Negro State of Emergency

It is the Twenty First Century, the modern era, a time period that humankind should be the most advanced than we have ever been before, sadly this is untrue. Today the Negro race is in more danger than it was during the times of slavery. We, the Negroes, have not only been the backbone of the advancement of the US, but all western nations, yet we are still in bondage; physically, psychologically, and spiritually. We have lost ourselves and our Godhood, now we and the rest of the world looks at us as if we are still the slaves that we have been for the past 500 years. The Negro has become the target of mass incarceration, mental warfare, genocide, and depraved of a real education. The Negro has become so broken, he knows only know to be the cause of his own self-destruction, due to the influence of the media.

In today's world, how many modern songs about Negro women are made without degrading the mother of creation? The music that the youth listens to the most, is what influences their minds the most. Today, it is the “artist” that are raising the youth, and whom the youth look up to, if a popular male “musician” sings or raps about how he's having sex with “h*es” and shooting up a “n*gga” on the block, that is what all the black male youth will want to do. Speaking from my personal experiences in high school and college, almost everywhere on campus where there is music playing, the music promotes the degradation of the Negro. We now live in a society where the Negro wants to degrade is his sister, kill his brother, and push drugs through his community.

Another degradation that has been plagued up the Negro is the fact that he now idolize those that have become a slave to the prison system. The Negro now boasts about having his mugshot plastered across the various news networks. Ironically the Negro feels that harming his own gives him respect, and dignity. By obtaining a criminal record, the Negro puts his race on hold with development, both socially and economically. He can no longer help raise his family, nor can he put money into his community, the Negro rather have meaningless social status amongst his peers than permanently build up his society.

The Negro is suffering, and he is now the cause of his own self-destruction. How can we expect others to respect us and build us up, if we ourselves are currently the cause of our demise? In order to get back to our Godhood, we must abandon the mental illness of seeing our oppression as something positive

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
