100

This is my one hundredth post, I could tell a story about how it's been a long time, how proud I am and all that jazz. I am not going to do that. This post is my "black" history post, but I am going in a whole other direction with this post. I hate BET. This network is so horrible that it should not be allowed to be on during black history month. This network stand for the exact opposite of what we are supposed to be celebrating. All the deaths, beating, dog bites, water hoses, arrest, sit ins , marches. All of that was so BET could show videos that promote a lifestyle that main cause of all the despair and degradation in the black community. BET shows videos, and old stereotypical TV shows. Where are the quality shows? BET only shows negative images of black people, they are images that show black people as loud, ghetto, criminals, and just generally bad depictions of us as a people. On Fridays they show movies, they call the movies "Blackbuster" movies. The movies that are shown, almost always involve prison, drug dealers, and movies that are of bad quality. Why is this the representative of our community to the world. In the end BET is a hip-hop/rap network, these people cater to the populace. What about Jazz, or a news show. BET tried this but wasn't attracting the audience that they want. Black Entertainment Television, more like Black Embarrassment Television. This show is a slap in the face to Dr. King, Malcolm X, Garret Morgan, Frederick Douglass, Dred Scott, and all the others that fought for the rights of black people in America. These people also pushed forward the thinking of America as a whole for the better. BET is not the legacy we should leave for them. This network is shameful attempt at something good. I hate BET

Catch Up

Wow, a lot has happened since my last post. Fidel Castro resigned, the Writer's Strike was settled, Obama is took a significant lead, my blog had it's 2 YEAR anniversary on the 16th. So where should I start? I want to discuss Senator Obama's heavy lead over Senator Clinton. People have been trying to pump up the contest between Senators Obama & Clinton, while simultaneously Making it seem that the Republican race is basically over. The truth is that Senator Obama is taking Primaries with a huge lead, and Senator McCain and Governor Huckabee are finishing off very close to even and Huckabee is winning Primaries. This is an example of the media placing candidates in certain positions. As I stated before I am done predicting this race, but from an observer's point of view the opposite is true to what the media is saying. Fidel Castro said that he would not seek nor accept a new term as either president or commander-in-chief. What does this mean? I'll tell you the truth. I feel that F. Castro resigning probably won't change much, but I am only about 68% sure about that I don't know much about Cuba, but R. Castro is a different man. On the other side of that coin he was VP for F. Castro’s entire Presidency so he was witness to whatever was going on down there. How his administration will differ from his brothers is Yet to be seen. My Blog is Two years old, I am so proud! I am busy a lot so I don't post as much, but I am still here and do not plan to stop anytime soon. Even know I am handling some business. I am in College Station, Texas, at Texas A & M with La Tech's SGA. I am Fulfilling my Senatorial Duties and representing my University. So I have time to kill till the conference begins. So I am still a blogger, just a busy one. The writer Strike is over, so your favorite TV shows are back. I don't watch much TV anymore, but there are a few shows that I miss and will be glad to see back. A lot has happened, I hope that this post covered everything I would have talked about.

I thought about naming this post "Super Tuesday", but that was too generic, I thought about naming it "How in the world do you lose Massachusetts", but he came back and won more. So like I said before I am done trying to predict this thing, but McCain is doing a lot better than what I thought he would, he has a good chance of getting the nomination. Clinton & Obama at the beginning of the night I was flipping out. Obama was falling behind, but he came back and actually won more than Clinton. I gotta tell you that My first Presidential election is not looking good, I will not vote for McCain or Clinton, but I also won't not vote. So what choice do I have. I have heard that doing the third party thing is throwing away your vote, but isn't any vote cast worth something? At the sametime if you vote for someone who really has no support or recognition then your vote will not help decide the outcome. I still want Obama to get the democratic nomination. Even if he got the nom, and lost I would at least feel proud that the first Presidential vote I cast was for someone who I actually believed in rather than a lesser of two evils vote. If Obama doesn't get the nom then you are looking forward to a very confused and stressed C-dell. One last thing I have to nag about, how do you lose a state where both Senators, and the Governor endorses you. I mean Obama is my candidate, but how do you lose that. I mean the top people in the state at least on a national level. They got elected, you would think that sway could get you at the least (which this was, basically) the fan base of the people that voted for them. It baffles me to how you can lose that state. I tried to find an analogy for this, and I couldn't I don't know what this is like, but it is okay he came back and won a lot of States. Obama has the bragging right, he won the majority of the the States, but they were not the ones with a lot of delagates. So Obama is behind on the Delagate game, but he can say that more people are behind him. I knew that this was going to get good. :)
