SCRUPULOUS
Acting with extreme care
Careful, Conscientious, Heedful

I am now trying to get into the Black History thing that I should have been involved with a long time ago, but now I find myself really conscientious about black history and what blacks have done for this nation so long. What does it mean to be involved with your race and what they have done for you and your nation as a whole. I have been for so long backwards ass about this whole thing and the whole black history deal. It has been of no interest to me back then and for a long time I did not want to hear about all the complaints of black folks and what they been through and all that. But now I guess that since I have gotten a little older and wiser I have come to grips with the heedfulness and the careful details of life as a whole. What made me get into this black thing? Well since I have been on the west coast I see that blacks are totally different from the blacks on the east coast. What I mean by this is in the sense of how they walk and I don’t mean in a literal sense but in a sense of how they go about the walk in their lives as a everyday manner. They are more involved with white women and it seems that they do not have the sense that a Billy goat gave them. I do not want to sound like that I am trying to judge them as a people but I just do not understand why in the world would blacks do this to their race and their culture to turn their backs. I am from the south and I try to keep it dark and real at the same time, for I know that this is life and reality and what we need to do. Anyway I have to learn that I am now in a state to where I have to be real scrupulous about what I do and how I walk in my everyday manner as a black man. I have yet to get involved with the voting act and I do not know why that I do not find this in any interest to me. I guess that what I see and what I have endured, I guess that is why I do not really give a fuck about who and what goes on in the House. People always say that your vote counts and I hear that but I do not believe it. I know for a fact, now I am not in a political state of mind but I do know that one man can not change this world, even the president. That man has no more power than it is given to him. Anyway I want to try to give back to the people by using what I have and what I have learned and then I will have the audacity to change the minds of the ones that are like me and those that come behind me. I try now to be real careful and try make available my gifts to help those that are trying in life. So we cannot try to do things that others have done, we have to do them better. I have a saying that when people tell me that they want to be better than me I tell them that you do not want to be like me but you want to be better than me. I too will say that for those that do not know about the real Jim Crow and how it was trying to hold us back, I feel that in a sense is that it was trying not to keep us back in a slave mentality but to let us know that we could have our own and do our thing Jim Crow laws were to our advantage. Now I know that some of you might say that this is bullshit but if you look back at the time that when we came up, we had our own and we had all that we could have but we did not want it and we wanted what the white folks had. Now why is that, now today we are really struggling to have just a little bit of the pie when back then we had the whole pie. So I see that when Zora came up here father was maybe one of the first to establish a all black town. Now can you see where she gets the idea that we did not need what the white folks had. Her dad was the first to have his own and did not need the white man to give him shit. So I see that same things today that we do not need the white man for shit. We have to have the zeal to go out and get ours and keep it.

LOVE, PEACE, AND POWER
