Rush Limbaugh is a Brainwashed Nazi (so says fellow republican)

Hey Michael Steele, listen up. Remember when you did the whole “get on your knees” thing when you sucked Rush’s dick genuflected and performed an act of fellatio on Mr. Limbaugh after he put you on blast a while ago? Remember that? Yeah, you were the talk of the town, and laughing stock of Negroes like me. Well, Money Mike (can I call you that?), it seems like you needed a few more lessons in Blackness. So, in an attempt to school you, I’ve come up with the Blackest republican from whom you should take notes. Uh huh, if you listen to the following audio, its an exchange from one of your own as he called in to Rush Limbaugh’s show yesterday.

Pay attention:

Did you hear that Mike? You see how Charles from Chicago represented? Ok yeah, Charles isn’t Black, or at least sounded like he was. However, did you noticed how he pulled Rush’s card? Yes my friend, that’s how real men do real things. Real niggas like my man Charles stand up to fools like Limpballs and tell the truth. We don’t grovel and get on that yessum massa bullshit. We speak truth to power especially when we’re the ones in charge. Charles sound like a pretty cool old dude who loves his country in spite of his political affiliations. And you know what? I could hangout with people like that, and so too can Barack Obama.

I don’t care what or who you believe, as long as you’re able to tell the truth, you’re fine by me. Did you see how Rush cut him off and blasted him for telling the truth? Noticed how he called him ignorant? That’s what happens when the truth smacks you in the face. Usually when one is hit with truth, he has no recourse but to resort to the childish tactics the likes of 5yr olds on the playground. Charles is right, most of these talking heads in the media that represent the right-wing are brainwashed fools much like the Nazi’s of Germany. And sadly, they are responsible for much of this paranoia circulating in America today.

"Barack Obama is president of the United States today because of stupid, ignorant people who think like you do." – Rush Limbaugh

Well Rush, seems like you’re wrong again. This is what he said to my man Charles. Obviously he wasn’t paying attention or his selective memory kicked in. Charles clearly stated that he voted for McCain. Oh well, maybe the pain pills affects the brain or hearing; the hell if I know. I do know that the reason Barack Obama is president is because, well, people were sick and tired of the last 8yrs of the leadership of the Bush regime. If that makes people like me or the rest of the majority who voted for Obama stupid and ignorant, well, as we say in the hood: “I’ll be that.”

I don't know if you agree with what my man Charles said, but I do know that torture sure as hell isn't the way to go. More importantly, I do agree that much of the negative talk I hear from consevatives on the anti-Obama train do amount to nothing more than soured grapes. The republican party needs new leadership, and maybe Charles is it. I don't know if he is, but, I do know that true leadership requires one to be honest and admit his wrong doing.

What do you think?

Crazy Ass White Boys

So by now you’ve heard of the guy in Pittsburg who shot and killed 3 cops in a standoff last Saturday. I figured since I gave Lovelle Mixon some air time on this blog, I might as well do this same for this kid. Now I’m not gonna front. When I heard the news as it broke on TV last weekend, I clenched my butt cheeks really tight, crossed my fingers, and hoped that it wasn’t another Black guy who wigged out.

From what I heard from one of my Negro friends who stood up for the actions of Mixon, there’s supposed to be a race war coming. I don’t know when, but I didn’t want this latest shooting to involve a brotha, because if it did, that would mean that the war has started and my idiotic friend would have been right. But then I heard them say the name Richard Andrew Poplawski as the shooter and I breathed a sigh of relief. Yup, I made the sign of the cross, and I chalked it up as just another crazy ass White boy.

Question: why is that when a Black man commits a crime that makes the news dramatically we all say he was a thug or thugged out, but when a White dude does some shit like Polawski we always assume that he was crazy? It’s as though the only rationale for any “Blue Collar White Crime” (yeah I know, I kinda laughed at that term too) committed by a White person is insanity. What? White folks are all normal and people like Andrew pictured above are the exception to the rule, thus being crazy? Oh I get it; but niggas are thugs, right? The old classic White is always right until they prove themselves crazy theory. Negroes on the other hand? Well, they’re all products of their environment; yes, and they’re all thugs because they choose to be; uh huh, that’s what’s hot in the streets.

Make no mistake, of course I’m clowning a little bit here, but that Poplawski kid was a fuckin loon. Yup, this White boy was crazy. He doesn't look like it in the pic above, but he was. Yes, anybody White or Black who would flip out on mom’s because she was bitching about the pet dog pissin on the carpet, barricade himself in his home for four hours, killing 3 cops in the process, has to be crazy. I mean, I’ve never flipped out on my mom, but I doubt her being upset about dog piss in the house would make me lose it like that. I read an article in the Pittsburg Post Gazette which confirmed that this kid was 99¢ short of a meal. According to the article, this dude even proudly posted that he was crazy on his Myspace page.

"Crazy to me is going through the motions. Crazy to me is letting each day slip past you. Crazy is being insignificant. Crazy is being obscure, pointless." – Richard Andrew Polawski

See, that’s what he had on his Myspace page, and it clearly shows this guy had issues. The troubling thing in the article, was that per a friend of his who was interviewed, this kid was a conspiracy theorist. I consider myself somewhat of a conspiracy theorist myself, and I do tend to find them quite interesting. However, I’m not paranoid as this guy was to think that there was this secret force that’s destined to take over the country, and eliminate our freedoms.

"Believing most media were covering up important events, Mr. Poplawski turned to a far-right conspiracy Web site run by Alex Jones, a self-described documentarian with roots going back to the extremist militia movement of the early 1990s.

Around the same time, he joined Florida-based Stormfront, which has long been a clearinghouse Web site for far-right groups. He posted photographs of his tattoo, an eagle spread across his chest.

"I was considering gettin' life runes on the outside of my calfs," he wrote. Life runes are a common symbol among white supremacists, notably followers of The National Alliance, a neo-Nazi group linked to an array of violent organizations.

"For some time now there has been a pretty good connection between being sucked into this conspiracy world and propagating violence," said Heidi Beirich, director of research at the Southern Poverty Law Center and an expert on political extremists. She called Mr. Poplawski's act, "a classic example of what happens when you start buying all this conspiracy stuff." – SOURCE

Just think, there are probably millions of young impressionable White guys out there just like this guy. We probably haven’t heard of them because they have yet to shoot up a school, kill a few cops, or burn a cat alive or some other crazy White boy shit. I mean seriously, some of these guys actually go through life looking pretty normal, but they’re screwed up in the head. Now, in all fairness, there are some Negroes with issues as well. Yes, there are a number of crazy niggas among us. Some of us can probably name at least one brother who we know if he flips out, we wouldn’t be surprised. But, not these White people! When a White kid flips out like Andrew, you always hear the phrase, “He was a sweet kid, and we never saw this coming.” Really lady?! You didn’t think him dressing in black continuously, shaving his head and wearing Swastikas was a little odd? I mean, could it be that you weren’t paying attention? Or could it be that because he’s White, he’s not a thug unlike those Black kids, and wouldn’t dare do any wrong. You know, kinda like those two loons sitting in jail here in Memphis for plotting to assassinate President Barack Obama?

In closing, I’ll say that part of the problem is the absence of the rapper Eminem. Yes, he was a role model for White kids who could identify with his dysfunction filled lyrics. Yes, when Eminem was on the air, these kids were relaxed because they felt good to know that there was at least one person who understood them. Since he’s not on the scene as before going to jail every week for punching his on again off again wife, these kids are lost. Now, all they have to fill the void is listening to Conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones. Filled with fear, these kids have nothing else to do but flip the fuck out unlike the days when Eminem was hot. Back then, when he was, at least they took pride in running around the local malls looking like Wiggers, and not killing anybody. Listen, Marshall Mathers, if you’re reading this, White American youth need you; consider this post to be your Bat Signal. Yes Marshall, these White boys need you. More importantly, America needs you, and you're the only crazy misunderstood White boy who can help.

Goonette: How LL Cool J Ruined It For Black Women

Houston, we have a problem. No not you Whitney, I’m talking about us Black people. More specifically, I'm speaking about young urban Black men and women in our culture. Ok, so where do I start. Last week one of my readers sent me a video which was a trailer for an upcoming TV reality show by the rapper known as Plies.

The upcoming show is called Goonette. You see, according to Plies of the now infamous “Buss It Baby” fame, here’s the definition of a Goonette:

• Strong, independent woman.
• A woman who embodies and exudes confidence.
• A woman who is able to overcome trials and tribulations set before her with style and grace.
• Female hustler.
• A survivor.

Ok, so as defined above by Plies, a Goonette is pretty much the embodiment of what a “Strong Black Woman” is all about, right? By definition, these are all positive characteristics, right? Ok, so if this upcoming show is as defined to be an uplift to womanhood, or Black womanhood in particular, why even use the term Goonette? I mean, since when did being a “goon” become a positive image? Oh I get it, being a GOONETTE is a step up from the whole bitches & hoes thing. Also, if you are really trying to promote positive images of women, would this be the lead-off trailer for your show?

Check it out:

Now, if you’re a single mother female stripper, that’s your problem. No, I can’t fault you for being a midget; personally, I think that’s God’s idea of a practical joke. However, being a single mother who has to resort to stripping to survive? Umm, you get no love worthy of enrichment from me, especially if you're proud enough of that to be on TV. I mean, I've heard of women using what they got to get what they want; however, I never thought a woman could or would ever use being a midget to her advantage. But hey, once this show is aired, I suppose my two teenage daughters are supposed to look to this woman as an inspiration.

I know that all Black women can’t all be Michelle Obama. But damn, a single mother who happens to be a midget stripper? A woman who is the embodiment of female empowerment? Really?!! C’mon Plies, this is just another form of Blaxploitation. Hell, the fact that this woman is as short as she is being a midget and all, it could be seen as borderline child abuse. What? I’m just sayin?!! The shit is fucked up, it’s not right, and it's indicative of a larger problem in our society.

Sadly, this woman doesn’t even realize that she’s being exploited because she is vertically challenged. Ok, so I’m trying to be politically correct and not call her a midget, ok? But she clearly has no problem being the bearded lady at the carnival sideshow as she said. Be that as it may, people are going to make money off of her as they are already. So who’s to blame for all of this? Hip Hop, men, women, society, racism, sexism, slavery, who, or what? Some of you may say it’s her or women in general, and some may tend to think it’s all the fault of men. Well, I say it’s a combination of all of the above.

However, if I have to place the blame on any one thing or person specifically, I’d say it’s all the fault of LL Cool J. Yeah that’s right; LL Cool J is to blame. You see, if he never made the song “I Need Love” none of this would be happening. First off, if he hadn't’t made that song, there would be no Plies with all his silly ass songs on the airwaves appealing to immature women, young and old. Let’s face it, if there was no “I Need Love”, there would be no “Buss It Baby”, no “Goonette”, and definitely no Black midget strippers on TV.

You see LL Cool J is the reason for all the misogyny in Hip Hop. Back then, he tapped into an open market that was women. It’s because of him women all feel the need to gain attention from silly Negroes like Plies. Yup, it's because of LL Cool J, that Plies looks like his breath stinks in the pic above. And you know what? Just like LL, females are loving this guy. Now all of a sudden, all these young women wanna be Goonettes. Face it folks, "I Need Love" has totally fucked up our culture. Yup, just wait and see how "The Stanky Leg" plays itself out in the future.

LL Cool J said he needed love and look at what happened, he got a TV show. So who is Plies to be any different. Don’t blame Plies, blame LL Cool J. Yes, because women feel the need for love attention, they are willing to degrade themselves the way they do. Or be as blinded as this woman to not know that’s exactly what she is doing to herself. And you see, there are men who capitalize on that. Yes, and people complain about the usage of bitches and hoes in hip hop lyrics, but they fail to realize that there are women who answer, and hold themselves to these terms stereotypically. All of this goes to show, that just like all women, midgets need love too, but all love ain't real love.

Obama Bows Before the Saudi King and...

See, I told you people he was Muslim. Yup, if he wasn’t why else would he bow when meeting an Arab King?! Uh huh, and this act just means the death of America. Damn right it does. Barack Obama just sent the signal to Iran to bomb America with their many nuclear warheads!

Ok, ok, ok, so I’m channeling my inner right wing neoconservative fears like the people over here on the blog so appropriately titled: Wizbang. According to them, no president is supposed to bow before any other head of state because that would be an act of submission. OMG, you people should read the responses.

They have even found fault by saying:Would Abe Lincoln bow down to a slave-keeping Arab king? Did you notice how they tried to pull the race card with that title? I’m guessing they are sympathetic to the “Bama” part of the name Obama, and images of toiling Negroes in the south came to mind. Yup, thank the Lord for King Abraham Luther Lincoln Jr. dammit!

Yes, and the great Michelle Malkin couldn’t resist the temptation to give it her spin. I swear, if Michelle wasn’t a right-wing nutjob I’d probably stalk her because she's cute. Sadly, cuteness is not immune to stupidity, but I digress. Wait a minute: is Michelle Asian or Hispanic?

These folks from the conservative online rag American Thinker should really consider dropping the word Thinker from their title for putting out crap like they so often do. Yeah, I read their bullshit so I can stay abreast of just what "Thinking Americans" actually think (LOL).

The funny thing about all of this is that George Bush was pictured holding hands with a Saudi monarch at one point in time during his disastrous presidency. Did anyone on the right see this as a defiance of protocol? Sure they didn’t. Surely they didn’t see that act as homosexuality because, well, George Bush is a republican, and republicans are not gay. But yet, Barack Obama bowing before the King is fodder for their ilk. Oh well, I can’t be mad at them. After all, this is what you get when you put Negro trash with no home training in the White House, right? Speaking of which, what ever happened to him being an Uppity Negro elitist? Hopefully they don't have anything negative to say should he meet the pope and choose to kiss his ring.

Woke Up This Mooooorning (got yourself a gun)

“AK-47, the very best there is. When you absolutely, positively, have to kill every single motherfucker in the room; accept no substitute.” – Ordelle Robbie (from the movie Jackie Brown)

The 1st amendment, affords us the right to free speech; however, it doesn’t give us the right to yell fire in a crowded movie theater without repercussion when there is no fire, right?

Similarly, the 2nd amendment gives us the right to bare arms; however, I sincerely doubt whether that amendment grants us the right to purchase a nuclear warhead for our private protection or whatever, without scrutiny, right?

I mean seriously, if it did, I’m pretty sure it would be commonplace to own and be in the possession of surface to air missiles the likes of any military installment, right? I mean hell, everybody would have a tank in their driveway, right? That said, what is the point of owning a semi-automatic assault rifle as a private citizen?

Who or what does one have to become afraid of, to make the decision go out and purchase one of those? Maybe I’m wrong, and maybe I’m a little bit biased since I do not own any firearms, but can you tell me what should be my motivation for the purchase of one?

Well RiPPa there are bad guys out there with those type of guns so you better be prepared to deal with them by getting one of your own!

Listen, the only bad guys I encounter are the cats I see in movies. Sure, that sounds naïve, but just how am I supposed to protect myself from a car-jacking when my AK-47 is in the trunk of my car? Forget that question. Tell me where in the United States of America I’m able to walk down the street with an assault rifle in plain view of the public just so I can protect myself?

Oh, and let’s take into account that I'm a Black man when you think of an answer. Screw that, where are there White men who are able to get away with that one without even being questioned? Please tell me what town they live in.

Well RiPPa, some people are hunters you know!

Wait, are you serious? Well I’m no hunter, but if I have to buy an assault rifle to hunt deer and caribou here in North America, I think I should be more concerned that the Woolly Mammoth is back instead. Plain and simple, if you’re an enthusiast when it comes to hunting wild game in this country as you’re allowed, I can’t see where an assault weapon is the way to go.

What, are the wild animals Bloods & Crips now? No wait, they’re all members of that gang of Mexican drug cartel deer that snuck across the border, right? Damn Mexican deer; I wish they would just build a damn fence high enough that they can’t jump over.

President Obama is considering making changes and bringing back a ban on assault weapons, and I think it’s a great idea. I say that because somehow, someway, these firearms manage to wind up illegally into the hands of criminals on the streets.

I say if people were concerned about their right to bare these type of weapons, they should have encouraged politicians to pass legislation that makes it a lot harder to obtain these guns illegally in our streets. But now that Obama wants to do something about it, they’re all pissed.

Look, we need to get these guns off the streets; period. It seems to me that the only way to successfully do this is to cut it off at the source which is through sales across the country. Of course as with everything regulated there will be a black market. However, at least by banning these weapons, it should make it harder to obtain them especially at higher than the $400 going rate in California right now.

Yes, they are that cheap because they are easy to obtain and are in easy supply per the article I read. But hey, according to the nutjobs on the right-side of the political spectrum, Obama wants to ban all guns and now everybody is paranoid. From what I hear, it is this fear that drove a 22yr old young man to barricade himself in his home where he killed three police officers. Hmm, now I wonder where he got that idea?

This should make for a very well politicized debate in the months to come, and rightfully so. If Mexican drug cartel leaders can buy guns from stores in America as they have to sneak back across and wreak havoc. Who's to say that the same thing is not happening right now on our streets. Like me, you don't have to be a gun owner to have an opinion. I say that because whether you believe it or not, this stuff affects us all.

In closing I'd like to say that there is no direct correlation between gun control, and crime. Should this ban go through, crime is not going to decline. If anything, it should lead to a decline of these weapons being easily obtainable as they are right now for any criminal element. Even still, I don't understand the reason for owning one, and my concern are these guns in the wrong hands. I say that because owning a gun or not owning a gun doesn't make you any safer.

But I'm an upstanding citizen and not a criminal RiPPa!

Oh well, freedom ain't free is what I was always told.

QUESTION:Would you be opposed or in favor of a ban on semi-automatic rifles?

God & Country: Why Talk About Afghanistan When We're Not Taking Care of Our Veterans Barack?

I listened to Barack Obama's press conference today as he spoke about NATO agreements on the move to upscale the focus on Afghanistan & Pakistan. As I listened to him speak, and answer questions in the Q&A that followed. It hit me: I thought the war on terror was over. Oh, I get it. It’s not over, but we’re just going to call it a different name now. Ahhh, the winds of change I tell ya; you gotta love it.

Personally, I happen to think it’s a waste of time, money, and life being at war in Afghanistan. Matter of fact, I think the whole idea of the initial invasion of Afghanistan was rather myopic. Has any outside force ever won fighting any wars in Afghanistan? No they haven’t, and you’d think that this country could have learned from history. I don’t know what you may think about this, but, isn’t it a waste of resources financial and otherwise being engaged in Afghanistan, as much as it was in Iraq?

As I listened to Obama speak, I couldn’t help but to think of a documentary I saw last weekend on LinkTV called “When I Came Home”. The documentary told the stories of U.S. Iraqi & Afghanistan war veterans who have returned home only to feel betrayed by their country. These are men and women who are homeless and some who struggle to get the necessary medical care for PTSD.

The setting for the documentary was New York City, and ironically it featured a number of minorities. These were Black men and women, who as they say, sacrificed their lives, for the protection of our country, democracy, and freedoms. Though NYC was the backdrop, I can’t help but to think that these very episodes are played out across this great nation of ours.

My question is: what good is making that sacrifice (for God & Country), when upon your return home you’re not treated accordingly to your sacrifice? Why should other countries stand behind this country in fighting the Global War on Terror … oops, I meant Overseas Contingency Operations, when they fall short on taking care of their veterans when they return home? It is estimated that there are about 250,000 veterans currently homeless on our streets every night.

You should take the time to view the documentary because it is indeed an eye-opener. Below I’ve included an excerpt (it's only 12 minutes long) of some of the people featured in the documentary. Just these snippets alone should encourage you to speak out against this as it is happening to our “heroes”. If we’re supposed to support our troops, I say we support them all the way, especially when making the transition to civilian life. I don’t know if there really is a God, but it’s a shame that Country isn’t around when these man and women need help.

God Bless America?

Unhappy With Your Riches Because You Piss Poor Morally

So everybody’s favorite K-9 owner Michael Vick will soon be released from prison. Good for him; he’s paid his debt to society. Hopefully he can reclaim a sense of normalcy after spending time behind bars. For many people returning to the world after doing time it’s hard. For some it can so hard that it contributes and factors in to their return to crime, and ultimately another trip in the prison bus. I don't see that happening for Vick though.

The good thing for Vick is that even in being released into a bad economy, he already has a job lined up. Sure working in construction for $10/hr is nothing like playing in the NFL and having checks for millions direct deposited, but hey, it’s a good start for the brother. I don’t know if he has kids, but I sure would hate to have to see him on the news robbing convenience stores with a kid in tow. Besides, do you know how many people unemployed right now would kill to be able to make ten bucks an hour?

Some people, you know the ones who are referred to as haters? They’re relishing his downfall. I mean why wouldn’t they? He’s the quintessential rags to riches story with a sad ending thus far. For some people, they would love to see him continue to toil. Yup, I’m sure right now there is some dog lover laughing at the fact that he will be working for $10/hr in the near future unlike the millions he made in recent years. The funny thing about that, according to his attorney in a bankruptcy court hearing, he’s slated to earn $600,000 for an upcoming documentary.

So while you’re laughing and delectable of his trivial existence right now hater, he’s slated to earn in one check more than most would make in a lifetime. I’m happy for Vick, and I do hope he returns to the NFL, and does even better than before in spite of the naysayers. Should he make a comeback in the NFL, being a 6yr veteran, he’s slated to make no less than a minimum of $620,000 per year. Surely he’ll be quick to say that he has learned from his mistake should he make that type of money. And you know what? I would believe him. You can’t help but to learn when you lose as much as he has financially. Yes, he made a very costly mistake, but life is all about living and learning, right? I mean, this is America, the land of second chances, right?

Live ya life Mike Vick

Black Women Are Not Supposed To Be Affectionate

When the pendulum swings one way, the laws of physics says that it will always equally swing in an opposite direction. Unfortunately, this week, this was not true for Michelle Obama. I’m sure this phenomenon of life and science has been seen the world over this week as it always has. However, for the First Lady of The United States of America, even the media science is bigoted.

Ok, so what you talking about RiPPa?

Well, first off, Michelle Obama touched the Queen of England, and the whole world is going to come to an end. I mean it has to be coming to an end the way the media covered this story of the faux pas of Mrs. Obama. I mean you’d swear that the sister felt up the Queen or something. Which might not be a bad idea because I doubt that old White woman is seeing any action at all over there, but I digress.

So like, what’s the big deal? Oh I forgot, the Queen of England doesn’t touch anybody. Matter of fact, I don’t even think she wipes her own ass! Wow, how’s that for a recession proof job. But yeah, the Queen touches no one which is good to know next time I take a trip across the pond.

Personally, in my infinite paranoia about racism and shit, I can’t help but to think that Michelle Obama’s color did play a hand in the negative backlash. I mean hell, everybody knows Black woman carry the cooties, right? Yeah, Michelle should have known better than to touch the Queen.

Gimme a damn break White media.

The funny thing about all of this is that the pendulum swung in a totally opposite direction one day later. Uh huh, but yet there was very little coverage of her positive message she sent to the students at the all girls school where she spoke. Nope, nothing was said much at all about her positive gesture giving hugs to all of those girls.

Check it out:

However, what did we learn? If you touch the Queen you get bad press, but when you give hugs to a group of now inspired girls, nobody cares. Well, that’s only true if you’re not a woman of color. I mean you just can’t go around being affectionate to old White ladies like that Michelle, damn.

Hell, Black women from America are not supposed to inspire anyone. They’re supposed to be angry, and filled with hate for their country with an occasional terrorist fist bump thrown in every now and then. Now that I think of it that was the problem. Michelle Obama should have given the Queen some “dap” as us folks of color call it. Yeah, giving her some “dap” would have been more true to form. Yup, all Black women are from the hood and work their way through college stripping, doing hair, and digging gold from Kanye West, and Michelle Obama is no exception.

She’s trash, remember?

So What's Wrong with Single Payer Healthcare Coverage?

The most important piece of legislation in America today, with nearly 100 cosponsors in the house, H.R.676 is the only health care bill that will truly reform our tragically broken health care system. What would you think about a health care system that actually works for everybody, costs billions of dollars less, provides greater coverage, truly protects you from financial ruin due to medical bills, improves quality, increases innovation, and returns medical decisions to you and your doctor instead of some claims adjuster at an insurance company 1,000 miles away.

31 cents of every health care dollar spent is wasted on administrative expenses and insurer profits in the US system. This is why the US spends double what other industialized nations spend on health care yet has worse outcomes. We need to save that money and spend it on better health care for you, me, and all Americans. Our system is sick and dying, and this is the cure. And just for the record, this is NOT what President Obama is proposing. Don't let the word UNIVERSAL in his healthcare proposal fool you. This is what America needs. Can you tell me why it won't work?

Fried Chicken: The Next Movement

It's been kinda quiet on the front lines in the struggle lately. I'm guessing this is why a few Negroes out in Oakland saw it fit to use the senseless killing of Lovelle Mixon as the new movement for justice. Yup, that's what's wrong right now with my brothers and sisters on the front lines; we're running low on causes.

I was told by someone over here that we should selebrate Mixon because White people celebrate Billy the Kid and John Dillinger. Umm, can you tell me how you feel about that one? That said, compliments of fellow blogger Siditty (you guys should check her out her blog), I will now present to you, something definitely worth protesting, or even fighting for.

Check it:

Ok, I have to confess. When I first saw this video I laughed just a little bit. Ok yeah, so I thought it was kinda funny. Though the video was funny, it is still yet a worthy cause worth the fight; yes, racism is just that important to fight. The thought of this commercial being ran on TV here in this country made it even funnier. Why? Because I could see Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson leading a boycott of this fried chicken franchise, and some of us being conflicted on doing it. What? Don't act like you don't like fried chicken.

But hey, we all need to get together as a people, and stand firm for our melanin afflicted brothers and sisters over in Korea right now. There aren't too many of them over there, so they sure can use our voices in support. Yup, this week fried chicken, next week we'll work on watermelons. And speaking of support, I'd like you folks to check out this post by Fungke Blak Chik:Mommy, Is He A Good Cop or Bad Cop?. I think you'll find it interesting as it deals with how we educate our kids on perceptions of the police.
