For over 400 years in America Black people have endured the hatred, abuse, exploitation and character and image humiliation by whites. We prayed, shouted, raged, and cried as to why these people chose us to oppress.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
They are by far an evil race. Malcolm X did not lie about that. He once stated in one of his speeches that by their very nature, white people were evil and depraved. Just study European history. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
Yet, white people love to demonize us. They talk about how many are locked up in the prisons, albeit dismissing the bias that put many Black men in particular behind bars. However, I was always taught that those who condemn, typically have a lot to hide.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
When you look at history, it's not just slavery that condemns whites, but their every day behavior. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
I'd like to know present a collage of images and links that highlight this depravity and ask those here to dare to challenge those racists who seem to dismiss their behavior, yet, continue to point fingers at us.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
However, I'm a very observant person and I'd like to expose some headlines that many people may have missed that truly expose the innate sickness that dwells in all whites--even to their own denial.</div>

The last story I have is actually one that is personal. About 10 years ago, I was told by a white coworker that one Thanksgiving after she took out the turkey to cool, she left it on the counter in the kitchen. The next thing she heard was a big crash. Going back in to the kitchen; the family dog had got to it and was literally eating it on the floor. She grabbed the dog and wrestled the turkey out of its mouth, put it back in the pan--repairing it as best she could--AND THEN SERVED IT.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
And some people wonder what is the deal with white people and dogs.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
All I can say is that I don't have to post any lynch photos, post pictures and stories of the numerous serial killers, mass shootings, domestic terrorist behavior (Unibomber, Timothy McVeigh) just observe the violence and behavior white folks today--it's something deep in these people that make them do sick things. Frankly, I feel they have a serious spiritual deficit--which provokes this kind of behavior in them.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
If pictures are more than a thousand words; they are in no moral position to judge anyone.</div>

I have a new blog on Word Press. If you like this blog, you are more than welcome to come to it. Visit me at: <a href="http://truthangel07.wordpress.com/">http://truthangel07.wordpress.com/</a><br />
<br />
I've been doing a lot of thinking in the coming days and I've simply out grown this forum. The Uppity Sistah was a concept that I came up with to discuss topics and points of view too blunt for mainstream boards. It was very cathartic in the beginning, but as usual, I've begun to feel as though I need to go in another direction, and I'm also busy at work on my second novel.<br />
<br />
However, I'll let you decide it I should pull the plug.<br />
<br />
Just leave a comment here.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18.1875px;">Good Morning, I got a lot on my mind today. Trending right now: President Obama's Speech to Morehouse College. Can I just say, <i>Arrrrgggg!?!?!?!</i> Seriously, I'm starting to dislike President Barack Obama. I voted for him on principal--not because I liked him, thus, when he does something or says something that I feel needs to be challenged; I will hold him accountable. Case in point:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.1875px;" /></span>
<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 1.4em;"><strong style="background-color: white;">His Speech to Morehouse College graduates.</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.1875px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.1875px;">Will it ever be a time when group of young Black men can come together to celebrate without having to cringe, at yet another individual,who made the casual mistake of seeing them as criminals or children that need to be scolded, as opposed to congratulating them for accomplishing the hopes and dreams they set out to do? Obama all but waived his finger at these young men. I found his speech, presumptive, condescending and ignorant of whom was in the audience. Imagine telling such a hard-working group of men that they need to "stay on the grind." As if theywere slacking. He fed into large held stereotypes of Black men that are viewed by white people. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.1875px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px;">I wonder if he would have spoken to a group of white students this way at traditionally Ivy League Alma Maters?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="line-height: 18.1875px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px;">I have several relatives that graduated from Morehouse College and the gall f the president to speak to these young men as though they were criminals rather than young men who will one day be the captains of industry; all but led this gal to consider that they might have just as well had the Grandmaster of the Klu Klux Klan give the commencement address. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.1875px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.1875px;">President Obama needs to be called out for this. And it's high time Black people stop giving him a pass.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.1875px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.1875px;">Frankly, I and a lot of other people are getting tired of listening to these tired, finger-pointing speeches the President seems to give whenever he's in front of Black audiences. We're tired of getting lectured. Black people aren't the ones committing terrorists acts, mass shootings, and we certainly aren't the ones who messed up this economy.</span></span><br />

Oh, Yes I do!</div>
<br />
There's no trace of inferiority in me. None.<br />
<br />
Slavery was not the beginning of the Black race--it was an interruption of what truly was a magnificent beginning.<br />
<br />
Did you know that much of the Bible is talking about Africans? Some folks are ignorant of this because of the sinister infusion of race/racism of biblical teaching that has permeated the world. All one has to do is study history and geography to smash the lies told about Black people.<br />
<br />
Let's face it; it's easier to get many Black people to watch the Kardashians rather than read books that tell us who we truly are. It's like deep within a few; their subconscious can't accept anything which infuses any type of pride. Too many Black people today are willfully indigent, when it comes to points of intellect about Africa, and our history as a people.<br />
<br />
White power is not capable without the participation, and sadly, the cooperation of co-conspirators within the psyches of our people.<br />
<br />
I've never been afraid of white folks--and would laugh right in the face of a White supremacist. <br />
<br />
Look at the books, white people are descended from Neanderthals, Black people are descended from Homo-Sapiens (the highest species). What does that tell you? Yet, white people think they are superior. If many really knew what Neanderthals really were, and how they lived; they'd know concretely that white supremacy is a presumption--not a fact. Neanderthals were cannibals. <br />
<br />
However, the history that has been fed to the world is that of a white supremacist mindset. But! Black Scholars can refute most white scholars about history today. All one has to do is look at the time frame in which history books elevate European culture; when learning Black/African history, one will clearly see the gaps. A lot was wiped out. Why? And just what happened?<br />
<br />
There is no excuse for any Black person on this earth to be ashamed of who they are. None whatsoever.<br />
<br />
We as a people, are more than just soundbites in history; <strong>AFRICA</strong> was the <strong>BEGINNING </strong>of all that has become.</div>

Can we just be real today?<br />
<br />
Many of you are in college and you're busy at work on your future
careers. However, some of you are still trying to figure out what your
path should be.<br />
<br />
However, there are those rare people who just seem to be extremely
driven, focused and determined to achieve success. When they do, one of
the things that they discover is how often even family and friends
treat them.<br />
<br />
Let's just face it: folks really do have a crabs-in-a-barrel mentality and can't stand to see other people succeed.<br />
<br />
Are you going through that? Or do you know someone who is?<br />
<br />
Only <b>YOU</b> can make your life work. It's no one else's responsibility if you fail. You get exactly what you settle for in life.<br />
<br />
Sometimes it's the people that some hang around that stifle their
growth. Other times, it's the lack of confidence, discipline and hard
work that is necessary.<br />
<br />
I'm one of the few people in the world who actually love to brag about
other people succeeding--especially if I know them. I'm a natural
motivator and it just gets me hyped to see a person achieving in life.<br />
<br />
But that's rare...however, I'd like to encourage those here who are
trying to achieve something in life--hold on to your dreams, believe in
yourself and don't allow the petty <b>HATE </b>of slackers get you down.<br />
<br />
Just remember, Jesus was hated too--and he was perfect.</div>

<span style="font-family: Book Antiqua;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For many years, I can't tell you how many times I've had people look at me and literally say, "are you mixed?" I've been asked if I was Creole or mixed with American Indian by African Americans. Some Latinos assumed I was Puerto Rican or something. One Mexican guy insisted that I was mixed in a conversation with his wife.<br /><br />But the question I ask: How can you know if someone has mixed ancestry by looking at them? Only DNA can verify that for sure...and really, for those of us who are of African descent; having this kind of background gives those within the culture a false sense of superiority--foolishly thinking it will give ingratiate them with whites.<br /><br />For the record, I do have American Indian, European, and Latin in my ancestry, but I identify as African American. That's it. Other than here, I just don't talk about it. I'm completely indifferent about it. My mind is focused on social issues impacting African Americans and others of African descent. Not superficial hegemony and phenotype that in many regards, has been a curse to Black people than a blessing.<br /><br />When President Obama's heritage was reported, all of a sudden, websites around the globe appeared to empower mixed race children to higher pursuits. Really? Isn't this an oxymoron, historically? It's well documented how white slave masters would educate their mullato offspring. These children were often treated better by whites. In America, it would shock people who call themselves Black (even those Blacks with only an 1/8 of African blood)--the <b>one drop rule</b>, but when the government changed the racial classification in 2000, allowing people to claim other racial/ethnic origins; it distorted this rule all together.<br /><br />However, I'm very proud by nature and I resent anyone trying to pull the skin game when interacting or representing my community to whites.<br /><br />The problem with many Black people is not that we were born of African origins; it's that so many still believe that we are inferior because of it.<br /><br />I thank God every single day for blessing me to be a Black woman.</span></span></div>

Like many people; I've reached my limit with the gay marriage debate and I'm just going to speak my mind. In my honest opinion, it's a farce. Why? Because for the simple fact that most gay/lesbian unions in and of itself are "hook-ups" not relationships, as is being perpetrated in the media of late. The gay community is playing the "victim" with great strategy: guilt the public into thinking that our way of life(heterosexual marriage) is wrong to their benefit. Most gay/lesbian unions are not monogamous; they are open and are not celibate at all.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
As the old rap song went: "Don't believe the hype."</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
First of all, the gay marriage debate is a farce. Why? Because it's not really about "rights" it is and always has been about <b><span style="color: red;">SEX</span></b>. Basically, they want to feel validated to have it with whom they choose and how much they desire.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Do they really care about SS or insurance, pension plans, health care, et al? All you have to do is sign a joint tenancy agreement or leave a trust for your partner if this were about the transference of benefits and property. They contend that being allowed to marry gives them the same rights of the heterosexual married community, but honestly, anyone that understands contract law and civil unions, knows full well that all one has to do is sign a joint tenancy agreement if this were really an issue of benefits and property being transferred upon death.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
And if someone dares ask you what your opinion is on gay marriage; the proper response should be: your opinion doesn't matter at all in cases of free will.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
As the old rap song went: "<b>Don't believe the hype.</b>"</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The institution of marriage is being targeted by the gay and lesbian community mainly because of their opposition to the Christian definition of marriage. It's well known how many from the gay community challenge the Bible's definition of of marriage and its condemnation of their lifestyle choice. The bottom line here is that you can't produce life from gay/lesbian unions without bio-tampering (invetro-insemination). <b>IT'S NOT NATURAL</b> and with all due frankness; homosexuality is sexual retardation.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: #f4f4f4;">Wanna know what I'd ask a gay/lesbian couple? If they think it's ok to marry the same gender; would they also consider a dog to impregnate a cat?<br /><br />I'd love to see the look on their faces</span><span style="background-color: #f4f4f4;">...</span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
That's the real truth here and I'll challenge anyone to say otherwise.</div>

<span style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: medium;">For over 15 years, the public has been inundated with images of Beyonce. When she was the lead singer in Destiny's Child; the public was being groomed to receive her when she went solo. They denied it at first, but it was clear with all of the replacements that occurred within the group. Sacrifices for the fame of this dame. Her daddy took no prisoners. When she went solo; Crazy In Love launched her solo career--to hell with Kelly and Michelle. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: large;" />
<span style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: medium;">Let's be real, Beyonce's meteoric rise to the top has been the talk of the industry. She has no equal--none that is allowed, but when I look into this woman's eyes; I see emptiness. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: large;" />
<span style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: medium;">Some people are sick of her (raising hands). If this child disappears for 10 years, I will be one happy child. The word overexposed is appropriate.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: large;" />
<span style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: medium;">She's had a charmed life, but at what price?</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: large;" />
<span style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: medium;">However, I just don't feel Ms. Beyonce's soul. There's just nothing there--yet she claims to be a Christian. Really? And just how many souls did she lead to Christ with the song Bootylicious?</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: large;" />
<span style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: medium;">Now, the new controversy behind her song, Bow Down has everyone talking.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: large;" />
<span style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: medium;">Some are shocked at the duplicitous message within her image and the lyrics. I'm not. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: large;" />
<span style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: medium;">If you're not honest about who you really are; contradictions will expose your true nature.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: large;" />
<span style="background-color: #f9f4de; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: medium;">For a long time, I've had a dark premonition about Beyonce. I feel this is the beginning of a steep fall. </span><br />

<b>Please Read:</b> http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2159731/Lil-Kim-shows-puffy-facial-features-altered-lips.html</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I first heard the news about Lil Kim's latest plastic surgery and then saw the photos; I went into complete shock. She looked horrible. What is going on inside of Lil Kim? These questions just rolled through my brain and then it all came rushing back to 1995 in her first Vibe issue: I'll never forget it. During the interview; she was talking about the guys where she lived in Brooklyn and the subject turned to dating. Lil Kim's direct statements were that the "guys where she lived all like the light-skinned girls." And this in a nutshell is what her facial surgeries are about. She's trying to look like the girls that got the guys she wanted to date. When she got the first surgery, Kim stated that she wanted to look like a "Black Pamela Sue Anderson."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All of us saw how Micheal Jackson distorted his face with plastic surgery--and destroyed himself in the end. But it all started with a comment that he heard a fan say when he and his brothers were touring. They were in a hotel and were trying to hide from the screaming young teen girls, when all of a sudden; they were spotted in the hotel lobby. According to Michael in an interview later in life, he said that one of the girls said, "Is that him? He's ugly." And hence; this was the catalyst that changed how he saw himself forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And let us not forget the late Dr. Donda West who was very uncomfortable with how she looked and was talked into plastic surgery by her son, Kanye West. It killed her. A tragedy indeed. But the big question has to be asked: How could such an accomplished woman feel so insecure about herself to the degree that she would not check the credentials of the surgeon who performed the procedure on her that would eventually kill her?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What does all of this say?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For most African Americans, the subject of plastic surgery is very taboo. Many feel it's a thing for insecure white folks. But when you see the negative impact this is beginning to have on many people in the African American community; there is a subliminal message being sent and far too many of us aren't understanding the damage of images we see daily on television programs, ad commercials, billboards, social networks, et al. It's saying that being who you are is wrong. Trying to look like someone else is a form of self-hate. Basically, you have a problem with being you.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Can we just be candid? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The ever growing images of biracial faces on commercial television/movies is sending a disturbing message, and just who is creating these images? White folks. And just why? They have always attacked our image, who we are and how we view ourselves. However, they aren't using Sambo photos any longer; their using dangerous psychology against us--and the said fact: It's working. It's hard to compete with a tornado of images that hit us daily that worship and White beauty and forces an agenda of more white supremacy on people of color.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's your life, do what you want to do, but loving one's self is the greatest gift that you can give to yourself. And all I can say in regards to Lil Kim is that she really needs to look deep within herself and find the real person. What the above picture shows is a monster; and if she's not careful, it's going to destroy her.</div>

<br />
During the 60's, we had the late Fred Hampton (leader of Chicago Chapter of The Black Panthers, H. Rap Brown, the late Stokely Carmicheal, Malcolm X, poet Sonia Sanchez, Angela Davis, poet Amiri Baraka et al. They were the voice of Black America and oh, what powerful words they spoke. What was spoken to us was deep and thought provoking. It came directly from the pool halls, the bars, from the people who went to church, the beauty shop, the barber shop and the grocery store. It challenged not only the white power structured; it dared them to deny the truth of what was said. But a generation later, there is no Black intellect. Just Black pundits with agendas, being paid by the white power structure to say what they think we want to hear. And just exactly what is it that Black people think today?I'm not really clear. Frankly, I haven't heard anything deep coming from anyone in the black community since I was a small child.<br />
<br />
What exactly is the role of a Black intellectual? BAR editor and columnist Marsha Coleman-Adebayo says, "The Black intellectual shows her worth by contributing to the “distribution of knowledge and skills” – and by telling the truth." Link: http://blackagendareport.com/content/role-black-intellectuals<br />
<br />
I agree.<br />
<br />
Our people have the power to change the world. The African American has
been one of the most impressive in the world. We went from being
slaves to having the most known figures in modern history.<br />
<br />
It is very necessary, in my opinion, for Black people to keep the intellectual lines of communication open. Knowledge is power and information is critical, but all to common these days; people seem to have tuned out. What is on your mind? Do you know?<br />
<br />
You will never change what you tolerate.<br />
<br />
Apathy is death. <br />

Once upon a time there was a girl who was trapped inside her cocoon. She hid there because it was safe and no one could bother her. Years went by and that cocoon was a constant shelter, but as the girl began to grow; the cocoon began to feel cramped and suddenly one day, it cracked. Alarmed, the girl tried to repair the cracks, but as she would cover up one, others would appear. Then one day, the cocoon completely shattered. And out of the cocoon; the girl was exposed to the elements. It scared her. She felt the cold and the heat and had to learn to weather storms and take shelter from the rain. This began to toughen her. She suddenly realized how confident she was becoming. Then she began to take more risks and leave her comfort zone. She suddenly discovered all the wonders that were surrounding her and the more she traveled; she learned even more. Her growth was continuing and one day while strolling by a river, she saw her reflection and noticed that her form had changed. She had wings. A slight wind blew and all at once she began to fly. Up, up, up she went. Higher and higher. She giggled. It was fun. The freedom was exhilarating and she danced in the sunlight. The rays of the sun shined on her wings and the colors became ever so bright. She liked this feeling and as she flew higher, a voice came from the sky. She asked who it was and when it answered, it told her that no longer did she need to hide in a cocoon, for now she was a butterfly.</div>

<span style="background-color: #f4f4f4; color: #33332d; font-family: 'Book Antiqua';">Tavis Smiley has patterned himself as the keeper of Black America. Our gatekeeper of sorts. He's been at it for over 30 years and if anyone has paid attention to him lately; it is obvious that he does not like President Obama. I noticed it during the first election race. Tavis had several people on his show summarizing the future president and it just appeared to me that he couldn't muster up a compliment of any kind. This went on until Obama won. Everyone was happy--except Tavis. Moment after moment, Tavis would criticize Obama for many things; then he and Dr. Cornell West decide to do the Poverty Tour. Now, mind you, I find it noble to champion the cause of those who are economically deprived; but both Tavis and Dr. West are very rich men. Yet, they criticize many of the policies of Obama. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: #f4f4f4; color: #33332d; font-family: 'Book Antiqua';" />
<span style="background-color: #f4f4f4; color: #33332d; font-family: 'Book Antiqua';">More recently, Tavis has made negative comments because in his opinion, he didn't feel that Obama is the reality of Dr. Martin Luther King's dream--just a down payment. His words. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: #f4f4f4; color: #33332d; font-family: 'Book Antiqua';" />
<span style="background-color: #f4f4f4; color: #33332d; font-family: 'Book Antiqua';">A footnote to this: As a child, Tavis was so good at memorizing and performing Dr. King's speeches, he got paid. This continued in college. More frankly, Tavis always saw himself as the legacy to Dr. King's Dream....then Obama came along and messed it up. </span><img alt="" border="0" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.islandmix.com/backchat/images/smilies/upload/stink.gif" style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border: 0px; color: #33332d; font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; vertical-align: middle;" title="Stink" /><span style="background-color: #f4f4f4; color: #33332d; font-family: 'Book Antiqua';"> </span><br />

<br />
When I woke up New Years Day, I thanked the Lord for seeing another new year...then, I completed the index cards that I had wrote all of my expectations for the year. On those cards are every single thing that I expect to either achieve or have happen within the year.<br />
<br />
I was told to write things down--and from what I've experienced; you get much of what you expect. The Law of Attraction is real.<br />
<br />
Some people are just naturally pessimistic. I'm not. I'm a dare-devil dreamer and maybe a little arrogant in thinking that I can have whatever I desire--if I'm just willing to believe.<br />
<br />
It was fun doing it and my attitude and energy is in alignment with my expectations.<br />
<br />
From within; I am feeling very positive.<br />
<br />
I'll keep the blog posted for what is accomplished.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned.</div>

<i>Each year, we make resolutions at the end of the year for what we expect for the coming New Year. </i><br />
<br />
<i>Well, I stopped doing that a long time ago.</i><br />
<br />
<i>I make declarations now.</i><br />
<br />
<i>This year, my declaration is TAKING COMMAND. And it literally is a call to arms to make my goals, prayers, hopes, and dreams my responsibility. I have a pretty good understanding of what faith is at this time in my life and it hit me days before the end of 2012: that I possess the power to make those things that aren't, a reality. It's all within me. </i><br />
<br />
<i>I prayed over this of course. It's very important to put God first and seek his guidance. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Going with that, I'm very focused and will be approaching every single desire with the militancy and force of a General leading his troops into expected victory over anything in their path.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Day one: I took the initiative to go after something that I had lost, and now reclaim. Also, I'm continuing with what I started in 2012 that is to be completed in 2013.</i><br />
<br />
<i>A good start and I intend to keep checking off each thing I set my mind to.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Stay tuned. </i><br />

<br />
For those who grew up in Chicago, there are BIG names that had much infamy; aka, Al Capone criminally, and politically, the powerful Richard J. Daley, to name a few, but as relates to the violence in Chicago's south side Englewood community; there are two names that are legendary to these: Jeff Fort, founder of Blackstone Rangers/Black P. Stones/El Rukn's, and Larry Hoover: founder of The Black Gangster Disciples.<br />
<br />
These two men have had more impact on a generation than any President, mayor, congressman, senator, businessman, etc., in recent memory. Their charisma, talent for leadership, organizational genius and fearlessness, help to shape two of the largest, most feared, organized and ruthless gangs in U.S. history.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Jeff Fort</u></b><br />
<br />
Long before the Crips and the Bloods, the Blackstone Rangers(El Rukn's), started in 1959 by Eugene "Bull" Hairiston and Jeff Fort while both were locked up in St. Charles, Illinois' juvenile detention center; they formed a group for protection, out of the street where Jeff's family lived(Blackstone). Their ultimate goal was absolute power. And they meant it. No one could understand what was Jeff's power and hold over these big strong guys; but he had it and he knew how to use it. They operated like a tight military unit.<br />
<br />
Police were even scared of them.<br />

<b><u>Larry Hoover</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
Gangster. Known as "King Larry," leader of the Gangster Disciple Nation. Born Larry Hoover on November 30, 1950, in Jackson, Mississippi. His parents moved the family north to Chicago, Illinois, when Hoover was four years old. By the time he was 12 years old, Larry was on the streets with his friends. Calling themselves "The Supreme Gangsters," the group would often ditch school together and ride the El train around the city. Occasionally, they would engage in petty crimes, including stealing and mugging. His criminal activity soon evolved to shootings and assault.<br />
<br />
The first rule of the Gangster Disciples was "<b>Secrecy and Silence</b>".<br />
<br />
As the gang grew, Hoover emerged as the natural leader. Along with rival gang leader David Barksdale, Hoover decided to merge their gangs into one: the Gangster Disciple Nation. In 1969, after Barksdale was killed in a shooting, Hoover took the reins of the Gangster Disciples, which now had control of Chicago's South Side. Under Hoover's rule, the Gangster Disciples took over the South Side drug trade, making more than $1,000 a day in profits.<br />
<br />
By the age of 24, Hoover had been in and out of prison several times, and had endured six separate shooting attempts on his life. Each time, he survived, and doubled his retaliation efforts. But on February 26, 1973, Hoover went too far. He and another Gangster Disciple, Andrew Howard, shot and killed dealer William Young after a heated argument over money. Both Hoover and Howard were arrested, and sentenced to 150 to 200 years in prison. Hoover was sent to Stateville Correctional Center in Crest Hill, Illinois, to serve out his term.<br />
<br />
But Hoover's power seemed only to grow inside Stateville. He began protecting other inmates, who then became devotees and new recruits for the Gangster Disciple Nation. His control over the other prisoners was recognized by the warden's office, which began looking to Hoover as a positive influence to quell riots and uprisings within the prison system.<br />
Growth and Development<br />
<br />
Hoover, inspired by the biography of Mayor Richard J. Daley, began discouraging violence among his followers. Instead, he made education mandatory for members of the Gangster Disciples, and instructed his army to "go to school, learn trades and develop...talents and skills, so that we will become stronger in society."<br />
<br />
Changing the GD of "Gangster Disciple" to "Growth and Development," Hoover's move to reform began gaining positive attention from the outside. Growth and Development created nonprofit organizations that registered voters, a music label that helped needy children, a series of peaceful protests to fight the closing of public programs, and even a clothing line for charity.<br />
<br />
Dubious prison officials, however, saw Hoover's good intentions as a ploy to get out of prison and resume his illegal activities. While friends and allies on the outside lobbied to get Hoover paroled for his contributions to society, law enforcement agents say Larry was finding new ways to expand his criminal ventures. The Gangster Disciples had grown to more than 15,000 members in at least five states. Their drug profits had also risen well into the millions of dollars—all of which gang members attributed to the leadership of Larry Hoover.<br />
<br />
Transferred to a minimum security prison in Vienna, Illinois, Hoover was living a luxurious lifestyle that involved new clothes, expensive jewelry, specially prepared meals, and private visitations from friends and loved ones. Suspicious authorities began wire-tapping Hoover's private meetings, and discovered that he was running the Gangster Disciple group from within the prison system.<br />
<br />
Worse still, informants revealed that all of Hoover's nonprofit organizations were actually fronts for laundering drug money. According to the testimony of Gangster Disciple members, none of the proceeds for any of the so-called charities actually went to helping anyone in need.<br />
On August 31, 1995, after a 5-year undercover investigation by the federal government, Hoover was indicted for drug conspiracy, extortion, and continuing to engage in a criminal enterprise. He was arrested at the Vienna Correctional Center by federal agents, and moved to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago to stand trial. In 1997, Hoover was found guilty on all charges, and sentenced to six life sentences. Hoover is currently serving his sentence at the United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado.<br />
<br />
The violence and chaos that has been recently reported about Chicago's south side is nothing new. It's just a continuation of a legacy that began a long time ago.<br />
<br />
I think of all of the lives that have been lost because of the senselessness of gang life. Almost 2 generations of Black males have perished because of the influence of these two men. The sad reality of this is that many of these young men had fathers, grandfathers, uncles and brothers who lived the life. A generational curse in full effect.<br />
<br />
Obviously, Larry Hoover and Jeff Fort had natural gifts; but they were used in the wrong way. Both men are imprisoned in Federal Colorado Supermax prison, which also houses the Uni-bomber.<br />
<br />
And the price that was paid was in blood.<br />
<br />
Can Chicago ever stop the violence?<br />
<br />
Someone once told me that the richest place on earth is not a gold or diamond mine. It is a graveyard. Because graveyards are filled with people who never lived up to their potential.<br />
<br />
This is the reality of gang life.<br />

<br />
This morning when signing onto Facebook, I learned of the sudden passing of yet another classmate/friend.<br />
<br />
I went to and graduated from North Chicago Community High School in Illinois and unlike many people around the world; my class was very close-knit. We all lived in the same community, socialized together, went to the various churches, our parents knew each other...it was a family bond. And when we suffered any kind of loss in my community; everyone took it personal.<br />
<br />
While trying to process this today, within the last 30 minutes, I learned of yet another classmate who has been sick for about a year with heart problems. The prognosis is not good.<br />
<br />
I was listening to my playlist and Stevie Wonder's Never Dreamed You Leave In Summer and it really fits the mood.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
The last eight years of my life have been filled with a lot of loss of friends of my family and those I've known most of my life. <br />
<br />
All I can do is give my condolences and prayers.<br />
<br />
Please do not take people for granted and tell those that you know that you love them.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone.<br />
<br />
RIP Fannie. <br />

Get well, Paulette.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Goodness, Lawd!</div>
<br />
No. I'm not late. I just have been offline for about two weeks. And I need to discuss this...like really, really...bad. It's time.<br />
<br />
Couldn't even get my Thanksgiving meal down after hearing about the big brawl that occurred at Halle's house.<br />
<br />
Really? Did Gab deserve to get beat down like that? I'm starting to really feel sorry for this guy. Stockholm Syndrome is beginning to take and effect I guess.<br />
<br />
But I'm not kidding, I think it's high time for people to really ask the real question:<i><span style="color: blue;"> WHAT IS WRONG INSIDE OF HALLE BERRY THAT SHE ATTRACTS THIS TYPE OF ENERGY IN HER LIFE?</span></i> If you're over 35, then you saw Halle come up. And I swear for over 20 years, this woman has had one bad relationship after the other. It was Wesley Snipes who hit her so hard; it literally bust her eardrum, leaving her deaf in that ear. And this was long before she married David Justice and then Eric Benet--divorcing both. All of this failure from one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. What's up? She's had more men than most women will have in a lifetime; but she can't keep any. And she loves to play the victim. Her relationship with Gab lasted barely two years, ending up in hostility and now violence. This new dude better take cover.<br />
<br />
Personally, I'm giving the relationship two years. Anyone wanna bet on it.<br />
<br />
But honestly, men really need to stay clear of Halle Berry. It's clear that she's disturbed and needs help.<br />
<br />
Black men used to love her, but many were turned off after her performance in Monster's Ball. It was a slap in the face to see a Black woman literally have sex with a racist Redneck crakkka (Billy Bob Thornton)--who was responsible for the execution of a Black man; and one of the ugliest white men in the business--then have Hollywood reward her with an Academy award for it.<br />
<br />
In a nutshell, it's one thing to blame a relationship failure on the man, but when you have a history of this; logically speaking, it's not the man--It's HALLE.<br />

<br />
When returning to work after the re-election of President Barack Obama, I was greeted by a headline in my local newspaper of a local woman who was fired for her racist comments on Facebook regarding the Presidential race. Her name was Beth Oglesby. If you look for her facebook account, quite conveniently, it's been deleted. <br />
<br />
But it was too late. The damage had been done. Many people who viewed the comment began taking snapshots of it with their Smartphones and the evidence was sealed in cyber in perpetuity.<br />
<br />
The trouble all started when Ms. Oglesby quipped "That damn N*gger got re-elected again. God Bless The USA!" Angry comments followed, but Ms. Oglesby was not deterred and she continued to make racist comments<br />
<br />
I'm not really shocked by her reaction. I've lived in Georgia for eight years now and this is the true face of white southerners. There are many like Beth Oglesby and she just was bold about her true bigotry against African Americans. <br />
<br />
As one, I'm not saddened, hurt or the least bit upset. Why? Because this was a young white woman who obviously had learned her racist views from somewhere. Which gives a true moot response to whites who dare ask: "Is race still a problem in America?"<br />
<br />
When was it ever resolved?<br />
<br />
African Americans for the most part are not the least bit fooled by the smiles we get in the grocery store, the looks from whites as we go about our business or how whites feign their so called "colorblindness" mantras. No. we are too hip and discerning to by into that. We know what white folks are thinking--even when they try to mask it. It's not so much what they do overtly that condemns them--it's the covert and the subconscious that expose white people.<br />
<br />
Beth Oglesby is a representative of this group She was fired from her job for this act of free speech. The place where she worked began to have their business impacted and had to act. Well, this child is in the cyber archives forever. She can delete her account--not what she did. And the world will read about it long after she leaves this earth.<br />
<br />
Here's the kicker: Apparently, she had Black friends. Wow! Imagine that.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There is something I want to get into today that I feel is extremely important to those in the Black/Caribbean community.<br />
<br />
I'm sure that some of you are familiar with the programs out there
trying to get illegal guns off the streets. No one argues this, but
have any of you ever wondered why is it the police always target
Black/Hispanic communities when the largest group that owns guns in this
country are WHITE Americans.<br />
<br />
I smell fish...<br />
<br />
The Second Amendment applies to Black People as well. <br />
<br />
In this age of terrorism; why on earth would any logical minded Negro
even think not to have a weapon? Who benefits from having a gun free
community if there are folks in the country/city that will attack your
community without provocation?<br />
<br />
Who had the gun the night Trayvon Martin was killed? Why was this young man targeted, really?<br />
<br />
I'm from the south (NRA central) and there are people training even their young children--as young as 5 years old to use rifles.<br />
<br />
I'm happy to report that there are Black Militia groups out there...looking and watching the antics of the enemy. <br />
<br />
All of this talk about getting guns off the streets is yet another
covert tactic to disarm Black people in the event of a race war or other
uprising. Don't fall for it. <br />
<br />
Get armed.</span></span><br />

Why? Africa should be at the top of the food chain because of its natural resources, but who is reaping the benefits of its wealth?

<br />
Good music has always been a part of my life, but I've noticed within the past decade a serious downgrade in the artists that are getting signed to major labels. To be frank; there simply is no GREAT TALENT out there. Just average singers with more gimmick than substance. There are a few notables, but when was the last time you felt <i>AWE</i>--like back in the day?<br />
<br />
There was a time when singers, particularly the super talented superstars like Prince,Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Sade, Babyface, TLC, Toni Braxton, En Vogue, Brownstone, Boyz II Men, Tupac, Ice Cube, NWA, Geto Boyz, Public Enemy, Eric B. & Rakim, Gang Starr, A Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah, Mint Conditioned, R. Kelly, Notorious B.I.G., Lauren Hill, Mary J. Blige, Busta Rhymes, EPMD, Wu Tang Clan, Guy, et al., Black music was relentless and dominated 20 years ago. But not anymore.<br />
<br />
The people that were in the business back in the nineties have now either left or ventured into other areas of the business. <br />
<br />
Napster changed the game. It truly did. Music has not been the same since. Can't blame the fans. They had been telling the music industry through slow sales that they needed to "up" their game. They were slow to respond; Napster woke them up. Link: http://entertainment.lilithezine.com/Napster-Revolution.html And downloading music soon became the norm. It literally killed the CD market and forced music stores to shut down.<br />
<br />
But how can we demand better talent? <br />
<br />
There are many underground artists that don't get any recognition, but fans that are tuned in know about them. Like Kindred The Family Sole and Raashan Patterson to name a few. <br />
<br />
Music gives us joy and improves the environment. I just can't fathom that one day, this may be a thing of the past if things don't change.<br />

On another site, there is a current discussion going on regarding the true intent of interracial relationships and the skeptical perceptions many Blacks have regarding white who want everyone to believe that they are really "colorblind" *roll eyes* and choose non white mates, particularly Black mates.<br />
<br />
40 years ago, they were calling Black people monkeys, gorillas and apes, yet it's now OK for Barbie to bring home Tupac ? Or Shaquita to bring home Tanner?<br />
<br />
Here is a comment from that thread which in all my years on the Internet; I have to say it's one of the boldest coming from a Black male to a white female who seemed hurt that he wasn't interested in white women:<br />
"<em>Not much to discuss Vanilla I don't like white chicks. caused the down fall of black men for generations. Too many black men have found themselves staring down at the ashes and ruins of their homes, churches and businesses, have found themselves locked up, and hanging from ropes, more often than not, minus their dicks, balls and digits, eyes gouged out and disemboweled, all on the strength of some broad's claim of "he raped me", or "he whistled at me", "he dared to look me in my eyes", "he didn't look down or jump off the sidewalk fast enough when I walked by". You ladies have been fucking with, and fucking (literally) with black men since the first ships filled with human cargo landed on these shores. From Emmitt Till to the Scottsboro Boys, the white woman's perverted lust for, and subsequent guilt of that lust, through their dishonesty and lies, has resulted in too much black blood being needlessly spilled. Ever heard of George Stimmey? A lesser known version of Emmitt Till, but the story is no less heinous. 14 years old, "convicted" of raping and killing two little white girls; no evidence to prove his guilt, yet the state of South Carolina executed a boy who was so small, they had to stack books for him to sit on in the electric chair. Certainly too small to have raped and killed two girls. And before you give me that tired line about "that was then" or "this doesn't happen anymore", maybe not at the same rate or severity, but it still happens. Dumb ass brotha sitting in a prison in Georgia, because he fucked some white chick a few DAYS before her "legal age of consent" to have sex. Dude had scholarships to colleges and had been accepted, great student in high school, bright future, but her racist KKK daddy made a fuss and naturally most whites were on board with locking him up. His life is pretty much over. All because he had to have some white pussy. Sad part was throughout the trial she never stepped forward, never stood up for the dude. Dudes still risking beat down and possible death over some white pussy. We've got our own beautiful black women, but they aren't good enough for some of us. If it ain't white, it ain't right. *chuckle* </em><br />
<em>I've been approached by white women looking to hook up, I'm not impressed nor flattered by their attention, and when I flick 'em off like fleas, they have the nerve to be indignant, of course they pull that old bent up "race card"...."oh my god you're a racist!" Can't fathom that there are brothas out here who aren't checking for them, that's the over inflated ego of white chicks. </em><em><br /></em><br />
<em><br /></em><em>So nope, I'm not on that kumbayah shit, I don't like white women, and black men who chase white tail are stupid. That time COULD be better spent cultivating friendships and relationships with their black women.</em><em><br /></em><br />
<em><br /></em><em>I don't hate you all, but I damn sho' don't like you all either.</em><em><br /></em><br />
<em><br /></em><em>There it is Vanilla......it is what it is........."</em><em><br /></em><br />
<em><br /></em><em>If more Black men did this...there wouldn't be so much bickering between Black men and women.</em><br />
<br />
His response was totally apropos. <br />
<br />
As you read this woman's comments--it just hints at desperation...<br />
<br />
However, as she found out: There are more than a few brothers who will tell your behind that you need to wipe the 'ish between your crack.<br />
