5 Honest Things I Have To Tell About Myself.

This is hard but im gonna get butt ass raw for this one.

#1 - I have an archaic way of looking at relationships

i have to have romance in my relationships.

i dont feel like im a real man if the woman has to pay for stuff and take care of me like im some damn child.

i have to wear the pants, i have to wine and dine, i have to make the decisions.

i want control (not complete control but i want to be the leader).


#2 - I finally got over my obsession with my ex

it took a long time for me to get over this woman but i havent called her in like over 3 months and i have no intention of calling her or getting back with her at all

i was with this woman for over three and a half years and i was absolutely obsessed with her

i called her damn near everyday we were in the relationship.

when i saw her i was all up on her

when i didnt get my way i would whine and complain, break shit, holler and scream to the top of my lungs i even put my hands on her a few times (that stoped when she told my father about all the times i hit her and harrased her)

she's a sagitarius (free spirits) so she didnt let a lot of things get to her

she kept it real a lot and in most cases i couldnt handle the truth

and i can get psycho when i feel that things arent the way they should be

all in all she didnt hold a grudge and neither did i

we both just grew up and naturally went our seperate ways


#3 - I masterbate over 5 times a week

sorry if you are disgusted by this but im trying to be more honest with myself

maybe if talk about this more then ll be able to stop myslef from doing this

this is a major problem and has definately caused my sex life not to be as good as it should be

actually ive masterbated so much in my life that in most cases the only time i can cum is when im gratifying myself (i need to tak to a sexologists about this or something).

It's very difficult for me to bust a nut during the sexual experience.

Thats because i've been watching porn and getting turned on by it since i was like 11

if you have any kids in the house PLEASE HIDE THE PORN VERY CAREFULLY (there are toooooo many screwed up kids in the world already)

#4 - I think misguided feminism has tried to turn the boys and men in this society into girls

i dont have enough time to really talk about this right now but this reaaaaaly bothers me.

there is nowhere in this society where a man can be a man anymore (especially a black man)

men and little boys are completely different from women and girls.

men like to dominate, they like to be aggressive, the are loud and boisterous, they are egotistical and chauvanistic.

they are also fair, most have the ability to look at things objectively without putting too much emotion in it.

i dont want to learn how to express my feelings more, i dont want to watch my tongue whenever i go out, i want to be able to speak my goddamn mind whenever i want

and if you dont like it FUCK YOU, FUCK FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU!

Men should be accepted for who we are just like women shoud be accepted for who they are

STOP TRYING TO TURN THE BROTHERS INTO PANSIES!


#5 - I've been a nice guy all my life and im sick of it

Within these last couple of months it's like ive made a complete 180 transformation

I have changed profoundly in a way that i will never know

i used to be intimidated by women who were self sufficient because throughout my adult life iva always struggled to make a decent living

but becauseof some altercations ive had with others and because of some books ive read ive completely changed the way i look at the world

i am no longer intimidated by women

i can freely express myself with any woma without caring what they think

most men cant do this

monst men are afraid of being ostracized by women

im no longer afraid in fact i am grateful for the people who have stoped coming to my blog and have stoped welcoming me to their blog because they didnt really give a shit about me or the things i was saying anyway so they did me a favor

many men are afraid to assert their masculity when it comes to dealing with a woman and i think that is very sad

i can proudly say that i am not one of those men anymore

peace out

Gotta Go.

This Dude Is Serious As A Heart Attack

The funniest thing i ever seen on youtube.

But he is the truest.

If you had an unlimited amount of resources, how would you use it to change the world?

Just wondering.

I dont want to respond until i hear some thoughts on the issue.

Peace!

Assimilation Vs Tradition

Afrikan people have been forced to assimilate no matter where we have been on this earth.

We have had to take up the white mans rules, his customs and his ways even on the mother continent.

I was watching a movie called "BURN" starring Marlon Brando made in the 70's about a british mercenary who was paid to go to an island in the Caribbean and start an uprising amongst the blacks there to divide the country into civil war.

The portuguese had control of the nation but the poruguese natives there wanted to start up their own nation with their own government and the freedom to trade with whoever they wanted.

So the mercenary trained up this black guy to rebel against the portuguese and eventually the country was divided.

The two opposing governments (the new republic made from the portuguese whites and the new black republic) came together to discuss how they could live in peace.

But the black general didnt want to live by the white mans laws, rules and customs so he chose to remain seperate and he was as a result forced to give up his rule.

The whites took over because he and his people didnt want to assimilate.

But the mercenary told him straight out that civilization belongs to the white man now.

And he must follow his rules in order to get ahead.



I dont think that is true.

While i do believe that we should use some of their tactics to build our civilization and run our own nations, i think when it comes to our traditional ways of doing things we should follow our own customs, culture, rules and traditions.

I can see why so many whites truly believe that they are superior to us.

We value the things that they make for themselves.

We value their cars, clothes, shoes, gizmos and technology.

And i can see why: some of what they ahve created is far more superior to anything ever produced in history.

But we also value their family system (mother, father and children living in a home) which is alien to the family household our ancestors created (extended family with grandparents, aunts uncles cousins and living together).

We value their literature and their art without valuing our own.

We value their social customs and religions without reckognizing we had customs and religions of our own before we were taken here and forced to live under their rules.

The white man hasnt accepted other peoples traditions and yet the stay on top of the world.

The japanese with all of the problems they've had from europeans still held on to their traditions and yet they are one of the main economic powers in the world.

There are some things we have to accept (like the fact that we have to follow their laws and rules in order to stay out of jail).

But i think we should seriously think about uprooting and taking back some of our ancient afrikan traditions.

For instance in many west afrikan nations during and prior to the slave trade, many afrikans didnt know what a cold was because we used traditional herbs to cure ourselves of all types of diseases.

Afrikan doctors and universities were some of the best on earth to the point where peolple from as far as europe and the middle east came to afrika to study techniques and herbal formulas created by afrikans.

I can go on and on but the point im trying to make is look at what we created ourselves and you'll see that what we had, in many ways, is far superior to the lifestyles we presently lead.

We need to look back in our history and find the best of what we had and find some way to update it so that we can use it again.

Blast From The Past.

Mills Brothers - I Ain't Got Nobody (full movie)




Chuck Berry - Oh Baby Doll




Jimi Hendrix - I'm a Man (RARE 1965 LIVE)

Just because you are old doesnt mean that you are wise.

Ive learned something very important from listening to my grandmother talk.

I've learned that wisdon definately doesnt come with age.

I was over my grandmothers house painting her living room when we got into a long argument over who is to blame for our condition us or the white supremacists who run this government and continuously try to keep us down as a people.

Sometimes i can be a little to opinionated lol.

Everytime she came at me with a statement i challenged her on it.

She said that mexicans are hardworking people and they come over here to work.

I said maybe thats because mexico is so wretchedly poor that they will risk there lives to come over here just to have a small chance to feed themselves.

Mexico has an unemployement rate of over 50%, so of course the mexican people are going to look for another way to feed their children.

Thats why they work so hard.

If black men were in that same condition then black men would act the same way.

It has nothing to do with one group of people being naturally lazier than the other.

Then she said we dont take care of ourselves, afrikan people sold themselves into slavery (she's such a snob lol)

Most people who brings this subject up dont even know the history.

The afrikans who supposedly sold the people into slavery did it because they didnt want to be sold in slavery themselves.

Many afrikans sold into slavery their prisoners from an opposing ethnic group.

And many afrikans had no idea how terribel the conditions were on the slave ships.

And yes some afrikans were traitors but there are traitors in every race.

There were jews in nazi germany who wore nazi armbands on their arms and often treated the jews (their own people) worse than the nazi's.

They had to act that way to keep themselves and their families from being put into the horrible conditions which most jews were under at the time.

Then she said black men in the ghetto dont want to work.

I have many cousins who stand out on the corners from the wee hours of the morning to the late hours of night.

That sounds like work to me.

The problem is they dont work for another man under their rules when they can make more money in the streets.

No healthy group of men see the end point of their lives as working for another group of men.

Why would you want to work for the same people who raped your female ancestors, lynched your ancestors, killed millions of them without any remorse or compunction, scandalized their names and bodies, called them ugly savages and did all of the other stuff to degrade us?

Why would you want to happily and cheerfully work for a people like that?

Then she said black people sell drugs to other black people.

So i said is alcohol and cigererettes drugs lol.

You see the white man selling these things to his own people and millions of lives ae lost every year because of the white man selling massive amounts of these drugs to their own people.

She didnt have anything to say after that so she just said, "well if you dumb enough to buy that stuff then you deserve what you get."

She like so many other blacks have ben brainwashed into believing the worst about themselves.

Its sad because so many blacks discriminate against their own because they have foolishly been duped by the media into believing that your own people are the most terrible people on earth.

Anytime you see a black man profiting off of something or failing in life because of some cause you can bet your bottom dollar that a white man is benefiting from it.

We all know that the jail industry in this country is set up to benefit the lawyers, judges (which are mostly white), white towns all over the country and so forth.

This means that our going to jail (whether innocent or guilty because not all people who go to jail are guilty) is sutaining the lives of white people and some blacks and others.

We have to come to this reality or we will wrongly accuse each other of things we are not responsible for.

This woman is 68 years old and she hasnt learned these lessons yet.

Its so sad but what can you say.

And she's a pisces like me (her birthday is actually the same day as mine) so she should be more intuitive than that.

I dont know lol.

Its no wonder so many of us are so confused in this day and age.

The elders are confused their damn selves.

New piece of the Tubman legacy.

From now on ive decided to dedicate this blog and the tubman solution to serving the betterment of the black community.

I will be posting sound interviews with different activists, scholars, business people an politicians in the greater baltimore region and beyond from now on.

When i initially created this blog it was to help solve the problems that we as afrikan people face all over the world.

After a while because i was getting so much love from some of the bloggers i found myself trying to please others other than stay true to myself.

Well those times are over because from now on, on this blog, i am going to stick to my original objective and these interviews are going to be solution oriented documenting the ways ad means by which we can solve the many variety of different problems we face as a people.

I hope everyone who listens in gets some value out of these interviews

Peace out!

When Pisces Met Cancer.

I love cancer women.

I've been with many of them ever since high school.

It seems like these women are magnetically drawn to me.

I can be sitting at the bar or getting my food and a cancer will initaite a conversation with me.

It says in the horoscopes that pisces and cancers are the soulmates of the zodiac.

Who knows.

But i have had many cancers without even knowing this so it might be some validity to this.

I was in popeyes (fast food restauraunt) about a month and a half ago.

I just wanted to find a good signal for my laptop and this beautiful young lady saw the astrology books that i had and asked are those astrology books.

I said with my dapper masculine voice, "why yes they are" lol, and she hurriedly took them out my hand to see her description i guess.

She was pretty and i thought it was nice that she showed me some attention (because so many young women treat you like crap when you go to order something) so i asked her some questions about herself and we got into a conversation.

She told me about her kids and how she didnt get along with her baby father and all that.

I didnt think much of it but i told her that ill bring some astrology books down to her whenever i get a chance because she was so passionate about the subject.

About a week passes, i go to the place and bring her some books she says "wow this must be meant to be you came back."

I just nonchalantly replied "maybe!"

She seems like a nice gurl.

She's friendly and she's only two years younger than me (im used to dating older women) but i dont know.

Two kids.

Not that im thinking about that but shit i can barely take care of myself lol.

I mean shit im 27 years old, dont work, on food stamps, lazy as hell, what can i possibly offer her and her kids.

I think i gave her the wrong impression because i came in there trying to look cool with my ugly self lol with a camel hair suit jacket on and a turtle neck trying to look like a professor.

Broke as hell I definately know how to portray the right image.

I mean i can always make money and change my lifestyle.

It's really not that big of a deal but i really like this gurl.

She has that nurturing quality that i love in cancer women so much so i know she's a good mother.

Well i guess i gotta get on my grind.

It sucks still having a college student mentality when you've been out of school for years already.

But of course in order to do my romance thing i gotta get the dough so if anybody lives in the baltimore, maryland region and knows of any job openings soon where they work.

HOLLA!

R.I.P Ol' D' B' (November 15, 1968–November 13, 2004)

How do you describe a legend like the Ol' Dirt Dog?

How do you describe a man that was too great for his time?

How do you describe a man who could never be defeated no matter what others tried to do to him or say about him?

Most people who would describe this mans life would probably call him a moron, retarted, whatever?

I dont think he was either.

I see him as a man who was never defeated?

He did things his way and it wouldnt be anybody elses but his.

This dude and the group that he's from (WU TANG CLAN) had a very impresionale impact on my life.

I loved the woo.

They were my favorite rap group.

I could identif with all of them too because most of them lived in the projects and was poor growing up like i was.

They was hard, you gotta listen to their stuff to really know what im talking about.

And certainly the Ol' Dirty Bastard was one of the hardest.

He had a very unorthodox rap style were it was part singing and part rapping.

He rarely ever wrote his rhymes out (and you could definately tell) but a lot of them was hard and had mad rhythim none the less.

He was extreemly vulger.

Rude as hell, he interrupted the grammy's in 1999 to protest when the WU didnt win best rap group of the year.

He talked about killing other brothers who lloked like him.

But he will always be remembered as having a great sense of humor, and actually portraying what can happen to a brother when he grows up in an environment where the system treats them like animals.

He was a product of his environment and that really is the best way to sum it up.

I remeber being in the lunch room acting like i was him rhyming on the microphone (my favorite member from the WU was the GZA (GENIUS) but when he was hot everybody was blasting his shit in my hood.

The ol' dirt dog aint take no shit.

He was always ready to slap the taste out of somebodies mouth.

This is my tribute Ol' D' B.

RIP Forever!

WU FOREVER SON!

Do You Think That Seeking Revenge On Someone Who's Wronged You Is A Bad Thing?

I dont like to get on anybody.

Im very laid back and even if you've wronged me in some way i dont hold grudges.

But sometimes it's hard to keep your composure when someone is constantly pushing your buttons.

You know what i'm saying?

Most people I can pretty much shrug off without looking the other way.

But there are some that you think need to be taught a lesson.

Im in a situation now where i'm going through some rough circumstances, thus causing me a good deal of stress.

Is it wrong to take that stress out on someone that has wronged you in the past?

I know that we believe in the christian theology that you should turn the other cheek or whatever.

How many of us actually do that when it comes to our own people?

I dont know.

I dont forget anything!

And if someone has wronged me in the past i can still remember it years and years down the road and live it out vividly in my imagination.

I never forget.

I dont know i just think some poeple need to be taught a lesson.

Revenge may be petty but its so sweet sometimes lol.

Whatta ya say.

Denial is not a river in egypt!

I felt i had to write this post to get something off my chest.

most people think that if you dont pay attention to something or just ignore it for as long as you possibly can it has no effect on you.

many of us believe that if we try to escape to some foreign suburb that we wont be affected by the plights of the inner city.

or we believe that its right to just cut off communication with someone even when we still want to talk to them.

we put ourselves through a lot of unnecessary stress trying to escape from and deny that things and feelings exist when they do.

sometimes we are able to find all types of elaborate ways of distracting ourselves from reality but in actuality that thing that you are trying to escape from has influenced your life more than you know.

lets say you met somebody at a place you love dearly.

it didnt work out and you completely want to ignore them.

you dont want to go to the same place you met them at because you dont want to bump into them

this means you have to change your whole life to avoid running into that person

so you arent really ignoring them, you are giving this person too much power (more power than they actually desreve)

aint nobody stoping me from going where i want to go.

i dont get down like that

now of course if somebody fades out of your life naturally because you are moving in a whole nother direection than ok it just happens

i go to sites all the time, "i dont want to talk to them but i dont want to make it seem as if im trying to talk to them, i dont want to initiate contact, or im a G, im trying to avoid them to prove how strong i am.

you are a fool lol

you are stressing yourself out unecessary

just call them or email them if you really want to that bad

i got caught up in that and i wound up feeling dumb because i wasted so much time because of pride (not going beneath your standards)

who created your standards

how did you come to believe what you now think is the right way to go.

always question why you have accepted a belief and measure it against reality.

if its driving you insane then maybe you might need to drop that value

theres nothing wrong with changing a belief if it no longer suits you.

you are going to waist a lot of time and energy if you dont come to terms with how you really feel.

sometimes it's good to distract yourself from doing something that you might regret

thats not always the answer though

and when you finally face that reality that you have been trying to avoid, you will thank God that you had the courage to do it.

get out of old comfort zones.

the more experiences you have the more able you will be to cope more effectively with the challenges in life.

Please God Help Me Please! Whats The Best Way To Counter The Dreaded Infestation Of Procrastination!

Im having a hard time with something.

Im writing this manual on how to cure yourself of all types of "incurable" disaeases.

Im basically giving a people a program on how they can heal themselves of diabetes, cancer, arthritis, obesity and whole host of other illneses.

Many people when they want to sell something put an ad in the paper or advertise on the radio or pass out flyers and business cards.

Im going to pass out flyers becasue i know flyers work if you pass out enough.

This is a big feat because i have to make two sales letters, one to upsell them on theinformation product another to post on the internet.

it's a lot of work because im putting in there all i have learned in natural healing from mentors and books, lectures workshops etc.

i wanna do it now because the sooner i start the faster i start making money and healing people.

how do you handle procrastination when you know you have to do something important.

my problem is i am easily distracted.

sometimes its hard forme to stay focused on something longer than 5 minutes (which is sad because i know the cure to ADHD lol)

This is why you should never ever ever drink grain alcohol!

Saturday night was a very unique one for me lol.

Im learning about herbs and their medicinal properties (healing capacity), and some mixtures require you to make tinctures.

A tincture is an herb or mixture of hebs thats mixed with a preservative to keep it in a consumable form forever.

You can mix vinegar with the herbs and yo can also mixgrain alcohol with it to keep it preserved.

So i got some liquor to go with the herbs and i went home to make the tincture (the herbs i mixed by the way were valerian, wild lettuce, loebillia and skulcap, i was making a tonic that will put you right to sleep. It didnt work though, it might work as a brewed tea though)

So i was like since i got some alcohol let me take a sip.

i cut it with some cranberry juice and for a while i aint feel nothing.

so i drunk a little bit more and all of a sudden i started to feel it.

i still kept drinking though and i felt it a little bit more.

next thing you know its 3 o'clock in the morning im drunk and horny.

its time to have a good time lol.

i rushed out of my bed making a whole bunch of noise(i rent a room in a house), i walked out the door i remember doing that.

Next thing you know it was 2pm sunday afternoon.

i had mcdonalds food scattered all around me, my cell phone was gone, my keys were gone, i had 100 dollars missing from my wallet, i had like 10 dollars in these strange looking yellow coins (which i think i got from an adult store or something lol) and i didnt remember JACK!

Well I finally got my answer today.

I went outside and talked to the guy who lives upstairs from me and we were outside talking for a minute.

He said i was immensely wet, and i was tripping hard with him like never before.

He said it was like i was a completely different person.

like the regular tubby escaped from my body and a totally different human being with a completely different personality inculcated my spiritless flesh (well maybe he didnt say it like that).

Anyway lol, we were out there talking and he said all of a sudden this fine redbone came walking down the street (he said she wasnt a dime she was a 20) and i was actually hollering at her (thats not something i ever have the confidence to do).

He said i was macking shorty hard and i just left him and walked down the street with her lol.

I guess i must have took her back to the crib because he said when he got back there there was a whole lot of moaning and groaning coming from my room.

And on top of that a lady who lives in the same building had her 17 year old kid there and she heard everything.

That's not funny man.

Dont drink please.

sidebar: this dude for a 20 dollar bet drunk a whole pint of grain alcohol STRAIGHT in only a few swallows.

That dude definately earned that twenty dollars lol.

Oh yeah, for those who dont know grain alcohol is 95% alcohol (that means if you drink that much alcohol and smoke you could litterally blow up, straight spontaneous combustion).

He was throwing up for like 2 days he said he walked all the way downtown from where we live (about 4 miles).

Please stay away from this kind of alcohol im telling you.

Just stick to wine coolers lol.

Im thinking about moving, where should i move to?

Recently i just got my hands on a good chunk of money and i feel like fleeing the state of maryland.

I feel like im too dependent on my family for help (even though i live by myself) and i feel like exploring the world to see what else is out there.

Im 27, dont have any kids, in very good shape, aint tied down to a job so where should i go and why?

I wanna go somewhere there is plenty of opportunities to make money but the cost of living is still not that high.

I would reallly like to go somewhere thats warm or at least not so cold in the winter.

can somebody give me a clue please.

Im incapable of making a decision of this magnitude for myself lol.

What your birthday says about you!

Signs tell us a lot about who we are. Anytime i want to understand someone i always ask them for their sign because i am a true believer in this fact.

After a while i'll be able to predict exactly what sign a person is just by talking to them for 5 minutes (trust me). And eventually im going to make a lot of money doing this lol (in my dreams i guess).

I picked up a fasinating book the other day called, "What Your Birthday Reveals About You" by Phyllis Vega.

It hit some things on the head and i think you might be interested in what it says about YOUR birthday.



Here's mine though lol (like anybody cares).

MARCH 19 (Pisces 1)

People with birthdays on this day are a strange mix of dreamer and doer. A dynamic, powerful, persuader crusader on the one hand, youre a gentle, dreamy poet on the other. When you are aggresive, pioneering spirit takes charge, you feel as if nothing can stop you from reaching your worldly goals. But when the dreamy, gentle, dreamy side of your nature surfaces, your creativity and artistic talent point your attention in another direction entirely. No, matter which mode you're in, when your imagination is fueled by an exciting project, your determination can surprise everyone.

March 19th births lead to idealistic reformers inclined to dramatize their own lives. Typically you rush to the aid of those who need help and then see yourself as some kind of mythological hero. You are exceptionally kindhearted and generous to a fault. However, you tend to be more outspoken and aggresive than other pisces natives.

Although, your help is appreciated, your habit of telling people of what to do is not. Some with birthdays on this day are explorers destined to break new ground in the physical world. Others prefer staying home and exploring the inner worlds of the pysyche.

Because you are impetuous, you are likely to rush into a love relationship without prior thought. As a lover,you are caring and considerate as long as the union lives up to your expectations. But if you become disillusioned, you'll make a beeline for the exit.

So there you have it. This is me i guess. I think it's pretty acurate, i must be stuck in the wrong stage or something.

If anybody tells me their birthday I will post the characteristics for their sign.

You can get it on the net somewhere but i think the book offers more of a indepth description. Or you can go to the library and get some books. You will be amazed at what you find. They also have it so precise that they can tell you exactly what kind of person you are if you know the day of the week you were born on and the time you were born. And BTW the people who discovered this information were AFRIKANS! (our ancestors along the nile valley in north east afrika) who discovered this information and who lloked just like YOU. Fantastic isnt it!

The Ass, the Fox, and the Lion: Aesops's Fables

The Ass, the Fox, and the Lion 

THE ASS and the Fox, having entered into partnership
together for their mutual protection, went out
into the forest to hunt.  

They had not proceeded far when they met a Lion. 

 The Fox, seeing imminent danger, approached the
Lion and promised to contrive for him the capture
of the Ass if the Lion would pledge his word not
to harm the Fox. 

 Then, upon assuring the Ass that he would not be
injured, the Fox led him to a deep pit and
arranged that he should fall into it.  

The Lion, seeing that the Ass was secured,
immediately clutched the Fox, and
attacked the Ass at his leisure.

The lesson: Never ever ever ever ever ever
ever ever ever trust your enemy (even
when they are nice to you and seem to be
pleasantly comfortable dealing with people
like you)! 

If a person is your real friend, when they do
something bad to you they repent and try to
make it up to you in some kind of way. 

If they don’t then they are just acting. 

They are not your friend at all. 

They are just a faker. 

Remember that for your own sake! 

Did you even know that there is a black woman running for president! And guess what, her running mate is a black woman too!

Cynthia Mckinney: President

Rosa Clemente: Vice President

These two beautiful, brilliant, classy and INDEPENDENT black women are running on the Green Party ticket. The green party is an independent party that is based on grassroots organizing and issues that are most important to the PEOPLE (not the corporations).

1. GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY - Every human being deserves a say in the decisions that affect their lives and not be subject to the will of another. Therefore, we will work to increase public participation at every level of government and to ensure that our public representatives are fully accountable to the people who elect them. We will also work to create new types of political organizations which expand the process of participatory democracy by directly including citizens in the decision-making process.



2. SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY - All persons should have the rights and opportunity to benefit equally from the resources afforded us by society and the environment. We must consciously confront in ourselves, our organizations, and society at large, barriers such as racism and class oppression, sexism and homophobia, ageism and disability, which act to deny fair treatment and equal justice under the law.



3. ECOLOGICAL WISDOM - Human societies must operate with the understanding that we are part of nature, not separate from nature. We must maintain an ecological balance and live within the ecological and resource limits of our communities and our planet. We support a sustainable society which utilizes resources in such a way that future generations will benefit and not suffer from the practices of our generation. To this end we must practice agriculture which replenishes the soil; move to an energy efficient economy; and live in ways that respect the integrity of natural systems.



4. NON-VIOLENCE - It is essential that we develop effective alternatives to society’s current patterns of violence. We will work to demilitarize, and eliminate weapons of mass destruction, without being naive about the intentions of other governments. We recognize the need for self-defense and the defense of others who are in helpless situations. We promote non-violent methods to oppose practices and policies with which we disagree, and will guide our actions toward lasting personal, community and global peace.



5. DECENTRALIZATION - Centralization of wealth and power contributes to social and economic injustice, environmental destruction, and militarization. Therefore, we support a restructuring of social, political and economic institutions away from a system which is controlled by and mostly benefits the powerful few, to a democratic, less bureaucratic system. Decision-making should, as much as possible, remain at the individual and local level, while assuring that civil rights are protected for all citizens.



6. COMMUNITY-BASED ECONOMICS AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE - We recognize it is essential to create a vibrant and sustainable economic system, one that can create jobs and provide a decent standard of living for all people while maintaining a healthy ecological balance. A successful economic system will offer meaningful work with dignity, while paying a “living wage” which reflects the real value of a person’s work.

Local communities must look to economic development that assures protection of the environment and workers’ rights; broad citizen participation in planning; and enhancement of our “quality of life.” We support independently owned and operated companies which are socially responsible, as well as co-operatives and public enterprises that distribute resources and control to more people through democratic participation.



7. FEMINISM AND GENDER EQUITY - We have inherited a social system based on male domination of politics and economics. We call for the replacement of the cultural ethics of domination and control with more cooperative ways of interacting that respect differences of opinion and gender. Human values such as equity between the sexes, interpersonal responsibility, and honesty must be developed with moral conscience. We should remember that the process that determines our decisions and actions is just as important as achieving the outcome we want.



8. RESPECT FOR DIVERSITY - We believe it is important to value cultural, ethnic, racial, sexual, religious and spiritual diversity, and to promote the development of respectful relationships across these lines.

We believe that the many diverse elements of society should be reflected in our organizations and decision-making bodies, and we support the leadership of people who have been traditionally closed out of leadership roles. We acknowledge and encourage respect for other life forms than our own and the preservation of biodiversity.



9. PERSONAL AND GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY - We encourage individuals to act to improve their personal well-being and, at the same time, to enhance ecological balance and social harmony. We seek to join with people and organizations around the world to foster peace, economic justice, and the health of the planet.



10. FUTURE FOCUS AND SUSTAINABILITY - Our actions and policies should be motivated by long-term goals. We seek to protect valuable natural resources, safely disposing of or “unmaking” all waste we create, while developing a sustainable economics that does not depend on continual expansion for survival. We must counterbalance the drive for short-term profits by assuring that economic development, new technologies, and fiscal policies are responsible to future generations who will inherit the results of our actions.

That sounds like a hell of a plan. This is better than we would get from obama bin laden lol (sorry). Ive talked to some people about these two wonderful sisters, and when i talk to them they'll say, "well they aint gon win so why should i vote for them?" Because they represent your interests thats why! Why would you vote for someone who you know wont do much if anything to improve your condition. It just doesnt make sense to me. Yes the guy may be dreamy to women, but the media is using that shollow tendency that many women (not just black) have against you. And the media is pumping you up with all of this crap. Do any of yall know any of his policies. C'mon, I CHALLENGE ONE OBAMA FAN OUT THERE TO GIVE ME 5 THINGS THAT HE WANTS TO ACCOMPLISH UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION. GIVE ME 3 IN ILL BE HAPPY. C'MON CLETUS!

C'MON!!!

The natural truth they dont want you to know about!

I heard that this speech was censored and wasnt allowed to be showed on stations like TV one amd other stations that showed the democratic convention. Why? Because homeboy told the truth!

This guy i believe was the mayor of cleveland a while ago. And when he was the mayor of cleveland he said blacks are 50% of the population there they deserve 50% of the benefits dished by the government there. We need to analyze this speech to see what he was really saying. He said a lot in that short period of time and i can see why many stations didnt allow that footage to be played on their station. The corporations have control over the government. And when the golden child Obama is elected he is going to have to pay back all of the money that he gained from these corporations.

I hear black people saying "it's stupid to think that obama is going to help blacks once he gets into office." If you know thats the case then my answer is why would you vote for him or anyone else for that matter. Sorry to be a party pooper, but i think we need to take time to look at things a little closer sometimes.

Holla!

Do you believe in interacial dating?

I figured I'd do a post like this because i think i need to teach an anonymous blogger who tried to call me out a history lesson. I hope I don't offend anyone I'm just speaking my personal feelings about this issue. It has nothing to do with anything. But we cant forget certain historical facts or we will repeat them and we might even suffer a worse atrocity next time. The question is do you believe in interacial dating? I don't. Why? There are a number of very good reasons for this. First of all, i don't think its a problem to date someone who is mixed if they know who they are. But see this is the dilemma, harvard university did a survey on this, DNA sampling black and white students, and when the results came back most of the white people had afrikan blood in them. At least 90%. (They hated that by the way lol!) But the thing is they look off scratch white so you couldn't tell that at all if you just looked at them. To be honest i hadn't considered that point but i guess i should consider that and come back to yall but for the mean time, no lol.

And there are of course other ethnic groups out there that are heavily mixed with afrikan people even to the extent that it might be a stretch to actually call them anything but. You have other groups, indians east and west, latinos, asians that look just like us but they have straight hair and european features, but they may be darker than me or as dark as the bark on a tree. Im confusing myself now so i guess i should stick to one ethnic group, white people lol. I wouldnt date a white woman because i remember black men being hanged and lynched and having their bodies mutilated (dick cut off and stuffed in their mouths) for just being blamed for sleeping with a white woman. Even if they didn't do it. As a matter of fact if you study the history of the lynched victims (black men) you will see that at least 90% of them were lynched because white men (and white women btw check out rosewood) allegedly accused them of having a sexual relationship or even sexually assaulting a white woman. And they didn't do it by the way. And come to find out a large percentage of the men who were accused of having these affairs were business owners and the white men were just jealous of him owning something for himself.

And also, if you see the movie good bye uncle tom, made by italian film directors, many white women thought it was a form of bestiality to sleep with black men. They hated the ground he walked on, publicly lol, (some of them did sneak around but), they still had a low regard for him. And i would venture to say that this mentality hasn't changed that much in many white people. It's one thing to smile at you at work and laugh at all your jokes, its another thing to actually live amongst you and put their kids in the same schools with yours, and let me tell you the vast majority of white people don't want this at all. I digress. I just believe that if a person or a people once abused you they might do it again lol. If somebody abused me and my ancestors and went through the whole dictionary of evil in terms of what they did to us i would be very cautious in dealing with them because at any time they can turn crazy again. Like i said this is just my opinion. I could be wrong for even pondering this.

Now lets go with this from the sisters perspective. Why shouldn't black women date white men? I know im going to get a looooooooot of flack for this but i got to deal with it. Look im not saying im right. I could be wrong as wrong as can be, its just a different view of this situation that you may have not heard before. First of all, do you remember a time in history called "slavery" lol. Or a period not too long called jim crow. In both of these periods white men could do whatever they wanted to do to black women and they frequently used them in anyway they wanted. My ex has a cousin who is married to an Italian and now lives in Italy. She didn't give a black man the time of day but every white guy who paid attention to her, no matter how they look she flirted back with them. I swear i was at her house and she was talkin some smack about something and i started to say do you know how the italian mafia has treated black people. The sell them crack, cocaine and every other type of drugs almost exclusively to us. In the Godfather one of the corleons said "give the drugs to the niggers they have no souls." And i started to also say (and I know this is true) "white men have raped well over one million black women since we've been in this country and neither one of them ever got put to death for it. Her own aunt was raped by a white man and didn't tell anybody for a long time. And now you are willingly give youself freely to them neglecting your own? Your playing right into their hands!" She's a disgrace. I bet you the majority of people, if they knew the true history and counted up all of the stuff they did to us probably wouldn't go that route. I can go on and on. But I wont. But i do want to hear your opinion. Try not to be influenced by this in anyway.

What Traits Do You Like Most In A Potential Partner?

I dont know why blogger isnt letting me upload a picture of my future wife Lauryn Hill but it's daggum shame i tell you. So what is it that makes you lose your mind about the opposite sex that you believe to be absolutely irresistable (or the same sex if you swing that way, nobody's discriminating here)? Lauryn Hill is the prototype for me because she embodies so many of the traits I loooooooove in a woman. First of all she's brilliant! Intelligence is an afrodesiac for me (if you dont believe she's really intelligent look at the video above. If you can teach me something or show me a perception of the world that i've never seen before, you got me! She's beautiful of course even though that's not real high on the totem pole because I believe 99.9% of women are beautiful or have the potential to be more beautiful than they are (if it comes down to it and she fulfills me in soooooo many other ways then i might spring for plastic surgery lol). She's confident in the sense that she stands by here beliefs reagardless of what others think of her and regardless of whether she's popular or not. Case and point, her recent concerts have shown her being portrayed as a bag lady or something. I believe, and this is just a theory, that she is presenting herself in this way because she is trying to call attention to the plight that inner city poor and homeless women face everyday. She is dressing like this to call attention to poor and homeless Black women. Who knows. But if that is the case then she is not only brilliant, but she is astoundingly creative. Another trait I love in a woman. She doesn't know it yet but she will be mine someday. The marley guy she's with or whoever she's with now is only marinating it, but it will be mne soon lol. But anyway what do you like? Some people have strange likes like if they have dirty fingernails they wont talk to them. I'm just not going to give a comment but just let me know okay?

Why Do We Hate Each Other So Much!

I dont understand it. I consider myself to be a pretty jolly person. So when I walk around town, on the bus stop, in McDeath (McDonalds) or anywhere else, i try to speak, be nice and courteous but people just treat me bad. Maybe it's just a figment of my imagination, but whenever i look at TV or interact with other Blacks, in most cases they are just angry LOL. I wish I could let them know thats it really not that serious. You look on TV and theres always some beef going on between us. The rich and middle class getting on poor people, celebrities fighting each other. Lets's have a national love day for black people where no matter what happens we have to be nice to each other on that day. Then maybe we can expand it to a week then maybe a month, we have a month for everything else (history, music, black women). Let's go one day without criticizing, fighting with, humiliating any black person. Let's be a little more nice to each other. Please dont hate me for this post lol.

What would you seek to accomplish in life if you knew that you couldn't fail?

That really is a deep question when you think about it. We have so many things that we would like to accomplish in life but our goals seem so hard for us to attain sometimes. So if you knew that you couldn't fail, what would you want to achieve beyond a shadow of a doubt? Think about it. In family, work, relationships, weight loss. What would it be?

Black men need to love other black men!

Sounds funny doesnt it lol.

Im not talking about in "that" way.

Black men really have a problem loving each other in our communities and their isnt enough talk about that going on.

So why do we need to love each other more anyway?

Because if we loved each other more we wouldnt stand seeing other black men going to jail in record numbers.

If we loved each other more then we wouldnt stand for other men coming into our community, taking the wealth of our communities through their businesses and taking it back to their neighborhood to take their children to private schools while ours beg the adults in the street for quarters nickels and dimes just so they can get a sandwich to eat, because they might not have anything at home.

Now im not blaming the black man.

Everytime black men established their own grassroots movements to solve their own problems there has always been a concerted effort to destroy those movements by the federal state and municipal government itself.

Whether you talk about marcus garvey's movement (destroyed by J Edgar Hoover and the FBI), the riff between malcolm x and elijah muhammad (FBI sent made up letters to both of these guys saying it was from the other, and prevented appology letters from getting to each other).

Same thing happened with the Black Panthers, SNCC, Martin Luther King (Hoover tried to blackmail King and actually suggested that he commit suicide).

These are obstacles we are going to inevitbly face.

And many of us instinctively knows this, so we choose not to do anything to help our condition.

I understand lol.

But this is what all men do if they want to survive.

We have to ensure our survival on earth by bringing together black men and collectively say "HELL NO!"

"We are not going to let any other group of men take over our communities economically!"

This is the true measure of being a man.

Men own, control, provide for and protect their neighborhoods from the exploitation of other groups of men, period!

Chemical Brothers: Let Forever Be

Call 2 Action For all brothers in baltimore

on fathers day I attended an event at the baltimore convention center.

black activists of all types came out to speak on the issues concerning black adult males in baltimore

there were about 20 to 30 speakers the majority local but the ones who really shook up the place were susan taylor and micheal eric dyson

miss taylor talked abouthow black people are over consumed with personal consumption and fulfillment other than saving our children (i rarely see people talking about how we are going to save our communities from all of these problems on blogs by the way)

she talked about how other groups look at us and laugh at us because we are more concerned with accumulating high priced trinkets as opposed to saving our children

she also spoke about hatian history (the history of the hatian revolution is something I have q great deal of interest in)

she talked about how the hatians took over that country and how the french when they fought the hatian men had to get help from the spanish and the british and at the end of the fighting the french, british and the spanish went back to europe HUMILIATED

she was awesome

and of course micheal eric dyson was ok with his critique of black males

talking about how black men should take responsibility for our community but he and susan taylor also condemned the government for denying black mem opportunities in the community and setting them up to commit crime so they can feed millions of people by going to prison

and by the way one of the lectures really struck me

it aaid that over 48% of black males 16 and over are UNEMPLOYED or UNDEREMPLOYED

as far as I was concerned he didn't have to say anything else

what is the responsiblity of a group of men when they don't have adequate job opportunities to support their family and children

who's taking care of them

and why would this government rather invest billions of dollars into law schools and building new prisons as opposed to providing ample employment for these men

has anyone remebered fathers day

I know, I know. my fathers not the greatest guy too.

but at least he created me lol

been all around blogville, haven't seen too much love given to the fathers

I know my father isn't even worth mentioning but I love him till this day even though he doesn't want to see me unless I got some money lol

fathers don't realize how valuable they are

mainly because there is so much animosity towards the black male father in our culture

but the black man was the first father

he created (along with the black woman) all of the other races in the world (white, asian, arabs, etc.)

as a matter of fact, as the great afrikan historian dr cheihk anta diop says, if black people never left afrika to populate the rest of the world then every other place on earth would have been a desert

every race on earth should thank god that the black man led some afrikans out of afrika to create all other human beings

there is a fascinating dicumentary on the subject called "the journey of man" chartering the voyage of afrikans from afrika to the rest of the world

with all the turmoil we go through there are still good fathers out there

and if some aren't good they haven't been taught to be good

I salute all of yall

thank you ancestors for keeping the lineage alive

You know im just saying this to get you mad!

Lately people have really been getting me upset very easily.

Then when things are said and done, and i finally cool down, it seems like theres someone else waiting in the wind to push the magic buttons to release that psychopathic aspect of my personality.

So fam, what is it?

What's the threshold that someone can cross to make you kurk and murk out at the drop of a dime (act a fool lol)?

C'mon speak on it.

I wanna know what to do if you ever piss me off lol (kidding)!

Happy Black Music Month!!!!!!

This is the Man they call Chuck Berry. You might not know who this guy is but every rock and roll album after his coming was influenced by this brother right here. Every corny white boy and their band you can think of (rolling stones, beatles, the who, jerry lee lewis, elvis, the list goes on forever) shamelessly copied his style and reproduced his tracks to appeal to the wider audience. Even elvis's mom once told him "your good, but you're no chuck berry!" Read about him in history class, never really listened to his stuff. But after hearing cuts like this, "catch me if you can," "maybelline," "school days," johnny be good" (back to the future #1), i can see why he was so popular then and now.

I was talking to this young lady (who just happened to be caucasian) and she was telling me that she was going to st.louis to live so that she could occasionally see Chuck Berry show up at a local joint. Feeling kind of bad (because she had more of an appreciation for him then i did) i said "what choo know about chuck berry, all of the rock and roll artists from back in the day stole from him."

It's really ashamed that other people have more of an appreciation for our musical history then we do. Black music is the only music in this country that is trully original. We've had soooooooo many musical geniuses that have come and gone it's ridiculous (Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane, Louis Jordan, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Billie Holiday, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Diana Ross, Ella Fitzgerald, Sam Cooke).

Please know your history. Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan said "your history is your power!"

Of the Hands, the Feet, and the Belly

He who foolishly leaves his relatives unprotected should know that he thus decieves himself.

Nor is anything of value to a man except his own, as appears in this story.

The feet and the hands being jealous, accused the belly, speaking in the fashion: "You alone hold all our gains and enjoy them.

To us falls the works, to you the pleasure. While we strive with pain, you eat and swallow with pleasure. So choose one of two things: learn a task with which you can maintain yourselfor suffer from creul hunger."

And so they ceased to support them.

The stomach not knowing how to maintain himself, in great humilty begged the help of each of them once, twice, and many times, but they refused him for many days, so that, being without food for a long time, the heat of the stomach died and thirst seized their throat, and thus nature fled

The feet and the hands, although too late, seeing that the whole body was going to die and they with it, brought food and edibles in abundance, but they did not profit it because the stomach could not tolerate the food.

So the body died and with it the hands and feet and stomach.

This fable means that NO ONE is sufficient unto himself, that every man needs relatives and friends, at that we must work each at own at his job, although it may seem to us that at first glance that we are working for others, for for the profit they derive from it will return to us in a roundabout way.

Thus, if we do for others, let us at least do it for the good we will recieve ourselves.

keating and keller: aesop's fables: with a life of aesop, 1993 pg. 103-04, University Press of Kentucky

Yeah some of us might be doing fabulously well, but we should not forget where we came from.

While the people who run this society are elevating a good number of black people to higher economic status. They are mowing a great deal of blacks down at the bottom down (imprisoning them en masse, terrible education in decreped schools, lack of sustainable employment etc.)

And this is what a lot of Blacks on the top will be saying if things get toooooooooo bad.


This is the lesson that we all should learn. We are in this thing together. No matter what we are all in the same boat.

Oh, and by the way, don't go to the site at the last part of the video if you love Obama, lol.

Of the Sun and the Avaricious and Envious Man

I know I have been slipping hard on the beloved fables of Aesop. Sue me lol!

Anyway, this is one of my favorites!

Of the Sun and the Avaricious and Envious Man

So great is the envy of some persons that they actually wish to endure harm so that others might suffer greater discomforts, as this fable tells.

Soveriegn Jupiter sent someone from his lofty throne to the sun to find out the unscrupulous wishes of men. At that time two persons came before the sun: one was avaricious, the other envious.

To them the sun said: "What would you like to ask for? Declare it in the knowledge that what you ask for first will be granted. The second thing you ask for will be doubled and given."

Hearing this, the avaricious man wanted the envious to ask first so that the avaricious man might have the same thing doubled, since he thought that the envious one would ask for riches.

The envious one, hearing this and considering what the avaricious man was to recieve doubled, was not able to restrain his envy, and so he asked that he have an eye taken out, because then they would take two from the greedy man.

The sun, seeing this, smiled at both and went up to jupiter and told him to what extent envy reigns amongst men: many wished to dangers so that their neighbors might endure greater evils and harm.

What joy it gives the petty and tarnished to have companions in their ills and misfortunes!

Be careful who you deal with. If they are envious of you they will never stop until they bring you down.

Would you get married after only knowing someone for a short period of time?

Interesting question. Many people say that most women are always ready to settle down. Not the ones that i've talked to lol. Most believe this but actually it's the men that are more willing to marry quicker than the women in this day and age because he needs someone to come home to so he can worry about other things in his life like being more productive in his career and achieving his other goals in life (or having someone to build and grow with). In this day and age the Black woman has a rough time finding a good partner because many black men are unemployed or underemployed, (many white men are too by the way) so he can't adeuately take care of his woman and child, or if they have any money at all they might not have any morals or kindness at all. But the black women's downfall is her low expectations and her unwilingness to hold back her scolding tongue sometimes. John Henrik Clarke, the late great historian and cultural critic said, her sharp tongue has driven more men from the home then poverty. Most women don't know that's it's easier to catch fly's with honey than with vinegar (my grandmother used to say).

But anyway, would YOU be willing to marry someone after only knowing them for a short period of time if you thought that your union could REALLY work?

Holla!!!!!!!!!!!!

INTRODUCING THE WONDERFUL AND MAGNIFISCENT AESOP'S FABLES THURSDAY CELEBRATION!

Since a lot of people (particularly Black women) think i'm dumb lol, at least on Thursday I'll be able to provide some insight from a wonderful source of information on the real workings of human nature AESOP!

So from now on i will publish one of Aesop's beloved fables every thursday to remind us of some of the things that human beings do (regardless of what they say) that we all should be aware of.

Here's how it's going to go. I'll start off with the story then i'll give the original moral of the story, then i'll give my take on the story (sorry) that will probably relate to someof the conditions that Black people face as a whole (i really am sorry)

So we'll start off on the first ever AESOP'S FABLES THURSDAY (YAY WOO HOOO, YES, YES, YES) with one of my dear favorite fables:

THE BUTCHER AND THE FLOCK

Relatives, friends or mates (black men and black women) who cannot agree with one another will come to a bad end, as the following fable tells us.

Some castrated sheep had been gathered together in a flock with the rams. Although the sheep realized that the butcher had come into the flock, they pretended not to see him.

Even when they saw one of their own seized by the butcher's deadly hands and taken away to be slaughtered, still the sheep were not afraid. Foolishly, they said to one another, 'He keeps his hands off me, he keeps his hands off you; let him take whom he takes.'

In the end, there was only one sheep left. This is what he reportedly said to the butcher when he saw that he too was about to be taken away: 'We deserve to be slaughtered one after another since we didn't realize what was happening until it was too late.

The fact is, as soon as we saw you here in our midst, back when we were all together, we should have killed you at once by smashing you between our horns.'

This fable shows that people who do not keep an eye out for their own safety will be utterly destroyed by evil.

For he that wylle not helpe ne comforte other / ought not to demaunde or aske helpe ne comforte / For vertue whiche is vyned is better than vertue separate
Retrieved from "http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Butcher_and_the_Flock"

Many blacks think that we can watch members of our race get assaulted and used by the system and think that nothing is going to happen to us.

Time will tell.
