The Top Five Tips to Keep Your Ass Alive

The Top Five Tips to Keep Your Ass Alive

1. Question Everything

No matter what the subject or the issue may be, ask yourself questions. What is in this for them? How will this change my life? Not all events, friendships, or relationships are bad, but often the ones that act is they perfectly fine are nothing but scams.

2. Stay On Your Hustle and Keep Cash

I told you I would keep it real and I am true to my word. It is important to always stay on your hustle and think about making money and not always spending your money. There is no reason that you shouldn’t be thinking of a way to make more money. We all are born with a set of skills that offer us a world of opportunity. C.R.E.A.M. Yes- Cash Rules Everything Around Me. The world of hip-hop (not rap) has a huge amount of information to offer to the people. If the banking systems fails, or your identity is stolen, you will need to rely on cash. And no, I am not getting a micro-chip planted in my arm.

3. Learn To Shoot

Yes that is right. One of the most important rights in our country has been put in a place to protect us. With the increase in police officers being let go, a bad economy, and just stupidity it is important to learn how to protect yourself. Yes our tax dollars and local taxes are responsible for hiring individuals that are supposed to protect us, but while they are breaking down the doors of a pot farm they have no time to react to your break-in. It is up to us to protect ourselves.

4. Educate yourself

I am not talking about a College Education but rather what is going on around you. Take a trip to your local bookstore and search for something factual. I often think of our mind as a hard drive. If you fill it with nothing but porn eventually you will get a virus and your hard drive is toast. Materialism is a form of porn, it gets you excited for a moment, and then it passes right by. Educate yourself and you will make better decisions and not fall for the traps out there.

5. Learn to eat properly

After you feed your mind, it is important to feed your body properly. The only way that this can be done is by educating yourself. It is important to understand the source of the food that you are eating. Ask questions like has this fish been imported or raised in a fishery? By educating yourself you will notice the chemicals that should not be included in food. You will understand that cows do not eat corn and that it is important to purchase free range poultry.

These tips will keep you alive in this country that is often too late to respond to emergences. Katrina is a great example of how important it is to be prepared for anything. There are dangers in every part of the United States. Staying on your hustle, stacking money and not material, and reading a book for a change will open up your world. Stop worrying about teenage high school vampires and picking sides, when there are laws that are being created to enslave the citizens of America.

A Message to Fathers Raising Daughters

Raising a daughter is a task like no other. Fathers always hear that their little daughters will have them wrapped around their finger. You will do anything for them.

I am very lucky because I was able to watch my mother and father raise two girls. They raised their daughters to be strong and stand up for what they believed in. They made sure to never break their sprits. It is very important to make sure that a child’s spirit is never broken. Parents play a huge role in the mental developmental process of children.

As a stay at home father I have spent long periods of time with my children alone and have had to deal with all types of situations. When I was left alone with my daughter for the first time, I was in shock. I spent 14 months alone with my son, but all of the sudden I was afraid to change a diaper. I didn’t want to do it, but there was no way that I was going to allow her to walk around the house with a saggy diaper. After overcoming my fear of the little girl zone there emerged several new obstacles that were different from raising a son. These are my tips based on what I have learned so far:

1) Treat your children fairly

My son was rather easy and very calm. My daughter was always very excited and full of energy. She was always trying to keep up with her brother. Since she is younger than her brother she is always in a competitive mode. No matter what the situation is even to this day my daughter is always trying to get praise and beat out her brother in any situation. After hearing all of the comments of how she was going to control my feelings and that I was going to treat her differently then her brother, I made a conscious decision to make sure that I raised them fair and treated them the same way.

2) Give them the attention they need

Children need a father’s attention, but especially daughters. As fathers, our job is to raise children that are productive and can offer something to society. As a father raising a daughter I have taken the approach to show my daughter what it is like to be around a man that treats women with respect. I hope that this will show her how she should be treated by any other man that may enter her life.

3) Treat your wife with respect

This may sound rather simple but this approach is very important. I make sure that I treat my wife with respect in front of both my son and daughter so that my son knows how important it is to respect woman, this also demonstrates to my daughter how a man should treat her in the future. Our current society is still disrespectful to women. It is shown in our movies, music, advertisements, and many other aspects of our society. It is important to offer our children, especially daughters, positive images of women in society.

4) Find role models

My daughter is lucky that she has the opportunity to see such a positive woman like her mother in her life. My wife is a breadwinner, a scholar, a nurse, and to most a feminist. All of these traits have helped my daughter develop into a strong little girl due to roles being reversed in a household. But it is also important for the negative images of women to be counteracted by positive images of women. For example most men enjoy watching sports, if your daughter is in the room and the opportunity is available let your daughter watch women playing sports. My daughter enjoys watching women playing soccer with me. The first time she watched women playing she was happy and sat down on the couch and watched the whole game. This was one of the best moments that I have experienced this summer with my daughter.

5) Teach your daughter to respect herself

Do not force her to become a sex object by letting her run around town in her two-piece bikini, and cover her face in make-up in the early stages of her life. This only helps promote the sex image that the media is dependent on. Fathers, we are raising the women of the future and it is important that they have the tools necessary to find men that will respect them and love them.

So in short fathers- treat your daughter like she is the love of your life. Cherish her and allow her to be who she is. If we love them like they should be loved then we can help them grow into the strong women we know they can be.

A Real Patriot

So what is a Patriot? A patriot is an individual that supports and loves the country they live in. So with recent talks of patriotism and the word “patriot” being thrown around like a baseball, I think we need to take a look at the true meaning of what it is to be a patriot.

I am a patriot to the fullest extent. I love American but I often call out some of its flaws so that it can become a better country. For example, we love our children and when they do something wrong we discipline them and try to change their behavior because of love not hate. Those that think people who speak out against the war are not patriots and need to re-read the definition.

Are the members of the Tea Party patriots? Yes. Are the members of the Coffee Party patriots? Yes. It is important to understand that patriots stand up and fight for their country. But patriots also have the responsibility to call their country out when necessary. We have the right to stand up and fight for our right to bear arms. We have the right to support or not support gay marriage. Even though opinions may collide, patriots fight for their side of the issues.

The new patriots ride in on their laptops and shoot hollow words at the people. Real patriots tell the truth and separate opinions. Real patriots buy American if possible and affordable. Real patriots work to build a strong nation not separate and divide individuals within these borders. I love my country, I love that I have the opportunity to try and achieve my dreams. But I have seen the rights that I enjoyed as a child taken away and not available for me as an adult.

I plan to continue and be a patriot and speak out about what I think is wrong and how we can become a better country. When I talk bad about the war it is because I am a patriot and do not want to watch young men and women die for false freedoms. I have been a victim of police profiling and racist discrimination, but I also have managed to use those situations to make myself stronger.

Patriots, it is our time to stand up and take our country back. We are being overtaxed, undereducated, underemployed, and fed genetically modified foods. It is our job to inform the public. I want the rights of Americans re-instated. I want the Patriotic-Act to be thrown out and burned. Citizens of America, we do not need to be scanned before we take a vacation, no more street cameras on every corner, no more drones flying above our heads and watching our actions. Freedom is slowly slipping away. Let’s all be patriots and fight for freedom to return.

Sherrod and the Scam of Destruction

The battle of race will always continue to be a horrendous fight in this country. No matter how much we try to say that it will be eradicated or disappear the wounds only seem to become deeper and often infected. There are so many organizations that act is if the want to help deal with the issue but only drop the ball and become worse than the enemy they are supposed to be fighting.

These organizations know that their behaviors should not be included in their tactics to support their agenda. An organization that is moving towards equality should understand that equality can not be created by a board of directors or executives. Equality can only be developed by those that depend on grass root philosophies. Organizations that are dependent on any sort of hierarchy defeat the purpose of equality. The movement towards equality should be fluent and smooth. An increase in violence and tension should be expected. These threats can easily be identified and should be prepared for in advance.

Equality is something that can not be reached in a country that was dependent on violence, control of media, and mind manipulation to move their agenda forward. The past few weeks have been racially motivated to a level that I have not witnessed since the Rodney King situation in the 90’s. But instead of a riot in the streets, the media has thrown rocks and have hijacked the minds of the people. Equality is false, like the word Freedom. No matter how hard these organizations try to denounce their racist agenda they often stumble over their own words.

The Tea Party has final been put in the spotlight and are being shown for what they are, racist old white people. Now that an African American is the face of the country even though his strings are still being pulled by the economic elitist of the world the real issues are still being avoided. White Americans have an approval rating of 37% on Obama as a president, now this is according to CNN. This number is considerably higher than I thought but only supports my thesis that a solution to fixing racism in America is impossible.

The NAACP used their power to get the leader of the Tea Party fired. After the NAACP forced the leader of the Tea Party out they decided that it was their turn to fire back at the NAACP and did. Even though this move can be considered as an epic fail, it still shows the power that whites have in America. Sherrod was forced to step down and the NAACP did not even want to jeopardize their name and support Sherrod at all. If it was not for the white farmer that received help from Sherrod she may be in the unemployment line next Monday morning.

The NAACP is a joke, they remind me of a group of house Negroes that want to dress up and play master. They have not helped move the black agenda forward at all. They would rather protect their name instead of investigating the facts. Sherrod speech was presented in front of them. The Tea Party blogger attacked the wrong person Sherrod did not even work for the NAACP; she was just speaking to them. Epic fail Mr. Blogger attack the NAACP not a woman that is presenting a speech and expressing how she overcame racism to help someone. This is like locking up a black man for jaywalking because he was helping an old white women walking down the street and the light became red.

Conservative or not I can not allow for racist organizations to represent me and my views. See I am smarter than the house Negro that continues to vote for the democrats because I think that they want to help me out. If I reach the mountain tops there is no reason for me to hand out money to those that do not want to change. If blacks would rather buy a pair of Jordan’s and some FUBU pants instead of adding that money to rent then that is their fault for being stuck in the projects and the same for those white folks in trailers across America.

Race will always be a factor in America, equality will never happen. Women make less then men, whites make more than blacks, Asian do not even seem as if they have a voice but continue to wash our clothes, prepare donuts, and fill college campuses across the country, Gay’s and Lesbians will always be denied the chance to love each other, and illegal-aliens are the new slaves. If it is not race it will be class, there is always going to be something that separates the people from each other.

The words “We The People” is a very important line that often seems to be forgotten. It is not just about a particular sub-culture or group of people here in America. It is about all of us working together and living together. But as long as we have these idiots in control they will continue to divide and separate us. No matter if a person is on the left or the right common sense should one day kick in and play a role in decision making. So to the groups that are only interested in helping people dependent on race: let Goldman and Sacks run your books for a while and may you have a speedy downfall, so the real Patriots can help this country (and that is not you tea-baggers). Do not tread on me haters.

Welcome!

Welcome to Winters Writes- Buckle up and get ready for the ride of your life! You will be exposed to the thoughts of a black conservative that is not scared to talk about the hard issues, and take on racism head first. I will take you on a journey through politics, education, the hood, the drug war, and anything else that I feel you should be informed about. There is always something to write about and this is not a FOX news approach. We live in a time that everyone is able to voice their opinions and present their agenda to the people. I have an agenda, and it is rather simple: Wake people the fuck up!

My grandmother would have disapproved of that sort of language but I think that it is necessary and the shock value probably almost made you spit out your coffee. Don't worry, you have enough time to catch your breath and wipe off the coffee, but be careful to not smear the screen because the next few lines are rather important.

So I am a black conservative, that is married to a white woman, and raising two kids in the middle of Texas. I am a product of the dream that Martin Luther King Jr. was preaching about. The world that I live in is one that is different from the so-called “black experience”. I understand the issues inside the inner-city and how both blacks and whites play a role in the development of many issues that plague our country.

The Tea Party, The New Black Panthers, Conservatives, Liberals, Socialist, The Klan, media, athletes, corporations, you are all on my list of pawns that play a role to keep the people separated. America has the opportunity to become a leader in the world. The economic collapse was a wake up call for the people of America to understand that our current government is a failure. The people have lost control like a Toyota with a stuck gas pedal. Bang straight into the wall of bullshit, lies and, propaganda. While others know the truth and have decided to wake up and smell the manure that has been running rampant through the walls of the government that has been forced fed pork rinds from lobbyists. Some are still plugged into the Matrix and Neo is never showing up. I will try and be your Neo, black leather not included (it is a little restricting when trying to type on my laptop).

If you want to hear the real sides of the tough issues come and pay a visit to Winters Writes. I may piss you off, I may make you cry, I know for sure I will make you laugh, but the most important thing I want to do for you is to make you think…
