Hey folks,
Been on a bit of a break while still working towards helping to make people more aware of what's happening around them, on all levels of society.
The 'fantasy fall out' really turned into a 'fall out' :: but the spirit was all about getting the Truth out so that people can know both sides. Like so many things in our world, people too often get THEIR Side out first, and make the OTHER side look bad; I just wanted to beat them to the punch.
This is so typical though :: Just last week I ended up in verbal fights with people close to me; Now they were wrong; but what tends to happen with people is, they get upset that I cussed them out; They never look at why I had to cuss them out; They over look how wrong they talked to me, how disrespectful they treated me, and so it's starting to become Pretty annoying.
I'd like to address this to everyone in the world.
If you wrong someone, They have a Right to cuss you out for it;
If they chose not to, that is their choice; but if they chose TO do it, it's not because they are a bad person; no... YOU are a bad person for mistreating them, and expecting to be Respected in return.
What annoys me is, I've developed a reputation, that has been miscommunicated and misconstrued by "Victim Mentality" people :: people who like to portray themselves as innocent, when they are far from it.
I say all of this because it's Very similar to what happened with the 'fantasy fall out' - the people named in those blog posts, got upset with me. Nevermind that they wronged me, talked bad about me amongst each other and anyone who would listen ... nevermind that they owed (and many still owe) me money :: They act like I'm supposed to just be Okay with it all; and not say, or do anything back.
I'm finding that there are Far too many people in our World like this :: What the hell is happening?
What has made so many people think they can say, and do anything, and NOT face repercussions?
How have so many people gotten such Crazy thoughts in their heads?
Maybe it's because I grew up playing sports, and I recognize that we all make mistakes; but when we Make them, it only benefits us to acknowledge the mistake, so we can Learn from it --- and NOT Make the SAME Mistakes over and over again.
While I work on not cussing people out who wrong me; there doesn't seem to be any other peaceful alternatives; So while I look and pray for one, please pray for me :) Pray for our world... and for the hope that Common sense, will one day soon, become "common"

America Needs to Grow up about Sex pt. 1
Ok so, I log into my yahoo today; front page story, is about yet another Politician who cheated on his wife. Big Effing deal in my book.
That's right ... I said it ... Big Effing Deal.
Ladies, don't get mad at me; Get mad at our American Society and our uptightness about sex. That's where so many of our problems are right now; never mind medical/health concerns, economic crisis - we're in a LOVE crisis!
You see folks, there is an old adage, that came along with our American, Puritanical Society - that says, "a man is as faithful as his options" ...
When Kobe got in trouble years ago, I predicted at ThaClub that nothing would happen; That he did not rape the girl; that it was a silly, absurd accusation. No man in Kobe's position would ever have to rape anyone.
Yet, there were ladies who just wanted to argue with me, who would say silly things like 'u never know' - and I'm sorry if you're one of those ladies; or one of those guys who enjoys to sympathize with the ladies; but both of you are just plain wrong; In this case, you DO Know. No NBA player has to rape any woman... ever ... ever ... ever.
Because those are men, who have Options and lots of them. If a girl says no, they have 10 other girls in the lobby waiting and hoping he'll come back downstairs so they can get one more chance to get up to his room.
And this is true for All men of stature in American Society. This is NOT true for the rest of us... and ladies, seemingly have No understanding whatsoever, of what it's like to be a Man, when it comes to sex.
Which is why I'm saying today, America needs to Grow up already; Of course the Gov. cheated on his wife; Most Gov's do - that's right, I said it.
Oh the story hasn't come out; They haven't called a news conference to confess it; but, it's happened - I bet you ... This won't be the last politician to come out and confess to an affair; You know it won't ... because these men, have More Opportunities, than the rest of us.
If you're a guy with No Money .. and the Ladies always give me a hard time with this one ... but I don't care because this is just the plain truth -- women Throw it at you. For most of us ... we don't get it thrown at us; when we do, we jump at the opportunity because we don't know when it'll come again.
So, guys in their position, turn down a LOT of chances to cheat; They just get so many thrown at them that, from time to time ... they indulge.
Sex is NOT the same for Men and Women; there IS a double standard, and it's for that reason. The rules are not the same; If you're a man, you have to ask for sex - you have to do things for sex - you have to become someone for sex - there is a lot involved. For women ... all you have to do is walk outside. Some guy will come up to you and ask you for sex (in one way or another) - Some take a more prolonged approach, dinner, movies, ... hopefully some sex later. Other guys get right to the point. But essentially, that's what's happening ladies ... He doesn't really like your dress; it's cool; But, it would look better on his floor.
That's right ... I said that too.
This ladies and gents, is where the double standard comes from.
I have noticed recently, that this idea I have been floating around for some time now, at least 3 to 5 years, is starting to take hold; there is hope for the future indeed. Once we as Americans Understand WHY the "double standard" is in place, then perhaps we can move to a more, mature, adult area in our lives, and as a society.
It's Easier for Women to get laid, than it is for Men to get laid.
Therefore, if a woman is sleeping around, she's a slut. If a guy is sleeping around, he's a player.
Listen ladies... I know most of you hate this double standard - but it exist because YOU Run society.
It is YOU who has determined that man, should commit to only one woman, for life. It's an unrealistic dream - that often does not work out; though sometimes it does; and that's great - but You are going against nature.
Nature always wins. This is where we need to Grow up. This is a fact we need to accept. Men and Women are wired differently - we need to Grow up, and Accept this.
A man takes what he can get; Hate to put it that way ... but it's true. Let's say a man is able to get a woman; He's grateful, glad he's got one -- but as time goes on, he moves up in stature, and suddently, he's able to get more women; More women are interested, more women are offering him a night of pleasure; and now that he can... he'll look into it.
That's how we are wired ...
Ladies, you already have options - you do - you have lots of men interested in you, at nearly all points of your lives; Even when you're taken; So... when You pick a man, he's the man You want. You don't want anyone else;
That's how you are wired ladies;
You're different ... We're different
There is only one remedy - we have to change how 'men's options' currently are. Until it's as easy for men to get laid, as it is for women to get laid, men will continue to cheat on their wives; They'll continue to pick a woman based on, 'who wants me' - rather than 'that's who I want'
Who wants me works in the short term ... until someone else wants me.
But Al, you are contradicting yourself ... didn't you say that guys "of stature" Have options, and basically get to pick 'who they want' ...? ... some of you may be saying...
What I forgot to explain is this; Sure those guys have options "now" - but before they became men of stature, they were just like the rest of us guys who had none. They remember when they couldn't get it so easily. They love their wives, often they don't cheat because of something they dislike about their wife; It has more to do with taking advantage of an opportunity to be with a woman, they otherwise, would not get a chance to be with.
You see, women are Beautiful to us... we love how you look; We do.
Not all of you are shaped the exact same; and yet we love every distinction. You drive us guys wild ... you make us desire you, with the things you wear ... and sometimes don't wear. Lots of men, desire Lots of different women .. and yet, Most of us can only get one who desires us.
So when a guy is in a position, where lots of women, who he desires, also has desire for him ... he realizes immediately that he's in a position other men are Not in; and he can either enjoy the moment; or pass on it.
Other men would not pass it up. And often, the 'other man' mentality takes over. The, ... Hey, If I wasn't who I am, she would not be here right now. So I'm gonna take these down, for all my dudes in the world, who wish they could.
... the Gov was out in Argentina - you know she was a bad motha .... (shut yo mouth) ... what? I'm just talkin about sex ...
We need to grow up folks - perhaps when it's as easy for men, as it is for women, Then our 'double standard' goes by the wayside. Perhaps then we stop calling women sluts if they enjoy spreading pleasure, love, and joy - perhaps we see more loving relationships between men and women; Perhaps our family lives change - perhaps violence goes down in our society; fewer domestic cases; fewer rape cases; People living longer - more happier, productive lives ...
Perhaps, as silly as it may sound, More sex Truly is THE Solution ...
That's right ... I said it ... Big Effing Deal.
Ladies, don't get mad at me; Get mad at our American Society and our uptightness about sex. That's where so many of our problems are right now; never mind medical/health concerns, economic crisis - we're in a LOVE crisis!

Kobe Bryant MVP 2009 - Making the case
This year, there has been a lot of talk of awarding Lebron James with the MVP For this season. It's way too early for this kind of talk but, if people are going to do it, then please consider this.
In two match ups between Kobe and Lebron this year, Kobe's team won, Lebron didn't play well largely due to Defense played by Kobe Bryant, and Kobe's team has a higher winning percentage this year.
If the Lakers finish in 1st place in the west, and Lebron's Cavs are 2nd to Boston; How can you justify awarding Lebron James with the MVP? If the Lakers finish the season with the best record in the NBA, and the Cavs are 1st in the East but 2nd record-wise; How can you justify awarding Lebron James with the MVP?
You want to try the, "Lebron's team isn't as good as Kobe's, so they got as far as they did because of Lebron" argument?
Well, that didn't work for Kobe.
All those years Steve Nash robbed Kobe of his MVP when he had players like Kwame Brown and Brian Cook to pass the ball too - even though most of the time they fumbled it out of bounds, traveled, or turned it over in some way ... Kobe was able to guide a Very Less talented team into the playoffs, and they "almost" beat Nash's more experienced and more talented team.
If that argument didn't work for Kobe; How can you justify it for Lebron James?
Lately, the MVP has gone to the best player, on the best team - Last year, Kobe got it because the Lakers were in 1st place - AND - he had another phenominal year. He's having another one of those hall of fame seasons; His team is near the top.... Time to start the Kobe back-to-back MVP Talks for th 2008-2009 season, NOW!

Poor Jessica Simpson, Meltdown reported...
Yep... another case of the media driving people crazy. Jessica Simpson had a meltdown at a concert ... I am guessing all the media hype about her being Fat got to her; Those pictures were blasted everywhere ... you saw them. Seemingly every television station, every show of every hour, every magazine or newspaper had something about it; Poor girl ...
They do this all the time though; some blame the paparazzi for Princess Diana's demise. Look at what they made Kanye do ... the guy lost his mom give him some space, and just this week, Miley Cyrus says the media is coming after her... Stating that, they did it to Britney, (and she did go crazy) but now that she's back on top, they're coming after her.
And while She is breaking the law... we wouldn't know about it if the media wasn't telling us. They're kind of intrusive... and yet, I am sure they like it that way.
Let's face it ... Drama Sells...
People, Eat it up.
So, Until People start desiring to eat something else ....
I guess what I'm trying to say here is, in my opinion only of course, that our media will do what we tell it to do; It will tell us what we really want to know; and if that's what we ask for, then that's what they'll give us; ... Eventually, We need to stop giving a shit about stuff like this so that our media can stop giving a shit too. Let's steer our attention and to do that, I mean let's steer our Interests towards creating that better society; the more loving, more equal, more Happy society ... Here's to you America!
Here's to our future!

YouTube vids, Slowing down ThaShow
Sorry folks...
The number of YouTube videos I had on here were slowing down the load times for thaShow - I do apologize for that - one of the things I originally wanted to do here were podcasts, sharing my thoughts on different topics - but I have far too many irons in the fire so to speak, to devote the time, to create quality videos or audio recordings - So, I went with another idea I had, to share the kinds of Videos I enjoy; that I think other people can gain a lot of insight from.
I've reduced the number of posts that show up; and will keep in mind moving forward not to post So many Video Series' back to back - I've got a good one on the way called, "The Origin of Aids" that aired on Sundance Channel; I'm trying to get some of my partners in knowledge to contribute to ThaShow; giving you more to read or watch, more often. So, stay tuned for that...
But the next video series will be an eye opener; that's for sure - because it's been said for many years by black people, including more recently Kanye West in a song; and when the Rev. Jeremiah Wright said it, he was talked about like he was crazy - but He's not - Scientists Created the AIDS Virus, then told Africans to come get a Polio Vaccine Shot; which was really, a Shot of AIDS; and from there, the epidemic has spread.
Sound Familiar?
The Gov't did this before - with Syphilis; this is well known, the Tuskegee Experiment.
My White brothers and sisters need this information; SO many still believe that racism is over with; that tactics are no longer being used to negatively effect black people - They need to know this - because whatever they do to blacks, eventually effects whites also; In the end, the only color that 'really' matters is Green; but racism is often used to keep us divided; so that white people will not care about what is happening to blacks; under the guise of feeling that there are still benefits to being white - sure, it's obvious to some; but sadly it's not obvious to nearly enough white people, as I feel they are the only ones who can truly put an end to what's happening in our world.
Much more from me on these topics - Stay tuned!

More Discussions on Prop 8: Fine Line & Kokema
Some good videos, thoughts and discussions on prop 8
Part 2 ...
Some really good thoughts, by a very intelligent woman. I don't agree with all of what she says, but she raises some Very Good issues.
Below is a discussion from "Fine Line" - which is very good, and worth listening to. But first let me address some of what she is saying.
Interracial Marriage is about a man, and a woman. Gender is not the same as sexual preference. She raises the point, that it's inconclusive if homosexuality is Nature or Nurture - which is indeed the Biggest Unsettled aspect of this argument.
There is no question however, on if you're born black, or born white - born a man, or born a woman. What happens after that, generally has more to do with environment than 'genes' - sure, genes play a role ... but, that's all it does.
Why do people join gangs? Were they born a gangster?
Why do people practice racism? Were they born a racist?
Why do people practice religion? Were they born religious?
Silly questions To some I'm sure - but for some reason it's not silly to say...
Why do people practice homosexuality? Were they born homosexual?
The answer, to me, is clearly no. This was something they chose to do... often for various reasons. What people learn at home, and from experiences they have, has a great deal to do with who, and what they become.
Studies show, that wealthy people THINK differently from poor people - Different influences create different results. Men who sleep with lots of women, were often raised differently from Men who make a concerted effort Not to sleep with lots of women. Same goes for women who sleep with lots of men, vs those who do not.
What I'm saying is, People who are gay, experienced a different environment from people who are not gay. I've had gay friends ... They were from single parent homes; often raised by women, with not much Male influence.
My father gave me something very different than my Mother. It has everything to do with the chemicals flowing through our bodies; that makes us view the world differently. Men don't see all subjects the same way Women do... like sports, or shopping. Below, is a very good discussion from people who are addressing this issue further. My hope, is that you'll listen to what they're saying, and not just discard it because it doesn't fit your views; Listen, because it is possible your views are simply misinformed...
Often here in America, we do not research topics - we let someone Tell us what to think on Issues. Look into his comments about Norway and Sweden; See if what He's saying is true ... or not true.
A very good conversation there folks... I hope you listened.
This issue also speaks to our current Misunderstandings of Gender. I speak on this often here at ThaShow, that our Relationships are suffering; our Views of Gender are off base - and this problem is mostly being created by Feminist - who just so happen to hate men, and often tend to be gay.
By undermining the Importance of Gender - many are misinformed about the differences between men and women. These Differences should not be used to elevate one gender over another, because like is the case with many successful "teams" - Not all players have the same abilities - but working Together their strengths and weaknesses balance out - and goals are achieved.
Again, this 'waterned down' view of Gender, like racism towards blacks, that All is the same, when all is NOT the same, confuses people. Men and Women are NOT the same.
So, "marriage" between a man and a man or a woman and a woman, is NOT the same as marriage between a Man, and a Woman; it's a totally Different game.
I think what is also happening is, people are Ignoring the other side of the argument. They get on the side that it's Right, that it's just like everything else, and then, they refuse to consider the possibility that its Not the same; So they Ignore any argument that says it is. It's important to Listen... to both sides.
Feel free to leave your comments on this matter below...

Below is a discussion from "Fine Line" - which is very good, and worth listening to. But first let me address some of what she is saying.
Interracial Marriage is about a man, and a woman. Gender is not the same as sexual preference. She raises the point, that it's inconclusive if homosexuality is Nature or Nurture - which is indeed the Biggest Unsettled aspect of this argument.
There is no question however, on if you're born black, or born white - born a man, or born a woman. What happens after that, generally has more to do with environment than 'genes' - sure, genes play a role ... but, that's all it does.
Why do people join gangs? Were they born a gangster?
Why do people practice racism? Were they born a racist?
Why do people practice religion? Were they born religious?
Silly questions To some I'm sure - but for some reason it's not silly to say...
Why do people practice homosexuality? Were they born homosexual?
The answer, to me, is clearly no. This was something they chose to do... often for various reasons. What people learn at home, and from experiences they have, has a great deal to do with who, and what they become.
Studies show, that wealthy people THINK differently from poor people - Different influences create different results. Men who sleep with lots of women, were often raised differently from Men who make a concerted effort Not to sleep with lots of women. Same goes for women who sleep with lots of men, vs those who do not.
What I'm saying is, People who are gay, experienced a different environment from people who are not gay. I've had gay friends ... They were from single parent homes; often raised by women, with not much Male influence.
My father gave me something very different than my Mother. It has everything to do with the chemicals flowing through our bodies; that makes us view the world differently. Men don't see all subjects the same way Women do... like sports, or shopping. Below, is a very good discussion from people who are addressing this issue further. My hope, is that you'll listen to what they're saying, and not just discard it because it doesn't fit your views; Listen, because it is possible your views are simply misinformed...
Isn't banning gay marriage the same as banning Interracial Marriage?
You're trying to impose your religion. What about separation of church and state?
Half of marriages end up in divorce, so why not allow same-sex marriages? Maybe they'll do better statistically?
Often here in America, we do not research topics - we let someone Tell us what to think on Issues. Look into his comments about Norway and Sweden; See if what He's saying is true ... or not true.
Isn't it true that kids need a loving family regardless of whether it's with a mother or father?
Why shouldn't homosexuals have the same right to marry according to their orientation?
Same Sex Marriage Doesn't Affect Me. Why should I be against it?
A very good conversation there folks... I hope you listened.
This issue also speaks to our current Misunderstandings of Gender. I speak on this often here at ThaShow, that our Relationships are suffering; our Views of Gender are off base - and this problem is mostly being created by Feminist - who just so happen to hate men, and often tend to be gay.
By undermining the Importance of Gender - many are misinformed about the differences between men and women. These Differences should not be used to elevate one gender over another, because like is the case with many successful "teams" - Not all players have the same abilities - but working Together their strengths and weaknesses balance out - and goals are achieved.
Again, this 'waterned down' view of Gender, like racism towards blacks, that All is the same, when all is NOT the same, confuses people. Men and Women are NOT the same.
So, "marriage" between a man and a man or a woman and a woman, is NOT the same as marriage between a Man, and a Woman; it's a totally Different game.
I think what is also happening is, people are Ignoring the other side of the argument. They get on the side that it's Right, that it's just like everything else, and then, they refuse to consider the possibility that its Not the same; So they Ignore any argument that says it is. It's important to Listen... to both sides.

Gay Rights vs Black People's Rights.... (prop 8)
Message to white people: "Gay rights are not the same as Black People's Rights."
This has been the campaign message of people who support Gay Marriage; That it's the same as what black people went through.
As a black man, I personally get tired of having Everyone's struggle compared to the Black American Struggle, as if All struggles are equally the same.
People often totally disregard the Huge Differences, and simplify the complexities of Racism, Slavery, and Legalized Segregation that occurred for 400 years here in America. They Minimize what actually happened, and in my opinion lose perspective.
This is why The Black Vote in this past election was overwhelmingly in support of Prop 8, to ban gay marriage; Because we know, it's not the same.
Many white people however, are baffled by this outcome. They do not understand how we could vote in a Black President, but Vote Down the "rights" of Gay people.
So, allow me to help all of the people out there who are baffled by this, to finally understand why Gay Rights are NOT the same as Black People's Rights.
Frankly, it's almost offensive - but I tend to understand these matters spring from a general Lack of Understanding: So let us begin.
Gay People are NOT being Discriminated against. Let me explain why this is.
Gay people can eat anywhere they like. They are Never refused service.
Blacks were often NOT allowed to eat in restaurants at all, or were subjected to eat in dimly lit, small and crowded 'back rooms' - and were often given the Scraps.
Gay People can Live in any Neighborhood they want to live in.
Blacks were often NOT allowed to buy homes, or rent in certain areas. When this ban was lifted, Still Real Estate Agents would Refuse to sell homes to blacks in these neighborhoods; Many people feel this practice still takes place today, though not on as large of a scale. Gay people are NOT facing this issue.
Gay People can get any Job they want.
Blacks for a long time were NOT being hired for jobs by white people. To this day it is speculated that Racial Discrimination Still takes place when it comes to who gets hired to work in certain establishments. Many blacks become discouraged, after putting in job applications for months and not getting calls back. Gay people do not experience this problem. They are NOT being discriminated against.
Gay people can attend any school they want to attend.
Blacks, for a long time were NOT allowed to attend "white schools" - schools were built "For blacks only" which often were not as good as the White ones. To this day, the inequality in the school system is present. Kids in 'white schools' recieve a far better education than kids in what used to be 'black schools' but are now more and more becoming 'hispanic schools' - again, Gay people do not face this challenge. They can recieve a quality education, especially if they are white; and no one is discriminating against them, keeping them from learning, just because they're gay.
Allow me to take a moment to address Inequalities in the School System. This effects black people for Life. There is a Generational Ignorance that has been created because of this American Policy NOT TO EDUCATE black people.
What I'm saying is, My Grandmother was not educated in White Schools. Neither was my Father; My Mom had the benefit of being an "army brat" and while my Grandfather was stationed in Germany, she received a 'white education' on the army base. Had she been in America, she would not have been afforded a quality education. So what this means is, Entire Generations of Black people do not know about many, simple ideas in America. It creates a divide of Ideology that helps keep black people where they've been since the end of Slavery...
Poor, or living in Poverty - prone to commit crimes due to lack of education and lack of opportunities - No education means u can't get certain well paying jobs; it means you wont know how to Start your Own business - A vacuum of negativity emerges and often engulfs black people - Some escape, Most do not.
Read ThaShowOnline.com - I have discussed these issues at length. And most white people do NOT understand any of these issues, simply because These issues are NOT being addressed in white schools; It's not being discussed in the homes of white people, and when it is, often what Is being discussed are not Truths; but 'racist' ideas. Such as, If black people would just work harder and make better choices, they'd be better off.
Sounds great; and while it may be true... if black people are not being "taught" this... how can you expect them to Know? It'll take me all day to delve into this issue, but I want to get back to what we were discussing.
Gay People are NOT being discriminated against.
They are allowed to practice homosexuality - There is an entire street here in Hollywood, CA that is full of Gay Bars, and Gay Clubs - If you're a black man who prefers to date white women, there are no Streets for Interracial Bars and Clubs. If you're a man who's got a sexual fetish, a leg fetish, or a foot fetish, or a women in leather fetish, there are no Streets for Fetish Lovers, with Fetish Bars and Fetish Clubs.
Homosexuality is a "sexual preference" - You may believe they were born gay. I personally do not. It is a choice that they make. If you believe they never had a choice, then I can understand why you'd think they're being discriminated against. But also, it's because you do not realize what black people Actually Went Through.
History has been condensed for you - you have been given the 'jist' of what happened, but not the 'details' - So you've been told it's all the same, and you believe it.
You have been Lied to.
You have been Misled.
Wanna know what Gay Marriage is really about?
Money.
They want the 'right' to get paid when their loved one dies - They want the 'right' to have tax benefits usually granted to married couples. There is already something in place called "Civil Unions" that would allow gay people to do all the things that 'marriage' does; It doesn't force those who do not approve of homosexuality to accept those beliefs; nor does it put churches at risk of being sued, and closed down, which would effect it's Members, often people with serious issues who Need prayer and a place of refuge; The only thing it does not give them is ... Money.
If you really feel Gay rights are the same as Black Rights; You need to use your time online to research what "actually happened" to black people - and what many black people feel is Still happening.
Gay people do not get pulled over by the police, just because they're gay.
DUI Checkpoints are not set up in Gay Neighborhoods - resulting in gay people being sent to jail for DUI's, or Not having their Tags up to date, or whatever else the police happen to find.
Gay people are not being Targeted and Shot by the police.
Gay people are not being accused of being Unamerican, for disagreements with the way things are, in America.
Gay people are NOT going through what Black people are going through. They're just Not. I'm sorry white people... but you've been lied to. You've been mislead.
On another note...
White people... when are you going to take these kinds of passionate stances, to END Racism??
I mean, so long as you wanna stand up to end discrimination for gays, where is the effort to end discrimination towards blacks?
Even up the Schools - Change and Challenge the attitudes of white people who do not believe in Dating Black people - Challenge Hispanic Owned Fast Food Joints, that currently ONLY hire Hispanics or ONLY hire 1 black person to make it 'appear' equal. Help fight the War on Poverty (the forgotten war in America) - to fix the economic disparity between blacks and whites....
No offense white people (those of you who've been mislead and lied to) - but you can't fight for the civil rights of one group, while comparing them to a group who's rights are STILL not fully realized.
And what about Africa? A Continent that was literally raped and pillaged of it's resources (it's people) and is currently suffering the after-effects - rumors of AIDS being created to kill black people, should be taken seriously - since it appears to be affecting one race more than any other.
White people, one battle at a time... You've got to complete what your ancestors started. Once you help fix Racism, Once you address that issue, and fix it's inequalities and it's current forms of discrimination, Then you'll have Perspective.
You can then learn how to reach a compromise, that works to help Gay people, and doesn't offend Straight people who simply do not believe in homosexuality.
Good luck to you all... I hope this has helped.

President Barack Obama: Economy
Already our new President is working to address the economic problems in our nation.
I am excited to see what this man can do, to help the people in this country take up ownership of this nation's success - or failure.

The Cocaine Cowboys - Fascinating stuff
I saw this on Showtime and thought it was a very well put together story, about how the Drug Wars of the 70's in Miami, Florida helped put Miami on the map ... among many other things. Rather than read what I have to say, watch it for yourselves here - or below @ ThaShow!
Coming soon... we're going to help make sense of this - Seems to me like when they stopped the drugs in Miami, Drugs got going in Cali... Hmmm - coincidence?

Ok folks... Network @ ThaShow
Talk about a movie with some really "Great" clips!
You've seen a few here so far; oh how Relevant; and yet, for some odd reason I feel like we are in between people actually taking action; and people still laying back watching.
You're either In the game - or Watching it.
It's time to Get Mad people....
the picture rolls in slow, but listen ... and watch.
They can't kill all of us ...
It has been said, that the Civil Rights movement died with MLK and Malcom. Read any book on Good Leadership, and you'll find that a Truly solid movement is diversified; One person cannot be the 'focus' - instead we All must be the focus.
if Everyone steps up to the plate, if Everyone is involved, Killing One, does not Kill the Movement.
For a movie made 30 years ago, the message is still so timely.

Life is Bullshit

True Terrorist - Skinheads, KKK .... Al Queda? Really?
And we're back.
Some sad news to report first; My heart goes out to the family of Jennifer Hudson; So sorry to hear about the death of her Mother, Brother, and now... her 7 year old Nephew.
May God reach into your life, heal, and bless you.
And .. onto even more 'sad news' - and also, as you've come to expect from me, some Perspective. I just saw this report about a plan to assasinate Barrack Obama... a plot from the Skinheads, who's views mirror that of Nazi Germany's Hitler. ... a group that was spawned FROM the Klu Klux Klan.
When This war on Terrorism was first launched, you could hear Many black people in the community talking about how We have faced Terrorism in this country for Years. Al Queda is NOT and never has been a True Threat to our freedom - Racism has. Hatred from whites, who care nothing for black people, no matter how accomplished we become, is the true threat to freedom of blacks in America - and furthermore, is a true threat to Whites as well.
We're all in this boat together people - whether you like it or not - we MUST work together, as I have been saying for years now, to put a Stop to Racism! We MUST .... It is important that we take the threat posed by racism more seriously than we have, since the Signing of the Civil Rights Bill in the late 1960's.
Since that point, there has been a steady decline, among blacks and whites, in how Serious we take the threat of racism - Too many of us accept it as status quo, as something we can do nothing about; but the truth is, that's a flat out lie.
What if we took the same approach to rooting out Terrorism here in America, as we do in Iraq? How about we bomb all the neighborhoods that are Housing Terrorist Skinheads?
I think that would get people's attention, Fast!
I bet that would encourage more White people to not only stop being racist, but to stop allowing their Sons and Daughters to belong to racist groups, such as the Klan, and Skinheads.
White people, as the "majority" in this nation, hold the Majority of the responsibility to clean this country up. It's time for them to stop being so lazy about it, so irresponsible about it, so uncaring about it, so apathetic ... It's time for White people to do their part.
Before us, stands an opportunity to Truly turn this country around - what Bush has done with our Nation is taking us DOWN - Don't you folks see what's happening? This is not about party politics anymore - this is about the well being of our nation, our country, and all of us, black and white.
Barrack's message is Unity, Change, Coming together, and working to make the changes needed, to make this Country better, again, than any other nation.
You people must know, that when We were a nation of Hypocracy, talking down on Nazi Germany for it's racism, while openly segregating and oppressing blacks, America was not a great nation; We only became great, when we decided to live up to our creed, and provide Equality for All; We Were indeed great, for about 30 years... the last 8 have slowly begun reversing all that has happened -- slowly taking us back to where we came from.
Can't you all see it?
Our Military Resources have been stretched, fighting 2 wars that cannot be won, the way we're fighting them, against people who are NOT a threat to us; If you watched the Zeitgeist Addendum I Posted, 400,000 Americans die from Heart disease vs 70 who die from Terrorism; Heart Disease is a bigger threat to us, than Terrorism is...
True Terrorism, is the fear-mongering brought to us by the Bush Administration - it's not JUST Bush alone people; it's his entire Cabinet, his elected and appointed officials, selected to carry out a purpose - the Falling of the Empire.
And it will happen, if Americans continue to be Silent on issues that truly matter.
Below, read more about this plot broken up... but please keep Barrack in your prayers, and positive thoughts; keep our Country in your prayers and positive thoughts. Hate will NOT allow us to continue, living in the 'greatest country ever'.

True Terrorism, is the fear-mongering brought to us by the Bush Administration - it's not JUST Bush alone people; it's his entire Cabinet, his elected and appointed officials, selected to carry out a purpose - the Falling of the Empire.
And it will happen, if Americans continue to be Silent on issues that truly matter.
Below, read more about this plot broken up... but please keep Barrack in your prayers, and positive thoughts; keep our Country in your prayers and positive thoughts. Hate will NOT allow us to continue, living in the 'greatest country ever'.
ATF disrupts skinhead plot to assassinate Obama
By LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writer Lara Jakes Jordan, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON – Federal agents have broken up a plot to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in a Tennessee murder spree, the ATF said Monday.
In court records unsealed Monday, federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school by two neo-Nazi skinheads. Agents said the skinheads did not identify the school by name.
Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the two men planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.
The men also sought to go on a national killing spree, with Obama as its final target, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.
"They said that would be their last, final act — that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama," Cavanaugh said. "They didn't believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying."
An Obama spokeswoman traveling with the senator in Pennsylvania had no immediate comment.
The men, Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman 18, of West Helena, Ark., are being held without bond. Agents seized a rifle, a sawed-off shotgun and three pistols from the men when they were arrested. Authorities alleged the two men were preparing to break into a gun shop to steal more.
Attorney Joe Byrd, who has been hired to represent Cowart, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday.
Cowart and Schlesselman are charged with possessing an unregistered firearm, conspiring to steal firearms from a federally licensed gun dealer, and threatening a candidate for president.
The investigation is continuing, and more charges are possible, Cavanaugh said.

Debating, Sexism, Racism, Politics @ ThaShow
Tonight is the Debate between the Vice Presidential Nominees, Gov. Sarah Palin vs. Senator Joe Biden.
Should be pretty interesting to watch; as one is dumb as a board, and the other is a loose cannon bound to say just about anything.
I wanted to share something, from a local newspaper here in Southern California, "The Wave", specifically from a Column called "Soulvine" where she speaks about Community Organizing, ... my comments follow.
There is So much I agree with right there.
Let me start out by saying I generally vote Democratic; although there are some platforms of Democrats that I do Not agree with; While I almost never agree with Republicans... and it seems so obvious to me, that one party is clearly more 'racist' than the other;
There is a saying that The Democrats cripple minorities with their welfare programs, that it's a different kind of oppression, that they are basically the same as the other party -- It's a great arguing point -- convincing for most who are not in the Minority.
But Mrs. Pleasant hits the nail on the head with her comments - While watching the RNC I was often sick to the stomach - I saw Nothing but white people - No asians, NO latin people, and hardly any blacks (I might have seen like 3 total) - What does that say? Does that say Diversity to you? Does that speak of a party that is really appealing to all races?
Odd thing is, I can remember when Bush was running for office in 2000 - many latin and hispanic people were voting for him, much of what I write about here at ThaShow, such as the divide between the black and latin community (which is sad, and should NOT exist) began to get real bad around this time.
Much of what I talk about here, such as coming together to put an end to things like racism, how it's up to the People to make changes, are some of my reasons for voting for Obama - His message, is my message - It's a hopeful message, that calls for action from The People.
His experience as a Community Organizer is Major - So why do the Republicans attack that, laugh at that, and mock it? I'll tell you why.
It's Racism... modern day, Closet, disguised Racism.
David Ike, in one of his talks that you can find online, speaks about a time when there was Overt Racism; He likes to discuss conspiracy theories, and talk of the elite, the methods they used to gain power, and how they maintain it -- He speaks specifically of South Africa, but the example he uses fits for America as well -- Going from overt, to covert; gives the illusion that the problem is fixed - when in reality, it's not.
I liken racism in 2008, to a Cold War. People feel the exact same way they did 40 years ago. White people, for the most part, do not like or respect blacks, and black people for the most part, do not like white people for That reason.
It's not openly expressed anymore, and when it is, it comes via a covert comment, such as the GOP Congressman, Lynn Westmoreland, who referred to Obama as "uppity" then denied that he meant it as a racial slur, although the phrase "Uppity Negro" is indeed racial, and that is precisely where he was leaning.
I remember being in school, most students hated History class. I dont think that we're able to truly appreciate certain subjects while we're so young - such as History, Math... when we're 11, 12, and 13 years old we have no real idea of how relevant History is - We should be teaching kids other subjects at that age, preparing them to handle topics like history and math better; helping them to understand their importance, for a few years, before teaching the class to them.
Here is why; Due to the lack of education about racism, most white people do not realize it when it's on display. What they would view as not racist, often is racist, and the lack of understanding helps keep this 'cold war' ongoing.
Covert Racism, allows Rudy cross-dressing Juliani, to bash Community Organizing - it allows Palin to use the same talking point, to put down people that are trying to Organize the people most effected by Racism, and Legalized Segregation.
Most white people fail to understand the True impact this had on blacks - and frankly, Most black people fail to understand the True impact as well - We forget, that the black community was purposely Disorganized; that Organization went against the plans of segregationalist, who did not want to see black people succeed, ever. Hence the term Uppity Negro, which was used by whites to mock blacks that wanted to progress - and was then filtered into the black community, as a way of dividing blacks - where cynical blacks would mock their own, feeling that blacks could never progress, without 'trying to be white'.
This historical context is lacking in Most people, black or white, because we as a society do not properly prepare people to understand the importance Of history.
I know one of the original Crips personally, and he Told me and a few of my friends about the very beginnings of this gang; originally, they were like the Black Panthers, a Political Group seeking to improve the conditions of black people in America, seeking to uplift black people and.... Organize the Community.
Once again the lack of Historical Context leaves both blacks, and whites, totally unaware that All programs like this were targeted by 'the powers that be' and dismantled, discredited, and destroyed. This includes the Crips, and the formation of the Bloods.
This is not a simple subject, like many white people view it to be, there are many Variables that go into Segregation, Oppression based on Racism -- it's dynamics include the usage of poverty and refusing to provide Adequate Education to blacks. What it creates are Desperate people, who are willing to do Desperate things.
Such as, selling out black people.
There have always been black people willing to sell out other blacks, for a better life, for "the American Dream" ... a car, a house, peace of mind, the pursuit of happiness.
Enter, informants, and spies, paid off by 'the powers that be' to accomplish one goal; To dismantle the groups seeking to uplift the Black Community. So, Members of the Black Panther Party begin spreading rumors, lies, in an attempt to discredit leadership, to cause in-fighting, even to go out and commit a few crimes, in the Name of the Black Panthers - giving cause to the gov't, to go after it's leaders, arrest them and bring them down.
In the case of the Crips, what happened was the same, only different. Two members got thrown out for attempting to discredit the organization - and instead, formed their own group, which would continue to discredit and throw jabs at the other ... war of words breaks out ... escalating eventually to acts of violence ... This other group, is today known as The Bloods - they killed a crip, so a crip killed a blood, and now, 30 years later, Many black people have gone to jail, have died, or have been wounded severely over this nonsense -- and the Community is in total disarray.
The Crips and Bloods, in my opinion have the Most Power in the Black Community to help change and improve things For the black community. However, right now, they're misguided, misdirected, and simply taking the Black Community in the wrong direction.
Sometime in the Late 90's, being a "thug" became cool - more and more blacks began to delve into 'criminal activities' as a status merit, a way to receive props, as the 'most thuggish ruggish' ... and the Republicans want to Mock Community Organizing?
How else will the black Community rebound from all the horrible situations that have put them where they are? If you ask me, Community Organizing is what black people need most! And while we're at it, White people too.
At some point in time, Someone, or a group of someone's, need to come together to re-educate white people about the True effects of racism, and the role they need to play to help clean up America, to make it better, and stronger for us all.
Why? Together we stand... divided we fall.
Like our Economy is doing - we don't have a voice right now because we're too divided as Americans. You don't like me because I'm black; so you reject my ideas, no matter how solid they are. In the end, You lose Your job, your house, and eventually Your country, all because you refused to do the right thing, regardless of what your grand-daddy believed in.
You see, an America where everyone knows how to prosper is an America that doesn't have the kind of poverty that it is -- which means fewer desperate people willing to do desperate things -- which means better and more improved workers, employers, and employees -- better products, better service, a Happier more united society... Utopia is not as far fetched as we've been "Led"ucated to believe.
Should be pretty interesting to watch; as one is dumb as a board, and the other is a loose cannon bound to say just about anything.

The Soulvine
By BETTY PLEASANT, Contributing Editor
THIGPENN AND OBAMA — Anthony Thigpenn, the founder and executive director of Strategic Concepts in Organizing and Policy Education (SCOPE), is what Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama was — a community organizer. Anthony Thigpenn is what Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin so publicly derided among her reactionary cohorts — a community organizer. She mocked Obama and belittled his work for having been what Anthony Thigpenn is — a community organizer. Palin’s performance was a civics textbook example of the difference between the Democratic Party, with its penchant for empowering the people to change their lives, and the Republican Party, with its patronizing philosophy toward the people and its insistence on maintaining the status quo.
Back when the Democrats ran Washington and passed the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act, we in Los Angeles had a whole lot of Obamas and Thigpenns operating throughout the region. Pressed by the urgency of the 1965 Watts Riot, the Neighborhood Adult Participation Project (NAPP) was created to implement the new attitude in the nation that individual residents must organize and actively participate in the political and institutional decisions that affect them. NAPP’s mission was to carry out the national mandate to achieve “maximum feasible participation” by residents in those decisions.
NAPP established 22 “outposts” in targeted poverty areas that spanned the Southland from Wilmington to Pacoima and from Venice to Los Nietos. These outposts were manned by hundreds of community organizers who canvassed and cajoled residents into forming groups and attending meetings and forums where they were shown, taught and convinced that, together, they had the power to improve their own lot by making their elected officials respond to their needs — needs as determined by them. NAPP community organizers exhorted residents to assume ownership of themselves.
The goals of NAPP’s community organizers were fourfold: “To provide social and psychological benefits to residents, to provide self-help and mutual aid to residents, to increase and make more effective the delivery of services to residents and to achieve institutional change for the permanent benefit of residents.” I remember NAPP community organizers well because I worked with them and monitored them and evaluated their efforts and wrote about their successes and their failures.
I knew more about what they were doing than they did. They were doing hard, groundbreaking work that resulted in significant changes in Los Angeles, including the founding of Charles R. Drew University of Medicine, the Martin Luther King Jr. General Hospital, the greatly expanded transportation system in the city, parental participation in the schools, more and better stocked neighborhood markets, routine municipal attention to neighborhood streets and housing standards, creation of pocket parks and much more.
Under the leadership of late Executive Director Opal C. Jones, NAPP’s South Los Angeles community organizers, such as the late Abie Robinson and Irene Anderson, and Nola Carter, Hazel Brown, Yvonne King and Lillian Mosley did unprecedented heavy lifting in the neighborhoods for years, as did Mary Henry at the Avalon Carver Community Center, Caffie Green on civic accountability issues in Watts and points south, and the late Marnesba Tackett, who effectively organized residents to desegregate housing throughout the city and throughout the entire public school system. These were community organizers whose passion was to instill power in the people and they did it.
The era of massive community organization ended when Republicans came to power and the emphasis shifted from what the residents needed back to what the politicians wanted, leaving us today with a mere handful of stalwart community organizers, such as Thigpenn and Marqueece Harris-Dawson of Community Coalition and Damien Goodmon, who is organizing community residents around rail safety issues in South L.A.
Councilman Bernard Parks, like Palin, is not a fan of community organizers and he has a mind to evict Thigpenn’s SCOPE from its city-owned building for a variety of specious right-wing reasons. He should not be allowed to do this.
There is So much I agree with right there.
Let me start out by saying I generally vote Democratic; although there are some platforms of Democrats that I do Not agree with; While I almost never agree with Republicans... and it seems so obvious to me, that one party is clearly more 'racist' than the other;

Fear Grips the White Community (Racism)
I was speaking with a white lady yesterday and she said a few things that made me look at this racism issue a slight bit differently. It came to me, that White people are Afraid to challenge the racists in their community.
Kind of like how Black people are Afraid to challenge Gangsters to live better lives, to stop selling drugs, to stop killing one another and endangering others in their communities, White people are also, the victims of Terrorist within. They're known as Skinheads, and the KKK.
New, Nazi's ... right here in America.
Not only do these people despise anyone who's not white, they hate any white person who's not full of hate for non whites, like they are.
Not only that, they harm, injure, and hurt other white people who do not conform to these racist views. So while in my opinion the Biggest Cog that needs to be fixed in the racial problem, is to get white people to stop hating and disliking, disrespecting blacks; White people, (who aren't racist) are quite possibly Too Afraid to do it!
It was a timely conversation, after having listened to David Ike speak on how we have given away our freedom, how we have given away our rights, how we have conformed and allowed Others in our community to Police our behavior, our ideas, and our actions - and I thought, This is It!
This is a great example of exactly what's going on - Racism is silly, stupid, primitive, but ... we have Too many people enforcing it - and THEY Need to be stopped!
... for the sake of us all.
Who's going to have the courage to fight the fights that need to be fought?

David Ike - 1996 - Turning the Tide
2 hours of pure Knowledge - from David Ike, talking with a group of people 12 years ago; I love how simple this guy makes very Complex issues; and I share this as a thinking device to Understand much of what I speak on here at ThaShow - there is far too much brainwashing, too many conditioned people, who are totally Conformed to what 'society' says they should be.
From racism, to finances, legal issues, our views on these subjects, need to be Changed - before it's too late!
Spread the word - and check this video out again @ this link here.
It's long, so keep track of where you are in case you cant sit through all 2 hours; Just make sure you, eventually, no matter how long it takes you, watch ALL of this video! You will thank me later!

Cracks me up
This photo ... is too funny
I remember when I first saw the trailer to this film, and I was immediately cracking up over the idea of Robert Downey Jr., playing a black guy.
lol...
Blackface anyone?
Another thought I had ... was how long before people get up in arms over what is, apparently 2008's version of blackface; It's comedy though, so let's all have a laugh right? Let's not be so uptight about this kinda thing... nevermind that white people have been making fun of blacks for centuries; You black people just need to get used to it, and get over it (my favorite over-used racist phrase ever.)
I mean, it seriously IS funny; I'm not even being sarcastic about that; I still have not seen the movie and probably will ... wait for the dvd ... er... for it to come on cable; Unless I happen to be around someone who's got the DVD... or who knows if I get bored enough to wanna go check out a movie :)
Because it probably is a very Funny Movie; and seriously, the whole idea tickles me... at the same time, I dont know if I want this to catch on; You know... since this movie has gotten good reviews, it means more is to come. (You heard it here first...) That's Hollywood; they're not about Inventing or even Re-Inventing the wheel; They find out what works, and they do it to death.... (Think, Comic Books to Movie, the most recent 'trend')
And really, here is my deal. If the white race, or hollywood, were doing more to improve the lives of Black people in America, doing more to reverse the effects left over from Slavery, and Legalized Oppression and segregation, tactics of abuse that left the Parents unable to properly raise their kids - which produced generations of adults, who had no idea how to parent - which has produced generational issues that are handed down like clothing from one Generation to the Next - to the present day where blacks find themselves still struggling in a country where 'other races' are excelling, and expanding.... Then I would have NO problem with White actors, doing comedy, in blackface - cracking jokes about black people. Hell, if they were Helping out... they would then "earn" the right to crack jokes.
Robert Downey Jr. Caught in a BlackFace Storm
Summary: (from a comment I made on YouTube, to a black man who does not find this offensive, and thinks people should ease up ... and again, I agree it's funny... but ....)
I think it's more so, the historical nature of black face; how it originated as a way of making FUN of black people; Then... eventually the white writers and directors found Black people, to make fun of Black people, and it's been a downhill spiral .... So if anything, while this may be funny, like many of the ManTan type roles played by Black actors today, which also are very funny ... The point is, it's all about "Making Fun of Black People." ... How long is that gonna be funny in America?
I remember when I first saw the trailer to this film, and I was immediately cracking up over the idea of Robert Downey Jr., playing a black guy.
lol...
Blackface anyone?
Another thought I had ... was how long before people get up in arms over what is, apparently 2008's version of blackface; It's comedy though, so let's all have a laugh right? Let's not be so uptight about this kinda thing... nevermind that white people have been making fun of blacks for centuries; You black people just need to get used to it, and get over it (my favorite over-used racist phrase ever.)
I mean, it seriously IS funny; I'm not even being sarcastic about that; I still have not seen the movie and probably will ... wait for the dvd ... er... for it to come on cable; Unless I happen to be around someone who's got the DVD... or who knows if I get bored enough to wanna go check out a movie :)
Because it probably is a very Funny Movie; and seriously, the whole idea tickles me... at the same time, I dont know if I want this to catch on; You know... since this movie has gotten good reviews, it means more is to come. (You heard it here first...) That's Hollywood; they're not about Inventing or even Re-Inventing the wheel; They find out what works, and they do it to death.... (Think, Comic Books to Movie, the most recent 'trend')
And really, here is my deal. If the white race, or hollywood, were doing more to improve the lives of Black people in America, doing more to reverse the effects left over from Slavery, and Legalized Oppression and segregation, tactics of abuse that left the Parents unable to properly raise their kids - which produced generations of adults, who had no idea how to parent - which has produced generational issues that are handed down like clothing from one Generation to the Next - to the present day where blacks find themselves still struggling in a country where 'other races' are excelling, and expanding.... Then I would have NO problem with White actors, doing comedy, in blackface - cracking jokes about black people. Hell, if they were Helping out... they would then "earn" the right to crack jokes.

Handbook of Pricing and Ethical Guidelines
I'm a web designer and often people come to me who have no idea how much a website costs. Often, when I tell them my prices I am met with gasps... and sounds of disappointment; It would seem that most people expect to get a website for Less than $500 - not that it's their fault - sometimes even us Web Designers don't know what we 'should' charge for the work that we do.
Enter in, The Handbook of Pricing and Ethical Guidelines, published by the Graphic Arts Guild; Pick up a copy of it here - if you're a business owner who wants their own website, pick it up and find out just how much your idea 'should' cost you - and this will equip you with the Right information to ensure you don't get screwed.
If you're a web designer or graphic artist; you too can arm yourself with information to ensure your Customers don't try to screw you - and also, to make sure you're not Screwing your customers!
The key, to making sure that you dont get a fast one pulled on you, in anything, is education; make sure you always arm your self with what you need to know, before you make decisions about things you plan to do - and it'll benefit you in so many ways throughout your life.
Pick up the book right here in our Amazon Store - thanks for your attention on this topic;
