Question: Are You Still a Slave?


"Don't nobody tell me what to do and I go where I want to go whenever I want to go!" 


Well you are right to a certain extent. You can do whatever you want to do and you can go wherever you want to go, but consider this...


You ain't doing nothing and you ain't going nowhere! 


The slavemasters don't have to chain you down or whip your ass anymore, because you ain't doing nothing and you ain't going nowhere! You have freedom, in name, but not in definition! You are not a slave in name, but you are in definition!


The definiton of the word slave means, "one who is dominated by some outside influence and having no personal rights or freedom." Do you even remember what true freedom was all about? 
The physical chains were just one aspect amidst the many horrors of slavery! The chains are off of our hands, but we ain't producing nothing! The chains are off of our feet, but we ain't going no where! Why? Why? Why?


We have forgotten the original reason and purpose for the physical chains! The chains were to hold you down, but if you ain't trying to get up, then the chains have out lived their purpose!


Your thoughts and your actions make-up the basis upon which your entire life is built. Your thoughts and actions are the only two things that you can call your own! Those are the only two things that are truly yours! Not your money! Not your car! Not your house! Not your clothes! Not your furniture! Not your television! Not your stereo! Not your girlfriend! Not your boy friend! Not your husband! Not your wife! Not your child!


None of this can be called your own, because you came into this world without it, and you are going to leave this world without it! 


Now, getting back to the point, you are not in control of your thoughts and actions. Do you continue to do things that you know are wrong, but yet keep on doing them anyway!? You just sitting there wondering why you can't stop doing what you know is wrong. This is because you don't control your own thoughts and actions! You are a victim to a complex system of psycholoical slavery and tricknology.


The crack cocaine is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The alcohol is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The 40 ounce of Beer is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The peer pressure is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The television is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The money is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The girlfriend is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The boyfriend is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The sex is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The conceitedness is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The envy is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The ego is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The jealousy is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The materialism is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The credit card is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The self-hatred is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The appetite is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The emotion is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The racism STILL IS YOUR MASTER! 

The sexism is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The foolishness is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The ignorance is STILL YOUR MASTER! 

The true devil is STILL YOUR MASTER!!!

Everything and everybody has mastered you but your own self. So what are you going to do about it?"

The Latest Mission of Mister Blue

Felipe Khristopher Blue is a man on a mission. His mission is to change the Black perspective and empower Black men and women to become better individuals, partners, parents and community leaders. His mission statement is to empower through education and entertainment. He calls the concept E3. Through his company Empowerment Media, he, along with fellow colleagues, uses editorials and articles, presentations, seminars, workshops, interviews, videos and documentaries, music, and more to make positive changes for people that need positive changes.



His latest endeavor is improving the conditions of Black people, and that movement starts with Black men and Black women. In his first book, titled LOVE: A BLACK MAN'S PERSPECTIVE, due for release Fall 2008, Felipe addresses many issues that effect Black people. He addresses employment, education, past histories, relationships issues between man and woman and parents and children, community involvement, social norms, politics, sex and sexism, classism, ageism, racism, and the future of Black America as it lays before us on its present path and what Black people can do to make it better. He plans on working with other writers, poets, educational systems, non-profit organizations, and human service agencies, to make this project a meaningful success. His hope is that the book can galvanize change and bring forth more awareness for all those that such issues may have an impact. It's not just a Black book, it's a perspective book for all those affected by such social norms and attributes.



This book has manifested in the mind of Felipe Khristopher Blue for a number of years, but after working with a mental health agency, Charleston County School District, and the Department of Social Services, his determination to write this book was catalyzed. It was even more solidified after working with Dr. Dee Hann-Morrison on a project based on her book "Even Superwoman Needs To Cry Sometimes: An Intimacy Guide For Men Partnering With Strong Black Women". Her book is currently on sale at AMAZON.COM. She is a very interesting person and is one of the only people that helped me become more grounded and focused in the field of empowerment and in my educational pursuits.
