Random Things I Hate

Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangster
I never knew that I was a gangster; I was surprised when theses accusations were tossed my way. Politically motivated, a scholar, father and a husband sound more appropriate. It would be rather hard to play soccer outside with my daughter while I was dodging bullets. It would be rather hard to concentrate on my school work while I was constantly looking over my shoulder watching out for the rival gang member to attack me.
I mean, we all know that I live in one the roughest neighborhoods in the world- with the constant howling of coyotes and acres of farmland that surround my small town. This really offers me the best opportunity to recruit little kids and teach them how to do a drive-by. I’m such a hard gangster that I picked my children’s school based upon the merits of the district. Would a gangster be able to write and talk about society in a manner like this?
I have spoken out against the gangster mentality that has plagued our society. I have made a conscious decision due to role models like my father and mother to do something with my life and raise my family in the most respectful and honorable way that I can. I have taught my children about accountability, the importance of an education, and the importance of love and kindness.
But accusations like these are often misdirected due to the ignorance and sometimes racist insecurities of certain individuals. Those that have no connection to the real world but would rather believe the images they have seen on the 100 hours of television they are subjected to on a weekly basis.
But this is a problem with society- we never take the time to know anyone, but rather judge them by the way they dress. People should be judged on their actions. People often spend so much time worrying about other individuals that they do not take the time to look at themselves and understand how they can improve their own lives. There is always room for improvement. Are we all where we want to be in our lives? Is there more that we can do for one another and support one another in a world that is often filled with so much evil that goals seem impossible?
I have lost friends to the streets. They should still be here today. I have seen friends locked up for most of their teenage years. Poverty has increased in America; men and women are dying across the earth fighting for our freedom. There is so much more to focus on instead of passing lies and false accusations. These actions can be connected to the term “Hater”, but I would rather take it deeper than that, and deal with the fact that we have rather sick people that feel the need to lie to make them selves feel better by always talking about others.
God truly does work in mysterious ways. As soon as I started writing this blog there was a knock on the door. It was a delivery of the pictures of me and my wife walking across the stage accepting our diplomas. A reminder that I am not a gangster, that I am striving to do more with my life and I am surrounded by some of the greatest neighbors and friends that a man could ask for.
Being a gangster is not what young men strive for. It is a social and economic issue that has plagued America. Some of these young men and women do not have a chance or opportunity to become better citizens. Some of these children come from broken homes and are surrounded in conditions that I can not even imagine to be subjected to. There are other gangsters out there as well. There are gangsters that bottle water and sell it to the people, pollute our air, and control the media with negatives images of all aspects of our society only in search of profits.
This is a warning for me and all the others that just so happen to wear a pair of jeans and a baseball cap. We are gangsters! We should not and can not be trusted! We live for the excitement of war and killing our own people. While we send our children to school, attend college, and are there for our friends in the darkest moments, we are planning the next drive-by and waiting to sell drugs to our people.
To all of those that think they are surrounded by gangsters and feel the need to lock themselves in their homes with cameras and motion detectors- while you are at it add some bars on the windows and pad the walls of your home, because you are the real nutcases out there. Not those that have better things to worry about than the dog and pony show in their own front yard. The Devil approaches with a smile and spreads lies while he is stabbing you in the back with his pitchfork.
I will see you all later. It is time for me to jump in the low-low, throw on my baseball cap, and do a drive-by with my AK-47 and hoodlum children. I think there are a couple of cows that have been talking mess about me and my boys and I think that it is time for some pay back… gangster style.

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
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
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
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
