have you ever heard the term “Ethnic Tweaking” ?

that is the science behind justifying bleaching, plastic surgery, hair weaves and any manner of defacing techniques; to remove your true ethnic identity.

The Issues that we see on color prejudice, are so bizarre lately. Sammy Souza Bleaches Himself white and decides to deny it; as though we don’t know how he got that “Bright“.

He made himself that Bright to Escape Who He Is and Where He Really Came From. Look at his wife and then take a look at him once again. it’s very common in the DR to Marry Light to change your fortune.

His words were that “He Was Cleaning His Skin” ?  Sammy We Think it looks  more like Shedding it; totally brotherman. oh yeah we all still remember that You Are A Blackman; even if you want to forget. it’s in the DNA Sam.

So Sammy how has the bleaching helped you ?

in China there is a Huge Stank about a beautiful young journalist named Lou Jing who has been treated horribly; because she is the child of a single Chinese mother, and an African American father; whom she never knew.

People said horrible mean things about the color of her skin; and have gone as far as asking does she have no shame ? what could they possibly be thinking – asking her if she has no shame, for how she was conceived ? this is moral decline at its’ most debasing.

in an interview with pbs she said that if she had known things would turn out this way, she wouldn’t have entered the contest.

Ms. Jing and her mother are suing one of the largest newspapers in China over slanderous and defaming statements they published about Ms. Jing. she hopes to get into columbia university in new york to continue her education. we also hear that she is keen to meet U S President Obama on his upcoming trip to China. we hope it all happens for our pretty little sister.

This is about Denial and Eyelid Surgery for Asians
What does she mean “I Was The Only Black Sheep” ?

this type of color sickness didn’t arrive last week. the ongoing problem of color and skin tone has plagued us through time. apparently it has become so fashionable to bleach ones skin in china that the amount of off market bleaching cream being offloaded to india, is enough to make one rich. Honestly India ?

why would someone go to the extreme of bleaching their skin because they felt the need for public acceptance from lighter skinned people ?

it’s quite simple, because much more preference has been assigned to the physical traits and brighter skin often attributed to caucasions.

last year we looked at the problem of a family of Jamaicans’ who were known as “Bleachers”. they would rather get skin cancer than stop using the dangerous bleaching creams.

there is a sickness in this that I see repeated often; mostly on Indian and Asian websites selling these so called brightening skin creams. they are the exact skin creams that contain huge amounts of hydroquinone; the cancer causing agent ruled to be unfit for importation into Jamaica and other places in the Caribbean, just last year.

This symbolic removal of ones skin leads us to think that the sickness felt inside must emanate from the sickness imposed by the society that we base our morals and lifestyle choices upon.

maybe it’s time we stopped believing the hype, and looked into the mirror AT Ourselves

First Lets Look at A Continental Disaster – Flooding in West Africa

Floods in Ouagadougou have almost brought the city to a standstill

Heavy flooding has now affected some 350,000 people across West Africa, killing at least 32 in Ghana and Burkina Faso, UN officials say.

More than 150,000 people in Burkina Faso have fled their homes, mainly in the capital Ouagadougou.

A UN spokeswoman said the amount of rain that fell in Ouagadougou on one day this week was equal to a quarter of the whole country’s annual rainfall.

Neighbouring countries affected include Benin, Guinea, Niger and Senegal.

The United Nations is warning that numbers killed are likely to rise and has sent an assessment team to Burkina Faso.

In pictures: Burkina Faso floods

At least seven people are known to have died in Burkina Faso, where the capital has seen the heaviest rains in 90 years.

The BBC’s West Africa correspondent John James says some of the displaced have moved in with friends and families, but most are dependent on the government which is struggling to cope.

The Burkinabe authorities say there is a desperate need for blankets, clothes and food and President Blaise Compaore has appealed to the international community for help.

He said those made homeless were being temporarily rehoused in schools and colleges.

The waters flooded 24,000 homes and the city’s infrastructure – roads have been washed away and electricity has been cut off.

Prime Minister Tertius Zongo said on Friday the cost of flood damage had risen to $152m (£92m) and included two destroyed dams and 12 damaged bridges.

Floodgates

Earlier in the week, Ouagadougou’s main hospital was badly flooded from water pouring over a nearby dam.

The Belgian Red Cross says 60 children as well as other patients had to be evacuated.

The authorities were forced to open the main gate of a hydroelectric dam in the Volta River basin near the Ghana border to prevent further flooding.

“Cultivated land on the reservoir’s shores and further upstream will be flooded. We warn riverside residents to stay away from the shores,” Venance Bouda, the official in charge of hydroelectric power, told the Associated Press news agency.

In Ghana at least 25 people have already died in flooding-related incidents, officials say.

The torrential rains have also hit other countries in the region – in Senegal 30,000 homes were flooded while in Guinea 20,000 people are affected.

Our reporter says similar floods in 2007 killed 300 people.

Many trained staff left Sierra Leone during the civil war

Nearly 50 illegal health clinics in Sierra Leone are to be shut by officials amid claims that botched operations killed patients.

The clinics in Freetown were staffed by people with little or no training, who offered inappropriate treatment, deputy minister of health told the BBC.

He also said many of those working in the clinics were foreigners.

Sierra Leone’s health care system was badly damaged during the 11 years of civil war that ended in 2002.

Many doctors fled the country.

These people came into our country illegally, and established illegal structures under the pretext of giving out medical services in order to make quick money Mohamed Koroma Deputy Health Minister Diary: Sierra Leone slum medic

Medical disasters uncovered by a special task force investigating the clinics included patients being given expensive saline drips which they were wrongly told would cure diseases like malaria and typhoid.

In one particularly disturbing case, a health official described how a man with appendicitis had had his genitals amputated.

The task force, set up by the health ministry, found a long and shocking list of medical disasters in the clinics.

Deputy Health Minister Mohamed Koroma said the problem was a legacy of the civil war.

“These people came into our country illegally, and established illegal structures under the pretext of giving out medical services in order to make quick money,” he told the BBC’s Focus on Africa programme.

In China there are Ethnic Riots being fought with SYRINGES – WHAT ? Needles are being used instead of typical weapons. this of course makes the entire situation much more heated.  the government has stepped in finally to squelch the violence; and not too fast as many people were injured and some may have to be tested to find out if they’ve been infected with any deadly viruses or diseases – as is rumored.  Really Sick, Just Plain Crazy and we’re ignoring it – Why ?

Five people have been killed in ethnic unrest in China’s western city of Urumqi this week, officials say.

It was unclear how the deaths happened, but thousands of Han Chinese have been protesting over an unexplained spate of stabbings with syringes.

Many of the protesters blame ethnic Uighur Muslims for the stabbings.

Riot police used tear gas to disperse angry crowds earlier, and China’s top security official has arrived in Urumqi to try to restore order.

In July about 200 people – mostly Han Chinese – were killed in ethnic riots in the city, the capital of Xinjiang region.

Beijing blamed exiled Uighur separatist groups for July’s violence.

Xinjiang’s population is evenly split between Uighurs and Han Chinese – the country’s majority ethnic group. But Hans make up three-quarters of Urumqi’s population.

‘Undermining unity’

Zhang Hong, vice-mayor of Urumqi, confirmed to reporters that there had been casualties in the latest unrest.

“On Thursday, 14 people were injured and sent to hospital and five people were killed in the incidents including two innocent people,” he said.

Hundreds of police fanned out across Urumqi on Friday

Mr Zhang gave no further explanation of how the people were killed.

Meanwhile, Beijing has sent its top security official, Meng Jianzhu, to Urumqi.

On his arrival he was quoted by state-run news agency Xinhua as saying the syringe attacks were a continuation of the July unrest.

He said the attacks were instigated by ethnic separatist forces seeking to undermine ethnic unity and urged local officials “to restore social order as soon as possible”.

But analysts say Mr Meng’s visit reflects Beijing’s desire to take control of the situation – and suggests the central government no longer trusts local officials.

‘All marches banned’

The BBC’s Michael Bristow, in Urumqi, says hundreds of police fanned out across the city on Friday, breaking up angry crowds gathering at road junctions.

Tear gas was fired to disperse one group of protesters and there were scuffles at a crossroads as police moved in to arrest several demonstrators.

Xinhua reported that the authorities had banned “all gatherings, marches or protests on roads or other public venues”.

The crowds demanded more protection amid media reports saying more than 500 people, almost all Han, have sought treatment for stabbings in the past few weeks.

There is also anger over what many perceive as official slowness in punishing suspects charged over July’s riots.

Tension between Xinjiang’s Uighur and Han communities has been simmering for many years, but July’s ethnic unrest was the worst in China for decades.

It began when crowds of Uighurs took the streets to protest about mistreatment – but their rally spiralled out of control and days of violent clashes followed.

The recent detentions are said to be due to a call to the public

Chinese police have recently arrested 319 people for last month’s violence in Xinjiang, according to state media.

This brings the total number of people detained over the riots to more than 1,500, although it is unclear how many people have since been released.

The violence between ethnic Uighurs and Han Chinese left almost 200 dead.

Meanwhile, Beijing has claimed that relatives of exiled Uighur activist Rebiya Kadeer have written letters criticising her over the riots.

Beijing has repeatedly blamed Mrs Kadeer – the head of the World Uighur Congress – for triggering the violence, a claim she vehemently denies.

A spokesman for the congress said the letters were fake.

Simmering unrest

The violence in Xinjiang was the worst ethnic unrest in China for decades.

It began on 5 July during a protest over a brawl in southern China in which two Uighurs were killed.

The government says 197 people died in the ensuing violence, and more than 1,700 were injured.

Rebiya Kadeer spent time in a Chinese prison before moving to the US

The government says most of the dead were Han Chinese, but the World Uighur Congress claims many Uighurs also were killed.

The 319 people who have been detained recently are in addition to 253 detentions last week and more than 1,000 before that, according to Xinhua news agency.

The most recent arrests came as a result of a call for information from the public, Xinhua said.

In the aftermath of the riots, local media published a list of wanted men and urged people to turn in suspects who were still at large.

It is unclear what proportion of those detained are Uighur or Han, or if any of them have been since charged or released.

Children’s letter

As head of the World Uighur Congress, Mrs Kadeer is often accused by China of fomenting unrest in Xinjiang, and has been blamed for orchestrating the July riots.

According to Chinese media, Mrs Kadeer’s son Khahar and daughter Roxingul, as well as her younger brother Memet, have written letters condemning their mother over the unrest.

“Because of you, many innocent people of all ethnic groups lost their lives in Urumqi on 5 July, with huge damage to property, shops and vehicles,” Xinhua quotes one letter as saying.

“We want a stable and safe life… Please think about the happiness of us and your grandchildren. Don’t destroy our happy life here. Don’t follow the provocation from some people in other countries.”

It is difficult to independently authenticate the letters, but Dilxat Raxit, a spokesman for the World Uighur Congress based in Germany, quickly rejected them as fakes.

“It’s not possible that one of her family members would write such a letter,” he told reporters.

Five of Mrs Kadeer’s 11 children still live in Xinjiang, and according to human rights groups they have experienced many forms of harassment because of their mother.

Her eldest son, Khahar, was reportedly fined and forced to liquidate his mother’s business and two other sons have been given jail terms – one for tax evasion, the other for “secessionist” activities.

Hey Joe, Where is that computer you got rid of last year ?

Toxic Waste that We Create will oneday lead to the total poisoning of the planet unless we start to take a real hard look at what we are doing to the planet, honestly.

We decided to start recycling instead of buying new – as a company policy. Why ? Watch this and we’re sure you will totally agree. we don’t want to be eco-pirates of the worst kind. we love our people, and our environment.

Watch This Horifying Video of Something You Can Help Prevent

Lets Think Green Okay – Enough of this Toxic Trash;

we all have computers that we pass down, or get as a pass down.

(this video is our music monday contribution)

we emphasised this because we want to encourage you to start recycling your computer parts, and computers within your communities. we don’t want to continue contributing to the destruction of the planet, or the lives of people we do not know. why – for Our Convenience.

We should start to demand that computer manufacturers offer us a rebate on our return of older outdated systems; so that they can recycle them into usable parts; by emplolying americans in america, and europeans in europe; by using the most current methods to prevent dumping toxic trash onto the earth.

this is something that should be happening globally, but somehow we miss that part of the puzzle. When we buy – we should start to demand it, each time we buy a computer or replacement electronic device. globally.

It’s Our Planet so we should take care of it, Always.

this is a part of a story from CNN that I highly recommend you read,

Sifting through the mounting problem of e-waste

(CNN) — Clouds of black smoke from burning plastic hang over the sites of Nigeria’s vast dumps, as tiny figures pick their way through slicks of oily water, past cracked PC monitors and television screens.

But it isn’t just a cut from broken glass these mainly young scavengers are risking. Much of the discarded electronic kit contains tiny — but valuable — quantities of aluminum, copper, cadmium and other minerals, all of which can be sold on, if they can be recovered.

However they also contain highly toxic materials, which have been linked to reproductive problems and cancers.

“People living and working on and around the dump sites, many of whom are children, are exposed to a cocktail of dangerous chemicals that can cause severe damage to health, including cancer, damage to the nervous system and to brain development in children,” Kim Schoppink, Toxics Campaigner at Greenpeace, told CNN.

“The open burning creates even more hazardous chemicals among which are cancerous dioxins.”

No studies have been done on the extent of the chemical pollution of such sites in Nigeria, but in 2008 a Greenpeace report on similar dumps in nearby Ghana confirmed that high levels of lead, phthalates and dioxins were present in soils and the water of a nearby lagoon.

A Chinese academic report published in “Environmental Health Perspectives” in 2007 confirmed that children living in the same area had higher levels of toxic metals in their blood than other children living nearby
