In life we all hold onto hope. So people pray hoping for a better life where you end up waiting your whole life to die. I see people pray before they eat. What the fuck you praying for? You most likely had to pay for that food. Don't thank God for giving you that food. If you did not have that money you would be hungry. The thing is talking is cheap. It takes action to bring change, and sitting on your ass, or knees, praying will get you nowhere. Struggles occur in life, but this is how people learn and adapt. You have the power; there is no God to give you power. I do not see God, but I experience Jihad(which means struggle for all you terrorist fearing people). Christianity is the dictator of all religions. The ones who are considered minorities are noted as crazy or wrong. When I do something it is because I chose to do it. Some things occur by accident, but it is not a sin. Sin is meant to create guilt to submit yourself over to some God to control you. The same people who oppose dictatorship cling to God as if he is Jim Jones.
Religion is not a science, it is a guide to life, and it is a way for people to find comfort. I find no comfort in religion and it makes me feel scared. This is a dictator-like aspect. Of course all these Christians will deem me as wrong when they are saluting themselves to God when they pray much like the Hitler youth. The thing with religion is when people shove it down your throats, and it has become a majority in many peoples beliefs. If you are religious then so be it, but why do you want me to be "saved?" If anything I have to be saved from many of you religious nut freaks. I have no clue what will happen to me when I die, but I know I will probably be buried and some day be turned into carbon. Could this be evidence for reincarnation if I am recycled into life?
Life is a question, and that statement alone is the answer to life. People have various interpretations, even people of the same religion. This shows that people view, for example, the Bible differently. If I was in Sudan trying to survive you think I should thank God for being alive? To hell with God, why am I in this position? Christians will love you..... as long as you become Christian. Some will tell you your destiny before you die if you do not believe. It is almost not a belief to not believe in God, rather it is almost a known thing. How disgusting of a person do you have to be to tell someone they will go to hell if you do not follow what they say?
Right now I got more important things to do than follow a fantasy. I am being a realist towards this subject of religion. I'm trying to get good grades, and not be blind towards science. You can accept science and be religious, the thing is some act like evolution is a witch up in Massachusetts. Lets burn evolution! Man some of you acreep me out. This is who is fucking up America right now. You evolve physically and mentally, and if you cannot believe that then get down on your knees and pray to me.
You make life, he doesn't.

Jim Crow Still Alive in Jena, Louisiana; Sign the Petitio
In Jena, Louisiana racism is still in effect and it is described as a segregated town. At Jena High School white people and black people sit separate from each other. There is a tree there called the "white" tree where only white kids sat under.
"One day, Black student asked permission from a school official to sit under the "White tree," and the official told them to sit wherever they wanted, so the Black student did. The following day, three nooses were seen hanging from the "White tree," which upset the Black students who make up only 20 percent of the school’s population."
This was the start of racial tension. To have the heads of school accept the notion that a black student had to ask if he could sit under that tree was evident that something must be done. This incident shows that Jim Crow is still jumping around in the South.

One day, Black student asked permission from a school official to sit under the “White tree,” and the official told them to sit wherever they wanted, so the Black student did. The following day, three nooses were seen hanging from the “White tree,” which upset the Black students who make up only 20 percent of the school’s population.
This was the start of racial tension. To have the heads of school accept the notion that a black student had to ask if he could sit under that tree was evident that something must be done. This incident shows that Jim Crow is still jumping around in the South.
So what happened with the three white students who were responsible for hanging nooses on the "white" tree?
"The school principal found the three White students responsible and advised that they were to be expelled from school permanently. The White superintendent of LaSalle Parish schools, Roy Breithaupt, overturned the principal’s decision and instead gave the White students a three-day suspension. In statements made to the media, Superintendent Breithaupt said "Adolescents play pranks. I don’t think it was a threat against anybody."
Ha ha ha! Aren't kids so funny? Mr. Breithaupt just laughs this off thinking that this is just a little prank. I am sure people consider lynching a laughable matter as well. To say it is not a threat is simply saying that hanging the nooses was okay. At my school someone woul've been in more trouble for throwing toilet paper around.
"According to the parents of the Jena 6 and a testimony given in Bell’s trial, White District Attorney Reed Walters then visited Jena High School to address a school assembly, making remarks directed at the Black students that if they didn’t stop making a fuss about this "innocent prank," he could take their lives away with the stroke of his pen. As a result of a fire that burned down the main building where classes are held at Jena High School on November 30, 2006, Whites in the community started to blame the Blacks students of the school as the cause of the fire."
Now we have the District Attorney making threats. This is how things operate down there. If you are black then you are on your own and anything that happens you will be blamed for it. A hundred years ago a black person would be put to death for the littlest thing if racism was this severe. When there is a super majority white town that has a situation that involves a black person, then the black person will most likely be blamed.
"On the night of December 1, 2006, Robert Bailey and his friends went to a party at Jena Fair Barn. Once inside the party, Robert was approached by a White male named Justin Sloan, who asked him "Is your name Robert Bailey?"
"When Robert said yes, Sloan, along with his sister Jessie, began to hit Robert, and from there, he was also attacked by several other White men before his own friends came to assist him in the brawl."
And that is not it.
"The next day, on December 2, Robert and two of his friends were at the local Gotta-Go convenience store. They spotted Matt Windham, one of White males who attacked Robert the previous night. An altercation started and Windham ran to his truck and pulled out a sawed-off shot gun, which Robert was able to wrestle away from him. The fight ensued and eventually all involved left the scene running."
So we have a black man who has been beat up and almost killed. You would think that charges would be pressed on this Matt and Justin, and anyone else involved.
"Two days later, on December 4 at Jena High School, a White male student by the name of Justin Barker had been allegedly making racial taunts at the Blacks, which included calling them "n——-s" and expressing support for the noose hanging, as well as the attack made on Robert Bailey at Fair Barn. Right outside the school auditorium, Barker was suddenly knocked down, punched, beaten and kicked by Black students."
This is what happens when racial tension reaches its height. It creates a warfare between black people and white people. You have young adults at it with each other who have not matured and still have to learn in life. Well I'm sure that this will just go away like the other fight.
"Moments later, after several statements were collected, six Black males were taken out of their classes, arrested and charged."
"Many of the Jena 6 remained in jail for several months due to the high bails set between $70,000-$140,000 on them."
"All are talented athletes with what their families called "bright futures."
Okay so we have a black man get beat up and almost killed. You have the black community who has been threatened by nooses and the district attorney. Three white students get a three day suspension for hanging nooses, and nothing happens when a white person beats up and tries to kill a black person. When black students attack a white person, then they file charges and arrest them. This is racism and it has not gotten attention from the mainstream news at all. Imus says derogatory comments on his show and get s attention because he was famous, but when something worse happens in America the mainstream news refuses to report it.
"Bell’s family was unable to bail him out and his father believed that is the reason his son’s case went to trial so quickly. A Black court-appointed attorney, Blaine Williams, represented Bell, pressuring him to plead guilty, but Bell refused. His attorney then gathered a list of proposed witnessed which included his father and mother, Michelle Bell. The judge put a gag order on all witnesses in the case and refused to allow his parents to be present in the court during the trial because they were potential witnesses although the victim, who was a witness, was allowed to stay inside the entire time."
"When Bell’s father asked the defense lawyer to appeal the gag order so they can be inside the courtroom with their son, the lawyer replied "The best thing for you to do is to get the hell out of my face’...At that point I smelled a rat and I knew my son was being set up," stated Jones to The Final Call."
"He also shared that the jury was all White, and that members of the jury were friends with the District Attorney as well as family members with the victim. The prosecution brought forth 17 witnesses of whom many stated that they did not see Bell hit Barker. The victim himself even testified that he did not know if Bell hit him or not."
"Now we have a probable cause that Bell may not have been part of this situation and the white man who was hit could not recall if Bell was involved or not. I believe it should be illegal to have an all white jury if it is a black person on trial. This was a losing battle for Bell from the beginning and the other 5 men will probably be convicted as well. Bell was convicted and now faces his sentence. He faces 22 years in prison."

Republican Iowa Straw Poll is Pure Entertainment
Yes, the great cornfields of Iowa; this is where republicans, with the exception of Giuliani, McCain, and Fred Thompson, will compete this weekend for the vote by Iowan republicans. You have Mitt Romney making drinks for people, and the other look alike republicans eating meat and shaking the only hands they can get. A separate poll released recently in Iowa has Don't Know defeating all republicans with McCain losing to Barack Obama. That's right more republicans in Iowa will vote for Obama over McCain. What you could see this weekend are a couple candidates dropping out of the race if they poll very low and a lack of money. Mitt Romney is the suspected winner, but why should this matter? You have majority of people in this country opposed to the Iraq War and none have an efficient health care plan other than to attack the Jihadists. This is simply pathetic and it is the reason why republicans lost single handedly in the 2006 elections.
Duncan Hunter, Mike Huckabee, Tom Tancredo, may I go on? Who are these people? The republican debates are so boring I am surprised they have not argued which meat tastes better. What the Iowa straw poll will ensure for us this weekend will be entertainment. If Romney wins it, then you will see him with people shaking hands and see him celebrate his little, toast if you'd like to call it, victory that will just make him in better position to win Iowa caucus. With republicans it could matter though since they love to follow the man, or shall I say white man, who wins the first state. Given that republican voters cannot decide may make this straw poll more significant for them. After all when it comes to November 2008, then any vote will matter much to them. Meanwhile lets sit back, relax, have some BBQ, and cotton candy as we see all them fight their own worthless battle in the cornfields of Iowa.

Who Are You?
As a white male I recognize the importance it is to have an identity as a human being. Malcolm X is a man I highly admire, and he discussed how black people were forced over here from Africa. He acknowledged that black people in America were Africans trapped in America who were never given rights as a human being. In this video he questions who are you? He says that black peoples last names are not Jones or Smith because that was their slavemaster's last name. He brings to light the struggles that black people had to endure to the point that they do not know where they came from. I believe that the more we understand each other then the more open society can be about things that people are uncomfortable to discuss. People become uncomfortable to talk about race, politics, or any personal matters with people they do not know well. If we can understand different cultures, environments, and the mind of each person then I believe we can realize our identity as human beings.
Many white people do not even know the name Malcolm X. This is just one of many barriers that separates people. Many white people do not seek to understand a non-white culture; they feel too comfortable with their own people. Sadly, my recognition towards the struggles and knowledge of the black community is higher than most white people. This is why I advocate for affirmative action because we need a balanced field in the workplace and in society. People do not know enough about each other and we must be more diverse. The reason affirmative action must be implemented is to help fight racism and not leave people behind. We do not have an equal society and until we reach that point then we need to have things such as affirmative action.
I want to raise the bar for white people to acknowledge the non-white communities. Being around people you hang with everyday will not expand the dimension of your mind to understand people. It is important for the U.S. to not be colorblind because it means that they are blind towards people of color. Small towns and cities are on the opposite sides of life that creates a miscommunication amongst each other. When you are around more people then you get a larger impression about society in which you live. I ask to understand people from all walks of life where you understand the thought in rural and city America. We must identify each other as human beings in a society that will work for all of us regardless where we come from and to help heal any negativity which may exist between one another.
