Peace, Love, and all that good stuff! WoS – Omnishambles – a situation, especially in politics, in which poor judgment results in disorder or chaos with potentially disastrous consequences QoS – “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” Off-Topic – would you allow your child to pull up to prom in a casket and Hurst? Talking points:  Starbucks, LA Fitness and other corporate and small businesses or organizations within the United States that hire or have knowledge of racist employees. Thoughts on what has been going on? Three things in particular I want to cover; the first being the way in which Starbucks handled the situation. The second being the story before the recording started. The third being the way in which black men interact with police officers when approached, the unspoken rules of engagement. →Starbucks handled racial discrimination the best way they possible in these trump times. Fire the racist bigot and to add onto the push toward change close down all stores in the US for mandatory racial bias training for all employees. If black activist have a problem with the decisions Starbucks made in tackling this problem then they might be apart of the problem. LA Fitness what y’all going to do homies? → Recordings always give a side of the story that can possibly misleading to the public. What was initially said, how were the interactions with the police officers, were people being rebellious as opposed to corporative. This goes back to the spectrum of people and the unspoken rules of how the black man should deal with the police. 1.) Always comply within your rights 2.) Never give the cop reason 3.) If you are asked to leave… leave. 4.) Be respectful* (within reason) 5.) Do everything by the book and file a compliant after everything is all set and done* (within reason) 6.) Walk away ALIVE → Legalize Mary Jane (FSU Case)  Thoughts? Does writing your own music/verses constitute you being a “RAPPER” in HIP HOP culture? Or is the standard that low nowadays whereas people could hire ghost writers and be on top? (Play Funk Flex Clip)
