Live by the gun, die by the gun!
The videos below show the desperate times we are living in where young males parade their assault weapons around and stories of murder as a badge of honor.
The unfortunate reality is the effect that this type of behavior has on it’s community members. In the words of Dapp [...]

I can’t call it people. Everywhere we turn we are confronted with race issues. It’s really sad that racism plays such an integral role in our lives but I guess when you live in a country founded upon racist principles this was bound to happen. Walmart shows good judgment I think by removing this comic [...]

African Dictatorships and Double-Standards
Stephen Zunes
This article originally appeared in Foreign Policy In Focus
“U.S. credibility as a defender of human rights and free elections is seriously compromised.”
The Bush administration has justifiably criticized the Zimbabwean regime of liberator-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe. It [...]

So a man made a video about how excited he is when police officers in Philly are killed. He even brandishes a gun and instructs on how one should shoot when shooting an officer.
Now this idiot is locked up but people are wondering if his constitutional rights are being violated. What do you think?
PHILADELPHIA – [...]

Misunderstood: A Hustler’s Tale
Driven by dreams of material things
Cant blame em; on TV that’s all he seen
Takes more than a reckless spirit
To build a crack empire
Learn the ways of the street fast
Or your life will soon expire
Fiends is clickin’ to what they got on 43rd
So you set up shop next to the woods on 45th
House [...]

People have it confused; if you and your man do a crime and you get caught and he doesn’t and you tell. THAT’S SNITCHING! You chose that lifestyle, you are only telling because you got caught. However if a little girl gets shot in the street and you say you’re not going to “snitch”, a. [...]

I use this song because Sean Bell and I were both in junior high school when this song came out. We both watched this video on BET’s Rap City! Now he’s gone and I’m here and no justice has been served in his honor (not violence) but Justice. Who are the real SHOOK ONES?

R.I.P JOSHUA SIMMS
Words can’t express a mother’s pain when her child is lost. Lost to the senseless violence and killings that are frequent amongst young black men today in America. Today I asked myself, why, and if not why how. How can we help, how can I help, is it worth the energy, will people [...]

What are we teaching our children?
Below are two separate youtube videos showcasing how much we have failed our children of all races. We need to begin a dialogue about how to reclaim our youth and stop the senseless violence that goes on throughout this nation. Ironically, its hard to teach children that violence is not [...]
