If You Want To Get With Waka Flocka, You Have To Get in good With His Mama

Bout to read the comments but this heffa gets no respect from me. Besides the fact that the artists she represents (past and present ) are garbage, untalented, and a major part of what is wrong with the music industry today, she willingly knowingly has placed her son in the line of fire, put her baby’s life at risk all to turn a profit. That boy hasn’t been out a year yet he’s already been shot, shot at and every time you hear his name its generally something negative and his albums not even out. God forbid, that child loses his life and she’ll be the main one crying, sobbing and acting out for the cameras, asking that the violence stop, crying woe is me when she had the power to stop it from the beginning. She as his mother and manager had the opportunity to steer his career in a positive direction instead she enlisted Gucci of all people as his mentor in the industry and whatever happens to that child is her fault. She gets no respect from me and I don’t see how anyone knowing this can speak positively about her. Good deeds in the community don’t define a truly good person, hell dope boys give out free turkeys at Thanksgiving. Money is the root of all evil and I pray she doesn’t feel the pain so many mothers in the world feel when the violence she helps promote claim their children. Smdh off to read comments now

@tampa, you have a point but its not neccesarily being bitter and stand up and make your own destiny is a great concept but its also a selfish concept making people believe that they don’t need others, that they only need to worry about themselves to succeed and caring for others is not needed or required. Unfortunately its more than a few videos and mags pushing the image that is out there about us right now. Every reality show almost is filled with desperate black women who will do and say anything to win a man they know little about other than he is rich and famous, SR’s favorite reality show Tiny and Toya is promoting their ignorance and family problems while failing to glorify the strength of the black woman, talk shows are filled with black women who can’t speak clearly, barely can read and usually don’t know who their baby daddy is, turn on the news and you see negative stories and exposes on single black women who’ve lost their kids, are beyond ghetto or talking about how they can’t get a man, black female entertainers are basically strippers and porn stars with mediocre flows or talent, a blind person could see that this is more than just a few media outlets and magazines destroying the image of the black woman and its worse for the black man. They’re being taught that if they don’t have a baller or thug image that they aren’t “real”, that education and speaking properly equals selling out and that we don’t want them. So they try to live up to that lifestyle and find themselves in jail, on drugs because weed and syrup is cool, dope boys on the corner so they can have the latest clothes and car, that monagamy is for sissies and going elsewhere for love. I know a young black man who thought he was destined to be no good and stayed away from black women because all he heard growing up was his mother teaching his sisters not to date black men cause black men aren’t shit, they can’t provide and they’re dogs. By the time I met him that thought was so ingrained in his mindset that he couldn’t believe it was wrong. Yes, good black men and women are out there, no one is saying that they aren’t but the standards of what makes a good man or woman are being lowered and most importantly the youth are being taught and shown that black men are dogs and black women are gold digging baby makers. That needs to be reversed. Our race is being destroyed and they are using us to destroy ourselves. Everyone has the right to their own personal preferences and as I said before interracial dating doesn’t faze me, hurt me or do anything to my self esteem BUT if we can’t reconcile at least a few of our black women and black men we will continue to be a dying race and by the turn of the century if not sooner there will be few of us remaining not to mention that the defamation and degrading of our men and women will only continue to worsen. I’m not throwing shade by any means but just look at this post right here 90% of the comments have nothing to do with the subject at hand and are centered around sex and reality tv and this is a site filled with educated mature adults. Go to any other blog and you’ll see ghetto, ignorant comments that can barely be understood and those are our youths. Our young people who the school systems, churches and parenting have unfortunately failed or taken second place to the bullshit being shoved down their throats at every opportunity be it through radio, music, videos, tv or whatever. A parent can only do so much, we can’t be everywhere and see everything. And I refuse to accept or believe that our youth problems are all the result of bad parenting and this current string of garbage entertainment does not deserve much of the blame. The media is everywhere you go pushing filth, hate and negative images, beliefs and thoughts into our childrens mind, making them hate themselves and anyone who looks like them or doesn’t have what society says you must have to be successful. You can do everything right and as soon as your child is out the door society takes over and does everything possible to undo what you’ve taught is right. We can all sit back and ignore what’s going on pretending that nothing is happening, we can sit back and complain about the disrespect but do nothing to change it, we can say not my child and blame the rest on bad parenting or we can say enough and start making moves to do something about it. The issue is more than interracial dating, it boils down to instilling self respect, self love and preservation into the minds our young men which will in turn teach them to love and respect us, black women, which will also help boost the esteem of our young women and teach them to stop degrading themselves for the attention and money of ballers, celebs, married men and random dudes they meet just because they showed them some attention even if its negative attention. I think ggouchs idea is a good one and its by no means an attempt to stop people from genuinely falling in love despite clolor lines but an attempt to reverse the mental damage caused by society and negative mindsets of those men who run to other races because of self hate, stereotypes and negative generalizations of all black women.
