Hip-Hop is not music. It is mind-numbing garbage that brings discredit to the black community. Hip-Hop has destroyed modern black culture. One can only see blacks in a negative manner when they listen to the hideous lyrics that accompany the incessant drone.
Wake-up black America. Quit defending this garbage. And you white fools, quit aiding and abetting something so demeaning to blacks.
After years of hearing about MySpace, a social networking site that supposedly is visited by child molesters looking to hook-up, I finally decided to see what the fuss was all about. MySpace has been on the news frequently and covert operations by the police and F.B.I. have been the focus of many stories. After visiting MySpace, it is clear to me that MySpace is a danger to our young people, but not for the reasons you hear on the news. Parents, police, and the F.B.I. have completely failed to identify who the real sexual predators are that inhabit the MySpace world.
The real sexual predators on MySpace are the teenagers and children who use it. I was shocked at the sexual content and provocative photographs that are rife throughout MySpace. These photos of teenagers in various stages of undress are both sexual and solicitous. The photos are taken by teenagers, supposedly meant for other teenagers, but MySpace is an open Internet site. The message your sons and daughters are sending out to the world is look at how sexy I am. Let's be friends.
Another shocking element to MySpace is the foul-language being used by children. Plenty of the "F" words. Not something that is pleasant to hear from our teenagers. Thank you, Hollywood. It is hard to imagine that parents that are so concerned about their children being contacted by a sexual predator would allow them to use the "F" word with such abandon.
What I saw on MySpace was an outrage. Parents who worry about sexual predators on MySpace need to wake-up. It is their own children that are the predators.

The hype and promise of high definition television has been utterly disappointing. It all started back in the 1980's. We were told in the early eighties, that within 10 years everyone would have a high definition television set in their homes. Yet, it is this year, 2007, some 15 years later than predicted, that one can say with any degree of confidence, that high definition will finally arrive in a big way into the American home. So what happened and why did it take so long? And why is viewing a high definition television so disappointing to me, at least.
I saw a demonstration of high definition about 15 years ago. What I saw was astounding. It was better than movie theater quality and I was hooked. Of all people, I waited for the development of high definition to become a reality. Sadly, HD technology became hijacked by competing technologies and political interference at a business and governmental level. An array of competing methods battled it out for dominance and the government kept meddling, via the FCC, by imposing new rules and regulations concerning high definition broadcasting.
Now high definition is about to take off in a big way in the American home. The biggest factor is the price drop. HD television have finally come within reach of the average income family. The big question now is, should you get one? Sadly, the answer is no, not yet. Wait a few more years. But why, you ask, particularly when I can afford one now, should I wait any longer?
Here are some reasons. Remember how I said I saw an HD demonstration some years ago that was better than movie theater. The HD sets today are not movie theater quality. At best, they are only marginally better that the picture produced on a standard television set. It is embarrassing to go into a store that sells HD television and look at demonstration units. I can not, for the life of me, figure out why a store selling televisions would allow the pictures displayed to be so far out of tune. If it was my store I would want the very best picture on the demo televisions. I am funny that way, and and have felt the same thing when it comes to my personal television. It always has the best possible picture available with the tuning controls. I go into other peoples homes and they don't seem to care. The tint and color adjustments are not set properly and the images do not look realistic. That is probably the biggest reason why HD looks so good to these people. But I repeat HD is only marginally better than a regular TV that is tuned in properly.
So I have shopped around for HD televisions, looked at the picture, and realized that what I can get for $1500 dollars is not much better than what I already have for $350 dollars.
What about the future? Actually, it is quite promising. For instance, the DLP televisions, which have been a joke, and actually reverted to 1920's television technology by utilizing a bright beam of light, that burns out frequently, shining through a spinning color wheel to produce the color picture, are about to undergo a huge change for the better. The color wheel concept is being replaced by solid state devices that will provide a much better, longer lasting picture. HD televisions with a 120 Hz refresh rate are just starting to make an appearance in the market place. These televisions finally have the movie theater quality we have been waiting for.
So I say, wait a little longer and your patience will be rewarded. If you blow a thousand-plus bucks on today's line of disappointing HD televisions you will be kicking yourself for not waiting because real “movie theater” quality HD is just around the corner.
You just have to read this. It is so good.
Norm Geras who writes a popular British blog notes this priceless interview with with famous British Novelist Martin Amis in the Guardian:
What is the most depressing thing about Britain you have observed since your return? And the best?...
Martin Amis: The most depressing thing was the sight of middle-class white demonstrators, last August, waddling around under placards saying, We Are All Hizbollah Now. Well, make the most of being Hizbollah while you can. As its leader, Hasan Nasrallah, famously advised the West: "We don't want anything from you. We just want to eliminate you."
Similarly, when I went on Question Time the other week, a woman in the audience, her voice quavering with self-righteousness, presented the following argument: since it was America that supported Osama bin Laden when he was fighting the Russians, the US armed forces, in response to September 11, "should be dropping bombs on themselves!" And the audience applauded. It is quite an achievement. People of liberal sympathies, stupefied by relativism, have become the apologists for a creedal wave that is racist, misogynist, homophobic, imperialist, and genocidal. To put it another way, they are up the arse of those that want them dead.
The following is a reply to a Townhall article on 01/22/07 by Burt Prelutsky regarding Black racism. The reply is from "Loyal Democrat" and is noteworthy for its subtle satire. It also highlights the attitude of some in the Democratic party who continue to believe that Blacks are incapable of achievement without assistance. Read on:
It is shameful for a noted columnists to even suggest that anything any black person does wrong is their own fault. Black society has had to endure the bonds of slavery, something virtually no other race has ever had to experience, so they cannot be held to the same social standards as members of other races. Every black person alive today bears the scars of having been held as slaves, and that bondage has deprived them from taking advantage of the opportunities that America offers exclusively to whites. It is ludicrous to expect any black to behave in what whites consider to be a civilized society when the shackle marks are still fresh on their wrists, and it is ridiculous to expect any black to have any semblance of an education since no teachers were holding class out in the cotton fields.
White racism is being voiced whenever black culture is criticized for its illegitimacy rates, drug use, and runaway crime. Such characteristics are what makes up the black culture, and just because such activities are unacceptable to whites, that is no reason for blacks to eschew their own culture and attempt to act white just to get along. What whites consider to be poor language skills, anti-social behavior, and irresponsible parenting is actually the culture that blacks are proud to call their own, and it is the culture that icons such as Jesse Jackson fight to maintain.
It is racist for whites to call black culture improper and encourage blacks to change their ways. Blacks that study in school, desire achievement, stay off of drugs, and avoid unwed parenthood are indeed attempting to fit into white culture, so it is proper that black society shun such sellouts. To emulate the members of another culture is wrong, for it just indicates that the sellout is ashamed of his own culture. White racism encourages this sellout attitude.
The simple fact is that black culture developed into its current form because blacks cannot help but behave in the way that they do. Due to their history of subjugation, blacks are not able to make the type of educated decisions that members of other races can. Their unique heritage of slavery has ensured that blacks will not perform well at jobs or school for perhaps dozens more decades, if ever. Therefore, it is up to white society to implement programs that make things as simple and easy to comprehend as possible, otherwise no black can ever hope to achieve anything when competing against a white person, or a person of any other race for that matter. Blacks will not be able to achieve anything without help and handouts from whites, and it is racists for any white to withhold such help.
In keeping with an anti-racist attitude, the Democrat Party has been there for blacks every step of the way. Even in the early days Democrats fought to keep blacks from attending white schools, thus keeping them from feeling intimidated and embarrassed by their poor performance. Today, Democrats fight to keep affirmative action alive because only Democrats fully realize that it is idiotic to expect any black to perform well when matched against a white person on a level playing field. Thus, Democrats have fought to keep black culture alive by blocking efforts to curtail the proud black tradition of illegitimate births, high crime rates, and poor academic performance. Democrats have fought for lenient treatment of black criminals, and have worked to ensure no black remains in jail for very long. With this, an individual that the racist white society considers to be "violent" is able to return back to his neighborhood in record time where he can once again be part of the black culture.
Democrats have recognized that blacks are victims that need the protection and handouts of whites, and they have provided many government programs for any black that has wisely chosen to remain on the Democrat plantation. The Democrat Party has been the blacks' best friend, for only they recognize just how inferior members of the black race are, and only they have done something about it.
Phyllis Schlafly has been a leader of the pro-family movement since 1972, when she started her national volunteer organization now called Eagle Forum. Her syndicated column appears in 100 newspapers. Writing in Townhall.com this week she reveals some very important items regarding immigration and social security reform. This is a must read that can have a serious impact on your social security. Here are a few quotes:
"President George W. Bush's secret plan for Social Security has just been released to the public in response to a Freedom of Information lawsuit filed by TREA Senior Citizens League, a million-member seniors advocacy group.
For years the president carried on an energetic public relations campaign to promote his plan to privatize part of Social Security, but he kept under White House lock and key the "totalization" agreement his administration secretly made with Mexico in June 2004.
If and when Bush personally signs this agreement, it will automatically become law without any congressional action.
Totalization is the bureaucratic buzzword for the plan to put millions of illegal Mexican workers into the U.S. Social Security system. They would collect U.S. benefits based on their U.S earnings under false or stolen Social Security numbers plus alleged earnings in Mexico.
U.S. citizens must work 10 years to be eligible for Social Security benefits, but the totalization agreement would allow Mexicans to qualify with only 18 months of work in the United States, and pretend to make up the difference by assuming work in Mexico. It is highly doubtful that the illegal immigrants ever paid into a Mexican system for eight and a half years."
