48 Laws of Power Explained

I've been reading, well studying these guidelines to power written by Robert Greene in 1998, It's pretty impressive. At first I thought it was some random collection of common sense google tweets someone turned into book but it is far more in depth than I'd imagined.

Oddly enough, not to sound conceited, but many of the things I read so far in the book are things I naturally do but never really took time to notice why I do them, or why they work so seeing them laid out and explained gave me a lot of insight as to why I succeed in the areas where I do and am seen as a leader and somewhat intimidating to others even upon first meeting.

I'm gonna be posting some random laws I find notable to events I see or experience depending on the days they happen so stay tuned and you might find out some stuff to help you understand or even reform your actions to gain more power in your everyday life. Won't give you all the secrets though, you gotta read for yourself for all that... (That's Laws.. Nah, can't give yall too much too quick) Stay Tune, first post in 30minutes; Law 18: Isolation is Dangerous.

Racism in Entertainment

Racism is so prevalent in todays culture even though many think its dead. For many the signs are not as obvious as to others. Police Profiling, Court Rulings, heck even in Television and Movies nowadays. Lemme give an Example:

Setting: Urban Tenaments 

Character: Michael

Personality: Angered by his environment. Mentality Twisted from being raised in a broken home

Character Flaw: He must learn to trust to make it out of the hood, but has learned that in life no one is above backstabbing

Now let me ask you this... If this were the plot to a movie you heard about, What Race would you expect the Young Man to be?

The Oscar Grant Story...

For those of who have not heard of a man named Oscar Grant, he was a 22year old African American who was partying with his friends on New Years in 2009 in Oakland, CA and while handcuffed, face down on the pavement, with three cops on his back, he was shot and killed by a 28year old Police Officer with 2years on the force who "mistakenly" grabbed his Gun instead of Tazer. 

Can You Tell The Difference?
