 Highline is a strange venue in that it allows, even encourages rampant blazing of the finest herbs throughout its space. The night's host, performers and patrons blow blunts as casually as children blow bubbles with their gum. The last time I was there Action Bronson threw an ounce of weed worth of gram bags out to the crowd. You've never seen stoners run so quickly and aggressively, and almost trample their fellow tokens for a dub sack.

 I have been astounded by the broad range of criticisms that President Obama has faced during his first term in office. The fact that so many people typify him as a weak and ineffective leader is astounding to me. The President might as well change his name to Barack “Charlie Brown” Obama, because this President gets no respect. Never in the history of this nation has a President had to endure a disrespectful outburst from a member of Congress during one speech and rudely visible vociferous reactions from a Supreme Court Justice during another. I just don’t see that happening to a Caucasian President by Black member of Congress or a Black Supreme Court Justice.
President Obama has had his citizenship challenged, birth place contested, and racial epithets of every type thrown his way. While it is sad the level of disrespect that this President has had to endure, it is equally amazing that he has the strength of character to maintain his calm demeanor. I can understand Republican vociferously attacking the President on every issue imaginable, but what I can’t understand is the criticisms from the left. |

 The NBA has always been a racially polarizing sport. Two powerful examples of this are (1) the 1991 Charles Barkley fan spitting incident and (2) the infamous 2004 Piston-Pacers brawl starring Ron Artest and a drunken Caucasian fan. Barkley embarrassed himself by mistakenly spitting on a young female fan in reaction to being taunted with racial epithets by another fan. Fortunately, he made things right by apologizing to, and subsequently befriending, the girl’s family. The Ron Artest incident was instigated by a drunken felon. Despite this, the NBA suspended 9 players for significant periods for entering the stands and fighting. To mainstream America, the modern NBA players has become a symbol of the arrogant, ignorant, impetuous, and border line criminal Black Athlete. To them, the NBA is a proverbial inner city high school with Commissioner David Stern acting as no nonsense Principal.

 Immmmm Baaacckkkk!!! (In my T.I. voice) and to be quite honest Im happy that Mr. Kwesi has still allowed me access to blog for the website considering its been a very long time since my last blog. Okay now that I have gotten that out the way lets proceed to the moment you all have been waiting for. One of the hottest topics of 2011 was Beyonce's pregnancy, which was confirmed via the MTV Video Awards during pre-show and once she hit the stage for her performance later that night. It sent shockwaves through the entertainment world as well as Twitter which blew up with an unprecedented amounts of tweets per minute or whatever. You get it! Everybody was buzzing about Mr. and Mrs. Carter expecting their first child. January 7, 2012 Beyonce Carter gave birth to a baby girl; Blue Ivy Carter. Now in light of all the controversial stories I have read or been informed about surrouning Beyonce, Jay-Z ,and their new bundle of joy; Im simply taking a completely different route from those rather their true or false. There is no point in feeding into the ignorance and foolishness of people who are looking for nothing more than a overnight come up.
