I could not say the school was racist because there were black kids in the class and they were getting Straight A's but, my grades dropped down to C's and I could barely keep up. I couldn't understand, how the heck, I was getting straight A's and on the honor roll in the public school and now I don't understand anything. I cried a lot, I was really hurt and did not want to go to that school anymore because a mere transfer changed my life, I had went from being the smartest kid in the class to the dumbest. .

At first I was embarrassed and ashamed. I was so ashamed I became withdrawn. My mom spoke to the Nuns and they gave me individual counseling to help me. But, I still didn't get it, and I couldn't catch up. Then I became angry because, I realized that I was cheated, I was cheated out of so much knowledge that I could never make up for.

When I saw the Black children who were going to this school they were equally good and ALL of these kids were not only interested, but excited about learning. Whereas I used to be the one answering all the questions, I couldn't answer any. It was REALLY hard, because I never got the foundation they had received. That is when I realized that something was terribly wrong with America. I was child that loved to learn, I wanted to learn with all my heart, I had a thirst for knowledge, yet, I was cheated. I believe the miss - education of black America is deliberate. The system was racist. There is no doubt in my mind that it is meant to be.

The thing is, I did not know I was being cheated until I went to a different school. Similarly today, the grocery stores in black neighborhoods lack the fresh variety of healthy foods that one can find in the white neighborhoods. But then - those who have never seen the other side,. do not know they are being cheated and treated unfairly. And so the beat goes on, in every aspect of American life, to the point that we are wasting our own talent, and having to import people for their skills, from other nations because we have failed to properly educate our own.

My mom tried to compensate by getting me all kinds of books. When I went to college, I still felt I missed something. When I see my nieces getting A's and B's and their parents are so excited. Then I look at the material they are learning, and still, even in high school, their writing skills and reading skills are week, I know two things. 1) Nothing has changed. 2) Kids will learn what they are taught.]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:07:00 EDT http://MOIKO.tigblog.org/post/437897 33.7488889 -84.388055633.7488889-84.3880556 ACTS OF DESPERATION - Billary Clinton http://MOIKO.tigblog.org/post/355145 Help me????


I was going to write a Blog on the “Acts of Desperation by” Billary Rotten Clinton, but I decided to just do a search, certainly others are feeling a little confused too, so I did and I read this comment that was a little scary, does anybody know what this person meant about what happens to people who Cross The Clintons. Is this true? OMG.


I was just wondering, has she sold her soul to the Devil, to the point of being so desperate almost to the point of an I MUST WIN, no matter what attitude? Is this $15,000,000 that has no logical explanation? Who are the Clintons in bed with? What’s really up?

Was something promised for this $15,000,000

Mississippi Lawmakers have proposed legislation that forbids restaurants and food establishments from serving food to anyone who is obese (as defined by the State). Under this bill, food establishments are to be monitored for compliance under the State Department of Health and violators will have their business permits revoked.

It seems that house Bill 282 was introduced in the 2008 Mississippi legislative session on Friday by Representative W.T. Mayhall, Jr. and co-authors Bobby Shows, John Read, to keep fat people from eating out. Check it out.

HOUSE BILL NO. 282

An act to prohibit certain food establishments from serving food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the state department of health; to direct the department to prepare written materials that describe and explain the criteria for determining whether a person is obese and to provide those materials to the food establishments; to direct the department to monitor the food establishments for compliance with the provisions of this act; and for related purposes. Be it enacted by the legislature of the state of Mississippi:

SECTION 1.

(1) The provisions of this section shall apply to any food establishment that is required to obtain a permit from the State Department of Health under Section 41-3-15(4)(f), that operates primarily in an enclosed facility and that has five (5) or more seats for customers.

(2) Any food establishment to which this section applies shall not be allowed to serve food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the State Department of Health after consultation with the Mississippi Council on Obesity Prevention and Management established under Section 41-101-1 or its successor. The State Department of Health shall prepare written materials that describe and explain the criteria for determining whether a person is obese, and shall provide those materials to all food establishments to which this section applies. A food establishment shall be entitled to rely on the criteria for obesity in those written materials when determining whether or not it is allowed to serve food to any person.

(3) The State Department of Health shall monitor the food establishments to which this section applies for compliance with the provisions of this section, and may revoke the permit of any food establishment that repeatedly violates the provisions of this section.

SECTION 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after July 1, 2008.



OMG, I TOTALLY CANNOT BELIEVE THIS, YOUR VIEWS ARE WELCOME. ]]> Sat, 02 Feb 2008 10:02:00 EST http://MOIKO.tigblog.org/post/330285 33.7488889 -84.388055633.7488889-84.3880556 Greetings http://MOIKO.tigblog.org/post/323229
I have joined this community because I think it is very important that Americans connect with people outside of our country and learn and understand different cultures. We are so isolated by the media, its so hard for us to know what is real and what is unreal. Our lives are intertwined more than we know therefore, reaching out to each other is a wonderful way to make the world a beautiful place to live.

I really look forward to making friends worldwide.

What was the motive in releasing information that Cheney was a cousin to Presidential Candidate Barack Obama?


Cousins usually mean that we have the same grandparents somewhere on our family tree. But, the Article stated that Mrs.Cheney made the discovery while she was doing some family research for her husband. PLEASE!


Logically this is what really happened.

.They were digging trying to find some dirty genes to sabotage the Obama campaign

.But all they could come up with was a grandfather who they referred to as a common ancestor of the two men to be a 17th century immigrant from France. LOL

So, they held on to it, trying decide OMG, what should we do?

I guess they figured, this is dirty as it gets, what black would vote for anybody related to Dick Cheney,

But, guess what? Most of us are related to some white person who was our grandparent…..and?

Why claim kindred now?

It was said that Mrs. Cheney referred to this as amazing. Read the story. Although Osama's heritage is somewhat different from the masses of blacks in America, I am amazed that she would be amazed.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7048325.stm

Isn't it amazing, that Our great grandfathers crept into the huts at night to breed our great-grandmothers?

Isn't it amazing that they allowed their children to be counted among the cattle, whipped, and beaten?

Isn't it amazing that they allowed their blood to live and die in poverty as if their blood wasn't in our veins?

Isn't it amazing that one road could lead to wealth for generation after generation, while the other road would lead to struggle, heartache, pain and poverty generation after generation?

Isn't it amazing that they would want to claim kindred now? Hmm, yes amazing indeed.

"THE REAL NOMMO"

The Real Nommo has just released his New song Black Christmas and I am totally thrilled about it. Some will say, it doesn't matter whether Jesus is black, white, or any other color. In that case, there shouldn't be any raised eyebrows with this song and Jesus being black. According to the scriptures, we know he cannot be white, and based on the description of his hair; black folk hair is the only hair that matches that description, children of God. All that is beside the point.. The mental picture of a white Jesus has separated the masses of our people from one another. Please read on.

We know that God is Spirit. We know that he must be worshipped in spirit and in truth. So, what is this about a Black Jesus? Jesus came in the flesh, the son of God. I believe in God's wisdom, he made a choice of colors when sending Jesus, cause he knew, it was going to take a little more of him to reach most of us. He is so colorful, Jesus could have been any color, but he foresaw mans wicked heart and fixed it from the beginning. Now, it's for you to finally get it. Watch this. Please explain to me how you can draw a man to Christ, when the God he is supposed to serve look just like his abuser. On the other side of the coin, a man who feels and sees himself as a likeness of his God, would empower himself to Godly thinking. How many kids grow up saying I want to be just like my daddy? Proverbs 23:7 "As a man thinketh, so is he" How can you think about what you never saw. How can you think about what you never heard? Your thoughts come from your frame of references, and past visuals and audio experiences.

If all you see are images of a White man that is reverenced as God, and this is your abuser, can you really, embrace that religion? Those of us who are beyond the beginning stage in your walk with God, would not be affected by it, but those who are struggling with their relationships with God, would find it very difficult. That is why we have so many religions, separating our people from the faith. You would look like a fool to some progressive thinking young people and they would feel insulted if you came to them with an image of someone who closely resembles every thing that has caused them hurt and pain.

Finally, a person who sees himself as he sees his God will most likely try to develop Godly attributes. There would be no niggas bitches and hoes. A black Jesus would never degrade his women, and he would stand up for righteousness and sing songs of power and glory. Can you accept that God is a spirit but when he walked the earth as Christ, he was a Black man?

Why, or why Not?

A thousand Kisses just landed on your lips.
They are like bees but not stinging
They arouse you laughter because they tickle
They numb the pain and sorrow of yesterday
They gather to lift you up like a honeycomb
They take the goodness you have within and create
They take the wonders of your heart
And they season the honey
They take the substance of your character to
Thicken the honey
They buzz a blessing over the new creation
Then they fly away their work is done
Someone in need of honey comes along,
And finds the prize they have left behind
Only
the honey doesn't even know that it is honey
And how sweet it is.



LOOK, 'HONEY' YOU ARE SWEET, JUST HOLD ON!

It is so amazing how we look at people, based on what they wear, the level of education, or where they live to determine if we want to be friends with them or even show them respect. I was reminded of this as I went into a corner store the other day. A man, dressed like a homeless person began speaking to me. When I spoke back to him his eyes lit up with joy and he began to smile with radiance. I continued talking to him and he began telling me of his life story. When he finished I was amazed. But he was amazed that I listened and was really delighted. I felt his joy about to explode. He was so surprised that I took the time to listen, I was surprised that he was surprised. He is now homeless and lives in his car, but he was an entertainer and has worked with some of the greats.


Hebrews 13:1-2
  • "Let brotherly love continue.
  • Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares". The word translated for the word angels also translates messengers, of God.
As I left the store, my mind went to Genesis when the three men came to visit Abraham, and how he treated them with such honor.

It is hard to not feel 'above' the rest, when we work so hard, and get our education and see others who seem to do nothing yet always grabbing at what we have worked so hard to obtain so that we can enjoy the comforts of life. We want to be around like minded people who have similar experiences and educational and financial compatibility. But should we look down at those who do not meet our 'standards?' In a city the size of Atlanta, should this have been a new experience for him?

Some of the consequences in life may not be self inflicted. There are people who are mentally ill. There are people who just cannot find their way. There are people who just need a helping hand. There are people who have been torn down by the words and deeds of others and nothing you could ever say will lift them up, just be merciful. Jesus said there will always be poor among us. What was he saying? There is always room for service. Can we not be so high and mighty today? Can we lift someone else up today? Reach out to someone that you have felt 'too good' for. I can tell you that his smile, and the way his eyes lit up, were as beautiful as a baby's smile, and he was an old man 50 - 60 (old compared to a baby that is)
