desparate times call for....ethical measures??

Whaddup folks how yall been? Yeah this is sungod from the dirty dirty(cant u tell lol). Recently i have been pondering over this particular topic and this past wkends catastrophe in Chile has prompted me to convey my thoughts. We all know what happened in Haiti a few months ago. It was disheartening not only because of the devastation but from some residents(really gangs and itz affiliates) were looting and basically causing civil unrest in a country that is already on the brink of destruction. This has apparently also occurred in Chile were there have been reports of looting.

I (praise ALLAH) have yet to be in a situation where anything goes to survive. I am on the outside looking in yet i feel i have the right to speak on it at least. I empathize with all who are victims of circumstance specifically ones due to natural disasters. I know that resources are scarce at best and aid trickles in at the speed of a lazy snail but that doesnt warrant stealing and/or monopolizing resources. Many are already in a state of despair and to cause unrest and thievery is simply unjust and a cause for concern. It happens all the time when pandemonium occurs. During the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina ppl know of the horror stories that happened in the Superdome. Women were raped, ppl robbed and security forces supposedly assisting the masses barricaded themselves in a room?! wtf??!!!

I know ppl will ask the question if my daughter needed medicine and the only way to get it whas to steal it would I? Hell yeah but the point is I would hope that I would try to exhaust all possibilities before taking that route. I dont know what goes through ppls minds when during extreme stress but morals if practical should be applied at all times. Kats in Chile stealing TVs wtf u gonna do with that when there's no electricity?! Things like dat where items stolen offer no immediate help to u or anyone else is what i am upset about mostly. It aint even the fact that looting is goin on per se cuz i can see how ppl need help but think before u act. Ur consequences affect a lot of ppl not just u.

The youth will set u free...

Sorry for the little delay just been super-busy tryin to get into grad skool and all. Anyway I just wanted to touch base with you about something das been goinz on(lol). I was..ummm well "volunteered" to mentor underprivileged youth in a local neighbor"hood". I am a science major so the subject i teach is guess...science!!!! I just started but i have to say that itz a long road ahead. Many of the students dont even know basic science like whas the scientific method? Now i know everyone is not built for science like dat but all should know some of the basics. It is not even that..really cuz i know most youth in impoverished areas could care less about what atoms and molecules do but it is the commitment to learn SUMTHIN (the lack thereof). I assume they casually go through skool life like not being held to higher standard of education like itz not important or that they just dont care. Of course it starts in the home but it takes a village ya dig. So i know we are all busy with our own lives but take the time for the youth whether it be mentoring or just saying something positive to them. It is woefully needed in a place where itz cool to be a thug. The youth need a better outlook on things and what better way than through education. Itz all about commitment so ask urself are u committed to their future?

say what u feel....?!

good morning world this is ya boi with a another hard hitter. Today imma briefly discuss Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid. In 2008 he privately stated that Pres. Obama was a sure candidate because he was"light-skinned...and with no Negro dialect(aka "ebonics"-a term i loathe btw) unless he wanted to have one." WTF??!!! Since then Mr. Reid has been the brunt of controversy over his insensitive remarks. Many Republicans want him to step down as Majority Leader(of course they do). He has now apologized to Pres. Obama and other African-American leader to pacify what is obviously a veiled racist remark.

Now let me tell u something(nah i aint fire marshal Bill either..lol) this is completely and utterly ridiculous. How come when the ofays have a Freudian slip or rather i shall call it "racial Tourettes"(nigga..oopps excuse me) they immediately run to the nearest "Black leader" and show contriteness for their wrongdoings? And furthermore who the hell are these so-called black leaders and who elected them to speak for the masses of the black nation? Not all white ppl are racist and in this day and age the younger generation is less inclined to think that way because itz a different era. I joke sometime with my folks saying that most whites call u "nigger" every day. Now while i don't believe that completely there are some who do still think that way and will continue til they die off like the dinosaurs they are and with them that prehistoric way of thought.

I also have a side opinion and somewhat controversial in of itself...i somewhat agree with Mr. Reid. I know I know ur shocked...not sungod...yeah me! If Obama wasn't an articulate well-educated AND light skin he would have had a harder time being President. I truly believe that. The reason is cuz ofays are scared of us....itz the fear of the black planet syndrome. If a brutha from hood,USA well versed in politics yet maybe not as articulate or unable to ameliorate white suburbia ran for President i don't think he would have made it..not initially anyway. Now that Obama has opened the door it is possible. I don't doubt that other bruthas or sistahs could have made a run for office but being that Pres. Obama has all the "right" tools for Amerikkka it made it possible for him to gain office. In the past there has been debate over light-skin vs dark skin. Mulattoes, as they were called where not demonized as harshly as their darker counterparts.

Kudos to President Barack Obama i don't take anything away from him. I just think Sen. Reid struck a nerve not necessarily because of the insensitive remark but because i think it echoes in the minds of many ppl including Afrikans-n-Amerikkka.

welcome to the Terrordome

whaddup dudes and dudettes. I would like to respond to the recent failed terrorist attempt to blow up a plane in Detroit during the holidays. There has been much debate over who is to blame for the mishap of allowing a known potential terror suspect to board the plane.

I have no doubt that there are those who view Americans as infidels and constantly attempt to stamp out any hope for world peace. Yesterday Pres. Obama made a speech about the incident claiming that he and others in various agencies are to blame. I respectfully disagree with that statement however. I know that for PR purposes Pres. Barack Obama HAS to say these things but they are simply not true. There are a multitude of reasons why this happened. I think there are so many "possible" suspect that our resources are spread to thin to correctly and effectively analyze information that could lead to arrests. I cant speak on who really is to blame and maybe it should be everyone(in the govt with clearance to info about terrorist). "Spit happens"(saw that on a baby's bib one time...freakin hilarious). This is not to be cavalier about the situation but instead of pointing the blame resolve the issue. Mida...terrorism will neva cease just like crime we can only try to curtail the violence. America has stepped in some feces and it cant wash it off...with the war on the borders, in Afgan and Iraq and having to politic with two obviously crazed tyrants in Mahmoud Imman???(dude from Iran lol) and Kim Il(dude from North Korea) it is no wonder why ppl slip through the cracks. Yeah slip ups like these could cause massive loss and devastation but u can just be vigilant and i think America wants to rid the world of terrorism..not gonna happen.

I am no pessimist i try to look at the positive in everything in life but this is reality; it was written! Should we just put our tails b/w our legs and hide?? NO! but i sense a viewpoint of eradicating an entity that is beyond our control. I hope the new security measures that Pres Obama has implemented will somehow affect the outcome in the future. Be sure when goin to the airport pack accordingly and be cognizant of the ever-changing rules and abide by them to be "safe". To all who travel like me dont be scared live ur life and praise Allah He will see u through this madness. This is the sun god signing off....*

new yr new beginning....

Happy 2010 ppls!!! Its time to put 2009 behind us and move forward in life. I am sure we have all made some new years resolutions(hopefully that u can keep). I just wanna say that though the past shapes the present it doesn't have to determine the future. 2009 was a crazy year for me to say the least a lot of changes occurred some good some not so but in reality it was suppose to be i believe that now. I know i cant speak for u but i welcome change in my life and i have learned from mistakes made. Yeah imma make some more but the point is to try....so for all my family and friends for the ladies and gentlemen that read my wonderful blogs(don't forget to check out www.verbalartistry.blogspot.com) and lastly for the ppls all over the world.... live ur life!!!!!

das just my baby daddy(mama)...

Hello all wanted to rap with yall for a sec. If yall dont know me (at least a little) then imma let u in my world for a min. I am a baby daddy and as much as that pains me to say it is what it is i cant help that. Sure i wish things were different but i realize everything happens for a reason whether u want it to or not. After a 3 yr relationship i am single again:( but i accept it now. Anyway dating has neva really been my thing i am somewhat of a novice when it comes to women(long story). Shyt i am just now understanding how yall work lol. So i have been on a couple of dates nuthing special some have kids though. I use to shun away from females with kids cuz of drama,attachment etc. I dont condone having children out of wedlock but it happens for whatever reason. I have a different opinion of it now cuz yeah i have a wonderful lil gurl and having me is a package deal no CODs lol. It is different for guys and gals with seeds(i.e. children i call them seeds cuz u cultivate them and they grow). Women with children usually have them in the household and that can be somewhat difficult when ur tryin to court a female. The woman has a lot on their plate cooking cleaning etc not to mention if the daddy wants to return. For the male the child(ren) arent usually in the household; its a part-time thing with full-time responsibilities. I know of a few whose children stay with them so it can occur. I am sure a lot of women want to be with a man without kids so they can possibly have some in the future. Yeah itz unfortunate many of the bruthas and sistahs out there have to deal with the stigma of having kids without being married. It is hard though but i now see the light. I dont like to judge ppl and if a woman has a kid then itz cool with me...as long as itz sensible. I am weary of dating a female with 5 kids from 5 different men das sayin somethin!!!!!!

Having children out of wedlock aint just for blacks either white ppl do it too itz just less ridiculed. To augment the situations many times bruthas are not taking care of the child(ren). It is sad but true. I only have one and i dont plan on having another until i am married. Regardless of my circumstance i am a good father learning to get better so before u judge and disregard a man or a woman with kid(s) consider the source and dont be myopic. Peace be unto u all...

Aid for AIDS

Yesterday was World AIDS Day. For those in the dark(turn the lights on) AIDS and HIV are two separate but compatible issues. HIV is a virus that weakens the immune system. There is currently no cure for HIV but there are cocktails of treatments that can subside symptoms. AIDS is when the body can no longer fight off infections that in a normal setting it would. HIV/AIDS have been prevalent for decades now. I remember first hearing about it during the early 80s. There are conspiracy theorist saying it is man-made(no I aint one of those conveying that). Regardless of origin it is a devastating disease that is relentless. I wont go into facts and stats about the disease u can read it on the CDC website(www.cdc.gov) but i do wanna get personal with u on the subject. First no i dont have HIV/AIDS(or any STDs for that matter) but i have witnessed ppl with the disease. At a previous job i had the delicate task of drawing blood from patients with HIV; scary to say the least cuz a mishap on my part could have led to infection. My real concern is for everyone who has the disease but specifically those in Afrika.

Afrika is the hotbed for many dangerous diseases from Ebola to HIV. HIV however is THE most debilitating disease on the continent. In South Afrika there are approximately 5.2 million(omg) ppl are infected with the disease and there are 1.4 million orphans due to HIV. The numbers are staggering. In a country already somewhat behind as far as technology, education, etc. it is crazy to see these statistics.

I have a dream not like King to see the "motherland" prosper as it should it is the birthplace of civilization!!! It is my duty to assist in the eradication of HIV/AIDS in Afrika esp. South Afrika. That is part of the reason why I am joining the Peace Corp. I dont know if I will actually go though but I will keep u posted. If I do go..watch for me! I wanna do great things here and abroad i have the "save the world" complex goin on and itz fine time for me to move my inertia(as my physics teacher used to say lol).

My challlenge to u is to become more aware and use the adage: "Each one teach one". Everyone doesnt get the opportunity to travel abroad yet there are numerous ways to help. There are still a lot of uneducated ppl here transferring the disease. If u are currently one who has HIV i will tell u I am here for u i support u in ur growth u can still have a life dont fret it ALLAH loves u none the less.
