The Mayan on the skin color black

Well this is a story that i read about the different colors that include red, brown, blue, green, white, yellow and black. I did a video representing the importance of my culture and though I shared it with all of you and hopefully you learned something. So here is the explanation of the color Black.

“From black came the light and from there came the stars which light up the sky around the world. He told us a story which said that a long time ago, the first gods were given the task of giving birth to the world. In one of their meeting they said it was necessary that the world have life and movement, and for this was necessary. Then they thought making the sun in order that the days move and so there would be day and night and time for struggling and time for making love, walking with the days and nights the world would go. The gods had their meeting and made this agreement in front of a large fire, and they knew it was necessary that one of them be sacrificed by throwing himself into the fire in order to become fire himself and fly into the sky. The gods thought that the work of the sun was the most important, so they chose the most beautiful god so that he would fly into the fire and become the sun. But he was afraid. Then the smallest god, the one who was black, said he was not afraid and he threw himself into the fire and became sun. Then the world had light and movement, and there was time for struggle and time for love, and in the day the bodies worked to make the world and in the night the bodies made love and sparkles filled the darkness.”

Questions you should ask yourself.

How would you respond to enslavement?
Ways that black people resisted?
Do you think you still are enslave why or why not?
Does Television, implements solutions to your life?
What do you think about the elite keeping you at the bottom floor or is your own people that keep black people down?
Why not do something about AIDS, domestic violence, media, and entertainment?
What is your purpose in life?
DO you think education is for your wealth and only for you or for others??

Conscious Music of My Listening ( if interested)

I like to explore music and my reach of music reaches from Rock Urbano, Deathmetal, Grindcore(my fav), jazz, hip hop, alternative and other form of music that just not express an emotion in music but have lyrics that have similarities in my life and maybe to you too. The problem for me is that when I try to listen to the radio, all I listen is false advertisement about how music is exploitated with no sense of wording but just beats. I want to have something I can listen to and bump me up instead of having me to think about clubbing, about getting down with Mujeres, to be a strong man and basically telling me what a person should be. Im done with a mediocre society full of isshhh.





























About Television and the Wrong Doing

1.TV viewing is probably replacing activities in your child' s life that you would rather have them do (things like playing with friends [6] , being physically active, getting fresh air, reading, playing imaginatively, doing homework [7], doing chores).

2.Kids who spend more time watching TV (both with and without parents and siblings present) spend less time interacting with family members. [8]

3.Excessive TV viewing can contribute to poor grades, sleep problems, behavior problems, obesity, and risky behavior.

4.Most children' s programming does not teach what parents say they want their children to learn; many shows are filled with stereotypes, violent solutions to problems, and mean behavior.

5.Advertisers target kids, and on average, children see tens of thousands of TV commercials each year [9]. This includes many ads for unhealthy snack foods and drinks. Children and youth see, on average, about 2,000 beer and wine ads on TV each year [10].


• Children learn to accept the stereotypes represented on television. After all, they see them over and over.
• When non-whites are shown on TV, they tend to be stereotyped.
• A review of the research on gender bias shows that the gender-biased and gender-stereotyped behaviors and attitudes that kids see on television do affect how they see male and female roles in our society.
• Television and movies do not often show Asians or Asian Americans, and when they do, they fail to show the diversity in Asian American culture [28].
• Thin women are disproportionately represented on TV. The heavier a female character, the more negative comments were made about her [29].
• In 1990's commercials, white men more often were depicted as strong, while white women were shown as sex objects. African American men more often were portrayed as aggressive, and African American women, as inconsequential [30].
• Ads for household items, like cleaning products, usually feature women [31].
• G-rated movies are commonly viewed by younger children—often over and over on DVD, and perceived by parents as safe for little kids. However, in these movies, whether live action or animated, males are shown more than females, by three to one, they are not often shown in relationships, and do not solve problems peacefully [32].
• In G-movies, characters of color are under-represented, and are usually shown as sidekicks, comic relief, or bad guys. Male characters of color are more aggressive and isolated [33].



The video on top is depicting a life about a young black man in a white dominating school. As you can see and hear, they say the word N in a children's channel. This show is in Nick, BET, TBS and ABC for my understanding. Here watch some more.

A note of appreciation from the rich

Here is a piece for all to read and think about more of who is in charge and who is actually making you what they want you to do.

Let's be honest: you'll never win the lottery.

On the other hand, the chances are pretty good that you'll slave away at some miserable job the rest of your life. That's because you were in all likelihood born into the wrong social class. Let's face it — you're a member of the working caste. Sorry!

As a result, you don't have the education, upbringing, connections, manners, appearance, and good taste to ever become one of us. In fact, you'd probably need a book the size of the yellow pages to list all the unfair advantages we have over you. That's why we're so relieved to know that you still continue to believe all those silly fairy tales about "justice" and "equal opportunity" in America.

Of course, in a hierarchical social system like ours, there's never been much room at the top to begin with. Besides, it's already occupied by us — and we like it up here so much that we intend to keep it that way. But at least there's usually someone lower in the social hierarchy you can feel superior to and kick in the teeth once in a while. Even a lowly dishwasher can easily find some poor slob further down in the pecking order to sneer and spit at. So be thankful for migrant workers, prostitutes, and homeless street people.

Always remember that if everyone like you were economically secure and socially privileged like us, there would be no one left to fill all those boring, dangerous, low-paid jobs in our economy. And no one to fight our wars for us, or blindly follow orders in our totalitarian corporate institutions. And certainly no one to meekly go to their grave without having lived a full and creative life. So please, keep up the good work!

You also probably don't have the same greedy, compulsive drive to possess wealth, power, and prestige that we have. And even though you may sincerely want to change the way you live, you're also afraid of the very change you desire, thus keeping you and others like you in a nervous state of limbo. So you go through life mechanically playing your assigned social role, terrified what others would think should you ever dare to "break out of the mold."

Naturally, we try to play you off against each other whenever it suits our purposes: high-waged workers against low-waged, unionized against non-unionized, Black against White, male against female, American workers against Japanese against Mexican against.... We continually push your wages down by invoking "foreign competition," "the law of supply and demand," "national security," or "the bloated federal deficit." We throw you on the unemployed scrap heap if you step out of line or jeopardize our profits. And to give you an occasional break from the monotony of our daily economic blackmail, we allow you to participate in our stage-managed electoral shell games, better known to you ordinary folks as "elections." Happily, you haven't a clue as to what's really happening — instead, you blame "Aliens," "Tree-hugging Environmentalists," "Niggers," "Jews," Welfare Queens," and countless others for your troubled situation.

We're also very pleased that many of you still embrace the "work ethic," even though most jobs in our economy degrade the environment, undermine your physical and emotional health, and basically suck your one and only life right out of you. We obviously don't know much about work, but we're sure glad you do!

Of course, life could be different. Society could be intelligently organized to meet the real needs of the general population. You and others like you could collectively fight to free yourselves from our domination. But you don't know that. In fact, you can't even imagine that another way of life is possible. And that's probably the greatest, most significant achievement of our system — robbing you of your imagination, your creativity, your ability to think and act for yourself.

So we'd truly like to thank you from the bottom of our heartless hearts. Your loyal sacrifice makes possible our corrupt luxury; your work makes our system work. Thanks so much for "knowing your place" — without even knowing it!

Against Racism and The Rebellion

“Those who quietly accepted their subservience deserved to remain slaves” (Wright, 102) a quote from an insurgent, Denmark Vesey. Denmark was a fascinating man in control of the uprising in Charleston. His uprising was one of the first calls to action against the ruling class in the 1820s that soon got crushed because of the panic of the state. The way it is seen to many people blinded, is that when you start to affect the pockets of the ruling class, they would want to stop the cause so they can continue to make money and keep the greed growing. However this did not stop from any other former slaves to actually retaliate.

Later in 1833 the hearing of Nat Turner that led a revolt against his bosses, his insurrection led to many other African Americans to revolt against such inhuman thoughts of black people being lower than the white Elite. Thomas Gray, a slaveholder, documented the confessions of Turner’s cause of revolt but many “...considered the document tainted because Gray was a white slaveholder, because he accurately saw profit in his sale of Tuner’s “confessions” and because he regarded Turner as a gloomy fanatic” (Wright, 108). No matter what people thought that Turner’s actions were bloody, he did find a way to fight for his freedom ‘cause of the decline of the economic status and this led Turner to use direct action in which he organize with other four slaves to revolt. Turner was called a fanatic because he would read the bible and preach that slavery was wrong and his backup was the written words of God. So this made people think that his excuse was god so he could kill 60 people and justify that enslavement was wrong. All of the insurrections that happen in those years led to one thing for sure, freedom costs people’s lives and a form of resisting which the ruling class that feared the people getting together is no different to another period in time like the 60s. The ruling class has a name for it too, do you know what is called or reminded you of?

Clotilda in 1860 might be the last slave-ship and that civil war ended “slavery”, does that mean racism and enslavement ended? So 40 acres and a mule is freedom?

A Form of Resistance



There is another type of conscious that resists, a way to actually create and have visuals for the people. It is not the little signs that government paint on capitalistic brand new signs like the stop, yield, Xing cross, no parking, welcome to Wal-Mart, or other type of street signs and corporations. The streets are talking to each other and a way to bring back unity amongst black, Latinos and white people. That is graffiti, an old medium that represented the masses of what their culture was and how they interact with each other. Graffiti can be any form of lettering that emphasizes the use of colors and imagination of the artist. As being part of the four elements in hip hop. Music has always supported graffiti on underground levels as long as media represents on real self-empower motivation. Graffiti has in fact liberated people that there is no hope involve in gangs like PHIB, a graffiti artist, said “I liked the independence of non-gang graffiti, doing it when and how I liked. I feel sad for my friends that stayed in that life and aren’t doing anything with their lives except being in and out of jail. Some of them look at me and realize I made the right decision to leave that behind. Graffiti has the potential to be taken in a direction that better benefits yourself and your family” (Grody, 210).

Graff as a part of resistance. I would consider this as street art, many might have a different approach about graffiti but know that an idea becomes a piece. Graff when it started to have color, transform from the 60s. graff came way before there were styles in graff. The problem now is that on this lands, there are buildings, walls made of bricks cement and laws. Expressing your thoughs are a major part of your life, sort of like your imagination on a wall where people can analyze and admire your work. Today, graffiti is known as vandalism, as a waste of creativity to "artist" that prefer oil painting, acrylic painting or murals but what they dont understand is that this feeling of expression comes from a social change to political views in our communities. African Americans learn this from 2 centuries ago to present. Pioneers that still exist today gather up and do a pieces on a wall with the intention to build conscious and awareness to the masses like the unknown guy at the bottom of this writing...

“tens of thousand of dollars… a youth offender’s probation remains open as long as a given fine remains unpaid — meaning that in some cases, the book is never closed, and youthful indiscretion can be converted to a lifelong adversarial ethic.” (VC reporter, Scolari).Graffiti is a start of a social movement where artist get together in black book sessions. These black book sessions consist of a gathering where artist exchange ideas and interact. Even as today’s policies attack youngsters, here at home the citations are illogical “a youth offender’s probation remains open as long as a given fine remains unpaid — meaning that in some cases, the book is never closed, and youthful indiscretion can be converted to a lifelong adversarial ethic” (Scolari).
