The Most Backward People In The World

We live among some of the most backward people in the world. A large portion of the population in this society is always moving in the wrong direction. The more of them that graduate from schools the less they know. The more these backward people visit hospitals the sicker they become. The more the backwards get involved in government the less political power they have. The argument is that people cannot help that institutions are harming them, but these people are supporting the institutions that harm them the most. I have offered ideas that would help people to create forward thinking institutions. The backward people either ignore me or scold me for giving them rational solutions to their problems. The backward people actually believe that problems are life. The backward people are committed to doing the wrong thing, so they are doomed to die as failures to their communities.

Living With Climate Change

When we live long enough we can divide our lives in pre and past eras. I have a pre climate change way of life and a post climate change way of life. Before climate change I looked forward to seasons. In New York City we had four seasons every year. In the past decade we can experience all four seasons within one week. Sometimes it will feel like winter in the morning and spring by the afternoon. I have to take the weather day by day. I keep a small amount of clothes in the closet for all seasons. I also have to keep as few things as possible so that I can move quickly when extreme weather happens. Climate change forces us to be flexible. I am a veteran of super storm Sandy and preparation made the situation easier. With climate change I have noticed that mental flexibility is more important than physical flexibility. You have to be able to sleep at a shelter, on a friends floor, or any place else. You also have to be able to live on dry food as well as raw food. I see others falling to extreme weather events, but we will get used to climate change. 

Review Of The Angry Book By Theodore Isaac Rubin

It seems like we see someone lose control to anger every day. The Angry Book by Theodore Isaac Rubin could help so many of these people. The Angry Book helped me when I was angry about the lack of support that I was getting from my so called loved ones. Rubin showed that anger is real and should be expressed, but it should be expressed toward the people who deserve it. When we hold anger in it will destroy us. We often hold this anger in so that we will not hurt those we love. I realized that many of these people never loved me back. Rubin gives you multiple scenarios and solutions so that you will find your situation in this book. The Angry Book by Theodore Isaac Rubin will save you a lot of energy. It could even save your life.

John Brown Speaks To Me

John Brown speaks to me. We talk about how courageous it is to stand up for high principles. If principles are too much you should have ideals. We laugh about how the people who created a false mythology about a whole group to brutalize and enslave them call Brown crazy. Brown and I talk about how much chemicals or drugs have taken away the courage of so many people these days. We all know what the problems are, but too many of us would rather sit passively as problems rise. I have seen people killed by problems that could easily have been solved if the person had shown a bit of motivation. Brown says that when there is an injustice we should meet it with justice in the most aggressive way. I agree with him. When I see NYPD killing us I say shut them out of our community altogether. When parents are abusive we should take children from them as a community. I tell John Brown that if he were riding against slave masters today he would probably be riding alone.

Review Of Blink By Malcolm Blackwell

Blink by Malcolm Gladwell is a book about where our decisions come from. If you are enlightened you may be in tuned with your sub conscious mind. We all know that the number of people that fit into this category is tiny. Most of the people existing react to situations or follow orders. Almost everyone you come across makes decisions based on gut instincts or faulty learning systems. Blink shows how this form of decision making leads to tragic events. Some people have been taught to think a certain way about other people, places, and things. When the misled come in contact with people, places and things that they were ill informed about, it usually ends badly.  Gladwell points out that solving this problem is not as easy as punishing the person who commits deadly acts based on ignorance because we are not in control of our educational systems until late in our lives. Even as adults we are forced to go along with certain systems in order to maintain food, clothing and shelter. As the systems have broken down now is a good time to create better systems. Read Blink by Malcolm Gladwell to see how to create real educational systems.

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.
