I think in this context, they’re absolutely necessary. The Internet is like a bunch of fast food restaurants, all within a click’s reach, yelling at your face:
“HEY YOU. READ MY SHIT.”
“NO, READ MINE.”
“YOU’VE GOTTA READ THIS SHIT.”
“THIS SHIT IS VERY PERTINENT RIGHT NOW.” “
“IF YOU DON’T READ THIS, YOU’LL NEVER BE A GOOD“<>
While some nutritionists might tell you that calorie counting and portion control aren’t necessary for a healthy lifestyle, I want to appropriate them for discussing content consumption.

While people argue about what is real and fake news the widening gulf of inequality in the real world only continues to expand. This is actually happening and for the ultra wealthy that hold most of the wealth, all of this distraction is a good thing. The latest wealth report from Deutsche Bank

My Comments: If you are white, black, brown, pink or whatever the hell you claim, this is the shit you should be worried about. The rich are protected, they are your government and they could give a fat baby’s ass whether you have health care, dying from drug overdose in Appalachia in your rundown mobile home or gunshots in ghetto streets.
But I ramble – what I really intend to say is this – listen up my so called “white” brethren – the rich folks who pander to your ignorance, with nasty racism and bigotry, will grind your neck into the ground. I don’t really give two shits if you believe me or not, but look at the numbers – your numbers are trending down – your life expectancy in trending south – who is responsible for that? Our country is ruled by the rich – how are they working for you? And yeah a self proclaimed rich “white/orange” rapist starts swearing and you call it authenticity (he is mimicking what he sees as your language) – welcome to the world as the top 0.1% concentrate wealth and power.
Black folks have been living in this hell for a long time now – we are a hardy people and we are not going anywhere. We won’t help to carry your body to it’s final rest, if you don’t give a shit right now. Keep it moving.

Schools should be held to higher standards than students. If schools irresponsibly impose discipline practices, then those rules (or leaders) should be expelled. However, when it comes to discipline, we give students the cane and schools a slap on the wrist.

Comments: The punishment of black and brown people start early. The devaluing of our lives starts from the earliest ages. This narrative will change – by the hook or the crook.

It’s a terrible waste of taxpayer money.
Since 1990, state and local spending on prisons and jails has risen more than three times faster than spending on schools, according to a new Department of Education report released Thursday.

My Comments: Embarrassingly nasty statistics. I live in Florida and don’t want my F’king money spent on locking up my brothers and sisters.

More to the point, why do we unquestioningly “love” certain actors and instinctively, almost reflexively, “hate” others? In the vortex of 24/7 celebrity infotainment, it’s now impossible to watch performers on screen without being aware of their off-screen lives. Although I approached “The Meddler” with hesitation because of Byrne, others might avoid it because they can’t stand the politics of her co-star, Susan Sarandon.

Both Democrats and Republicans are in this game together. They only differ in minor ways. That is why this year with Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump having success, it is surprising to hear from candidates that are so far on both sides of the spectrum but both are echoing one similar message – the system is rigged. The public seems to know this and actually wants to hear this message from outsiders. It is funny how party insiders on both sides resent Trump and Sanders.Both Trump and Sanders say things that don’t fall in line with their party.

My Comments: Really disheartening looking at the bluntness of this blatantly cruel act.
