Bring the Noise




My favorite artist is Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy. They both are the perfect advocate of what they do. They took rapping to another level, they have lots of tenacity and ambition that’s why they are consider the best at what they do, also Lil Wayne has very crazy vocabulary like Malcolm X did. They both have burgeoned over the years and are buttress toward each other. Other rappers make them emulate to be the very best and nothing less. Being said that they are emulate, that means that they applied this into their lives at an early age.

Emmett Till's Murder


Emmett Till is Kidnapped and Murdered On August 24, the boys drove Wright's car into the small town of Money and stopped at Bryant's Grocery store to buy some candy. Prior to entering the store, Till pulled out some pictures of his white friends in Chicago and showed them to some local boys outside of the store. The boys dared Till to talk to Carolyn Bryant, the store clerk. Till went into the store, purchased some candy, and what happened as he was leaving is unclear. Till either said, "Bye, baby" or he whistled at Carolyn Bryant.
Neither Till nor Jones understood the magnitude of Till's act, so they did not tell Mose Wright what had happened. They continued to think nothing of the event as three days passed without incident. However, on the fourth day early Sunday morning, Roy Bryant, Carolyn's husband, and J.W. Milam, Roy's half-brother, knocked on the door of Wright's home. With a pistol and flashlight in hand, they asked Mose Wright whether three boys from Chicago were staying with him. Wright led them to the room where Till was sleeping, and the men told Till to get dressed. Wright unsuccessfully pleaded with them to just whip Till. As they were leaving, they threatened to kill Wright if he told anyone.
Several hours later, Mamie Till was notified of her son's kidnapping. A search of the area was conducted, and Mamie Till notified Chicago newspapers of her son's disappearance. Wright told Money's sheriff who had taken Till, and he arrested Bryant and Milam for kidnapping. So sad what happen to him.

Teen Pregnancy in America (Statistics & Trends)




SEXUAL ACTIVITY
•Nearly half (46%) of all 15-19-year-olds in the United States have had sex at least once.[1]
•By age 15, only 13% of teens have ever had sex. However, by the time they reach age 19, seven in 10 teens have engaged in sexual intercourse.[2]
•Most young people have sex for the first time at about age 17, but do not marry until their middle or late 20s. This means that young adults are at risk of unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for nearly a decade.[3]
•Teens are waiting longer to have sex than they did in the past. Some 13% of females and 15% of males aged 15-19 in 2008 had had sex before age 15, compared with 19% and 21%, respectively, in 1995.[4]
•The majority (59%) of sexually experienced teen females had a first sexual partner who was 1-3 years their senior. Only 8% had first partners who were six or more years older.[5]
•More than three-quarters of teen females report that their first sexual experience was with a steady boyfriend, a fiancé, a husband or a cohabiting partner.[6]

•Ten percent of young women aged 18-24 who had sex before age 20 reported that their first sex was involuntary. The younger they were at first intercourse, the higher the proportion.[7]
•Twelve percent of teen males and 10% of teen females have had heterosexual oral sex but not vaginal intercourse.[8]
•The proportion of teens who had ever had sex declined from 49% to 46% among females and from 55% to 46% among males between 1995 and 2007.[9]

These Statistics are staggering.
