Hey guys I know its been a month or two and I apologized about that, but school was in full effect and I really had no time to blog until I got the rust off of me as it has been almost 15 years since I was in school. That being said I have something to get off my chest about this whole Sean Bell case.

I am just sick and tired of the whole fill a black man full of holes and nothing happens routine in NYC. It has become an epidemic in that city. And wha was Sean Bell’s crime or alleged crime? Being a black man, that’s it in a nut shell. Do we threaten most of the NYPD like that? Are we strike fear in a police force that one of the cops that got aquitted today shot into the car 31 count them, 31 times…. one cop. The offfice emptied a clip, reloaded and almost emptied another clip because they “thought” the men were carrying guns.

These are the modern day lynchings and it is just as legal and backed by the law as it was 50 years ago. When there are reports asking Barack Obama to prove how patriotic he is and how loyal he is to country, I don’t think it needs go any further then to look at the fact that black men can be killed at a moments notice in certain areas of the country and we are still here. Is there anything patriotic than that?

How can we feel safe as citizens if decisions like this is made. It is sign more death warrants for you black men. I hope everyone who was involved can sleep with an easy conscious know they have blood on their hands.

Well the day of love called St. Valentine’s Day is upon us and I was at the store getting some cards like the rest of the crowd. As I was looking around I just watch and noticed how much money we spend on this day!

You had guys buying for more than one girl which I thought was funny. Women carefully picking the out the right card for the right person. You had older guys looking totally lost. Now that is always entertaining. Just make a mental note that if you ever need cheering up goto a gift or card shop on the day before Valentine’s Day and the Day of Valentine’s Day, that is some entertaining is stuff .

But in the hustle and bustle to get that perfect gift, don’t forget to carry this love and appreciation beyond today. There are 364 more days left in the year so don’t minimize your relationships to one day. Tell them you love them tommorrow and don’t accept signs of affection on just one day. I hope you are know you are worth more than just one day!

That’s not to trash today because it is a good day for couples but just don’t let this one day be the sum of your relationship.

Other than that enjoy the day!

I came across an article that one of my “favorite” writers Jason Whitlock wrote about the new class of Hall of Fame inductees for 2008. Jason Whitlock basically goes on a rant about how this class is undeserving of the induction so honored to them. Whitlock rants on and on about how Fred Dean of the 49ers and Art Monk of the Redskins have no place in the HoF. My attention really came on Art Monk and how as Jason Whitlock stated that Art Monk had a really good career but not a Hall of Fame deserving career. Well Lets look at Art Monk’s career and really see if Jason Whitlock has any merit to his statement.

Let’s see, Art Monk is the first receiver in the NFL history to catch 900 career receptions. Monk also set the single season record for receptions with 106 that has since been broken. He also set the mark for the most consecutive games with a reception with 183 games. Did I mention 3 Super Bowl Rings????

The very fact that Jason Whitlock is blaming the cowardly writers for voting in players who do not deserve the induction is funny since he is in the same boat judging players on a professional game he has no experience in other than as a spectator.

Bottom line if Art Monk doesn’t deserve to be in the Hall of Fame than there are a lot of players that shouldn’t be there as well.

To Put it short, stop hatin because you never got to play pro football.

The “O” man, Barack Obama took it to Hillary Clinton this weekend, going 4 for 4 in Washington,Nebraska, Louisiana, and Maine. The first 3 states by a 2 to 1 margin. If this is any sign of things to come for Hillary Clinton, she maybe in trouble.

It has gotten alittle tense in Clinton land with Hillary Clinton replacing her campaign manager , Patti Solis Doyle, Doyle quit and was replaced by Maggie Williams another longtime aid.

If this weekend is any indication of what is to come for Hillary , she is in real trouble.

Next up, Chocolate City, Maryland, and Virgina. Yep Hillary is in real trouble
