It's Been a Long Time....

With all of the devastation in Haiti, I feel as though it is my duty as a young writer to use my talents to uplift at this time. I really don't know what to say, my heart is in pain and my pockets are giving. What else can I do? I pray for Haiti and the world and have stopped asking God why he does these things. I trust and believe that these situations are meant to bring out the best, and sadly the worst in all of us. True character is built and reviled in times of despair.

I want to commend many like Matt Sunday, Star McRae, and Nate Erickson who started irelief.info to give the public more information on how they could help. I also wanna give my love to a good man who's love for his country of Haiti knows no boundaries, Wyclef Jean. Many of you know I am a representer of th Wyclef Warriors, which is a movement of music and social change long before the earthquake. I pray for him and all of the people who flew to Haiti. God, give them strength as there hand sig through miles of broken homes and lives, and please give them a sweeter scent than the smell of decaying bodies. Please wrap your arms of protection around the Nation and its people.

To those who have holes in thier hearts here's a video for you (Wus good Keith Olbermann!)....

Steve Harvey Can Teach us Something....

As a sat and watched this video with Donnie McClurkin interviewing Steve Harvey I almost cried. My mother took me to church as a child but she always told me to "Know God for yourself, not how the preacher and people tell you, but for yourself." When she saw people professing to be so holy or morally perfect, chastise someone for singing secular music or another profession that they didnt approve of she would ask "Do you work for a Christan company?" Meaning all of those critizing the "foul mouthed Emcee" coming into church, look at your place of employment is that company Christian based?

When I watch Steve Harvey break down, I understand the pain. My prayer is that the church would truly learn to love people for who they are. They should see that judging people for what they do is the reason so many people refuse to go to church anymore. God is the only and FINAL judgment.



Thanks to The Rundown for the clip.

WHAT IS WRONG MY PEOPLE? Vol. 1

My mom sends me this video that her co-woker showed her last week. I can't believe what I saw when i open it up. A little girl no more than 5 swearing like she was a 44 year old prostitute. The way she says the words (that I'm sure she can't even spell) makes you think that she has been cussing all of her short life. Young brothers and sisters when you tell your kid to "shut the fuck up" or "you gettin on my goddamn nerves dumbass" this is what happens.

This girls future is messed up, how can she be taught in school? This ain't cute now and it's not gonna be cute when she turns 18 and gets her ass slapped by a man or stabbed. I don't know WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY PEOPLE!

The Moon is Hurt

I had a dream last night which consisted of Michael Jackson, a spree for kids at a toy store, a weeding reception but none of those meant anything. I dreamt that the sky was changing colors and as I stood in a group of people in the middle of San Francisco I saw the moon. The moon had broken into two uneven pieces. The smaller piece was crumbling into even smaller pieces and floating into space.

People weren't panicking but they were angry. Angry at the powers that be, angry at NASA. In the crowd I heard "They did it", "Yep, they killed us all", "What the hell would make them bomb the moon?" A lady from my church and my mother appeared and began to tell people about the goodness of the Lord and the promise of Heaven. I couldn't believe it but i kept saying "I knew it" then I got a warm feeling that everything was going to be alright.

The sky never stopped changing colors and I knew the the end of the world was eminent. I awoke, wondering why would NASA bomb the moon. It's a known fact that the moon has saved the earth from devastating asteroids. Why do we bite the hand that feeds us, hurt the ones who love us the most? I pray that this was just a dream.

Keep it 100: "Let's Have a Tea Party!"

When I first looked at these tea parties making there rounds around the US my heart sunk. People calling Obama a Nazi, people enraged to the the point they can no longer control themselves. This is the flame to a very racist Americas tick, or is it?
One of the main reasons why I am angry is that these kinds of rallies against George W. Bush were stopped and people were arrested. Or was it simply not enough people speaking out in public about bush. How big of a roll is the media playing to perpetuate lies on the health care reform? Where was all the public outcry when the Patriot act took away our privacy, or when the war in Iraq began to cost trillions. I'm angry for not starting a national cookout to discuss how FEMA fucked over the people in New Orleans. People are sick and it all boils down to racism.

This is the beginning of a battle between race and class that can only further damaged an already delicate nation. 2 years ago my sociology teach said we would have a black or female president to be used as a scapegoat. He was right. People are so easy to fall for the bait. We need to wake up and talk to each other, all people. How can you be so blind, how come it took you all so long to speak up. Did you forget the $4 trillion deficit Bush left Obama to fix? Help me understand what a president who has been in office is supposed to do, when every decision he makes faces extreme opposition? There has never been a lack of disrespect shown to a president and his judgment. Do you really want him to flex his power? All that he has to do is say the right things to the right people and the tea parties would be shut down.

As a young American in the work force, the plan for HealthCare sounds pleasing. I work hard everyday and pay taxes but when i go to the hospital I get a $5,000 bill, but someone who has never payed a dime to this country can get free health care. Excuse me but is this Bizzaro world? What part of the game is that. Do you think this is fair? Why do I have to feel like I'm wrong for being a natural born citizen?

Look, everyone has their opinion and i believe in freedom of speech but learn the facts before you lie to people with the hate of your heart. My hope is that we will teach one another respect and tolorence (though i hate this use of the word.)

This is K7 and You know I can't help but to "Keep it 100"
