Why do superhero's wear masks? Obviously that's a rhetorical question because we all know that the purpose of the mask is to protect their identity. It's not because the hero believes that he or she is unattractive, (because if that was the case the hulk would have worn a mask) but it is because at the end of the day it does not matter who the face behind the mask is. Their heroic actions are all that need to be recognized.
So why is it that in real life we measure the goodness of someone's actions based on the face behind the mask? How do people expect us to be progressive as a global society when we are trying to overcome prejudice and reform injustice by utilizing prejudice in our methods?
There has been a lot of criticism of 'Kony 2012' because of this concept of the 'white savior'. If people truly want to help one another and become progressive as a global society, the race/ethnicity/nationality of someone leading a campaign aimed towards bettering people's lives should not matter. This is less about the 'Kony 2012' video, but more of the reaction people had to it. Rather than agreeing or disagreeing with the filmmakers suggestion to amend the problem (one I personally disagree with), the focus has been on race and it always is.
I promise that in regards to act of charity the people receiving the help will only see one thing when they receive aid, and that is humanity. If our world even has the slightest chance at becoming a 'better place', we can not measure the value of good deeds based on the race of the individual.

5 REASONS WHY PRETTY GIRLS WILL BE EXTINCT IN 2012
Pretty is Power
In all relationships, the better looking of the half is almost always the de-facto leader of the situation. And, nine times out of ten the girl is cuter than the guy (and this is because guys are shallower then girls but alas, I digress). Consequently the girl is the shot-caller, which means more than half of the time you will be doing whatever it is she likes to do. This dynamic is cute for the first few weeks but if you are in this for the long haul then it turns into incremental neutering.
Believe it or not, many girls use their pretty for evil. "I don't know how to cook" means- look at me, I'm hot, we going out to a nice expensive restaurant and you're gonna open the door and pull out the chair when we get there. "I don't know how to take the bus" means- look at me, I'm hot, this tush doesn't compute anything less then the thousand thread count of Ferrari seats "I don't clean" means- look at me, I''m hot, if you want to see me naked later then you'll shut yo trap and bust some suds on them dishes.
Every Man is King
Gentlemen, if you want your power back, if you want to make a decision without a scheduled consultation, then involve yourself with a mugly girl. You are clearly easier on the eyes then she is so you can flex your authoritative muscle to no end. This ideal is not exclusive to pretty boys, any man can be a king in his relationship, that's what makes this system so great; are you a mugly guy? Cool, akunah matata, simply court a young lady that much more muglier than you, (there's gotta be someone muglier than you somewhere). To put it all in perspective for you gents the mugly girl goes as follows; DUDES, if you are an 8 or 9 your target is a 4-5, if you're a 6-7 your target is a 2-3, if you're a mug yourself you're probably scraping negatives (and that's okay).
More Bang for your Buck
To the guys still not convinced or too naive to think they'd ever involve themselves with a mugly girl, let me appeal directly to your bottom line. Mugly girls CUT better than pretty girls. There, I said it. A pretty chick, by virtue of her hawtness, puts limits and bounds in the bedroom, some more than others, "I don't swallow," "don't put that in that whole," "You wanna try whatt??" Most guys haven't had a full sexual experience in their entire lives. Let me put you on game to all the 40 year old virgins out there. "Once you go mug, there's no other girl you'll want to plug." Mugly girls are some of the most sexually uninhibited girls you'll ever know. They have bigger sexual appetites, and narrower umm ....tunnels, because they've been deprived of intimacy for so long.
OH YEAH and watch out for the big girls; if you are cutting up with a large and lovely, as my pops always says, "All you gotta do is lift up them love handles boy and a juice box awaits beneath." All in all mugly girls are better at sex because they have to be, its there compensation so they'll put up more of an effort and definitely go the extra mile.
Disease-Free
Many guys don't think about this, but whose more likely to have the clap ?? the mugly chick that's been with 3 dudes her entire pathetic life, or that hot chick who does two a days. Hot girls are way more likely to have something lurking below because more dudes approach them and even if only a few survive "the chase" they are most likely attractive fellows which means they've had a decent hit list thereby making them more likely to be "walking heavy."
Carefree is the way to be
In conclusion, I will just say that the mugly girl system is for dudes on the grind and or dudes that don't want an official attachment. If you are about you're business whether it be a rigorous course load in school and or an ambitious career you don't have time to be at the beck and call of a hot girl who wants to feel like she's the most important thing to you. You want a mugly because you make your own schedule, you determine the frequency of visits, and facilitate the activities during said visits. The mugly won't trip if visits are once every other week, or once a day, she'll be around. Additionally, you can be your full and total self around her, go ahead and fart if you want to, curse incessantly, eat that last piece of chicken, she won't mind because at the end of the day she’s just glad to be on the ride and if she's as mug as I suggest she be then she's not going anywhere anytime soon because you are and will probably be ....the best she ever had, the best she ever had.

Trey's V-Day Gift To You
Kudos for Trey for giving all of his adoring female fans a little V-day gift. Even though most ladies would go weak in the knees at the thought of getting a Valentines Day serenade from the R&B singer, a new sultry music video shall suffice.

You Dont Need To Be In A Relationship To Feel Good About Yourself
A great message to all the ladies about how you shouldn't measure your self worth based on whether you have a man to claim as yours.
I know its cuffing season but hey that's what a heater, blankets and Sex and the City dvds. Its okay to fantasize about your Mr. Big until he comes around rather than settle for a Kevin Federline just so you can feel special.
Same kinda goes for guys, is it necessary to be smashing grenades just so you can brag to your boys about how many girls you got with that weekend.
Select don't settle, because Settling= Unhappiness, and that would be kinda contradictory to our goal in life right... you know the Pursuit of Happiness.
Be sure to check out his other videos, cause this man ain't speaking nothing but the dang truth!

Cites We Love: Dormtainment
After today's freak out over Worldstarhiphop not being available, there was an uproar on every social networking cite. Not having our daily dose threw us all off. Especially as college students, its nice to have a few funny videos to watch before we tackle our stack of assignments for the night.
So just in case that WSHH fails us again here is a backup site that for me has taken the #1 spot for online comedy videos. Dormtainment is just 6 young college guys who have a knack for making hilarious video in between classes.
I suggest that all of you bookmark this page http://dormtainment.com/ .
