Keepin it Real Goes Wrong..... Techie Edition
Recently, I got an iPhone. I know you are thinking so what? But honestly I don't know how I functioned without it prior. I do everything with it. It's my bestfriend. We are tight. It was love at first sight. I call it iBoo. So some haters out there following the announcement of the iPad, iBoo's big brother, felt that there was no possible need for the device since you could get a computer or an iPhone. I dispute these attacks on my boo's brother because trust if I get $400 in discretionary income, like Swizz Beatz said:"I'll be on to the next one"
However, in this ever changing world leave it to ignorant people to make a bad name for the iFamily:
An ireporter (basically me everyday when I take pics of kids acting a fool on DC metro on my iPhone) was at my old stomping grounds, Lenox Mall in Atlanta GA and saw this fool who was more than willing to pose with his iPad on a chain. Is that what we are doing now?? We are wearing technology! And you know he was playing Gucci Mane or some other foolish rubbish. He thinks he is fly. iReporter thinksthat he is a fool. I find myself per usual like I want to on the metro, wanting to put on my invisible cape and pretend not to be associated with this young man by race.
I know I shouldn't say that. Cause honestly I love being Black.......until we do this foolishness! I was so angered by this that I immediately came to write here to vent!!! Like honestly, why do we feel that ignorance is cool? You look a fool and no one takes you seriously. And now certain types of people will make value judgments about me based on you wearing a iPad around your neck! Prayerfully its not the next person who interviews my under 30 self for a job. I want us to do better.
Also is this man serious! Sir how much street cred do you have rockin an iPad around your neck. Hope you are not walking to the MARTA Station with that on cause trust "pumkin and dem" will jack you.
Anyhow someone just hit me on gchat on my iBoo gotta run! But this is just the beginning. I am back and committed to getting Toye back to Talking.

Ohhh Dwayne......Oops I mean Wayne
Watch CBS Videos Online
So Lil Wayne came out of his Cannibus and Codine induced stupor to conduct an interview with Katie Couric. My friend says Katie looks scared. My favorite line: " I'm a gangsta and gangstas don't ask questions" Ok perhaps I spoke to soon about him not being on something. She had every right to be scared I would be too!! Ignorant he is for sure but at least he did better than Cam'ron who on his CBS 6o Minutes Interview with Anderson Cooper took his devotion to "Stop Snitching" so far as to say if a serial killer was living next door to him, he would not tell but would just move.

We's Free!!
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — A white social studies teacher attempted to enliven a
seventh-grade discussion of slavery by binding the hands and feet of two black
girls, prompting outrage from one girl's mother and the local chapter of the
NAACP. After the mother complained to Haverstraw Middle School, the
superintendent said he was having "conversations with our staff on how to
deliver effective lessons."
"If a student was upset, then it was a bad idea,"
said Superintendent Brian Monahan of the North Rockland School District in New
York City's northern suburbs.
The teacher apologized to the mother who
complained and her 13-year-old daughter during a meeting Thursday that also
included a representative of the local NAACP. But the mother, Christine Shand of
Haverstraw, said Friday she thinks the teacher should be removed from the
class.
"I think the teacher should have gotten some discipline," Shand said.
"I know if that was me, I would be uncomfortable going back to that class. Why
should my daughter have to switch?"
Monahan refused to say what, if any,
measures were taken against the teacher, Eileen Bernstein, who was still working
on Friday. The school district said she was not available for comment.
"We
encourage our teachers to deliver the curriculum in a variety of ways, to go
beyond just reading the textbook," the superintendent said. "We don't want to
discourage creativity. But this obviously went wrong because the student was
upset."
On Nov. 18, Bernstein was discussing the conditions under which
African captives were taken to America in slave ships. She bound the two
students' hands and feet with tape and had them crawl under a desk to simulate
the experience, Monahan and Shand said. Monahan said the girls were not the only
blacks in the class.
Gabrielle Shand burst into tears at home, her mother
said.
Alright......... here is my issue with this whole situation. Yes the teacher was a complete simpleton. However, I feel like the kids involved are also clearly the ones who need to be knocked upside the head as well. What do I look like in 2008 letting ANYONE tie me up for a slavery demonstration. Did that not seem wrong to them? Have they not seen Roots? The mom talking about that teacher needed some discipline. So does your child for making you all look the fool!! She also needs some common sense!!

Don't Drop the Soap Mr. Mayor!! - An Open Letter to Kwame Kilpatrick
To Kwame Kilpatrick, The Mayor of the City of Detroit, Michigan
From: Toye, born and raised in another Midwestern city where gators and Cadillacs also reign supreme.
Date: August 7, 2008
Maybe I am just old fashioned but sir an earring is probably not helping your image. It associates you with the wrong type. Rappers and Rockers have earrings usually not mayors. However Rappers and Rockers have groupies and apparently so do you.
Before we get to your other nonsense, sir why do you insist on wearing suits that always look like you are going to the club afterwards. As a fellow mid-western, I understand the love for suits in bold colors, and jackets coming to the ankles. However, as the mayor this is a faux pas.
3. Throwing "Ho"downs at the Mayoral Mansion
No Picture needed!! You know what strippers look like or can imagine it. Did you really have to invite them to your house for a party and then Sir one of them is shot to death in the midst of scandal surrounding this incident. For pure stupidity and simpleness you should receive life in in prison.
2. Text messaging your new boo on your work phone and she works for you. ... never a good idea
Mr. Kilpatrick if you valued your job at all you would have learned from Slick Willy. That whole Monica thing did not go over well nor did lying about it. Should you be suprised that you are now on trial for perjury and that you are being asked to step down? Like Mike said "Just do it" STEP DOWN. History will repeat itself . However, Kwame unlike Willy you were not praised for your efforts in office. People dislike you! Like the whole city of Detroit and the Suburbs! Also you are a bit tanner than Willy so you are going down!!
Remedy: Remedy the whole situation and resign!! Just stop it! You look foolish!
1. You generally suck at your Job!!
Just today the Obama campaign even asked you as a Superdelegate to stay home. They do not want your vote. Sir I hate to say this but you may just be worse than Marion Barry and he was caught doing the rock. However, to this day that man is still a DC Counsel member in his district. People still respect him. He does things for citizens. He's not buying Navy's on the city budget or plunging them into a record deficit. Basically you suck and the fact you are rerunning for office shows you are a simpleton. You are also destroying the city of Detroit, home of GM, Motown and a basketball team with players as ignorant as you (ie Rasheed Wallace)
I beg you do us all a favor and just disappear.
Regards,
Toye
