Enough is enough. It is time to expose some things and talk about it seriously. Everybody wants to beat around the bush and and not attack it directly but I am tired of the culture that has been created. If I step on your toes, I can't tell you I'm sorry but I gotta get to everybody.

Women, I am tired of the fact that you are confused to the point where you have chosen to accept second best . . . where you are willing to settle for a guy that's "not that bad", where you go to clubs and dance to songs that call you hoes, sluts, and anything else that lowers your worth to a collection of body parts and your ability to drop it, pop it, suck it, or blow it. I am tired of you being so confused about who you truly are and because you don't know who you are you have become so lonely where you decided that a one night stand is better than being alone . . . where as long as he calls you "sometimes" it's okay because its better than being by yourself for that night, where you go out with your butt cheeks and breasts hanging out then get drunk and high because maybe, just maybe, people will like you better. I am tired and you need to know who you are!! You are more precious than all the rubies and the jewels of this world. You are worth more than just 30 minutes of stimulation and then feeling worthless the rest of the night.

Men, I am hella tired. I am tired of us being so confused to where we believe can show masculinity by how drunk we can get, how many girls we can disrespect at one time, and how many times we've been shot. I'm tired of us running after money, cars, drugs and diamonds because we think that is what makes us a man yet we refuse to take care of our women and children. I'm tired of us thinking that "swag" is running around in clothes we can't afford to wash, cars we can't afford to put gas in, and women we can't satisfy because we don't realize that its about more than just "sticking and moving." We can't value the lives of our brothers and sisters (no matter what race) because we don't think any more highly of ourselves; we refer to ourselves as niggas which by definition and paraphrase is a "no good, trifling, lazy, ignorant person that is not even recognized as being human." And because we think of ourselves and other people like this we have no problem ending someone's life because they stepped on our shoes or looked at us for more than a few seconds.

People, I'm tired of us sitting around while babies get pregnant with other babies and then kill those babies in the name of "the right to choose." I'm tired of the fact that we don't talk to the kids and let them know about SEX, yes SEX, that we don't want talk about the increasing number of men becoming homosexual and bisexual in our nation and the increasing number of women becoming promiscuous and not caring whether its male, female, or both. We are not video hoes, sluts, pimps, "dope boys" or anything else Weezy, Jeezy, and Soulja Boy (amongst others . . . not just them) told us we were . . . we are better than that.

Step up and know who you are everybody!

@ Stephen p

Now you rekindle my success vision with your words. Keep it up!

I'm happy it motivated you both

It’s easy to dream. Easy to imagine a better life, one without burdens, responsibilities and disappointment. Life isn’t meant to be easy and it shows no favor to race, sex, or class, but we sometimes disregard that notion, telling ourselves if only I was ______ or if only I had ______ life would be easier. The truth is there is no cruise control; all we can do is take life for its ups and downs (live and learn) and use our weaknesses as motivation to better our strength.

Most of all we must never let the burdens of life imprison us within ourselves because once we cage ourselves in misery we prevent ourselves from enjoying the beauty of life: friends, family, happiness . . . love. Greatness comes with hardship and success comes with struggle. Nothing is given without a fight, not even peace.

So whatever you want in life, don’t just dream it, do your best to live it! The harder it gets, the greater your success will be. Never stop believing and never give up hope.

If you ever feel like it’s too much to bear alone, know that you have those who love you, ready to help you carry your burdens and lighten your load. No one is meant to go through hardship alone and no one is meant to go through life without hardship.

Look at all the great leaders and influential people of this world, not one of them had it easy. But what they did have was ambition and determination. Our willingness to endure is a vital component to living a full life.

Remember this whenever you are going through a tough time. Remember that no matter how many times you are broken, greatness awaits you.

Good luck.
