Am I My Brother’s Keeper???

August 19, 2010 Front Page No Comments

I guess I have a problem.

My brother has distanced himself from the hood lifestyle to pursue an honest living so that he can provide for his child but he has to deal with the neighbors in the hood that he works in. They basically keep robbing the establishment, or scoping the place out provoking employees as if they’re gonna rob it eventually (Mind you this black-owned establishment has always serviced and gave back to the community it was in). This would make anyone angry as well as uneasy. I’d suggest that he transfers but then he’s running from a problem that can find anyone anywhere. It just so happens that you can’t hide from ignorance. But I don’t want my brother to be a victim or suspect, just successful at whatever he does so this is bothering me.

MILWAUKEE: 1st of the Month Comes Early, Flood Victims Line Up For Assistance

July 26, 2010 Front Page No Comments

This morning, I took the scenic route on the way to drop my mother off at work. While on Green Bay Rd, I drove past a lot of homes that displayed destroyed remains of what used to be a basement on the front curb. It looks as if the city of Milwaukee has been evicted. A feeling of appreciation came over me but as I thought of those that were overwhelmed by Thursdays storm or the victims of Katrina, I begin to question why I was so blessed to have dodged another natural occurrence. … Continue Reading

Milwaukee Aldermen Don’t Like Hip-Hop At All!!!!

July 24, 2010 Front Page No Comments

The picture on the left might as well say ‘No BLACK Music and here’s why! Last night, before djing in a Milwaukee Club on Water & Wisconsin, the owner comes up to me and says he’s cutting my set short because the Alderman threatened to shut him down. Apparently, they’re not too fond of the urban crowd that have been assembling inside and outside the establishment in the last couple of weeks. Now mind you, I had a long day so I really wasn’t even trying to have this conversation with him. I was kind of relieved that my set was shortened so I could gain extra sleep time in my vehicle. So, I can’t remember everything he was saying. But what did stick out in my mind is that the owner emphasized that the Alderman of the 4th District, Robert Bauman, wants it to be “Ghost White” down there. WTF does that mean and should I be offended? Should the owner feel that comfortable telling me this since he resembles the guy that made the comment? … Continue Reading

July 23, 2010 Front Page No Comments

I received a note on Facebook from my buddy Jason displaying such frustration in regards to the response to the civilians in need during yesterdays flood in Milwaukee. In addition to the note, my homie “Say No More” did a superb job of capturing different scenarios that occurred in some of the under-covered areas of Milwaukee and they kinda go hand in hand..Check It Out … Continue Reading

FACEBOOK BEEF>>>>22 Year Old Milwaukee Woman Attacked After Giving Birth

You can’t even tweet that you just gave birth to a baby because someone you’re having issues with might come and try to fight you. That’s worse than the fight at the funeral. That’s worse than accusing a kid of stealing chicken nuggets at lunch. WhereTheyDoThat@??? MILWAUKEE.

We have certainly lost a since of humanity. #ItsADamnShame that a 20 year old woman thought that it be a good idea to beat a woman after she has given birth to a beautiful baby boy because it was with her so-called man. *Looking on the Bright Side* “At least she waited until she had the baby” NOT!!!

RE: CHARGES DROPPED IN CHICKEN NUGGET CASE!!!

July 19, 2010 Front Page No Comments

So my connect @ the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel hits me up on Facebook and shares this with me. If you’ve been following this story, you knew this would happen. Did they really think that they could make an example out of this innocent looking kid over some chicken nuggets. Seems like we’ve won the battle but Adam still has to attend class as the nugget thief. How uncool is that!

The Police Department has withdrawn a theft ticket issued to a Shorewood High School student who was handcuffed, photographed and fingerprinted after being accused of stealing a chicken nugget meal from the school cafeteria, Police Chief David Banaszynski said Monday.

Police and the school principal agreed the matter should be dropped, he said.
