The real new world order is upon us and it has nothing to do with sitting and protesting in the streets. The new world order consists of intelligence, increased intelligence to compete and win in the global marketplace.
The real new world order is upon us and it has nothing to do with sitting and protesting in the streets. The new world order consists of intelligence, increased intelligence to compete and win in the global marketplace. It is not time to rest and think because you got a Bachelor’s Degree 10 years ago, that you are good. You must continue to educate yourself at such a high level that simply no one can turn away from the knowledge and applied education that you have.
I’m not saying to because a career life long student and keep studying for the rest of your life but I’m saying this: the new world order is trying to replace all Americans in the job force each and every day. You don’t stand a chance unless you are completely refined and chiseled. Is it hard work? Hell yes! Here’s an example to illustrate my exact point:
I was in an executive meeting the other day. They asked me to introduce myself and tell about myself. I shut it down with this one thing. I told them my background. I spoke about the clients that I have serviced in the past including The Home Depot, Lucas Arts and Entertainment, SEGA of America, and Oracle. I told them I had been around the block. I then told them that I am presently in graduate studies at The Stanford School of Engineering studying machine learning Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Studies, and Extreme Database Design. I shut it down.
You need to be like an athlete in the new world order. The best football players and wide receivers and defensive backs have separating ability. In other words, they can separate from the opponent and cannot be caught. This is what separates the best athletes from the regular pro athletes. Separation ability. This is the new world order. You MUST create separation and niche education that separates you from everyone will do this.
Stay focused and start to get into distance learning where it doesn’t require you to drive to a campus if you can’t go there. Turn off the TV and focus on the classes. You MUST separate. Do it.

You don’t have to be Mr. Super Dad of the Year just do regular stuff like call your child each day, talk to them, know exactly what’s going on in their world. Know their teacher, know their struggle, know who they are friends with, know your kid.
We simply need to stop this practice of bailing out on our kids and just being up and out and leaving. How can any black man expect to get respect if you up and bail out on your own kids. I don’t care what type of drama you have with the child’s mother. I also don’t care about what age you are. If you can lie down and have the baby, man the F*** UP and raise your child!
You don’t have to be Mr. Super Dad of the Year just do regular stuff like call your child each day, talk to them, know exactly what’s going on in their world. Know their teacher, know their struggle, know who they are friends with, know your kid. I don’t know why people think this is so damn tough to accomplish. If that’s tough to accomplish, you will never accomplish much else in your world.
Also, don’t think that when you hit the age of 60+ that your kid is going to be welcoming you with open arms because they longed for you as a kid. I have personal experience with this and I’ll tell you this: I am not open arms welcoming the person who fathered me and bizounced when I needed him the most. I remember the days of wanting a dad there when things were difficult. He never was. When it’s time to come around when you’re old and you wake up and want your kid to be there for you, they might just reciprocate and return the favor you did to them. Man the F*&(* UP!

“The Black press and the progressive media, as well as Black civil rights organizations, have historically played an essential role in the struggle for social justice. We should continue and expand that tradition. We should create media outlets that help to educate our people and our children….”
“Like most poor people in the United States, I have no voice. The Black press and the progressive media, as well as Black civil rights organizations, have historically played an essential role in the struggle for social justice. We should continue and expand that tradition. We should create media outlets that help to educate our people and our children, and not annihilate their minds. I am only one woman.
I own no TV stations or radio stations or newspapers. But I believe that people need to be educated as to what is going on and to understand the connection between the news media and the instruments of repression in America. All I have are my voice, my spirit and the will to tell the truth. But I sincerely ask those of you in the Black media, those of you in the progressive media and those of you who believe in truth and freedom to publish my story.’ -Assata Shakur

I no longer felt as passionately about the death penalty as I did on the day that Troy Davis was set to be executed. Troy Davis’ story was a little different to me but was it really different to the officer who got killed and his family?
Last night, I was watching First 48 on television which is a show that highlights murders and violent crime in America and then shows the first 48 hours following the violent crime and the cops and detectives charged with trying to find out the details of the crime. I never watch this show and can’t stand the violence seen in the African American community in these shows, however, I just happened to watch last night with Troy Davis’ execution fresh on my mind and the minds of the American public.
On the show, I saw young black brotha’s killing one another in cold blood execution style and it made me think about my real opinion on the death penalty. Was I against the death penalty or was I simply for saving Troy Davis from being executed because of the details of the Troy Davis case? I had to truly gut check this and think about it. When I saw young cats murder an innocent African American family man who had a loving wife and 2 little daughters, I quickly changed my stance on the death penalty.
I no longer felt as passionately about the death penalty as I did on the day that Troy Davis was set to be executed. Troy Davis’ story was a little different to me but was it really different to the officer who got killed and his family? The bottom line is that someone got shot and killed just like I watched on First 48. I can honestly say that seeing murder like that makes me re-think my stance on this capital punishment issue in America and it really makes you almost want the people who commit these type of murders to die as well.
I saw some young cat kill his entire family and then beg for mercy and forgiveness and plead for his life because he was scared of being put to death. What! How can this cat be scared for his life yet take the life of his aunt, her son, and her 12 year old daughter? Why is he scared? And, the real question for me personally is, why should his life be spared? I know it’s a question of ethics but it’s a tough question. It’s a question I think should be weighed on a case by case basis.

EDUCATION is the only way. A true higher education in something in America that is the future and entrepreneurial. YOU MUST take it upon yourself to get this education and find the free education to do so.
In case you didn’t notice, there are class wars jumping off right underneath your nose in America. Don’t believe me. Look around you. Are there any jobs? Sure there are but they are pushing those jobs overseas. The middle class is being decimated and America will be simply a country of haves and have nots. No one will care about the lower class structure as everyone will be trying to survive. But how do you survive in a class war?
EDUCATION is the only way. A true higher education in something in America that is the future and entrepreneurial. YOU MUST take it upon yourself to get this education and find the free education to do so. For example, Stanford University offers free courses in Databases, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning which I am taking personally. Why take these? I told you before, we are in a class war. The more I’m armed and ready, the more you cannot shake me and force me into economic slavery.
The streets are going to be littered with people who did not make it in the next 5 years due to the economy. Which side will you be on?
