"Wake Up" 

Wake Up...Wake Up; They're enjoying the fruits of our labor and we are still starving, our schools look like shit, they robbed us of our history and only teach us about George Washington Carver. 

We come from Kings and Queens, that's why we enjoy flashy things, that don't mean spend all your money on clothes, Jordan's and flashy rings. 

Willie Lynch, yeah he turned us against one another; yo daddy stupid, yo mama fat, fuck yo ugly sister and yo brother. 
Here we are shooting each other dead, they then rob us of our organs, sell them for millions to those lying on their death bed. 

They arrange our death, so they can live forever, they plan shit like a terrible car accident that quickly send us to heaven. Young sisters being picked up on their way home from school, young brothers hit in a drive-by near the neighborhood pool. 

Racist white cops killing unarmed black teens, crime scene investigators re-constructing crime scenes. CNN, Fox 8 and even the Plain Dealer, lie to save the White Men, the Black Community Killers. 

Wall Street is where they originally sold us, something that the history books never told us. We were the First Stock Sold, in schools our real history will never be told. 400 years of slavery, look how White America is living, Big Banks, we extend our hand for a loan, $0 is given. 

When we stepped off ship families were separated and thrown in cages, today men are taken from their home and thrown in cages. At the end of the sale, we were branded and paddled, thinking about joining a Greek organization? Prepare to be branded and paddled. Branded for ownership, beaten for not using your new American name, some Greeks are insane, yeah they are out of their mind. 50 swats for not remembering your lines. Education was a crime. You could have been killed for learning, now we got school, hate school, skip school, and it affect our earnings.

First Generation College Graduates and The Entry Level Job Market

Image
Many of us have applied to many job positions using our High School Diploma and GED. We have found out that the job market was very difficult to get in with just a High School Diploma and GED. Many employers have skipped over our resumes and letters of interest after seeing that our highest level of education is High School and having no job related experiences. So we ask our parents, teachers, employers and various other individuals, what we have to do in order to secure the interested positions in the future? They tell us to further our education, “Go to college and get a degree”. We then say, “we can’t afford college, we don’t have any money”. Then they say, “Financial Aid, you can take out loans to cover your cost and you can pay them back after you graduate college.”   Now we believe a college degree is the way to securing a job position and a way to get out of poverty. “If I graduate from college, I can get the job I want and live comfortably… “If I gradua...

CAMILIA TERRY

          After doing my research on Camilia Terry, I came up with an opinion of my own. First thing, for those of you who say you would have beaten her behind and what not, you would have been in jail as well. I understand you all have hurt inside, but murder is the same sin as beating her up, lying and stealing. Negativity gets you nowhere in life. Do your research before judging someone. I’m sure many of you with these negative feedback's are young minded, uneducated, and have no connection with Jesus Christ.           Yes, it’s wrong to take someone else’s life, but picture yourself growing up in a foster home and the reason you were there in the first place is because your parents were dysfunctional and you were physically, mentally, sexually and emotional abused. Picture yourself as a single14year old mother in foster care. You think you found love and you didn’t because you don...
