The root of all evil

When i say this statement you probably think of the parable you was taught and say that it is money, but allow me to paint some pictures for you.

senario 1

a hot hair salon women getting there weave sown in, hair straightener curling irons moving swiftly pass some big old earrings.

senario 2

a bunch of youth hanging on the street corner by corner store spray paint on the shutter speaking the language of the street, broken english, slang, dressed in hoodies ect.

lets try another alternative

senario 3

wimbledon white vests pleated skirts bereave of choice pimms

senario 4

packed out stadium people flooding the doors hard beats pumping coming to see the people proclaimed greatest hip hop artist that ever blessed the mic.

i could go on but i digress, only you can fill in the blanks with your mental imagery, and paint the rest of the portrait in your mental of all the scenes i have presented.

so take a minute think about it "matter fact you should take 4 beat ....couldnt resist"

read the scenarios one more time and this time i want you to really paint a vivd picture of them all.

im gonna go on the basis that most people are predispose to put these certain circumstances to lets say differing characteristics.

so for example if i say weave

whats the 1st thing you think of?

slang?

tennis?

hip hop?

rock and roll?

and by now I'm sure your logic has reduced and whittled down what i am saying, though some people will deny there thoughts or remain oblivious to the point that I'm making, if you haven't got what I'm talking about. i am talking about.........

i seen a very good post the other day

This is why people take ownership, and warped views been imposed upon people because of history, Wetherby study or blind observation. when what was fact 10 years ago is fiction now. If you have a lazy brain you are the reason for this culture. There is something I've grown up to realise is that some of the people that have these views as across the board, from university graduates to the unemployed.

You are your culture history is not you are your culture, not your environment not your education but your craft

. All my teaching comes from hip hop I study the Quadrivium because that is culture. hiphop elevates minds and it has no face anyone can master it's essence, it brings races together and breaks down hate at lease it supposed to. This is one reason why ISIS "if it's even real" is so powerful because it has no face. So to

let me leave you with these images
