Pepsi Max: Jungle Fever in a Can, Baby!!!

So this past weekend Republicans celebrated the 100-year-old birthday of former president Ronald Reagan. What was disappointing to me about this was the absence of the African American narrative as it relates to his politics. Even worse, is the fact that black folks themselves didn't celebrate as "certain people" did the life of this great man. I mean everybody knows that other than any white man named Abraham Lincoln, Reagan has done the most for blacks and minorities in America. But yet Negro hypocrisy was the order of the weekend. Yep, Reagan got no love from Black folks even though unlike Obama, he created jobs for them. Yes, Reaganomics was the sperm that impregnated the mother of invention known as necessity, that birthed the entrepreneural spirit of poor people in urban communities - shout out to the 80s crack era, son!

One thing Black people didn't fail to notice were the events of Super Bowl XLV featuring the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. And of course as tribal as colored folks are, they wanted the Black coach to win, hence their support of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Personally you'd think that "my people" would embrace our post-racialness and like me, throw out all racial frames and subplots to the the game. I mean, how dare the Super Bowl be an event where race is infused? So what there are no black owners; the majority of the players are Black, no? See, unlike you folks, I'm a glass is half full sorta guy.

Black people also didn't fail to notice this Super Bowl commercial:


Now of course what I saw was a pretty hilarious commercial. But of course my people didn't find it as humorous as I did. Today, this commercial and it's obvious stereotypically racist undertones are the talk of the town all across the inna'nets. MSNBC owned, The Grio is touting the commercial as perpetuating the 'Angry Black Woman' stereotype. Which might be true to an extent, but don't we celebrate these images ourselves when we patronize NAACP Image Award nominated shows like, oh... The Real Housewives of Atlanta?

The New LeBron James Commercials...

Oh well, this is better than having your old jersey burned in Cleveland....

When Keeping it Post-Racial Goes Right! Or Maybe it Went, Wrong?

Umm, you tell me...

Oh well, at least North Carolina is doing something to close the racial gap in this country. Forty acres and a mule? Sheeeeeeeit! Who knew that all it was gonna take to fix things would be furniture? My only one question would be: where was the White woman? Oh and did that Negro say that he likes to pump iron? Umm, I'm sorry homie, but I think the only iron you push would be a metal fork. Yeah and why does Richard aka Bighead look so ashy? What, there's racial harmony in North Carolina but no lotion? Personally, I think this commercial should run on every station. Yes, it's about damn time a Black man gets to sleep on a White man's couch in America. Or, where a Black man can lay down on the job and not get fired for it?

I don't know about you, but I'm now thinking of moving my family to North Carolina.

Thank you Red House!
