So proud to feature this man's work! I have always known he has some ill shit!

Here's to you Hank!

Land of the Sun finally shines...

Yesterdays new iPhone announcement was a bitter sweet moment for myself. Yes, it's the most amazing device every created. Yes, it's founder Steve Jobs labeled it "his new baby". Yes, it has more features then a fully equipped Aston Martin...Yes! We know...we know.

What we don't know is the amount of hard work and labor that goes into each and every phone that touches our gluttonous hands. Foxconn, the Chinese factory that assembles and manages each iPhone, has had an astounding number of suicides this year. The company has given it's official political statement about the deaths. Out of respect for each life lost, I won't even restate such garbage. Basically, they (Foxconn) claimed they didn't know why each employee wanted to terminate their own life. Hmmmm...maybe it's the $132 a month they were being given for 18 hour work days. Or could it possibly be that the 400,000 employees (that's not a typo), work like machines -round the clock- attempting to meet insane quotas. Of course your cringing at the thought of how you helped create this atrocity by demanding these devices. Hell, I even typed this memo on an iPhone...

Luckily, amazing things can happen when people are pushed too far, sometimes they break...other times they do the breaking. In fact, something amazing is happening in China right now...workers are beginning to revolt! Last month, nearly 2,000 Chinese workers went on strike at a Honda factory in southern China. The strike then became a movement, spreading across the mainland, halting production at every single Honda factory in China. Also, this past May 28th, another 1,000 workers refused to work due to low wages. This time it was Hyundai...this time it was in Beijing. Even the Chinese government, not known for it's hospitality, has joined the fray by mandating laws to protect those overworked and underpaid. A revolution is brewing, and I can't escape the joy that comes along with it.

Those Honda workers I talked about ..offered a 24% raise to return to work.

Those Hyundai workers I just spoke of...given a 15% raise along with a conditional extra 10% raise due in July.

Lastly, that small city known as Foxconn that I opened with...50% pay increase within three months.

With a big smile and a even bigger sigh of relief, I say congrats to those affected. Now I can sleep well knowing that things are and will get better...

A CREW OF 4 A MIND OF 1

RANDOM RACIST STORY..

UGLY but TRUTH:

I was twelve years old visiting family in South Carolina. Me and my cousins were playing basketball on a GRASS court (it was insane how we were doing this). One of my cousins in the group had shot the ball over the gate. Everybody immediately froze up and no one wanted to go get the ball.

So I said:

"Why ya'll scared to get the ball for.. just go get the ball."

And they said:

"We not allowed to go in his yard!"

So I jumped the fence, walked to the ball and picked it up. As I took my first step to leave, I heard a shotgun being cocked.

--At that moment I realized that, my cousins meant they couldn't go in the yard because they didn't want to die. I turned around to a big white man standing on the porch..

He said:

"What you doing in my yard nigg(er)?"

My father came running out the house to get me from the yard.

My father said:

"He's not from here and doesn't know how things (work) down here."

GOOD OLD AMERICAN EQUALITY :)
