Top 3 Don'ts

MY TOP 3 "DONT'S" FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SOCIAL PROGRESSION AND INTELLECT

1. OVER VISIBLE TATTOOS

Respectable Living 101 suggests that you try not to tag yourself in a way so you're limited in life from the beginning with making a choice like this. Unless you plan to be in the profession of body art, there is always going to be a limit on how much money you can make, which kind of people will accept you, what kind of life you can lead with...well, looking like a convict. These so-called badges of pride will leave you with little respect from others that could help you excel and advance in the real world.

2. TYLER PERRY

As a friend's sister eloquently put it "I have little respect for someone that makes their living [and large amount of success] by exploiting the short comings of Black people." Instead of putting something on the screen that would stimulate and educate our brothers and sisters this presenter of "Coonery Baffoonery" (-Spike Lee) makes millions on degrading Black folk on the screen and tails in a sordid "message" to trick the viewer into thinking what they have just seen was deep and insightful, nice try.

3. LIL' WAYNE

The most dangerous force that propels this guy is the admiration from today's youth. A drug trafficking, slack jawed, ill mannered, foul-mouthed pop star has the undivided attention of today's youth culture. Children have him so "down to a science" that their permanently marking themselves in obvious ways to keep within that box of non further advancement (bringing us back to point #1 Visible Tattoos), and if anyone doesn't accept you now that you've branded yourself for life, its their problem--more like you're going to grow up to scrub their toilets for a living.
