By Any Means Nesssary Part 24

Minny was up at the crack of dawn,as the old folk use to say before God turned on the lights.The Smell of smoked country ham smoldered the house,the children were awaken naturally,Sampson set along silently in the bed praying and thanking God for his blessing.

By Any Means Necsessary Part 23

Life in Crackling,NC hadn't changed that much since MLK and since the Civil Rights Moment had struck,truth be told most Black folk were cool without him,white folk control the the town and if you were trying to go along then you had no problem.But with remembering himself being close to death Sampson refuse to accept things as they use to be,he remembered the bullet wounds from the war,he remembered the drugs and alcohol,he  couldn't forget the sadness of not being the father that he is now.

By Any Means Necessary Part 22

It's been  almost a year since Sampson had taken charge of his life and therefore his family,he had planted 40 acres of tobacco and 10 acres  of corn,this was the first spring that he didn't have to go to the saving and loan for help,and his wife Minny was having their seventh child.

Economics 101,Nike,Kanye West

I just read a story in our local fish wrapper here,talking about the selling and hyping of the new designer sneaker by Nike for Kayne West for a whopping $245.00.
The story went on to talk about a few young brothers who had camped out at the local mall store for a week so they would be the first to purchase these new designer sneakers.
My first reaction was to say what the f----,where were their  parents,where were their auntie,uncle,sister,brother,any damn body to drag their little behinds home and pimp slap them!
I wear a size 17 EEEE tennis shoe and shopped on line for a week at amazon until I found a pair  of New Balance for under $50.00.
Now you see why we as a culture are not taken serious,by anyone including our own selves.

Waiting For Justice To Show Her Face

And we all know justice has a dark side that is seldom talked about,simply put some folks who become involved  with her finally find out that she has two sides to her.
One side perpetuates this image of fairness,the other side simply discard certain people with no sense of shame.
George Zimmerman is again back in jail where he should have been from the beginning,he lied to the court about his finances and was allowed to make bail for the execution of Trayvon Martin.
If someone of other economic class and race had been in the same circumstance Zimmerman found himself in bail would  have been denied,quick fast and in a hurry.
Skippy or Ray-Ray would still be on the phone in the cell block asking auntie,moma,sister,brother to get him out of jail.
The public defender probably would have been to see him to offer  a life sentence to get their case out of the system.
Richard Pryor said it right the first time back in the 1970's when you go down to the courthouse for justice,thats all you see just us,meaning everyone who can afford to work the system never see the inside of a jail cell.
