The Flint Water Situation

First, I have heard about the Flint Water Situation for a minute. However, I am now just making a post about the situation. After praying about the situation and really getting into the full grasp of the destruction of the Flint residents by those who where sworn in to protect them, I felt some way for a while now.


When I think about the Flint Water situation, it truly does feel like Katrina all over again (the statement and feeling that was made a couple of weeks ago by someone other than me). I feel exactly like the dude who said that statement.


Flint is very poor and mostly black, and to see the conditions that those in "charge" put them in was shameful. The water is so dirty, lead-filled, and contaminated that it has been classified by many as CHEMICAL WASTE. The lead levels have been off the charts and are destroying our precious kids (children, little brothers/sisters for the youngsters).


What is happening is basically mass homicide. I mean, let's be frank and straight up. This is just dead wrong and someone needs to be criminally charged for letting this happen.


We as a people has suffered under oppressed for too long. I guess now, we can't even drink the country's water. From the Tuskegee Experiment, the Mustard Gas Experiment, and Hurricane Katrina,  this is just another way to harm black lives.


What is happening is inexcusable. This a another low blow. Poison Water? Really


That is again inexcusable.


I want to say more, but what can I say?


It's 2016 and this is happening.

FASFA

I try to explore different topics and ideas to discuss/share on the blog. While going through some papers and looking through some stuff, I remember that I forget to write about this topic. Therefore, today we are going to talk about FASFA. First, you may ask, "What is FASFA." FASFA is federal aid or money for going to college. Although they said "federal aid", it is basically tax that is set aside for students who want to go to college, but need money to help pay for college. FASFA is available to students who have need and are looking to attend college (certificate program, associate degree, or 4 year degree). You need to fill out FASFA every year. FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school. A simple summary is basically this: (1) Wait until you or parents file Income Tax (2) Go to this website- https://fafsa.ed.gov/ (3) Create a account (4) Fill out all of the informat...

Personal Finance for Black Males

I don't follow Kanye West on any social media outlet. I don't listen to any of Kanye West music, and when he become "Kanye West Kardishian", I really stopped listening to him. However, every since he was approaching his album release, he has been tweeting like a mad man. He has been trending non-stop on Twitter, and a lot of his tweets have been outrageous. However, one caught my attention and the attention of countless others. He stated in one of his tweets that he is "53 Million Dollars" in personal debt. Now, I think that Kanye is either a good actor or mentally insane. But, either way, if he owes 53 million dollars to anybody then this is beyond shameful. I heard that Kanye is begging Facebook's owner (Mark Zuckerberg) for money and is asking for people to pray for him. Now, I have zero sympathy for Kanye West. But, I do feel that he is not the same Kanye West that everyone respected. He is not the same Jesus Walks, Kanye. But, anyway this mad...
