Waka Flocka, Baracka Flocka, & What Tha Focka!

My favorite "Respectable Negro" of all time, Chaucey DeVega, has an awesome post up which addresses the new viral video smash making the rounds on the internet that satirizes Barack Obama [read here]. In a parody of Hip Hop's latest epic fail emcee slow-bus-sounding, "I dropped out at kindergarten," Waka Flocka Flame. The producers of the video cleverly extrapolate the perceptions held by many of Obama's success.

Check it out:


Now, I offer no apology to the members of the black delegation for finding humor in the above video. Yes, I realize that some of you are still shaking your heads after watching that. But as a a person with a penchant for the tragicomic, and a love for everything Aaron McGruder, I laughed my black ass off at the above video. I mean let's be honest, isn't this how "certain people" have viewed the man who sleeps in the White House?

Moving right along because there's a point to this post, checkout the following video that I also found to be hilarious. I discovered it over at a blog I stumbled upon last night called Angry White Dude. Um, yeah, with a blog name like that you can only imagine the racism content or the political leanings of Mr. White Dude:


I found this to be just as funny as the Baracka Flocka Flame video. I mean, it's not like racism isn't a marketable commodity in America, right Tea Party/GOP? Yes, racism too can be a consumer commodity much like the White Woman Workout exercise video. Hell, Angry White Dude thought it was funny and had this to say about it in response:

One question I have for Ty Bowmann. Is it exercise combined with racism as you say? Or is it exercise combined with experience and common sense? Let’s not split hairs here, Ty. Look at the crime data about black men attacking white women and then compare the crime data of white men attacking black women. Go ahead, I’ll wait. The numbers become even more meaningful when one considers black men make up less than 6% of the US population. Even then, some of that 6% are the very young and elderly. I don’t think it’s racism if white women avoid black males. I’d say it’s pretty damn good sense…according to crime data. Still, pretty funny video.

Yes, Angry White Dude saw the racism and of course found it to be funny just like I did. But of course I'm neither angry or white, so the humor of the video is and was internalized differently by the both of us. Which is funny because I doubt members of the black delegation upset and disappointed with Baracka Flocka Flame, feels the same way about Ty Bowman's video, wherein the joke is on the white women, and not black men.

Charlie Rangel: Don't Leave Me Swinging in the Wind [Hilarious Video]

You might not like him, but I love New York, and I think it's dope that he kicked ass and won his primary. So what he's facing ethics charges, he beat five challengers like they were silly; yep, Harlem loves Charlie dammit.

But even better than his victory which pretty much guarantees his re-election, is the following video:


I really love the fact that not even the auto-tune couldn't prevent him from sounding like a Jewish Elmer Fudd after a carton of cigarettes and a 48 hour meth binge. Not that I would know anything about that, but...

Wasn't that video awesome?

Education: How Do We Reach Out to Kids that Just Don't Give a Shit?

Look, there have been many movies made about the one teacher dedicated enough to turn some delinquent, half-drugged-out, where's-my-momma, and are-you-my-daddy teenager into a Rhode Scholar.

But sadly, the national graduation rate still sucks. You know what that tells me? It tells me that the problem may not be the kids, but that there aren't enough teachers who give a shit.

The combination of teachers who don't give a shit, with kids who don't give a shit, is a sure fire recipe for disaster. Sure it's easy to pass the buck and blame the parents, but err, they're not the ones in our schools.

Yeah, I think standardized testing is biased towards kids that don't give a shit.

Solution: Give failing grades to kids who give a shit; lower the curve. Either that or build more McDonalds restaurants and strip clubs. After all, failure invented the lap dance; and the phrase, "welcome to McDonalds can I take your order?" Maybe kids should be paid to learn. Not a bad idea, right?

Serious Question: Why do kids drop out of high school?

Meanwhile, back in the projects...

Antoine Dodson saves the day...


...and all is right with the world now that the word is out about him and his band of vigilante homo-thugs "merry men" being on the lookout for mister would be attempted rapist guy, in the streets of Huntsville, Alabama.

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

Video: The Boondocks (Season 3 - Episode 1)

In case you missed it, The Boondocks premiered the first episode of it's third and final season last night. In true fashion, this episode made me laugh my ass off and think all at the same time. Which sorta reminds me of this one blog I know on the internet! Check it out if you can, because this joint is genius:

BREAKING NEWS:Lil Wayne is Sandra Bullock's baby daddy!

I'ono y'all, but I'm feeling like something ain't right with this whole adoption thing, and how it all just came out of nowhere. Shoot, for all we know, why ya' bullshittin, this is prolly why Jesse James stepped out with the next chick! I'm just sayin', how you 'posed to be the man with your skinhead buddies when yo' woman creep with a black dude with a yuckmouth?

I mean c'mon, the kid is New Orleans, right? Didn't have like 4 or 5 chicks pregnant all at the same time? Of course that don't mean nuthin 'cuz Lil Wayne leaves his skeet in all fifty states and Puerto Rico. But I think there's more to it than we really know, son. But anyway, checkout the exclusive interview with Lil Louis and tell me if I'm lyin'. Word is born, son? I think they coached that kid on this whole adoption thing, yo:



Nah, nah, nah son... I ain't buyin' that adoption story. But son, I swear, I put this on e'ry thing! When this lil dude starts smokin' weed, tottin' burners and catchin' charges, yo? Don't say I ain't never told y'all. I'm just sayin', don't belee e'ry thing ya hear in the media! And I know you ain't gon' tell me that baby don't look like him...

Ya'heard?

Oakland Bus Fight Update: Oakland street fight legend, 'Epic Beard Man', Tom Ruso speaks

So by now I'm sure everyone has seen the infamous Oakland bus beatdown caught on tape recently. I ran this story several days ago, and I've probably watched the video at least 50 times. I've watched it over and over because, well, there's something funny about seeing  a 67yr old white guy who looks like "Papa Smurf" catch wreck at the expense of the reputation of of a young brotha on a bus! And doing it so well so as to produce the line of the week, "Bring the Ambalamps." Well, the Heavy Weight Bus Boxing Champion of the World has been identified as Thomas Bruso, and he has a lot to say:

Ghetto PSA: How NOT to have a conversation on race while in the streets - Or how NOT to become the laughing stock of your homies via YouTube getting knocked out by old men

I pride myself as being astute when it comes to the art and skill of communication; be it verbal or written, I'm pretty good. Unfortunately, not everyone can be as skillful as I. One only has to look at some of the exchanges in the comment section of this blog to understand what I mean. So, allow me to demonstrate via the San Francisco AC Transit a much needed ghetto PSA directed at trolls and  the allegedly intelligent alike:


Failure to take heed could result in requesting an "amba'lampse"... while your blood spews everywhere as people laugh at you. Just because we have bigger penis' doesn't mean that you can throw on cornrows, look thug-like, and go around smacking 67yr old white men. For all we know that white man still has flashbacks about Vietnam every-night. It's too bad that Sho'nuff didn't notice the words on the back of the old dudes shirt which read...

By the way, just in case you're a Tea Party aficionado. Let it be known that this is so not the way to go around "taking the country back." Don't let this one brother fool you into thinking that you guys can go Bufford "Walking Tall" Pusser if you feel like it and win. Stick to the internet with that; not in the streets.

Sucks to be you, dude:

There's a gay demon on the loose!!

Holy shit! You mean to tell me that there’s a gay demon running around and nobody told me?!! No seriously, you mean to tell me that all that talk about being born gay was a lie? No for real, you mean to tell me that all this time it’s been Casper the friendly but homosexual ghost?? Shit, how do I protect myself from that thing? Ok y’all, maybe I’m a little late on this or maybe I’m just not up on the bible and religion. I don’t know if you’ve heard the story, but apparently this gay teenager in Connecticut was recently at some church or another and, well, the Black dude from the movie Ghost Busters performed an exorcism on him. Which is kinda cool because I always wondered what the Black Ghost Buster dude has been up to since OZ went off the air – hey, a brotha gotta get paid, right?

Check it out:

How come it took so long for this gay ghost to be outted. I mean, whenever I have conversations about homosexuality with Christians they always say that homosexuality is a choice. Well, what is it? Is it a choice or a demon? Do straight people by choice have sex with gay demons which in turn makes them gay?!?! Ok, so now I’m confused and I’m gonna need one of you reading this to explain this shit to me. But anyway, this 16yr old kid was on the Tryra Banks show recently talking about his experience and just how his life has changed since. Which is real ironic because I heard Patrick Swayze is gonna be on The View next week. But the only problem with that is that he can only talk to Whoopi Goldberg.

Check out the interview:

I’m more confused than ever folks. First off, if you were gay by the actions of a gay demon who somehow took over your body obviously by anally raping you (because it’s a choice). Now that the demon is gone, why do you still have homosexual temptations? Secondly, and probably what should have been the first question since it came to me about 20 seconds into the interview. Um, how come dude still talks with that gay lisp? Am I the only one who spotted that? And last and probably not least pending the responses this post gets, and totally unrelated: how come the gay demon is allowed to live in choir directors at churches? Do gay demons get a pass only if they can carry a tune?

Jokes aside...

do you believe this or is this just how religion affects the human mind?

Are there as many gay demons as there are people in the LGBT community?

Talk to me somebody…

Exclusive video footage of the Henry Louis Gates Jr. police encounter in Cambridge

It's my birthday today, and just when I thought I could take a break from all the madness I observe and encounter daily I get this footage sent to me in my inbox. Oh well, there's no rest for us racism chasers and justice freedom fighters I suppose. That said, do me a favor, click the following link to vote for my blog - The Intersection of Madness and Reality - in the 2009 Black Weblog Awards, in the Best Political/News Blog category.

Ok, now that I got that plug out of the way, let's get on to what you really came here for: checkout the following exclusive clip of Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s recent police encounter in Cambridge a few weeks ago. Yeah, I'm not sure if this is really him in the video. But you know what they say: all Negroes look alike:

THIS RACISM SHIT IS HILARIOUS

Can you believe that money was spent at Stanford, to do research via a poll of about 2700 white people on race? More specifically, on race being a factor in their choice of candidate? Ok fuck it, lemme make it real simple: they asked a bunch of white people how they felt about Obama being president given his melanin affliction. About 40% of them (who were all democrats) said that this was an issue for them. Its enough of an issue that they plan to vote for John McCain. Really? Hmmm, I guess being a democrat automatically makes you sympathetic to black people. Lemme guess, all white democrats are supposed to be magically black now because of Barack Obama? Damn. Who knew?

Some of you think I'm probably crazy for always blogging about racial issues. Ha! Shit, the white folks paid money, did a study, to tell you what most of us have known, or have been saying for only the last 400yrs since Al Gore invented the internet.

Did you notice the timing of the press release? They waited until McCain had a shitty week in the polls against Obama with the news of the current economic crisis. Is it me, or did they just do that to remind folks that Obama is black, and possibly incompetent to lead the free world? Oh well, maybe I'm just trippin as usual.

Oh well...

enough of this race shit...

lets have a good laugh at the expene of...

THEY DON'T DANCE OR LAUGH ANYMORE

Apparently gay activists are pissed because of this Mr. T Snickers commercial. Me? I'm no homophobe and I do believe in gay rights because they are people too. But fuck alladat, this commercial is hilarious! I mean, I could see what they see with the subliminal messages and shit, but its still some funny shit to me. Sometimes I think people just take stuff to serious. But then again, I'm a fan of those old Mel Brooks movies, like "History Of The World", and "Blazing Saddles". They had a black sheriff in that one, out in the racist old west. Did black people get pissed off because of it? Hell no.

Its kinda like that New Yorker cover depicting Barack Obama and his wife a week ago. Some people thougt it was offensive. Me? I thought it was funny. It would be different if they had depicted him and his wife feathered and tarred. Or maybe worse...sitting around eating chicken and watermelon. That would have been cause for concern. But then again, I've heard black people telling "jokes" about Obama and his family painting the White House black, and having the menu changed to have them eat nothing but Soul Food.

Most people fail to recognize satirical humor, and thats sad. It's sad because behind closed doors (or maybe even in public) we say and laugh at shit in or own sick or twisted way. Actually, we all laugh at the same things unknownst to each other. Think of how many times you've probably uttered the words, "I thought it was just me.." after hearing a joke or a comment about somebody or something.

When I saw the "controversial" cover, I got a kick outta seeing Michelle Obama wearing camoflage, packing an AK47, and rocking an afro. I mean, that took the angry black chick to another level, and thats cool. For years sistas have been haunted by images of that fat, black, head scarf wearing, house-cleaning, "I help you raise your white kids" type of woman. You know? That Aunt Jemima type shit. And in case ya didn't know, thats the reason the sistas have been mad for all these years. Aunt Jemima has killed it for them; thats the reason there are so many single black women raising kids. So seeing her, with an afro, totting a weapon was cool and I laughed. Hey, it could've been worse. They could've given her a Jehri Curl, and showed her counting Food Stamps. Or maybe they could've given her nappy hair, like Condoleeza Rice.

Check out the Snickers commercial....


Lemme know what you think.
