College is a rip-off

Anybody who has ever been to a four year college knows it’s not supposed to be easy. You’re not supposed to just get by; you’re supposed to spend hours studying and go to class because you are the best this society has to offer (or at least that’s the bullshit we feed ourselves). We know it’ll be expensive and we all plan on being done with our undergrad degree in the planned four years.

But that doesn’t happen.

I don’t know anybody who can graduate in four years. Well at least not without Summer school.   Four year universities don’t exist anymore, but there are plenty of five year schools.

How come? Surely majority of people who go thru those big school house doors don’t fail that many classes to hold them back. Some of them do but everybody has their fuck ups. There has to be another reason…and I think I found it.

The reason it takes so long to graduate is all the unnecessary classes students are forced to take.

Why does a pre-med major need to take British lit? Why does a TV broadcasting major need so many semesters of science credits? What the hell does science have to do with TV? I know what you’re thinking “People need to be well rounded and know something about multiple subjects.”  That’s true but that’s what high school is for. When you go to college you want to focus on what you’re going to do for the rest of your life. If I wanted to know about different rock formations I’d sign up for the class on my own don’t force me to take it. Kids nowadays have to take just as many hours out of their major as they do in their major. That shit cray!  And it’s a waste of time and money. I don’t give two craps if the lawyer defending me doesn’t know how the slave revolt of 1712 affected upper class whites in New York. But he sure as hell better know how to keep my black ass outta jail!

I would rather be a master of my craft than a jack of all trades master of none.

Schools just want your money. The longer you stay the more you have to pay. They couldn’t have most of their tuition checks…I mean students leaving in two or three years.  Gotta squeeze every penny they can out of ‘em. Make us take a ton of useless classes =in school forever. Let us just take our major classes =done in a couple years. True there are thousands of two year schools out there but they don’t offer as many majors as the four years. Also, those two years don’t have the same respect in the job market.  

So we’re doomed. We can either pay a ton of cash for 4-5 years to take a bunch of classes filled with information we’ll never use just to fulfill a credit or we can go to a two year school and get a degree that won’t hold as much weight.  I didn’t go to college to get an education; I went to get a job. If I wanted to learn about subjects that span the universe I’ll go to the public library. I want to be the best at what I chose to do and I’ll take two or three years of training in just my profession over random math classes. 

There has to be a solution to this problem. I wouldn’t have addressed the problem if I didn’t already have a way to fix it.

Schools should start letting students choose different plans. Some people don’t mind taking as many classes as they can. So let them. They can have their math112 and their history 319 and all that. But let people who want to get in and out as soon as possible do that. No need to keep people there longer than they need to be…but then of course they wouldn’t get their checks.

A Message to White People

White people I’m going to say this one time and one time only: STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM RAP AND HIP-HOP!

If you want to buy a CD or use iTunes (do black people even use itunes to buy music?) and plug your headphones in and listen to rap and hiphop that’s perfectly fine with me.

But the second you start rapping along or think you can rap yourself is the second I immediately hate you and want to punch you in the face.

Don’t rap, don’t write lyrics, don’t try to make beats, don’t try to dress like us.

Because when you do this is the result:

White people stop ruining every fucking thing that blacks do and stick to your own wack ass off beat ass culture and identity.  This is an embarrassment to rap. Right between Lil’ B and Soulja Boy.

It’s a shame that I go to school with these bitches and if I see one of these hoes in this video I’m pushing them into oncoming traffic.

The Problem with Facebook

In the past  year I’ve been noticing that people are complaining about facebook saying how much it sucks and how they’re tired of it.

Well I agree somewhat that facebook has made some dumb changes.

But the main reason your facebook sucks is cause your FRIENDS SUCK!!!!

You blame FB for spam? Nah homie blame the dumb ass dudes you hang with who think some half naked Brazilian model he’s never met wants to be his friend.

Tired of seeing Farmville updates every ten seconds? It’s not FB’s fault. It’s your friends and your friends 54 year old mother who have nothing to do with their time besides harvest imaginary corn.

Facebook isn’t the problem the people you add are.

You can’t complain how annoying Facebook is because those people are annoying in real life too, you just don’t hang around them enough to find out cause they’re effin annoying!!!

The gh3Tto a$$ p30pl3 who tyype lik3 dis=your ghetto ass no typing ass friend.

People can’t blame anyone but themselves for facebook becoming irritating  because in the end these are your friends.

Let People Get Their Money-Stop Hatin

The other day a report came out about how much certain news anchors make. Matt Laurer makes around 17 million a year, Brian Williams of NBC Nightly News makes 13 and the list goes down from there. Obviously that’s a lot of money that most people will never see in their lifetime. And the comments people left on the article genuinely pissed me off.  A lot of people mad that somebody else was making money. I read a barrage of comments saying “Why do they make so much?” “They don’t deserve that money give it to factory workers and teachers!” “I’m so sick of actors and actresses and athletes making so much money!”

Apparently people don’t understand how money and careers work.  So I doubt they understand how TV works.

Quick breakdown: People watch the show, the more people who watch the more commercials cost because what company doesn’t want 5 million people seeing their product 10 times a day 5 times a week and if the TV network knows that why wouldn’t they sell the commercial spot for thousands of dollars. That’s how TV networks make their money commercials. But I digress.

So because NBC can sell those spots for so much and news shows are relatively inexpensive to produce they make a lot of money. And who gets a good amount of that money, the guy who gets people watching.

It’s very simple.

And to the fools who can’t understand why factory workers can’t get the millions or hundred of thousands that some professions get…I turn my nose up at you in disgust.  No offense or disrespect  to anyone who work those jobs, but almost anyone could do them. 

Not everyone can sit infront of a camera and look as natural and comfortable while having a director talking in your ear telling you what camera to look at, what segment isn’t ready to air and how much time you have to say what you’ve spent hours beforehand writing. Oh yeah don’t forget the 5 million people watching you cause if you mess up they see it, it’s live there are no do overs. Tell me most people could handle that type of pressure.  Most of ya’ll would freeze the fuck up. It’s more than just “reading the news on TV.”

And don’t get me started on people who say athletes shouldn’t get paid as much as they do. I’m going to save that for another day but I will say this: NOBODY WANTS TO SEE YOUR FATASS TRY TO RUN, JUMP, THROW, CATCH AND SHOOT!!!

Now  I do agree that teachers should be some of the highest people in our society. There’s no way  in hell I could deal with little bad ass kids that don’t even belong to me who don’t have any home training. Trust me I hear the stories my mom’s a principal plus I used to hang with ya’ll wild ass nigguhs.

 But unfortunately for them they will never see the pay they deserve cause they are state employees. So unless people want to more taxes they can’t complain.

So there’s my rant on the whole situation that you can’t complain or shouldn’t be mad because someone earns more than you. It’s jealousy. People worked hard to get where they are and get paid what their employers see fit. Especially TV reporters…but of course I’m probably biased since I want to be in Matt Laurer or Brian William’s position one day. 

I’m comin for you suckas!!!!
