The Mis-Education Of Black Children

Students in Detroit and apparently around the country, are FRUSTRATED with the poor education they are receiving in their schools. I believe what we need to do is go back to educating our children, and now more than ever, we have the tools to do so. Utilize the internet, utilize public libraries, take away the television and use study time as family time too. Read with your children, help them with their math, science and history assignments. Make it fun so it won't seem like you're forcing them to do this.

NPR discusses how non-Black children are preparing for the SAT as early as 7th grade. I believe our children should start prepping as early as 2nd or 3rd grade: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5383634

I know that Black students can produce better test scores when taking the SAT's, they just need to be better prepared and that entails proper education on a long term basis.

Basketball Wives L.A. Season 1 Episode 7.....It's All About Draya

Imani, Laura, Gloria & Jackie are all full of SHIT! They all find ways to work Draya into their conversations yet Laura just swore up and down to Draya that she doesn't think about her. This is the same bitch that googled Draya's name on the internet and helped spread the word about her abandonment case and arrest record.

When Laura addressed Draya in the park she referred to her as a jump-off, a hooker and whatever other little nasty name she could muster out of her dumb, gutter ass mouth. Draya is doing her best to control her hands and behavior, which I applaud, because frankly Laura and I would've likely had ended up on the ground. I see she didn't learn from that last "Malaysian" pop to watch her damn mouth!

Imani looked pissed when Jackie said that she didn't dislike Draya. She really wants all the women to HATE Draya as much as she does. But what Imani doesn't understand is that most of those women don't carry the same INSECURITIES about age, weight and looks, that SHE does. Imani is the type of bitch that thought she would be young forever. She has obviously found it difficult to age and although she likes to pretend she's so classy and graceful, she definitely is not. And her lack of etiquette & humility shows whenever Draya is around. Did you guys catch that remark she made to Draya in episode 6? Draya said that the guys that would show up in the clubs would choose her because they liked the classy strippers and Imani's response was "that's a contradiction in terms". What a BITCH! LOL.

Imani acts as if she's from royalty or wealth, but she is undeniably classless. All she does is pick on Draya and gossip about Draya & Malaysia when they aren't around...

Jackie Christie is a psychotic, bi-polar acting, really old battle axe. She starts more drama than NBC, but acts as if she's a peace maker. This heifa needs to be slapped too. The proof of her bi-polarism showed at the charity event. She was starting to gossip about Laura to Draya after pretending all this time to be Lauras' friend. Then she starts beefing with Laura at the event. Jackie was second only to Imani in dogging out Draya. Talking about how disrespectful she was to miss her wedding, etc., etc. Now at this charity event she's up in Draya's face gossiping about Laura and what she said. Two faces on one head.

Everyone is watching Draya, but they need to be watching Jackie. She is truly a trouble making, two-faced busy body with a know-it-all attitude. I really don't care for her on this show.

Draya is the draw and if these morons run her off, they can kiss this show goodbye!

Basketball Wives L.A. Season 1 Episode 6....In My Opinion

I've been watching this show since the beginning and it's kind of boring, too many old women; Jackie, Tanya, Kimsha, Imani.

The only spice in the show is Draya and they keep fucking with her!! She is THAT show and although I don't like what I am hearing about her abandoning her son and leaving him in deplorable conditions at her home, I still think she should be a part of the show.

I must say I dislike Imani the most though. She is just an old, bitter, overweight, jealous-of-Draya's youth, lonely heifa. She constantly has Drayas' name in her mouth, yet talks about how worthless she is. Worthless means lacking in value, but there must be some value in her if Imani is constantly talking about her.

Jackie bitching about Draya not attending her wedding is bullshit. She didn't really want her there anyway! So, this is really all about wanting beef and she's wayyyy too damn old for that. Jackie comes off as trying to be the peace maker, but she's really a shit starter. She did it with Tanya and now she's doing it with Draya.

I see Gloria is still hanging in there with Matt. She acts as if she's got it all together but this bitch knows if Matt decides to marry they will marry and if he decides to chuck deuces, she's out! PERIOD. She sounds like she finally woke up and is probably stashing benjamins now. Well, it's never to late to wake up.

What is up with Jackie crying over her 18 years old daughter kissing a boy. Obviously, it wasn't serious and had happened some time ago. The fact that she's so delusional makes me wonder what Doug sees in her.

So, now they've dug up Draya's police report and it just makes me wonder why the hell can't they find something better to do with their time than occupy it with Draya related issues.

The four judge panel; Jackie, Laura, Imani & Gloria with one alternate; Malaysia, seems to be on a none stop witch hunt!

Bottom line....if they get rid of Draya, they have formally killed the show!

Why Niggas Always End Up Broke!

I just read that Souljah Boy just bought a G5 jet for $35 million dollars with a $20 million dollar "upgrade" in luxuries including four bars, italian leather seats and custom paint with his logo on the jet. Ha! what a joke in less than 10 years this nigga will be BROKE! Just like MC Hammer.

I don't understand the mentality of some of these guys who come from nothing in terms of wealth and once they make it, they blow through it faster than a hurricane in Mississippi. It's really quite sad because I love to see my brothas and sistas get money but I would just like for them to keep it and pass it down to their children and their childrens-children. In other words LEAVE A FINANCIAL LEGACY.

But most niggas don't think like that. And I use the term niggas because I know that most Black people do think about their legacy, what they would like to pass down generationally, etc. This "new breed" of negroes have got it fucked up. They only think of themselves. Not only that but I guarantee you it never crossed his mind to negotiate the cost of any of that; the jet, the customizing, nothing. And why would he need four bars on a plane that seats only 16 people max?!

It's just like Birdman losing two million dollars on a bet. Our ancestors are probably flipping in their graves right now. That same two million could've fed thousands of Black people that are starving in this country every day. These men don't think- they just act and many times their actions are simply selfish.

Even the Kennedys, who did not come from wealth, had enough wherewithall to understand that once they made their fortune they had to maintain it, spend it wisely and save enough for the next generation to use. That is what a great number of these types of Blacks lack; wisdom.

Anyone with a great credit rating or a ton of money can buy whatever they want, but a wise man knows how, when and what to spend it on....

The Black Woman...

The degradation, destruction and demeaning of Black women have mostly been by the hands, mouths and actions of Black men. This extends from the males who became "fathers" because they insiminated seeds of life into women they had no more use for than a dog has use for a stray. This is also addressed to males that use the bodies of Black women for money making purposes, something to pass the time with or simply some one to keep you entertained until the next bitch comes along.

And I use the word bitch because IF a Black man truly thought of a Black woman AS a WOMAN, he would not treat her as anything less than that.

All too often Black women are blamed for the anger, repression, emasculation and irresponsible behaviors of Black men today. But let's address those issues one by one.

1) The Black mans' anger. You are truly angry at yourselves NOT us. Because if it were not for us many of you would have been parentless. Obviously some of your fathers were not around to help raise you and so it was left up to a BLACK WOMAN to do the best she could in trying to provide for you with a home, food, education and clothing. Sure, there was less family time spent because the Black woman had to get out and earn a living, but your anger is misdirected. You don't punish or speak against the ones that have saved you from poverty and homelessness, while embracing the one who abandoned you (like your father) or worst still embracing those that had NOTHING to do with your survival (like white women).

All too frequently I hear brothas speaking highly of white women and how they BELIEVE they raise their children, handle their men and function within their families. And I think to myself are these niggas blind, deaf and dumb?? It is usually a white womans' child that will walk into a school or public place and shoot the it up. White men cheat on their women/wives too, did everyone forget the infamous Steve Garvey fiasco? Or what about John Edwards cheating on his loyal, DYING wife? So, if the white woman reared her family so much better than Black women does, WHY are they having just as many issues with their children and husbands as we are?

2) Repression. It is not the fault of the Black woman that you can not find a job or manage to keep the one you finally got-only six months ago, if that. It is up to you to find a way to earn a living just like your mother taught you through her example of getting up every morning and taking the bus if she had to, just to get to work and provide for you. I truly do not understand any Black male that blames the Black woman for his woes. Many of these women are left with no other choice than to make sacrifices at your expense for the greater good. And she suffers as well. Most mothers want to spend time with their children but when it becomes a matter of live or die - what would you have her choose?

3) Emasculation. Women in general recognize the wrecklessness and havoc that men can create with their barbaric attitudes, so we as Black women use an iron fist sometimes when dealing with Black males because we understand, that should we go "easy" on you, you will take that kindness for naivety or weakness. Our intent is not to emasculate you but to preserve normalcy in our households and beyond (on the street, in the workplace, etc). Ruling with an iron fist can usually keep a person in line and OUT OF PRISON!

4) Irresponsible behaviors is almost synonymous with Black men. There are certain things that you do in society and/or within your own family that you KNOW should not be done like; committing crimes, impregnating women you are not married to, focusing on how you're going to cop the next BS sneaker instead of focusing on how to pay your goddamned child support and on and on and on. Many of you guys are irresponsible DESPITE the fact that you were taught better, yet you still find a way to blame the Black woman. It's absurd!

The Black woman doesn't force you to deal, smuggle or use drugs and/or alcohol. The Black woman usually encourages you to stop those bad behaviors and find a business to invest in instead of investing in ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES aka street commerce. There are Black women that have tolerated infidelities, out of wed-lock/relationship children, etc. Yet she still would stand by you because she saw in you what YOU DID NOT SEE IN YOURSELF; value.

A Black woman will be the backbone of your family not the one that destroys it. She will encourage you, uplift you, stand beside you and always support you in your endeavors. She picks up the slack where you have broken down and she dries your tears when no one else even knew you were in sorrow.

Yet some of you still prey on us and try to tear us down either by your insensitive & atrocious behavior or by your offensive and degrading words.

So, I say to hell with the degradation of Black women and the hate speech that a lot of Black men are spewing in our society today. There are no perfect people and yes, some of us are beyond flawed, but generally speaking the Black woman is the best thing the universe could've given to the world and especially given the Black man.

Oklahoma Pharmacist Sentenced For Killing Would-Be Robber

A white Oklahoma City pharmacist has been sentenced to life in prison for the shooting death of would-be Black robber Antwun Parker. I refer to their race for one reason and one reason alone, the media has played this up to the fullest.

In this case I don't know how much race played in this instance. If I, as a business owner, was looking down the barrel of a gun I would shot the culprits too. But I'm a bit torn on this story because the pharmacist shot the unarmed 16 year old would-be robber once initially and then went back to pump five more shots in him as he laid unconscious on the ground and UNARMED...

I am all for people protecting themselves, their property, their loved ones and whomever else they need to protect when faced with imminent danger. But this was not the case. After the first shot put down the 16 year old, the 14 year old armed co-culprit (Jevontia Ingram) ran out the front door of the business.

Jerome Ersland, 59, justified his additional shots by stating that the would-be robber still posed a threat to him and his two co-workers. Thousands of people have signed petitions asking Governor Mary Fallin to pardon Ersland or at least ease his sentence....

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Because here's my problem. He shot the kid in the head the first time and the kid fell unconscious to the ground, unarmed. The 14 year old kid who was not shot was actually the one with the gun and he also was the one that got away. So, there was no threat of harm to Ersland because the guy with the gun ran off & the other one was on the ground, unconscious, but still alive. He was not justified in killling him. He would've only been justified in shooting that kid and killing him had all five or six shots been consecutive. At least then he could've said well, I shot at him because he posed a threat and his partner had a gun so I was shooting at them both or something to that effect. But, when he had an opportunity to call the police and an ambulance he instead opted to go behind the counter, grab a different gun, come back, stand over the kid lying on the floor and pumped five more shots into him for good measure. I have a problem with calling that self-defense.

That is not self-defense. You are not defending against anything! You are enraged and shooting in cold blood. If this were a wetback I would not have a problem with this. But I have a problem with THIS- because the kid was Black, young, possibly made a mistake, possibly went along with his friend to see if they could pull the caper off and ended up getting his life taken away by an overzealous pharmacist that very possibly had pre-existing animosity toward Blacks....

But guess what else I have a problem with? The mother of the dead would-be robber now wants to sue the pharmacist!

1) This man is going to jail for life. How is he going to pay her? 2) How much responsibility lies with her 16 yr.old son who knew what he was doing was wrong? 3) How much of this lies at her feet? Afterall, where was she when he was running the street? Why didn't she have a tighter grip on him?

According to the probable cause report, Ingram (the 14 yr. old) said he was contacted by a friend of his mother's and a cousin of that man, both later identified as Emanuel Mitchell and Anthony Morrison. If your child is hanging around people like this YOU are responsible for keeping an overly watchful eye on your child and if need be stop that child from hanging out with those types of people PERIOD.

I'm so sick of people trying to find someone else to blame for their shortcomings. She failed as a parent, she failed as a protector and she will fail in this civil suit as well. She's a three time loser. Her son greatly contributed to his own demise and the fact that this pharmacist was obviously out to kill does not take away from the fact that her son was shot in the commission of a criminal act!

Like I said, I am torn because there was wrong from all parties. I believe the pharmacist should've been armed and used his gun when faced with the armed would-be robbers, but I do not believe he should've  went and shot the kid AFTER the kid was down, not to mention UNARMED. The kid was wrong for trying to rob these people and surely contributed to his own death just by being there under those circumstances. And the mother of this kid has a cross to bear as well because of the company she allowed her son to keep.

It's a fucked up situation all around, because now you have a man in prison for life who was, at least at first, just trying to protect his store and co-workers. You have yet another Black male gone and will never see graduation, prom or his first child. And you have a mother who will never watch her son grow into manhood, go off to college or have a family of his own....

No one wins. It's all bad. It's all bad ya'll.

Executed Illegal Alien Shouts Viva Mexico! Before Dying...

It's too bad they didn't send this disloyal, anti-North American, piece of rapist gutter shit back to the country he pledges his loyalty to years ago....in a body bag.

Humberto Leal Garcia was an illegal alien, whose family brought him here from mexico when he was two (2) years old. When he was around twenty-one (21) years old, he raped and murdered a sixteen (16) year old girl in Texas. He confessed to the crimes but his lawyers have argued that he was never given the opportunity to seek legal assistance from the mexican government under the international treaty.

The Obama administration tried to stop the execution by appealing to the Supreme Court and asking that they halt the execution until Congress could consider a bill that would bring the U.S. into compliance with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations regarding arrests of foreign nationals (that would've taken at least 6 months). This bill of course was introduced by U.S. Senate Vermont DEMOCRAT Patrick Leahy.

This illegal rapist/murderer confessed to his crimes, was given appropriate legal representation and a fair trial and they still were trying to find ways to keep this scumbag alive.

But please tell me why is it that when they are here illegally, we can not get rid of them? Law enforcement are not even allowed to ask them if they are here illegally. Isn't that ironic? Afterall, the mere word illegal implies they have broken a law.

But we can't get rid of them or refer to them as illegal aliens, when they are here-undocumented and living off the social services, freedoms and fruits of North America. However, we can refer to them as illegal aliens (foreign nationals) for purposes of arguing that they have been "denied" access to proper legal assistance. What a convoluted sham!

But the Supreme Court finally did something right and did not issue a stay of execution for this illegal alien and neither did the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry. Viva TEXAS!!

The Obama administration is a disgrace. He has done everything in his power to show these illegal aliens that he's their friend, even at the expense of the North Americans' trust in his judgement and actions. Most people, especially most Black people, see President Obama as a man first, they do not see him as a grimy, say-what-you-have-to-say-to-get-the-votes-you-need politician. But I do and I always have. The only reason I voted him into office initially was because I felt he was the lesser of two evils. However, now I will vote for a different candidate next election. Another four (4) years of the Obama administration and the national breakfast will be chorizo with beans and rice!

The illegal alien shouting "viva mexico" is a true testament to the common sentiment of most of these illegals that have come here after escaping the horrors and poverty that plagues mexico and south america. They have managed to pop out anchor babies a.k.a. illegal aliens in hospitals that give them full medical care, find housing at discount rates -compliments of Section 8 and other housing programs initially created to accomodate LEGAL North American citizens, get hired for jobs that really should be reserved for North Americans and are living fairly decent, carefree lives. Yet they pledge undying allegiance to mexico.

Any illegal that pledges loyalty to anywhere other than North America should be sent back to that country. PERIOD. These people are terrorists with loyalties to outsiders. Mexico is not our ally.

And truthfully, I wish they would high tail their asses back to the land they love so much and let us get back to living without the early morning sounds of roosters, goats and 10 kids crying all at once. I would love to be able to drive and not almost get into an accident because one of them barely missed hitting my car and I would love for my fellow citizens to get back into the work force-send all of them back to where they came from and I guarantee you the unemployment rate will be cut by three quarters (3/4).

Most people don't want them here anyway. They are undesirable as neighbors, mediocre as employees and they cost this country billions in numerous sectors; housing, welfare, social services, to name a few.

The people in Senate seats and the House of Representatives (which is a sham. who are they truly representing) aren't neighbors with these people. The only occasions when they are in the company of mexicans is when they are being served food, having their cars waxed or their lawns mowed. And after a couple of hours they send them back to the ghettos. So they don't see what we see, living amongst them daily. Because I will guarantee you if Hilary Clinton or Dianne Feinstein walked out of their front doors and into the cesspit that is now greater Los Angeles they would demand those illegals be send back so fast it would make your sombrero spin. They would want a clean city to walk their dogs in, brunch with their friends in and show off to their parents and so DO OTHERS.
