Kanye Is Not Crazy

I've had the fortune of having a major "Kanye" moment before the VMA's on Sunday night. This being the 10th anniversary of Katrina, many networks were plastering the infamous "George Bush don't like Black People" clip in a never ending cycle. I had a chance of really watching Kanye's energy during the moment...his mannerisms...I saw the frustrations simmering inside of him....I could tell that his breathing was  becoming uncomfortable...I could tell all of these things because I have those same feelings right before I utter words that NEED to be uttered...right before I say something that will potentially change the world around me. The same energy he had regarding Taylor Swift's win over Beyoncé...Kanye doesn't plan to go out and cause craziness...sometimes when shit is just too ridiculous something needs to be said or done....sometimes he doesn't want that responsibility...I think he wants to just make music...just like I just want to teach...but forces lead me to other places where complacency and acceptance of this current negative atmosphere in education and the mistreatment of my students just can't be tolerated...so I have had that feeling in staff meetings where my heart is pounding and my palms are sweating and I say something that needs to be said....I understand Kanye...I get him. He's at a place where he realizes that NO ONE IS LISTENING TO THE CHILDREN...and who are the children...THIS YOUNGER GENERATION...this group that truly wants to accept everyone for who they are...the generation that doesn't  constantly stand in judgement of their fellow human...this generation that doesn't hide behind the guise of a religion that has perpetuated much of the hatred and intolerance that has permeated the world for centuries...the media is the most evil force on this planet...(I'll get into that a bit deeper during my next rant)...but it is inherently evil and I believe that Kanye and others who have seemingly PEAKED eventually just sit back one day and say..."Hell! I might as well run for president!" And if this is an Illuminati thing or not doesn't matter to me....the main point is that there is currently NO ONE OUT THERE REPRESENTING OR COMMUNICATING ON BEHALF OF THE CHILDREN. It's time to hear them...they are telling us how to educate them but we don't listen...they are trying to show us how to truly love one another but WE think we know best!!! That's why the media tries to show the majority of YOUTH in a negative light via insidious TV programming and very selective musical rotations on the radio and music channels. The media attempts to undermine the intelligence and legitimacy of the YOUTH....that's what last night was all about...."Listen To The Children."
