I have an uncomfortable feeling why they got Bush in the White House because he up to things too. Remember the thing with getting duck tape to put it on your windows to protect from a bomb, what happen was I read Bush was boys with the dude from the duck tape company he stressed to buy. He stressed to buy a particular type of duck tape and that was kinda suspect right there.

All the money they putting into building back up Iraq those are Dick Cheney’s contracting company. They selling oil to Iraq at enormous prices. Iraq got oil why we selling them oil. Isn’t it funny that George Bush’s family is in the oil business and we just happened to attack a country that was rich in oil and now we are in charge of restructuring the country.

There are so many issues out here and not to necessarily jump off the war topic, but just bringing it back to education I wanted to mention the voucher program. They give you a couple more dollars to try to go to another school instead of fixing the school that’s jacked up. I can’t believe people listen to these platforms and understand that this man is telling you I’ll give you $1500 to go to a private school in another area where school’s cost around $3,000 of more a year so if you don’t have the first $1500 or $2500 what good is that extra $1500 gonna do. It’s so much ignorance right now I just step back and say I can’t understand why people aren’t picking up on this.

We’re blinded.

We’re victims of the media too so they are controlling our thoughts especially our youth that grow up to be naïve adults.

I can tell you what every girl, every dude got on in Baltimore, and I’m sitting in Brooklyn. I bet you niggas got on baseball hats and doorags, some type of throwback jersey, air force ones and the girls got they asscrack or thongs hanging out, half shirts because that’s TV.

When I was in school I’d meet cats from another country and they will tell you I expected black people to be like this or like that and it’s the media wherever they at so when they come over here their family is like stay away from them.

I’ll do you one even better. My lil cousin goes to school in New Jersey that’s not even a different country just one state away. Most of the school is all white there are only like six black kids in her school and she said they found out she was from Brooklyn and they started asking her was she in a gang. She was like I had to really stop myself from flipping. She said they said something like do you know your father.

Ohhhhh….Damn!!!

They have a perception that we are not that intelligent and we all come from beat up homes with no daddy, we all gang influenced, and if we go anywhere they are at its because we are breaking out of one of those.

Now check this out I’m from the Bronx and my friend and his wife drove up from Maryland to visit my mom. So we go into my neighborhood and she was like I didn’t know there were trees in the Bronx. I’m like what were you expecting just all projects or something.

They think its just all burnt down buildings. Some parts of the Bronx are so nice and expensive to live in.

That’s just crazy to me that somebody would really think there are no trees in NYC.

They think we live in one big project that stretch across all of New York.

You ever peep how you might talk to people from other countries and they might say their white when they come over here but we as Americans look at them and we know they are people of color. I met this chick she’s French but her dad is from Africa and I can look at her and tell she has some black in her. She speaks about herself like she is not black and white people accept that because she is pretty.

Females always get that lil extra treatment and if they want to flip it like that to fit in white men will accept it. If it was any type of black dude they aren’t gonna let that happen.
