ALLOW ME TO RE-INTRODUCE MYSELF……. THE OPTIMISTIC, PESSIMIST???
AM I JUST BIASED OR DO I TRULY HAVE A REASON TO FEEL THIS WAY?
The reason that I write today is because I am one of those people who really does not believe that my vote or anyone else's vote really counts. However, I am doing my best and playing my part to even prove myself wrong. I am a registered voter and as of 10/29/08 my wife and I casted our vote on the behalf of Barack Obama. To get right to the point, I do not have faith in the American People or government to do the right thing. I try not to get my emotions involved with this campaign because I feel that when November 4th rolls around somehow they are going to pull the carpet from right under our feet. When I say "they", I am not referring to just white people I am speaking about the powers that be. I am a firm believer that that there are groups that take a hand in controlling and manipulating the people whose sweat, blood and tears have built this country.
Example of the Power that be @ Work:
Ever since Bill Clinton was voted in as president we have seen record turnouts of minorities and new voters that increased every election but somehow Bush and all his lies was able to remain in office. Why wouldn't Al Gore fight for an election that he clearly won and why did John Kerry concede the same way? So I believe that if Obama wins he is part of a bigger plan and will eventually be dismissed as David Dinkins was after becoming the 1st and only black mayor of New York. Take a look at our (America) history and its treatment of Blacks and other minorities. Every time Blacks or any other minority started organizing and taking care of their own the government interfered by dismantling and destroying their progress citing that we were unpatriotic, communist and even racist(Black Wall Street, Black Panthers, MLK Civil Rights Movement). Fast forward 2008 Presidential Campaign, Barack Obama has been labeled an elitist, terrorist, socialist, and everything else that clearly goes against his character and what he proposes to do for this country.
As a Black man I have come to expect this from the powers that be but to still see in 2008 that a great portion of Americans are race driven and will not vote for someone because of race or color is very discouraging. I also failed to believe that anyone truly believes in McCain or Palin after all the question dodging and airhead responses that they both have given on simple questions. So what are the real reasons that people are supporting McCain and Palin? Why does it seem that McCain and Palin supporters are so angry with Senator Obama? Not only are they angry but are going to great extents to show there anger. There have been reports of people shouting racial slurs during McCain rallies, a supporter even went as far as falsely reporting that she was robbed and beat up by a black man enraged by her McCain and Palin bumper sticker. Then we have the scariest report of them all, two white supremacists were arrested for plotting the deaths of 88 black people, plans to behead 14 more and to finish off the killing spree with assassinating Barack Obama. What angers me about the whole thing is that there were reports that there would be increased security just in case Barack Obama does not win like we are going to start a riot or something. Barack Obama supporters are very passionate but we have not shown any evidence that we would be violent; however we can not say the same for the McCain supporters. So how much security will be increased if Obama wins? An even better question is when are we going to realize that black or white we ultimately want the same things and if we truly vote for the person with the better plan then everyone can have a piece of the pie instead of acting like we are bloods and crips fighting over turf that we do not own.
HOLLA@YA PEOPLE!

ALLOW ME TO RE-INTRODUCE MYSELF....IT'S YA BOOOOOOY!!!!!!!
Monday thru Friday I look forward to my daily routine of jumping in my energy efficient Nissan Sentra, hitting 285 east and listening to my favorite radio show “The Michael Baisden Show”. He is nationally syndicated in over 50 cities and can be heard world wide via internet between 3:00pm to 7:00pm eastern time. I love this show because… And I gotta throw this out there, but I think this dude stole my idea! This show is on some real Under The Shadetree type shizzle, Nah mean! Now I know Michael Baisden was no where in New Orleans secretly hiding at Kinko’s back in 1996 while we were plotting our next issue of Under The Shadetree but his show is based on the same principles of providing information to the masses with the sole purpose of empowerment and bringing the masses together on a common ground. Anyway while I was chasing females between Dillard and Xavier University, Michael Baisden was lighting up the airwaves with his own radio spot in New York. So I was just kidding about Michael Baisden stealing our ideas but it is a beautiful thing to see that great minds think alike. Knowing that sometimes all you need is a dream and the drive to make those dreams reality has been a great motivator to how I would like to live my life.
The other reason I dig this show is because there is no other show on free radio like this show. This show is totally “Out Of The Box” of any Talk Radio or Music radio format that is on the AM and FM dial. Now I haven’t broken down and created that other bill for satellite radio, but as far as that free radio goes with those commercials every five minutes, Michael Baisden got that time in my ride. If there is a social issue that needs to be discussed it most likely has been talked about on the Michael Baisden Show. The Michael Baisden Show is the show that got everything poppin in Jena, Louisiana (Jena 6).
I can remember the show when they started talking about the Jena 6 and if my memory serve me well the discussion got so live that the next few shows were completely engulfed with Jena 6 and similar cases throughout the U.S. Well, discussions of the Jena 6 continued and the Michael Bells case was approaching. Somewhere in the discussion Michael Baisden said to George and Juan Dee, “I’m going down there!” Before you knew it...calls were coming in from everywhere saying that they were going to ride with this brotha. I heard people calling in who were Caucasian, Asian, Latino, Black, and people who lived outside of our borders organizing to meet in Jena. That was a powerful thing that happened; all this man said on the radio was I am going to Jena. He did not asked anyone to come along, but of course his boys Juan Dee and George were down for the ride…..but because this man is so passionate in what he does the masses felt they had get down with the cause. Now that’s Shadetree! Passion, hard work, commitment and uplift. That is what you can expect from every project that Shadetree stamps it name on. So stay tuned, listen to a lil Michael Baisden and join in on the discussion and believe that you can make a difference.
I LOVE YALL!
