Huslte and Flow is a great movie.

Hustle and Flow is a great Movie. I really wanted Terrence Howard to win the best actor award. It was nice that 6 Mafia did get their props for the soundtrack though. I love Rap Music and Punk Music. That is just all me. Even though I have traveled around the world, I am still a regular Saint Louis person who loves punk and rap. One of my favorite quotes right now is from the movie Hustle and Flow. It clearly explains what "Flow of Thought" should be about. In the movie, one of the characters played by D.J. Quill says "Every man, woman, and child has a God given right to express themselves. They just have to get it out there by any means necessary. Because it is your God Given right as a human."

This statement basically sums up every Socratic thing that we are not taught in school. We go to college, but what do we learn? I go to the lunch room at college to see what people are learning. I see white students sitting with all whites. I see blacks sitting with all blacks. I see Asians sitting with all Asians. Why is it like this after we leave forced togetheredness classrooms? We return to our voluntarily segregated neighborhoods. It is this way, because we do not place value on others. We automatically start to criticize what another person says or does before we even listen. This is because of the slave culture of our government. Blacks were considered 3/5 of a human. Women did not have the right to vote at one time. After we received the right to vote, freedom of speech, we learned that because we are not perfect we have now forfeited that right. So we go to college associates degree, bachelor degree, masters degree, and even doctorate for some. We go to college to get a big post-it note for a Socratic Challenged society who does not place any value on anyone or anything.

I was at a christian church. A minister who happened to be a doctor of education gave a speech. In his speech he made a small verbal error. You could hear the crowd already saying under their breath. "He is not so smart with his doctorate degree he made an error." This speaker just laughed and eyed the crowd. He said "Yes, I am very well educated. Yes I really do have a doctorate degree. You can ask my wife if you like, but no matter how much education I receive I am still HUMAN AND SO ARE YOU. So you can condemn me for making one mistake or you can forgive me and see what I have to bring to the table."

The crowd changed their tone. They understood that yes sometimes as a doctor he is perfect, and has to be perfect, but outside those divine times when God watches over him to ensure perfection he is still human.
We as a society need to have more respect for what people say and get out of that white slave mentality of demeaning, disrespecting, marginalizing, and minimizing others for not saying and doing things exactly the way we would do it. If we do not get it another society will and they will be the ones telling us what to do.

If you are around somebody and you have tried, tried, and tried but they still have no respect for you. This means they have no respect for themselves like Jagreen79 and Nishing. In a situation like this it is best to just ignore these kind of people and forget about them. They sought you out. They looked up what you had to say. They have researched your every move on the internet. Did you do this to them? Did you need a report from them? You never had to get their report, because you do not need the devil's report on how you are doing. You just rise above this kind of mess. You do not shut up until you want to, because it is your God given right to express yourself. If people do not like it then they should not be hunting all over the internet, newspapers, and where ever else they may look for whatever you have to say. Bottom line if you do not like what I have to say then quit researching, copying and pasting whatever I say to your journal. Remember you are in charge not those stupid tricks trying to hunt down everything you say under the auspices of hating you because you have a right to freely express yourself. You do not stop until you want to.
