The " American Dream" is a fallacy.

People may ask why I titled my post the American dream is a fallacy. They may think I am crazy and ungrateful to live in a country where everyone has a chance to succeed. Well,the truth is everything that you have ever heard about the good ole U.S.A is either a lie or a stretch of the truth. Therefore, my title to this post makes a lot of sense.You do have a chance to succeed in this country, if you come from a rich family or if you are an immigrant that was granted special funding and public assistance that the average American can not get. However , those immigrants who get the special assistance still come to this country off of false premises. If they knew that the free market really isn't as free as it sounds I am pretty sure they would not have left their home countries'. I am sure if they were aware of what they were getting themselves into they would have remained home. Who wants to leave their family,friends, and current life to undertake a new journey in an unknown country to only be oppressed further and discriminated against? Ive' noticed that a lot of immigrants come here and try their hardest to kiss, "Whitey's" ass when "Whitey" still see them as a slave or a bottom feeding immigrant. Why disown your own culture to be accepted in a culture that will never accept you?

There has been much debate on whether or not we should open our borders and start legalizing illegal aliens. Barrack Obama spoke on this issue briefly during his speech in New Orleans. He tiptoed around the topic, but he did state that if we were going to legalize illegal immigrants then we must do it in a way that they could compete and work in our current system. If this were to happen a lot of poor people would be in trouble. The corporations would then have to pay everyone equally and illegal immigrants being paid under the table would disappear. I take this issue very seriously, because if our government currently doesn't care about poor people needs, then what is going to happen if illegal immigrants are awarded citizenship? Will individuals who are currently in need wake up and try to do something with their lives, or will illegal immigrants take their public assistance. Will the Americans on welfare be kicked to the streets like so called "Third world countries'? Will illegals come and capitalize off of our wealth or am I looking too deep into this problem? These questions I ask are hypothetical questions, but they are definitely something we should think about. With more and more immigrants chasing the so called American Dream more Americans will suffer, and our tax dollars will go towards making immigrants illegal migration easier. Our schools go out of their way to make sure immigrant students learn our language and succeed, but when it comes to American children they are left behind.These illegal aliens then become working class slaves and corporations continue to piggy back off of all of our backs. Capitalism is a joke............

The current state of Young Blacks in America

Nowadays a lot of black teens and adults are being influenced by what they see on television.Therefore, they tend to follow trends and not use critical thinking skills.I admire people like Michael Jackson because he was a individual thinker.He had his own style and way of life and was comfortable enough to not change himself in order to fit in.The average person may say that Michael Jackson changed his appearance because he was not happy with the way he looked but, I can easily refute that. Mike was so creative and one of the reasons why he had several surgery's was because he did not want to look like the average Joe. With the continuing negative image being of blaks being portrayed on television a lot of blacks are allowing themselves to fall victims to the same stereotypes that are being broadcast-ed on national television every day.A lot of young blacks tend to look down upon education and look to others forms of employment to get ahead, they look to sports, entertainment ,labor work, or the streets instead of pursuing a education.In contrast, I know that school is not for everyone but if we continue to engage in these activities we will never close the economical gap that we currently face.It is up to the youth to step it up and make something out of their lives before we continue to fall further behind.Instead of putting rims and stereos in vehicles why not put a book in your hands and invest knowledge into your brain.

Nation's pupils find few black men as teachers

I Stumbled upon a interesting article in today's newspaper.The article presented a growing problem in our school system that needs to be addressed.If educators want to reduce minority achievement gaps and drop out rates, then they must employ more black male teachers.American teachers are 87 percent white and 77 percent female, despite minority student populations of 44 percent.It is of importance that more black teachers are hired because black drop out rates continue to skyrocket, and black students lack teachers they can relate to and look upon as a role mode.With so many black children with out male figures in their lives, a strong black teacher could help mold a young and confused teen into a strong educated black man.We need more minority men at the head of class rooms and if we do not address this issue the drop out rates and achievement gaps will continue to rise.

911 comission act

The battle for United 93 informed me of the events that led up to the crashing of United Flight number 93 in Shanksville Pennsylvania.My interpretation of this narrative is vastly different from how others may interprete it.I believe that misscommunication and lack of leadership led to the deaths of innocent human beings.As stated in The 911 Comission Act, no one at TheFAA or the airlines that day has ever dealt with multiple hijackings, and that was clearly exhibited on September 11, 2001.It didn't occur to The FAA leadership to alert other aircrafts in the air that they too were at risk.In an attempt to defend themselves, the FAA stated in The 911 commission act ," It was the air carriers responsibility to notify their planes of security problems".The Airliner's defense was that they received reports that were conflicted and lacking in vital information.Both sides were truly unprepared for the events that occurred on September 11 2001, thus i conclude, that although we can't change the lack of organization and leadership that had transpired;however, we can learn from the mistakes and make sure a tragedy to this extent will never happen again.

The thirty seven Passengers on Flight 93 took it upon themselves to show leadership that was lacking from The FAA and Airliners by making sure the hijackers didn't succeed in their hateful mission.These Individuals were true heroes whose lives were lost due to hatred of foreign entities, and lack of communication and preparation for such an event.It is truly sad that it took such an atrocity for the nation to get it together when it comes to securing the airwaves.We as Americans tend to have the belief that such events can never happen on our homeland, but September 11th, proved that when you don't take foreign threats serious, and aren't prepared for such an event anything can happen.

I can only imagine being on the other end of the phone talking to one of my loved ones for the last time.I would ask myself ,ow and why did this happen, and what could of been done to prevent it?I can only imagine being on the flight that day and witnessing the lack of compassion for others lives and the hatred beforehand.The truth is we live in an inherently evil world and without proper preventive techniques, terrorist will be able to attack our country freely.

Woman's Human Rights In Perspective

My good friend J writer 4, whos blogspot link I will leave for you to view,made a great video on Human Rights and Rape as Genocide.I decided to conduct my own research on the topic, and I was amazed at the lack of legal protections of Woman's Human rights.Woman's humans rights recieved scant attention before the 1990s, and to bring awareness to this issue The Woman's Rights Project of Human Rights Watch and The Woman's Rights Advocacy Program of the International Human Rights Law group, were established to bring forth activisim for Womans Rights.Why were womans rights given little attention in the mass society?Institutional and structional factors, such as lack of representation in national governments and international governments led to the lack of insight of Woman's Human Rights.What are Woman's Rights?Certain Individuals like to believe that Woman's Rights shouldn't be labeled as Woman's Rights but strictly Human Rights.Woman's Rights are Human Rights, but when it comes to Forced pregnancy and sexual violence in cultures where its socially accepted, Womans rights are violated.In Islamic countrys death by stoning of woman for adcriultery is a normal pratice.Not much is said and thought about it.Rape as a war crime is a violation of Human rights, and when it comes to African woman being raped in War times not much is said.In 1992 during the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegivina. The U.N. established a tribunal to prosecute whom ever commited these horrid acts.If the U. N. wants to prosecute individuals for Human Rights violations, why dont they prosecute everyone and not turn there heads on African Woman.There human arent they?
Link to Jwriter4's 30 minute video on Femicide enjoy.

Someone Please Give Kanye West a Bottle of Sit Yo ass Down

Kanye West is a corny bitch made attention seeking individual.Kanye West has been known as a crybaby who can't shut his mouth,and his actions at The Vmas clearly showcased his addiction and need for attention.He trys to come of as a outspoken person, but he fails miserably.Theres nothing wrong with sitting down sometimes.You always dont have to be the center of attention all the time,its very corny, especially for a man.Never the less, I hope Kanye gets his act together and sits his ass down next time, no one respects a bully.
