I’m a single dad, I’ve been with my son since before birth. talking to him while he was still in his mothers womb. Seconds after birth he recognized my voice opened his eyes and smiled at me while reaching out.  I raised my son as a single father since he was three. That’s him next to the D.N.A. model we worked on together. That’s also him at three years old at the end of the video.  “Please daddy dont leave“.

This song was inspired by him.  WHILE LEAVING FOR WORK MY SON SAID CRYING PLEASE DADDY DON’T LEAVE, STAY WITH ME.  I PROCEEDED TO WORK THAT DAY WITH  TEARS IN MY EYES, AND AFTERWARD TOOK MANY DAYS OFF TO GIVE HIM WHAT ALL OF OUR CHILDREN NEED.

UNITED SCHOLASTIC STUDENT MOTIVATIONAL PROGRAM  was also inspired by him and my experience with the public school system.
 

I live in the city, an African American neighborhood, where their is a lack of fathers present to support and giude their children.

I sacrificed jobs and money to personally walk my son thru his formative years. I really felt all alone, mostly mothers and their children. Many without fathers present in their lives. I sacrificed also dating because I felt it would distract me from my double duties. His mother was not available. Many mothers overwhelmed me with their request for me to be there for their children and be a good influence for their sons too.  Where were their fathers ? Some working, some not there. I reluctantly turned the mothers down because, they were not willing to make the same sacrifices. They were not aware of the some of the  issues and beleifs I was instilling in my son that were absent in their lives. Not only did I not have time or extra to sacrifice ,but trying to combine the up bringing of my child, as a single father and help with their children, would have been too much for me to handle . Being an only child I took on the roll of being father, mother, brother, and friend.
I taught him computers before kindergarten, and stayed close to  him all along the way as he maintained an A average. He graduated from grammar school Valedictorian 3.9 average. I was so proud of him and glad I made the sacrifice.
Hes a junior in high school now, and so far wer’e beating the odds…….Now college ,,,,some how Im going to pull that off too.

A Fathers Involvement makes a Biiiiig difference. http://www.myspace.com/scorpi2000radicalroots

DO THEY HAVE THE POWER TO EFFECT PEOPLES OPINIONS AND CHANGE THE RESULTS OF AN ELECTION ?

I WISH SOMEONE WOULD BRING UP THIS ISSUE ON ONE OF THE MAJOR NEWS STATIONS AND LETS SEE HOW THEY REACT.

I think the media is owned and or controLled by the same group that wants to stay in power. The will or wants of the majority of the American people are secondary to the goal of the controlling elite. The media is a tool they use to convince the public to support thier agenda. Example: All tv and radio stations are owned by someone. Who ever that is has control over the content and views of its comentators. Who ever controls the flow of information also controls what most people believe. So for example: Bush was trying to get every one to support him in his efforts to invade Iraq and many people were against it including the U.N. and many other countries. Anyone that protested his desicion were demonized, accussed of being anti American, unpatiotic, and publicly portrayed by the media as the vilian. If I remember correctly some comentators were even fired for voicing thier opinion against going to war. Many of the politicians who actualy disagreed with going to war, were afraid they would be portrayed as being unamerican if they voted against it. Afraid that the media would demonize them and destroy thier political carriers.

I also remember when Bush was running for office and the media said he was loosing, he said he had some friends in the media, made a phone call, and before my eyes the media changed thier position.

WHO HAS THE POWER TO CONTROL THE MEDIA ? AND WHAT IS THIER AGENDA ?

I am troubled by the current issues of race and discrimination in America.

First of all I am grateful and proud to be an American citizen.

Second I am a realist. All that is true, factual, did occur, or is occurring , no matter how bad ,unbelievable or embarrassing to me or anyone else has to be excepted in order for me to make an accurate calculation or judgment as to what to do next . What choices I make , or which direction I choose in my travels thru life will effect my survival and the survival of my children and their children .

The information that I use to navigate thru life has to be accurate and based on facts for me to have a chance of achieving my goal of first surviving my self, and then possibly securing the survival of my children by teaching them what I learned from my survival experiences?

Every creature that has successfully existed on earth for thousands of years, including us are born with the physical attributes to survive. The other survival factors are learned from their parents and or environment?

These are some of the questions that I ask myself when trying to gather facts to use when making decisions that may effect my immediate, and future survival, of myself and my children.

I ask that anyone reading this also ask yourself honestly these questions and possibly comment?

Why is there so much violence and killing in the black communities?

What are the factors that cause some species to become extinct?

Why did the United States have a civil war that manifested in millions of its own citizens killing each other?

How was it possible that people were accused and killed for being witches in Salem?

How was it possible for one human being to see another human as being less than human?

How was Hitler able to convince his fellow Germans to go along with persecuting and killing the Jewish people?

Why did one race of human feel justified to enslave another race of human and continue the practice for hundreds of years?

Are their humans today that feel they are superior to others?

What made the 911 terrorist so angry or threatened that they would go thru such extremes and sacrifice their own lives to kill thousands of American people?

What was the reason one country would sell another country chemical weapons designed to kill other humans?

What is the phenomenon that causes one country to go to war with another country?

Why is it important that crimes against humanity that happened years ago be remembered and still be an issue of concern today?

Who is on the top of the food chain in the animal kingdom and why?

Who is on the top of the food chain of the human race and why?

Is it possible for a race of people to become extinct, and what would be the factors that could cause such extinction?

Is the quest to be on top of the human food chain the reason that man would kill another man?

In the animal world, such as with dogs that are bread and known for their genetic qualities, like some are known to be gentile as a genetic trait, or some are known to be more intelligent, or some known as vicious. E.t.c. Do these phenomena also apply to human genetic qualities?

What is the main purpose of all religions?

Why is it that in the animal Kingdom it is rare that animals kill for sport, but only for survival reasons?

Why is it that some humans feel its ok to kill for sport?

Why are religious and spiritual scriptures so important to man that they felt the need to pass it on for thousands of years?

Is it necessary for all humans to live in peace to secure the survival of the human race?

Why is it that some humans want to rule the world and others are content with living in peace with the world?

I believe and see that because of the past discrimination of African Americans some of white Americans may feel that an African American would be a possible risk being President of this country.

Some of them might feel that we may treat them the way some of them have treated us. THIS IS NOT TRUE BY ANY MEANS. but some may truely fear this. I think this is one of the reasons Barack is under the microscope in such an exrteme way.

Thats why what J Wright and Farhkan say are so alarming to some and what I concider as insensitive and counter productive. These fears that exist are real and must be adressed with extreem sensitivity. It must be taken as seriuos as our sensitivities to their veiw and treatment of us as black Americans.

The fact that they are concidering the possibility of a black President shows me that for one, many Americans are changing their views about race,and are now open, for what ever reasons, to give a black man a try.

So I think we should be sensitive to their fears of us, just like we would like them to be sensitive to our fears and suspicions of them.
Barrack is not campaining for the rights of one particular group.
He is campaining for the rights of human beings.

And if anyone hasnt noticed, THIS INCLUDES EVERYBODY.
LETS MOVE FORWARD AND BREAK DOWN THESE RACIAL BARRIERS

BARACK OBAMA IS THE ONE PERSON IN THIS PRESIDENTIAL RACE THAT CAN DO IT.

NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY IF THEY AQUIRED THE POSITION BY TAKING OUT THIER COMPITITION
By scorpi2000 – Mar 28th, 2008 at 6:12 pm EDT

When we allow or accept anyone to be declaired a winner when they have won a race by taking out ,or slowing down thier opponent, we are not choosing the best qualified TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY.

We, and I mean all Americans, should be very careful not to elect anyone who wins a race by taking out thier competition by distorting the facts.

I think a person who wins this way is the person most likely to lead us into trouble.

It seriously concerns me when such a great country would on one hand go balistic if this occured in any of thier sport events, but allow it to occur when choosing the leader of the most powerful nation in the world.

Could this be the reason why America is loosing its quest to be a strong and respected country?Could this be why our economy is having so much trouble?

If we spend our energies developing a new and better energy source we may have a chance to avoid a ww3 or 4 and dont forget they have been fighting each other for eons.
We need to develope a new energy source like our lives depended on it.

This is the end of an interesting conversation I had with a blogger about diplomacy or war  

Sorry went to another sight .
I concider this like vietnam, its not a world war yet.
I think Iran got spooked when we went into Iraq.
Also I think Iran got big headed after we accidently took out one of their obsticles Irag,.Sadam.

Who we set up to be a block .
Big mistake. Now we got a bigger problems.
If we take them out, we create bigger problems.
Thats why russias arming up.
The Oil supply.
Someone accidently, upset the delicate balance of power in that region.
US.
Sombody needs to do somthing fast.
Isreal will be colateral damage compared to what will happen if things jump off.
China?
Russia?
Saudi Arabia ?
Our oil supply?
Get the picture?
Either somebody starts doing some fast talking. or your vision of ww3
and 4 will be a reality.
Lets keep in touch, I understand where youre comin from.
I think theirs still time for diplomacy.
But thats just my opinion.
Talk to you later.

Diplomacy, War , or, peace, develope a new source of energy as if our lives depended on it.

  Take your pick.

scorpi2000 aka carl

I dont see how anyone can come to the conclusion that
its a bad idea to try diplomacy.
Isnt that how Reagan got Russia to stand down after years of the cold war thing.
Hum, ended the war without firing a shot.
Can’t get any better than that.
That by itself,should prove alot
The right person can make a big differece.
It doesnt matter if its Democratic or Republican its who’s doing the talking.

I can see why no one trusts or responds to the Bush distort the truth type of diplomacy.

BUSH AND HIS BUDDIES ARE NOT TRUSTED ENOUGH TO PULL OFF THIS TYPE OF DIPLOMACY.

THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEEN WATCHING.

SOMEONE OUR ENIMIES WOULD TRUST AND RESPECT IN A SERIOUS CONVERSATION ABOUT PEACE.

• POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO FAILING PUBLIC SCHOOLS
  

• By scorpi2000 – Jan 10th, 2008 at 7:10 pm EST
  Copyright 1992 Carl B. Edmondson

• Chicago, Il.

• UNITED SCHOLASTIC STUDENT MOTIVATIONAL PROGRAMS

• The USSMP are designed to stimulate a positive motivational learning atmosphere. This concept for the inner city schools, makes the students, parents, and teachers partners in a group effort. As most of us with children have noticed, The Public school system has a lack of enthusiasm from students, teachers and parents. Many efforts have been made to improve the grade point averages of America’s inner city youth, with little progress. ,.

• The teachers say it is the parents and students,

• The parents Say it is the teachers and school system.

• Others say it is a lack of finances.

• Well, I say it’s a lack of motivation in the Right areas.

• OUR CHILDREN CAN BE  MOTIVATED IN A POSITIVE WAY TO PURSUE THIS KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION THE SAME WAY COMMERCIALS, ADVERTISERS, AND THE MEDIA GET PEOPLE TO, BUY THEIR PRODUCTS,  TO WEAR THE LATEST FASHIONS, AND FOLLOW THE LATEST TRENDS, ETC.

• MARKETING STRATEGIES 

•  In today’s society most households in the inner city, have either a single parent working, or both parents working to maintain the basic standards of living.

• With the single parent or both parents working fulltime, there is little time or energy left to create and sustain a productive environment for their children.

• It is well known that a child forced to learn will not excel as well as child that is positively motivated.

• Most children do not understand the importance of acquired knowledge.

• To them it is something that has to be done, something forced upon them by their parents.

• Many will ­realize the importance of a good education only after they become adults.

• How do we insure they get this knowledge?

• We as parents and teachers must motivate, teach, coerce, reward, support+, get involved and do whatever is necessary to de­liver to our children the knowledge they need.

•  What I am talking~ about is triggering~ in our children the will, the need, and the reasons to want to learn.

• There is an enthusiasm that is within every child. But it is misguided ~and wasted in areas that have no substantial, Long~ term payback for their futures.

• Our children are constantly being influenced more by the media and peer pressure than with the public school sy­stem and parents. 

• The results of this are low grade point~ averages and a lack of enthusiasm for learning the things that would most benefit their futures as well as ours.

• It is a well known fact that the media has no problem ~getting~ our children’s undivided ~attention. Music, fashions, gangs, video games, television etc., all seem to have more influence on the direction of our youth than parents and the school system.

• Yes, our children are being motivated in very big Way. But this motivation is not leading or benefiting~ our children in a positive direction.

• These strong motivational factors (marketing strategies) are being used to benefit those who only seek financial gain for themselves. Very little is being recirculated to benefit our children’s’ education and their future.

•  We all start off in life compared to a brand new com­puters with little or no information in it. We are capable of ~absorbing and storing vast amounts of information. We all have short term and long term memory banks within our brains in which we store surface information and permanent information.

• Depending on the strength of influence that information has on us, determines whether we retain it or not.

• The importance of education, if not instilled in our children, will become trivial information compared to the Excitment of new toys, fads, fashions, TV programs, movies and music.

• All of these things to most children are far more important than Math, English, Science, Engineering, and Business etc.

• If a child is exposed to learning two different subjects on his own such as Math and video games,the child would learn more about the video games at a faster pace, with more enthusiasm than he would Math. 

• This is be­cause one is more exciting or stimulating.

• Most children do not understand the need for complicated Math problems. The need that is there is not generated from the child’s understanding of why it should be used.

• There involvement is more than likely a forced issue. His Parents demand that he perform in these areas for which he may have little interest.

•  With these factors in mind, I would like to introduce to the public and media a new organization called

• UNITED SCHOLASTIC STUDENT MOTIVATIONAL PROGRAMS

• (USSMP)

• The main goal of USSMP will be to use the same

• marketing strategies and motivational tactics used by the mass media and commercials to stimulate our children and get their undivided attention; 

• Utilizing these strong motivational forces and marketing strategies to create an ENVIRONMENT in and around our schools.

• This will trigger an enthusiasm for learning that has long been lost.

• THAT’S RIGHT MAKE IT EXCITING AND STIMULATING TO GO TO SCHOOL BY ADDING A SEPARATE INDEPENDENT NON FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATION SPECIFICALLY CREATED AS A SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS.

• THE SOLE PURPOSE OF U.S.S.M.P. IS TO MAKE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND ALL SUBJECTS AND CLASSES, STIMULATING, EXCITING, FUN AND REWARDING, WITHOUT ADDING MORE WORK FOR THE TEACHERS

FAIR COMPITITION LEADS TO A BETTER SOCIETY

When this aproach to survival ,is embraced, and put into action, the individual, the race,the culture, the society, the country, or the nation using it, has actually jeapordized its own future existance, peace and survival. When this aproach to life is used against another human being you have now forced him to either, adopt the same concept to protect himself, ATTACK, flee, be detroyed or dehumanized.Any and all wars are a product of this phenomina.As history has always repeated itself in previous societies, after building and maintaining a great society based on these concepts, they all fail because of the same concept that created them.
Colapsing from within , its own people using the concept on themselves, or because the other countries, in fear of you doing the same to them, rush to become powerful enough to protect themselves, or try to do you, before you do them.It will only end when we as human beings stop using this conceptto, gain power, maintain power, gather resources or secure survival.We should immidiatly start using our power and knowledge today to first protect ourselves from that which has already been set in motion long time ago. Build and maintain a strong military for defence purposes only.At the same time, create a self sufficient, self sustaining society in America containing a balance of all races and cultures around the world.

We must teach all children the reasons, rules and laws of existing in a peacful inclusive society.

The other way it can end is if the concept of (win any way you can) evolves to a point where the use of this way of life spreads around the country, spreads around the world, and manifests into a massive war that destroys most, leaving only the meak to inherit the earth.
SOUNDS FAMILIAR DOESNT IT.

RADICALROOTS -

 A THEME I DIRIVED FROM AN ALGERBRA BOOK,

ROOTS AND RADICALS,

TO GIVE NAME TO OUR SONG WRITING TEAM, AND A WAY OF LIFE THAT PROMOTES PEOPLE MULTIPLYING THERE POSITIVES. REPRESENTED BY THE EQUATION

,(THE SQUARE ROOT OF X SQUARED). OR A

 (POSITIVE TIMES A POSITIVE EQUALS A POSITIVE).

 REPLACE X THE UNKNOWN WITH US AS HUMANBEINGS MULTIPLYING ONLY OUR POSITIVE ATTRIBUTES.

THE RESULT WILL EQUAL A POSSITIVE. SO WHEN ONE INDIVIDUAL SAYS TO ANOTHER,

(RADICALROOTS),

ITS AKNOWLEGING AND AGREEING TO MULTIPLY THE POSSITIVES .

 NO HUMAN BEING IS PERFECT.THERE IS GOOD AND BAD IN ALL OF OUR LIVES. IF WE AS HUMANS MULTIPLY OUR POSSITIVES THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE, NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. OUR SONGS AND MUSIC ARE PART OF OUR EXSPRESION OF THIS CONCEPT.

LETS BE UNDERSTANDING AND SENSITIVE TO EACH OTHERS FEARS……………… ITS TIME FOR AMERICA TO COME TOGETHER
By scorpi2000 – May 13th, 2008 at 6:54 pm EDT

There is clearly a fear in white America, that a black American, can objectivly and without bias be the leader of thier country. The same country that no one other than one of them has ever been in charge of.

I believe and see that because of the past discrimination of African Americans some of white Americans may feel that an African American would be a possible risk being President of this country.
