Look, I luh' me some social networking sites; yeah... Facebook, Twitter, or even the freaky chicks site Tagged makes me happy. OK, forget Tagged; I'on even mess with that shit anymore. But anyway, the one benefit about social network sites for me, is that I never allow my "real life" and my "innanet life" to intersect.
That's why I laugh when I see "net drama" on these sites. I mean why the f@%k would you be on the internet arguing and fighting with you man's ex-baby muva that he slept with last night when you can do that shit in the streets and get your weave pulled out and become a YouTube innanet star?
Nah yo, I refuse to let "life" interrupt my virtual f@%kery. Speaking of which, checkout what happened to Melanie Beacham who was hassled and harassed by a bill collector on Facebook recently. Melanie has a lawsuit pending against the company, so do check this out and tell me if she has a case:
Because of Social Networking, I don't even talk to people in real life anymore. Being an actual live talking human being is so 2004. When people in real life try to speak to me, because of social networking, I assume they're poor, live under a bridge, and will work for food. No seriously, I really do assume that.
Yeah I know that may sound callous, but it is the reality of the worlds within which we live; yes, there are two Americas: one with access to social networking and one without. And in 2010, this is just pathetic, folks.
Think about it, chances are, the very reason you're reading this site right now is due in large part to a social network site. And that's the beauty of it; because of social networking, like me, you're now able to trust people, even if you've never met them, nor ever will. And to me, that makes the world a better place, no?
Personally, I think it's a crime against humanity that so many people aren't able to access social network sites outside of the occasional office computer block-out. Surely the toothless Appalachian is deprived and are forced to live a horrible and destitute life by not having access to social network sites.
I mean no internet pretty much explains those drunken moonshine nights fueled by meth, and that's a crime. Speaking of crimes, checkout the following story of what happened down in Mississippi recently:
You know, racism shows up in the weirdest of places. A few days ago I told you about the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP and their fight against Hallmark card racism, in the aisle of a local Walmart [read here]. Yep, that racism sure will sneak up on you and surprise even an experienced racism ambulance chaser such as myself. Case in point, checkout what my arch-nemesis "Mr. Racism" did to me this morning as I logged on to my Facebook fan page:
Now if you're ever on Facebook, you probably get pissed off at their "suggestions" that show up on your homepage. Every day they'll "suggest" that I say "hi", or reconnect with someone who you don't even remember from High School. And if that's not bad enough, they "suggest" you become friends with some person that you "might" know, who just happens to be connected to one of your contacts!
Hey Facebook, here's a "suggestion": Dump those stupid YoFarmMafiaVille Apps that people keep sending me invitations to! Yeah, how about you "suggesting to other people," that they stop sending me that stuff!!
I never follow or take heed to any of their suggestions, and I guess they're tired of it. I mean, what else would explain them encouraging me via my Fan page to send a gift of watermelon slices to my friends and readers? But then again, I could be wrong. Maybe they're just tired of all my racism chasing posts and they decided to "learn me," as some of my Midwest and Southern folks would say. Yeah, that sounds plausible.
Surely if I took them up on their "suggestion", the six hundred or so subscribers to my Fan page would think it's a joke. That said, maybe I should put away my racism chasing glasses and follow up on their suggestion. After all, it had to be an attempt at Negro humor by the good folks over at Facebook, right?
Maybe I'll send out actual pairs of watermelon shoes pictured above to my fellow Facebook racism chasers. Yeah, maybe that's better than Facebook's "gift shop" suggestion. Coming from me, surely they'll get the joke.
As if the Secret Service wasn’t currently having a hard time keeping Barack Obama safe and alive; now they have to add one more investigation to the oh, thirty or so death threats Barack Obama gets daily. Oh the sacrifices one has to make here in post racial America. Earlier today someone had the brilliant idea to start a poll on Facebook asking the question: “should Obama be killed?” Not exactly a death threat, but…
I gotta give it that person because hey, at least he/she took it to a vote – way to go keeping the American ideal of Democracy alive; usually presidents get killed in America without any of its citizenry having a voice. Not only that, but I also have to give he/she credit for following through in that democratic tradition by giving us those great poll answer choices. If you took the poll, you had the option of voting “yes”, “no”, “maybe”, or “if he cuts my health care.”
I’m surprised that there wasn’t a “hell yes and I’ll bring the rope,” option.
Now surely some of you are going to say that this is just another one of those racially motivated deals like all the recent protests. But hey, at least the poll creator made it clear that his poll was all about policy (health care reform) and not race. Yep, so I don’t wanna hear anything about the lives of Black people not having any value in this country, mmkay? Yep, you Negroes kill each other every day.
Of course most of you race baiters out there wouldn’t see it like the majority of “us” real Americans. With you people it’s always about race. Well you know what? This isn’t about race; instead it’s what logical thinking people would deem freedom of speech. You damn right; and the U.S. Constipation affords me said right. Besides, even Barack Obama said that all of this isn't about race recently. And of course if he says so, then obviously it isn't, right Negroes?
What?
It’s not like they yelled “fire,” into a crowded theater; they did it on Facebook.
If you think differently then you must be a communist, socialist loving half-white person like Obama trying to destroy America. Yes, what other country on earth can anyone have a vote or a say in the assassination of the head person in charge irrespective of the color of his skin. If you ask me, I don't see the big deal; hell, the way things have been going in the country, it's a wonder someone hasn't produced an “American Idol” type of show to address the problem that is the 44th president of these United States.
“He who warned uh, the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed.” -- Sarah Palin on Paul Revere
