We are many many things, we are the weakest, we are the All women have been brainwashed to be subservient to men. Not just Black women. Our females are graduating 70 to 30. I have a problem with the silence of the scholars. It is very problematic that the scholars are not writing articles and publising books about people who are not offering things to our youth.
Bill Cosby has a new interview out where he discusses pimps, our cousin laquanda and why Black women will NEED to lead until our potential spouses get outta jail. Here are some excerpts below."This is not your grandmothers world, and you have to
think about you taking charge in business, family, raising your
home".
strongest, within ourselves.
Also. I found it irresponsible and inconsiderate for CNN to title the clip "People have Gone Crazy". It is sensationalizes the issue of horribile Black Male to Femal graduation rate. Maybe I will e-mail CNN and let them n*ggas know they wrong for that.
In the spirit of Cosby's words, Imma post what Mac Jay spoke from his soul about what it means to actually BE PRESENT in class. Take that BILL!!

Those problems are pretty small compared to all the positives______________
that come outta being a good student. I know I'm rambling and don't really have any idea where this post is going, but I'ma let you in on the secret to what's helped me the most... reading. If you read the textbooks and go to class, this school shit is so simple mayne. On mommas. I already been knowin' I coulda
pulled these grades in Arizona but I didn't read shit, I'd look over my books like the night before a test and go in the next day praying that I'd pass.I'd always be hella pissed when my tests came back with a shitty grade, all like "what the fuck happened"? Well, I was an idiot. But I stand there saying "da fuck was I supposed to know that" and thinking the teachers was trying to play me and do the exact same shit next test. When really they wasn't, read the books and you cool. Now I go to tests prepared, like it's nuuuthiiin'. De nada, blood.
Sorry for boring you with this shit, jus been pullin' these grades lately n hella excited mayne. Now on to tha biz....

The biggest victories are won by the smallest margins.
Dallas vs San Antonio 104-103
L.A. Clippers vs Phoenix 114-107
Latley, the semifinals have exemplified that. Who knows that Lebron will do. I was happy to see that the other players got involved last night.
Cleveland won by what one or two Friday night. It is hard to BE PRESENT, if you are not INVOLVED with what the game.I was thinking about that quote when I was studying for my finals. And it is true.

Gurrl, I was out w/ Bronx Logic and his baby cousin's [5,6 &11years old)yesterday. I have never been in the bathroom so many times in my life. I forgot that you can take little boys to the ladies bathroom. When you are out with kids you have to plan when and where you will take the kids to pee. Who knew?!?!!? And doing that 'ish in NYC is the truth.

and i hate using public restrooms, so i most certainly do plan it out when i'm in the city. i usually stick to the hotels (and not the roach coach ones). they are the cleanest & lucky enough the city has plenty of them.

We were in midtown so there were HELLLA hotels.
You might have to give me some "Planning a day in the city" tips for the next time I am with the young bucks.
It was fun, but there is a certain rhythm to it.
well...my buck isn't old enough to really complain *lol* but EYE don't like public bathrooms, so i try to find the least grimey. i used to hate going to bars & drinking and then having to go. bar bathrooms are so disgusting!
Ummm public jawns are grimey.
But we were in rockfeller center so you know they keeps 'em tidy for the tourists.
But please believe. There are some dive bars i frequent and you be tryna pee wicho butt cheeks tight to avoid the IDEA of any germs gettin on you as you gid rid of beer excess.
