Separate but equal?

The word separatism said and define alone is a harsh word that most can not conceive as ever being a good thing. History on the other hand has proved otherwise and even current practices of separatism today have proved beneficial to it's participants. The Jewish populous have utilized modified versions of separatism, one to include simply not allowing the majority of their money to not leave their community. While traveling though different boroughs of New York that are mostly populated by Jews, the difference between the Black neighborhoods and the Jewish neighborhoods is instantaneously felt. Jewish schools for example have practiced separatism for a number of years in the name of religion and subtly passing on an elitist view in the processes. When a child is born into a community where he is immediately segregated from the majority of the world, taught by his own, feed by his own, spiritually and religiously schooled by his own, the child cannot help but to take on an elitist view of his/herself. Although the elitist's view is usually not the majority's view and may breed resentment from outside entities, it still is a small price to pay when securing one's community, ideals, philosophy, identity and most importantly their wealth. Asian-Americans also practice separatism thriving financial from it and do so with in mostly non-Asian cities. Whether you are in the suburbs of a major metropolitan city or in the disenfranchised neighborhoods of the inner city, you manage to see Asian ran establishments through out. Blacks have yet to grasp this concept of separatism and continue to identify it with the ideals of the implanted Black leaders of the so called Civil Rights Movement. Blacks continue to out source their hard earn money to outside entities while their own communities crumble with poverty, crime, and financial immobility. Being flashy and in style has taken prescience over a since of community and independence within the Black community for years. Blacks cannot wait to waste their wealth and do so allot of times with the ones who do practice separatism. It has become painfully evident that American Blacks are the only ones buying into the idea of a integral society, hence the reason we have no collective wealth and will never have collective wealth as long as we believe the hype!!

Masculinity Deferred?

While I was parading through the mall the other day shopping for new clothing in support of my, "Dressing Growner", initiative I noticed a pattern. A pattern amongst the male store clerks consisting of short shirts, tight jeans, huge belt buckles and hair so full of moose and spritz you could place a flammable placard on it. Attitude was amongst the traits of these individuals donning this attire and a sort of Ryan Secreast vibe that was quite unnerving. I'm pretty sure these trendy individuals statistically would fall under the,"Metro sexual", stigma. Is The day of the plaid wearing, lumberjack manly man long gone, or on it's way out? Is this what women want? It seems to me that masculinity has been put aside for a variation of femininity and eccentrics. Hollywood has allot to do with this transitional period that I have dubbed the,
"Pink Era",. Help me understand. TheAnalyticalCynic

Hip Hop Not

Hip Hop Not

Maybe it's my ascending age or the orneriest that is coupled with each passing year of my life but lately I'm becoming increasingly more disgusted with "Hip Hop." Nothing is more disturbing then to be subjected to a plethora of radio stations, all playing the same dopy songs with the same recycled lyrics flipped and flopped(remixed) in yet another direction as the one previously. The cookie cutter, pointless, record executive influenced album usually entails misogynistic, violent, arrogant and downright stupid lyrics that do more harm then good. Very few are blessed with this opportunity to create a quality musical product and fewer succeed. I support the freedom of speech and artistic expression as much as the next music lover but this is getting out of hand. What is most baffling to me is that most rappers chose to use their allotted fifteen minutes of fame time, to speak on unimportant issues such as over priced jewelry, foreign cars, an abundance of women and of course the latest dance steps. These rappers are greatly influencing are youth with exaggerated fallacies of a lifestyle they claim to live allegedly on a daily basis. They execute no responsibility when spouting out this foolishness, then have the audacity to charge way too much for this rhetoric. Of course I can turn the radio off and go about my day, I usually do. But when the offspring start to emulate what they think reality is because of these misinformed entertainers, I have a problem. I want rappers to start calling their mothers' and daughters' "bitches," or maybe have a neighborhood drug dealer sell narcotics to their brothers' or sisters'. Hip Hop at one point in history was a forum to uplift and instill self-pride in one's community. Now, it's a marketing tool use to parasitically deprive black communities of their money and a subtle attempt to pacify for the sake of monetary gain thus continuing a cycle of inferiority within urban areas. Real Hip Hop is dead unfortunately and it's not coming back folks. I suggest you steal music from the internet. The AnalyticalCynic

Questionable Authenticity

Questionable Authenticity:

Today we celebrate the life and times of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose ideology and philosophy resinate still in hearts and minds of many people even to this day. It comes as no surprise that America's politically correct, aligned themselves with Dr. King's message seeing how it was pretty much a safe one and offered no real feasability to its implementation. It also, quite dramatically contrasted the more extreme alternative suggested by the Hon. Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam of, "Separate but Equal". Growing up was I taught about Dr. King and the trials and tribulations of the civil rights movement and began to gain a profound respect for him and his crusade. But as years passed and I began to do more research, I adopted my own philosophy, thus questioning Dr. King's methods. In my meaninglessly humble opinion, I felt Dr. King served as an implant to the black community more so hindering them in the long run, forever remaining passive. Dr King's message was a fallacy. His teachings taught compliancy and a sense of agreeableness to the masses thus destroying any and all independence blacks had as a whole. To further pull the wool over the eyes of a desperately change seeking race, white liberals accompanied King in his campaign of conformity. Together with King, white liberals manage to convince blacks that their intentions were truly sincere, when in fact it was nothing but a clandestine way to assimilate disenfranchise blacks to that of the majority, compromising any and all self-identity. I realize this opinion is most likely an isolated one and I accept any and all opposition that may come. Thank you.
