BHM... again

Hello, World... if you've been anywhere in the United States during the last 22 or so days you'll notice that we are in the middle and near end of the complete circus act called "Black History Month".

Case In Point: Yesterday at a discussion about Somali culture and history because afterall yesterday was Somali Day as part of the Pan African Conference which was part of the BHM celebration. A crowd of about 250 somali high school kids walked in with about half of them on their cell phones while some Somalian professor from the University of Minnesota was on stage discussing Somali culture. It was a gotdang mess, and then some asian guy walked on stage and told the professor that he'd run outta time... 45 minutes into the discussion. He looked PISSED as hell, and went on to critisize the mediocre planning on the event and the entire somali audience in general for being talkative as they were and not giving a funk about what he was talking about--- THEM. Minutes later... SOLO a Hawaiian guy walks on stage and in my best effort to reitterate what he said, it went something like this:

" hey, hey you illiterate little kids in the audience today! Don't y'all see this man up here trying to talk about y'all culture and y'all just bring y'all illiterate and stupid assesin here trying to mess shit up?! Shouldn't y'all be more concerned about y'all own culture than other people are?! Why don't y'all pay attention and then y'all probably make something better of y'all selfs"

...a.nd the entire Somali groups began to clap... and every white or non-Somali person in the room incuding myself look bafled, is this right or should we be cupping our faces in our hands in shame some of us were thinking.... in the words of my bud Dirty Dave: "Oy, Vey!"

So as you can all see, world. The entire thing was a mess and it's always been that way for the three years that I've been at MSU.

It's even more circus like here at school where during Febuary it seems like the campus gets even louder and things just seem a bit more disorganized . I realize what the office of Institutional Diversity is trying to do here at school but you won't make most of the people here think a little different about diversity by just dumping high school kids from north Minneapolis and letting them run amock on campus... I think that might have quite the opposite effect.

Things seem to go in reverse or opposites here on compus during Black History Month. Africans all decked out in FUBU while Americans don ready- made Kente clothings and dashikis. Yesterday, I was a part of the tour given by MSU AMBASSADORS to prospective students from high schools all over the Twin Cities as part of Somali Day included in the BHM celebrations. A little nervous at first trying to lead about 150 around campus and show them why they should make the school their choice while have EVERYONE talking at the same time, and when I say EVERYONE.... I mean EVERYONE. It got to be pretty funny at the end after talking to everyone for a while.

Anyways, things have been a bit hectic and I've been trying to get everything straight to make me some money in the summer.... because I need it... REAL BAD.

So what have I been up to?
1. Applying to be an ORIENTATION PEER ADVISOR
2. Being an MSU AMBASSADOR
3. Studying to get some scholarships by next year
4. Working here and there
5. Making some Music ( I TRY)
6. Working on my WEBSITE
7. Watching some movies
8. Plotting how to easily get rich quick and easy ( might be impossible for me)
9. Trying to write for the MSU REPORTER ...again

Oh well.... we'll see what happens World. Peace.

United States of Stupidity

Somethings about the news make you wonder if some people really have some common sense. Things will always be what they are, stupid people get to be in high places while even stupider people advise them on how to run an average brained population.

Watching the news yesterday or a two days ago, I saw the so called scare that happened in Boston after a marketing campaign for the show Aqua Teen Hunger Force went horribly wrong because police other law enforcement agencies had mistaken the blinking boxes with a cartoon character for bombs. Similar signs had been placed in New York and L.A but being that people in Boston were actually retarded idiots who had no children and never ever watched television, the cartoon character on the boxes were mistaken for messages on bombs. All of this problem could have been solved if only the chief of Boston police was a 13 year old kid who would actually understand that terrorist have no real clue what Adult Swim is or what the show Aqua Teen Hunger Force actually was about.

Speaking of Police, this story is just too unreal. I'd have more to say but its almost shocking and very sad. The poor woman had no one on her side. I just hope that she can get a stupendously large sum of money from the city of Kansas, MS. Although no amount of money could alleviate the kind of pain she suffered and will continue to suffer. Why do police always assume that someone they're talking to is lying? I thought it was 'To Protect and Serve'... whatever, thats all bullshit that only suburban soccer moms believe anyways.

On another story regarding police. A sheriff's wife was killed somewhere in Florida after two men followed her from the grocery store. She calls her husband to tell him what was happening and he responds with two deputies and one of them ends up getting killed. The sheriff survives but his wife and the two gunmen are killed.
... something smells fishy to me. You sure about your story there sheriff?

I was actually watching T.V not too long ago and happened to come upon Fox News when I saw something about an alert flashing in ridiculously huge red letters.
It read: ALERT : San Francisco Mayor Newsom apologizes for affair with aide's wife
Fox News happened to run the entire interview while Gavin Newsom apologized for what had happened. He appeared very honest and didn't try to hide anything, so I don't feel like theres going to be any hoopla about it, I was a bit disappointed though because Newsom was one of the best Mayors in the country and he'd run San Francisco very well and included everyone in the city governing effort.
Anyway, at this time Fox was the only cable news or news network foro that matter running this press conference. I think it had something to do with the fact that Newsom is a Democrat and fiercely liberal. I just hope that it doesn't change anything within San Francisco and that those affected by the scandal can reconcile things and get on with what they do best.
