| I'm surviving. Semester is damn near done and I still got all my teeth and body parts. lol
I'm loving my life right now, what can I say? I love the people in it,
the conversations I'm finally having with myself and others around me,
the air I'm breathing, the knowledge I'm gaining, the music I'm bumpin'
on the speakers. I feel at peace, ya know? On a natural high. I just
wanna hug somebody. You ever feel like that?
I'm realizing that one of the many keys to happiness in life is being fearless.
I spent so much of first semester scared of what was to come, and
foolishly at that. Probably the reason why I was so unhappy. I want to
be fearless all the time. Is that even possible? Hmmm...
Okay, so maybe it's just this springtime weather that's got my feeling this way. lol

| So I was watching the news last night and this story comes on about
this school district that banned elementary school kids from playing
tag during recess. I said to myself, they BETTER have a legimate
reason--you know, like maybe some of the kids have e.coli and it will
spread when infected kids touching other kids, or perhaps tag these days
has become
very sexual in nature lol. But I was very wrong. For fear of law suits,
kids aren't allowed to play outside in case someone gets hurt. But
isn't this perpetuating laziness and inactiveness in younger
generations? Yet we complain when kids rather play video games and
watch TV instead of being active outdoors. We premoted that shit by
taking away such simple liberties. Sometimes this hypocrytical
nation gets on my last nerves. Keep absurd nonsense like this up and I
may just have to raise my kids abroad.
Also, on a completely different note, the "Y'all should get lynched" video was removed from YouTube. The video addresses real shit--the
ignorance, exploitation, and maliciousness in Black entertainment and
all these uncletom artists that
are effectively brainwashing Black youth. A message that needs to be
heard. I hear people complaining
about how no one in Hip Hop is saying
anything relevant, but when a brother does come out with a song about
some real issues, saying something other than “Do Yo Chain Hang Low,”
Lord have mercy. Can't have too many sensible brothers and sisters
walking
around, it seems. And please tell me why Lamb and Linx, pre-teen white
supremists, with songs like the following somehow remain on YouTube:
1) Dawn of A New White World
2) Birth Of A Nation
3) Purest Soul
4) Tainted Blood
5) Affirmative Blaction
6) Reggin & Ekik
7) The Cleansing (interlude)
8) Short Drop and A Quick Stop
9) Burning Cross
10) N.A.A.C.P. (Niggers Against A Colorless People)
11) Funny Rich Nigger
12) Crack Babies
13) Nigger Lovers
14) No Darkie In Me
15) End Of A Black World
16) Hess' Praye
Suspicious...
And yes that is a true story. Read the following if you're interested.
"By Claudia Rosett and George Russell
What does it mean for Black America that a hate preaching music duocould debut on the Billboard albums chart?
This week, the Billboard albums chart's top five is packed with nothing
but new releases, with Bakersfield, CA Pop duo Prussian Blue shocking
the nation by taking #4 after selling 91, 000 copies of "End of A Black
World" its first week out.
The album is also serving as the soundtrack to a remake of one of the
most controversial movies in U.S. history,"Birth Of A Nation".
"End of A Black World" is the third and most successful album for 12
and 13 year old Lamb and Lynx, who have recently relocated to a private
compound in Salt Lake City, Utah after their last album gained them
national attention and death threats. The girls were lost, especially
in December of 2005 when their father was shot twice by an AME
Minister. However, their father survived and their career was revived
by what seems to be an unfathomable paradigm shift in American values.
"It really breaks my heart to see those two girls spewing out that kind
of garbage, " said Ted Shaw, civil rights advocate and president of the
NAACP's Legal Defense Fund.
"This is bullshit. Right now I am more so shocked that an album
advocating the extermination of the black race could be so widely
received by America," continued Shaw, who plans to protest the girls'
album and call for black artists to boycott Billboard.
Jessie Jackson of The Rainbow PUSH Coalition gave the following
statement, "White America has spoken. Billboard has spoken. This is
only the beginning."
The beginning is just what Lynx and Lamb, who have been nurtured on
racist beliefs since birth by their mother April, are hoping for. "We
hope to bring about change in our people, " said Lamb. "We hope that
our album and Birth Of A Nation will show our people exactly what needs
to be done to make this country safe and white."
When asked about their inspiration for their latest efforts, Lynx gave
this response. "I saw white people hating white people. I was afraid
that America wanted to be black, " said Lynx. "I saw that funny
nigger's show where he made a mockery of the KKK and white people were
laughing. This broke my heart."
Lynx was speaking of Actor/Comedian Dave Chapelle and his comic sketch
depicting a blind, African American, Ku Klux Klan leader who was
unaware that he was not white. Dave Chapelle is also believed to be the
inspiration of their single, "Funny Nigger, " which describes the
gruesome fate of blacks who taunt whites. Dave Chapelle was not
availible for comment.
Prussian Blue appear to have gone from one of America's dirty little
secrets to Pop princesses overnight. The group is now fielding offers
from major record labels such as MGM and Geffen. This may be only the
beginning."
Oh Amerikkka. So many thoughts on this but perhaps it's better for me to keep these to myself.
