You are what you eat.

This man expresses what I have been feeling about gangster rap. He relays the information in such a clear and concise way. There is an old saying " you are what you eat". If you eat thoughts of death and killing you will become that. It will promote violence in your core self, it will find a way to become manifest in your life. There is no way to repeat a song that says women are whores and bitches and lets go kill a nigger, and have respect for humanity.
We all are seduced by the media. For the most part violence sells. It is the train wreck we stop to watch. We don't stop to watch the old lady being lovingly helped across the street. Our basic core instincts are being used against us to make a certain few very wealthy.
Could the very nature of hateful gangster rap be a plot to keep the Black Nation in America down? What better propaganda to create self hate and chaos than to use music to turn brother against brother.
When did it become OK to call women hateful names? Or to advocate one Black man to kill another Black man for merely looking at him the wrong way? Why does no one find it offensive to hear such hate turned into mantras that children sing as they play?
I came upon Boyce Watkins when I did a search for C. Delores Tucker. I have linked to a video she made in 1993. Such a wise women who was called such horrible names by those profiteers in the gangster rap community. She speaks with such credence. I feel so bad for how was treated in songs by rappers. They spewed pure hate towards her. Take the time and watch her video. She was a voice for reason.
Most of these gangster rappers go on to make plenty of cash and make sure their children go to college. These gangster rappers have made their millions off the the death of other peoples children.
No one knows how this will all turn out. If you marinate yourself in a daily dose of gangster rap it will cover you with its flavor of lowered expectations and despair.

Dorothy Dix Dictates




Dorothy Dix wrote this during WW2. It is a culmination of her years of dispensing advice. It holds true for today as yesterday. 
My favorite one is, Don't Borrow Trouble.

First. Make up your mind to be happy. Happiness is largely a matter of self-hypnotism. You can think yourself happy or you can think yourself miserable. It is up to you...learn to find pleasure in simple things. If you can’t go to the opera, you can turn on the radio. Nail on your face the smile that won’t come off, and after a bit you will find that it comes naturally.
Second. Make the best of your lot. Of course, you’re not everything you want and things are not just right. Nobody is that lucky. Even the most fortunate have a lot of crumpled rose leaves under their forty mattresses of ease. There isn’t a single human being who hasn’t plenty to cry over, and the trick is to make the laughs outweigh the tears.
Third. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Don’t think that everything that happens to you is of world-shaking importance and that somehow you should have been protected from the misfortunes that befall other people. When death robs you of one you love, or you lose your job, don’t demand to know of high heaven why this should happen to you and grow rebellious and morbid over your sorrow. We are never happy until we learn to laugh at ourselves.
Fourth. Don’t take other people too seriously. They are not so much, anyway. Don’t let their criticisms worry you. You can’t please everybody, so please yourself. Don’t let your neighbors set your standards for you. Don’t run into debt trying to keep up with the Joneses, or bore yourself to death trying to be as intelligent as the Highbrows. Be yourself and do the things you enjoy doing if you want to be comfortable and happy.
Fifth. Don’t borrow trouble. You have to pay compound interest on that and it will bankrupt you in the end. It is a queer thing, but imaginary troubles are harder to bear than actual ones. There are none of us who have not lain awake at night petrified with dread of some calamity that we feared might befall us and that we felt would shatter our lives if it should occur. Generally it never happened, but if it did, it was not so bad after all and we survived it without serious injury. Enjoy today and let tomorrow take care of itself. There is no sounder adage than that which bids us not to trouble trouble until trouble troubles us. The only good that worrying ever did anyone was make him thin. It is grand for the figure but hard on the disposition.
Sixth. Don’t cherish enmities and grudges. Don’t keep up old quarrels. Don’t remember all the mean things people have done to you. Forget them. Hate is a dreadful chemical that we distill in our own hearts, that poisons our own souls. It takes all the joy out of life and hurts us far worse than it does anyone else. There is nothing so depressing as having a grudge against someone. Nothing makes a home so miserable as for the family not to be on good terms. Meeting someone you don’t speak to will spoil any party. So if you have an enemy, forgive him and kiss on both cheeks, not for his sake but simply because it is to making you unhappy and uncomfortable to be stirred up in wrath against him.
Seventh. Keep in circulation. Go around and meet people. Belong to clubs. Travel as much as you can. Have as many interests as possible. Have hosts of friends. That is the way to keep yourself cheerful and jolly and thinking that this is the best of all possible worlds.
Eighth. Don’t hold post-mortems. Don’t spend your life brooding over the mistakes you have made or the sorrows that have befallen on you. What is done is done and cannot be changed, but you can have your whole future life in which to make good. Not all the tears can bring back those we have lost, but we can make life miserable for ourselves and those about us by our unavailing weeping. Quit beating upon your breast because you haven’t as much money as you used to have. Don’t be one of those who never get over things. Have the courage to take misfortune on the chin and come up smiling.
Ninth. Do something for somebody less fortunate than yourself. Minister to other people’s trouble and you will forget your own. Happiness is a coin that we keep only when we give it away.
Tenth. Keep busy. That is the sovereign remedy for unhappiness. Hard work is a panacea for trouble. You never saw a very busy person who was unhappy.

One of the 47% is who outed Romney

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/03/scott-prouty-47-percent-video

Well Well. Good job Scott. One of the many 47 per centers who cater to Romney is the one that outed him for his Elitist Views on the working class.
Not everyone wants to be rich Mr Romney. Just like the junky on the corner, Romney has a monkey on his back and it is the desire for Wealth at all cost.
