Media Field Day
Yeah I'm back today after a taking off this shit to work and handle other shit outside the internet world. So I was on allhiphop.com and saw a video interview on David Banner, who has a voice in the midst of darkness. After watching the video I have come to the conclusion that we need more people like this in hip-hop culture. He may not speak for all black people like your Oprahs and Jesse Jacksons, but he speaks for the young generation. In the video started right at it, what we've heard about constantly constantly on the news, Michael Vick. Banner was like 'how could we sit back and watch white America just obliterate this man like they're doing, and he's one of us'. It was something that needed to be said and something that I needed to hear. After hearing and seeing so many white correspondents and legal experts cut down this talented athlete, I needed to hear someone that I could relate to speak about it. Even though the acts that Vick was apart of was not right and inhumane, there's a lot worse shit out there to focus on. Now they done raided DMX's home and seized his dogs just off of probable cause. And even though nobody wants to jump on a sinking ship because they'll drown too, give Vick a break. It just goes to show how much underlying and concealed hatred that white folks have for us still to this day. And I almost sure that if it was a white entertainer or athlete, it would not have been as severe. But what can you do, in this society to be a successful minority, you have to be squeekly clean or else you'll be where O.J. is and where Vick is now.

Beretta Man is here
This is Bobby Beretta coming to you live from the spot where I'm typing this at, my laptop. This is my first blog so I'm going to introduce myself. I'm a 21 year old black man living in Miami a.k.a M-I-yayo and dat 3-0-5. I was born and raised here and it feels good to be from this city, I wouldn't be from nowhere else. Even though I faced hard times growing up struggling financially didn't stop my growth. Today I sit here more educated than ignorant and I owe that to my upbringing. I will speak on current events mostly in my life and in the world. I will share some of the tracks that serve as the soundtrack to my life at the given moment. And I will take questions and give the best advice I can. Ya dig? So today is a new day...the Beretta Chronicles is here. Chuuch.
