Substitute Teaching

I have always wonder why substitute sounded similar to prostutute for a long time.That is until today. I unwittingly took over a class that resembles Sweathogs on crack. In welcome back Carter you only see one class. 7 hours I spend trying to teach the uncivilize to understand the importance of grammar. God, I felt like a missionary only diference is that I am not attempting to Christianise them.
It is hard to help people swim when they prefer to drown.
Now my neck muscles are so tight that I am afraid that if I turn my head there would be damage to my spinal column.
No child left behind is a joke. Give Bush an A for appearing to care. It leaves so many that do not want to learn occupying my time. Am I reconsidering my interest in teaching?
Not sure just feel like a prostitute because I am doing the same work as a regular teacher but at fraction of the cost.
Like a kiss or a phone call.

Thanksgiving...

America nuzzled itself in the bosom of Thanksgiving because a majority of the population has been seduced into believing a lie. What is so important about a holiday that is fueled by mythology and hides the fact the ones that came here were not interested in brotherly love. A few days before this alleged
feast took place, a company of 'pilgrims' led by Miles Standish actively
sought the head of a local Indian leader, and an 11 foot high wall was
erected around the entire Plymouth settlement for the very purpose of
keeping the Original people of this continent out.
Our kids are taught to identify with the good fortune of the Pilgrims. Which that alone narrow the population of people that can truly identify. The fact that the matter that the Indigenous American nation and African holocausts flowed from the feast at Plymouth are removed from our children’s school books.
I do not recall any Africans with the pilgrims. Every year I witness the appalling ritual of black folks giving thanks to a God that was given to them through the assimilation of slavery.
This turkey day lets recite

Ras Kass "Nature of the Threat":

Stealing land from the indigenous natives

Gave them alcohol to keep the Red (and Brown Man) intoxicated

Whites claim they had to civilize these pagan animals,

But up until 1848 there's documented cases

of whites being the savage cannibals, eating Indians

In 1992, it's Jeffery Dahmer

They slaughtered a whole race with guns

Drugs, priests and nuns

1763, the first demonic tactic of biological warfare

As tokens of peace, Sir Jeffery Amherst

passed out clothing and blankets to the Indian community

Infested with small pox, knowing they had no immunity

Today it's AIDS, you best believe it's man made

Cause ain't a damn thing changed

Eat and be merry but remember you're fattening yourselves up for the devil that will feast upon your bloated soul...

Nashville Schools

Recently the Nashville's newspaper the Tennessean stated the 65% of the students are living below the poverty level and the numbers will not stop going up.
It does not suprise me because with poverty breeds dispair and unfortunately that gives rise to ignorance or better know as kids misbehaving. The parents that have the resources do not want their child education to suffer and choose private schools. I have been in the matrix of the school system less than a year and I have seen poor folks of many races bully the kids that have things going for them. Sadly I have seen some of the smartest kids from poor enviroments choose ignorance because it is cool..
Until the lost children gain knowledge of self they will never gain wisdom nor be able to see the liberty understanding brings them through Culture/Freedom which empowers and refine.
Until then equality or the true understanding of the Almighty will hinder them. What is left is destruction of a temple that could have been built to radiate Gods wonders.
Until then then they will never truly manifest themselves through the birth canal of knowledge. The cipher remains void.
Only when we address these issues will we have the kids have hope.

Dog The Bounty Hunter

OK, here we go again another white person that just cannot keep quiet. His apology is much more eloquent.
Now Roy Innis wants his show pulled. Roy conjures up images of brawls on Geraldo and The Morton Downey Jr. Show. Thank the Lord that it is not Al or Jackson.
Again the whole role model thing is being put out there and you know I throw the "bs" flag.
I am more concern about HBCs and the dire straights that some are in. The young black boys that are being misdiagnose and place in special education.
Dog's conversation was in private and I am not justifying his words but he is far from a role model.
How about the professional athletes that fall short on giving back to the dilapidated neighborhoods they came from. These professionals that kids look up to whom fall short on giving back.
Back to Dog, what do you expect with a name like Dog a spade is a spade and what is his job. Mark Fuhrman ring a bell.
Until we can truly resurrect the walking dead that walk the inner city nothing will ever be accomplish. The key is to overstand and gain knowledge of self.
Other wise we will just sit around and complain about ignorant bigots that do not matter in the greater scheme of things.
