Are you awake ... "Yet" !!!

Instead of people gloating over who's black and who's not on his appointments, why not go home, and turn the silly shows off your TV, of the stereotypical image pushing of black people in clothes 3 sizes too big, and buffoon costumes on.

when the rating drop on these crap show, then maybe people will make better shows, someone tell our lead entertainers, to stop getting on shows of national television, looking like they just stepped out of their back yard, and decided to show up on the set. this delusion, of pushing an image that they got it made is the negative stuff that crashes a society.

so what some of our entertainers make 20 million dollars, truth is they can't stand in the arena with the people who have 100-200 million and more.. but ask yourself.. why have none of these same people created companies that engage more people. how many have factories that hire people, but then ask yourself how many have product endorsement deal, that cost your family a lot of money, but the products are made over-seas.. and still the only glory people get is the delusion of wearing the name tag..

southern States offer tax incentives to film industry, to build here, but how many black entertainers have collectively gotten together and see the vision, to come and buy land and build a Studio.?
how many have considered to build a stuido, and create black and white and other mixed people shows, which show something other than stereo typed image, or comedy skits..
have we not done enough of the "buck and shuffle"... do we have to come on as comedic characters to get a spot.. and then when we get the spot, if we don't keep of the comedic imagery and look type casted in a fixed image, then the show is canceled and the next one in line that will play the part gets 12 1/2 minutes..

you tell me, what's the point of an some buying a 4-15 million dollar home in the dried up and burned out California hills, when they could build a studio for that money in the South, and buy enough land to build a home too.

As yourself, how many of your kids wear faddish baggy stuff, and you call it hip, when the whole image gets them rejected from a distance. How many of you, for Christmas has it in your mind to keep buying your kids the next latest cell phone, when its now nothing more than a gadget that makes the phone company rich for people to walk around with it glued to their ear and can't think or pay attention, or waling around with a bluetooth device on their ear, in the middle of a grocery store.. it's pure insidious conduct..

If you want to support Obama, then addresses some of these things, if you want to support Obama and his agenda, let go of the buffoon costumes and the delusion chasing status imagery, and find out what is substance, and promote something that promotes helping schools learn they have to change the way they teach, and move into the 21st century... How many of your kids go to schools where the only computer is in the admin office or the library..but never in the classroom.. how many of your kids, who can't format a document of MS word, but they have a cell phone capable of handling word documents.. but they are so busy learning to send slang text meassage.. they can't think in full sentances,. what's the point of a text message, when the same device can conduct a voice call? "Fad simplicity", people think it's chic and all it is, is the twist of tech being used to make clowns of people.. who can't see the benefit of technology for trying to make it their badge of glory to have a gadget.. Half the people with blackberries, can't even send a decent message or response.. and send stuff that could be sent on a $15 phone.. or one of the free give away phone when you sign up..

Black people and other people, rushing to the convenice store to buy $25 of minutes for a phone, so they can talk crap and argue with each other for 30 minutes.. and then look sad when the minutes run out. People walking around with a $300 phone unit, but can't pay $450 rent ...and they can't go online and buy a refurbished computer for $186.00 that includes a monitor.. it's pure sad... and that's the extent of the level of "buffoon classics",... that has people unaware of how to build self worth in the integrity of self, but trying to build it by being known for having the latest gadget, or a car they made unstable by putting wheels that should be on a high body work truck, and they never know, they've destroyed the stability of the car.. for the sake of image.,

Young kids, can't save for a vacation to see something different, because all their money goes to see who's stereo can blast the loudest.. and to have a bank account is not even thought of..and these are the kids popping out babies they teach this silliness to, and then they want to dress the baby in name tag stuff that makes the baby look like a advertisement billboard.. and not one pennies from those companies goes to help that baby grow up and get an education.

people come on these blogs, with their "one line, let's be clever comments, beyond that, their next thought is.. "oh, that's too deep for me" , or "oh that's getting too involved, or the classic Bs... of saying " Oh, you get too serious"..

well if you don't see the seriousness of what matters, you probably won't do a damn thing, to support anything that Obama stand for... so don't ride his back with your self elating delusion.. ride with him, by making some changes in your choices... and you may see the choices, support "Change"

The World Embraces "Changes" that's how we grow as a people

The world embraces the change.. it's high hope and great aspirations in the mindset of people.. which is not a bad thing, because people being inspired about the leadership, is what helps people develop and pursue a positive mentality about what they each do themselves. We've had not just the air of mistrust for the past 8years, but the air was compressing in it's containment of peoples spirit.

It's about people now, seeing there is another way, and there are ways to get things done without a lot of drama making, but plan following and holding on to the ideal and pursuing it as a mission that must be engaged with determined focus, without the fanfare of hoopla.

Life is an interesting thing, but when it comes to ethnicity, people have many mis construed views about black people, many people not only black want acknowledgment as individual, and after centuries of dejection, many young blacks wear the flashiest and boldest of logos, colors and other things, trying to stand out to be noticed, as well as many white now with tattoos and piercings, which there was a time, this was looked at as being tribal.. but the manner and mode of such, brings them negative notice, rather than positive recognition.. and the cycle of madness carries forth. but of substance is what matter, people forget so much, but as black people not in just America but globally, and even people of darker skin of the homogeneous nations, are fighting a challenge of subliminal imposition of summation, but if we look at history it tells its own truth, it took a lot of depth to hold back the tempers over the ages, and determined work, to work through the principal for honest equality - to pursue equality; which has been good not just for blacks but for whites as well, except those who want to hold on to the superior mentality concept of self delusion.. so in that context, maybe Obama did not live within the civil rights marches of the era of the 60's, but his mother and father fought their own equality battles, just to be a couple, and they faced their achievement challenges because of their choices of mate selection.. there is much untold about many things, but it forges character, and the wise efforts not only of his mother but his mothers family, to stand firm on equality to give him the feeling of acceptance and teach him young the dire need in this life to accept others.. it's a truly humbling realization for each human being to aspire to attain.

but just like the marches of the 60's which opened the door not just for blacks but people from all places to have voice, and even be acknowledged in and of their person as being of presence.. again now, with the win of Obama, people are again inspired to feel they too have the opportunity to be engaging of their desires.

There are many many things which are first by many blacks that are never talked about and never mentioned, and they were triumphs in a world that was designed and promoted oppressive demeanor upon and toward people of a darker color of skin.. it was a black man in the 1980's who did the first multi billion dollar buy out, of corporate consolidating, with the "Beatrice Brand", and before he died he balanced the book.. but before him, never had a 25 billion dollar deal been done, nor attempted in such a manner, nor with such a solidity of purpose and function.
It was a black man who perfected the key element which makes it possible for us to be on this computer.. by his work with the Hard drive, but I'd think a great thing which can show many people many things, is watch the movie, and or read the story about..

Vivien Theodore Thomas (August 29, 1910 – November 26, 1985) was an African-American surgical technician and operative surgeon who helped develop the procedures used to treat blue baby syndrome in the 1940s. He was an assistant to Alfred Blalock at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee and later at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Without any education past high school, Thomas rose above poverty and racism to become a cardiac surgery pioneer and a teacher to many of the country's most prominent surgeons.

also, Daniel Hale Williams (1858-1931) was a pioneer in open heart surgery.
but the story and list of many things omitted from the front line teaching, which was from a system, determined not to show positive role models nor to depict them in broad spectrum media and other means..

In this age with Obama, not only can his achievement to date ,not be hidden in the back of books as, one line mentions in history book, nor can it be purely omitted all together, it's a step in the world, which unfold and shows that much of what is hidden, is now in a frame that cannot be hidden, and the world acknowledge it and the world embraces it, for it too frees much of the many people globally, to not feel their works, their labors and their contribution will be buried for the sake of a system of omission.. If Obama does nothing else in his term, he has made a mark on history, that has opened a different page in an old book. and he broke every record in the program, in his efforts of doing so..
it was more white's who voted and supported him than blacks, because blacks make up less than 15% of this country.. so his win, signals that the minds of a great many have opened and do not aspire to cling to the past nor of what some of their elders hold die hard oppositions.. But as a Man told me a week ago, he was 66 years old, a white male at the office building, he sad, people may not pay attention to what whites did during his era, but it was his era, that said.. "no more".. they help set the tone and they stood up, and made choices and steps which lead to moee choices, which also, was progressive in the help to stamp out bigotry, and racism, and bias.. it was done to a great degree, but still there are many who can't see beyond themselves.. but the people of the era, they transitioned it to it's peak during the hippie movenment of the 60's which talked about and explored the realism of love, and they found.. love to be color blind.. it was and is mostly the rural areas and the elite areas which cling more strongly to the unspoken racism and bias, but they are coming to know and see, they can no longer find right in their reasons of doing so. There are some sad things still existing in our society, which was very prominently seen by the world, during this campaign, with the bigotry that showed up in the various regions of this country, and many areas, the people did not think for themselves, they repeated what they thought was the buzz of their community, and kept quite about their real thoughts .. and even now there are places and neighborhoods, that will never tell each other they voted for Obama.. it's a time of change, that is sorely needed..
even in battle, it took the fox holes of Vietnam, to awaken some to the fact that life is life, when they had to cover each other back side for survival.. and they came home, better friends, than they'd ever have imagined. In the South, it was 1971 before they fully integrated the schools here, I was in the 11th grade, the first years was its own trip, but by the time, I graduated.. it was beginning to find some unity of function.. I've never submitted to anyone being better than I am, nor do I think I'm better than anyone. and I've always found ways to have good harmony with the people I meet.

Watch what comes forth, the next year will bring many Asian to stand up, and be seen and be heard, it will bring many of the Latin people also, and as well, there are major things transforming in Africa that people are not paying attention to, black people have lead the charge in many things which has gone diminished in the awareness of being globally exposed, but now.. in nations where the dark skin people of places like China, and other Asian nation, will find their voice, and there will be change in those places as well.

I noted in Thailand, most of the office and bank jobs were held by the very light skinned Thai's, and the darker skinned Thaia were relegated to lower level jobs, but they are determined workers and they learn from the core of matters, and they will find their equality as well.

It's not so much about Obama, as it is about what the symbolism of change is, and Change is just what it means.. "change" and there is no bounds to what it will engage nor what it will transform.. and in doing so.. the world will be a globally better place because of it.

People deny reality, but there are many many whites in this country even though they don't outnumber the whites who support change, but of the numbers that resent the fact of seeing a black man in any position, are very anguished.. it will take time before they change and find their points of accord, and some may never do so. At the office, there are some people who have a very tight natured mindset since the election, some don't even speak and do things, to avoid even the chance to speak.. but it's only a matter of time before they come to see, they mostly only inhibit their own lives and hold on to a negativity that is more a detriment to them, than to the masses of this nation.

but what is real and true is there are many, who have not biased mindset about interacting, I have a young white woman who works for me, a few days a week, and she is very congenial and very much supports my goals as much as I support hers..
today she was refunded her money from a show, because the mangers of it did not like her working and promoting my events, I placed a called to the person who did this, and I also posted on my web site, a comment, which denotes, that we as people must work together, or we diminish our own progress as a society and a community and a city.

for me it's nothing new, I for over 20 years challenged the bias, but I did it based on principal, and the integrity of point fact and principle. I've been parts of groups where I was the only black, and they were not at all at ease with me being vocal, but that changed ... instead of people just dealing with me as a man, they wanted to tell me silly stuff like.. "you are not like other blacks"... and my response is, "how are "other" blacks" ... suddenly they recognized their biased concept, without me having to further address it ..

when I first started to write on this site, people resented a black person who expressed thought.. there were more attacks than anyone can imagine.. and every label that was imaginable was tried to be hung upon me.. as if the need to put me in some box of caption was the only way to deal with me as a person... rather than to deal with me as simply an individual..

life is made up of little steps, but big progress.,...we have to have the patience to know it always unfolds in such ways... then we can move with a sense of peace, un-rushed... and that is much of Obama's situation he moves with an un-rushed mindset...

Seeing life and the changes within the world

I respect that he stayed on point and platform of his message through the whole of the campaign, and of the runners, his team seemed to manage very well for the duration, and they broke ever record in candidacy history, from drawing crowds, both in the US and abroad, it was amazing to see 200k people come out in Germany to see him, and he averaged 15-20k people for the span of the process. I think he helped establish a sense of dignity in process, and composure. and showed grace and gratitude in how he handled the media spins.

what I really like is his sense of diplomacy about other world leaders, and the will to engage them in dialog. He is not about fighting but finding ways to work together..

I think it was great that his background had him growing up in a very diverse mixture of people, he saw the poor in foreign lands, and the poor in this land, and the depth of the chicago ghetto is a great teacher of the tragedy this nations spills on it's poor, and to have foregone the wealth of corporate chase, to work there, showed a great depth of integrity about the human life, and care about the human condition.
He did not go back and get any of the past civil right leaders, to push his campaign, he said early on, what they did in the time they did it was great not just for America but for the world, it changed the concept of "equality within the law books"... now it's our time in the history of life to change the concept of "equality in the interactions with each other, as a global people"... and eradicate the concept of "first entitlment to any"... and give "equaly entitlement to all".

He still has to deal with the congress, and that in and of itself is it's own challenges, but he is choosing a cabinet of people, who can stand on their own, for the task they are given, he does not have to hold their hand, or play tip toe around the bush with them.. they can take directive and get it done, because each of them are powerful as individuals in their own right.

His election of Biden for VP, was a true stroke of paying attention and choosing carefully to get a full rounded person, who has voice and substance to back up what he has to say.

Hillary for Sec of State is a good choice, because she has stomped the grounds along with him for nearly 2 yrs, and they both know the agenda is to find a way for peace to prevail and working with nations is the way for all to prosper.

we don't need any more "cowboy gunslinger politics"... the world is a world of "information" and informations means there must be diplomacy to be the conduit for information to make it's revolutions of circular balance..

Queen Noor, of Jordan, made a very good speaking comment, when she said the world was looking to America and hoped that it would choose someone who does not think military first, and diplomacy last.. and she spoke of how many nations want for this nation to again regain its dignity and it's stature, and have a composure of good will and the will to work with others.
We don't need any more of the strangle hold like Bush put on people to back his war, by the threat of sanctions if they did not ride the horse with him, nor do we need, any more thinking that we can stomp in and out of places without regard for their leaders having the respect they deserve. Cuba began over a year ago, making reform and relaxing its policies in hope for a President that is willing to talk and work with them, they reduced the size of their committees to insure that people have more freedoms, and I'd say.. within the next two years, there will be a new agreement with Cuba.

Bush left one hell of a mess in every category that a mess could be made, and it's going to take a lot to clean it up.. and some very tough calls, and hard choices.. and hopefully some very stern and pervasive "REGULATIONS" placed upon many industries. No more of the CEO rip off and the Executive greeds and waste and squander and bleeding the public.. and I think with the cabinet that he is choosing they know how to go in and carve out the greed masters and put them in check.. ( some of them need to be put in jail).. Cheney should be prosecuted for the wild madness he let Haliburton get away with, and how "blackwater" became it's own terrorist faction while claiming to fight terror.. But as Obama said, Guantanamo will be closed.. the Far right wing, will have to open their minds and embrace the world of people, and not just their closed minded groups mentality.. where they in many ways push conservative, as if it implies holding on to yesterday.. the world is a place that functions based of liberal mindset.. otherwise it .. would be function as a secular faction of bigots.. and by god , the world has sure seen enough bigotry to last an eternity..

Obama is not going to be given a magic wand, nor does he expect to have one.. he came to work... and understands that it is and will be work to be done...and he's willing to take on the task.. no one can expect more... than the work to be done with regard for the people, and to prosper the people, not just of this nation, but to set a tone that reverberates globally... that people matter... not corporations more than people.. and there is now cowboy, with a six shooter, because the days of the wild wild west, actually ended 2 centuries ago.. but the remnants just lingered far too long..

so it's simply a matter that we all must get busy.. but not expect a microwave quick solution to anything..
