Had, Husselled, & Hoodwinked???

Is it possible that we as members of society are being had, hussled, and hoodwinked in facets of our lives that we'd never expect???

WORK: Think about it...I work in a corporate environment, where people instill such fear in "underlings" that folks are afraid to approach them even on a human level. This especially with peeps who are of a higher status in title (CEOs, VPs, etc). I mean hell, they sit so high on their horse that if a person of say my stature dare approaches them, then there's a high possiblity that I will be reprimanded for doing such. You're probably asking, who the **** do these people think they are? God? Yes, believe you me...I've often asked the same question on many occassions.

TV: When you're done dwelling on that note, think about the powers of influence that are having such a great effect on our 'folk. I am a black female, so ideally Black Entertainment Television (BET) is supposed to cater to me. I was deeply disturbed, however, when I watched Confessions of a BET Producer. Disturbed at how a coorporation has taken something that was meant to empower, enlighten, and allow 'folk to vent out their frustration, and essentially turn it into something that they PURPOSEFULLY set out to negatively influence 'folk, and profit from. Let me break it down in lamens terms, the KKK are getting BILLIONS of dollars off of us demoralizing, degrading, & disrespecting one another. LOL (maybe that was a little extreme) but you get the point. But seriously, when you think about it...these people don't even have to lay a finger on us, because we are doing the dirty work for them, and making them soo much money by doing so. I actually thought about calling my cable company and having them remove the channel off of my box...I even took it further and thought about creating a BOYCOTT BET website. Then I thought about that fact that there are people who work there and have families or are trying to survive and pay bills (almost like a prostitute, doing whatever they have to do to get paid---but I digress)...and I'm not into taking food out of people's mouths. But damn, can a sista get some balance? It is just frustrating, because I know that a change isn't going to come until their numbers are affected. I may just need to start that website, huh?

POLITICS: Now let's move onto politics. Conspiracy theory: Recall on Spinach, Dog Food Recall??? How much do you want to make a bet that there is more to this story than the goverment is willing to reveal. The terrorist did warn us you know.

Had, Husselled, & Hoodwinked??? I think so.
