One Mans Chicken is Another Mans Steak *EDIT*

God is gettin in my @ss yall.

Thursday. BL e-mailed me about my post.

AND.

Yesterday I RAN into The Graduate.[<-----Got deaded in this post]

I was like what the F-ck? IS TL ‘gon pop his CAMUS
pronouncing foune @ss up. [HE got deaded in THIS post].

Prolly not, because HE SHOULD be in bar study 🙂

On top of that, a new jawn, is creepin’ on the creep up come up.

BLOGS ARE WORDS TOO.
You see, BL never read my blog when we were together,
who KNEW that he read it now?

However, The e-mail he sent was, er, reasonable.

But there was one line that had me like this N*GGUH? HUNH?

Secondly, I sent you that email about the Hip Hop thing in an effort to perhaps initiate some contact again without it being a large production you know?

I immediatly thought, oh, so contacting a b*tch gotta be a large production? Can’t just send a email saying,

“what up m, its been a hot minute. Just checkin’ for you. Have no mal intent. We bound to run into each other, just trynna see how your summer poppin’ off.”

Easy.

As y’all know. I am one direct @ss black gurl.
In fact, in my dream last night, I was at a training at the SEC, in a small group session, and I was trying to get a word in, and this white dude kept interrupting me and the team leader let him do it. I turned into east oakland black gurl, and EVENTUALLY got my point across. Its was like, DAMMM, I gotta DO all ‘LIS, to participate!

But. I digress.

So. I began thinking about how he could perceive recconecting w/ me as being a large production.

And, hey, everyone is entitled to their perceptions. NO?

And I thought about another situation earlier this week.

ITS HARD TO ASK FOR HELP
See, I was in a pinch, and I needed some help so I called the pet detective.

Now ol boy, man, I been trying bag for a hot minute. He’s that DUDE. So he’s doing his own thing. Not really pressed.
But.
He allways takes my calls, even if its to say “lemme hit you back in 15”.
And. He knows I hate asking for help. So, in the midst of asking, he was like, hole’ up, lemme you send you this text which read,

“If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that”

Thats that trill. Like damn. Ol’ boy is a f*cking rydah.

So just thinking about the contrast between reconnection consitituting a”whole production” vs the “let me treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming”. The distinction is not lost on me.

Which brings me to The Graduate.

THE GRADUATE REAPPEARS
Yesterday Im minding my own business. In the on-line purchase generic viagra course, learners can learn well as the courses are generally user friendly. buy viagra without consultation Then, the blood circulation in the veins and arteries are increasing that makes the strength and stamina in the mind and makes the love making with confidence.

So I finish my McWhorter convo, kept it moving and The Grad comes back.

Was my furst time experiencing something like that in a hot minute. Dude. Did I mention that he had the nerve to be bumping
Tribe in the pod? God he fly!

All in all, I think I made it through that
interaction w/ my dignity intact.

Speaking of acting w/ dignity, lemme speak on your
boy SJ.

ONE MANS CHICKEN IS ANOTHER MANS STEAK
So. You ever be cool with somebody. Y’all talk on the phone?

There is a subcurrent of sexy tension there, but you don’t pay it no mind.

Then they say something to you that clearly indicates that they are interested, like,

“Well, I didn’t mean it like that, if it means that it would push you away from me”?

***Cues Bonita Appleum in my head ****.

I looked at the phone, like, I think this n*gga like me?
Here WE go.

Here is the rub. Old boy is heavy into jesus. I mean, my nick name
for ’em is Sweet Jesus, *wink nod wink*.

He KNOW im greasy. In fact one of my jokes is that if I walk
into a church, the altar would catch on fire.

However, several of my core principals, according to him,
are very Christian-like. I personally think they
are Buddhist, but tomatoTO-MAH-toe.

And I have allways had love for Jesus on the strength.
So we shall see how me and SJ turns out.

As for SJ, he’s a stand up dude, he love Black
people, which is one of my biggest pre-reqs
along w/ being a b-boy and/or b-girl friendly.

Thats a lot of personal business in one post.
But sh*t.
Yall been here for the last 6 months of M.dot’s trials and tribs,

I Analyze Where I Rest My Eye’s.

by

Toni Morrison told me whenever I write, think of my audience.

Well she ain’t never said it to me directly. But she said it.

I thought of these words when I read Bill Maxwell’s account of teaching at Stillman college, an HBCU. My muse, texas truth, sent this article to me.

And I have felt a few ways about it. You know. A Black teacher talking about
Black students, is bound to trigger some emotions. Smell me?

I think of this when I read John McWorter and friends.
More about John later.

I present to you The Good, The Bad and The Scandless.

The Good
He believes in HBCU’s.
He found the tenacity of the students inspiring.

The Bad
Some of the students look kinda trill.

I became apprehensive when I noticed about a dozen male students wearing baggy pants, oversized white T-shirts, expensive sneakers and assorted bling standing around shooting the breeze. At least two had “jailhouse tats” on their arms, crude tattoos suggesting that these young men had spent time behind bars. They carried no books or anything else to indicate they were on a college campus.

Before the 1964 Civil Rights Act, these schools were the ticket to the good life for blacks. But integration gradually siphoned off many of their best kids, and HBCUs now enroll just 12 percent of all black college students.

Students REFUSED to buy the books.

Unlike the majority of my students at Stillman, though, I was an avid reader. Even at age 13, I knew that I wanted be a writer. I was determined to learn my first day at Wiley, which I attended from 1963 to 1965

The Scandless.

The room was noisy, and two who had been in front of King Hall were horsing around. It leaves them dissatisfied in purchase generic viagra http://midwayfire.com/minutes/09-09-08.pdf bed. Mutual understanding is the key to cheapest cialis canada a successful physical therapy career. Cardiomyopathy – this is the disease of the muscles of penis and the blood circulating veins viagra samples of it also get a lot of blood for curing the system like fresh reproductive organs. If not sure about the medication having purchase cheap viagra nitrate or not, then go for a doctor’s help. I put my books on the table and raised an arm for silence. When only a few students paid attention I raised my arm again, and this time I yelled.

“All right, knock it off! Take your seats and be quiet!”

I could not believe that I had to yell for college students to behave in a classroom. This is not going to be a good experience, I thought, unfolding the roster and preparing to call the roll. When I could not pronounce the second name on the list, I knew for sure I was in big trouble. As I fumbled with the strange combinations of alphabets and apostrophes, the class roared.

Cats got jealous of his cake.

By the beginning of my second year, I would find myself alienated from most of the senior administrators and most of the longtime staff members who were responsible for the day-to-day operations of the institution.

My alienation, a colleague told me, was the result of a disease found at most HBCUs: professional jealousy. The college president hired me as the “scholar in residence” on a 10-month contract for a modest salary. Some professors resented the arrangement because they had been there for several years and were earning the same or less.

The Disheartening

At 20 minutes past the hour, a white colleague peeked in and saw me in the otherwise empty room.

“You must’ve had a serious assignment due?” he said.

We had a big laugh. But it was a painful laugh.

“It’s the Stillman way, ” he said. “A lot of these kids won’t attend class, and, when they do, they walk in late. They’re on CPT (Colored People’s Time).”

Although I laughed with my colleague, I was ashamed that a white person so easily joked about CPT.

“They don’t have intellectual curiosity, ” I said. “We weren’t like that at Wiley or Bethune-Cookman.”

Intellectual curiosity is cultivated from ages 0 months to 5 years.

By the time you get to the kids at 17,18, 19 years old, they are who they are by then.

It is one thing to be pretty. Its whole nother thang to catch a jawn cuz he think you smart. It is ONE OF THE most affirming feelings ever.

Viagra vs. Abortion

by


So let me get this straight.

Erectile dysfunction. OK. Viagra AND Cialis. OK.

Birth Control. OK. The Patch.OK.

But no abortion.

Thats a crazy @ssed double standard.

Last week, I posted a fews times about on Knocked Up. One of the things that Jonzeey and I noticed was how clumsily Apatow treated abortion.

The NY times noticed also.

Though conservatives regularly accuse Hollywood of being overly liberal on social issues, abortion rarely comes up in film. Real-life women struggling with unwanted pregnancies might consider an abortion, have intense discussions with partners and friends about it and, in most cases, go through with it. Before the purchase, you will think- why you are going to have premature symptoms viagra sildenafil canada that can be discovered if one is heedful. Plus your therapist will likely be important in appropriate performing of cialis soft unica-web.com the male sex-related drive. It is said to be a sexual disorder which is erectile dysfunction and not any other problem. cheap viagra sales This is the only reason best price tadalafil why millions of males with erectile problem moved towards this mode of treatment that of surgery. But historically and to this day in television and film ? historians, writers and those in the movie industry say ? a character in such straits usually conveniently miscarries or decides to keep the baby.

?The industry as a whole is getting to be more public-friendly,? said Brian Dyak, president and chief executive of the Entertainment Industries Council, an organization formed by leaders in the industry to try to ensure the accurate portrayal of health and social issues on screen. ?That?s driven by the cost of the movies and the international release. Abortion is not big box office material.?

But an executive with a Hollywood film production company who spoke on condition of anonymity, unauthorized to speak for the company, noted that the film industry has other tough questions to worry about aside from commercial considerations.

?At a time when women?s reproductive freedom is under attack in the courts, why wouldn?t it come up as part of the conversation?? the executive said. ?Are you making a statement by assiduously avoiding the discussion??

Some on the anti-abortion side seem to think so. Many conservative bloggers have claimed ?Knocked Up? as an anti-choice movie, in part because the movie never presents abortion as a serious option.

In other controversial News. Lets go see this play, titled, ” Nigga, Wetback,Chink“ I kid you not.


 “So why create a play guaranteed to offend all along the racial spectrum? ?It?s not the words that are painful, it?s the racism behind them,? said Mr. Axibal, a 25-year-old of Philippine origin,……….”

What White Teachers Don’t Understand About Black Students

by


If Black students feel that you are disrespecting them.

They will not learn from you.

Disrespect, re: Black Teens. Its a mighty amorphous thing.

I was reminded of this when reading a Times article about Ruby Payne.

Payne believes that teachers can?t help their poor students unless they first understand them, and that means understanding the hidden rules of poverty. The second step, Payne says, is to teach poor students explicitly about the hidden rules of the middle class. She emphasizes that the goal should not be to change students? behavior outside of school: you don?t teach your students never to fight if fighting is an important survival skill in the housing project where they live. But you do tell them that in order to succeed at school or later on in a white-collar job, they need to master certain skills: how to speak in ?formal register,? how to restrain themselves from physical retaliation, how to keep a schedule, how to exist in what Payne calls the ?abstract world of paper.?


Your class, Payne says, determines everything: your eating habits, your speech patterns, your family relations. It is possible to move out of the class you were born into, either up or down, she says, but the transition almost always means a great disruption to your sense of self. And you can ascend the class ladder only if you are willing to sacrifice many of your relationships and most of your values ? and only if you first devote yourself to careful study of the hidden rules of the class you hope to enter.

=========
=========

She has her critics tho.

Payne?s critics seem less aggrieved by what she includes in her analysis than by what they say she has left out: an acknowledgment that the American economy and American schools systematically discriminate against poor people.
In this way, Payne finds herself in the middle of one of the central debates about poverty today. Also, amino acids like L-Arginine, L-Glutamine, L-Glycine, L-Tyrosine can help increase sperm count. 5 There are also generic viagra sample devensec.com many herbs that can help increase sperm count (astragalus, Siberian and Korean Red Ginseng, and Maca) Are you having problems with the married life and conjugal life. Gigs don’t always mean long-haired men waving guitars about and jumping all over the http://www.devensec.com/rules-regs/decregs109.html purchase cialis stage. It’s now easier than ever to find a genuine, trustworthy cheap levitra web site online to buy prescription medications. He was quoted as saying, “Most people with erectile problems do not have hormone problems, but often have levitra on line blockage in their penis arteries.” They also state that very low levels of testosterone can cause a sudden and serious decrease in blood pressure. On one side are those, like Payne, who believe that poor people share certain habits and behaviors that help keep them in poverty. Recognizing and changing those behaviors, Payne and those who share her views believe, will help poor people to succeed. On the other side are those like Payne?s critics, who think that the game is so thoroughly fixed that most poor people can?t succeed no matter what they do. To them, locating any of the causes of persistent poverty among poor people themselves is, in effect, blaming the victim.

This sh-t hit me square in my soul.
