2014 Pt.1

2014

The Fiva World Cup was amazing, soccer has finally grown more popular in the U.S this year for some particular reason. The little league World Series was also amazing this year with an outstanding female pitcher and its first all African American champions on the American side. 

2014 has been a different year Joan Rivers passed away.

Mike Brown gets killed ruthlessly by the police in Ferguson, meanwhile Robin Williams commits suicide.

The late great Robin Williams by the way a man that has made us laugh hard for decades just like Joan Rivers.

Rap music continues to get worst, continues to poison our community and our people, it's just bad. 

And in the streets overdoses on herion continues to rise year by year.

Obama is still taking a beating by the republicans and everyone else even while people are working, the housing market hasn't collapsed, and so much more, so much more, the president has done a lot of good for this country and yeah he may have made some mistakes but who on this earth hasn't and could you walk in that man shoes, take all the pressure and hatefulness that he takes. 

It's 2014 and racism still seems to be at an all time high, it's sad, it really is, I don't understand it how we focus on living life and making the best of it and others focused on us and destroying our lives but it goes back and forth cause there are racist blacks just like racist whites. It just hurts cause you never hear about the cops or anyone else accidentally killing a young white male but it happens to us all the time.

I'm off that and still that is why I love football or that is one of the many reasons is that their are people from all different races, cultures, genders, sizes and shapes and ages that participate in the game of football and that has become one of the main reasons for loving football, this is a sport I loved since I could remember.

And in basketball Lebron shocked the world when he said that he was coming home, wow!!!

Oh yeah and in college football this is the first year there is going to be a playoffs and a championship game to determine the true number one team in the country, this is something we been talking about ever since I was a kid and here we go in 2014.

This has definitely been an interesting year with more to talk about personally, socially, and more so stay tuned as we look upon 2014. 

Ohio pt.1

Ohio

Born and raised in Ohio, 

Youngstown, Ohio to be specific, most critics look down on my small little city like its the slums, far from pretty but like its grimy and gritty. Youngstown or Da Yo for short has all kinds of positives in it, around it and about it such as the local university has built a lot of new and nice facilities and not just on campus buildings are being put up but also around the city there are grocery stores and gas stations being built which is cool because this is happening in areas that need these places. There are more small businesses opening up everyday in my city which is another positive that is taking place here in Da Yo, a city so small it forces you to dream big, really big, extra big cause we know that there is a great big beautiful world outside of this little city and to get a glimpse of something better all we got to do is jump on the freeway and head to Cleveland bypassing Akron, Ohio which is a small city just like Youngstown it may be a little bigger, Akron is where the king of the court Lebron James was born and raised to by the way also is the home of Good year tire. 

So we head to Cleveland where you can catch a Cleveland Cavs, Browns or an Indians game. Cleveland has the best downtown in Ohio it gets live and the people of Cleveland are about their fashion. 

When we get through with Cleveland then we head to Columbus, Ohio which houses the most beloved team in Ohio which is The Ohio State buckeyes football team, O state most Ohioans pride and joy. Ohio state school is viewed as one of the best schools in the country. Columbus is our state capital and probably the biggest and nices city in Ohio full of opportunities, this is a city that many Ohioans flee to on a mission to live a better life. 

Ohio the home of many rich and famous people you may have heard of like Rockafella, George Steinbrenner, The Warner bros., Dave Chappelle, Halle Berry, Sara Jessica Parker, and so many more, this state has produced six or seven U.S presidents I don't remember the exact amount at the moment. 

Ohio is home and not as country as most outsiders would think, beautiful in the fall and spring to me, it can get hot in the summer, and cold as all hell in the winter. 

In Ohio I've had some of my greatest days and some of the worst, while watching many of my family members pass away and friends murdered and also sent to prison for a lifetime. 

This state has made me the man I am today and the writer/author I am today, the father that I am today. 

This is where I'm from and still I have more to touch on, more cities to speak about that lay here in this state. So until next time pick up one of my books or all three of the books I got out with another one coming out any day now. 

You see I was born and raised in Ohio. 

The New Deal pt.1

Several times I've heard people making comments about the majority of minorities being democrats and have also questioned the structure of our political system, asking why it is the way that it is? Well, much of the current framing of the government and the American society is because of The New Deal that took place under Franklin Delano Roosevelt terms, he promised the American people a new deal and that is what he gave us.The New Deal was a series of national programs that took place in the United States between 1933-1936 which involved laws passed by congress and presidential executive orders during Roosevelt's first term. The programs were put in place because of the great depression and these programs focused on relief, recovery and reform also known as the 3r's. The New Deal caused a political realignment and the democratic party held the white house for 7 out of 9 political terms from 1933-1969. Republicans split into conservatives and liberals. The conservatives opposed The New Deal saying that it was an enemy of business and growth, while liberals was with some of The New Deal and promised to make it work better. By 1936 the term liberal typically was used for supporters of The New Deal. 1934-1936 began the shift of political parties for African Americans, Roosevelt appointed an unprecedented number of blacks to second-level positions in his administration, these appointees collectively were called the black cabinet, at the same time Eleanor Roosevelt was one of The New Dealers that worked to ensure that blacks received at least 10% of there welfare assistance payments. In 1932 most African Americans voted for the republican ticket that began to change from 1934 and it was The New Deal and it's policies that helped establish a political alliance between blacks and the democratic party that survives up into the 21st century, up into this very day.
