My Name is Elon James White...: We Have A Serious Problem. #TrayvonMartin →
To raise awareness about the #millionhoodies march and general online campaign I’ve posted the picture below on my social networks. This was the response on one of them.

Let America Be America Again →
I thought that by 2012, we’d have flying cars, matter transporters, and hoverboards. And now that year’s started and all I see is a slowly recovering economy, derisive politics at home, and social ills that should have been solved by now.
I refuse to accept the notion that “some things never change.” All I’m trying to say is that maybe we ought to reopen America’s conversation on race and social inequality. I don’t think ignorance goes away when, “we don’t see people in colors” or “we don’t talk about race so that it doesn’t become a problem”.
The simple irony in such a choice is apparent in that choosing silence on a controversial issue only allows for more ignorance to follow. We should be discussing our differences with one another to understand that we really have so much more in common than we think.
As Americans, we all want the best for our country and those that live in it. To ensure our relevance as a global power, it is necessary that we resolve our domestic issues at home before we consider offering assistance and advice to countries abroad.
Langston Hughes had it right when he said in his famous poem over 75 years ago.
O, yes, I say it plain, America never was America to me, And yet I swear this oath-- America will be! Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death, The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies, We, the people, must redeem The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers. The mountains and the endless plain-- All, all the stretch of these great green states-- And make America again!

Where’s your internet going? A user named Totalbiscuit explains why Americans shoud be concerned with the upcoming Dec 21st vote on SOPA and PIPA.
All I’m going to say is that if you’ve got time, call or write the congressman in your district to tell them your concern over the abusive nature of this bill. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go ahead and watch this video or at least wikipedia it (while you can anyways).

This is the album I’ve been jamming for the last week. I’ve never listened to a music album that was written in a way that spoke so many volumes to me.
That said, the outro(starts around 2:59) on this song is one of the best endings to an album I’ve heard and I’d say that it served as a great cap on the story that was Childish Gambino’s camp. It’s just the musings of a man looking back on a pivotal moment in his life when he decided to start putting it all out there.
I want to be able to do that with my music someday; put it all out on display ‘til there’s nothing left to hide, no jokes left to mask insecurities, or stories left to shroud fear of judgment.
On that note, I might be doing a show at the Village Cafe in Bryan,TX… I’ll keep yall posted with any updates!
