Review Of Kemet, Afrocentricity, And Knowledge By Molefi Kete Asante

Kemet, Afrocentricity, and Knowledge by Molefi Kete Asante is an important book. I learned a lot about the culture that my community should have. It set me on a mental journey to find out why our community does not care about anything any more. I found from all of my research that the members of my community have chosen to dedicate themselves to working for others and entertaining themselves. It is a shame that this is their choice because Asante is great thinker who deserves to be held in high esteem in our community. Instead as a people we have chosen to honor Jay Z, Oprah Winfrey, and Barack Obama. None of these types of people have done anything to further a healthy culture for our community. If anyone wants to know what dark people could be instead of the abomination they have become, read Kemet, Afrocentricity, and Knowledge by Molefi Kete Asante.

The Proper Use Of Hip Hop

After watching a few performances from the 2014 Grammy Awards spectacle it was clear that some people are not using hip hop properly. Hip Hop is an art form created by an oppressed youth to expose social ills. Some have always used hip hop to have fun, but even then we were partying to escape social ills for a moment. At the Grammys one hip hop artist used hip hop to grind with his almost nude wife. He was selling sex for personal financial gain. Another hip hop artist was using hip hop to push for same sex marriage rights. You may disagree with same sex marriage, but you’d have to agree that this is closer to the true spirit of hip hop. The most disturbing part about the artist who used hip hop like a prostitute is that he is an artist who was around when the art form was at its purest. He also comes from the community that developed hip hop. It seems that some of us need a refresher course on the proper use of hip hop. Of course those who need to remember most about hip hop are the least interested in the art of hip hop.

Review Of Racial And Ethnic Groups By Richard T. Schaefer

I studied Racial and ethnic Groups by Richard T. Schaefer in a psychology class. I dropped out of the class because the professor was really too busy to teach it, but I kept the book. Schaefer provides the psychological make up of different ethnic groups in the United States. If you think that you are just an individual American you are insane. We all belong to ethnic groups and we are as developed as our groups. When we rise beyond the group while the group is unhealthy we crash and burn. Schaefer exposes how the system of the United States affects all of the ethnic groups living here as well as how these groups deal with the system. Almost all of the ethnic groups create alternative systems to compensate for what the dominate system neglects to do or does to harm them. The only ethnic group that allows themselves to be attacked without answer is the African American, or what I call the dark people. Racial and Ethnic Groups by Richard T. Schaefer is one of my favorite books. I go back to it constantly for information and so will you.

State Of The Union 2014

Obama’s state of the union speech is a great example of illusion. You cannot have a state of a union when there is no union. Southern states will never accept Barack Obama as a leader because he is a senator from Illinois and a product of the emancipation proclamation. Southern states will never embrace someone who represents what they believe is a war crime. The northern states only tolerate Obama because he allows them to empty urban centers by any means necessary for what ever purpose. Without a union everything falls back on communities. If you belong to a community that creates cooperatives for food, clothing, and shelter you are fine. If you belong to a community that does not cooperate you are in trouble. All the hard work you do as an individual is wasted if you are in a dead community. Go outside and look around you. That is the state of your union.

Review Of Visions By Michio Kaku

We are living in a time of breakthroughs. We are learning about the cosmos, new planets, and the nature of our existence. The problem is that the people in our society are lagging behind in the mental development necessary to function in this new era. Visions by Michio Kauku is one of the books in my library that will help bring you up to mental speed with our era. You will learn about the technologies that we take for granted, things we did have twenty years ago. Kaku makes predictions for technology to come. Some of Kaku’s predictions are here now and some are on the way. We need to know about new technologies and discoveries because they are changing our society. The largest change is how to run an economic based society when human workers are not needed. Will we use this opportunity to become civilized around a set of deeper concepts? Will we become extinct? There really are not many choices between. Read visions by Michio Kaku to have fun while you learn of our changing world.

Review Of The Homeless By Christopher Jencks

Homelessness is a growing problem in the United States. As resources continue to flow upward away from the masses more people find themselves without conventional dwelling places. The Homeless by Christopher Jencks explains how people become homeless as well as the politics that keeps people without places to live. The Homeless is an older book, but as a person on the brink of homelessness myself I can say that not much has changed in New York City. We are still a city with too many high priced units and too many poor people. Jencks puts ideas in The Homeless that would help, but not enough people care to implement any solutions. Politicians are on the payroll of developers. Those who have places to live turn away from the homeless. I make enough with my e-books, vlogs and blogs to live on a train during the night. During the day I can upload stories. Read The Homeless by Christopher Jencks to find out about the homeless issues as well as how to make them issues of the past.
