Straight Outta Compton

When you say the word music the last thing people think is the subliminal messages, hardships, and feelings the artist has put into their work.  “Our art is a reflection of our reality” a quote given by Ice Cube in the movie Straight Outta Compton is a perfect representation of these hardships and feelings one goes through to make a certain kind of music.  I feel that by this quote Ice Cube meant that people hear the music they make and think of angry black men trying to fight the system.  Which is not what N.W.A intended their music was meant to be an eye-opener, a chance for others who haven’t lived in Compton to see just how tough times were.  Every day police brutalized the minorities, and used their prejudice misconceptions to excuse their actions.  Whites automatically assume that African Americans are in the wrong in the event of a crime and even go as far to say that police brutalization of minorities is acceptable in certain crimes.  “Nigga’s With Attitude” made it their business to feed off of the wrong-doings of the majority and turn that raw power into an effort to change the world they lived in.  Ideas are bulletproof; you can’t touch it or kill it.  Ideas are like fire, with enough oxygen you’ve got a full scale change.

 “…A reflection of our reality”, N.W.A. rapped about change, about standing up against oppressors no matter the cost.  This was their reality, a time when the minorities of Compton could live without being discriminated against, and brutalized for their color.  People often saw this attempted movement as defiance to law, which isn’t exactly the case.  N.W.A.’s song “F*** the Police” led most minorities to rioting which wasn’t what was actually intended, the group intended on making people see they were being oppressed and wanted people to stand up against this peacefully.  Why exactly are blacks always the ones who are judged for standing up for what they believe, because they are rioting or because they are black?  I believe that if whites were oppressed and began rioting no one would bat an eyelash because they are white.  Every white has a prejudice towards blacks no matter how minute and therefore see a problem with blacks trying to get equality.

 N.W.A. wanted to end this racial block, and bring people together for a common cause.  Sadly their message was confused by the common people who understood the message to condone violence.  Just for clarification I am in no way, shape, or form, defending African Americans by claiming they were in the right by rioting to express their concern with minority discrimination.  I believe that discrimination of a minority is based off of previous actions and behaviors that are direct representations of a person’s personality and morality.  There are much simpler and more productive ways to protest police brutality than blowing up your neighborhood.  Often-times peaceful protests go much further than violent ones, the message sent by a calm and collected attitude makes a greater impression.  In my opinion this is no different than the Muslim extremists blowing everything up in an attempt to appease their God.  It is ignorant, childish, and shouldn’t be tolerated by any race.

 African Americans claim to be the most oppressed race and the most discriminated against race, which is absolutely ridiculous.  Certain places require certain actions to balance the negative attitudes and actions of a minority.  I am no way condoning police brutality, but if someone is breaking the law, regardless of color they need to be punished.  Usually the reputation given is a reputation earned, people don’t just develop an idea that someone is bad, there are often facts that they have witnessed or heard that influence their judgement.  It is completely acceptable to judge a criminal because they have earned the reputation of being a lawless individual; however it is unacceptable to judge a black individual in a drug neighborhood.  For whatever reason African Americans expect to receive no judgement for the lifestyle they live or the reputation they have earned. 

African Americans have made whites their scapegoat for years, acting as if the world owes them something for unfair treatment.  Yes, It was bad, no it wasn’t fair, and no we aren’t going to give you caviar and a silver spoon.  Suck it up, life is cruel, mean, and nasty, sometimes things happen in this world that we don’t agree with; sometimes an entire race suffers due to the ignorance of another.  The Irish and Asians were taken to American to work on the railroad, treated absolutely terrible, and given a poor wage.  Rather than getting mad and protesting for equality they worked even harder and through their actions made a fair environment for themselves.  African Americans are the exact opposite, they feel they should be able to do the least and receive the most.

Now that both sides have been analyzed I feel that despite the police brutality the African Americans were in the wrong.  Rioting, drugs, race wars, these things have earned them a reputation with no respect and therefore you reap what you sow.  “Our Art is a Reflection of our Reality” is a conflicted way of saying that through our songs you can feel the sadness.  You can hear the sorrow in our voice, due to the reality we have earned.  Through our actions a dilemma has been reached and has developed into a vicious cycle of hatred and unfairness.  The blacks will always hate the whites because of the constant judgement they have earned through poor choices.  Gunnar Myrdal was correct in believing that racism is a cycle and it will always exist, because whites will always judge, and blacks will always hate the judgement.    African Americans hope to one day not be discriminated against because of their actions, but until then “F*** The Police” is the loudest voice they possess to express their hatred of unfairness.

How Poverty Impacts Students

In a recent test it has been scientifically proven that low test scored directly relate to a child's financial stability.  I for one, do not buy into this theory.  A child who truly wants to learn and succeed will stop at nothing to accomplish what they wish.  Will it be difficult to succeed under inadequate conditions?  Of course it will.  Those who are saying poverty is the reason they have bad grades is like blaming a Twinkie for making you fat.  It is a cop-out, it is an excuse to try as little as you can and be pitied.  The God's honest truth of the matter is life is a hard, evil place and only the strong will survive.  Everyone who is hindered by circumstance will get absolutely no where in life.  My circumstances were never ideal, but here I am, college bound with A's and B's.  The world we live in has made it acceptable to blame whoever or whatever is standing in your way of success when actually there is no one to blame but yourself for laziness and lack of effort.  Whatever you want in this world you must earn with blood, sweat and tears, not given to you for being pitied.

The White Ghettos (Appalachian Hillbillies)

The highest wage of a coal miner ranges anywhere from 25-75 dollars an hour.  Coal mining jobs aren’t just limited to “Grunts” some are Foreman- making around 45-50/hour, Electricians- making around 30-37/hour, Operators- Making anywhere from 20-35/hour.  The people range anywhere from Respectable, hard workers to sunken faced crack heads.  The drug users were often the ones who did crimes like: theft, extortion, Food Stamp fraud, etc.  The Author refers to the Appalachians as a “Big White Ghetto” because that is exactly what it is, the Slums of American with drug use, and crime, committed by hillbilly white people.  I have absolutely no clue where the Pepsi plays any part in this unless it was intended to be a slang term for Black Tar Heroin.  Assuming it is the drink, people where I am from drink more Beer, Mtn. Dew, and Dr. Pepper.  Most of the cops in Nicholas County were crooked, and paid off by drug dealers to turn a blind eye towards their illegal lifestyle.  Nearly every store you stop at there is a brand new Cadillac Escalade parked in a handicapped space, and the owner of this vehicle inside buying food with food stamps.  These individuals are completely healthy, but draw welfare and disability because they are lazy.  This article was a surprisingly accurate description of the Appalachian Hillbillies.

http://thelibertarianrepublic.com/heres-why-bernie-sanders-is-wrong-about-everything/

Anyone who votes for Bernie Sanders is absolutely clueless as to what exactly he stands for.  Sanders is a firm believer in Socialism, and for those of you who are unaware it means free college, and a fixed income rate for everyone.  I know right now you are thinking this is brilliant, but here is why it isn't.  College degrees are how Americans get a special skill leading to a job with excellent pay; the college attendee will pay large sums of money and countless hours to acquire his desired degree.  What will happen when it is free?  Everyone will get a college degree, making the entire college degree system useless, it will be nothing more than a piece of paper paid for by your hard earned dollars.  Once everyone has a degree the only way you will be able to make any money at all is to join a trade school and learn a skill such as welding, or mechanic work.  Due to the new socialist government even with this job you will only be middle class and whatever extra exists in your paycheck the government will take to distribute to those who did not make as much as you.
Sales tax increases, higher income tax, and fixed income are the only thing that will happen if Bernie is elected president.  He is a moron, he is not what the country needs as a leader.  Socialism is very similar to communism in a sense that the government is controlling how much you can make and dispersing it as they see fit.  If you are unaware how that worked out for Russia, and Germany you should not be allowed in the voting booth.  Unfortunately the same individuals who are voting for Sanders are related to those who spit on Vietnam heroes upon arrival on U.S. soil.  The children of these Vietnam activists grew up to be just like they're parents, liberal, pot smoking, hippies.  I am not sure if Americans are aware of this but, Love is not the answer; It is blood, sweat, and determination.  Democracy to the fullest extent, Extremist conservative, republican leaders, who will stop at nothing to ensure every American is able to enjoy our constitutional rights.  Barrack Obama was not the answer, neither is Bernie Sanders.  Wake up America.

Freddie vs. Society

Society and Freddie

 

                Freddie Gray was an African American male whom grew up in less than desirable conditions in Baltimore.  Is it possible that society is failing individuals?  The answer is yes, society fails people every day, and no one bats an eyelash.  However as soon as an African American suffers the same as the whites it is police brutality, or unfair government actions.  Sadly this is the reality of America, people who don’t succeed, suffer.  The Irish immigrants were despised when they migrated to America, but never once did they declare an unfair disadvantage; they already knew exactly what it was.  Instead of whining and draining the system dry them stood up, put on their big boy panties and contributed to the growing economy.  Freddie Gray was a known drug dealer in known drug distribution territory while in possession of a knife.  The police had probable cause to arrest Gray, who I don’t imagine was handcuffed peacefully; the spinal injuries could have been from a number of things.  It was claimed that in Gray’s blood results there were seven times the safe levels of lead in his blood which is known to cause birth defects, spinal instability, heart complications, and many more life threatening illnesses.  Perhaps Gray’s body had reached its’ limit and the takedown from the authorities was enough to destroy his spinal cord the deterioration of spinal fluid is another side effect of being exposed to high levels of lead.  Now other blacks are rioting saying Gray was wrongly accused and police were abusing their power.  How exactly does that work?  An individual sells drugs, possesses a knife, and flees from the police and is forcefully hand cuffed and thrown into the cruiser.  Foul play isn’t the case in my opinion it is African Americans looking for a hand out, they want to be given the world on a silver platter because due to slavery and unfair treatment they belief they are owed something.  I am strongly against police brutality as long as that is the correct term and action.  Fleeing the authorities, selling drugs, and other punishable acts police brutality is then simply called police doing their job.  Their job is to arrest wrong-doers, and if you are doing wrong they have every right to use necessary force.

Deviance at its Finest-

Teacher Accused of Having 3 Children in Her Trunk Says She Was Keeping Them 'Safe'

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/teacher-accused-of-having-3-children-in-her-trunk-says-she-was-keeping-them-safe/ar-BBoqSkK

 

                Adriana James, a 33 year old woman was accused of transporting nine children, three of which in her trunk to “keep them safe”.  Adriana hosted a kind of child get-together at her home, as a sign of good nature.  She never did anything out of the way or made any kind of an inappropriate advance; however felt the need to transport children whom she was not the parent to.

                Outside of a Speedway gas station a witness says to have seen James with children in the car and 3 coming out of the trunk.  Not only was there a witness but several security footages showing exactly what happened.

                James was arrested on three-counts of reckless endangerment which in my opinion isn’t enough.  When Adriana James was arrested a parent was called named Regina Rogers whom upon arrival said to have seen the children incredibly shaken up and scared.

                What kind of a sick individual takes children on a joy ride, three in the trunk, and the parents have no clue?  Why are people like this allowed to be around children?  Perhaps there was a good reason, maybe there actually was a danger to the children.  I personally believe the only danger to the children was Adriana.  Without more evidence supporting the claims of Adriana James, I am forced to assume she was not mentally stable enough to be around children.

Personal Beliefs on White Superiority-

Do whites honestly have a superiority issue?  Well, of course they do and this is going to come off as one sided and even racially biased, but they should.  Whites don’t seek other countries citizenship, they don’t illegally go oversees or across borders, because they are content in being white.  Whites shouldn’t necessarily have superiority issues but “this is my country syndrome” why in God’s green Earth should whites bend over backwards to accommodate immigrants and illegals?  This is not Subway, you can’t have it your way.  America was founded on one thing and one thing only, white beliefs, granted that may have been Irish, German, Nordic and Spain’s beliefs but the beliefs joined together into something everyone can agree on.  Sadly, now whites are the minority in a country they built.  Immigrants come from Mexico, China and god knows where else and don’t even know how to speak English!  America is a democracy for “the people” not for whoever manages to find their way into the U.S.

                So yes, there is a “Superiority” issue.  Next topic.  Who are mass shootings most likely to be?  Well whoever is the angriest at the world, of course?  Every day whites are accused of racial profiling and bigotry, well I am curious as to what race said whites were the most mentally unstable and the most likely to shoot a bunch of kids.  The tables have turned.  Whites are no longer the judger, they are the judged.  The connection between this and all the accommodations listed above is that Americans, no the real Americans the ones who didn’t sneak into the U.S. or run away from a war ridden country, are bending over backwards and are taking a kick in the face every day because they are too scared to stand up and send them back.  Why is it America’s responsibility to take care of each country’s rejects?  Give them food, shelter, and whatever else they want.  This is no longer the land of opportunity it is they land of poverty and diversity, we are seen as weak and spineless by every other country because we practically just gave the country to whomever asked the nicest. 

                Last topic, What is the influence of the NRA?  Uhm….None?  Honestly what has the NRA done?  Sit in the corner with their stockpile of guns and ammo and watch patiently.  Wow, didn’t they help a lot?  Whites are the minority, Whites are mad, and lonely, and scared.  We are literally on the verge of extinction because of every race dabbling in the other, very few people are pure white.  I know what you’re thinking, “Why does this matter what is wrong with racial mixing?”  My response to this is nothing, it is the principle of it, the fact that you no longer have to have fought in the Korean war to have a ½ White ½ Asian child, you just look in your backyard for your neighbor Miss Wuu who couldn’t understand if you wanted to have kids or make her rice because she only speaks Chinese.  It is no wonder why whites are going crazy and shooting everyone.  What will happen in the future when whites are the minority?  Well my friend, we are in the future, and we are the minority.  Granted, it will get worse, but more than likely we will be nonexistent.  Politically, we will be a completely non-violent, all accepting, society who would rather share their individual beliefs than beat the tar out of those who disagree.  Gays will be allowed to kiss and touch each other in public, blacks will be allowed to rape all the white girls they want and Asians will be allowed to eat all the fried rice they please.  Yes, this is coming off as stereotypical and mildly racist but it is the God’s honest truth.  If you are in an ally way and see a figure would you like to assume it is a black guy?  Probably not because of all the stereotype surrounding that race.  What I am trying to say is, I am white and I am fed up of being the minority in our own country.  There are rules, and regulations for us, the whites have to follow them such as you must pay taxes and have a valid driver’s license and pay insurance name one Mexican you know or have heard of that is legal.  Exactly.  You don’t, because they fly under the radar so they don’t get deported chances are you have seen hundreds of Mexicans in your life but personally know none.  This isn’t a matter of race, it is a matter of corruption, there a millions of white people who mimic the behavior of blacks.  Flat bill hats, baggy pants, and Air Jordans, as far as I’m concerned we should get rid of them too.  Conformity is not an option.  This is American, not wonderland.  You follow our rules, or you get out; whites are done conforming to the beliefs of Muslims and Mexicans who don’t even belong here. 

                Welcome to America, now speak English.
