Morphological Confetti

The former Education Secretary, W illiam Bennett , used poor judgement when he used as an example aborting "every Black baby in this country" in order to reduce the crime rate. I really don't know what his intentions were when he made that comment. I do know that there are individuals in this country, some in high places, who wish they could do just that. Yes, we would like to think that things are different now, but race is still a volatile issue in America. The turn of events in New Orleans and comments like the one made by the former secretary prove just that. This is why we need to continue to march and fight for not only the rights of Blacks in this country, but human rights. We need to educate the masses and agitate the classes.

Artist: Slick Rick Album: The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick (1988) Song: Hey Young World "Love mean happiness... that once was strong, but due to society... even that’s turned wrong Times have changed... and it’s cool to look bummy and be a dumb dummy and disrespect your mummy. Have you forgotten... who put you on this earth? Who brought you up right... and who loved you since your birth? Reward is a brainwashed kid goin wild young little girls already have a child..."

I am sometimes as complex in my personality and life as this multicolored interpretation of Sigmund Freud by Andy Warhol . I'd explain it to you if I understood myself more.

It is impossible to discourage the real writers - they don't give a damn what you say, they're going to write. ~Sinclair Lewis ....and let the church say, Amen!

Life is about overcoming the predicament of human existence. It is conquering our human selves and moving past the vainglorious perceptions of who we are. It is endeavoring for a higher form of existence through self examination and spiritual awareness. If not, then why are we here?

In the Words of KRS-One, we must fight first for humanity then for the upliftment of Africa. I think that the idea here is to question every thing that you hear and read. Also, do your research. As for the state of Hip Hop music since 1989, the day of the ignorant rapper is here and he reigns supreme. KRS-One/Boogie Down Productions Ghetto Music: The Blueprint Of Hip Hop (June 1989) ".....The information we get today is just wack But ask yourself, why is that? The age of the ignorant rapper is done knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone The stereotype must be lost that love and peace and knowledge is soft Do away with that and understand one fact For love, peace must attack And attack real strong, stronger than war To conquer it and its law Mental pictures, stereotypes and fake history reinforces mystery And when mystery is reinforced That only means that knowledge has been lost When you know who you really are Peace and knowledge shines like a star I'm only showin you ...

I am so glad that it is Friday! It's hard for me to stay calm just thinking about the weekend. I think that I will relax tonight???? I don't know. My cousin wants me to meet him on U Street for some after 7 action, but I haven't decided. I hope that this Friday will be better than last. I had fun last week, but my Saturday was shut down because I was sick. It will be different this weekend. I'm staying healthy and clear from "vegetarian cooking." I'll do some writing and a little reading. Maybe I'll finish my short story that I've been working on?? Anyway, Have a great weekend! Pursue something that you've been procrastinating with. It's time for an action plan. Peace and God bless those affected by the hurricane.

There are a many myths circulating concerning just every day people and I am here to say that sh#@ ain’t true! I’m not saying that this is the gospel, but this has been my experience based on personal accounts and observations: Black people don’t support each other Native Americans are extinct Africans think that they are better than African Americans African Americans think that they are better than Africans All Asians know some form of Karate All Asians are smart Most people from the Middle East and North Africa are religious fanatics If you have Italian heritage you are probably connected with the Mafia White men can’t fight White people are mostly rich and very few are on welfare Black women are easy to sleep with Black women are evil and extremely unreasonable Latinos are baby making machines Most young Latino men are affiliated with a gang Irish people drink too much People from the India don’t use deodorant Finally, most Black people are for Reparations and Affirmative Action Pl...

Ok. The media coverage of what's happening in New Orleans is completely sensationalized. I mean to the point of it being a blockbuster movie. As a matter of fact, I don't think that I've seen this much media coverage since the sniper shootings in DC. What is most interesting is that Hurricane Katrina hit a major city. This is not often seen. Storms like this usually hit small communities in the Southeast or the Midwest. Larger towns and cities are usually on the viewing end of the storm. This storm affected a large segment of New Orleans poor and disenfranchised residence. They are largely African American, but the media refers to them as "refugees." Now, I know that the definition for refugee refers to people fleeing their home from danger or natural disaster; this is what is happening. However, I have never heard the media refer to anyone here in the United States as refugees. Is it because they are of African descent? Perhaps they resemble their African brother...
