Well, well, boys and girls, time to get serious for a change.
North American blacks are leading a truly schizophrenic existence, and I don’t think it’s doing them any good!
The reason I mention this is because there is a new TV show premiering tonight called “Black-ish” and it throws a light on some very real conditions in the black community!
Apparently, in the season premier, the dad of the family is quoted as saying that he has to act more “urban” at work in order to get ahead, but at home he expects his family to act more “black” in keeping with their culture.
HERE’S THE POINT KIDS!
Just as the Native American culture doesn’t do the Indians any favours, so too does the “black” culture denigrate and belittle African-Americans by it’s very nature!
The reasons behind this are basically very simple folks.
Black culture is a ghetto culture born out of oppression and ignorance.
The entire group has grown to emulate the uneducated ghetto-speak of inner-city kids, plus rapper and “gangsta” lifestyles ….., and this is NOT the way to get ahead in middle-class America.
In other words, it’s not for anyone who aspires to join the middle-class!
Being proud of your oppression, and turning it into a rallying point is one thing folks, but defining yourself by those parameters is self defeating, and ultimately destructive!
Just ask Bill Cosby!

Speaking about Indians:
With a decision imminent on the Site C hydroelectric project in northeastern British Columbia, area First Nations have delivered a message to the provincial government: You can have the dam or you can have liquefied natural gas but you will not get both.
Chief Roland Willson of the West Moberly First Nation said his community has title to the Peace River valley under an 1899 treaty, and a recent decision from the Supreme Court of Canada has bolstered their say in any industrial development on that land.
The band is not opposed to resource development, Willson said, but it has issued an ultimatum.
“I’ve said you can’t have both,” Willson said in an interview. “If you want to push Site C, we’re not going to be in favour of any LNG projects.

If either one is O.K. then what the hell is wrong with BOTH for the economic development of the Province, and the enrichment of the natives?
BUT NOOOOOooooo! They have to be contrary just for the hell of it! (And a little power-play!)

Hey, ladies and gentlemen, I need your attention NOW!
A ringleader of the so-called Toronto 18 who plotted to storm Parliament and behead politicians is now seeking parole.
Fahim Ahmad pleaded guilty in the middle of his 2010 trial to participating in a terrorist group, importing firearms and instructing his co-accused to carry out an activity for a terrorist group.
He was sentenced to 16 years in prison but received a credit of 8 1/2 years for the more than four years he spent in custody awaiting trial.
During trial, court heard Ahmad held training camps in the Ontario wilderness and told recruits the group would target legislative buildings in Ottawa, electrical grids and nuclear stations.
The group was rounded up in the summer of 2006 in an anti-terrorist operation that made headlines around the world.
Ahmad will face a panel from the Parole Board of Canada today at the Millhaven Institution, a maximum-security prison for men in Bath, Ont.
In handing down his sentence four years ago, the judge who oversaw the trial said he believed Ahmad had a chance at rehabilitation.
Ahmad wrote a letter to the court, claiming to have grown respectful of the beliefs of others during his time at Toronto’s Don Jail.
His wife and father-in-law also submitted letters describing him as having a more moderate and tolerant stance.[sic]

Memory, in an evolutionary sense, is about survival, says Dr. Sheena Josselyn, a senior scientist at the Hospital For Sick Children Research Institute in Toronto.
It is our warning system to prevent us from repeating dangerous actions.
But traumatic memories, such as those in the brains of people with PTSD, can interfere with daily living. They can cause sleeplessness, or if sleep comes, disturbing dreams.
They can bring moments of anxiety and can make normal relationships with others impossible.
In her lab, Josselyn is working to find a way to delete, or at least dampen, the fear associated with traumatic memory.
Current research says a memory is located in various parts of the brain. The neurons, or brain cells, that are encoded with the fear are in one part of the brain while other parts of the memory are elsewhere.
Josselyn, working with rodents in the lab, is developing ways of locating the group of neurons that hold the fear. Once she has that, then she hopes to target just those cells chemically and disrupt their ability to keep that fear encoded.
“We’re not there yet,” she says, but “we’re certainly getting close in rodents.”
“I think one day, hopefully in the not-too-distant future, we will be able to delete a memory.”

There, now that we have that serious shit out of the way: Like to start your morning with the taste of Guinness? You’re in luck: Starbucks is testing a new latte flavor called Dark Barrel, which contains a syrup reminiscent of a dark beer!
(Somehow that just seems wrong!)
