackson - Lee... Rep Jackson - Lee is not unknown to us... She is the one person that was not afraid to step into the ring, strap on the gloves, and knocked out all of this "Great American's" critics for once and for all...

Please allow me to go lateral here for a minute.... I have history with Rep. Jackson - Lee... This is not the first time in my blog that I have had the opportunity to honor this "Great American" hero... In my post: "The Audacity of the House Niggers," I highlighted the stand she took in the Jena six case when it was addressed by the congress... This woman of great character, patriotism, and truth reprimanded the federal judge (who was also black) for his lack of involvement in this case before it got out of hand... Rep. Jackson - Lee truly understands her role as a leader in the House of Representative as well as her obligation to her heritage... When others sat idly by with their arms folded, Rep. Lee dared to forge out into the deep and stand strong for all of US(A) especially US(A) of color...

Rep. Sheila Jackson - Lee, for your intestinal fortitude and for standing up for US(A), we "Salute" you...

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VLQq_EUdVA]

Rep. Sheila Jackson - Lee you are a "Great American Hero!!!"

Culturally speaking you are our present day "Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman..." You are the keeper of the flame that lights the way to "truth and liberty..." To my dismay, we are not making many more great leaders as yourself; who selflessly throw themselves into the fray for those who can't fight for themselves... Rep. Jackson - Lee, I am sure you will get a lot of negative press for introducing the congressional declaration on Michael Jackson's behalf, but (big thank you but in the room),

"Thank you..."

There is a change in the air...
For too long have we (Americans) used up our heroes, then later disown them, and then drag their name through the mud... We have done this with our veterans, our educators, our freedom fighters, and of course our congressional leaders... People that are honored around the world as great humanitians and freedom fighters are often unsung in their own backyard... We as a culture are guilty of abuse of those who stick their necks out for US(A) all... Yes, we are guilty of abuse of those that invest their time, their money, their name, and yes even their lives; as they strive to uphold the American Flag - our symbol of democracy around the world...
Enough...
It is Enough...

Yes, we are guilty of killing Michael Jackson...
And the sad thing is that Michael Jackson always forgave us for all that we did to him... But (it kinda late but in the room) after his demise we try to make amends...

For countless others it is too late... For Michael Jackson, the best way to say we are sorry is to recognize his good works... For the bible tells us: "he/she without sin cast the first stone..."

Rep. Sheila Jackson - Lee said it best, Michael Jackson was a "Good Samaritan!!!" The bible does not tell us anything about the personal life of the good Samaritan just simply of his good deed... Let's do the same for Michael Jackson... We know all the negative stories about this man; true and untrue... It time to give honor to the good stories of how he was loved and respected as an humanitarian the world over...
Few can make this claim...

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...
Rep. Sheila Jackson - Lee, thank you for your tireless devotion to truth... Thank you for upholding liberty for all Americans... And most of all, thank you for standing up for your heritage... As I said in my post: "The Audacity of the House Niggers," If we don't stand up for ourselves, who do we expect to do it???

Rep. Sheila Jackson - Lee, I say again, " you are a "Great American Leader!!!""
"I salute you...""You are my Hero!!!"
"Do you feel me???"
"I know you do..."
"Let me hear you say, "yes, we can...""

2009-04-16T16:02:00.003-04:00

Wow...

This stuff just keep on getting more and more exciting everyday... Pres. Obama "we the people" want you to remember... Remember that we are the people that we have been waiting on... We are the people that still believe that with your leadership, "Yes we can!!!" We want you to remember that "We are not as divided as our politics would suggest..." We the people of these United States made a vow to (US)A that whatever it takes to right the wrong we are the people for the job because if it can be done "Yes We Can" do it...

So when it comes to bigger government we say even babies grow up, so "Yes We Can!!!" So when it comes to the "Tax code, immigration, Iraq, Afghan, and all the other problems that face US(A) as a nation we "Yes We Can!!!""

Remember Mr. Pres. these three word were not only a campaign motto but (big "Yes We Can" but in the room) these are the words of a nation...
From sea to shining sea - "Yes We Can!!!"
From boarder to boarder - "Yes We Can!!!"
From every patriotic heart - "Yes We Can!!!"

So as a sign of Patriotism we the people vow to fly "The American Flag" proudly so that it can be seen from the moon that we are a "United States!!!"

"Yes We Can!!!"
"Yes We Can!!!"
"Yes We Can!!!"

Pres. Obama Remember - "Yes We Can" Heal this nation and repair this world..."

"Pres. Obama: "Kyra Phillips - Soul Sista Number 9!!!""

2009-04-16T15:13:00.008-04:00

Wow...

This is really exciting stuff... Culturally Speaking through-out history there has been those who cross the vast social and cultural divide to relate to another culture on an intimate plain... In recent years it was Bill Clinton, the first black president... Bill has an intimate relationship with the black culture and to most, he lead the way for a little known black guy with a funny name to become President... I am sure to the dismay of his very intelligent wife, but (big opss but in the room) that's another post....

Now you all know, I am an avid watcher of CNN and one of my most favorite anchors is; "Kyra Phillip - Soul Sista number 9..."

Kyra is truly a "Soul Sista number 9!!!

She is a very smart, articulate, N-Yo-Face kinda Sista... Recently I, and I am sure many others, experienced her tough "Gone Girl" side while doing the live coverage of the recent New York shooting... I am sure, if you were watching, you saw when Kyra's tenaciousness nailed a caller down to get the facts even before the AP... Then while interviewing another sista about a job interview kyra went there with; "two snaps and a neck roll" kinda, "do yo thang" my sista!!!
Ah, Beep Beep!!!
Ah, Ah Beep Beep!!!
And just the other day, Kyra showed her "sock it to me one more time" softer side; when while doing a story about an African American youth who had committed suicide, we could not control her emotion of sadness...
It was an "I feel you" moment which brought me to tears as well... Culturally Speaking, we as a people, don't trust anyone who we think don't feel us... It is an hereditary trait that has been passed down from our African roots as people of the "talking drum..."

Now that's a great big;

Wow...

I know that Ebony has already chosen their picks for "Most Influential Sistas and Brothas, but (first big but in the room) my vote from CNN goes to "Soul Sista number 9" - Kyra Phillips... Kyra did the documentary; "Noose!!!"

She did an outstanding job exposing the truth behind this hideous racial tool of fear and divisiveness... She could have easily "white washed" the project because she didn't have a dog in that hunt, but (great big hats off to you Kyra but in the room) she didn't... For that I believe she deserves a "Pulitzer!!!" Now you all know me, I like to keep it exciting, so please allow me to say that the contrast is "Soledad O'Brien's documentary - Black in America," which I feel was a "white washed" job... I feel that because Soledad has a dog in this race she felt the pressure of the "status quo" to not knock the "establishment" too hard... As a result, I feel that she did a documentary that did not rightly represent "we as a people" from holistic point of veiw... Well Ms O'Brien, you should have passed that torch to "Soul Sista number 9; Ms Phillips would have handled it just fine... "
And take it from me;
"when you see Kyra on the street,
if don't know what to do,
just don't jump in front of her; just let hur go and say;
"Gone gurl, do yo thang, do yo thang, do your thang...
Gone gurl, do yo thang, do yo thang, do your thang..."

Wow...

So Soul Sista number 9; Keep up the good work because we be feeling you..."

Check it... When the brass at the "Big News Room" in the ATLPeach gets on yo nerves, just take from mr and say to them like the true "Soul Sista Number 9 " you are:

I'll be. be
Walking down the street,
Ten times a week.
Un-gawa. Un-gawa {baby}
This is my power.
What is the story?
What is the strike?
I said it, I meant it.
I really represent it.
Take a cool cool Black to knock me down.
Take a cool cool Black to knock me out.
I'm sweet, I'm kind.
I'm soul sister number nine.
Don't like my apples,
Don't shake my tree.
I'm a Castle Square Black
Don't mess with me.

"Kyra Phillips: "Soul Sista number 9!!!""

Check it - it is going to take US(A) to heal our land; Amen!!!

This stuff just keep getting more and more exciting everyday...
Let's get right at it...
Check it...

Culturally Speaking, during every major financial downfall that has occurred in this nation from it humble beginning, there has been those who would come out against the government. To this I say:

"I, We the people of the United States of America , do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

Wow...

Now that's what I have phrased "the Call to Patriotism!!!"

Need I say more???

I didn't think so...

"Pres Obama: "We the People of the United States of America!!!""

"Pres. Obama: The Audacity of SYNC!!!"

2009-04-11T09:52:00.003-04:00

Wow...

This stuff just keeps getting more and more exciting everyday... Unlike many of the nay-sayers on CNN and the like, I would say that Pres. Obama has done an outstanding job as the "NEW CINC" for less than a hundred days... In this short amount of time, he has not only managed to restore a sense of pride and cooperation around the world... Pres. Obama has successfully managed to tackle several domestic issues left over from the previous Administration...

One can only imagine the enormous amount of stress this has brought on for him, but (big Pres. Obama is the man for the job but in the room) Pres. Obama makes the heavy lifting look easy... One could say that his "Audaciousness and Tenaciousness" is the fuel that drives him and the magnet that others are drawn too... Now even the Reps have had to succumb to this superior force that has mesmerized most if not all who are graced to be in his presence... Some things are undeniable and political suicide to oppose which is the place that all critics have found themselves in as of late... Now that is a great big:

"Wow!!!"

Yes, I know "We as a Nation" have many a' great hurdles to cross before the finish line is in sight but (clean out the blocks but in the room) we are off to a great start... Pres. Obama has managed to remove all doubt of his qualifications to successfully handle the position of "CINC!!!" His ideology of "Audacity of Hope" should now give way to the "Audacity of SYNC!!!" It is high time for "We the People of the United States of America" to get in Sync with our young vibrant leader and help him help us help ourselves... If there is a psychology behind this way of thinking it is simply that the "world is watching!!!" Democracy is on trial here... The way "We as a Nation" play this one out greatly effects how "We as a true Democracy" is received around the world for generations to come...

Wow...

So what am I saying??? In a nutshell - the world's "nuts - shall" judge US(A) based on their limited perceptions and that will be whether "We as Nation" appear in-sync or not...
Need I say more???
I did not think so!!!

Let's sum this up...
Check it...
So ladies and gentlemen, it is up to US(A) to decide how we will be perceived and it is US(A) who will greatly feel the effects...

DO you feel me???
I know you do...

Don't this stuff just keep on getting gooder and gooder or what??? Yes, Mr. Obama, it is what "Kidd Rock" said, Amen!!! Yes sir, Amen to "dreams fulfilled..." Amen to the "audacity of hope'' for better tomorrows... Amen to better race, cultural, and sexual relations... Amen to a newer,brighter, more promising future...

C'mon now amen, amen
I said amen, amen!!!

First our independence and then our cracked nation along racial lines... Now sir you are, you must be, you've got to be - the mended of the rift and forever seal us as a nation for all peoples; white, black, brown, yellow, and red...

Culturally Speaking, it has been a long time coming but finally it's time is now... So Sir, we the people of the United States of America say as "Kidd Rock" said, "Amen!!!"

C'mon now amen, amen

2009-04-08T09:37:00.006-04:00

Wow...

This stuff get more and more interesting everyday...
Let's get right at it;
Check it!!!
In Reference to my post: "Obama: The many faces of Fayetteville NC," I received this comment from Shinda Williams (pewood@capefearvalley.com):

They hung blacks from Oak trees. You gonna ban Oak trees from the world. The
market house served many purposes in its time. Unfortunately, selling of slaves
was a market during that period of time. LET IT GO ALREADY. Otherwise, cut down
all the trees in the world!!. I'm sick of people only focuses on one thing in
regards to the market house. get your facts straight. The building was not built
to sell slaves. It was part of the time. Selling of slaves occured in many
markets around the country/ It was just a fcat of history. Other business
occurred in the center of town besides slave selling. find something else to
focus on. It is just a building. Like I said, let it go or cut down every tree
that can also symbolize the hanging of slaves!!!!!

Wow...

So I ask you should trees that are known as hanging trees be cut down??? I took a look at known hanging trees from our history on the internet to see what there fate has been... It seems that, for the most part, every known hanging tree has already been cut down... "Culturally Speaking," these hanging tree, were more often than not, used to hang black men without a proper trial... These places of hasty illegal trials and executions are a reminder of our disgraceful lawless past...

I am reminded of the Jena 6 saga and the whites only tree... Needless to say that that tree was cut down... This is a quote from a school board member after the tree was cut down:

"A clean slate," LaSalle Parish School Board member Billy Fowler said of why the
tree was cut down in the past few weeks. "There's nothing positive about that
old tree. It's all negative. And I'm serving on the new School Board, and we're
wanting to start fresh on some things."

Wow... "A clean slate..."
That is the real reason for these images of our racist past to be removed from our "Cultural Consciousness..." I, like Ms Williams, have an opinion and it is mine that we as a people move forward into a brighter tomorrow without these divisive images of racism to remind us of who we were... Besides, if it is our tax dollars that keep these buildings up ie "the Market house," then it is up to our congress to do the will of the people... If these building are not to be torn down then they should be used to educate about our dismay of our, not-so-distant, racist past and advocate true democracy for a brighter future for our children...

"Vega" has torn down practically, if not, all the building built during the mob controlling era... I don't see them keeping any buildings standing as a memorial to what mob violence can accomplish...

Dahhhhhhhhhhh!!!

What's that about???

So why would we the people keep these reminders (other than true education against racism that our tax dollars would be rightfully used) in our "Cultural consciousness now... In the case of "the Market House" in Fayettevill NC, the city voted to tear down "Rick's Louge" which was a very popular landmark for countless soldier and the like for decades... What was that about???
"Oh, "Rick's" did not represent the right image for a newer brighter tomorrow for the city???" A new image for an this international city, "The Airborne & Special Operations Museum???"
Who knows???
One thing is for sure, "Image is everything..."

Wow...

Do you feel me???

I hope so!!!

Is this stuff exciting or what??? Check it; Culturally Speaking President Obama's trip to London gives credence to this 18th century quote:

“Let it no longer be said by half informed philosophers and superficial investigators of human nature, that negers, as they are vulgarly called, are inferior to the white nation in mental abilities.”

Reviewer of Sancho’s ‘Letters’

Wow...

What can I say???
For the first time since beginning of the spreading of the African Slave throughout the Diaspora, has a black man been welcomed to the land of his oppressors with such pomp and circumstance as now... President Obama is the pride of all peoples of all colours... Therefore as President Obama is greeted by Queen Elizabeth, we shall all experience the death and birth of an Era...
A time when the black man was considered less than a man to a time where the black man is known to be as all men, "God's image; just in Ebony... "

It is no surprise that this day would come. It has been spoken of since the beginning of time... It is the true cycle of man's existence... It is the self fulfilling prophecy that was spoken of by our ancestors; that one day a black man will be received by Kings and Queens as a great leader. His very presence will speak for him... He shall be known as the "Mender of Transgressions!!!"

Wow...

This is some really exciting stuff...

I hope you do...

"Mr President Obama: What does "Joe the Plumber" have to do with a "Laxative???"'

2009-02-03T11:28:00.011-05:00

Wow...
This stuff just keeps getting more and more exciting everyday...
First of all let me say, "hats off to President Obama and his administration for launching the "White House Blog (www.whitehouse.gov/blog) for US(A)... It is very informative, easy to navigate, as well as an easy read... This is just what this new-tec generation needs - a gov that speaks our language... As a concerned citizen who realize it is up to US(A) to help our government work for US(A), I noticed there was not any mention of the homeless... I believe we are only as good as how we take care of those less fortunate than ourselves... Just an observation and if I overlooked it, I stand corrected in advance...
Bravo Mr. Pres...
Bravo...

Now, let's get at it...
So what does "Joe the Plumber" have to do with a "laxative???"
Lemme see,
1-They both get "stuff" moving???
2-We all need one once in a while???
3-It's a dirty job but some time we just got to getta done???
I think you get the picture...

Wow...
Now that is some deep "Kim-chee!!!"

But (first but in the room) all jokes aside, "Joe the Plumber" is just what the Reps need to reform their elitest image... Until the now infameous "Joe" showed up, the Reps had no idea what the average american lifestyle was like on a daily basis... "Joe the Plumber" is a breath of fresh air to a very stagnate "grand ole party" and they know it... I was not surprized to see Joe on TV first thing this morning addressing the economical stimulus plan... It is amazing how one man can change the face of an organization overnite... Now with several of the Presidential nominees facing tax problems, it makes "Joe" look more like the rest of US(A); just citizens... So the Reps are on their way to countering the successes of this past historical presidential campaign and no they will not be ready in four years but (big forward thinking but in the room) they will be a force to be reakoned with... So what is "Joe the Plumber's" appeal???

Joe is just like any one of US(A); an average Joe...
Wow...
So where am I going with this...
Americans have the "Janet Jackson syndome," "what have you done for me lately..." Therefore, if the democratic party don't counter the Reps with their own ordinary folks visually actively involved with this administration, they will be playing catch up during the next presidential campaign...
I know we made history with record numbers of people coming out to vote for Mr. Obama, but (a great big sooner-than-later but in the room) we must not let down our guard now...

Culturally speaking, we as a people, have always felt left out of the democratic process... We have always believed that some ordinary folks should be sitting at the table when the "Law-makers" are making "laws" that directly effect our lives... The Reps have caught on to this sorta by accident... Now it is up to the leaders of the Dems to do the same... I don't mean finding a "Joe-sophene the Plumber," but (big instead of "Joe" but in the room) a "John the (culturally conscious) Electrician" will do... Hey the Dems must keep the lights on... Corney I know, but (big you get the picture but in the room) I am sure you get the picture...

Well that is my two cents worth...

"Pres. Obama: "The Audacity of Accountability!!!""

2009-02-03T08:01:00.002-05:00

Wow…
This stuff just keeps getting more and more exciting…
As I observe President Obama’s quick start attacking our economical crisis, I am reminded of an earlier post I wrote which I believe puts things in perspective…

The baseball scandal report by Senator Mitchell on the abuse/use of steroids was
one of the most detailed reports I have ever heard. I was struck by a particular
line Sen. Mitchell used to describe how this problem could have persisted
unchecked for so long. He said,”Nothing happens in a vacuum.” This statement
gives credence to every situation that happens in our lives.Nothing happens in
and of itself.It’s always a sequential process of events that bring things to
its present situation.
I believe then as now, “Nothing happens in a Vacuum!!!” We did not get into this economical mess in and of itself; it took many of those in charge squandering our money via anti-accountability… Therefore Mr. President, as Senator Mitchell said in essence, Nothing happens without accountability… Mr. President, “We the people” demand that you hold those that so easily squanded our money with the

“Audacity of Accountability!!!”

It is time out for not holding those who so carelessly misuse “we the people’s” trust… As a result of the previous administrations so nonchalant attitude, “we the people” have lost our homes, cars, jobs, and for some even our lives…
Mr. President Obama, enough is enough…
Sir, the only way we as a nation is going to get back in the black, we will all have to do our part… The biggest part of that is to hold those in charge of our recovery;

"ruthlessly audaciously accountable…"

Wow…
If “we the people” are being held accountable for our day to day existence or should I say, “struggle;” then certainly should be all the “fat cats” who are spending our money… Culturally speaking, it has been our ability to trust our government that has kept us strong in the world… It is time now for the “audacity of accountability” in order for US to return to our place in the world… If we are going to bail out these banks (ers), then they are accountable to US(A)… Mr. President, we are holding you accountable to hold them accountable so that we as a people can regain trust in these great United States of America…

Can you feel me???

Let me hear you say, “yes we can!!!”

"So what does "Trust" have to do with "Dirty Draws (Panties)???"

2009-01-27T13:25:00.003-05:00

Does this stuff just keep getting gooder and gooder or what???
“So what does “Trust” have to do with “Dirty Draws (panties)!!!”" Dirty draws (panties) is an indication that the draws (panties) have been worn… When your woman comes home from a long day at work, strips off her clothes, throws her draws (panties) in the hamper, and jumps in the shower; I say those draws should reflect her day… I know this is some deep kimchee but (first big but in the room) relationship is deep; so buckle up and hang on… If your woman comes home wearing fresh clean draws (panties) then why is she in the shower??? Dahhhhhh!!!
There is a real contradiction there… I myself am a draws (panties) sniffer!!! I greatly enjoy the fragrance of a newly-day-long-soiled pair of lacey draws (panties) that have been freshly dropped in the hamper… I am sure it is the call of the wild in me that causes me to sit with great anticipation awaiting my woman to say “I am taking a shower…” Then I can bearly restain myself from the anxiety generated from the desire to sniff out the treasure of my woman’s day-long-fragrance awaiting in your draws (panties)… Then anticipation immediately turns to delight when I hear the shower waters thrashing again the shower curtain… I quickly rush to the hamper and eagerly search for the source of my passion… Some times my woman, anticipating my anticipation, will hide her draws (panties) deep down in the hamper to screw with me a bit, but (big phat dirty draws but in the room) I will not be denied… I search and search until I find this precious treasure… Then with the greatest of passion I slowly thrust my ever ready nose deep into them, finally quenching this unwavering desire for another day…
Wow…
I know to you ladies, this sounds a little strange but (another big phat dirty draws but in the room) this is a practice that has a dual purpose… Yes of course there is this wilderness nature that must be satified by enhaling the fragrance of your woman day-long-dirty draws (panties)… Then there is that male couriosity, that is never satisfied, which always ask the question “can I trust her???” Some may say the question should be ” does she love me???’ I say, ” Not!!!” A woman is a strange creature… She can rationalize, “loving you and screwing Freddie at the same time… Dahhhhh!!! So it is not about whether she loves you or not, it is about whether she can be trusted or not…
Well the draws (panties) will tell the story…
Yes, I know, she can take a separate pair of draws in her purse with her to work or as a one lady did on those occaision, “just stop by “Wallies world” for a new pair… Yes, all this is true… Therefore this could be a fruitle practice if you are trying to catch her in her stuff, but on the other hand if your woman has nothing to hide, the hamper will be full of her dirty draws (panites)…
There you have it…
God did not put a very unique call of the wild in us for nothing… This enjoyably strange behavior also reafirms the “trust” we have in our woman…

Wow… Ain’t this some crucial stuff???

As all of you know, I have been blogging about the unjust fatal police shooting of a honor roll Fayetteville State student in Fayetteville NC on thanksgiving day… K-Roc, the young man gunned down by a renegade police officer, only crime according to witnesses was “walking in his community while black!!! According to witnesses, K-Roc was shot in the back while his hands were raised in the air…” “What is that about???” Regardless to what might have been the officer’s reasoning for shooting that dreaded night; how can the officer or anyone else justify shooting an unarmed black man in the back??? Can someone answer me that question??? Someone asked me why I am so adamant about getting this information out to the people; well because K-Roc could have been me or you that dreadful night… It is important to know that this renegade officer became the “Judge, Jury, and exercutioner” on all “blacks and people of color” that night…Say it aint so???But unfortunately it is…

Yea, what "Jack Nicholson" said about "niggers" in the movie "The Departed."
It looks like on every hand we as a people are being misused and abused and killed and no-one cares.If you haven't yet checked out what "Jack Nicholson" said at the beginning of the movie, "The Departed," please do!Paraphrasing; He said "the problem with "Niggers" is that they always wait for somebody to give them something when all they need to do is take it." Check it out...A very powerful Line in a movie from a very respected actor.But "Jack" is right..."Enough is Truly Enough!" It is "Time out for all this BS and no positive results.Michael Baisden, people fear him because he had the balls to put them on "Blast" and make it "ring!" He was very effective in bringing attention to the Inequalities that exit in the country these days.Let's keep this momentum going!They are taking us out it seems everyday and if we don't get pissed off like the French are right now and stand up and say "Enough is Truly Enough!"Then Jack was right..."We have a serious problem!" I am not talking about violence. I am talking about voicing to open a dialogue in order to obtain a positive outcome for total equality and recognition. Michael Baisden is a modern day "Martin!"Either way, when people of power hear his name they see change (Balls for a-change).Now they are busy trying to find a way or ways to stop him and all of us who are ready for the next level of change in to Complete Equality. And all those who don't want this type America should leave the Country...This is what the Fore-fathers and founders of this great land fought for; peace and equality-for every man, woman, boy, and girl; black, white, brown, yellow or red...I am with it so it's time to "do what "Jack" said..." So I am calling for all blacks, African Americans, and people of color; to join the family of K-Roc and me on 19 January 2009 in a “March on this Market house (former slave selling place) City…” If you are a “culturally conscious” believer in social justice, then join us in this “show of unity” against all injustices we as a people have experienced in this country; past and present!!!” This is the only way we as people can insure that our voice is heard and the “seeds of Change” are planted to prevent situations like this from happening again…Do you feel me???I am sure you can…Wow…“People united can never be defeated!!!”So spread the word by speading this blog around to “Culturally Conscious” people of color around the world… This is about our heritage as a people and how we will be treated in the future here, around the country, and around the world…” We can not sit back and let this horrific “injustice” go without making a “loud cry of “No Justice, No Peace!!!”"Do you feel me???Do you feel me???Then say Yesh!!!Say Yeah!!!Yes we can!!!
Wow…We must come together as a peole and not allow this honor student”s tragic death to be in vain… Whether Rev. Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson shows up; we must show up!!!” Whether Michael Baisden or Thom Joyner broadcast this historical event in the historical city; we must broadcast it on every webpage, email address, and cell phone we have… We must not wait for the so-called leaders of our people to get on board because we can’t afford to wait… Not this time…Not this year…Not this people…We must show up, stand up, and speak up against this injustice and injustices everywhere…
Hopefully all of our leader will show up and get on board, but (big get-on-board but in the room) we must forge ahead as a people with a purpose for our own destiny…
Please leave your comments of encouragement and support… “Cry Out Loud (COL) for Justice” and be a part of history on the “March on the Market House in Fayetteville NC” 19 January 2009…Somebody say yes!!!Yes!!!Yes we can!!!

"The Audacity of the "Pulpit Pimps!!!""

2008-12-16T10:35:00.007-05:00

It appears that the church has lost it’s “salt…”

This post is in reference to the unjust shooting of a 26 year old Fayetteville State student on Thanksgiving day I have been blogging on from the very beginning…

All the facts are not in but one thing is for sure is that “K-Roc” was a 3.8 gpa student striving to exscape the stigma of his community and make something out of himself when he was shot in the back by a “renegade” Fayetteville Police officer…

Now to the “salt” question??? The Pastors have fail the citizens of this community by not coming out to address this incident and the community… Right now the only thing this young black is guilty of is “walking while black!!!”

Wow…

What is that about???
Culturally Speaking there should have been an outcry from the local churches because not only was this unarmed man shot in the back; He had both his hand raised in the air… This could have been anybody out for a walk… Why did the Police shoot should be the question the “Pastors” should be asking… But (big black “Pul-Pit-Pimp” but in the room) nothing!!!

These Pastors actions give credence to Micheal Baisden’s reference to them as “Pulpit Pimps!!!” When I first heard this kind of talk from Baisden, I was appalled… I love Micheal but ( big phat but in the room) I could not get wit him on this until now…
http://www.pulpit-pimps.org/

Now I have a real understanding of the “Phrase!!!” One definition of the word “Pimp”
is “to exploit!!!”

I believe this is exactly what these “Pulpit Pimps” are doing…
Exploitation!!!

When we as a people give our tithes and offering every Sunday, we believe that these men and women are there for us… We believe that, as Martin did, these Pastors will at least address what appears to be an injustice in our community… But (big Phat Black Pimp but in the room) to my dismay, this is not true…

“We the people” are left to defend ourselves the best way we can…Now when “we the people” turn against the church and stop paying our money then these “Pulpit Pimps” will get the picture… It is time out for the “status quo” treatment from the “Pulpit!!!”We the people are hurting while these “Pulpit Pimps” are sitting back getting fat (I did not say, “Phat!!!”) on our hard earn tithes and offerings…

Who do these pastors answer too???

Who knows???

Actually appears to be “no one…”

What's that about???

A friend of mine said that when the national media shows up so will the Pastors… So are they doing what God has ordained them to do… I say, “No!!!”

Then why are we treating them as “God’s anointed???” That is a good question… There use to be a time when the Pastor visited the sick himself… A time when the Pastor would feed the hungry himself… A time when the Pastor would visit those that are incarcerated them self… Why??? Because that is the great commission supposedly God called them to follow…

What happened???

“Who knows???”

"The Many Faces of Fayetteville NC!!!"

2008-12-12T08:02:00.006-05:00

Wow...
Is this some exciting stuff or what??? Lets start this post by saying I appreciate all the folks that stopped by and commented to my blog... I don't expect everyone to always agree with what I write, but (big black but in the room) I do expect you to respect my "constitutional right" to write it...
Dahhhhhhhh!!!
"Culturally Speaking," let me say that, we as a people, have a lot of work to do in order to rewrite the wrongs our community has suffered for years... I am presently in Fayetteville NC...
As most of you know; I have been writing about what many, in this small former capital of NC and slave selling city, called an unjust shooting on thanksgiving day... I had the unfortunate opportunity to visit the scene where the young man (K-Roc) was shot down... The blood stained street brought back vivid images of a time gone past when black blood ran freely in the street by the hands of another that Malcolm referred to as the "white devils..." Today we have Obama and civil rights, but (the big phat black but in the room) has things really changed that much from then until now??? Hummmmmmm???
I don't know, but (another big black but in the room) one thing is for sure, witnessing the blood stains still in the street after a week or more in the shadows of the (Slave) market house, brought those "oh so vivid" horrible reminders back stronger than ever before... I asked the primary witness (Melvin Gary) who live directly in front of the scene of the incident, did the city clean the street??? He said, "No!!!" I then began to try to see where the police had did their crime scene marking to penpoint all crucial information such as the placements of each shell casing, trajectories and vectors diagrams, and crime scene sketches... To my surprize there were no other markings on the street except a "blood stain..." So I asked the eyewitness (Mr Gary), if they had put any flags out to mark those types of things??? He said, "He never saw them do anything like that..."
Then Mr. Gary and I, met with a long time community activist named Minister Eronomy Mohammed about the shooting...
Minister Mohammed encourged us that he was actively involved with this case... He said that he had contacted the Fayetteville Police Chief and his assistant... He said he also contacted the attorney generals office in Raleigh NC and the Governor's office in reference to the same... We also talked about the SBI's report status... Minister Mohammed said that regardless of the, so called, SBI clearing the officer; there is nothing clear or closed about this case... He assured us that the attorney general's office, the congressional black caucus of NC, and the National NAACP out of Raleigh were very much interested and active in this case... Therefore, case aint closed and will not be closed until the family of "K-Roc" which is the same family of "Anthony Lee Winston" are vindicated...
Wow...
That's some powerful stuff but (another big phat but in the room) please allow me to go lateral here for a minute... How is it that none of the so-called national black leaders (House Niggers) never returned any calls... Who am I referring too... I am glad you asked, because here goes a few names: Rev. Al Sharpton, the Rev. Jesse Jackson (not sure whether he got the message), Roland Martin, and the leader of the Jena six movement- Micheal Baisden... I am so tired of these so called black activist not at least returning the call...
Ok, ya'll lighten up!!! "House Nigger" is a figure of speach to get a point across... I can hear you now saying, "who does he think he is???" I hope I got your attention though... There are people here hurting because of this unjust act of "Renegadiousness!!!" For as we know, this renegade cop could be a "Klan Plant..." "R-Roc" was not the first shooting that this officer was involved in this year... I was told that the Local black ministers were scared and that is why none of them came out to say something publically about this unjust shooting... Privately though I did speak with a very prolific southern black preacher who expressed the tragedy of this incident... Whether they are scared or asleep, a mother cries at night over a son who will not see another thanksgiving day with her due to being shot in the back with his hands up on the street he lived on by the very person who is suppose to protect him... Hummmmmm!!! For as we know, "K-Roc's" only crime was "walking while black" in his own neighborhood... To top it all off, Mr Gary reported that even when EMS arrived on the scene that dreaded night (yes it was at night) they did not render life saving CPR for almost 30 minutes...
What's up with that???
Check it... So we have a renegade cop, a non responsive ems, a non crime scene marking by local police or SBI, and a completely silient local black minister's group... Wow... Sounds like these "good ol boys" have got a "lock" on Fayetteville NC... The only minister that has had anything to say has been Minister Mohammed and they have denounced him as a looney... Well looney or not, he ain't no "House Nigger!!!" So Minister Mohammed is leading the charge for justice for the family of these young men - Past and Present!!!
Wow...
Now please allow me to not be one-sided in my "Cultural Perspective!!!" Fayetteville NC is more than a place where renegade cops still roam free... Fayetteville NC is also the city adjacent one of the largest military bases in the world... Home of the 82nd air borne division, Fayetteville is known world wide... After years of strip clubs, prostitutes, and drug dealers thick as thieves on Hayes Street, Fayetteville has done a considerable about of work to do away with "Ricks Lounge" and the like; replacing them with a new jail, town hall, and Air Bourne museum... But (big slave house black but in the room) all these changes still remain in the shadow of the "Market House," one of the most racsist symbols of our horrific past as a people... Yes a lot has changed and indeed there are alot of things that remain the same... Though one would be remiss to say that things have not changed and it is this change that we as a people are fighting to see continue... Change for a brighter more equal inclussive tomorrow... This is the image I believe Fayetteville whats to be known for not that of decades of renegade cops killing young black men in cold blood...
Chilling???
I dare say so...
Here is an excert from an article from the Fayetteville Observer which indicates the "face" that Fayetteville wants the world to see...
Plan to end homelessness face obstacles!!!
http://www.individual.com/story.php?story=93268493

"James Jacobs, another Salvation Army resident, moved in Dec. 1. He said he got divorced and was laid off this year in Kentucky. He worked on computer networks.
"The economy is bad," the 49-year-old said. "Normally, I can get a job right away."
Jacobs, an Army veteran and former reservist, wound up in Fayetteville. He said he spent a few months in the Veterans Affairs Medical Center on Ramsey Street for treatment of depression and other mental health problems.
According to the local homeless census in January, about 8percent of people counted were veterans; 5 percent had serious mental illnesses; and about three out of every 10 were drug or alcohol addicts.
10-year plan
The 10-year plan has been in the works since 2006, involving city and Cumberland County officials, as well as organizations that help the homeless. Originally, the goal was to eradicate within a decade chronic homelessness, which is defined as people who have been on the streets for at least a year or have become homeless at least four times in three years. The plan's authors, however, opted to broaden the goals to include all the homeless.
The problem, Giles said, is that ending all forms of homelessness is impossible. Some people lose their homes after fires, job losses or spousal abuse -- circumstances that can't be prevented. "

Yes this is the face Fayetteville NC would love for the world to see... A face of humanity and reconstruction... I am all for that... But (wow buts everywhere in the room) Fayetteville NC must also deal with its own messes as well... No one is saying that the entire police force are renegades... It certainly does look like there ought to be some house cleaning in order try to right this wrong... It only take one bad apple to spoil the entire bunch...
I smell a root apple or two don't you???
Wow...
So where are the Al Sharpton's, Jesse Jackson's, Micheal Baisden's and the like??? For that matter, where are the local ministers from the thousands of churches this small city can boast of... One would think that they don't think this small life of a 3.8 gpa Fayetteville State student is important enough to speak out... Ok, if you can't speak now then forever hold your peace for truly God is the just judge... He will speak for the blood that still stains the street where the young man (K-Rock) was shot down with his hands up in cold blood...
It is time for "Change..."
We the people are ready for "Change!!!"
"K-Roc's" tragic death will not be in vain as long as there is "Change!!!" "K-Roc" is the hero here, because he turned his back to the past and thought about the future...

Go "K-Roc," we are all indebted to you...

Wow!!!
It is time to do something as "we the people" of the United States of America...It seems that when Bush don't get his way the fuel prices start going up... And when Bush gets what he wants, he rewards us by lowering the fuel cost...
I have not done a study but I can see and it looks that way to me... Either way, the people should be mad as hell. We must take action ourselves or we will boil over as a "culture!" How much more can we be expected to take... I have called all the organizations to ask what can be done... I blog about it all the time... I talk about it all the time... But noone has an answer... I have an answer!!! Let's boycott Opec for weeks and file individual lawsuit against the energy dept... Even better, lets protest all around this nation at every gas station until the oil prices come down... Even better, let's all go on wellfare until the government, that is suppose to be for the people, gets the picture...
I am sure you can hear my frustration and I am not alone... I don't know exactly what we can do but one thing is for sure, we have got to do something...We the people of the United States are going to have to take charge of our own dsetiny other wise we are doomed... It might already be too late... I am afraid that if something isn't done soon, the dollar is going to be in the drench and we are going to be begging the third world for help...
Now of course there are those "Fat Cats" that have stashed tons of euros away from kickbacks and down right thief from our tax dollars who don't give a damn, but for most of us this is the only country we have... If we don't do something, who's fault will it be??? If we don't do something, what kind of future will we have???
This is a sad story...
What in hell were we fighting for all over the world to come home to ruin??? Is this crazy or what...It is getting really ugly out here and we are the ones looking bad... Like I said, I am mad as hell and I am ready to do something drastic... When John Lewis was in the the fight for "civil rights," he along with Andy, Jessie, Martin and the like did something drastic to make change happen... No, I am not talking about something violent, that is not me... But I am seriously talking about something drastic... I can not imagine how "Wall Street" gets a bump when oil prices go up... Dahhhhh!!!
We must do something drastic enough to get the attention of our sleeping or out to lunch government... I don't believe the President even realize "how fuel prices are defining our culture???" And our governing body representatives make too much money and don't feel the pain of us average folk... I hope CNN, MSNBC, and any other media outlet will call me in order to start this conversation...
As most of you know, I use to drive a "big truck" as a day job (until I am discovered :)) and it costed me $4:00 per gallon... That's 150gals everyday... And no, the shipper don't cover all the fuel cost... If you are wondering why the cost of everything is going up check out the cost of diesel... Prices will rise in direct collation with fuel cost... Now ladies and gentlemen, that means the increase is pasted down to us... Dahhhhhh!!!

2008-09-10T00:15:00.001-04:00

Wow…
THis stuff just keep getting better and better,,,
You know, it is amazing to see how “culture” so greatly effect this historical presidential campaign…
So lets take a look at it…
First of all, it looks like Obama is having an “Hillary Clinton” moment…What am I talking about here???Well I will tell you…When Obama got the “Big Mo” from “Ms O,” it rocked “Hillary” back on her hills (no pun intended)… What Hillary did not understand was that she was experiencing a full frontal cultural assault… This was the worst thing that could have happened to her because throughout all her years in politics, she nor Bill had never ran against a person who could ride the wave of culture to victory…Hillary needed a crash course into “Cultural Diversity” which I hope I was a good source… But (there is that but in the room) Hillary did not catch on until very late in her campaign… Bill never did catch on…
Well there is a saying that says, “What goes around, comes around…
”Well, Obama meet Palin…Talk about a cultural divide…Wow…Now if Obama is not a quick study, he will suffer the same fate that Hillary did…There is only a short “window of burn” before Palin will be at “Thottle up,” and we know what happens then…So how did Obama use “Culture” to defeat Hillary?It is simple, he was just being himself…You see culture is something that you are not something that you have to try to be…So if Obama want to stop the “Palin Burn” he must do what he did against Hillary (which should be easier because Palin is not the nominee. She is more like Bill), just be himself…A better way of looking at it is, “Let your cultural self shine through…”Sounds simple?Well it is!Obama must realize that Palin is being herself… What you see if what you get (that is worth a mil right there)… What you she in Palin is another “Pretty face…” People are attracted to a pretty face… What else do you see in Palin, she is also a very good charismatic speaker, but (Another big but in the room) without the substance to back it up…And lastly, what else do we she about Palin, is that she is the epidome of feminism - she is a woman and she lets everybody know it…So what is the “bridge to culture” that separate these “two dynamic people???”Simply, it is she is the only woman in the race…By being the only woman in the race give her a cultural dynamic that give her room to do as she pleases… Women who are middle of the roaders could feel a sense of cultural commonality… But (man there is that but again) just being woman is not enough to keep this train on the track… Our society is full of the girls next door sorta women who are the hard working highly educated spiritually honest woman’s greatest nightmare… The middle of the roaders can do about anything and it is ok… But the accomplish hard working highly educated woman who does not want to be known as just another pretty face with nice legs, but she must maintain a higher standard… So Obama must let Palin’s own cultural DNA be her dimize… Palin is more of a fade than real substance… Palin will dummy down the efforts of all women and roll back the hand of the feminist clock if she is the elected VP… Women will all over america, regardless to their level of accomplishment will become just another pretty face with nice legs…Huhhhhh…If that is the future of the “state of women” in america, then it is back to the “Pretty woman treatment” for all women…Wow…Obama need only run on the same cultural principle he has been running on until now…Obama is a black guy…Wow…If he did not know this before, the people that are going to vote for him will not because he is black but inspite of it… They will vote for Obama simply because he has new ideas and he can relate to all people… McCain need Palin to complete him, Obama is complete by himself…It is Obama’s cultural difference that cause people to realize that the character of this man… He has overcame just about every obstacle one can to get to where he is… And besides, Obama has a cultural difference that noone else in the race has, he is the only black guy… If Palin is playing the middle of the road female that needs a shero, Obama is playing the “Yes we can” role for all the hopeful people out there who is tired of the “dummy downs” running things…Years ago, I had a conversation with a young lady who described the Bush twins as the smart one and the dumb one (just so happens one is blonde - you connect the dots). Then she began to say that the smart twin hangs out with her mom and the dumb twin hangs out with her dad (I am sure you can figure out what she was referring too)… At the time, it was simply conversation, but ( big black but in the room) it did let me know how sensitive women are to how they are preceived by their peers… Either way, if Obama was OJ Simpson, I would not vote for Him because whether OJ was guilty of killilng his wife is unsure, but (another big black but in the room) one thing is for sure, “He is a big black dummy!”Obama, win or lose; makes me proud to have the opportunity to vote for him… Obama is the new standard for how America can be…Wow…This stuff is really getting good…Obama must realize that it does not matter who McCain chose as a running mate the haters were still going to come out for him/her…Haters hate harder than they love…So Mr Obama, do what you do; Big high energy rallies with rock star status…And it is time to remind your people again the things you echoed over and over again during the last eighteen months, “yes we can!!!”Wow…Aint this some good stuff???Well, you guys know I like to keep it exciting…Lets just say that there is one thing McCain likes to keep constant in his life and that is a “Pretty Woman!!!” When McCain talks about honour, I can’t help but think about his first wife… I am confused to how he could leave her (if the stories are true) for just another “Pretty Woman!” Just food for thought…If McCain was truly a man of honour, he would not have left his first wife because of a horrible accident which left her disfigured… McCain reminds me of a great old song, “I’m so Vain!!!”“BO” needs to stick with what “BO” Knows, how to “ROck the House” with all of us and “Ms O!!!”It is time for another great Youtube vid and another night time rally under the stars… Lets dance…Invite Bush, he can dance…Besides, Bush don’t give a damn about J-Mc anyway…That was obvious eight years ago and every time J-Mc breaks from the Reps made Bush look bad…J- Mc is a lifesaver and BO is a yummy bear and JB is a Cup of Joe, then what is Palin???Oh lets see, “Alaskan Moose…”Wow…
Good stuff!!!
“Obama/Palin: When Cultures Collide!!!” or “Palin: Just another Pretty Woman!!!”

"Obama vs Palin: Look Who's Watching!!!"

2008-09-05T02:00:00.003-04:00

Wow...Ain't this some exciting stuff or what???
Ok ladies and gentlemen the conventions are over, so it's "Game on?"
If who watched is any reflection on the winner of this competition, then it's "Game over!"

Check this...
Culturally, it has always been only in sports did a "Black Guy" win the race... Well here we have a guy who is leading the "Who Watched" race by millions...

Wow...

38 Million View Obama’s Speech; Highest-Rated Convention In HistoryBy Brian Stelter
The 38 million figure from Nielsen includes the audience on ten networks: ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX News Channel, MSNBC, BET, TV One, Univision and Telemundo. It does not include PBS or C-SPAN, which also carried the address live. PBS estimated that it averaged 3.5 million viewers between 8 and 11 p.m.http://tvdecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/29/conventions-38-million-view-obamas-speech/

Therefore based on this article Obama had more than 41.5 Million "Who Watched Obama!" Wow...That is an exciting statistic...
Now check this, Palin got over 40 million viewers herself... An audience of 37.2 million people watched Palin on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, Nielsen Media Research said Thursday. PBS estimated its audience at 3.9 million, based on a less reliable sample of several big cities. Nielsen does not count the audience for C-SPAN, which also showed the speech.
http://news.yahoo.com/story//ap/20080904/ap_en_tv/cvn_palin_s_audience

That's 41.1 Million "Who Watched Palin!"Now that does get a big "Wow..."The numbers are not in yet but I would not be surprised if J-Mc does not get nearly that amount of "Who Watched!" When I was in the service it was the senior staffer that got the props... To be showed up by your second I believe speaks volumes about the number one... I hope J-Mc counted up the cost when he picked a person as a running mate who's credential and standards are so different from his own.

This is what I call a

"Political Boomerang!"

Culturally, the "veep" is sured not to be a threat of up-staging the the Pres... To use Palin now is to be used by her later... "Political Boomerang!!!"Dahhhhhhh!!!"
Now you know I like to keep it interesting...Check it...I would feel a little slighted if I were J-Mc that Ms SP is getting all the attention and he is the "Reps" nominee... It's all in the numbers baby... If J-Mc fails to win the "Big Pres," he will be remembered for only one thing, "launching" Ms SP's political career...

Wow...

J-Mc turns the light from himself and gives it all to a virtually unknown with the nick-name "Barracuda -which BTW means a greedy, solitary, predator!"

Wow...

"What was J-Mc thinking" is the question that comes to mind..." And he talks of judgment??? I guess he has never watch an episode of "survivor - alignancies are made to be broken, especially when it benefits the person looking for immunity!"

I would "Trump" the "Mother of Five" before she "Trumps" you J-Mc... She is a "Political Liability" for your sense of judgment and sinks your new mantra, "country first!"

"So What in the words, "Greedy, Solitary, Predator" which sounds like it supports that mantra???" Not hating, just making an observation...Wow...All headlines talk about "Obama and Palin... Let's see McCain, what is wrong with that picture???"

I will help you out, "YOU ARE THE "REPS" NOMINEE!"
Dahhhhhhh!!!"
"Let's see; is it three, five, seven, or nine?"
"It doesn't matter because everybody knows how many of everything Ms Palin has..."
"Oh stop J..."
"I will..."
Wow...

***Retraction: Hockey moms liked that Joke...***

"Obama vs Palin: Look Who's Watching!!!"

"Palin: Don't hold a Candle to Hillary!!!"

2008-09-04T00:55:00.004-04:00

Wow...
This stuff just keeps getting better and better and better...
Wow...
You Know, before the "Reps" Veep started to speak, I was a blank page... I must say, I had great anticipation because this was to be the counter to Hillary... And we all know the credentials that Hillary has... So in my mind, this woman that the "Reps" picked would have to be outstanding in every way...
I am sure unlike others I tried not to get caught up in what the media had been reporting all day...
I wanted to give the "Reps" pick a fighting chance...
Now you all know that I am not bias in any way but always leaning on the side of "Culture!" So from a cultural stand point, the Williams sister match-up had my attention even up until the speech began...
Needless to say, the match was great...
So after, watching one of the greatest matches in History, I was ready to cheer just about for anybody...
I know you feel me...
BUT (there is that great big bad but in the room) this historic speak began and the disappointment began to roll... My first thought was this woman does not hold a candle to Hillary... For the most part, regardless of who had won the "Dems" nomination, Hillary or Obama, they would be a great representative... One only has to look at a person's resume to see if that person adds up to the task put before them... I know that the resume does not always give the hold picture, it is just a great place to start... I have always considered the "Reps" as a party of the highest standards...
But (there is that but again) this convention has changed my mind...
I am reminded of a joke I heard years ago...
The short of it is, "Frog's with no legs, can't hear!!!"
Wow...
Check it...
Lets get right at it...
I ain't hating, just making an observation...

***Disclaimer Here: For all you haters out there, this is America and anyone who speaks there mind is merely exercising their right to the freedoms this great nation stands for... So if you don't like it, don't read it!!! Dahhhh***

As I sat listening to the speech, I began to feel like I was at a PTA meeting... I didn't get the feeling that this person talking was diplomatic or professional for that matter... I hope the watered down approach, was planned and not just the way it happened...
Needless to say, that for me the speech went down hill from there... I tried to find a pivot point from which to draw a comparison that I could build on in order to develop a story worth repeating...
Oopses...
It never happened...
The one thing that was predominate during the speech was the roaring which seemed very much orchestrated applauds after every line she spoke...
This made the speech began to sound like a late night monologue...
I guess J had better watch out, she could be taking his place soon... I was also appalled at the way the "Reps" seem to mark step with each event that seem to occur effortlessly during the "Dems" convention...
In short, they seems very unoriginal but trying very hard to stay up... If this was a real race and the two candidates had to actually run a foot race against each other, there would be no race... Obama would beat McCain hands down...
Comparing the two convention, that the graphic that comes to mind... The "Reps" know that there is no way their nominee can out run the "Dems" so they struggle to add things to the course to trip Obama up... Well Palin is one of those things that the "Reps" hope with assist in tripping up or slowing Obama down...
I don't think it is working...
My brother has PTSD military related, being treated throught he VA hospital... He talks as if he is still in the military everyday... He does not believe anyone who tells hims different than he believes, but (that but again) in his mind his facts are the true facts...
So it is all in his mind...
I think when the "Reps" say that their secret weapon is the answer-all to all their woes, I say, "it is all in their head..."
J-Mc truly has an impressive resume, but (wow, big but again) all old soldier lose a step... Their brass get dull and their uniform doesn't quite fit the same... Their song bird voice begins to wean and they lose their "nine to the front and ten to the rear..." The "Reps" are trying to use a no-name Governor of a very small populous to energize the pace-maker in their party...

Wow...
Ain't this some really exciting stuff...

Now you all know that I like to keep it interesting... I want to address some of the attributes of the "Reps" new Veep...
First of all, she claim to be able to field dress a "Moose!"
I don't know about any of you, but (man that but keeps showing up) I have seen a "Moose!"
This is a massive beast who's young are big as horses... So the idea that "Ms Veep" could barely move parts of this animal to dress it is amazing...
Need I say more???
Dahhhhh!!!

Secondly, the joke about a "Hockey Mom?"
From what part of the country was she referring too???
I know quite a few "Hockey Moms" who would take issue at this joke...
I will leave it at that...

Now thirdly, Do any of you know what a "Barracuda" looks like and is normally referred too???
The barracuda is a ray-finned fish known for its large size (up to 6 ft in length and up to a foot in width, for some species [2]) and fearsome appearance. Its body is long, fairly compressed, and covered with small, smooth scales. It is found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide.Barracudas are elongated fish with powerful jaws. The lower jaw of the large mouth juts out beyond the upper. Barracudas possess strong, fang-like teeth. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.divemagazine.co.uk/news/images/Barracuda2006SRogerson1.jpg&imgrefurl
Barracudas occur both singly and in schools around reefs, but also appear in open seas. They are voracious predators and hunt using a classic example of lie-in-wait or ambush. They rely on surprise and short bursts of speed to overrun their prey, sacrificing maneuverability.

The larger barracudas are more or less solitary in their habits...
Now the slang definition is
2. Slang. a treacherous, greedy person.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/barracuda

Wow...
I guess if the shoe fits????

Either way, whether we dummy down or beef up, what remains the same is that we are the ones that will have to live with our decisions in the voting booth...

Wow...
Exciting stuff...

But (big fat black but in the room)
"Palin: Don't hold a Candle to Hillary Clinton!!!"

"Change vs The Status Quo!"

2008-08-31T13:27:00.002-04:00

Wow...
Ain't this some exciting stuff or what...
How about the "Dems" convention??? Awesome huh???
That's what I call, "Bringing it!!!"
Now lets see how the "Reps" plan to "Upstage" that... Take my advise "invite the President."
It is going to look bad if you don't... The Dems had two Pres and a VP... So the Reps have to at least see the two and raise them a couple VP's...
Besides, Bush has a ways of exciting a party, if you know what I mean... If the Reps dont "Bring it" with the same or at least similar intensity, they will lose by virtue of "Lack of creativity and excitement..." Now, J-Mc really does have good taste in women... Isn't it kind of interesting though that "Ms Palin looks alot like Ms Iseman (difference is hair color)..." I'm not saying that these two women could be twins but it is just interesting to me that J-Mc's picks all have a very similar look... I aint hating, just appreciating... Obama says, "J-Mc don't get it.." There is a lot of truth in that... J-Mc must "get" that people were going to make the comparison, so he has to have his story ready in advance... Don't mind me, I am just thinking out loud...
But Check this...
Now the Reps are going to have to explain that when they say Obama aint nothing but fluff, then there is Ms Palin... Hummmmmm!
WOw...
Some exciting stuff or what???
So now the Reps are calling this pick "change..." Looks more like "the status quo" for J-Mc... There are countless numbers of more qualified women on trhe "Reps" side of the house that J-Mc could have chosen. Instead McCain went with his same ol same ol... There is one thing that can be said about Ms Palin, she has the girl next door kind of look... Now J-Mc could have really brought change to the ticket by choosing "Ms Rice!" Does this have anything to do with the Reps having a problem voting for a black person??? Hummmmmm...
Noone can deny that Hillary was a person of substance...

Ms Palin is change but is she the just another pretty face you want running the country if something happens to J-Mc???

Apparrently the Reps have no problem with it... Now Obama's pick for Veep brought balance to the Dems ticket but will it matter if whites can't see themself voting for a black guy or girl for that matter... One would hope that the vote for the person to lead the greatest nation in the world would be that of a serious nature... One where the person voted in is one who has the confidence to exercute the duties of the office with due diligence...
So it boils down to "Change vs the Status Quo!"
Can Americans do what John McCain could not do, vote for the person who will not only be a great representative for all American but the world... If we as a people make the wrong choice we put ourselves in a much more negative light to the rest of the world...
Democracy is on trial here...
Our constitution is being held hostage until our vote for the right person sets her free...
Our credibility around the world is in question until we stand up and do the right thing...
We have a lot at stake here with this vote...
Democrat or Republican, we must hold up the seriousness of the things that make us proud to be called an American... Well, as one lady put it, we have two months to make this decision... Either way, in the end, we will be judged for our actions...
History aside, thats my "Cultural Observation" of the matter...
Obama has proven to mostly every "conscious person with a heart beat," that he is respected domestically and internationally... Obama will bring credibility to the office of the presidency... What will an old respected war hero and another pretty face do for our credibility around the world??? Not knocking McCain for his age but just putting the facts together, even though most respected, the fact remains that J-Mc finished fifth from the bottom in his class even with all the tutors his daddy could hire... Secondly he could not beat George Bush eight years ago when he was a lot younger... And last but not least, everyone knows that the older one gets the slower and more eratic things begin to work... At least Reagan had George H Bush, who had several years of experience behind him...
Don't mind me, I am just speaking out loud...

Well McCain would probably be the oldest leader in the world... Ms Palin does bring young kids to the ticket...
Lets check that box...
She also brings a sense of fashion - can't wait for the fashion reviews...
In order for her to really make a difference, she must be able to connect with young people... Well Obama has a firm grip on that handle...
So we must wait on the show...
Wow...
"Change vs the Status Quo!"

2008-07-24T23:43:00.001-04:00

Wow...

Does this stuff keep getting more and more exciting or what???
Check it...
Another night of CNN's doc "Black in America..."
Did I say before now that "no matter how you present crap, it still smells like crap???"

Wow...
"This doc is still crap..."

The pre - doc interviews are better than the doc itself...
Thank God they are because without them we would be dished up some really nasty stuff - if you know what I mean?

Ms Oreo, had the Audacity to preface this crap by the following:
"What it's like to be "Black in America?"

"Give - me - a - break..."
"That's the biggest fairy tale I have ever seen..."
"Yeah, what Bill said..."

As a good friend of mine put it, "if this is what it is like being black in America then we as a people (of American) are in trouble... No wonder "whites in America" think about us the way they do if this crap is a true reflection of "Black - N - America... ""

Who's the blame???
Well "culturally," we as a people are where we are as a direct result of "1441..."
"So don't believe the Hype?"
Where is "Chuck" when you need him...

The following is my response to the "Hype!"

"Ancestry, Predecestry, and Successtry: Black - N - America..."
Never forget...

We've lived through;
persecution, mutilation, social devastation, excruciating pain;
bondage, shackles, thrashings, bashings;
the ravaging of the motherland.

We've survived starvation,
dehydration, inflammation, that horrible trip;
tossing, tipping, constant dripping, sea sickness;
the belly of the ship...

We've endured indignation,
humiliation, sequestration,
the stripping of our souls;
Desecration, degeneration, castration,
the market place,
being sold...

We've drudged through war,
brother against brother, blood, mason dixon,
the blue and the grey;
Destruction, emancipation, reconstruction,
forty acres, broken promises;
What mule?
No pay...

We've overcome racism,
discrimination, segregation, deprivation,
generations of being second class...
Alienation, degradation, mortification,
all sorts of derogatories;
thank God free at last...

Now we live with a simulation of freedom,
equality, prosperity, liberty,
and justice for all...

The black, the green, the red, the white, the blue;
African, American;
Standing strong;
Standing tall...

So never, never, never, never;
Never Forget!!!

"The Ancestors Speak!!!"

Now run and tell that...

"Black - N - America!"

"First Ask Permission!!!"

2008-07-24T00:20:00.002-04:00

Wow...

This stuff just keeps getting more and more exciting everyday...
Check it...

CNN spent, I am sure, several thousands of dollars to shove this crap down our throats... The interesting thing about crap is that no matter how you present it, it still stinks... It felt good to get that out... I am sitting here watching this so-called documentary saying to myself, "who produced this warmed over crap???" "

This is a propaganda series that is not painting a realistic picture of our community... Culturally, when one looks at the black community, it is impossible to negate the "historical dynamic..." One has to answer several questions before trying to put together an effective enlightening documentary... First, who is a black person???
Second, why is a black person considered black???
Third, how far has a black people come from???
Fourth, what point is to be made about a black people???
Fifth, when did the desired points of interest become a major component of a black people's lives???
Six, where is this documentary leading the social belief of this people???
Seven, is this documentary a true representation of the black community at large???
So the "Culturally Conscious" must be able to see threw the crap and address the real in the midst of the crap... Not to discuss it with the white community (who after this crap aires will probably say they are now justified in feeling the way they do about black people) but (but in the room) to make a difference...

Now, lets get real with the "the true blacks in America...
Wait a minute...
I am culturally conscious therefore everything in based on cause and effect...
Oppsss...
Someone is IM-ing me...
Ok, is that right...?
You asked for it now, "Bring it, if you can..."
(Here is the transcript... I am sure you will love it... Pardon all misspells and poor grammer... Unedited...)

Rut: we as a people don’t exploit our strength...I would rather teach a child to be strong then give a child everything and teach them how to be weak
John: when you haven’t eaten in a while you might make a mess when you first get a taste...

Wow...
Now that's enough...
Let me say, I have nothing against anyone except when you come into the black community to address our problems first, "ask permission..." That would be the respectful thing to do...
The blame game is as old as dirt itself but its not the same dirt equally shared by all...
Go figure...
The one thing that should come out of this "year long pile of crap," is that we (us true black people who are living this everyday) will begin a dialogue...

Wow…
Can you feel me???
Do you feel like I do???
Let me hear you say, “Yes, yes, yes we can!”

"If you don't say so???
"Bring it!!!" They call that "expressing yo self..."
But (yes a big black but in the room)...

"First Ask Permission..."

2008-07-23T23:40:00.002-04:00

Wow...

This stuff just keeps getting more and more exciting everyday...
Check it...

CNN spent, I am sure, several thousands of dollars to shove this crap down our throats... The interesting thing about crap is that no matter how you present it, it still stinks... It felt good to get that out... I am sitting here watching this so-called documentary saying to myself, "who produced this warmed over crap???" "

This is a propaganda series that is not painting a realistic picture of our community... Culturally, when one looks at the black community, it is impossible to negate the "historical dynamic..." One has to answer several questions before trying to put together an effective enlightening documentary... First, who is a black person???
Second, why is a black person considered black???
Third, how far has a black people come from???
Fourth, what point is to be made about a black people???
Fifth, when did the desired points of interest become a major component of a black people's lives???
Six, where is this documentary leading the social belief of this people???
Seven, is this documentary a true representation of the black community at large???
So the "Culturally Conscious" must be able to see threw the crap and address the real in the midst of the crap... Not to discuss it with the white community (who after this crap aires will probably say they are now justified in feeling the way they do about black people) but (but in the room) to make a difference...

Now, lets get real with the "the true blacks in America...
Wait a minute...
I am culturally conscious therefore everything in based on cause and effect...
Oppsss...
Someone is IM-ing me...
Ok, is that right...?
You asked for it now, "Bring it, if you can..."
(Here is the transcript... I am sure you will love it... Pardon all misspells and poor grammer... Unedited...)

John: the solution is because of the blame
Rut: problem is defined as a perplexing question
John: so let take blame out of the picture which is what the powers that be would love for us to do... then with out blame are just lazy no good immigrants that came to this country for a better life and did nothing with the opportunity...

"The Obama Bandwagon: Bill jumped On, Jesse Jumped off!!!"

2008-07-21T00:18:00.002-04:00

Wow...Does this stuff get any better than???
I am sure it will...
Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...OK, lets get right at it...
There is a great "Cultural Collision" the Pulpit and Politics...
On the one hand, you have "Rev. Jesse" putting, not one but both feet in his mouth...
Now we know that Jesse is "politically conscious," but of late has been "culturally stupid..." Now Jesse is not acting out without cause... I believe that Jesse is feeling left down by the "New Voice" of his people... Not only is Jesse being, what a baller on the street would called, "critically disrespected," he is also being shut out by his successor... Can all the Jesse be place solely in Jesse's camp... I say not...Obama is also liable with his actions... You see, culturally we as a people, have always backed a leaders with strong personalities and big ego es... Now we see here two black leaders that are of these characteristics... This is a recipe for "cultural self destruction" unless both men not "man up" but "step up!!!"

Yes, both of these men need to "step up" and take their proper place in history... For Jesse, he must step up and become the "ambassador of the civil rights social justice movement..." For Obama, he must step up and not practice the "politics of disrespect" but the "art of unification..." Plain and simple, Obama must realize that it was his ancestors who bled, sweat, and died for his (Obama) predecessor (Jesse) to pave the way for him (Obama) to succeed... Succeed as a successor and succeed in doing what the previous two could not...Simply, Obama needs to call Jesse and acknowledge his ambassadorship opening the door for real unification... It is Obama who directs who rides the Obama bandwagon must offer Jesse a sit... Jesse, right now, has jumped off...

Oh BTW, Bill Clinton is now clearly and firmly affixed on board... Whether by choice or force...Wow...DO you feel me???I hope the Obama camp will "Step up" and make the call... The bible says, "Charity begins at home..." Before Obama can win the world, he must first win over "Jesse!!!" Without doing so, Obama is just another politician practicing politics as usual... Get the picture???So as Rob Bass said, "it takes two to make a thing go right..." So Mr Obama, lets make a thing go right...

Wow...
"Can you feel me???Do you feel me???
Let me hear you say, yeah, yeah, yes, yes we can..."
Now y'all know I like to keep it exciting...
Firstly, So what about the CNN specials I will just call "Black N America???"
Culturally, it is a rehash of old smear, tear, and toss tactics...

Unlike "Noose" by Kyra Phillips, this series already stinks... Ms P, did an excellent non bias job of pulling the truth out of people and when she did not think she was getting the truth, she reported it... Ms O'Brien, has a horse in this race which I believe clouds her perspective... Of course, the hold story is yet to be seen but from first impressions, it is a one sided (warmed over) negative perspective...

Secondly, Black Bloggers meet in Atl... There goes the farm... It seems that as soon as a group of us get together to talk we forget what we ought to be talking about... Blacks don't blog nearly enough and right now those of us who are serious and objective are few far between... I hope that the opposite happens than the norm, more of us will began to be serious about changing our community by blogging our true feelings... So all of you bloggers who attended the gathering this weekend, please lets not forget what our purpose is???
"Not hating just appreciating..."
Check it...
Now if you are a hater, then "Bring it!!!"

Either way... Its for real...

"The Obama Bandwagon: Bill jumped on, Jesse jumped off..."

"Jesse's "Unresolved Issues" with Obama...""

2008-07-15T00:08:00.002-04:00

Wow…
This stuff just keeps getting gooder and gooder…
Did I say, “Wow or what???”
Ok, let get right at it…
Check it, in church this weekend at CCC, the young minister began his sermon with a very familiar scripture, “John 8:1-11” the woman caught in adultery. He then took the topic “Unresolved Issues…”

Wow…

My mind immediately flashed to the “Jesse and Obama” Drama… I said out loud, “that’s it; Jesse’s unresolved issues” with Obama…”” The young minister went on to say that all the accused accusers were holding stones… These were stones of inferiority; stones of envy; stones of jealousy; stones of strife; stones of prejudices; so forth and so on!Wow…That was really a powerful statement…

I began to see clearly the “Cultural dynamics” between these two Brothas from the same hood…It was obvious that Jesse has “unresolved issues” with Obama… It is obvious that Jesse is holding all the stones the young minister spoke about… Now the next question was why???
Why was Jesse holding all these stones against Obama???What were the issues that caused Jesse to “implode before he exploded” on a National news network… Well, as the young minister so eloquently put it, “we all have unresolved issues… Just as the accused, we all must address these issues individually… And just as each of her accusers did, we must all drop our stones and move on… “

Wow…
That’s some powerful stuff…
So has Jesse resolved his issues with Obama…?
I dare say not…
I doubt he has even called Obama…
I believe that Jesse’s issues are built on the stones of jealousy and envy…
I believe it is time for Jesse to do as Jesse Jr. said, “Stop and Keep hope alive…”
Jesse needs to stop trying to be the “next great black leader” because his time is in its twilight stage…
Jesse has done some great things during his watch but (wow, a big but in the room) now it is time for new leadership… If Jesse really wants to maintain his legacy, he needs to spend the rest of his time choosing his successor… These aint the sixties, these be the zero years… There is a highly motivated generation of twenty and thirty-something eagerly waiting respectfully to take their turn… So Jesse, do what your mantra has been for years, “keep hope alive” in your successor…

I have from a very reliable source that Jesse’s Rainbow PUSH recent convention was lacking something that Obama has quite successfully conquered in all of his “rock star” campaigning, “Twenty and Thirty something’s…” Yes, there is a major disconnect between the old leaders and the young leaders… This is a reflection on the leadership (of PUSH) not a lack of twenty and thirty somethings that are ready and willing to lead… But (there goes that big but again) Obama has reinvigorated millions of twenty and thirty somethings… This group has become the largest most culturally conscious “registered” voting block since the sixties… And as the young minister stated in his closing remarks, “ we all have our own dirty windows that need cleaning before we try to throw a stone at someone else’s window…”Can you feel me???Do you feel like I do???Let me hear you say,

“Yes, yes, yes we can…

Now, you all know, I like to keep it exciting…
America has its own “unresolved issues” that
must be dealt with…
CNN is doing a series call, “what it is like being black in America???”
This along speaks volumes about the “unresolved issues” we as Americans face everyday… Ms O’Brien is probably not the right person to host this series because “she herself could have”unresolved issues” about her Blackness!!!””
I Believe Ms Phillips would have done a better job because she does not have a dog in the race… Ms Phillips did an excellent job with an earlier documentary “Noose!”
Yes, America has its own “unresolved issues” that is apparent by the way we are addressed and handled by “the news media” in general…
Again, I have it from a very reliable source that “the news media” sometimes treats us as “Monkeys!” It was very obvious at the PUSH convention, my source said… They don’t take us seriously… And when a Jesse does a stunt, it simply reinforce their actions… Therefore if we are thought of as “monkeys” instead of serious people of color, then there is no wonder we as a people is so divided…
Monkeys can’t read…
Get the picture???
Whose fault is it???
That’s simple; it is all of our fault…
Firstly, the news media, because they have fired all the people of color from the (neighbor) hood…
Secondly, black leaders like Jesse, whose actions reinforce this notion…
Dah…
And thirdly, the rest of us people of color who sit back and say nothing…

Wow…

Isn’t that some messed up stuff???So what do we say to these things???
I don’t know exactly but (and there is that big black but again) one thing is for certain, it is time for the next generation to step up and say something for themselves…

Jesse’s “unresolved issues” with Obama…

"What does "Jesse's flip flop" have to do with a "wedgie???"

2008-07-09T20:44:00.005-04:00

Wow...
Does this stuff get any better or what...
I mean never a dull moment...

Wow...

So lets get right at it...
First of all, what does "Jesse's flip flop" have to do with a "wedgie???"
Now that's what I call a "flip flop..." LOL!!!
The Obama camp is probably scouting out loud, "Now that's a "flip flop!""
And you know, they would be right...

Now culturally this is a collision of generations and struggles... It is the old colliding with the new... One former leader feeling slighted by a newer leader... It is the kinds of things that is good for the a culture as diverse as the Black and African American community... These types of clashes are not uncommon in our community but technology has made them public...

Thru out our history, there has been the outspoken leader that has same the disease that "Mr Hill" has suffered from recently, "Foot-n-mouth" disease... Now Jesse and Bill are good friends so I am sure they can consult each other about the best cure (most efficient way to get it out...)

One most important point that must be made here is that there has been a paradigm shift here similar to the one that happened in the sixties when "Jesse's" generation changed the name of a people from "Negro" to "Black..." Negro leaders were then as Jesse is today, feeling a little slighted and in some cases lashed out in similar fashion... But (but in the room) as time has attested, we as a people moved on as one people... So in short, this too shall pass...

So history tell us the story of how our people transcended from Niggers to Negroes, from Negroes to Colouds, from Colourds to Blacks, and now from Blacks to "African Americans...
Wow...
And each time we change our description, we gain and loose leaders/spokesmen... Barack Obama is the epitome of the description African American which allows him "the unique ability" to speak with greater consciousness to both sides of the house...
Oh yeah we have always been in the House...
I am sure you know what I mean...
Dah...

As I said in an earlier post, Obama is "Standing in "Jesse's shadow..."" Like it or not, it is true... So in some respects it gives "Jesse" the right to critique Obama but (yes another big ass but) just not in an open forum...

"Now why don't you just run and tell that..."

Yeah Jesse is an icon of our civil rights movement and shall never be forgotten, but (and here is another big but in the room) this is as "Ms O" says so well,

"Obama Time!!!"

Besides what does "Jesse's flip flop" have to do with a "wedgie" anyway...
ooopppppssssssssss!!!

"Can you feel my vibe???
Can you feel me???
I just want to know???
Do you feel the way I do???
Do you???
Well, let me hear you say,
"Yeah, Yeah, Yes, Yes we can!!!

""What does "Jesse's flip flop" have to do with a "wedgie?""

"Does "Ms BO" know???"

2008-07-08T18:06:00.002-04:00

“Ms BO” might have a thang with “Ms O,” But she seems to have no deal for “Hill or Bill…”

Wow…
This stuff just keeps getting gooder and gooder…
Let’s get right at it…

While in a culturally conscious conversation it was brought to me attention that “Ms BO” could very well be a stumbling block for “Ms Hill” becoming number two…
Ooooooh Nooooo!!!
Don’t say it is soooooo!!!
Well I would not bet the farm on it but as betting goes the odds are looking good… For me it has been “Mr. Hill” I thought had the problem, but “Mr. Hill” stepped up to the bat and tipped his hat… So of course, the Obama camp gets the tag… Now we know that “Ms BO” might have a thang with “Ms O,” But Ms BO seems to have no deal for “Hill or Bill…”

Like I said, “I would not bet the farm on it but the odd do look good… Let me expound… First of all, Out of the foursome, “Ms BO” is the only one that has not step up to the bat and let her position be known… Hat or no hat, “Ms BO” must be conscious to the fact that culturally she is the most influential black woman in the world…

So now, the odds are getting better by the minute… The other thing is “Ms BO” by her nature as a black woman, and believe me I know “Black Women,” has a long memory… Black women don’t forget quickly… They will smile with you, carry on conversation with a smile, but (and boy is this is a big black but in the room) when the time is right, she will tell you how some eons before you said, “………” Man you be totally forgotten about it, in your mind it is all over, but (there’s that big black but again) she (black woman) will bring it back to your memory… Yes, the odd are getting better and better… Oh wow, I am reaching for my Benjamins already…
Last but (Yeap big black but) certainly not least, it is “a woman thang…” Yes, I said it… Culturally for eons women just have not been able to get along… Now I am not saying that they won’t work together but (another big and I mean big black but in the room) they will use everything in their arsenal to take the top position… The Alpha female if you will… Oh yeah “BO” might know something about “politics but (Yeap another big one in the room) “BO” better know something about “the nature of women…” Where is “Van Zandt” when you need her??? Oh Yes, oh yes, I have got to get me a piece of this action… I can hear
“Ms G” right now and it ain’t pretty…

Wow…
Ain’t this some exciting stuff or what???

Now why don’t you just “Run and tell that!!!” LOL!!!

"Did Black Women Drop the BalLII???"'

2008-07-07T22:39:00.004-04:00

Wow...
Ain't this some exciting stuff???

I got so much feedback from this post that it inspired me to post this one comment and then give my response...
But first rewatch this clip below if you have not... Then check out the following comment and my response...
So check out the video link below and you tell me "what is really going on???"

Black Women Dropped the Ball(Attitude,Weave and Disrespect) - The most popular videos are a click away

So what the problem is???

So check out this comment From Ms Huff in her own words:

You asked me to comment on the post "Did Women Drop the Ball" so here it is. First of all, it seems as though this young lady is referring to "all black women", and I don't feel like that is the case. Our ancestors brought us from "a mighty long way", and our older generations has continuously fought for our younger generations to take a look at where we have come from and be proud of who you are. Unfortunately, a lot of the younger generations have taken the term "freedom of speech" to a whole new level. With the new laws about what we can and can't do with our own children, the inability to protect and raise our kids the way our ancestors did, and the government being able to screw us anyway they want to, its not a wonder that our young people are falling between the cracks. Please don't put this on the black women as a whole. Its a combination of people doing what you have to do to survive, men and women not having the strong sense of respect for each other that was so evident years ago when there was no such thing as You Tube, My Space, etc. The size of your butt, the color of your hair, eyes, etc has nothing to do with whether or not you are trying to be something you are not - it has to do with your spirit. GOD made all of us equal, so if you want to wear your hair long and blonde or short and nappy, that is your preference, and that won't make you a better person then the next, it is what is in your soul. Since almost the beginning of time, women found out that "sex sales" and they have been exploited or have exploited themselves to do what was needed to take care of themselves and their families. I am not saying that it is right, I am saying that it is a way of life, and at this day in time, women just don't do it to survive, they do it for fun and to get what they want. However, if the men weren't there asking for it, they would have to figure out a new way of earning money, i.e. going to school, getting a job, etc. So for me, the bottom line is that its not just the black women that are at fault, its the black women, men, white, women, men, the government, the society, and the times we are living in. I am just very hopeful that Mr. Obama will give our young black people a new source of pride and reason to change their way of thinking.

Wow...
Was that awesome or what???
I got alot of feedback but none like this comment... I hope to hear from the rest of you...
As a "Culturally Conscious" commentator, I was emphatically culturally invigorated to spit this piece... Here it is real, right at you, and with feeling...

If it is a brotha thing then here is a piece from a brotha who understand your pain my beautiful black sistas...

Hello my beautiful black sista,
You have inspired me to write so here it is, fresh off the cuff... I hope you like it... J...

I speak from my heart, I know you question whether or not I am the true black brotha that will be there for you... Whether I will be the true black brotha that you can feel free to trust with your heart, body, and soul... Whether I am the true strong black brotha who you can't wait to come home too... The true strong beautiful intellegent black brotha who sends chills up and down your spill when he calls your name... The true strong intellegent witty black brotha who you can feel free to give yourself totally too... Who's strong black arms become your refuse and sanctuary, a place of serenity and peace for you... I truly believe that I am more than up to the challenge of the creed... But more than that, I believe that our black sistas are worth us black brothas stepping up our game... I believe the line that states, "and if I forget it, remind me" speaks volumes of the right attitude a true black brotha must have...

Yes, my beautiful black sista, I believe I must be able to handle it for you and all the beautiful black sistas every where, for if not I then who??? Who knows you the way I do, my black sista??? Who sees you the way I do, my beautiful sista??? Who's lips fit yours the way mine do, my beautiful black sista??? Who's ass rolls in perfect rythum to yours as mine do, my strong beautiful black sista... And who's sperm can unite with your egg to create another of God's perfect creations that looks like me and you my strong intelligent beautiful black sista???
Only your true black brotha, my strong intelligent articulate beautiful black sista...

So I must, we must, step up to the challenge inspite of our pass reputation... For that is the only way, another generation of black sistas and black brothas will be able to walk the planet knowing each time they look into the mirror that we made this pledge...

Besides that there aint nothing more sweeter, with an aroma more appealling, and looks more tastee, than your "Deep Dish Blue Berry Pie!!!" Yum Yum...

Can I have some???

Force feed me, please...

J. Angus John

Now talk to me... If you feel me... IF you feel my sistahs who stood up to let their voices be heard... I got lot of calls today, but put your comment on this blog and stand up and be heard like a true beautiful black sista... Or "did you drop the ball???"
Hummmmm???
This matter is too serious to play with it... You got something to say, then say it....
We are all listening...
We will never fix it if we don't address it... Call everyone you know... Call "Ms O!"
Call "BO!"
Text, write, and email every brotha and sista you know... It is that serious... Otherwise, this sista is right, you did drop the ball??? Dah...

Let me feel you....

Otherwise Shut-Da-F__K-Up!!!
Because you are the problem and has chosen that you don't want to be apart of the solution... Or you Dropped the ball and don't give a Damn... The one thing I can not consciously stomach is just negativity toward the black sista that have the audacity to "Bring it!" Raw, with feeling, and a strong ancestral vibe that cannot be denied...

So where do you stand???

"Did Black Women Drop the BallII???"

"The Women In BlackII!"

2008-07-06T21:43:00.000-04:00

Wow…
This stuff keeps getting gooder and gooder…
I just want to know something…
Tell me if you feel the way I do…

Do you???
Do you???
Do you feel the way I do???
Let me hear you say, “Yes, Yes, yes we can!!!”
(Where is Peter when you need him???)

What a vibe…
A cultural collide of consciousness and movement… And a cultural unification of generations, the sixties – zero kids coalition…
Wow, the Dems are dancing in the streets…
What a vibe…
Make you want to “shake a tail feather…”

But (here is another big but in the room) before I go further, let me check out “whats going on with Bill?”
Lets start off with “The new deal Bill.” It looks like Bill has finally gotten the picture… It may be a polaroid picture but (another big but in the room) it looks like he has gotten the picture… So what will his role be in the future??? Well that remains to be seen but (and there is another big but in the room) whatever it is, I am sure he will suffer from PMS again(Power, Money, and Sex)… It kinda comes in cycles if you know what I mean???
LOL…

Wow…
Aint this some good stuff???

This aint the sixties kids generation, this is the “zero kids generation!”
And like the sixties kids, the zero kids are forging a new tomorrow while making a cell phone video clip of “the new color of Unity” for You Tube… Watch out world, the zero kids are now on board, and throttling up… They have decided not to be known by the designator of their generation (zero), but to write in history a new measurement for their designator…

Wow…
Do you feel me???
DO you???
Do you feel like I do??? (sixties kids song)
If so,
Let me hear you say, “Yes, yes, yes we can…” (with a zero kids hook)
Wow…
This is some good stuff…
Aint it???
This is the most patriotic week of the year…
BO and J- Mc are still being very secretive about their potential VP candidate…
So the bookies are having a field day…
This must be the hottest pick in the world… I can hear it now, “Gimme Fifty on Condi and J-Mc… Or If BO knows then he will choose Hill and Bill, so gimme fifty boxed on the three…
LOL…
But (yes another big black but in the room) the wild card in the generals are the “women in black…” As Wesley said in Passenger 57, “always bet on Black!!!”
That is in this case “the women in black…”
There are several categories of these women in black…

First of all, are “the Women in Black” who are moaning for a fallen soldier from Iraq… These women in black will have a major effect on the generals… Most if not all will rally behind Obama because of his take on the war…

The second group of “the women in Black” are those young single upwardly mobile mocha latte drinkers who are in the black…that’s financially speaking… This group of “the women in black” are really into Obama because of his physical responsibility… These women in black trust that“ BO knows” how to fix the financial woes of our country and pay off Hillary’s debts…

The final group the women in black are those women that hate Hillary but (and another big black but in the room) want the ultimate woman in black - Condi, VP for J-Mc….
These women in black are die hard Reps who are J-Mc’s best chance for a true run for the office but ( again another but in the room) only if J- Mc has the sense to choose Condi as a VP candidate…
Wow...
Now that’s what I call Patriotism…

Now you know I like to keep it exciting...
Check it, the one group of women that I did not address was "the women in Black" culture...
This group of women in Black are a force to be heard and not denied... This group is the most neglected and the most misunderstood, but (now this is really a big black but in the room) the powerful group of women in Black in the world... "The women in Black" culture are "the true cultural phenom" that even though they are the majority, they have never been respected for it... "The women in Black" culture are now at the crossroads of "cultural consciousness" coming into their own and refusing to be denied...
So if the Dems are not conscious to this fact the Reps will sway "these women in black" simply by acknowledging them... And most importantly, "the women in Black" culture are not necessarily devoted to color... These women in black are more loyal to the person who they believe feels there vibe... The person or party that allows their voices to be heard... As I said earlier, "the women in Black" culture will not be denied this time...
No not again...
The Dems are going to have to bring it with this group of "the women in Black" to keep them on board... Unlike all the other groups, laying out their position once will not work... Because they have been denied for so long, this group of "the women in Black" will need the constant reasurance that they are still a part of this political process...
Do you feel me???
I hope so...

"The women in black..."

"These ain't the "Primes," these be the "GenralsII!""

2008-07-06T19:54:00.001-04:00

Wow…
Ain’t this some exciting stuff, or what???

“Do you feel me???

And it’s off to the races…
If ”Ms O” wants to keep that “Slip” from showing, she is going to have to put her chips on the old white horse…

“These ain’t the “Primes,” these be the” Genrals!!!””

I don’t know about the odds but (but in the room), I know that this is going to be one of the hottest races the world has ever seen… Take it from me, things are not always the way they appear, especially when the stakes are this high…

At first glance, it would appear that “the black horse” is going to pass this race up… But (now that’s a big black but in the room) the second horse slots have not been filled on either side yet… So don’t let the Reps fool you, winning is the name of this game… And more importantly, the Reps will do anything (they can get away with) to do just that, win…

I can hear the odds makers clicking now… The bookies are salivating at the mouth… And all us suckers are lining up to cast our lot for a piece of this action… But (wow, another big but in the room) the slots haven’t even been filled yet and the anticipation is off the chain… The anticipation alone is causing such a buzz that editors around the world are having trouble sleeping… They have their people out in force trying to get first drops on this story…

What story???
Well when and with whom will “BO and J-Mc” fill their second horse slots???
And what a story it is!!!

Wow…

Then Ladies and gentlemen,
“We are off to the races…”
Ain’t this some exciting stuff…?

Most strategist are like good poker players, they only show you what they want you to see… The best players are those who can do this without giving up the hand… Culturally, this country was founded on a gamble… And the winners were the pioneers who called the hand, betted against the odds, and raised the stakes… So again the conscious are forging a new tomorrow on a gamble…

Ok, what gamble???
The Reps are betting that “BO” will “Slip” and not pick “Ms Hill” – the white horse, as his second… Some have pegged her the “Old White Mare” but (now there is a big white but in the room) never count "Ms Hill" out... She still has a lot of race left in her… Not choosing “Ms Hill” as a second would be a fatal mistake for the Dems…
“Did you ask why???”
“I am glad you did…”
The Reps are holding the wild card and they know it… The wild card is “Ms C” – the black horse, their secret weapon for “J-Mc’s” second…
Check it, “Ms C” is “History on the huff - black and female!!!”

Wow…
Ain’t this some exciting stuff…?

So if “Ms O” don’t want that “Slip” to show again, then “BO” better know the best bet for his second is “Ms Hill,” which ain’t no secret…
“Get the picture???”
“I hope so…”

Wow…
I can see the headlines now, “the Black horse vs. the White horse” race…
And what a race it will be…

The “Primes” will not have anything on the “Genrals…”
The real race will be between the “Veeps” in the “Genrals…”
WOW…
I just want to know if you can feel me...
Tell me,
“Do you feeeeel me???”
“Do you feeeeel like I do???”
I just want to know,
“DO you feeeeel like I do???”
If so, let me hear you say,
“Yeaaaah!”
“Say yeaaaah!”
“Say yeeeees,
Yes we can…”

Now ya’ll know I like to keep it exciting, so let me “spit” on a few points…
First of all, what does “flip flops” have to do with a “wedgie???”
Need I say more, didn’t think so...

Secondly, the Reps will start playing fair when “J-Mc” learns to dance…
:o ooooppssss!!!
Not likely to happen anytime soon… I saw him on “Ms E…”
End of story…

Thirdly, Culturally “Ms T” ain’t got nothing on ”Ms O!!!”
“Is there a “stat” fight in the making???”
“Didn’t think so…”
“So let’s move on…”

Fourthly, “Bill” should get a grip with his “write hand” and do what he does best…
“Write maybe???”
“Now run and tell that…”

Fifth but not least,
On the most Patriotic weekend of the year, we say “No more flags made in China…” The Chinese already own the “Zero Kidd’s” endowment, and they want the flag too…
Not…

Enough said!!!

These ain’t the “Primes,” these be the “Genrals!!!”

"Did Black Women Dropped the Ball???"

2008-07-05T19:16:00.002-04:00

Wow...
This stuff just gets better and better, don't you think...???
Well let me say that I started the morning off watching the William sistahs play their historical match... I am a Venus fan so I must say that I was very happy she won... This was one of those "Cultural Phenoms" that cause the "Conscious" the stand and cheer...

But you guys know me, I could not negate the fact that not only was their father not there but that their parents are divorced... How sad... Why is it that black folks can't stay together???

Is it the Black men or the Black women or both???

I don't know exactly but culturally the Black man has taken the blunt of the trauma from the white man in our history... Then when it is our time as a people to stand up together and do our thang, the our "Black Sistas" trip...

So check out the video link below and you tell me "what is really going on???"

Black Women Dropped the Ball(Attitude,Weave and Disrespect) - The most popular videos are a click away

So what the problem is???
Is this young sista right???
Are "Black Women" dropping the ball on their "Black Men???"
So in the tradition of "Culturally Conscious" it is really important that we keep it real...
So culturally, we as a people must heal ourselves if we need healing...

Need I say more???
Didn't think so???

"Did Black Women Drop the Ball???"

"These ain't the "Primes," these be the "Genrals!!!"

2008-07-04T16:19:00.003-04:00

Wow…
Ain’t this some exciting stuff, or what???

“Do you feel me???

"The Second Horses in the Race..."

2008-07-03T01:48:00.004-04:00

Wow…
Ain’t this some really exciting stuff…
“Do you???”“
Do you feel me???”
“Do you feel like I do???”
“Let me hear you say,
“Yes, yes, yes we can!!!”"

So “Ms O” must be checking that “Slip” again… Yes “BO” ran well in the “Primes” but (big but in the room) it’s the “Genrals” now… In the “Primes,” it was all about the individual… But (and here is that audacious but again) In the “Genrals” it is about the “second horses in the race…”

Wow…This is some really exciting stuff…

If “BO’s” second horse is “Ms Hill” then it’s off to the races… But (and here is another big but in the room) if “J-Mc’s” second horse is “Ms Condi” then this is a serious horse race indeed… Wow and what a race it is going to be… YOU see, culturally, the conscious realize it is “the second horses in the race” (Genrals) that will determine who wins the presidency…Yes, the bookies are having a field day…
And the odds will go through the roof…

First of all, the biggest bet on the board now is whether or not “BO” will choose “Ms Hill” as his “Veep!” The stakes are high and his decision must be calculated… With “Ms Hill”, the Dems have a perfect ticket that really drives the stakes up for several reasons… One is that not only will history be made because “BO” would be the first black “Potential President” (PP) but “Ms Hill” will be the very first female “Potential Vice President” (PVP)…And secondly, the Dems will demonstrate the purest form of unity that the political process has ever seen in our political history…

Wow…
This is some pretty awesome stuff…

Now the second biggest bet is whether “J-Mc’s” second horse will be “Mc Condi?” The bookies will go crazy with glee… Not only would the wild card change to a bigger ticket but the excitement around the stakes would go through the roof… And then ladies and gentlemen, this race changes colors and all roles are totally reversed… The second horses in this race will become the primary determining factors to the race outcome and the driving force of the odds…
Wow…Ain’t this some exciting stuff…

So the genrals all boil down to “the second horses in the race…” The odds go up expeditiously with the second black and white horse in the race… Wow, can you see that graphic - Black male/white female vs White male/black female… Yes the bookies are going crazy…
What are the odds that we will ever see this happen???

Great…
Really Great…

And not only are the bookies going crazy, the media frenzy around it would be buzzing like a swarm of bees… The primary news networks would be pushing for the “Veep debates…” Wow, can you imagine what these debates would be like??? No more “kitchen sink” being thrown but the phrase “horse manure” comes to mind… And most importantly this race will be good for the country… A nation that is really in a transitional period where cultures and positions and economics are all in major need of being revamped, it is time for the female perspective… I believe the “Veep debates” would speak volumes of where we are headed politically and what the “zero kidds” generation will record on their video phones…

Wow…
Ain’t this some exciting stuff…

Now you know I like to keep it exciting… So if “Ms Hill” is the second horse in the Dems ticket then what about “Mr Hill???”

Wow, “Mr Hill!!!”

Check it,
I believe this is what is really bothering “Bill” in the first place, being diminished to “Mr Hill!!!” You know he has a legacy to protect or at least to maintain…So what happens to “Bill???”
Bill should get a grip…
Use your right hand... LOL
He is the very last horse in this race…Dah!!!

Maybe he should take a line from “Ms BO” playbook, be supportive…
I know it is tough for “Bill” to take “the last horse in the race” position but “it is what it is…” Or “Mr Hill” can keep going through the many different mood swings of PMS (Power, Money, and Sex)…

Hey this could be a pretty good bet, bringing some very good odds…
Let see, will “Bill” keep it together or will “Mr Hill” fall off the very last horse in the race???

Wow…
This is some pretty exciting stuff…

“Do you feel me???”
“Do you???”
“Do you feel like I do???” (Come on Peter and WIll-I-Am… Do this thing…)
“Let me hear you say,“Yes, yes, yes we can!!!”"

“The second horses in the race…”

"The Women In Black..."

Do you???
Do you???
Do you feel the way I do???

A cultural collide of consciousness and movement… And a cultural unification of generations, the sixties – zero kids coalition…

Wow…
Ain't this some good stuff???

This ain't the sixties kids generation, this is the “zero kids generation!”
And like the sixties kids, the zero kids are forging a new tomorrow while making a cell phone video clip of “the new color of Unity” for You Tube… Watch out world, the zero kids are now on board, and throttling up… They have decided not to be known by the designator of their generation (zero), but to write in history a new measurement for their designator…

Wow…
Do you feel me???
DO you???
Do you feel like I do??? (sixties kids song)If so,
Let me hear you say, “Yes, yes, yes we can…” (with a zero kids hook)

"Do you feel like I Do???" 2

2008-06-30T08:44:00.002-04:00

Wow...

All I could think of was, culturally I am just like all those people standing there at the "Unity Fest", just another "hope deprived" citizen in desperate need of "change we all can believe in..."
Oh the love...
The Love...
The love was so thick you could cut it with a knife...

Some say, "It was simply another photo-op..."
I say it was more than that...
It was something I could feel...

A vibe I could feel reverberating Though my consciousness... It was the warm and fuzzy mixed with the rough and tough to create a perfect cocktail that made me want to "Shake a tail feather..."

I just need to know one thing, "is there anyone out there that feels the way I do???"
Huh???
"Do you feel like I do???"
If so...
Let me hear you say, "Yes, yes, yes we can!!!"

Vibe baby!!!

Vibe!!!

Wow...
Ain't this some exciting stuff or what...

OK...Maybe everyone wasn't as happy as others with all this "unity vibe" all around...
But (Another big but in the room) Bill will get over it...
He's resilient...
He is the ultimate politician...
He lives by an old school principle my pastor spelled out perfectly today in his sermon (not a political message),

"Power, Money, and Sex(PMS)!!!"

PMS baby...
Need I say more???
I didn't think so...

But Obama and Hillary are moving forward with this "new color of unity video clip" for a better tomorrow... No this ain't the sixties, it's the zero Kidd's generation
video clip moment in history...
And this generation is making their own video clip for the future news script they want they kidds to see a generation from now... Cells phones are humming, ipods are volumed up, and everybody is "shaking a tail feather" to the vibe of a new generation taking their proper place in history...

Wow...
This ain't the sixties, it's the "Zero kids generation!"
And they are singing a "sixties kidds song" with a "zero kids generation hook!"

"Do you feel like I do??? (sixties kidds song)
Yes, yes, yes we can???" (zero kidds hook)

Awesome baby!!!

Awesome!!!

Peter must be jumping up and down with the many from his generation who have embraced the zero kidds generation movement...
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the "Zero kidds generation movement!" "The new color of unity" that is throttling up behind their symbols of unity "the Obama/Hillary unity ticket..."

WOw...
Can you feel the vibe???
"I just want to know, "do you feel the way I do???""
"DO you???"
"Do you???"
"Yes, yes, yes we can..."

Ain't this some good stuff...

"Do you feel like I Do???"

"Do you feel like I Do???"

2008-06-30T00:15:00.006-04:00

Wow...
Ain't this some really exciting stuff...
So what about the "Unity Fest?"
Wasn't that the best...
I screamed out loud, "Yes we can" as Obama and Hillary painted the "New color of Unity" for all the world to see...

Wow...

All I could think of was, culturally I am just like all those people standing there at the "Unity Fest", just another "hope deprived" citizen in desperate need of "change we all can believe in..."
Oh the love...
The Love...

Can you feel the vibe???
"I just want to know, "do you feel the way I do???""
"DO you???"
"Do you???"
"Yes, yes, yes we can..."

Aint this some good stuff...

Ok, so there was another person that wasn't feeling the vibe... There is another person who can not say, "he feels like I do..."
You got it, J. Mc...

Oops so!!!

But (here goes that big but in the room) J. Mc has a right not to be happy about all this "unity" the Dems are celebrating...
Yes celebrating!!!
Unity has been the strength of the Reps for decades... It was the party of Ronnie that always showed a strong unified front... But not this time, not this campaign, and most importantly; not this people...
So the Dems are "partying like Rock Stars," while the Reps are trying to convince Condie to be their secret weapon...
Dah, thus the secrecy over their potential VP candidates...

Wow...
This stuff just keeps getting gooder and gooder...
But before I go any further I just want to know,
"do you feel like I do???"
"Do you, do you feel like I do???"
If so, Let me hear you say, "yes, yes, yes we can!!!"

Wow...
Is this really exciting stuff or what???

But (and there is that big but in the room again) there is yet another person(s) that is not extremely happy with this "Unity Fest!!!" Yes, you got it, "the status qua Reps that can see their reign slowly coming to an end because of their failed policies...

There you have it, the Dems are dancing in the street and the Reps are struggling to get a message...
Wow...

"Do you feel like I do???"

"What does "Flip Flops" have to do with a "Wedgie???""

2008-06-25T20:18:00.007-04:00

Wow...

This stuff just keeps getting more and more exciting everyday...
It is obvious that we are on the eve of a "Cultural Phenomenon" like we have never seen before...

But (yes, the great big but in the room...) let me clear some "culturally conscious airspace..." Why does everyone have their "panties in a wedgie" over "flip flops?"
Come on, flip flops???
Ok, just slow down, take a deep breath, then reach down and politely pull your wedgie out...

"Wedgies, oooh!!!" :)

Come on ya'll, lets get really real! Things must be really slow on the big news flat screen on the wall... Check this, when things change (panties get into a wedgie for example) then one must make an adjustment...

Dah...

Need I say more??? I didn't think so...

Ok, back to the excitement of the day...
I am eagerly awaiting the happenings of every days events... The Dems are for the first time, in a long time, throttling up and up and up... They are partying like "rock stars" in front of hope starved crowds of voters "cheering for change..."

Yes, crowds and crowds of voters chanting to the top of their lungs,"Yes we can!!!"

WOw... Aint this some really really exciting stuff!!!

Now "Unity N.H." aint no "Hope Ark." Neither is it the "poor neighborhoods of Chi-town..." But it is the place where a new generation Clinton and a Brotha named Obama will forge a union like the world has never seen before... Talking about "Fried Chicken Corn Bread Collard Greens, how about those Black eyed Peas??? Yum Yum!!! :) Where "hometown country folks" will get to mingle with some "Starbucks mocha latte" sipping city dwellers...

Wow... Aint this some exciting stuff???

Now, is this the beginning of something big??? Only time will tell, but ( and here we go another big but in the room) it is a time for the Dems to have a "great big group hug!!!"
Wow... This is going to be a time for the Clintons to become conscious of the fact that it is Obama that is the nominee and they need to totally get on board... That goes the same for Bill!!!
Enough said???

So Lets give "Unity" a chance...

Oh wow, aint this some exciting stuff...

Now you know I like to keep it exciting... So lets get off of John A. and take him at his word... And his words were very powerful in defense of African Americans... I hope he attends the "Unity Fest!"
Then there is Ralph N. who seems to believe he has cornered the market on "Blackness!" I think he should be asked to attend the "Unity Fest" so he can hear the original white brotha do what he does best - "get his foot out of his month..."
And most importantly, please invite all the funders who love Hillary more than Obama, so they can "bail" Hillary out... :)
Ok, last but not least, please invite all the Reps so they can see how true "Unity" feels... If nothing else, they can share some "FRied Chicken, corn beard, collard Greens, what about them black-eyed peas" with lemon-aid and mocha latte...:)

LOL...

But again...

"What does "Flip Flops" have to do with a Wedgie?"

"In Jesse's Shadow..."

2008-06-22T18:45:00.003-04:00

Wow...

This stuff keeps getting gooder and gooder... So culturally, we have come full circle... We have a black man and a white woman making "mad" history in the most significant political race this generation has ever known...

Wow, this stuff gets more and more exciting every minute... Stuff like "Ms O" got that "slip" fixed and so did Bill (slip of the lip...LOL!!!)... Stuff like "the woman factor" is a "strong black woman that speaks blacks..." And stuff like, now we are all sitting on the eve of a marriage between Titans that could rewrite the rules of politics and not to mention history...

Wow, this is so exciting stuff...

But one cannot be amiss of "the what was" that allowed "the what is" to be... When one thinks of the ground works that gave way to this day, one must rewind the video tape a few decades...

Yes, a few decades???

Yes, back to when another Clinton was a governor and a black man ran on the mantra

"keep hope alive..."

A time when blacks and whites were finding themselves and testing their limits... A time when the old and the new first began to merge into the same lane without a traffic jam...

And a time when a young black lawyer caught the vibe of a wave that he has kept alive and rode until this day... Yes, there are a lot of people standing "in Jesse's shadow..." These of "the what was, the what is, and the what is to be..."

They are all standing in Jesse's shadow...

But (opp there is that big but) where is Jesse...

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with a very influential black man that has his finger on the pulse of "the what was, the what is, and the what is to be!" MrH reminded me that before there was an Obama, there was a Jesse. And before there was "the audacity of hope" there was Jesse's mantra "keep hope alive..."
And before a Clinton ever stood in the oval office there was Jesse's "Rainbow push coalition" calling for the change the world had never seen before...

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, a lot of people are standing in Jesse's shadow...

But, (and here is that big bodacious butt again) where is Jesse???

Culturally, Jesse's shadow is the place where the "conscious" found direction... In Jesse's shadow is where an African American kid from a broken home found a wave he could ride into a tsunami... In Jesse's shadow is the place where a people of color dared to hope when they did not have the audacity to do so...

Yes, and it was in Jesse's shadow where a white man from Arkansas was coned the first black president of the United States...

Wow, Jesse cast a big shadow...

But ( here is another one of those big black bodacious butts in the room) where is Jesse???

Where is the father of "hope" for a people lost on the road to consciousness... Where is the man that inspire a people to reach for something bigger than ones-self especially if no one of color had done it before... Where is the man who through his diplomatic rhetoric was able to negotiate the freedom of those imprisoned soldiers around the world...

Where is the man, Jesse???

Regardless of where he is, culturally there are conscious people still standing "in Jesse's shadow..." Conscious of the fact that "the what is to be" is a direct result of "the what was..." And "the what is" is engulfed by a shadow made by a man named Jesse...

Wow...

Now that's some good stuff...

You know me, I like to keep it exciting...

In Jesse's shadow you have a black man and a white woman on tour... What a blast this is going to be... History will be made right before my eyes... "Ms O" will probably dance out of her slip, Bill will keep his lips zipped, and we will all be in the cell phone video of a new generation... And lets not forget the millions of the zero year kids generation (black and white; male and female) who will be blasting their ipod to their new mantra

"Yes we can!!!"

Wow ain't this is some exciting stuff...

And the Dems will party like rock stars!!!

Wow...

All this an more...

Standing "In Jesse's Shadow..."

"Ms O, Tis yo Slip Hanging III?"

2008-05-05T02:29:00.003-04:00

Wow!!!
Ain't these some exciting times...
A lot has transpired since I last culturally expressed myself...
So we have a lot to catch up on...

But let me start by saying,

"Ms O, Tis yo slip hanging???"

Wow!!!

Cultural Clashes everywhere...
From the Cultural divide of the black preaching style vs political correctness - to - the divisive parallels of the old vs the young... We are seeing the "rubber hit the road" kind of politic now where a spade is most certainly being called a spade... Now whether that spade is an entrenching tool or a card game is the problem...

You see culturally everything boils down to perspective...

Please allow me go lateral here for a moment...
I heard a preacher say recently that in respect to the "Gospel according to Ms O," Obama the man... He made the observation that the "Gospel according to Ms O" refers one of the largest churches in the world... Where the sermon is preached to millions daily... No offering plate passed, tuning in is enough... I asked this highly respect educated man to elaborate further...

Culturally speaking a minister or pastor is one who feeds the hungry, comforts the needed, gives shelter to the shelter less, and cloth the naked... He said Ms O has done all these things and more... Not only that, he said, Ms O has entertained Kings and Queens... Ms O, is a Cultural phenom... A quintessential woman ordained by God for such a time as this...

Wow!!!
I never thought of "Ms O" in this light before... But I now can see exactly what he meant...

Never less,

Ms O, tis yo slip Hanging???

I'm back...
Let's see, where do I begin???
Culturally, the last month has been a "cultural train wreck and a political disaster..."
I deliberately stayed out of the fray hoping that someone would take the high road and bring it to an end...
But no one did...
Where is John and Elizabeth when you need them???
The Dems have become home wreckers and are in violation of domestic abuse... The Leaders are seem to be afraid to step in and demand order...
The Clintons are sling mud and Obama is running for cover... The Reps are sitting back enjoying the Drama...
So what is the Dems strategy...
Well, from my perspective, they don't have one...
How can this be???
How do the Dems expect to win in the end if there is no end in sight???

Wow!!!

Ms O, tis yo slip hanging???

There is a slip up somewhere and someone needs to address it...
Or let it hang and the end result will be a fashion disaster...
Does anyone feel me...
Can you catch my vibe...

If Obama is the one, then he is going to have to stop running from mud... Take it from me, it will wash off...
Now is the time for a knock-out blow...
I said once before that "politics is not for the weak at heart..."
Obama is going to have to bring out the "big guns" again to answer the call with overwhelming force...
Squash the Clinton machine once and for all...
If not, neither Dem will have enough left to defeat anyone in the fall...
I believe the one thing they are both forgetting is the third person in the race...
The third person is John's potential VP...
This person could easily be the scale tipper... If John comes out with someone on the level of Condelesa Rice, it could be enough to give him a new look... The Dems must remember, a Condelesa is history twice in one person... And it is quite apparent that if John wins, he is likely to place a lot of responsibility on his VP... This would position this person to be the next CNC...
So you see, someone needs to stand up and knock this ball out of the park... If not John will be able to bunt it in for a win...
Culturally speaking, the Clinton Camp has been a quick study of the cultural divide Obama effectively took advantage of early on... Then it was Hillary that looked out of sink (no misspell) so she threw it at Obama... Now it is Obama that has ducked too many times to know which way is up... If either candidate is going to be effective in the fall, he or she will have to start sharpening their skills for the Reps... What works on Dems will not work on Reps...
So this could really end up in a sad story for the Dems if they are not careful...
The ironic thing here is the Dems are the usually the one who disliked the kinds of tactics the Clinton Camp has used against Obama... These tactics are simply food for the Reps to defeat Obama if he does end up with the nom , (sometime in Oct)... Dahhhhhh!!!

Wow!!!

Ms O, Tis your slip hanging???

It sure is and how...
If Obama is the one, then he is the one that need a lot of help right now...
Obama prides himself on his good judgement...
I don't believe the Rev Wright saga puts his judgement in question... But (wow the first but in the room), how he handles his campaign from this point on will speak volumes about his ability and judgement in pressure situations... Obama is in the final games of the playoffs and he has got to put away now in order to have enough time to recuperate for the big game...
Obama need "Big Mo" again...
Obama must remember how easy things were when He had "Big Mo" on his side...
It was a down slide...
Hillary was the one throttling back then and has had to every since... Obama enjoyed the easy ride and now is feeling the fuel drain of having to throttle harder than ever before... And at these fuel prices throttling is quite expensive...
So Obama is at a "must do" point in his campaign... Obama must do something and do it soon in order to keep the faith and trust of the American people... A lot is at stake here and every minute counts...
We know that the Clintons are willing to do a "Thelma and Louise" on this campaign if necessary...
So Obama is going to have to do a "walking tall" to take back territory...

Wow!!!

What a picture...
But this is what we call our Political Process...
This Process is designed to give us the best candidate... Now it seems like the best candidate is the one that can sling to most mud at his opponent... The big problem the Dems have is that all the mud is being thrown in the house...
Who is going to clean this mess up???
Dahhhhhhh...

We will have to wait and see...
Now to lighten things up a little...
And you all know I like to keep it exciting, check this out...
I predict that there is going to be a rally of the rich, popular, and famous from every walk of life to put Obama over the top... This will be a testament to the dislike of mud sling and character assassination the Clinton Camp has forge ahead with for the last month...
The "Culturally Conscious" will make the statement that it is still about the people and not politics as usual...
Tell them you heard it here first...

And now we know what church Obama is going to join now...
The Church of "Ms O!"

Well that is that...
Can you feel me...
Somebody say, "Yes, yes, yes we can!!!"
Touch your neighbor and tell them, "Yes, yes, yes we can!!!"

Wow!!!
This is some exciting stuff...

"Ms O, Tis yo Slip Hanging?"

"The Audacity of the "House Niggers!!!""

2008-03-22T21:19:00.001-04:00

As I listened to several different viewpoints of Obama’s Historical speech, I realized it was time to address this issue head-on… Let me say, I am not speaking for all African Americans… I am speaking as one who believes that “we as a culture” have to take a hard look at ourselves sometime…
And if the shoe fits, well then…
If not pass it by… Be honest!!!

Let’s start by saying that Obama’s Pastor had the right to say everything he said… That’s why we call this America… This is the only nation on the planet where one can speak their mind without threat of being put in jail…
It’s called the “First Amendment…”
Dahhhhhhhh!!!

Also for the simple fact that the Pastor is ex-military, has a certain amount of frustration from the spill over of the thoughts of his comrades in harms way now… It is almost impossible for ones who has put on the uniform to not feel the pains and frustrations of the soldiers in harms way…
Soldier PTSD is for real…
And if you have not been there, you don’t have a clue as to what I am speaking of…
But that’s another post…

Another point about Obama’s Pastor is that spoke his words from the pulpit… Men called of God are tools of God…
The Lord works in misterious ways…
No-one can deny that if God had not worked in this way, Senator Barack Obama would not have made this historical speech…
Hummmmmmm!!!

So now we are here at this point in time where history has already recorded this “call to order.” We the people of the United States of American to deal with our race issues must openly and honestly deal with them head on… We cannot and need not turn back the hands of time…
The call has already gone out…

“So let’s have at it…

“Yes, what “Jack Nicholson” said (Costella) about “niggers” in the movie “The Departed” is a very powerful statement…
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/4492/THE-DEPARTED-script…
(Bottom of Page 1)

“That’s what niggers don’t realize. If I got one thing against the black chaps it’s this. No one gives it to you. You have to take it.”

http://culturallyconscious.blogspot.com/2007/11/is-jack-right.html

Again I have to say that this is a powerful statement… It is blunt and direct and hard to swallow, but a powerful statement yet the same… I was reminded of this statement while listening to hardball with Chris… One of his guest was “Pat Buchannon!” Every body know Pat, who is a regular on that show… As I listened to the remarks of these two white men, I realized that they can only effectively deal with issues in their communities… It is up to black people to deal with issues in our communities… It was refreshing to hear them talk with such open candor, but (yes, the great big but in the room.) they were talking about their community…
What about my community???
What about people that look like me???

Well, this train of thought caused me to reminisce on the challenges I have had getting anything done in my community… These guys where talking about how this part of their community works and that part of their community works… I am thinking to myself, I can’t even get my Representative to call me back… This is what is wrong with my community…

So Obama was right when he said that we can’t make the mistake(s) of his Pastor… And one of those very significant mistakes is to point a finger at the other side of the house when our side ain’t in order…

Hummmmmm!!!

So when I look back over the last forty years, I see countless situations where “The Audacity of the “House Niggers”" have failed our own community…

Ok, if it’s about race issues then the critique starts at home first…

So let’ have at it…

What do I mean by “House Niggers???” Well as most of us know that during the time of slavery there were the “field niggers” who worked in the fields and the “house niggers” who worked in the master’s house… The field nigger was guaranteed to stay dirty, cold, and hot with lots of hard labor from sun up to sun down… The house nigger was guaranteed a lot better lifestyle with all the benefits of cleanliness, warmth, and plenty to eat… The differences between the two lifestyles were drastic… The field nigger often times carried resentment to the house nigger… A great depiction of this fact was very obvious in the Haley Barry character in the movie, “Queen!” In the movie, Haley played the part of a house nigger who found herself among the field niggers when the “Civil War” ended slavery which made her an out cast… Haley’s character uttered the line,
“I’s nigra too,” to make the point of how the field niggers felt about the house niggers…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen:_The_Story_of_an_American_Family

Now we have black members of the House of Representative on the state and federal level who are “House Niggers!” They are voted in by the field niggers who work hard everyday to make ends meet… The field niggers expect the “House Niggers” to be graceous to them and help them in any way they can… But instead it seems that for the most part the “House Niggers” totally forget the field niggers until it is time to be voted in again…

Let me speak plainly… What Pat said on Hardball in essence was, “I don’t want to hear about how bad the blacks have had it in this country for the last forty years. We have given them “House Niggers” to address their needs…”
And guess what, I hate to say it but (yes, the big Black But in the room) Pat is right…”

If black folks have an argument about anything, we must first look within to see where the problem is… How is it that we have had all these superstar athletes, movies stars, singers, and lawyers; all “House Niggers,” and we are still blaming the other side of the house for our problems…
The other side of the house says, “what about all these superstars (House Niggers) your communities have???
Why aren’t they taking care of you???
Good question, “Why aren’t they???”

The line in the movie “Departed” says that the other side of the house thinks we are stupid if we don’t take care of our own…
And they are right…
I have a non-profit… I am sure several black folk have non-profits as well, but (yes, again the big Fat Black But in the Room!) we can’t get these superstars to contribute money to our non-profits to help us help our communities… Who’s the blame, the other side of the house???
I don’t think so…

The blame is “the Audacity of the “House Niggers”" to forget the field niggers until they need us…
What is that about???
Remember we are talking race here…
Obama gave us the permission…
So let’s have at it…

I will give you a prime example of a “House Nigger” failing the field niggers…
The Jena 6 case…
I can hear you now saying, “I knew he was going there…”
You have got that right and I hope you feel the sting…
Young mens lives are ruined because a “House Nigger” by the name of Donald Washington - Federal Attorney of Louisiana, who was appointed by President Bush failed the “field niggers” when they needed him most… I believe most of you know the story how this one “House Nigger” had the responsibility to make a case that what was going on in Jena was a hate crime and the feds should have stepped in but (yes, ladies and gentlemen here is the Big fat BUt in the room) the “House Nigger” did nothing…

What was that about???
Can we blame the other side of the house because the “House Nigger” did not do anything???
I dare say not…
Look at the Duke 3 case…
Every white man with power to do something to help them guys win that case jumped in and did… From the state to the feds and through-out the system…
And we want to cry “racism!”
No! No! No!

Maybe we should do as another “House Nigger” who has not forgotten her position to the field niggers did when she addressed Donald Washington:

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee criticized Washington for not getting involved in the case by saying “I want you to tell me why you, the first black [Western District of Louisiana] U.S. district attorney, did not do more, and I want to know what you’re going to do to get Mychal Bell out of jail!”
http://www.civilrights.org/press_room/buzz_clips/civilrightsorg-stories/jena-6.html

It is the “House Niggers” we as a people must first get straight and let them know that we are no longer going to put up with less than the best from them…
Not this time!!!
Time is up for no representation…
Time is up for less incorporation…
Time is up for not being heard…
The field niggers have a mouthpiece, it is the “House Niggers…”
And when the “House Niggers” don’t speak for us then we can’t blame the other side of the house…
Oh no!!!
Not this time…
No baby, we are coming to you, “House Niggers!!!”

We are going to ask you the question, like Comgress woman Jackson asked, “I want you to tell me, “Why???”

Not this time…
It is not going to take another Jena for us to get meaner toward “The Audacity of the “House Niggers!!!”"
Not this time…
We are not going to sit still and say nothing when “Jack and Pat” can’t believe we are lashing out at a government who has given us the same opportunities to take what we need to be successful for forty years… They are saying, “you have the “House Niggers!!!” What are they doing???

If this sounds like a call to action…
Then so be it!!!
We get angry at “Bill Cosby” when he simply tells us the truth because we don’t want to hear it from a black man… But the fact still remains, “who are we going to blame???”
If we let the “House Niggers” not take care of the field niggers, who then are we to blame???
And even “House Niggers” don’t take care of other “House Niggers!”
Look at Rep. Cynthia Mckinney!
When she had the run in with the Capital Guards, she was cast out… She was thrown back in the field… This is a lesson for those who get to be a “House Nigger.” There is always the field…
But (yes, there is that big fat But again) if the “House Niggers” had stood up together, maybe a reprimand…???

Let me go lateral here for a minute…
I know so many women that would cut your arm off if you grab them… What Rep. Mckinney did was a “cultural response” to someone touching her that is built into her blackness… She could not resist the urge to “forcefully pull away” because it is apart of her “Cultural DNA Self Defense Mechanism!”
And every black woman I know have it…
Rep. Mckinney is the type of “House Nigger” that will not take back and not take down… But (yes again…Big Fat Black But in the room!) like “Bill Cosby,” who may I say has done his part and more to give back to the Black community, we throw them back to the field…

So you see as a people of color, we need to be more accountable to ourselves, our neighborhoods, and our country… I am not saying that a lot of us have not, but (and here we go again with this Big Fat Black But in the room!) if the shoe fits, put it on and change…

Obama openned the door… It is up to us to keep this door of dialogue open and move on through it to our next door of self improvement…
I have used the “House Nigger” metaphor to get your attention and to make a very serious point… I hope I have done just that…
If you are affended about this use of words, you should not be… “House Niggers” were apart of our not so distant “Cultural Past…” One that is not that far removed from us even today…

As of recent days, I have heard several commentators from the other side of the house make comments about hearing their ancestry use the “N” word on occaisons…
This was a direct result of Obama’s speech…
I hope to hear more dialogue from both sides of the house for all of us to find common ground and most importantly to heal our lands… 2 Chronicles 7:14

I hope this writing properly let the “House Niggers” realize that the field niggers are dependent on you to be there for us… I have been trying to get my House of Representative call me back for several month about a very serious problem I have, with no response…
I am depending on him to be there for me…
I am sure there are several other field niggers who are having the same problem… We can continue to blame the other side of the house or we can “say it loud, not this time!!!”

“House Niggers call the field niggers back…”

“We are depending on you to be our support…”

“The Audacity of the “House Niggers!!!”"

"Round 7: A Bit of Heaven and Hell!"

2008-02-19T14:30:00.002-05:00

Wow!!!

Round 7, who would have thought it would have lasted this long.
But this has got to be what Dr. King was talking about...
Here we have two Democratic contenders, one while and female; and the other black and male. Both fighting on equal turf for the "Tittle" of "World Leader!"

I hope Hillary wears her signature yellow and Obama his Dark Suite. This is going to be the best debate ever... Ladies and gentlemen, this is history being made right in front of our eyes. Some one said the other day, that it would not be good if this contest goes all the way to the Convention.

I beg the differ.

This is academia's dream... To have a living classroom where the students can observe and be actively involved in the political environment of the day. Politics is "CooL" again. Wow!!! That a newbie!!!
A new generation is being empower to take wing and fly. The old heads (as Baisden can say) are being forced to stop and listen. This "0" Kids generation is awake, alert, and ready for service...
This is exciting stuff...

It is a "Culture Revival!" Where the Past, Present, and Future all come together to breath new life into our "Cultural Consciousness" as a people... This Political process is a reality show's worst nightmare. "0" Kids are turning off their ipods, video games, and cell phones (actually, that might be a stretch.) :)
Either way, this is good stuff...

This next debate is going to be the most ferrous debate in decades.
You have "Give'em Hell Hillary!" vs "I believe I can Fly Obama!" After it is all over, he will probably wish he could, right off the stage. I am sure Hillary is cocked and fully loaded. Just think about it. Since the last debate, she has lost shamefully in every part of the country. Bill has gotten a bad rap for something he said in SC which has rendered him practically useless to her campaign. Chelsea has been smeared and push around by the over-reaching press. And now, Obama has all but sealed the deal with John Edwards for all his support.

Oh, it is going to be "High Anxiety Thursday"up there!!! I hope Wolf has his "Flak Jacket" from Iraq handy. He will probably need it starting immediately after the "Introduction..."

This is what Dr. King's dream was about. When two people that are different in every way (race, gender, age, class, statue) can come together in a ferrous debate and not be judged by any of these physical descriptions, but strictly on merit... Now this a dream and many years of work coming to fruition! These debates must go on until we have an undeputed winner... It is a great service to the American people. Huckabee is right, people deserve and should demand choice. Also as long as these debates continue, every one benefits. The candidates get stronger, battle tested, and fit; not to mention bruised, bloodied, and scorned...

And of course us, the spectators. We get to spend an evening with loved ones, family, and friends cheering on our favorite candidate in an holsome and humble way.
Yea, right!!!
If you think it is heated in the ring, you shouold show up at some of these debate parties... Folks be throwing stuff, calling names (nice names of course), and leave mad. Some couple can barely drive home together, much less sleep in the same room... And don't let it be two co-workers on different sides, it spills over to work the next day...
Wow!!!
Check this out, the one who is for Obama will make sure her "Yes we can" ringtone goes off at least a thousand time during the day... Home girl be callling herself just to get under Hillary's supporters skin... Oh but don't think the Hillary supporter aint ready... Homeboy goes out to the corner ringtone shop and get's "Give'em Hell Hillary" ringtone programmed into his phone... Oh you know it's on then... You know me, got to keep it interesting.

But some of these debate parties are "off the chain..." Now it's a shame that there will not be any $1000.00 ringside seats available to be scalped at $3000.00 each... But that only means no one can tell you to sit down or shut-up, or not applaud in your own family room with the big flat screen TV... :) And if they do you can put them out or knock them out or , you get my point...

But most importantly, we as a nation get to choose from the best of the best to lead us into a brighter future. Obama has done exploits as a newcomer on the National scene. He has not taken votes from anyone. He has energized a whole new group of voters to get involved. To stand-up and be counted... To let their voices be heard... One by one they have started what appears to becoming a movement... Time and action will tell but they are certainly on their way...

Now Hillary, has had to rethink the political process all together... Even rewrite lots of it to be able to navigate the swift moving currents of this campaign... Some very costly lessons for a "Sixties Kid" to have to relearn, but she has; and as my mother can say, she has gotten a "toe-grip." Now she is poised for a "come back..." And what a come back it will be... She has had to re-energize the base of the party... Kick some, revive some with oxygen, and prop some up but it seems they have finally realized this is not a 100 yard sprint but a marathon... (If you are in Obama's camp you say, "this is not a wave, but a TSunami.)

Either way, "Ground Zero" on thursday night will be "Live" in Austin Texas... The hottest spot on the planet... There will not be any rules, just ferrous debate...
And history will be made right in front of our eyes...

This time around, I'd be surprized if their podiums are not miles apart from each other. And no glass bottles allowed... And all in attendance will be searched for contraband that might be passed on to their candidate... You know like "M&Ms" or "Gummy Bears." These are great "Attention Getters" if you know what I mean... :)

No but seriously, a spirited debates is good for the Political Process... This is why we are called a "Democracy!" We can come together and aire our differences, arguments and disagreements in a civil democratic way. And at the end of the day still be civil...
And win, lose, or draw; we get back up the next day, mend to our wounds, put on our battle gear, and get back into the frey...
Oh, the beauty of it all...

So Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, and all our dear friends (a John McCain standard), as "Jakes" use to say, "Get Ready, Get Ready, Get, Get, Get, Ready.... It's goig to be on - on CNN - "Thursday Night Live" from Austin Tx...
I hope they have the DVDs on sell in the back after the service...
Oh, this ain't church...
My Bad!!!
It's a good thing this debate is not being held on wednesday night... A lot of churches would be empty...

All I can say is "Fried chicken, corn bread, collard greens; Somebody, please pass those Black-eyed-peas!!!"

Round Seven: A Bit of Heaven and Hell!!!
Be There are be square!!!

"Obama: Cult Leader!"

2008-02-15T20:54:00.002-05:00

There is an interesting article by Charles Krauthammer of the New York Daily News. It tries to describe the “Obama Effect” as something mysterious or cultish…

http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2008/02/15/2008-02-15_time_for_a_rude_awakening.html?page=1

If Obama is a cult leader then the leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties are too… The definition of a cult would apply to either one of these parties. In some situations the Republican party has acted more like a cult than any organization of recent history. Their most famous cult leader by Krauthammer analogy of a cult, would have been Ronald Reagan…

If anything, Obama has taped into a vein in American Culture that exposes a vast deficiency. I would like to believe that deficiency is more cultural than anything else. I have a philosophy that it’s impossible to reason with a hungry man… The flip side of this observation is, “the same man will flock to the hand that feeds him…”
Hummmm!!!

So apparently there are a lot of “hungry” people around. But what are they hungry for???
It must be “Hope!”
That’s what Obama is selling, “Hope!”

The article spot-lights the comments of “Hard Ball’s, Chris Matthews after the Potomac Primary.
The article reads:
“Until you hear Chris Matthews, who no longer has the excuse of youth, react to Obama’s Potomac primary victory speech with “My, I felt this thrill going up my leg.” When his MSNBC co-hosts tried to bail him out, he refused to recant. Not surprising for an acolyte who said that Obama “comes along, and he seems to have the answers.”

I was listening that night when Chris made that comment. I believe that he was feeling the void also. We must remember that for so long America has been no. 1 around the world. Americans don’t like being in second place…
This creates a void of hope and pride…
So Obama has bursted on the scene with the right message at the right time…

Hope!!!

As one who believes in the “Supernatural” and the “influences of the Ancestors,” Obama has the rhythum of the vibe. I wrote about this in an earlier post. The vibe is a rhythum that vibrates through-out the diapora from time and time and time again… This vibe is what cause people of the same rhythum to come together. So when Obama gets into this vibe the rhythum arouses the ancestors who act as repeaters through-out the diaspora calling out to people who are open to the vibe…

I don’t believe Obama realize the influence the ancestors have on his success. My fear is the same as in the news article though, that Obama will fall out of rhythum with the ancestors. You may wonder how this could happen???

It is simple!!!

Obama has a humbleness about himself which allows the ancestors to communicate through him. But I have observed several times when he seemed out of sinch. It could be due to fatigue, lack of focus, or self pride. In my opinion, this is proof that Obama does not have a full understanding of what he is experiencing. He is just riding the wave. The vibe of the ancestors influence is always presence but we are not always receptive or open to it… So what Chris Matthews felt is what I call “an Ancestral Touch!”

The Ancestors have been waiting on someone like Obama, but is Obama the one or did he just catch the vibe (wave)?
Hummmmm!!!

The way we will know that Obama is the one and can change the world is when he cause a masssive number of people to come together in one place from all over the world to hear the message… This is characteristic of the ancestors influence. When the rhythum of the vibe is repeated by the ancestors through-out the diaspora as the sound of the drum, people will hear it and answer…

In recent history we have seen this effect by only a few people. One of course it Dr. King. Dr. King was completely in tune with the ancestors and knew it… Thus the march on Washington…
Dr. King was so in tune with the ancestor that he preached his own eulogy.
Had the ancestors told him of his destiny?
Could he had change the outcome?
I believe the answer to both questions is yes…

The next example will be hard for some to swallow because of what they think of the organization but the ancestors don’t have a respect of person… That person is non other than Louis Farrakhan… Louis Farrakhan heard the ancestors call for the “Million Man March.” Farrakhan is a prime example of a man who caught he vibe of rhythum of the ancestors for a season…

I heard the call to go to the Million Man March but initially rejected the call because I am not a muslim. I questioned the call and rejected it again… I could not believe that the ancestors would want me to attend this march because I am a christian. Then I received a very strong “Ancestral Touch” which made me challenge the ancestors for validation. Needless to say, after making some demands of the ancestors, which were quickly answered, I found myself at the Million Man March…
I asked the ancestors why was Farrakhan (who let me say I have nothing against except I am not muslim) chosen to call this march… The ancestors let me know that the call went out and Farrakhan was the only one that answered it…
This fact was validated when I met a devout christian minister there. We both were surprised to see each other there… I asked him, “why are you here?” He said, “I answered the same call you did!”
I could say nothing, just smile!!!

This may sound creepy???
But if you are honest with yourself, you can remember a time when you felt something that was more than physical but spiritual for the lack of a better word…
This is what I believe Elder Mother Morrison was talking about when she said, Obama has that something…
So, if Obama is truly answering the call of the ancestors and know it, his popularity will continue to increase until he has accomplished what he is called to do… Now, on the other hand, if he is just riding the vibe (wave), like any wave he could fall off… I have not jumped on the Obama “Surf Board” yet because like many others, I believe Hillary has the “Tools” to better do the job…

Besides it took one Clinton to clean up after the first Bush! So who better to clean up after the second Bush… I did a earlier post an the subject called,

“Hillary, the Clean Up Woman!”

But if Obama is aware of what he is experiencing, it will become very apparent soon. Then as someone on hard ball said the other day, “It’s impossible to stop a Tsunami!”

Ok, now you know I like to keep it interesting… So, if Obama really is in tune with the ancestors, then he will truly unify the party by uniting with Hillary on the dream ticket… This will eliminate all tension… hummmmm!!!!

“Obama: Cult Leader?”

"The Carter and Obama Parallel!"

2008-02-14T09:30:00.001-05:00

Is this History repeating itself or what???

Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama have several similarities that parallel!!!
Let's lay out what we know President Carter faced as he came into his Presidency and thru-out:
1- Carter's presidency followed an embarrassing Republican tenure with Gerald Ford completing the impeached Richard Nixion's term...
2 - Carter also ran on change and being a Washington outsider...
3 - Carter was known as the smiling president (a nice southern governor with strong southern valves.)...
4 - Carter's term followed a very long hated war half-way around the world...
5 - Carter was faced with a problem with the Iran Hostage Crisis...
6 - Carter had to deal with fuel crisis and fluxuating prices...
7 - Carter had to deal with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan destablizing the region...

I believe that most American view Charter's Presidency a failure. Ronald Regan ran against him in 1981, winning with ease and locking down the presidency for the republicans for the next twelve years... Changer and the outsider combined to equal failure...

Now let's look at Obama and his potential presidency...
1 - Obama is running as an agent of change and Washington outsider just like Carter...
2 - Obama is following the very Unpopular Presidency of George Bush because of a costly war and poor economy...
3 - Obama will inherit a very poor relationship with Iran and for that matter, around the world...
4 - Obama will also have to deal with High Fuel cost and price fluxuations that effect all American citizens... Like Carter he could be blamed for all these problem...
5 - Obama will also inherit a very unpopular long war in Iraq and Afghanistan... There we see Afghanistan again...
6 - Obama is known as the gentleman or nice guy...
7 - Obama will have to overcome America's falling dollar and very high deficits brought on due poor oversight by the Bush White House and this costly war...

As you can see, these are turbulent times that must be navigated with skillful, time tested, tactics that protect us from the bad guys, improve the economy and create new jobs ... I believe Obama is a great orator but does Obama have the experience needed to navigate this ship through this fearful mine field???

Should we roll the dice?

Cross our fingers??

And take our chances???

I don't think so...

I believe Hillary has the experience, the skills, and the doggedness to "Clean-up" Bush's mess!!! It took a Clinton to clean-up the first Bush's mess and bring the economic back in the back and restore our reputation around the world... Let's let Hillary do "Be the Clean-up Woman!!!"

By the way, Carter was a Naval Officer...
Hummmmmm!!!

Now you know me, I like to keep it interesting... There is a way of accomplishing both...
Let's really make "His-Story and Her-Story... Now all together boys and girls, "HeIrS-Story!" And you know what that means... :)
Here we go again,

"The Dream Ticket!"

If Obama calls himself a unifier but can't start in his own house... Then Obama is as a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal... And you know what I mean...

"The Carter - Obama Parallel!"

Obama: Pass or No Pass on Drugs!!! John McCain will not give him a Pass!!!

2008-02-14T05:58:00.002-05:00

Today the “buzz” is the cat-fight fall-outs from the Grammy’s.
Usually the same old bull but this time the topics are quite interesting.

1 - The real “Queen of Soul” is pissed at “Ms B” (you know who I am talking about, stop playing.) for calling “Ms T” the “Queen.”

I must come to “Ms B’s” defense. She called “Ms T” the “Queen…” Which I took to mean the “Queen of Rock and Roll!”
Aretha, the Queen of Soul, Just wants a little “Respect?”
Where is “Ms O” when you need her???

2 - “Ms C” has got her panties in a wedgie over “The Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” girl receiving a grammy on the steps of “Rehab!”
“No! No! No! - Yes! Yes! Yes!”
Tell me it isn’t so???
I am afraid it is… :}

But (there goes that “Big But” in the room again…)
“Ms C,” who I love dearly, is also a former drug user and Grammy winner…
So I really don’t get it…
I guess she did not realize that the potential “Leader of the Free World” is also a “Grammy” winner and former drug user…

Come on “Ms C”, get a grip!!!
“Don’t be a hater!!!”

http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7010010761

You and “Ms Cherry tree,” are entertainers. Society expects you all to be in a daze most of the time. Look at the other “Ms B” (you know who I am talking about, in the news every day for going to the psych ward to be evaluated. Stop playing.) she sells more papers in a daze than you sell clean… Go Figure…

So I guess the phrase: “Join the Club,” is in order here…

But on a more serious note (as if I wasn’t serious before!)
did Obama get a temporay pass on the drug question???

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8T1IPAG0&show_article=1&catnum=0

I have reason for asking this question. “Ms B” and “Ms Cherry Tree” are not going to be making decisions that will effect the safety, health, and welfare of the Nation, maybe even the Planet. The decisions they make really only effect a very small amount of the populus…

If Obama wins the nomination, I don’t believe the Republicans are going to give him a pass. They, like Hillary, don’t have much ammo on him so what is the most obvious “POA.” (Come on, you know what I mean, “Point of Attack” (POA)… S.T.O.P. P.L.A.Y.I.N.G…)

As a prior military personnel, it is practically impossible to enter the military if you admit to have “used” drugs. “Used” is the optimum word here. If it is determined that you were a drug user then you can be “barred” from “high level security” jobs (Like President of the United States of America). http://usmilitary.about.com/od/joiningthemilitary/a/enlstandards2.htm

Hillary’s camp has treated Obama very gingerly on the subject. I don’t think a war hero is going to let him off that easily… They might, but I doubt it… Do you remember what John McCain said when asked about “woodstock,” something to the effect, “I am sure it was a pharmaceutical event that I could not attend because I was all tied up in a hotel far away.”

So this could be problematic for the Dems if John McCain takes it there…
And God forbid John McCain chooses Hukkabee as a running mate…
I can here the sermon now…
“What do we tell our children, “you can grow up to be just like the President… The shame of it all…”" As Minister Republican potential VP would say as he passed the offerring plate…

Obama: Pass or No Pass on Drug Question???

The Science of Momentum!

2008-02-12T22:48:00.000-05:00

Today in the political arena, we hear a lot about “Big Mo” (Big Momentum)! So what is the science behind momentum.
What causes it and what happens when it is gone.

Simply, momentum (p) equals mass (m) times (x) velocity (v)

or p = mv

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

What does this mean as it relates to this political process?
Let’s break it down like this…

Obama’s momentum is the effect of an outside force caused by the down”Hill!” Get it, “Down Hillary.”
Plain and simple. Momentum is what happens when your car stops on a “Hill.” When it starts to roll, it will gain momentum on the downhill slope. The problem with this situation is that when your car reach a point where there is no more “Hill” or slope, it will run out of momentum. Then it will come to a complete stop.

What does this mean in layman’s terms?
Momentum is not force but the effect force has on something. It is simply the effect natural forms have on an object. Why is this important?
Well if you just want to get your car off the “Hill” so you can park it on the side of the road, then momentum is what you need. If you want to go further than that, you will need force.

This is problematic for the Democratic Campaign if Obama’s momentum is the slide effect he is getting because he is rolling off the “Hill” (Hillary). What happens then when the “Hill” is no longer in the race. Momentum does not have force to regenerate the effect of movement…
Without force, then there is a stall…

Force is what causes something to move and accelerate…
Force is generated…

http://culturallyconscious.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

Back to your car! The engine cause force which propells you down the highway and up the hills. Another example of momentum, is when you go snow sledding. You carry your sled to the top of the “Hill” and sit down and let gravity and the snow surface take effect. Then down the “Hill” you go. Wheee!!!
But we all know, what happens at the bottom of the “Hill?”
That’s right, you run out of momentum and then you come to a stop…
This is what you expect to happen every time…
And it does…
The math never changes…
You slid down the “Hill” and stop at the bottom…
It’s all in the numbers…

But what happens when you run out of energy to carry that sled back to the top of the “Hill?”
You go home…
Even worst, what happens if you have a lot of snow but no “Hill?” You will have to find someone to pull you around (force) to give your sled movement.
If not, you don’t snow sled.

Now, Hillary (Hill) does not have momentum but she does have force. Hillary has been in the “underdog” position in this race, since “Ms O” endorsed Obama early on. Therefore, Hillary has had to earn or apply force for every vote. Which simply means, Hillary generates the energy to earn votes. It is not based on momentum…

So, here is an hypothetical situation…

Let’s just say for the sake of debate that, Obama’s momentum is in part an adverse effect against the “Hill.” If this is true in part, then if Hillary loses the nomination, Obama’s momentum could begin to really fade…
Without having to apply force or fuel to his campaign, how then would he move forward with the force necessary to beat John McCain in the general election?

Simply said, “Obama’s force has yet to be seen, but Hillary is throttling in every venue.”
The math does not lie…
With no momentum what is Obama’s fuel force???

You know me, connecting the dots…
Got to keep it interesting…

“The Science Of Mementum!”
Hummmmm!!!

"0."

2008-02-10T20:01:00.000-05:00

Wow!!!
Mission Conttrol: “The “Zero” (0) Kids Generation is on board “Future” (shuttle) and ready for lift off!!!”
It seems that the “0″ kids generation have gotten energized, they are on board, and turning up their ipods…

They have heard the ringtone, “Yes we can!!!”
And now they are showing up in massive numbers, ready to write their own music of change for their future…
They are creating cell phone video clips of their generation (and sending them to their moms) that their kids and grand kids will look back at on flat screens video frames on the ceiling…

Yes Mission Control: Get ready for “Throddle Up!”
This is their cultural matriculation!
The “0″ kids are now replacing the “sixties” kids as the most politically involved generation ever… They are changing the culture landscape for the 21 Century and the world will never look the same again…

And their Pied Piper is Barack “O”Bama!!!
Obama is giving merit to that “something” that Elder Mother Morrison spoke about…
This is important for Obama because he is relatively unknown with a short list of credentials. Obama has had to prove himself each step of the way…
If Obama gets the democratic nomination he will have to face off with John McCain…
Then Obama will need all the support he can muster from the “0″ kids generation in order to fuel the necessary force for the escape velocity he will need to overcome John McCain’s gravitational pull…

John McCain has a long list of credentials stretching back some sixty years…
People gravitate to him because of his declorated career and sacrifice…
He is a veteran and war hero…
He has over three decades in government service…
And he is a senior citizen…

In order for Obama to capture the heart of the America people, it will be by mobilizing the “0″ kids generation. He will have to be able to rally this generation (in a symbolic, if not literal march on Washington) in massive numbers to let this nation and the world hear the mantra of their generation , “Yes we can!!!”
This type of rally of the “0″ kids generation texting in one voice, “Yes we can,” will give credence to his strengths and salvation to his weaknesses. In effect, diminishing all the strengths of the Republican candidate John McCain!!!

But (and again the “Big But” in the room), can Obama keep this momentum going???

Now you know, my main interest in this political process is it’s “Cultural Dynamics!” There is a very obvious “cultural disfunction” that is apparent in the Clinton camp. Hillary is experiencing “something” that no one in a political campaign has ever had to factor in before…
The Cultural profile of an African American contender…
The Cultural pros and cons of the game as it relates to a person of color…
It is not that the Clinton Camp under estimated Obama, but simply they don’t understand Obama’s appeal due to his cultural community!!!
The Clintons are use to being the ones who stand up for Obama’s community, but now they find themselves on the outs…

In order for Hillary to beat (if it’s not already too late) Obama, she is going to have to take a crash course in “Cultural Consciousness!!! She is going to have to become conscious of the cultural landscape she is fighting on… She is actually running against herself by not knowing how to disect Obama’s cultural appeal…
Once Hillary become culturally conscious then she will easily be able to see the weak places in Obama’s armor… But (again here is that but) please allow me to say that Obama has planted his roots in deep now and it is going to be hard to root him out…

Earlier I referred to Obama as the “Pied Piper!”
Part symbolism and part fact…
Please allow me to explain my rationale…
Culturally, Obama has become the “0″ kids generation’s vision of hope for their future…
If Obama does gets the majority of the populus vote, but does not win the nomination. The “0″ kids will probably protest by nothing less than not going to the polls or going to the polls and voting for a non-democrat…
This is a cultural phenomenon that I refer to as a “Cultural Backlash!”
It all comes about because of a cultural first where a white woman and an African American man is competing for votes from the same cultural community…
In this case it is two different cultural communities combined…
Without a significant amount of votes from these cultural communities, individually or together, neither candidate would be able to win the general election…

Wow!!!
“Exciting stuff…”

But before anyone counts anyone out,
Remember, it ain’t over til the fat lady sings,
It ain’t over til the last bell rings,
It ain’t over til the checker flag fly.
It ain’t over till it’s over…

Wow!!!
“This is some exciting stuff…”

So Mission Control, We have ignition…
The “0″ kids generation is fired up and ready for blast off…

“0.”
