					<description><![CDATA[well said @Natalie...it seems like the worst thing that happened to black people was college. It&#039;s not the right type of education because people just talk in circles. That&#039;s what learning so many useless theories do to you: paralyzes you to the point where no work can get done. Which is an effective way to get people not to take advantage of thee available resources out here, especially for those who are entrepreneurial minded. Black people want welfare but keep getting the wrong kind of welfare. They get social welfare instead of corporate welfare. They just don&#039;t know how to play this game. But it&#039;s on them. If they want the daughters and sisters and female cousins, aunts and moms to keep being used as porn material, it&#039;s their destruction that will come. 2013 is about what you know, not about what you believe. But one thing my pops told me was &quot;son, you can&#039;t make anyone do what they don&#039;t want to do. Even if it&#039;s the right thing to do.&quot; It doesn&#039;t take much for a bloodline to be wiped out (take out the sons and the legacy will be gone forever). And at this rate, we will be talking about an extinct people called &quot;black&quot; that used to exist in America, but through their own hands, literally destroyed themselves. The way they carry themselves now, many of them anyways, that might not be a bad proposition. What other purpose do they deserve out here other than to destroy? This idol worshipping of females, especially in the black community, is a sickening phenomenon. It&#039;s a difference between honoring woman, and worshipping her as an idol. When you worship woman as idol ,or anyone for that matter, they can do no wrong. This acts as a curse because it has stifled any ability to right wrongs and mature as a collective. I mean it&#039;s 2013 and we are still having conversations about  light-skinned and dark-skinned issues. That should have been dealt with in the 70s with the black is beautiful campaign. Well it&#039;s been proven that was just a fad. There is a curse on the heads of black people. And it&#039;s because, despite their precarious position politically, economically, spiritually, health-wise, and educationally, they refuse to change and accept any legitimate criticisms. When you point out their iniquities, they say &quot;you&#039;re being judgmental.&quot; When you refuse to work with them out of frustration they call you a &quot;sell-out.&quot; If you agree with what some whites say about blacks (which is very immature to say legitimate criticism is racist) they call you a self-hating negro. When you focus on getting money, they say &quot;money ain&#039;t everything.&quot; When you try to have a spiritual foundation, they say &quot;that&#039;s a slave religion.&quot; If you go to Harvard, and talk with a intelligent diction, they say &quot;you think you better than me nigga?&quot; If you marry a white woman they say &quot;you hate your mother (although they never say to a black woman when she marries a white man she is a self-hating person).&quot; If you embrace other cultures because you&#039;re getting no respect from your own people who claim they down for you they say &quot;you&#039;re turning your back on your people.&quot; LOL!!!!! No matter what you do, it&#039;s never good enough for these loser negroes with their worthless degrees they might as well burn. What type of infrastructure did black people build with their degrees? Where is it. Because I would love to see it? All these degrees, but no carpenters to build a school for them to teach in. Laughable. Even Malcolm saw the futility in this &quot;black&quot; con game. He was better off going to laws school, taking those millions from those Arabs in Mecca, and staying there. He should have never came back here to these scumbags. In 88 they made a song called &quot;self-destruction&quot; which highlighted the monkey behavior we see now as not only normal, but a valued existence!!! There is nothing outside of the intervention of God himself that will get these clowns in line but, by the way things look, it seems even God is fed up with black people and has taken his hands off of them. He is allowing them to destroy themselves through their own hand. I don&#039;t want to be idolized only respected. However, in this alleged community, people are all too willing to idolize black women not because they really honor her, only her body they honor and I&#039;m talking about the women too. I&#039;ve heard gay black owmen say it&#039;s wrong for a man to objectify a woman, but could tell you who has the best booty at magic City (a strip club in Atlanta). Huh? Barack termed it right: audacity of Hope. He had the audacity to hope these negroes could change? That was cute. It really was.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@AnnYes, my comments were for Black men (real black men) and I was not telling them to not take care of their children, lol. I know you are attemping to twist my words around, which is fine because I expected that. I also expect you to use foul language and alot of CAPS because you must be heard. Looking at what you said and how you said some of it, it makes me wanna assume you are one of the women that makes poor choices BUT I will not go there because I really don&#039;t know who you are. I say that to say you shouldn&#039;t have a problem with what I said. If black MEN actually listen to what I said the only women that would be affected would be the good women because they would have better men to choose from because the men would be doing better with making better choices in women. The bad women life wouldn&#039;t change because they would still have their thugs and players. Don&#039;t get mad because I stand up. AND i&#039;m not looking at TV to see nothing, I run my house not any form of media.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I just dont get you Eric. It all goes back to the fact that we direct accountability at men while extending them very little compassion, we communicate respect but show them no love..with women we direct limitless compassion while limiting the much needed message of accountability, that infantilizes us and while we communicate love for them,  the la ck of accountability shows us no respect..we dont need men like eric defending the indefensible...they think it is showing us respect but puts us on footing tgat is equivalent to that of achild..i always have reservations about men that are so willing to feed the liberal feminist narrative of women as helpless victims and men as predators.. a community that despises its men run the risk of creating despicable men..]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[No disrespect @Gj but I wasn&#039;t negative at all. I addressed someone who completely disrespected me for no reason other than they didn&#039;t like what I said and from that point on chose not to engage in any debate with him further. But even you recognized the article was written from a feminine perspective, although it was written by a male. Men are law enforcers.

 Women are rule/law teachers. That&#039;s why mothers are supposed to teach (stay at home with kids) so that they can bring them up properly with the rules of society, starting with home life first. However, when children get out of line and moms soft approach does not work, dads have to be brought in to correct the behavior. I don&#039;t see what&#039;s so hard about understanding that. I mean you can&#039;t say &quot;there needs to be more responsible men who can lead&quot; but then when those men stand up, with no tolerance for excuses and demand the best from those that say they need to exist, and then say &quot;you&#039;re being too harsh.&quot; Don&#039;t  ask for strong black men if you&#039;re not gonna utilize their presence.

 This is not directed specifically at you @Gj....I&#039;m just speaking in general. If speaking truth is negative, then I don&#039;t know what to tell you. In Chicago, pver a 3 day period, 36 people were shot, and out of these, 6 died. I mean is my delivery more of a problem than the black people out murdering each other for sport? Or worse than females having baby after baby, creating burdens for the rest of the society to have to deal with? It&#039;s funny how people get more offended at what I say, than what&#039;s taking place in their so-called &quot;black communities.&quot; I would love to see negroes out in the street be called &quot;idiots&quot; by these so-called stellar intellectuals. So if I am an idiot for the sake of argument, then what does that make them? last time I checked, I don&#039;t have 22 kids and 17 baby mamas.

 I would love for these same people who get angry for me speaking truth against this sorry behavior, come on here and display the same anger about 70/80 percent of black households having a unwedded mother or the glorification of criminal behavior by young black males throughout society. But that won&#039;t happen. You know what happens instead: I get called names because my critique is not warm and fuzzy. I lost my mother in 2000 at 21, my close cousin (who was like my brother) in October of 2001, and four months later, lost my heart (my father).

 Now I have not once, made an excuse for coming up short because of these losses. Now I could have went out there, and smoked all types of drugs to take away the pain. But instead, I was making Dean&#039;s list in college, the same year I lost my father. So when I hear negroes, some who still have their parents, unable to get their shit together, you think I will let them get away with any excuse making, especially when they are adults? I&#039;m merciful when I need to be. I had no control over the deaths of my relatives. Yet I strive.

 Think I don&#039;t miss my pops, especially on father&#039;s day? Yet, these savages, who have control over the stupidity they inflict upon themselves, have the nerve to say they don&#039;t know any better. Well if you don&#039;t know any better, why do you hide the gun when the police come around? If you don&#039;t know any better, why don&#039;t females tell you all their sexual partners? Because they know there is a penalty, deep down biologically, for a woman to be regarded as let&#039;s say 9damaged goods). Leviticus 21:7 instructs &quot;Man, do not wife a whore.&quot; So for all these Bible toting black women, who love that buttermilk complexion Jesus so much, and believe in the word, why can&#039;t they adhere to the very standards I&#039;m suggesting will help them not put themselves in situations they obviously can&#039;t handle?

 Dude insinuated that I want these women to keep their legs open, when I&#039;m saying the complete opposite. I realize, because so many females can&#039;t keep their legs closed, these dudes can&#039;t stay focused. Remember, sex is very animalistic, even when it&#039;s based in love. The instinct to replicate, is a natural phenomenon. How it&#039;s being done is the problem. At this point, I don&#039;t care if you only believe in that white Jesus. We all know these women have a secret desire to conform to the &quot;white standard.&quot;

 But if you&#039;re gonna really follow that white Jesus, then follow him. Because it seems to me, these women believe in Jesus, but follow negroes who are very willing to soil his royal oats with them. They follow men down the path of destruction all too willingly too many times. I don&#039;t care if they be with white men. Just don&#039;t be a whore for them. Since they &#039;black queens.&quot; Show and prove. Don&#039;t wait til your vagina lips are stretched like the waistband on old drawls and then decide you&#039;re ready to get married, and then when you can&#039;t find a decent man (which should not be all that surprising) complain &quot;there are no good black men around after you let white men slut you out like Olivia Pope on the tv show &quot;Scandal.&quot;

 I see through the games and refuse to play it with these degenerates. Women don&#039;t tell me I have to meet their standard because I&#039;ve never let any woman dictate to me what a standard is because many of them don&#039;t know it themselves. I know what my standard is and could care less if a chick feels I&#039;m judging her too harshly. Black women judge each other way more harshly than men ever do. They show more hatred for each other, but it&#039;s passed off as normal. What is normal about someone hating someone who is prettier than you?

 That&#039;s not normal: that&#039;s biology kicking and your biological profile saying you can&#039;t compete with that particular and resentment kicks in. There&#039;s no solidarity with black women. Look at the reality tv shows. They show you that. But somehow, that will get blamed on black men too huh? LOL.......I have no problem if someone who disagreed with everything I completely say. Doesn&#039;t affect my manhood at all. But if you freaking disrespect me, then all that intellectual crap goes out the window and I&#039;m ready to take outside.

 I can go nerd level or street level: however you want to go. And not because I&#039;m a thug: but because I&#039;m a man and deserve to be showed the same respect I show men on here or any other forum, even when I disagree with them. I worked to hard, to get to 34, to let some random hobo call me out my name, when the &quot;cracker&quot; they love to hate, has not once called me out my name since I&#039;ve delivered criticism online, while this fool claims to be &quot;my brother.&quot;

 Defending your integrity is not negative: it&#039;s called pride. I work too hard everyday to make myself more aware, more conscious of what&#039;s going on in the world, so I can navigate it best I can, so for some dude full of hot air to label me an &quot;idiot&quot; is beyond disrespectful. I was raised by a man, with flaws, but nevertheless, a man. So when you call me an idiot, you&#039;re calling him one as well. Because, my pops didn&#039;t raise no idiots. I can promise you that. That&#039;s why I went in on the clown. Not because my feelings were hurt.

 Don&#039;t misconstrue my reply for hurt feelings. It was me defending my personal integrity against some charlatan who claims to be about helping but how is calling someone an idiot helpful to any situation? I didn&#039;t make a false claim about the irresponsible black women out here did I? Did I tell a lie? I mean all I said was is we are gonna require for black men to be responsible all the time, no matter if he had a dad around or not, then we are gonna require black women be just as responsible, and not use that as an excuse to suck.

 I think that&#039;s &quot;fair and balanced.&quot; Now if the rules are gonna be different (even though I keep haring how much women want to be equal to men but when it comes to accountability for their actions they are more than happy to be on unequal footing) just let me know because there would be really no point for me to go on my diatribes because then I would truly know, these monkeys are hopeless.]]></description>

I mean you can&#8217;t say &#8220;there needs to be more responsible men who can lead&#8221; but then when those men stand up, with no tolerance for excuses and demand the best from those that say they need to exist, and then say &#8220;you&#8217;re being too harsh.&#8221; Don&#8217;t  ask for strong black men if you&#8217;re not gonna utilize their presence.</p>
<p> This is not directed specifically at you @Gj&#8230;.I&#8217;m just speaking in general. If speaking truth is negative, then I don&#8217;t know what to tell you. In Chicago, pver a 3 day period, 36 people were shot, and out of these, 6 died. I mean is my delivery more of a problem than the black people out murdering each other for sport? Or worse than females having baby after baby, creating burdens for the rest of the society to have to deal with? It&#8217;s funny how people get more offended at what I say, than what&#8217;s taking place in their so-called &#8220;black communities.&#8221; I would love to see negroes out in the street be called &#8220;idiots&#8221; by these so-called stellar intellectuals. So if I am an idiot for the sake of argument, then what does that make them? last time I checked, I don&#8217;t have 22 kids and 17 baby mamas.</p>
<p> I would love for these same people who get angry for me speaking truth against this sorry behavior, come on here and display the same anger about 70/80 percent of black households having a unwedded mother or the glorification of criminal behavior by young black males throughout society. But that won&#8217;t happen. You know what happens instead: I get called names because my critique is not warm and fuzzy. I lost my mother in 2000 at 21, my close cousin (who was like my brother) in October of 2001, and four months later, lost my heart (my father).</p>
<p> Now I have not once, made an excuse for coming up short because of these losses. Now I could have went out there, and smoked all types of drugs to take away the pain. But instead, I was making Dean&#8217;s list in college, the same year I lost my father. So when I hear negroes, some who still have their parents, unable to get their shit together, you think I will let them get away with any excuse making, especially when they are adults? I&#8217;m merciful when I need to be. I had no control over the deaths of my relatives. Yet I strive.</p>
<p> Think I don&#8217;t miss my pops, especially on father&#8217;s day? Yet, these savages, who have control over the stupidity they inflict upon themselves, have the nerve to say they don&#8217;t know any better. Well if you don&#8217;t know any better, why do you hide the gun when the police come around? If you don&#8217;t know any better, why don&#8217;t females tell you all their sexual partners? Because they know there is a penalty, deep down biologically, for a woman to be regarded as let&#8217;s say 9damaged goods). Leviticus 21:7 instructs &#8220;Man, do not wife a whore.&#8221; So for all these Bible toting black women, who love that buttermilk complexion Jesus so much, and believe in the word, why can&#8217;t they adhere to the very standards I&#8217;m suggesting will help them not put themselves in situations they obviously can&#8217;t handle?</p>
<p> Dude insinuated that I want these women to keep their legs open, when I&#8217;m saying the complete opposite. I realize, because so many females can&#8217;t keep their legs closed, these dudes can&#8217;t stay focused. Remember, sex is very animalistic, even when it&#8217;s based in love. The instinct to replicate, is a natural phenomenon. How it&#8217;s being done is the problem. At this point, I don&#8217;t care if you only believe in that white Jesus. We all know these women have a secret desire to conform to the &#8220;white standard.&#8221;</p>
<p> But if you&#8217;re gonna really follow that white Jesus, then follow him. Because it seems to me, these women believe in Jesus, but follow negroes who are very willing to soil his royal oats with them. They follow men down the path of destruction all too willingly too many times. I don&#8217;t care if they be with white men. Just don&#8217;t be a whore for them. Since they &#8216;black queens.&#8221; Show and prove. Don&#8217;t wait til your vagina lips are stretched like the waistband on old drawls and then decide you&#8217;re ready to get married, and then when you can&#8217;t find a decent man (which should not be all that surprising) complain &#8220;there are no good black men around after you let white men slut you out like Olivia Pope on the tv show &#8220;Scandal.&#8221;</p>
<p> I see through the games and refuse to play it with these degenerates. Women don&#8217;t tell me I have to meet their standard because I&#8217;ve never let any woman dictate to me what a standard is because many of them don&#8217;t know it themselves. I know what my standard is and could care less if a chick feels I&#8217;m judging her too harshly. Black women judge each other way more harshly than men ever do. They show more hatred for each other, but it&#8217;s passed off as normal. What is normal about someone hating someone who is prettier than you?</p>
<p> That&#8217;s not normal: that&#8217;s biology kicking and your biological profile saying you can&#8217;t compete with that particular and resentment kicks in. There&#8217;s no solidarity with black women. Look at the reality tv shows. They show you that. But somehow, that will get blamed on black men too huh? LOL&#8230;&#8230;.I have no problem if someone who disagreed with everything I completely say. Doesn&#8217;t affect my manhood at all. But if you freaking disrespect me, then all that intellectual crap goes out the window and I&#8217;m ready to take outside.</p>
<p> I can go nerd level or street level: however you want to go. And not because I&#8217;m a thug: but because I&#8217;m a man and deserve to be showed the same respect I show men on here or any other forum, even when I disagree with them. I worked to hard, to get to 34, to let some random hobo call me out my name, when the &#8220;cracker&#8221; they love to hate, has not once called me out my name since I&#8217;ve delivered criticism online, while this fool claims to be &#8220;my brother.&#8221;</p>
<p> Defending your integrity is not negative: it&#8217;s called pride. I work too hard everyday to make myself more aware, more conscious of what&#8217;s going on in the world, so I can navigate it best I can, so for some dude full of hot air to label me an &#8220;idiot&#8221; is beyond disrespectful. I was raised by a man, with flaws, but nevertheless, a man. So when you call me an idiot, you&#8217;re calling him one as well. Because, my pops didn&#8217;t raise no idiots. I can promise you that. That&#8217;s why I went in on the clown. Not because my feelings were hurt.</p>
<p> Don&#8217;t misconstrue my reply for hurt feelings. It was me defending my personal integrity against some charlatan who claims to be about helping but how is calling someone an idiot helpful to any situation? I didn&#8217;t make a false claim about the irresponsible black women out here did I? Did I tell a lie? I mean all I said was is we are gonna require for black men to be responsible all the time, no matter if he had a dad around or not, then we are gonna require black women be just as responsible, and not use that as an excuse to suck.</p>
<p> I think that&#8217;s &#8220;fair and balanced.&#8221; Now if the rules are gonna be different (even though I keep haring how much women want to be equal to men but when it comes to accountability for their actions they are more than happy to be on unequal footing) just let me know because there would be really no point for me to go on my diatribes because then I would truly know, these monkeys are hopeless.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[I read this article a few days ago and was surprised at how negative the comments from rameses and Eric have become. We should try to work together and lay the politics aside.

I was hesitant to read rameses first comment because it was so long but I read it and it had some fair points. Eric&#039;s article had some fair points too. Actually, I thought the article must have been written by a woman before seeing Eric&#039;s name at the end of the article.

I think it would be a good idea for women to be in the home more. Though I think having men staying with the family is more important. Once men stay with the family and support it, we can start having more women stay at home. 

Fathers in the home can fend off the males who try to get to his daughter before committing to marrying her. The daughter will try to wait to find a man like her father who she can marry. The father can lead the son to wait until marriage too. 

The mother has to trust the father not to cheat on her and where she can depend on him enough to stay in the home. He will need to trust her to take care of him, the kids, and the home.

Happy Father&#039;s Day!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@Reasonable mind appreciate your response.....and not because you agree with me but because you approached with civility, a clear sign of maturity. Now let&#039;s look at the facts: every group out here except the African-America, black, colored, negro, nigga, Afro-American, or whatever the latest term they wanna call themselves places a high value on the marriage institution.

 Why? Because, not only does it keep women pure, but it also regulates male behavior. See, this is not about stopping nature: it&#039;s about allowing nature to manifest itself in the most responsible way possible. And quite naturally, because you have two parents around (balance) a child born from this structure is more likely (not always) to have better esteem, confidence, and a self-concept.

 Case in point the Jewish community. Notice how you never see Jewish people in your everyday life? Why is this? Is it because they aren&#039;t around? No. Very much so. Jewish people make it a point to be in everyone&#039;s life, without appearing to do so by taking advantage (and control) of major industries, while at the same time, maintaining the essence of what makes them Jewish.

 They live in America just like black people so to say that this can&#039;t be accomplished is asinine. As a matter of fact, when the Moors (what we consider black) came to Europe, they brought Jewish bankers with them. When the Inquisition came, both groups suffered greatly. However, one made a strategic choice while one made a blunder. Jews, instead of antagonizing the State (America and other European nations it found itself in) it methodically worked within the confines of it and advanced its people&#039;s cause.

 While the negro chose to not realize he/she were not in a position to antagonize and chose to fight. Now many people say Booker T Washington was a sellout. But now, many people are having to re-visit past notions of Booker T and give him his just do because you know what he said basically to the negro:STFU. Keep your mouth shut, learn a trade because he knew the nation was going from an agrarian based economy to an industrial one, and that by learning a trade, you could make yourselves dispensable to the white man, get a job, make money, and build up your communities and then after establishing yourselves economically, then would you be able to address (lobby) government for certain things like every other major group does, including gays.

 Even gays got more money than the negro. LOL.....But you know what black people&#039;s problem is: they have to many scholars and preachers and not enough men of industry. or finance. Or science. Every negro can give you a problem but as soon as someone like myself says &quot;hey mother of the earth, since you&#039;re a queen, why don&#039;t you show it by being more selective in the men you have children with and oh by the way don&#039;t have them if you can&#039;t afford them because many problems stem from this one behavioral choice&quot; we get the captain save a hoe brigade with their whistle calling a foul. Now you know what&#039;s the most ironic thing about this is: these irresponsible females take money from those women who actually go to work everyday and work hard.

 See as a single black woman, because you&#039;re not married, you get taxed at a higher rate. So even within the tax code, you are penalized for being single!!! But what do I know. And oh by the way, medicare and Medicaid, are social programs paid by the lower tax bracket taxpayers. Translation: the 99percent!!!! The wealthy don&#039;t fund these programs because they are intelligent enough to protect their family&#039;s wealth and assets from underachieving people, no matter what their color is. It is every man&#039;s duty to protect his family&#039;s interest and this is exactly what these people do and is what they should do.

 Now fortunately, we live in a system, where one day you can be some geeky kid in college eating ramen noodles, and then become a billionaire (Mark Zuckerberg). Which means what: all you have to do is use your mind and you can actually make things appear out of thin air. magic. But the negro, because he went through slavery, a slavery he inflicted upon himself I might add, now wants to guilt trip the world into feeling sorry for him/herself.

 Now if I don&#039;t use slavery as an excuse, what is that telling you? I mean if anyone has to use slavery as an excuse, it&#039;s the black man. But I do the complete opposite: I don&#039;t even speak on it at all. Why? because personally, I never experienced it. And it would be a disgrace, to use that experience, as a justification for why black people suck collectively right now because on that same note, Mexicans use losing parts of this territory as an excuse for sucking as well and last time I checked, they don&#039;t. If you want to stop media having a negative impact on your kids like tv, then turn it off.

 Or better yet, turn to PBS. I haven&#039;t watched BET since like 1998. Why? Because I have a life to live. See what many of these people don&#039;t understand is, how can you build, if the people you&#039;re trying to build with don&#039;t share the same agenda? If I am saying be responsible, but a female wants to do the whole football team, I mean what can I do with that? LOL!!!! And I&#039;m not trying to be funny either when I say this but, how is making Oprah Secretary of the Arts gonna help change anything? I don&#039;t follow Oprah, nor do I care for her tv show. Oprah got up on her show and told black women years ago that they should be open to dating outside their race.

 I was done with her then. Not because I&#039;m against it. marry who you like. But when that&#039;s the solution, without addressing your issues that make you the opposite of marriage material, I have a problem with that. Her solution was based off the premise that the reason they weren&#039;t getting married was black men. When I was 17, I wanted to be married but couldn&#039;t find any &quot;sisters&quot; to marry because they were too busy aspiring to be Lil Kim. We see how her life turned out. I mean you have black mothers (queens), right here in Atlanta, literally pimping their teenage daughters out to Caucasian males. But that&#039;s the black man&#039;s fault? LOL!!!!! I don&#039;t operate with a slave singing a negro spiritual mind. I don&#039;t sing the song &#039;the white man keeps beating me down and I just can&#039;t get up.&quot;

 What man with any sense of dignity and pride would sit there and act like a chump like that? I mean what the hell is a secretary of the arts gonna do for black people? I mean black people need someone on tv to tell them how to be upright? Is it really that bad? If black mothers are so capable of raising their children, what do they need Oprah for? This brawd not married and does not have kids.

 And it&#039;s funny, Oprah was straightened out when she began living with her father. When she stayed with her mother, she was on her way to baby mamaville. Is Oprah the mother of black people? She don&#039;t even address black people like that when she had her show. Tyra banks covered more in depth issues concerning black people when she had her show than Oprah did. Corrective action is needed by the law enforcers (men). All this pat adults on the head like little children when they make a boo boo is sickening. It&#039;s a shame when they say you&#039;re putting people down when you tell them to stop doing stupid things.

 Atlanta was ran by Shirley Franklin for 8 years. Crime running rampant. Atlanta Public Schools ran by Beverly I forget her name (black woman) and yet these fools had these children cheating on tests. But we talking about Oprah becoming a Secretary of the Arts? LOL!!!!! I have never seen so much stupidity in my life. My goal is to become a 1 percenter, and get the hell away from these 99ers. This is unbelievable. Slaves had more sense than this.]]></description>

That&#039;s a good idea. I&#039;m already prepared, because I already know where you&#039;re going with this. I&#039;ve had my eye on this situation for many years now. about four years ago I suggested that the president add a Secretary of the Arts to his cabinet and appoint someone who&#039;s respected in the entertainment (like Oprah, for example)to try to change the messages that&#039;s going out from the entertainment, television, and movie industries. That&#039;s the only way that we&#039;re going to curb the downward spiral of our society. We&#039;ve got to make having knowledge and class cool again - and even more importantly, we&#039;re going to have to put forward a huge effort to stamp out ignorance.

I BEAR WITNESS
.
I sit, I watch,
and I grow ever more obsolete
as I bear witness. 
1. .
I bear witness to a once vibrant people greedily gulping down society’s hemlock. Even as they claim to be “keeping it real,“ they continue to maim, kill, and despise their own in hot pursuit of the prime directive with the passion of a sheetless klan.
.
I bear witness 
to Black fists in the air in false solidarity promoted by self-serving poverty pimps as the world looks on and giggle at crooked fingers pointed elsewhere.
.
I bear witness
to the superficial attempt to ban the “N-word” while the new &quot;un-niggas&quot; stand around watching children killing children and fathers drugging sons, as they celebrate, lionize, and enrich those who denigrate the very womb of their culture with impunity.
.
I bear witness
to a generation of lost knowledge, cut off from its roots by Ronnie’s “Just say no” generation of crack, greed, death, and political corruption; A generation where the new N-word is pronounced “Responsibility” and the keepers of the flame completely ignore the destructive power of bitch, slut, whore, and tramp. 
.
I bear witness
to the reckless disregard of the words uneducated, irresponsible, and classless. Should we not ban these words as well, or should we ban banning words altogether as we celebrate their meaning?
.
Yes, I do bear witness. 
I bear witness to a new world -
a world where gross ignorance comes disguised as enlightenment, and funky sneakers look down with disdain upon the sweet smell of Florsheim; a world where saggin’ pants and gaudy glitter enable country bumpkins to masquerade as elegant, and the exquisite surrender of eloquence is the very essence of what it means to be hip. 
.
Where&#039;s Langston? Where&#039;s Baldwin? Where&#039;s Oscar Brown, Jr? 
We need you stormin&#039; this beach, because . . .
.
I now bear witness
to a world where motherhood stands alone, to be “dope” renders a smile, and posterity is forced to embrace the wind for paternal sustenance; A world where the walking dead strut about rapping the wisdom of idiocy, and we praise the illiteracy of vulgar nursery rhymes as profound; a world where the mother of salvation&#039;s final gasp is compared to the pigmentation of brown paper bags.
.
Malcolm, Martin, where are you? 
I once stood with a crowd. 
Now seemingly alone, 
I&#039;m forced to bear witness -
horrific witness . . .
to the imminent demise of our people,
.
And my heart bleeds.]]></description>
