Every since I was a Oakland Nerd, I been Poppin my colla’.

One exam out the way blog family, few more to go. I finally broke down and asked Bronx Logic for what I needed, support. Dinner cooked. To be told that I was gonna make it. So instead of complaining to everyone else about not getting support, I asked for it (I see you g. gotty).

The best part was an inspirational mix with:
1. The eye of the tiger
2. Can I have it Like that.
3. Meth vs. Chef
4. Can it be (all so simple)
5. Believe in Yourself (from THE WIZ)
Needless to say a beech was choked up.


The artwork is by Portia Wells. I love this serious. It is so subversive.

Dear Jay Dilla.

I just received your latest CD as a gift. It is beautiful. I am glad it came into my life. I really needed it this past weekend. The audio textures and layers are magnificent.
I love hearing the elements of other songs on the instrumentals.
We miss, appreciate and love the soulfullness in your music. In fact I think that is why so many folks lament the loss of the Golden Age of Hip Hop.
We rock with the murder, murder, murder, kill, f*ck die, 9 bullets type of music, but we want the soul too.
The music on this cd represents an effort for you to connect the essence of Black american music, elements of cuban jazz, and Fela’s afro punk in 47 audio minutes.
Some people/artist go their entire lifetimes and never accomplish what you managed to produce in one cd.
We salute you.

Brazilain sex. Read about a Brazilian Call Girls tell of sex and its various perceptions here.

I find this interesting.

I know of several men in NYC who like to “go to brazil” with their men friends for vacation.

I have allways suspected its is because of beautiful women for sale and the perceived Brazilian loose mores towards sex.

Carnival and the general sensuality that seems to permeate the atmosphere can give the impression that Brazil is unusually permissive and liberated, especially compared with other predominantly Roman Catholic nations. But experts say the real situation is far more complicated, which explains both Bruna’s emergence and the strong reactions she has provoked.

“Brazil is a country of contradictions, as much in relation to sexuality as anything else,” said Richard Parker, a Columbia University anthropologist who is the author of “Bodies, Pleasures and Passions: Sexual Culture in Contemporary Brazil,” and has taught and worked here. “There is a certain spirit of transgression in daily life, but there is also a lot of moralism.”

U.S. prepares for ‘A Day Without an Immigrant’

Organizers plan massive boycott on Monday to stop business as usual

If all goes as organizers plan, major American cities will be disrupted Monday by what’s being called “The Great May 1st Boycott,” or “A Day Without an Immigrant.”

“Millions of workers, men and women without documents and their s

upporters who are, in fact, legal United States citizens will heed the call to not go to work,” said Juan Jose Gutierrez, national coordinator of Latino Movement USA and one of the lead organizers of Monday’s planned boycott. (Watch why organizers say the boycott is needed — 1:40)

“Many hundreds of thousands of students, perhaps millions, will stay away from school and people will not shop and will not sell anything,” Gutierrez said. (Immigration by the numbers)

Wowsa. It only makes me wonder what would happen if we threw in some under employed negros and white folks into the mix (HI WALT), what would happen?

Not only does the Pharcyde represent a turning point in my perception of Black Men but it also represents a playfulness in hip hop that I seriously miss.

WHY was there NO coverage of Sharpe James dropping out of the race against Corey Booker.

Newark hasn’t always seemed a place worth fighting for. Sharpe James’s political career began here in 1970, three years after the riots that (besides the airport, and Philip Roth) are what the city has been best known for. And though Newark has recently shown signs of revitalization — the new arts center downtown has become a destination — it’s consistently ranked among the worst places to raise a child in America. James, who grew up in Newark, the son of a single mother who owned a restaurant, has tried to make their respective upbringings an issue, painting the contest in terms of race and authenticity. “You have to learn to be an African-American,” he’s said about Booker. “And we don’t have time to train you.”

James wrote that he is withdrawing because he opposes dual office-holding, a common practice in New Jersey. James is also a Democratic state senator.

“There is an abundant supply of individuals possessing the talent, intelligence and creativity to serve in public office without the necessity of one person occupying dual elected office,” James wrote.

James has been a state senator since 1999, so it is surprising that he now considers holding dual offices a problem, said David Rebovich, a political analyst at Rider University.

So Newsweek is diggin into the Duke Lacross Rape Case jawn.

The two players arrested last week fit the rich-kid stereotype, though they were praised by neighbors and teachers as exemplary young men. Seligmann’s father works in finance; the family lives in a stately brick Georgian in Essex Fells, N.J., assessed at $1.35 million in 2005. Seligmann, who was recruited by Harvard and Princeton as well as Duke, was described by Essex Fells Mayor Ed Abbot as “in many ways a role model to all the boys.” Finnerty’s father is a Wall Street financier with a $2 million Dutch colonial next to the Garden City (N.Y.) Golf Club and a $4.3 million summer home in West Hampton Beach, complete with motorboat and tennis court. Finnerty is said to be soft-spoken, a team player, reserved, even passive, though a bit of a wise guy. Last November, he and two high-school teammates were arrested for jumping and punching a pair of recent college grads on a street in Washington, D.C.’s preppy Georgetown, well after midnight. Finnerty and his mates had taunted their victims by calling them “gay.” (Finnerty agreed to perform community service to avoid being formally charged. It is unclear if the rape arrest will affect that case.) [Sense of entitlement anyone?]
The evening ended in recriminations. The defense lawyers say that Roberts mocked the boys’ manhood; Roberts says the boys called her a “n—–.” The neighbor heard one of the boys yell, “Hey b—-, thank your grandpa for my nice cotton shirt.” Roberts called 911 and complained to police that some students at 610 North Buchanan were taunting her and her friend with racial epithets. She told NEWSWEEK that she yelled out at the boys, “I called the cops, you dumbasses.”

The transcript of the 911 call makes it sound as though she and the other dancer were just passersby being racially insulted by students. [This makes sense now]. “I was angry and I had to tell somebody,” says Roberts. “I didn’t want everyone to know I’m a dancer.” During her interview with NEWSWEEK, she disputed the defense timeline, but she would not go on the record to be specific about the discrepancies.

At first, Roberts says she did not think the other dancer had been raped. She was mad at the other stripper, who was almost passed out in the car and not talking. Roberts said she had not collected all the money owed them for the dance, and she wondered if the other dancer was somehow hustling her. She drove to a local Kroger supermarket and told the security guard there that she had a woman in her car who could barely move. The police arrived and radioed back to the dispatcher that the woman was “passed-out drunk” but otherwise appeared unharmed.

Police logs show that the woman was taken to the Duke hospital at 2:31 a.m., after a stop at a substance-abuse center, and that she claimed she had been raped. She was examined by a sexual-assault nurse and likely given a battery of blood and urine tests. According to Nifong, a hospital report later showed that her injuries and emotional state were consistent with having been raped. According to a police affidavit, she later claimed she had been held down, beaten, strangled, and raped vaginally, anally and orally. She identified the first names of three men at the lacrosse party, but said the players were using different names at different times (none of the first names in the police affidavit match the first names of the two players indicted last week).

I also went to all three classes yesterday too. Big Wednesday is what I called them. Lemme find out though. Con law dude called on me again. How you ‘gon have 125 people in your class and call on baby girl twice?!?!?!?!

Mind you it was a MAD SOPHISTICATED topic. The topic was how to determine when a private entity is a state actor (ie the goverment), which then would allow them to be sued for violated federal civl rights. So for instance, if a school/college is found to be discriminitory, the question whether they are a state actor, and if so, we can then can sue them for those violations.


The entire class was buzzing when he called on me. I was looking cute that day. I ain’t gonna lie I was in a little deer in the head lights. But you know what F&CK them. I was not going to give them little shark bait a$$ nigg@s the satisfa
ction of seeing me ask for a pass. So I knuckled up and answered the questions. Needless to say I got some pretty boy Floyd type swagger jumping off.

LL Cool J is a stand up dude. I saw him on Tavis the other day talking about BLACK WOMEN in music videos. I got to thinking. If anyone has the leverage to be the center of a coaltion on images of BLACK women in music videos, its LL. Peep part the transcript below.
———————————————————————————-

LL Cool J: I can give you a lot of positives, but the one critique, being as that’s the word you used, the criticism I would give is that there’s room for more love in the music. And there’s room for better treatment of women in the music. Like it’s interesting, I made songs about women my whole career, and love and relationships, and I did that before I had daughters.

So it’s not like my daughters caused that. But as a guy who has three daughters in addition to a son, but three daughters, when I look at the way the girls are treated in the video, it’s not that I don?t wanna see somebody look sexy. Please. It’s not like I don?t think a woman can be in a bikini, that?s ridiculous.

But sometimes, it’s the way they?re treated and the way they?re constantly portrayed that can get a little, I think, it can be a little disappointing. A little disappointing. I think that a woman has the right to look at this music and look at the videos and be inspired to be something more than just one thing. And I think that’s the only thing that I see as a problem.

That, and just there’s room for more love. I think a little less anger, a little more love; I think the music would be a lot healthier. I think it’s just a little one-sided now.

Tavis: But you?re not hating on the “Around the Way Girl,? though.

LL Cool J: No, no. No, no, no, no. “Around the Way Girl,? but see, “Around the Way Girl? was about the girl next door, lifting her up. And I want a girl with extensions in her hair, bamboo earrings, like, I was…

Tavis: At least two pair.

CUNY and the NY TIMES DOES NOT CARE ABOUT BLACK MEN. Okay. Maybe the TIMES cares, but they are clearly sending out inconsistent messages regarding our plight.

So let me get this straight.

Black men are suffering, according to the NY Times. Well, duh, like WE didn’t know that.

Harry Holzer, an economist at Georgetown University and a co-author of one
of the recent studies, typifies this attitude. Joblessness, he feels, is
due to largely weak schooling, a lack of reading and math skills at a time
when such skills are increasingly required even for blue-collar jobs, and
the poverty of black neighborhoods. Unable to find jobs, he claims, black
males turn to illegal activities, especially the drug trade and chronic
drug use, and often end up in prison. He also criticizes the practice of
withholding child-support payments from the wages of absentee fathers who
do find jobs, telling The Times that to these men, such levies “amount to
a tax on earnings.”

His conclusions are shared by scholars like Ronald B. Mincy of Columbia,
the author of a study called “Black Males Left Behind,” and Gary Orfield
of Harvard, who asserts that America is “pumping out boys with no honest
alternative.”

——————————————————————————————————
There is a program
at CUNY that addresses the rentention of Black men in college.

———————————————————————————————–
And low and behold, this organization says, says that the program is disciminitory.

CUNY Program to Help Black Men Is Called Discriminatory

A New York advocacy organization asked the United States Department of Education yesterday to look into whether programs aimed at helping black male students at the City University of New York and its Medgar Evers College discriminated against women and students who are not black.

In a complaint filed with the department’s Office for Civil Rights, the group, the New York Civil Rights Coalition, asserted that the Male Development and Empowerment Center at Medgar Evers, and other programs at the college and at CUNY, violated federal regulations prohibiting discrimination by race or gender.

The student body at Medgar Evers, which is in Brooklyn, is 94 percent black and 76 percent female. The college created the center to help it attract and retain male students and to help them graduate. The center offers workshops and other services for men.

“This is plainly wrong,” said Michael Meyers, executive director of the coalition, a 20-year-old group that describes itself as having been founded “to promote racial integration and racial reconciliation and to vigorously oppose racial separatism, segregation, prejudice and all other forms of racial idiocy.”

Michael Meyers is President and Executive Director of the New York Civil Rights Coalition (NYCRC), which he co-founded in 1986.

Meyers assumed the post of NYCRC Executive Director in 1991 from his senior staff position in the New Jersey Department of Higher Education, where he had served as Special Assistant to the Chancellor of Higher Education, T. Edward Hollander. Meyers took his B.A. from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, OH and his J.D. from Rutgers University School of Law. He has spent his entire professional career working in the fields of civil rights, civil liberties, law and education, and urban affairs, and, as such, is regarded as an expert on civil rights matters and race relations. Born in Harlem, Michael Meyers knows first-hand the ghetto experience which, as he puts it, “contributes to the defeat of the human spirit; the only way to end the ghetto is to get out of it.” [ Clearly no love for the hood or the people that live in it]. —————————————————————————

is illegal because it excludes WHITE PEOPLE AND WOMEN.

How is Mr. Myers going to co-sign on eliminating a program that helps MEN that look just like him. *SHAKES MY HEAD*.

What are black men suppose to do? Just crawl under a rock and DIE?

SHE WAS JUST A STRIPPER.
Peep this article and interview from the MSNBC. A cab driver who picked up two of the Lacross team players said he heard one of them say LOUD AND CLEAR, SHE WAS JUST A STRIPPER. [NICE].

In an interview on MSNBC, Mostafa said he returned to the house later to pick up another customer. He said he remembered that person ?said in a loud voice, ?She just a stripper.??
