Black Intel

Since, I work and live in health, my first thought after watching this video was, well maybe that is some of the reason why HIV/AIDS is spreading through our community so rapidly….However this is not what this blog is going to be about. This blog is about careers in the new age of media.  College students, I know at 18, 19 and 20 most of you are not thinking about your future job interview at a fortune 500 or as a political figure, but maybe you should. I mean the whole point of college is to get a leg up in the world and well I don’t think doing amateur porn is going to help. Now I know this is from, daredorms.com, which gives college students I think $10,000 a submission, but lets break down that math a little more. From what I peeped, there was about 4-5 ladies in the video, and I think 4-5 brothas. So on the safe side lets say 9 people were involved. So give or take a couple of cents, they all got about 1100 each. Now, I don’t know how it goes down in Florida, but every place I’ve lived, 1100 is probably rent and some bill a couple of groceries if I’m lucky. Now lets look at what this cost, since there seemed to be quite a bit of alcohol involved, I’m going to say some was purchase. Will say the video camera someone already had or borrowed, but they had to purchase a tape. And well soda…which someone please remind me later to blog on sugar and health… and well…. places it should not go other than your mouth…. but I digress.

Now lets push this a little further and think about the future cost. Someone’s parents might see this and reevaluate why they are sending their child to college. A future organization might see this and wonder if they should hire you. Your fellow campus mate, including students and teachers might see the video and have a different opinion of you as a person. These are all things that were up for sale, that cost these young students, when they decided to participate in an orgy on film.  Black folks and friends, besides the obvious health risk to participating in this type of debauchery, there is a cost that in some cases could be much higher. In the days of the internet, email, photo texts, facebook and youtube,  things that your parents might of gotten away with you might not. Each action that you film, each crazy wild picture that you take, each TMI blog you put up, could be forever immortalize on the net. Just because the Obama’s are in the Whitehouse, doesn’t mean that Blacks tax doesn’t apply. College is a learning experience, so have fun and learn, but folks, be safe…and please be smart.
