“Why Men Lie?”

a short story by Jesse Lee Jankins ( Tyler 's brother)

About The Author: Jesse lives by a simple motto: “Consider me an asshole over a fool any day” One of Jesse's major pet peeves is the emasculation of the black male, a social trend he calls The Black Male Exploitations Era 1990 to 2007 as compared to the Black Film (“Blaxploitation”) Exploitations of the 1970s. Blaxploitation , refers to films made with little or no attention to quality or artistic merit but with an eye to a quick profit, sales and promotion techniques emphasizing some sensational aspect of the product and often excessive sex, violence, and gore.

Who Do I Trust? Me, That's Who!

Before I begin, a small disclaimer. If MTV were to film an episode of “Cribs” in my home, there would be no posters of Scarface on my walls. I will not put any there because I do not want to inadvertently endorse his decisions about making money, but I understand the statement people are making. Most fans of the movie are not those who enjoy the gory violence and gangster lifestyle (although if you do, that's a plus); it is the “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” story of Tony Montana that gives inspiration. People do not want to emulate Tony and make their money dealing drugs and killing people. Instead they admire his ability to climb to the top of his chosen profession, by hook or crook, and actually rise above his caste....Read More

 

CAUBLINASIAN

Tiger made this term famous when he used it to describe his mixed ethnicity. A simple term made up by mixing Caucasian, black, Indian, and Asian into one word caused a huge debate. Ten years after Tiger mentioned the term on Oprah, I am still asked if I'm one of those guys who think they are Caublinasian. My laid-back nature does not allow me to be upset at the question, but it is frustrating to hear. Tiger said he developed the term as a child to help identify himself. I can totally relate. I remember answering the question of what's my nationality by simply stating that I'm part of the human race. Can't we all just get along? To this day, I refuse to answer race/ethnicity questions on surveys. I simply check “Other” and write in “Does it Really Matter?”....Read More

Avoiding Parenthood

Once upon a time, men confronted with news of an unintended pregnancy knew what was expected of them. Often they married the woman who was carrying their child; for those tempted to behave irresponsibly, society devised the shotgun wedding. Women, too, knew what was expected of them. They tended to be very careful about sex. If they didn't always wait until they were married, they waited for a relationship that seemed to be marriage-bound.

It wasn't a perfect system, and it didn't guarantee perfect happiness, but on the whole it was realistic: It recognized that sex has consequences. It bound men to the women they impregnated and made sure that a child had a father, as well as a mother......I'm glad the days of marrying women just because they got pregnant are over. My father got his first wife pregnant at 18. They married and by the time he was my age - nearly 26 - he had been married for almost a decade and had three kids. The marriage did not last. It was not based on love or any of the other things marriage should be based on. It was based on a dangerous social norm....Read More

Managing Technology

“Unlock Your Phone's Potential” In America , about 75% of eligible consumers have a cell phone. People are becoming more and more dependent on their cell phones, even ditching the normal method of communicating by installing local service from the local telephone company. Even still, America is way behind in cell phone usage in relationship to other developed countries around the world. Most consumers look at the cell phone as a telephone, using it primarily for voice communications. In major markets like Western Europe , South Korea , and Japan the market is pretty much 100% saturated, but consumers there aren't just using the cell phone to talk to people. In South Korea , which is probably the most advanced market when it comes to cell phones, consumers are using their phone to conduct video calls, search the web, and email.
