Lupe Fiasco Doesn’t Vote|99Problems.org

War is real, regardless if you’re participating in it or you’re watching from a tv. There is a war going on overseas as well as in our backyards in Milwaukee. It’s no secret that people have a lot of power as you have seen the uprising in Egypt. If you’re an artist, you possibly have even more power because the mic can take you everywhere when your feet can’t. If you’re not voting but you have all this power Lupe, what are you doing to make the overall difference? I know you have an album coming out and most people say things to get attention around that time. If you happen to get attention off this statement, then what? WORDS LUPE DID SAY VIDEO!!!!

Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter still fighting long after boxing days pass

“He once boxed to make a living — because, he said, blacks in the 1940s and ’50s had few options outside being a criminal or entertainer — but he fights today because innocent people in prison rarely have anyone in their corner. After enduring a portion of his prison bid and being instrumental in an oscar performance by Denzel Washington, Rubin Carter examines himself as he stares in the “Eye of the Hurricane” in his new book. CNN takes us back and then prepares us for the release of his latest production.

Did I Miss Something?

What? Did she really just have a stroke on air? If so, she deserves all the sympathy in the world. I guess my instinct is to think she looks rather young to have had such a major neurological malfunction. Not that I don’t agree that what she displayed could fit the description of a stroke, it’s just that it’s the freaking news for crying out loud. They specialize in the fabrication and falsification of actual events. And my gut reaction is to not even trust that it’s real? SMH.

I don’t know about anyone else but all I think of when I watch this clip is what was she really trying to say!

71-Year-Old Ex-Minister Accused Of Child Porn

There’s been yet another case of a minister caught with child pornography. This 71 year old minister is being accused of the crime of watching young children in a vile and sexual manner.

How sick is this man? How in the hell can kids turn you on? That’s some sick shhh. It could have easily been one of my friends’ children, or even a family member who this so-called man of God was sexually attracted to.

And my grandmother wonders why folk don’t want to attend church on Sunday! These days we have to be very careful about who we allow around our children, because you never know how sick and twisted a person’s mind really is. Especially these so called reverends who use their power to control the minds of others to fulfill their sexual desires. Sick! It’s hard to let the preacher pray for you these days without thinking that he’s trying to get his feel on.

We are all human; no man is perfect at all. So don’t think the nearest preacher can get any closer to God than you can. The same way he can read the Holy Bible, so can I. The same way the preacher prays at night and has a conversation with God, so can I!
