Black On Blacker People Racism

Racism is still there and it is more alive than ever and i am not talking about white people being racist on black people but black people being racist on blacker people.
This is the ugly truth that might seem impossible to believe but it is very true and it happened and it is happening everyday without being even addressed or questioned because to others it seems normal.
The best example is that most of the adverts that are shown always have the light skinned people and never the darker ones and also even in films and all leading roles we never see the darker people.
The light skin also discriminate the darker people in a whole lot of ways like you always see a cool light skin crew a school campus and i always ask myself where the other darker skin brothers at,aren't they cool also?
Even when you are reading books you can see that the one who is portrayed as the handsome guy in the book is the light skin one.
Would people vote Obama in power if he was dark skinned?
The sad thing is also when people bleach their skin to look like the light skin they get dissed again and guess who disses them,the same light skin people that discriminated them at first for them to go and bleach their skin.
Look at Vybes Kartel who is being bombarded with dis tracks from Assassin who is a light skin brother and i think that is so wrong considering he is light skin and has never gone through what the dark skin are going through.
How can someone light-skin give a lecture to someone dark-skin about being proud of what you are,you are proud because you are light-skin and you are the reason for my problems (sometimes).

Take the Constitution to the people

A Constitution is a set of principles that govern a state /it is the supreme law of a country.
In Zimbabwe it has been found fit to make another Constitution because the one that is in action does not represent the people and for there to be elections next year the SADC has said we need a new constitution.
My argument is that the Draft Constitution is supposed to be accessible to everyone because it is made for everyone.
Looking at the money invested in the process of making a constitution we can see that a lot of tax money has been used and the money was hard earned by the people.
We can see that there are also  a lot of donors who are funding the program for it to be people driven such as the UNDP and USAID to name but a few and they are hoping that the process can be people driven and it has to be for the people and not for a few politicians who have their own agendas.
The people in Zimbabwe are getting incarcerated for breaking laws that they don't even know about and the police are also using that advantage to hustle people after arresting  them for breaking laws they don't know about or maybe even made up laws.
Someone might say you have to make an effort to look for the constitution but is it the way it is supposed to be,when the law is made for the people it has to be given to the people.
We are getting into a referendum next week and we are expected to vote yes or no but what are we voting yes for and what are we voting no for when we have not yet even seen the Draft Constitution and meditated upon it.
A Constitution is not made for a group of people but for the whole state and also other generations to come for example the Constitution of the USA was made in 1787 and it is the same one that is being used because the people who made the constitution where not selfish to only make laws that would only make their own lives easier and not putting others to come in consideration.

Bleaching Skin Justified

The late Michael Jackson and Vibes Kartel the most popular examples i would use  for people who opted for another skin tone.
Though they had already made so much success in the music industry they still found it neccessary to bleach their skin and people did not stop to ask why they did that,the media just bombarded them and were very hostile about the whole issue.
Michael Jackson's reason for plastic surgery was that he used to be abused by his father and other people saying that his nose was too big and his skin was too dark.
Vybes Kartel said that he bleached skin so his tatoo's could  show and he also gave an example of people who go bold and get a hairpiece if they have done anything wrong,for example Wayne Rooney the footballer never made any headline with his new hair.
People who are darker than others go through a lot of abuse in a community and the only way to get out of the situation is maybe to bleach and the light skin people attack them again because they do not relate to what they are going through.

Change is all i need

Change is all i need,i live for,i pray for,i hope for and i fight for. Change is always a need and necessity in any given community. The simple meaning of change is different from what it is or from what it would be if  left alone.

There are two types of change which are good and also bad change. I like change but i like my change to be  good,i hate bad change and sometimes when i get bad change i wish to return it back.

The thought of having change brings hope and optimism but the future holds the secret to the unfolding of events and it only knows what kind change you will get. Change makes life easier and am always looking for it and i want it now.I have a twenty dollar note and i cannot use it because no one else has change.

I want my change good and not those torn notes of change.I deserve good change because i worked so hard for it and i have waited so long for  it so its high time i get it damn-it.

All i will always look for is change and i demand good change.

Graffiti With Purpose

AIDS Free Generation

Graffiti With a Message

AIDS Free Generation was the message of the graffiti that was done by The (Tune Crew) Throw Up Nation Elevated that features  Phar-I from Bulawayo at the Shoko Festival Peace In The Hood Concert on the 23rd of September in Glen-norah B.

Graffiti has been viewed in bad light as vandalism of property done by hooligans and it was declared to be a crime that can carry a fine or even jail time.

Once they had the wall cleared by the police the Tune Crew made it worth all the trouble and produced what i call a beautiful message.

As the next generation we need more of that culture of good Graffiti that has a message.
