funny clips and politics

you ever find yourself wanting something for someone more than they want it for themselves? pretty damn frustrating! but you gotta let it go and allow them to make their own decisions. the hardest thing is shutting up even when you think its a mistake. i dont like to silence myself or sensor myself around people even though you need to sometimes. on to funnier things....

i found this and i dont know what to say bout it. funny as hell... (continue reading)

hip hop on life support.

As a member of the hip hop generation, I have seen this movement morph from the forbidden music that denigrated women and reveled in the misery of urban black America into this universal language that is now a billion dollar industry and now, so it seems, back again. As a youth I grew up in the church, and I was instilled with certain precepts of hip hop music. Not only did I believe what I was force fed from the religious right regarding... (continue reading)

I dont use this word half heartedly. I use it with great fervor and a consciousness of company and surrounding. I appreciate everything that the NAACP has done in this fight for equality and justice but could it be that this new fight is not worth it? Could it be that they have lost touch with this post civil... (continue reading)
