Kyrie Irving As Old Man Getting Buckets
LOVE IT…Wish this was a series with different players hitting different spots playing people…Kyrie need some acting tips, but once he got on the court it was dope…Dope. Heard he wrote, directed and produced this…multifaceted indeed.
There are way too many stories like this tasered pregnant lady where cops are abusive and walk. Where “men of the cloth are abusive” and walk. If a person happens to take the time and go through Seminary school, then graduate from the Police academy, then theoretically they would be totally immune from just about any legal accountability. Rape, molestation, murder, assault, thief, intimidation, pedophilia, on and on and on.
Citizens are punished far greater than those paid and sworn to serve and protect them. Isn’t it a greater crime when the protector becomes the predator? Who’s worst the wolves you can identify or the wolves in sheep’s clothing? As a cop you are given weapons to protect yourself and citizens from crime and you tase small children and pregnant women…word? As a priest/minister you are presented and projected as a “man of God” (which is a load in itself as by definition we would all be) and you abuse that trust to trap children in your web of sexual perversion…word?
If we cannot hold soldiers, police, politicians, and pastors to a standard of decency and accountability for their violence and crimes NOT in the name serving or protecting, then why have laws at all and why should anyone follow them?
The constitution is too conditional a document for it to dictate decency and justice with any conviction. If it is the foundation then no wonder our civility is so suspect…
Here’s to becoming Bishop Doctor Captain Lott -_-

Real Fathers come in all walks of life…Even more of an example of why you don’t toss a man out of his kids lives or make it any easier for him to be ashamed of his circumstance and not come around his kids, because if he loves them even his failures will be lasting lessons that guide them to a better place.
I’m not going to pretend that I understand homosexuality or that I’m a true champion of gay marriage. I openly admit to being something that I typically don’t like to be on a topic, which is ambivalent toward the matter. It doesn’t effect me one way or the other, so I’m not going to drum up fake concern in order to get a pat on the back.
What does bother me is the taking of a personal choice or a preferred lifestyle and politicizing it. Even worst politicians and people who consider themselves as ‘informed voters’ (oxymoron?) assigning their oh so fluid religious beliefs and pseudo-philosophies to a matter that has no place on a ballot.
The separation of church and state is really non-existent. That is problematic. It makes people who already inherently hypocritical more empowered to unjustly apply their illogical and unjust “beliefs”. It is all good to lean on your religious beliefs only if you are christian or catholic in the US when trying to get a base of support for your cause or to fuel your distraction, but when it comes to actions and being accountable to injustices inflicted on people everyday religion gets trumped by policy and constitutional commandments.
If we are not putting on a ballot whether or not people can be homosexual, bi-sexual, heterosexual or asexual then why the hell would we care to politicize those same individuals rights to marry, adopt, and operate within that lifestyle in any fashion they care to as long as it is productive and in keeping with whatever standards a citizen should be charged with to add to the greater good?
President Obama made a statement as a man that happens to be a politician, which no matter context or content will always be over politicized and have multiple people spinning the message to help quench their own thirst for attention or more support for their cause. The fact of the matter is he expressed something that is lacking in politics, religion, as well as everyday life…evolution of thought.
We cannot be STUCK. Yes you stand for what you believe and try to be open and gain perspective, but no will change your, but you. With that, if you are being presented with facts and are able to see that things are not as you thought they were there should be a paradigm shift. In many cases that shift will have you show support for many things that you personally do not live, but have grown to understand and appreciate those who do live it.
Bottom line is marriage is as ambiguous as it has proven to be unsuccessful for many of the same reasons gay marriage is even an issue we get distracted by debating. Religion and Politics don’t mix. People will stand on the bible to debate gay marriage, abortion, planned parenthood, but in the same vein stomp all over the bible in support of the things they lust over (guns, money, sex, power, and their perceived right to be considered the moral right).
As a nation we will never build in any positive direction if we are always so willing and eager to tear down others based on race, religion, sexuality, and economic status…As a country was are over 200 years old (236 from day of independence and 225 from the signing of the constitution), but still needs to grow up.
Equality that is situational is not equality really. So for that reason I support Gay Marriage and don’t believe it should be a political issue or something the people have a right to allow or disallow…
Disagree?
Andre 3000 To Play Jimi Hendrix In Biopic!
A fitting way to cast the role, though Jimi’s voice is distinctly different than Andre’s, but I think he will do a great job. Can’t wait to see it.
3 Stacks!
Teacher Freestyles Chemistry Lesson To Get Class’ Attention. Looks staged, but I can appreciate the concept and finding ways to convey lectures so they stick. Of course this would have to be played a few times and have some sort activity to reienforce it, but fusing modern day hiphop with educational lessons makes me curious. I learned most of what I knew in the Bible for a “Rapping Rabbit” tape my sister bought me as a child…It’s funny how certain things stick with you.
Bad music comes in every generation not just the latest. And it isn’t just the youth producing the nonsense. Horrible songs like this were play nationally on the radio right in the mix of crack epidemic…Don’t mistakenly label the latest generations for their poor choices when you once listened and created trash like this yourself.
When I see stuff like this I can’t help but to think about whose relatives were this evil and how much did their families benefit of the backs of Black people. There was never any justice for this man, because he wasn’t seen as a man…This is why reparations is needed in many ways. The scars inflicted on his body and hundreds of thousands like him are still gaping wounds within our community. This country has never truly answered for this, which makes it complicit to this day.
This is a photograph from a book called ‘Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography ins America” (pub. 2004). The photo is called ‘The lynching of Frank Embree, July 22, 1899, Fayette, MO”
By all reckoning, that makes this barely 113 years old.
There are two other matching photos to the set. The one below, and the one of him hanging, which is too upsetting to post. You can see it (along with others from much later time periods here: http://chnm.gmu.edu/courses/omalley/race/four.html)
The Avengers (Marvel Studios) - Featurette
Looking forward to this movie. I love the comic to movie concept, because like comics it should never get old. As a fan you love following the characters as they encounter new challenges and stumble upon nuances in their own capabilities. With Ed Norton was playing the Hulk though, but doesn’t matter. I will be at the IMAX for this one for sure. Midnight May 3rd into the 4th big numbers on the way. I’d be surprised if they don’t clear 70 million opening weekend.
I have been an avid user of coconut oil for years, since it was broken down to me that why would a person apply chemicals to their skin and hair that wouldn’t be safe and beneficial to digest…
So I started using coconut oil then more as a moisturizer, but then started to learn of many of the benefits when digesting. After hearing of how it can breakdown viral entities that attack the body from within I will be doing more research and utilizing it more in my cooking and daily life. It is relatively cheap and easy to integrate in your day to day activities. Got to love when something is truly helpful without the shady side effects.
I wanted to be a nutritionist at one point and a personal trainer…this info is certainly sparking that desire once again. Love helpful information.
@ReachAroundLA Radio: Natural Healing and Info On Many Common Ailments
Great info on causes/treatments for Fibroids and other ailments. Natural Healer Dr. Odis Cherrington joins the Reach Around Radio crew and drops science on so many things. This was a great listen and really peaked my interest in doing the most to avoid illnesses or lessen the likelihood of certain ailments effecting me and my family. Incredible.
Listening about how dairy is linked to fibroids…Cows bleed into the milk that they produce as they are forced (chemically) to continue to produce milk as they only produce milk as when preggo…The heat applied during pasteurizing doesn’t destroy the chemical (Prosilac) that is used to force cows to produce milk and as it enter our systems it causes our body chemistry and hormones to be off. This is why fibroid attack certain organs (breast, brain, testes for men, and uterus)…Coconut oil helps to prevent these harmful entities (zeno Estrogen)…Need to sweat it out as well or it gets caught up and cause lymph nodes…
Great info…beyond the jokes. Worth watching, listening, noting, and doing your own research.
DayToHeal@Yahoo.com to reach the good Doctor
My Wife and I went with 3 other couples and we all loved it. The
dialog was quick, funny, and authentic enough that it wasn’t boring.
It was fun to follow the characters. The guest appearances keep you
entertained as well, but the main cast were great. The men in the movie
seemed like they were really going to drive the entire movie, but Taraji
was really good in this film and the rest of the ladies really played
off the men well. I plan to see it again in theaters with a different
group of friends and maybe once more after that.
Kevin and Romany really carried a lot of the funny in this film, but
also brought the feel of truth to the movie. It was just a pleasant
experience to pay your money for something and get more than what you
anticipated. It was truly a movie that crossed color and gender lines
as the dialog, jokes, and situations were wonderfully written and
acted out.
A must see. Best movie I’ve seen in the theater that made me laugh and
kept me consistently entertained since Wedding Crashers…
