We need to take a stand
We need a plan, we can't continue to attack each other for minor reasons. I feel that we all have the power in us to create a peaceful environment with a limited amount of problem, because we have to face that we will receive certain challenges but we can't let that change negatively and cause us to act uncivilized. So enough putting ourselves down, listen to things that lifts you up. We need to hear things such as:
Yes we can come together as nation and face any difficulties

Yes we can learn to love
One another
But can we succeed?
The hands of history
Keeps pulling the chains
That holds us back.
So can we really change?
Yes we can!
We will fall through the cracks
And have no idea
Of what to fear
But can we move on
Yes we can!
We can become
More of what we
See in these mean streets!
And not fear of becoming doctors and lawyers
We will come out the jail and burn out the Ghetto’s
And will cross the new life of change and become more!
So can we change?
Yes we can!
The change starts with you the chains that dangle our feet ends with you!
What you decide to do with “the change”
Is your choice.
But remember the new generation
Are depending on you we
Stand over the people who
Sacrifice there lives.
And that is the dept that we shall some how need to repay.
So can we change?

Yes I Can
Everyday, all around me, I hear all sorts of stereotypes that makes me sick to my stomach. That I will get pregnant before I turn 19, that I wont be able to finish high school, that I wont make it to college.
As hard as I may try, I wont ever be able to stop these thoughts from going into people’s heads, but together as ONE, we can.
We need to stop blaming our failure on other people, we need to stop bringing each other down. We need to join together as one, and succeed……… because together, we can

We as American citizens are gathered here together as one to answer to one of America's many problems Classism. Classism is the systematic oppression of people being placed in a lower class, rank, or position by the dominant class. It includes individual attitudes and behaviors, systems of policies and practices that are set up to benefit the upper classes at the expense of the lower classes. Classism explains how people are ranked according to socioeconomic status, family lineage, and other class related divisions. This system leads to a drastic income and wealth inequality.
This inequality is what we need to focus on. We're at a point right now where we need to come together as one, fight as one, and solve every issue like this one as one. The unfair distribution of wealth prevents our society from enjoying full financial benefits. This unfair distribution of wealth causes nothing but misery for the working class and poor people. I've seen working class people give a helping hand to those who are poor and of higher class. Now why is it that I've never seen a person of higher class ever help those in the working class and even poor people. Why is it that those who are in the higher class recieve special attention, better health care, better food, a better chance of doing anything. It's a cycle for the higher class, if your wealth is great you only help those who have greater wealth. This keeps us, "the people," from breaking that wall that seperates us from them, the poor from the rich, the lower class from the upper class. I feel we can break that wall and come together. Spread the wealth to those less fortunant rather then turning away because of his or her class rank. This seperation only feeds the saying " Survival of the fittest" well I feel it's time we come up with a new saying for a new plan that promises a new way of living.
When you see or hear that theirs 31 million poor people in America thats when we the people have to stand up and say this isn't right we need to figure something out in order to fix this problem. I remember as a young child attending Brooklyn Prepatory High School observing classism first hand. These two young boys were disrespecting this young lady because of the way she spoke. One of the boys was lower class and the other upper class but still were friends. When both of the boys were caught and sent to the principals office their parents were notified and told of the disrespectful act they each committed. Now each of the boys parents showed up to the school. Now to make the story short the boys were given seperate punishments due to their class rank. The upper class boy recieved a low punishment. He had to sit in the office 10 minutes after the school bell rang because of his "rank." While the lower class boy recieved 4 weeks of detention. I feel that we all should learn from this it shouldnt matter what class rank you have you are not better then the other we all share pain we all share happiness we all share problems. A problem is a problems no matter what and when faced with a problem we do whatever it takes to solve it. Thats what we're going to do cause we can as one.

Im so proud that we were all able to make it here
Glad that we were able to receive a certificate that shows our acheivements
Many people were told that they would never make it here
But we fought and told them Yes We Can
I knoe it wasn't easy for some of us
It was times when we just wanted to give up,
Sometimes we slipped up
Luckily, we have teachers who care who told us Yes We Can
Now as we venture off and go about our lives
We would face the difficulties of the real world
Some of us may go off to College
Others may choose their career right after highschool
But the fact is Yes We Can do whatever we put our minds to
Yes We Can be young black men and women going to college
Yes We Can get into a higher institue of learning
Harvard, Yale, Princeton we could do it all
Yes We Can go without getting pregnant
Yes We Can finish and not drop out
Yes We Can be at the top of our class
It is a shame that when growing up they tell us
its literally impossible for us to make these acheivements
Well, our job it to go out there
and make the impossible possible
Show them that no matter how hard they try to look down us
We will try even harder to acheive our goals in life
So when they tell No we Can't
Always Remember

From the time we have all been a kid, most of us has always heard “you can do anything you set your mind to.”
If that’s the case, why do most people depend on others even the government for support then later still complains?
If we can do anything we set our mind to why is so many people living without a job?
Our ancestors, no matter what race you belong to, had fought for us just so we can have a better life.
Why do so many people make race a major issue? Is it?
Aren’t we all ‘equal’?
Aren’t we all people?
Black/ White/ Rich/ Poor/ Female/ Male
Does it really matter?
Shouldn’t what really matter is the type of person you are on the inside?
Giving up/ dropping out of school
Why leave the one major thing that will get you somewhere in life?
Turning to drugs/ the streets
Is that really the right way to go?
Bullying in school
Letting your peers down
Are you serious?!
Why not stand up for each other?
Why not stick together?
R.I.P Maria
A young soul that is now gone
All because of cruel intensions.
What will her mom do know?
Her only child gone forever all because of what?
Of her peers who are suppose to be the world new generation?
What will become of future years to come?
Will this negative trend continue?
I say YES WE CAN
As individuals yes we can come together and make this place a better place.
Yes we can
Do whatever it is we set our mind to.
Yes we can make something meaningful of each of our life.
Yes we can live above the influence.
Yes we can
Live as one.
Yes we can
Yes we can
Yes we can become leaders of tomorrow.

Sean Bell Case
As We all know, sean bell's murderers were let off free of all charges. Was a cop that shot at him black. All is unsure and unclear to me. all i know is that i participated in a protest covering jamaica ave on friday night.
destroying our neighborhood really didn't solve anything but it relieved some of the agression people felt. The cops arresed a person for wearing a "Fuck The Police" shirt. I was suprised no one cared about it. i didnt even see it on the news.....

Racism, Classism, putting people down,
Not 6 ft. under, but we lower than the ground,
Crime, oppression, don’t blame it on the man,
They say we can’t make it, Yes We Can,
The system is the enemy, the problem is the power,
The media’s the instigator, happens every hour,
Writers and producers just tryna get a check,
Gotta feed the kids, so they caught up by the neck,
All you hear is gossip, or the war in Iraq,
But they keep pushing back, on the dealers with the crack,
And the bums downtown, while the higher class smiling,
If they just look around, see 100 million frowns,
(Yes We Can) break outta the violence, stop moving in silence,
We gotta be known, it has to be shown,
One nation under god, better yet the thought,
Or the belief of a better day, many people fought,
MLK, JFK, Honest Abe, need I say,
Everyone who’s tryna help tomorrow, or just today,
Because yesterday, well the past, life in America was injured,
And still walking on glass, still holding up the mass,
(Yes We Can) all the people have to do is take a stand,
Hold each others hands, and demand, all in sync, like a band,
Man damn, yo we need to prosecute,
Not jus the drugs, dirty money, and the prostitutes,
Life’s a female, society’s tryna kick her,
Legally, with all the cigarettes and liquor,
Some people ignorant, don’t wanna see the truer side,
The main thing that kill us is drugs, sex and suicide,
(Yes We Can) become more than a statistic,
More than entertainment, cuz we not a quick fix,
U-N-I-T-Y, stop the mixes,
The races, the classes, the living in the past tense,
So, if you feel ashamed for this man,
Named America, please try and get off the stand,
Drop the knife and put the mic in ya hand,
Say Yes We Can, Yes We Can, Yes We Can!!!

Yes We Can Speech
Brooklyn Prep Carl Parker
Ms. Roth – U in the Media April 14, 2008
Yes We Can
For starters I’m not here to blow you over with gratuitous use of large words or flagrant speech and voice fluctuations to catch your attention. In fact, this speech may not be eloquent at all. Instead, I sacrifice those things for the blunt truth. The truth is hope is fading. Gaps are growing; between the morals of two generations, between the pockets of the richest of the rich and the poorest of the poor, between what is expected and should happen and what is actually occurring and worst of all, between us Americans who once shared the same idealistic dream.
The degree of separation is so bad that no longer can I personally share ideas and beliefs with my colleagues without criticism. Our world is separating. What began with twelve disciples led by one man has turned into thousands of branches of Christianity and millions of different ideas and interpretations of one book. What began with one movement of an ethnic group for equal rights has split into a spectrum of beliefs from “non-violent” to “by any means necessary”. What began with 13 colonies that unified under the belief of freedom has turned into a corrupt form of government that’s centered more around money then its original ideas of “liberty and justice for all”.
My list can go on until you realize that all I am saying is monotony. Now is the time for change, not because I am idealistic of the future, but because I feel it’s now or never. American culture is so immersed in stereotypes, violence, sex and drugs that the once ever-blazing flame of hope has now calmed down to a silent flicker. Well I believe now is a time to stop this silence and speak before the flame goes out. Within Carl Parker lies the blood of a Panamanian-American and an African American. Among them are many shades, forms and sizes of people but all under the same suffix…American. So lets rise, not as an individual group or race, but more so as Americans. Lets unite ourselves under one composition of morals and beliefs. Lets put an end to separation and start a new, fresh beginning entitled “The American People” not “The African American” or “Latino-American People”.
As long as there is the small flicker of light, that dim shade of orange, that minute source of heat that we call the flame of hope, I can say…Yes We Can.

A Speech For All
It is a time for change. Mistakes in our past have prepared us for this future. To say that this society is perfect or even close to it is blasphemy. it is a time for us to make sure that our ancestors visions wil not die in vein.
It is time for er as a people to do away with the corruption that obstructs the democratic government of america. it is a time for young minds to stop wasting senseless acts of violence. it is time for teenaagers to stop trying to be down and trying to graduate.
It is time for us as a people to stop becoming zombies to the systems. It is time for people to stop feeding into the media. It is time for ud to stop blaming Bush adminstration and do something.
It is a time in this history where we as a people to move out of this oppression and the barrier that obstructs the middle-class. It is time to stop the racism, facism, and live to make it better for the generation of tomorrow.
Yes We Can.

First things first i am not a poet and not that great at getting my point across. Coming to you not as an African American female but as a teen in America. There is something happening to our generation. The media is using our race and categorizing us by where we live, how smart we are ,and even how much we have to offer society. Being able to speak my mind on this issue is overcoming one of the media's standards of that "little black girl who resides in Brooklyn". Using the education that i have and that is soon to come I can take each opportunity thrown. This will allow me to prosper and become a better me. Not only i but we as generation Yes We Can be lawyers, doctors ,and cooperate CEO's. Yes We Can advance in life using our most precious item our mind and Yes We Can not i but we as almost voters can change the world.

MLK Speech about N****$
This is when martin luther king has risen from a coma and sees the world and how it is today. He talks about how much he went through and how it all went to waste.
Life is gift. You choose how you want to live it. It's kind of like how actors act in a movie or a T.V show, they live a certain lifestyle and act a certain way.Only thing different is life is the real deal,so you have 2 make it count. To me I feel that we live life over and over again to fix mistake you made before. I also feel that eventually you move onto a different way of living, because there is such thing as a spirit world I believe. you probably go to the spirit world first before being reborned. But life is about making choices and living with the outcome, only the strong ones survive
I think that the black detective is hurt from how his mother is blaming him for her sons lost. I feel that it like how all older siblings feel when a new born comes, they lose all the attention. I could see it in his face that felt he was hurt. this sence really stuck in my head because I can relate to what he goes through as far as how his mother doesn't give him credit for what he does. He probably had to deal with his whole life, thats why I left them alone and went on with his life.
Opinion on Trya Bank Show
I feel that this family doesn't know how black people or Jews act today. they probably feel the way they do because of rumors or because of their parents and their grandparents. I was disgusted to hear how they felt and what they were going to do with the others races that weren't like their. But I'm glad I saw that, because it made me realize there are still racist people out there to look out for.

This lil video from da boondocks has expressed so much we have discussed in class. From women in the media to violence. But it is funny though.

how the media brain wash people
While watching tanaya's video of the racist famile gave me a curiosity to explore other racist actions that goes on around us. While watching those racist and disturbing videos i found this video which stood out for me bacuse it has something to do with the media and what it portrays people has.
Discrimination in NYC
Last friday, March 28th, the juniors all had a trip to either Hunter or Columbia University. I went to Columbia. During our tour around columbia campus one of my peers was dancing. Playing around really. It was nothing big or neither anything inappropiate. Another tour group that happens to pass us made a statement to one of our teachers. The statement that she made is "I'm scared of the safety of my kids." the reaction had was shocked. Her kids was much older than us none of us was acting in any misbehaving manner where someone should be scared of us. I didn't understand what was going on. It took me a couple minutes to understand i had just experience discrimination. The most suprising thing about all this was that it happened right here in New York City. What a shmae!!!
