So you're going to hire a new Captain for a ship that's sinking?
Stop buying into the political football already.
Class is an illusion created by those with the desire to obtain and maintain control of those they feel are less then them.
What is a "minority" really?
When I can walk past a white woman without her dropping her face with intimidation then we can talk.
Whatever happened to that Cupcake trend?
Some complain when Afro-Americans say there's an agenda against them... There's been an agenda against them BEFORE their feet hit western soil! The real question is... Do you think it ended? When?
Go to the Drum Circle at Malcolm X/ Meridian Hill Park. 5 pm. Sunday's.
There you'll see unity in a way you've never seen it in this city.
So you're telling me a college graduate and a military veteran BOTH can be homeless?
You watch too much tv.
The Yoga fad is an example of how culture and heritage is transformed into a commodity for profit.
In 5 years you'll be throwing the yoga pants away for something else.
Weed is "legal" in DC. However, those who live in public housing cannot legally smoke it inside their homes. Were'nt THEY the ones getting arrested for use and possession?
So I guess it was really for the benefit of the new well-to-do hipster yuppies.
Welcome to DC.
WTF is a "urban" novel?
White privilege is White supremacy. You either buy into it, or you don't.

Government has failed.
Its never succeeded. It never will.
Nationalism has separated us into financial competitors. Politics has separated us into allies or foes.
The illusion of class has separated us into so-called "upper", "middle", "lower" and "poor" classes.
The illusions of freedom and justice are mere lures to force compliance.
Rebel by rejecting the influence and programming.
Switch tracks. Be the operators of your own paths.

The Appropriation of Hip Hop as a Weapon Against the Poor. Part 2
Around the mid to later 90s, Hip Hop in the mainstream (which is the level of most sufficient and effective influence) started making dramatic changes. The topics changed. The music was becoming increasingly all about murder, violence, and other ills. The topics were starting to be about the musician doing the killings themselves. Doing the crimes themselves. Even though they weren't really doing them in real life.
Ask yourself. If you were a criminal, would you broadcast your crimes on media?
These men aren't criminals. They are property used by the Music Industry owned by the government and sub government by agreed and signed contract to: 1) Produce products that generate revenue. 2) To keep the poor in a cycle needed to produce criminals and conditions that create a need to police, fill prisons, and make and spend government funds. 3) To create a security system of stereotypes to systematically erase the White Supremacist pre Civil Rights era America out off the memories and consciences of those on the world scene with the power and authority to engage commerce, make world political decisions, and ultimately keep the U.S. remaining as world power.
Now we have men who literally influence and teach kids, teens and men that "bling" gets you security and respect. Murder and crime gets you a record deal and a lavish life. And that misogyny, unprotected sex, drugs give you fast money and power.
All the while young pregnancy is not only prevalent, but it's accepted as a norm. Rappers can rap about using Molly and selling cocaine. Police aren't arrested or even tryed for murder in the case that's it's someone who can afford a lawyer that's in sync with the higher authorities.
Right now there are more Black men who are in prison today, then were during the height of the slavery trade. Black men definitely aren't the only ones the system is using but they are certainly the primary target. System is running efficiently.
You keep the poor poor, the jailed jailed, and the programs to keep the oils flowing flowing, and that's an efficiently running machine.
The culture of a people now looks to the world to be exactly what they endorse and advertise themselves to be.
Brite Idiot

The Appropriation of Hip Hop as a Weapon Against the Poor. Part 1
I am a huge fan of Hip Hop.
When I say Hip Hop I mean the original and traditional form of it.
Not just its music, but all the elements that eventually came to be known as one multi-faceted subculture.
That being said, I have a belief.
The original concept of Hip Hop beween the early 70s after the Civil Rights Era and the early 80s was created by those living in conditions that were typical of inner city areas across the United States. Poor, abandoned, left in slummy deteriorating conditions with failing school systems, etc.
When it was found that even in those conditions people could excel, create, and even come to accomplish acheivements and certain things that were not so during the not far gone Civil Rights era, something was sown in the fabric of society that would send the culture from 'creative inner-city phenomenon' in the biggest city in the country, to an 'outlet to vent' the catastrophic wreakage that occurred in the Black urban community for a ten year span. This catastrophe wreaked havoc on the community itself.
This catastrophe was a sub governmental sociological and psycho-chemical experiment called "crack".
The government was realizing that those who were still mourning the deaths of Dr Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement (whos deaths largely effected the urban blacks) was starting to actually "overcome". There was a fear that if the culture and movement got too big, the model the poor of New York City created would spread to other major cities and create a group of oppressed citizens (think Black Panther Party) powerful enough to progress, uprise and even rebel against the government.
By 1989 music artists like NWA were rapping about the violence and effects on the community and even influencing mind states one must have to live and survive in the new conditions.
The record companies then began to systematically reject music acts that inspired and even influenced positivity. This lead not only to the influence of the youth in urban communities, but even to the sub conscience idea that violence, crime and poverty is acceptable and even fashionable...

Can a civilized, non violent person be anti government? Yes.
From the day we became conscience of our surroundings and interactions with others, we became reliant on them as the proof that the way everything is, is the way it should be.
As a kid I used to wonder why teachers made little money and struggled to make ends meet, while entertainers had plenty and then some? Why was Micheal Jordan glorified for basketball skills when some parents I lived around earnestly worked more than one job and still didn't make half of what he made in one game, in one year?
Why do food companies knowingly add chemicals to food for longer shelf life and flavor that negatively affect the body? Why do government agencies allow them to do so?
Why do government agencies allow the sell of cancer causing cigarettes but deem naturally grown stimulants as illegal? Even enough for years of jail time for possession alone?
Why is there a lottery in every state with casinos in special destinations around, but it's illegal for one to gamble themselves?
Why do the wishes of lobbyists and the rich have prominent influence on the decisions politicians make before those actually effected by them do?
Why does education cost anything?
The list of questions can go forever.
We've been programmed to believe that without the authority of the machine above us, we would need martial law to protect us from ourselves. We've been lied to. They need us to believe its vital for our survival in order for it to continue to exist. We've been deceived into believing that politics and war solves issues and lead to peace and security. We've been deceived into believing that the "American Dream" (for example) is our hope for the most quality and fulfilling life.
I chose sometime ago not to allow myself to be controlled and influenced any longer. To no longer allow myself to believe I have to walk my path in harmony with their parameters in order to live a happy life.
In other words, slave for the system, contribute to its advancement and upkeep, and if you make it to 65, you can then get your money back and spend your golden years medicated on pharmaceutical drugs to stay alive long enough for you to spend more money and feed the pharmaceutical systems until you die.
Live simply. Live peacefully. Think globally. Take off the veil.

The machine has put a cost on even the most basic needs vital to human life. This has led to unprecedented casualties and poverty. It's put a cost on the food we eat, the education we receive, even the very water that we drink.
Those who contribute the most to the machine based on the parameters it set are those who are the most well to do.
Those who don't are simply enslaved for use as oil to keep its systems running.
Those who can't contribute anything are either in jail, homeless or withheld from everything needed to be otherwise. To kill the mind and body, because the machine considers that one waste. That one is given little to nothing to survive, let alone flourish.
