The Matrix

I found it interesting how some movies can describe certain or current views of our lives. Now most people would tend to have a realistic movie reflect their lives. It is rare that a SCI fi/fiction movie can describe our modes or our view points at the time. Well at the moment, the movie that I can relate to, at the moment, is the matrix. Now I bet you wondering how this movie applies to me. Well since you asked, I guess I will tell y'all.

In the matrix, Neo has a normal 9 to 5 like everyone else. When he meets Morpheus, he world gets turned upside down. Neo is offered two choices; take the blue pull and keep living the life he is living or take the red pill and learn the truth. After taking the red pill, Neo awakens in the true world where the machines have taken over the world  and humans are plugged into the matrix while being used as batteries for the machines. Now that you have a brief some what description of the movie, let's continue.

As I see it, at one point in life everyone is Neo. Right now, I'm Neo. For the most part of my life, I have been plugged into the matrix. Now everyone have their own matrix. Mine so happened to be school. Now I did the whole college route to in the hopes of getting a job. After I took the red pill aka graduated from college, I entered the real world. Boy I tell you life outside the matrix is no joke. You have bills to pay, student loans to pay, and other less desirable adult like things while trying to find my way in life.

While finding my  way, I deal with my fair share of Agent Smith.  Agent Smith was in charge of keep law and order in the matrix and fight the resistance. My Agent Smith consist of folks who want me to plug back into the matrix by saying either go to grad school or work at one of these jobs that basically turn you into a corporate robot. Ain't no one got time for that.

That's how the matrix applies to my life. As I continue to fight the matrix aka making it in the real world, I hope and pray I can find my way while also unplugging folks from the matrix. 

Things I don't get

"Nigga ain't Shit." "Where the real men at." "I need a real nigga in my life." If you are African America, or hang with some black people, then it's a strong possibility that you have heard the above quotes come out of the mouths of a black female. Time and time again, 8 out of 10 black females will complain about how hard it is to find a good man and how "niggas" ain't Shit. REALITY CHECK.....NIGGAS HAVE NEVER BEEN, ARE NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE SHIT.

The problem I see is that most black females are want a nigga with real man qualities. They want a guy with a nigga mind set that will treat them how a real man treats her will honor, respect, and all that other good stuff.  In my 24 years of life, I have never ever seen a nigga treat a women right. You can't expect a grown man who is known not to be faithful, not have a job, got a tom kids, and no ambition to change just because you with him now. Then after the female finally realize this, they develop a case of MBWS aka Mad Black Woman Syndrome. At this phrase, all men in their eyes are "niggas" and can't be trusted. 

When a real man comes to them, they will either get the cold shoulder, disrespected, get put in the friend zone, or simply get looked over for that nigga. After this happens a few times, the real man will either become a nigga, or commit the number one sin in the eyes of 7 out 10 black females.....date/marry a white female.
 
At the end of the day, there are real men in the world ladies. They will treat you right, support you, and give you everything they have to make you happy. When you meet him, don't chose a nigga over him, or let MBWS cloud your judgment. If you do, you will probably join the "where the real men" club along work the millions of other African American females.
