Meet The Man and The Legend James Stewart Jr.

James Stewart Jr is a professional motocross racer competing in supercross. He is known for being the first African-American to have success at the very top levels of the sport of motocross. born in Bartow, Florida, James Stewart Jr's dad James Sr., was a motocross enthusiast and introduced his son to the sport at a young age. Stewart entered his first motocross race when he was just four years old and soon went on to enjoy much success as an amateur racer.

Winning multiple Amateur national titles all before the age of 16, James made a name for himself as one of the most promising future stars of the sport. Because of his multiple amateur titles, his pro debut for the 2002 racing season was one of the most anticipated debuts in the history of the sport. While crashes and rookie mistakes kept him from winning the 2002 125 West Supercross title, he went on to dominate the 2002 125cc National Championship and was named the 2002 AMA Rookie of the Year. He was also named one of "20 Teens Who Will Change the World" in the April 2003 issue of Teen People magazine.

Stewart went on to easily win the 2003 125 West Supercross Championship but suffered a severe crash at the season ending 125 East/West Shootout in Las Vegas, Nevada. With his collarbone broken in two places as a result of the crash, he was forced to sit out the first few rounds of the 2003 AMA Motocross series, ruining his championship hopes for that series, although he won every single race he competed in after coming back from that injury.

His 2004 season went as planned as he won both the 125 East Supercross title and the 125 Outdoor national title, only losing one motocross to Mike Brown in the latter due to a broken clutch cover. For 2005 he moved up to the premier 450cc class for both the Supercross series and the Outdoor National Motocross series. While Stewart immediately showed that he had the speed to race with the top riders in supercross, a practice crash that resulted in a broken wrist at Round 2 in Phoenix meant that he would have to wait before he notched his first career supercross win.

On April 2, 2005, at Texas Stadium (in only his 3rd race), Stewart captured his very first career Supercross victory. James would go on to record many more victories throughout 2005 and 2006, and he eventually won the 2007 Supercross Championship. He was unable to finish the 2007 National series due to a knee injury.

He was unable to compete in the 2008 supercross season as he decided to take time off and have surgery to properly fix his knee. He returned to racing at the first round of the outdoor nationals and went on to win all 24 motocrosses and recorded a perfect season. He signed with L&M racing for the 2009 season to replace Chad Reed for the supercross season and is planning to compete in the outdoor national series on a limited basis.

Educating Hip-Hop

The Future is Grim for Young Black Men and Americans a like.

by Queon L. Martin

How far are you willing to go? A question I ask myself everyday, as I work tirelessly towards helping youth (especially young black men) recognize the world outside of hip-hop. Now I may not be able to drop a dope rhyme like the greatest rapper of all time B.I.G., but I can paint a picture like Norman Mailer to get my point across.

"I have freed a thousand slaves, I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves." -- Harriet Tubman

The direction where hip-hop is heading will become fatal for young black men in America to succeed, unless we educate disenfranchised youth in the hip-hop culture with information that will improve their way of life. This blog will uncover two major issues that have crippled young black men and Americans in general. The PRISON SYSTEM and CENTRAL BANKING better know as the FEDERAL RESERVES.

"None are more hopelessly enslaved, than those who falsely believe they are free."

-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749-1832

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates there are about 5 million black men in America between the ages of 20 and 39 losing ground in mainstream American society, despite advances made by black women, presumably part of the same socioeconomic experience. Black men 16 and older are arrested each year, creating police records that hinder future job prospects. Black men may be more likely than whites or Latinos to be arrested on drug charges and subsequently released for lack of evidence.

The Pew report found that judges who would likely opt for community-based corrections programs such as fines, restitution; home detention, probation, electronic monitoring, and drug diversion programs don't because these options are scare. The programs are poorly funded and operated, or are non-existent. For the first time in history more than one in every 100 adults in America are in jail or prison. Black males still make up more than half of America's prison inmates. They are four times more likely than whites and twice as likely as Hispanics to be jailed.

As prison populations expand, costs to states are on the rise. Last year alone, states spent more than $49 billion on corrections, up from $11 billion 20 years before. However, the national recidivism rate remains virtually unchanged, with about half of released inmates returning to jail or prison within three years. And while violent criminals and other serious offenders account for some of the growth, many inmates are low-level offenders or people who have violated the terms of their probation or parole.

Putting thousands of black men behind bars for mostly non-violent offenses has had staggering consequences. It has wreaked massive social and political havoc on families and communities. It has been the single biggest reason for the bloat in federal and state spending on prison construction, maintenance, and the escalation in the number of prosecutors needed to handle the continuing flood of criminal cases. This is the modern day slave drive... Capitol and Cattle.

HOW DID WE GET HERE?

"Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see"
-- Martin Luther King Jr.

There is something behind the thrown, greater than the king himself.

-- Sir William Pitt, House of Lords 1770

There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by sword. The other is by debt. --President John Adams 1797-1801

The bold efforts the present bank had made to control the government... Are but premonitions of the fate that awaits the American people should they be deluded into perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it.
-- President Andrew Jackson 1829-1837

Slavery is but the owning of labor and carries with it the care of the laborers... -- The Hazard Circular, July 1862


J.D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, Paul Warburg and Baron Rothschild sought after legislators to put together a central banking system. A Congressional investigation was put together and led by Senator Nelson Aldrich who had ties with the banking cartel and later married into the Rockefeller family, recommended that central banking be put in place to prevent New York's banks from going under. In 1910 the federal reserve act bill was put together not by law makers but by bank owners. And in 1913 the bill was signed by newly elected President Woodrow Wilson already agreed to sign the act. His presidential campaign was heavily sponsored by the bankers.

The real truth of the matter is that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson.
-- President Franklin D. Roosevelt 1933

For ever dollar that is printed, there is an interest rate attached to it. We then have to borrow more money to pay for the interest rate which puts us in deeper dept. Which keeps us enslaved to the Federal Reserves. I'm here to educate the minds of youth with information that is essential to improving their way of life. And I ask those who share the same passion as I, to bring awareness to the system that has caused us all to fail. As Lawrence Fishburne said in School Daze, WAKE UP!
