March 2, 2011 Front Page No Comments


Speaking of Dee-1, Someone else has beef with Weezy.

Young People all over the world are producing music, some with videos, challenging their favorite artists to be more responsible. The youth ranging from 9 years old to their 30′s understand that these icons must be held accountable for all of the negativity they so nonchalantly put out to the world on a daily. Word to my homie Muhibb Dyer, The children are indeed crying, specifically in this video, for Lil Wayne to check himself for the degradation of the black women we call mom, wife, sister, grandma, etc. CONTINUE FOR VIDEO

Kathleen Bradley ‘AKA’ Ms. Parker’s ComeBack!|99Problems.org

February 4, 2011 Culture, Music, Problems No Comments

Anytime I see Kathleen Bradley, whether it’s on the Price is Right or some random tv exposure, I can just imagine Smokey(chris Tucker) screaming, “dayum, Ms. Parker finer than a mother-F*****!” In reference to Katheleen, he’s right, she is fine and she is someone’s mother. In fact, her son is a local rapper that is trying to acquire fame in the music industry. Below is one of his music videos where Kathleen, basically reinacts her famous scene in “Friday” while her son sits with his gazing friends. More of Ms. Parker Inside

I’m a rules guy, but this is just silly!–Demand justice for Kelley Williams-Bolar

January 28, 2011 Problems 1 Comment

Check out this eyebrow raising story from Ohio. Apparently, Kelley Williams-Bolar tried to give her kids a better life by sending her children to the nearby majority-White school district where her father lives — and she went to jail for it. Now her career as a teacher is in jeopardy.

I for one believe that rules that restrict people from being able to opt into any school district they like are important. And not because I think kids shouldn’t be able to go to good schools, but because I understand that public dollars are scarce and should be reserved for tax payers’ services. After all, far too many people from outside the community get publicly funded jobs and don’t live in the communities that they serve, and those monies never get back into the public coffers. Many municipalities across the country have rules that force their cops, teachers and other civil servants to live within the district. So, in short, it goes both way.

Programs like the Milwaukee Public Schools’ Chapter 220, which aims to ameliorate the impacts of segregation by reserving spots for children of color in suburban schools, are decent policy fixes for the inherent problems and inequalities attached to education. And I might get smacked by my progressive friends, but I also think school choice is a way to fix some of this as well. (Of course, the best way to stop stuff like this is to just fix public schools.)

But at the end of the day, real justice requires that the punishment fit the crime; what Williams-Bolar is facing is clearly over the top. Call on Ohio Governor John Kasich to publicly denounce her punishment and also do all he can to right this wrong.

Go here to help Williams-Bolar help…this is just silly.

[VIDEO] TERROR @ Milwaukee’s Mall|99Problem.org

January 3, 2011 Front Page 3 Comments

If you come to Milwaukee and you’re looking for a place to shop, Mayfair Mall is one of the few appealing options. It’s located in Wauwatosa, a suburban city within Milwaukee County. The population is approximately fifty thousand. The racial makeup of the city was 93.97% White, 2.04% African American, according to the 2004 Census Estimate. Well those same people were scared to death this weekend as a gang of majority black, Milwaukee youth filled up the Village of Tosa’s Mall and began to act unruly. “Give us, gangmembers, something to do then”, shouts our youth everytime something like this occurs. I don’t condone mob meet-ups and shooting firearms in any public setting, but I know that it goes on everyday in my hood. Tosa and Milwaukee aren’t that far from each other. Why should they feel more safe over there than where we are? CONTINUE READING, LEAVE A COMMENT!!
