Would you sell your soul for fame and fortune?Kalagenesis Poll.

In every movement,belief,ideal,people have to hold on to the core value of what defines a people.Its customs,beliefs,history,purpose,kinship,faith.All of these things and more make up core values of a people.These things unify a group of people like language and heritage.When people live by their core values and convictions you call that person 'principled'.We a person cares or does not have a core value they tend to be pleasure seekers and hedonist.Not always but most of the time.Now the best illustration of this is in the music industry.There used to be a time when artist sung songs about life and universal themes that uplifted their fellow man.The core value that all men are born with comes from God.God manifesting himself in human beings.We are the only creatures with a soul.Our soul enables us to survive hardship,know right from wrong.Be caring and most of all care about our fellow man.Yes we are men not some higher form of beast.We know right from wrong.God puts that in every man and woman.

When I look at the vermin,filth I see in the media I ask myself who are these people although rich continue to be used to promote counter culture,crime filth,greed,materialism?All the things that rot the soul and corrupt mankind.Well I know this people could have done what Lil Kim,50 cent,Young Jeezy,did 70 years ago but they didn'tThey refused to put on black face and coon for the world.You see once you sell your soul to the devil for fame and riches you cant come back from it.Your word is your bond.When you decide to make a song about murdering your enemies baby-Lil Kim,selling coke-Jeezy,people listen to that then go on thinking this is normal.Music is suppose to put people on the right path to inspire.You may sell half as many units but you are doing the right thing.How many good musicians are out there who will never be heard because they wont sell out?Many that is the sad part.

There is another side to this.One that every person at one time or another fantasized about.What would it be like to be a criminal?Someone that makes their own rules.Or a coon/sellout like Flavor Flav.He is making alot of money.Would you demean yourself the way James T Coon Harris did by begging John Mccain to to find and bring back the runaway slave Barack Obama?Would you sellout?Would you coon?Would you for a million dollars play Buckweat,or a mammy in the next IHOP commercial?Would you say things like" lawdy lawdy,Iz so full from these pancakes I am going to sleep for 5 days"?Would you support John Mccain like Jeezy once did.Would you diss Al Sharpton to sell more records like Lil Wayne.Would you call that racist Bill O'reilly, Mr O'reilly like Juan Williams did while he just calls you Jaun?Would you be a 40 million dollar slave like most Black athletes and entertainers? I know this is a White mans country and sometimes we are just surviving.But how much is your integrity worth?The poll question is would you coon,sellout,or compromise for fame and wealth?

Black girl lost

I remember back when I was a small boy we move from the poor but relatively stable neighborhood in South Jamaica Queens in N.Y.C.to the suburbs in upstate New York.The year was 1976.So long ago I barely can remember.The short but brief time period in an all Black community shaped the way I see the world today.Remembering images of beautiful sisters of all complexions walking hand in hand on school trips,to the bus stop,to the corner store.We would all sing black power slogans on the school bus(although most of us didn't know what we were saying).I was serounded by strong women who did not go there.What do I mean by go there?Look at the current black female singers,rappers,actress who paraded on our television every day as role models.I remember women who went to church stood by their husbands through thick and thin.I remember a time when it was a shame for a woman to be unmarried with kids.Even worst children by by many fathers.Look at Maury Polvich,Ricky Lake,Jerry springer.You see whorish women who think it is okay to disrespect men.It is okay for women to shake their ass on apoll as long as you are making money.I had this argument with a brother a few weeks ago and he told me "well some times a person has to do what hey have to do".I asked him well what about the kids,what should she tell them when they get older.He said they will understand.I said bull@##**!That kids life and innocence is gone and now society has one more burden in the criminal justice system.All because so woman couldn't keep her legs closed until the night of her wedding.Our community used to be the moral standard of the world.Many Black women have adopted the wicked ways of the sinful world.
The poster girl for Black girl lost is rapper Lil Kim.Point that is always missed in to days popular culture,is that most black females hate Lil Kim and what she stands for.In the neo minstrel age she is celebrated along with the other clowns we see in the entertainment media.Listening to her rap about getting even with men and using men the way they use us is an sin.She tells young girls to hate young boys and look for material and use your sexuality for material pursuit.In her world according to her latest song 'keep your lighters up'a 12 year old prostituting is something to brag about.Is Lil Kim our fault?Ive often ask myself that question.I mean not everyone had the love and family structure I Had so I might not be the best person to judge.But something deep down inside me tells me everyone knows right from wrong.We all bend the rules sometimes but we kept the strait and narrow.The problem is that in our current hip hop culture there is no one telling right from wrong.When our women turn on us and become our enemies we are domed as surely as Im sitting here.What am I saying?My mother,grandmother,aunts,cousins could have went there but they didn't.They stayed by their husbands,and in turned our families were raised and prospered.It wasn't hard.I am not impressed by how much money you make it me and nothing if you don't have peace and happiness.There are many Black girls lost in America AIDS,HIV,teen pregnancy,obesity,self hate.We can change this I remember the very early years of my youth when my beautiful sisters were walking hand in hand telling my mother if I did mischief.Arguing with me over a game of tag.Innocence of my youth.I pray those days come back for future generations to enjoy.
