Food For Thought: Conversations With T.I. [VIDEO]

Dec, 1 2010 | Written by ATLien

Clifford “T.I.” Harris is featured on the latest edition of BET?s Food For Thought, where he was grilled by Stephen A. Smith, Angie Martinez, Harry Allen and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.

The interviews were conducted prior to Tip’s recent battles with the law, but he still manages to give you a bit of insight during the interview as to why he feels the prison system just isn’t for him.

?To be candid with you, I learned, man, prison ain?t for gangsters, prison is for losers,? he told Smith. ?Gangsters find ways to avoid prison. Gangsters find ways to exit the game and legitimize their businesses and learn how to turn their strengths into enterprises.?

?If you look around in a prison, at least myself, I saw thieves, I saw burglars, I saw crackheads, I saw, you know, the same people that I would walk around on the street, and you would never associate with these people out of respect for yourself,? he added. ?Ok, so if you?re on the street and you?re looking at these people and you are above their standards, how do you and them end up in the same place, one bed next to each other? I got to be better than that.?

Quote of the Day: Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed *Video*

Jan, 4 2010 | Written by ATLien

Atlanta’s 59th Mayor, Kasim Reed, has been officially inaugurated into office but he began his day early this morning at an Interfaith Inaugural Prayer Service at Ben Hill United Methodist Church.

Reed grew up in the church along with his mother and three brothers and his voice broke as he spoke about growing up in his southside church home. The first time he spoke in public, he said, was in Ben Hill United Methodist Church. Four minutes away from the home where he was raised.

In his speech, Reed spoke of his desire to create a better Atlanta and how community involvement is key:

?If our children cannot rise to the highest levels of this city, what have we become? We?ve got to look in the mirror Atlanta. I am going to work today and focus on making sure that mothers and fathers have a job to make sure they can look their children in the eyes.?
