THANK YOU UNCLE SAM

This year has to probably go down as maybe the best year in Black history. There's a black man making an impressive run for the presidency, and from the looks of it, dude's gonna win. The minimum wage went up for the first time in 10yrs. On top of that, now we have the United States government apologizing for slavery, and the abominable, dare I say, inhumane treatment of the ancestors of African Americans who suffered as a result of those Jim Crow laws.

Some of us probably never saw any of this coming. I know I didn't. But, here it is right in our faces. I'm not gonna lie, it feels good. Some of you reading this might think the apology is bullshit. Some of you may think it makes up for nothing. Well, you're right to an extent. As felonious as slavery was, there's really not much that can be done to change its impact on our populace. Some of you are probably of the opinion that reparations, or monetary compensation would be the way to go. But is it really? Can you truly put a price on what slavery has done to us as a people?

Personally, I don't think it could be ever done. But since black people worked free for all those years, I think its only right that every black person should be exempt from any taxes in this country. The only issue with that would be how long should the tax free season be. I don't know, but a minimum of forever years sounds good to me. Not trying to be greedy, but I think since education is so important to ones sucess, all black people should be able to go to state colleges free of charge. To me, something like that, would make a greater impact on the black populace. They gave Native Americans reservations and casinos, while we got the projects, crack, and Ward Connerly. The least they could do is let us be tax free around this camp, and pay for higher education.

Forever, folks have been saying that black people are full of excuses for their circumstances. They often say this without giving any thought to our history. I mean, its not like we've been given a free ride around this bitch, and mu'fuckas just throw away opportunities. If thats what you believe, then I know of a bridge in New York I could sell you for cheap. I seriously think thats the form of reparations, or settlement that should come to us black people. Rather than a historic gov't funded lottery payout, this is what needs to happen. I could think of alot of other shit that we could benefit from as a payout, but I think what I propose to be well enough. Anything more than that and we'll have white people trynna pass themselves off as black and try to take our loot. I dunno about yall, but I ain't down with that. But then again, if they do, and we allow them, we should be able to call them nigger.

Can you think of a better way?

Agree or disagree?

What say you?

STOP EATING CHITLINS

You know its really funny how people say that Barack Obama isn't black enough. What the fuck does that exactly mean? What the fuck is black enough? I mean are we talking complextion, as in not black as Wesley Snipes? I mean really what is it?!! Ok so the dude's mom is white, big fuckin deal. Halle Berry's mom is white, and so is Alicia Keys, but I don't hear too many cats say, "nah I can't fuck with her dawgg she ain't black enough!"

So why is it that when it comes to him being a black man his "blackness" is questioned? Its like people want him or expect him to start talking about all the whippings he got on the plantation, or worse, talk about what it was like for him in the bottom of the ship that brought him to America as a slave. Yeah, thats the stuff black people wanna hear about him. You know, that way we could relate. I mean, who wouldn't want a president who went through the same shit as us.

The fact that his father was African (in my opinion) makes the dude more black than the average "African American". Because of this, he has a direct connection with his heritage, unlike so many "African Americans" in this country. I mean, the man can actually go to Africa and visit his relatives. How many of you black people reading this can say that you can do that? Probably very few of you can. So doesn't that give him a stronger connection to Africa than the average black person in America? Try going to Africa and looking up your long lost counsins...the Johnsons, and I think you'll see its probably gonna be a task in futility. But for Obama, all of that isn't good enough.

You people wanna hear that he has bad credit, got passed over for promotions because he was black, had to live in the projects with his white mom next to the Evans family from "Good Times" in Chicago, and all sorta dumb shit that would give him credibility. Here's some credibitlity for ya....he smokes weed! Ok, so I'm not too sure if he still does. But he did say in his book that he fucked with drugs when he was younger. He even admitted to fuckin with cocaine for a lil bit. But any person "black enough" can look at his lips and see that he smokes blunts. Look at how dark they are?!! You can't tell me y'all ain't thought of that. If he still does, its probably a good thing. It would mean that he'd be on chill mode, and very relaxed all the while having an elevated mind.

"And whats that gotts do with anything?"

He would be a man of peace and not a president who wants to push wars dumbass!

But oh well, he's just aint black enough is what they say. The man even has a fine ass woman...A BLACK WOMAN...for a wife, and he 's still not black enough. I dunno, maybe if his wife were white and ugly he'd be more accepted. You know, kinda like alotta sucessful black men in America. You know, our heroes and role models who play professional sports. Fuck Obama, those are the dudes our kids should look up to. Nevermind that he was a scholar, he can't dunk a basketball or hit homeruns like real black people can. And just in case you still don't think he's black enough...take a look at the pic above. Doesn't he have that look that says, "BITCH PLEASE!" Now show me a black man in America who has never said that, or ever had that thought. Thats what I see when I look at the pic above, and maybe you just have to be black to see it too. If you're black and you do see it, maybe he's actually talking to you instead of Hillary?

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.

DO NIGGERS GO TO HEAVEN?

Finally being told that Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny aren't real has to be devastating to a kid. But what's a kid to do? For years, they've believed in these characters. For years, their behavior has been influenced by the very idea that these characters are real. So finding out otherwise can affect people differently. Even in dissapointment, some of them accept it and live their lives, grow old as if nothing happened. But some of them are defiant.

"How dare you say that Santa is not real?!!"

"Are you fuckin kidding me!?!?!"

"You're a really bad person for saying that!!!!"

These people hold onto the idea that Santa and the Easter Bunny are real. As they grow older they preserve this ideology, and they even pass it on to their kids. And thats why we have kids today who still believe in Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny. Fortunately for us, people like this are not violent or hateful in their defiance of reality. I wish the same were true for racists who spit hate conveniently packaged as "white pride". You see, racist people today are just like the kids I described above. They hold on to the ideology that they're superior, and they were meant to dominate the world. They act this way because they have to protect the lie.

"Huh? What lie RiPPa? Da fuck are you talking about? White people are superior! Muthafucka they created civilization as we know it today! We owe everything to white people! If it wasn't for them, your black ass wouldn't even know how to speak english or use a microwave! Hell, the white man saved your black ass, but you're just too stupid to see it! Either that or ungratefull...ya fat fuck! "

Yup, thats pretty much how most people think, but if only they knew the truth. Unlike some racist black people who spit that "white people lived in caves" bullshit, I'll tell you differently. You see, western civilization as we know it today has been credited to the Greeks. From language, culture, philosophy, medicine and pretty much everything else we know today was because of some greek scholars. Yup, a bunch of famous fat white dudes are who we have to thank for what we know today. If it wasn't for Plato, Socrates, Aristotle and the rest of those dudes I don't know how this world would be. Or so they'd like you to think. You see, most of what those dudes knew, they studied it in a place called Egypt. You probably heard of the place...sand, pyramids, King Tut, Nefertiti, mummies, afro picks, watermelon...yeah that place, Egypt.

Well Egypt my friend just happens to be in Africa, and the indigenous people were in fact black. These people were already advanced in alotta different things. And it so happened that the Greek cats came thru and they soaked up madd game from the Egyptian scholars. Matter of fact, aa few of the African dudes even migrated north to ancient Greece and even helped to build the Roman empire. But you see, history never shows that. You have to do your own research to find the truth. And even then, you probably are gonna be looked at like an idiot. Look people, everything we know or practice today had to start somewhere. And that somewhere is in Kemet (which is Egypt by the way). History as we know it has been plagarised, and re-written to make black people look inferior. Our history as its told has been deeply rooted in slavery and oppression for thousands of years. Thats what they would have you believe. And they do that because the truth would be devastating to many. To reveal the truth, and give credit where credit is due would undo so much which has been systematically designed.

Hell, even in the bible black people (the decendants of Ham) were cursed to be slaves. Yup, even in the bible there is racism. I wonder why a book used by a faith, based on love, would endorse such an ideology? Its because they have to continue to perpetuate the lie. And today we pray to God in hopes to get to heaven so we can live forever. I'm sorry but, aren't the same racists people gonna be in heaven as well? And if thats the case, heaven has to be bullshit. Because heaven is supposed to be a beautiful place where everyone is happy and they'll all get along. Yup, in heaven I'm not gonna be a nigger anymore, and I'll be singing praises next to the same people who lied and plagarized history. Yeah, and I'm supposed to trust that?!! Maybe I should! Fuck it! Santa Clause is real, the easter Bunny is real, the bible is the truth, black people were meant to be slaves, white people invented modern civilization, and I my friend, am a nigger, and I can't wait to get to heaven so I can be happy.

WHITE POWER!!!!

BE CAREFUL, JESUS IS WATCHING...

GEOGRAPHY IS A BITCH

Well, summer is definitely winding down. They've already started showing back to school commercials for the kids this week. I'm kinda sad because it means that I have to take my oldest back up north to her mother's for school. I probably won't see her until maybe the middle of the fall when she's on break. Or maybe even Christmas. Either way, by her living in another state it makes it kinda hard, and in my selfishness, I hate to let her go.

I'm guessing she's ready to go back as well. Not that she didn't have a great time down here. From all appearances, she's been having a blast hanging out with her new "step-sister" who's a year younger than her. The two of them have become quite the pair. The funny thing, is how different or almost opposite they are, and just how well they get along. If only grown women could be like that. But I know she's ready to go back because she foundout that her best friend died in a car wreck last weekend. Unfortunately for her, she was with me here, and unable to go to the funeral. She's been staying in ouch with her friends via MySpace so though she's not at a total loss, I know she's anxious to get back to her friends.

Before she leaves next week, she's gonna have a pleasant surprise. My mother is flying in from New York, and we thought it would be best to surprise her and not announce her arrival. I can't wait to see her face when she sees her grandma walk in the door. Like me, she hasn't seen her grandma (my mom) for a few years. I'm excited because its gonna be her first time here in Memphis, meeting my wife, and subsequently meeting her new grand-daughter who is now almost 9mths old. What can I say, geography is a bitch.

I'm hoping to have a good time with my mom here for a couple of weeks. But I'm afraid of any conflicts we may have. You see, we get along fine, but she's like the super-christian, and I'm not exactly that. Nor am I exactly the lil kid anymore. We often have falling outs when we debate religion and stuff like that on the phone, and I'm not sure if I can even deal with it in person. Shit, she's even made it clear that we'll be going to church when she's here. See how she is? Already coming up in my spot trynna run shit. But its allgood I guess. I'll be able to eat some of her beloved cooking, West Indian style of course. If she thinks shje can just come up in here without any of that GOOD TRINIDADIAN FOOD from up in Brooklyn she's a damn lie!

I'm kinda worried about not being able to get sum from the wife while she's here. Hopefully my wife doesn't pull that shy "we can't fuck cuz your mom's in the next room" bullshit on me. If she does, I'll be really shitty. Oh well, at least I'll eat a Roti or two, and drink some Mauby while she's here. Or even some coconut curry chicken and rice like in the dish in the pic above. I wish I could get that type of "island food" down here in Memphis; thank God she's bringing it with her because geography is a bitch.

WHERE ARE THE BLACK ACTIVISTS?

Last year when that Jena 6 thing jumped off, and people took up the cause to fight for justice, I was against it. Not that I'm against justice. No never that! I just felt that the situation or the incident was blown out of proportion. To this day, I still say that the fight for which those 6 kids were arrested for had nothing to do with race, or a noose being hung from a tree. But that was last year. People protested, marched, the kids went to jail like they were supposed to, but they found time to make appearances at the BET Awards like they were heros. Those 6 kids were the new faces of injustice; the new Rosa Parks if you will.

Now here we are, several months after that Jena stuff blew over and we have a new story. Not much mention has been made of Baron "Scooter" Pikes from Winnfield Lousiana, or the injustice he suffered. Ironically, he's the first cousin of Mychal Bell, the prominant figure in the Jena 6 case. Also, the town he (Pikes) lives in is a hop skip and a jump as they say, from Jena Lousiana. Baron was arrested for an outstanding warrant by the police. No big deal, black men get arrested all the time. But Baron was tasered several times, while handcuffed, over a 30 minute period and died in police custody. The cops in question have not been reprimanded for their actions to this day, despite his death being officially labeled a homicide by the state coroner.

This happened back in January, not that far removed from the Jena 6 hype, and I'm at a loss as to why this story hasn't gotten any attention on a National scale. I don't wanna think that the Jena 6 was an embarrasment, by it being the wrong case for the cause of injustice. I sure hope thats not the reason activists have been silent on this one. If you ask me, this would be the most appropriate case for people to act on. What better a case to use for the fight against injustice than this one. Especially on the heels of the Jena 6 movement, and not to mention the Sean Bell verdict. Remember him? He was shot 50 times by New Yorks finest while out celebrating at his bachelor party. Oh yeah, he died too, and he was unarmed. But then again, stuff like this rarely happens. Cops are nice people, and they're particularly sensitive towards minorities. So much so, that they go out of their way to help them because they respect them as humans.

They did the same thing in Shenadoah Pn. about a week ago. Don't know if you heard about it, but a Mexican immigrant was killed by a group of white kids. Clearly it was a hate crime, as the suspects were screaming racial slurs as they beat the man to death. Witnesses to the crime all reported that it was racially motivated. One of the key witnesses to the crime was on Democacy Now this afternoon, and said that she knew the guys since it was a small town, but the cops have yet to arrest anyone. She said, that instead of trying to apprehend the suspects as they ran away (she pointed in the direction of their flee) they were more focused on handcuffing her husband, and accosting him. Oh yeah, she was white and her husband is Hispanic by the way. Uh huh, they showed up on the scene while dude was getting his ass beaten because he called them. They were there at his side as he was stomped and kicked in the head repeatedly. This was more of a racial incident than the Jena 6 beatdown, but again, I doubt it will ever gain any traction in the media, or as far as activists are concerned.

I teach my daughters to respect the police as all children should be taught. But its really fucked up when in the back of my mind I have to make a decision whether to tell them that the police, the people who are supposed to serve and protect us, cannot be trusted. In a way, I'm kinda happy that I'm not raising a young black man right now. Being a black man raising a son in the wake of whats going on could be a tough one. But then again, cops are known for jumping on buses, grabbing black women, and slamming them to the pavement for giveing them the finger. Shit like that has surely done alot by the way of reducing crime.

But hey...

Whats a black man to do?

EDUCATION, KIDS & JOE JACKSON

See the girl in the pic? Thats my soon to be 15yr old daughter Dijonna (Dee-jon-Nae). Sometimes she gets on my nerves, but thats probably because she is practically my clone. She's been a "project" of mine for years now. She's super intelligent, and as a freshman in high school, she was an all honors student. As a sophomore, she's gonna continue the displaying the high standard to which I hold her to. She lives in Kentucky, and for a long time she has tested way above the states average test scores for kids her age. She's my first born and my pride and joy, but I have a problem.

You see, I want her to do well in school so she can get a scholarship and go to college. Like many black people, I can't afford to pay for her to go to school. So, I can only hope that she continues to do well, and further her education in college. She says she wants to go to college, but she's not really all that excited about it. You see, she has dreams of becoming a singer/actress. And in her opinion, college is not necessary. In a recent conversation, she said that she didn't think it was fair for her to have to bust her ass in honors class, while all her friends just breeze thru in regular classes. Hearing her say that, was very disapointing to me, but I understand that even though she is very mature for her age, she's still 14yrs old. Seriously, I wanted to choke the shit out of her for even thinking like that. But since she wants to be a singer/entertainer, I think I've figured it out.

Thats Miley Cyrus in the pic above. She's the star of Disney's "Hannah Montana", and also the daughter on country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus. If you don't have kids you may not know her. But I dare you to front like you don't know who he is! Don't lie, I know your ass was singing "Achy Breaky Heart" back in the day!! Uh huh, yeah...THAT Billy Ray Cyrus! Well anyway, it seems that all the kids love this show on Disney. As a result, she conducted a sucessful concert tour right across the country. Her tour was such a big hit that her tickets were hard to come by. Well, not just that, but because of the scalpers. Thanks to scalpers with the help of genius software, people were paying big dollars for her tickets. Its been reported that tickets were even going for up to $4500!

So now you're wondering how, and why. Well, using that genius software I mentioned, these guys are able to buy all of the tickets from Ticketmaster online. And then they sell them back to the general public at crazy prices! People have been enraged enough to get state governments to investigate the practice. Matter of fact, Ticketmaster plans to sue (if the haven't already) the creater of the software. So much for "live and let live". But this is about my daughter, and I know you're wondering, where I'm going with this.

Well instead of encouraging her to continue to do well in school, I'm gonna have her drop out. I'm gonna do what Joe Jackson did back in the day. Only difference, my daughter is not gonna be allowed to play with mice. I mean, it can't be hard because its just her as opposed to managing a whole band like the Jackson 5.

So you're wondering, "RiPPa, you're not famous like Billy Ray Cyrus." Of course I'm not! But was Joe Jackson famous? No he was not! But he was a crazy black man that knew how to whoop some ass, and get results! Now, I'm gonna be a little different. I'm not gonna beat my daughter's ass or anything; I don't wanna go to jail. I mean, that would totally ruin my plan. Instead, I'm gonna make her a big star, maybe even bigger than "Hannah Montana". I'm gonna use the internet to do it! I'm gonna use my internet fame and genius marketing skills.

Remember in "Coming To America" what "Mr McDowell" did with resturant? Remember his being a ripofff from McDonalds that he called "McDowells"? He even had the golden M's, remember? Well, I'm gonna do the same thing. I mean, c'mon, what's wrong with a black man stealing from the white man? They stole us from Africa, so I see it as a little payback. I'm gonna make my daughter the black "Hannah Montana".

Instead of Disney, we're gonna do a show on BET and its gonna blow up. Don't tell me that its not! Last time I checked, BET needs programing for kids, and that way people will stop bitching about half naked chicks in videos. So yeah, its gonna blow up, and I'm gonna get paid! Instead of "Hannah Montana" black kids are gonna be screaming "Waneesha Wyoming", and you parents are gonna pay for tickets to her show. My daughter is gonna be happy, I'm gonna be rich, and Joe Jackson will still be wearing a Jeri Curl.

SUMMER, SUMMER, SUMMERTIME!!

Its definitely summertime alright. There's currently a heatwave hitting certain parts of trhe country right now. I live in Memphis Tn, and unfortunately for me, its hot extremely hot here every summer. With a "heatwave" its extra hot around here, sorta like the gateway to hell hot.

I'm not playing either. Its so hot around here that I just drove past a cotton field, and some of the slaves said fuck it, its too hot to work, beat my ass Massa Charlie. I'm serious. You know that Global warming is a bitch these days. Slavery was fucked up as it was, but could you imagine how it would have been when you throw Global warming in there?

I know I went shopping with the family and it was so hot that my fat ass could hardly breath. Fat people have trouble breathing as is, but damn that, it wasn't my fat rolls fuckin with me, it was the humidity. Yesterday it got up to 112° or 120° with the heat index. We would go into stores, and it would still be hot. And that was with the air conditioning running at full blast. I'm telling you, it was miserable yesterday, and its no better today.

I couldn't help but to think of all the old people who were stuck in their homes without air conditioning. Almost every summer you hear of stories of old people who die from heat strokes because they lack air conditioning, or because they couldn't afford to pay their bill. While some of us take the opportunity to run around half naked, using the heat as an excuse, there are folks dying from it. After reading this, some of you should meake a concious effort, to go check on an elderly person. Be sure to go check on them, and make sure they're not dying from the heat. Get them out of those sweltering homes.

Shit, take them out half naked like you, if you have to. Nevermind their wrinkles, or saggy boobs. They'll love you for it, or even remember to include you in their will. Hell, the old men would be happy enough to be able to see all these half naked young chicks running around in the streets. They'd probably have erections, and thats a great thing. Back in their day, there was no Global warming, half naked women in the streets, and definitely no Viagra. As a man, I don't mind the half naked women running around. Its the dudes wife beaters I can't stand. You know, the dudes with manboobs sporting those extra medium wife beaters? If only I was as brave as those cats. Me and my manboobs would be alot cooler, and alot happier.

BEING A NIGGER AIN'T BAD (its the crabs ya gotta worry about)

You know what? You niggers kill me! Yeah I said nigger. What? I use the word all the time. Surprised? Well I hope you're not. Maybe by the end of this blog you won't feel so bad about it. You see, allegedly Jesse Jackson used the word in reference to Barack Obama. And all I hear or see around here are opinions typical of niggers in this country.

"Fuck Jesse Jackson he's a hater, that fool is just jealous!!"

Yup, that seems to be the popular opinion these days. Some of you call him a hypocrite, but hey, this is America, who the fuck isn't. Lemme guess, did you think Jesse has never used that word. Hopefully you didn't think he's never heard it used before. You see, the word nigger is as American as baseball and apple pie. Its a part of our culture, and the American experience. For me to not use the word would mean that slavery never existed, and life is great for all people of color. Most people are offended by the word, but the thought of life being "great" for niggers is whats offensive to me. The word nigger is responsible for the necessary sucess of men like Jesse Jackson. If it wasn't for the creators of the word (i.e. racist white people) back in the day, there would be no need for the civil rights movement, or people like Jesse Jackson. But here we are in 2008 and people seek to distance themselves from the word.

All of a sudden "Fight The Power" has been replaced by "Yes We Can". I have to shake my head when I look at some of you niggers with that bullshit. Listen here nigger, if you truly think that you're above the use of that word you're a fool. If you're black in America, thats what you are. Don't get mad at me, its the fuckin rule of the land. Unfortunately the term African-American didn't erase our history. So I really don't care what you call yourself these days because we'll always have to come up with a new label for ourselves in this country. I mean think about it. We're probably the only race of people in America who had to officially change our name to please ourselves. But are we really trying to please ourselves? How much better were we when we stopped being colored and became negros? How much better were we when we went from negros to black people? How much better did we become when we went from Black people to African Americans? No matter how many times we changed our representative name, our perception has not been changed by the majority. Sure those African Americans have come a long way, but the minute they voice their opinions they're perceived as being a bunch of angry, ungrateful, dare I say...NIGGERS.

And us niggers in our ignorance, we do the same thing. Look at the way some of you talk shit about Jesse Jackson. But yet we criticize other niggers and are quick to label them as being "crabs in a bucket". If thats not the most tired cliche to describe niggers I don't know what is. The niggers who are quick to refer to this behavior are often the ones who are so ignorant to see the error in their ways. They never have a problem, yet they're stuck in the bucket like the rest of us niggers. Let them tell it, niggers who complain are stuck in the past; this is 2008, and that black power shit isn't necessary. We're our own worst enemy is what niggers like that often say. They sure do. They're quick at identifying problems, but rarely do they offer solutions. If that doesn't sound like a crab move then I don't know what is.

"But you ain't doin anything different RiPPa."

I know I'm not. I never said I wasn't a nigger. As a matter of fact, I embrace my niggerdom. I even do it so much that I DO show you niggers the error in your niggerish ways. I even go as far as to uplift you niggers from time to time. And in doing so, I never spare a moment to point the finger where it's deserved to be pointed. There is a certain level of objectivity in my niggerdom. Gimme a fuckin break, I am a nigger, and I'll always be a nigger in America until they kick me out this bitch. And that is the reason the word doesn't offend me.

"Everybody wanna be a nigger but don't nobody wanna be a nigger."- Paul Mooney

As people, I think we give certain words too much power. People get offended by the word nigger, but I rarely see them get upset or offended if refered to as an asshole. But then, there's a double standard with certain words. Thats bullshit too, and it shows just how fucked up us niggers are. There used to be a time when the word bitch would piss a bitch off. But nowadays I see and hear women refering to themselves as such as a term of endearment, or a term of empowerment. How can you be offended by a word that is a term of endearment? Beyond that, how can you be offended if someone other than bitches and niggers use the word? Can one of you niggers explain that shit?

"I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually." - James Baldwin

I think I'll stop using the word nigger from here on out. As fucked up as niggers are, I think I'll start refering to them as crabs. I mean, thats what we all are. We're all a bunch of fuckin crabs aren't we? We lay at the bottom of the ocean eating fish turds. Yup, we eat whats left over from the fishes (white people). Oh we're not? Then why are we the number one consumers by race in this country? How come niggers only account for 5% as far as business ownership in this country? Yeah, we're crabs snatched up from the worlds ocean, and we now reside in the bucket thats America. Thats who we really are. Sadly, some of us crabs have forgotten the ocean in an attempt to fit in with the big fishes of this country. Now that I think about it, thats probably the reason crab niggers claw on top of one another trying to get out. But we're so stupid, we don't realize that once we make it out of the bucket we get our asse's ate up at Red Lobster.

I'm done fuckin wit yall niggers...

I'm going back to listening to the new Nas CD...

Peace out...

Crabs

MEN IN SKIRTS

You people might look at the guys in the picture and laugh. Well, when I first saw this pic I laughed too. But after a while I saw something that wasn't funny. Actually, I saw something that could be beneficial to the black community. You look at that pic and see two black guys wearing skirts. I look at the pic and I see the cure for AIDS/HIV as it affects black women in the black community. According to the "numbers", the black community (in America) is in dire straits when it comes to HIV infection and AIDS cases. Supposedly, more black people die from AIDS than any other ethnic group in America. This also means that more black women die from AIDS than any other ethnic group as well.

Recently, the rise in AIDS cases among black women has been blamed on black men who are "on the down low". I'm sure by now you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard some stories about it. Its become somewhat of an epidemic to the point where women have to be careful of the black men they date. They are more cautious about black men who are secretly sleeping with other men, more than any other time in history. And all it took for this to happen, was for one black man writting a book about his exploits and going on Oprah to talk about it a few years ago. Before that happened, this was never something women even took issue with. Women were secure with the black man, and the only thing he was ever suspect of, was having a criminal record and having more than one "baby momma". But nowadays, black women have to worry about whether Jamaal who's been locked up before ever took it up the ass, and liked it.

If you believe the numbers, you'd have to agree that the problem is getting worse. And that my friend is the reason why I say the pic above is actually a cure for the problem. Now, allow me to explain. Assuming that from looking at those dudes that they're gay, its easy to conclude that if you're a woman, you would not have sex with them. I mean, its common knowledge that HIV/AIDS is easily transmitted by gay men and drug addicts who use needles. So knowing that, its safe to assume that a heterosexual woman would think twice about having sex with a guy wearing a skirt. See where I'm going with this now? Yup, we need to get the gov't to pass a law requiring all men who engage in homosexual activity to wear skirts. Uh huh, if that would happen there would be a decline in HIV/AIDS infections among black women. I know, genius right?!! Thats what needs to happen to save our women.

Why should black women have to assume any responsibility for contracting HIV? The blame should all fall on the man, right? Lets be honest, black women aren't mature enough, or responsible enough to have protected sex, and the blame and responsibility should rest on the shoulder of the black man. Lets be real here, black men just aren't honest, and the only way to protect black women is to make black men wear skirts and dresses! That way, if a woman chooses to knowingly have sex with a guy wearing a skirt and contract HIV there'll be no excuses. She knew right? Conversely, a guy who gives a woman HIV, and fails to wear a skirt, all the while hiding the fact that he has or had sex with men, should be locked away in jail. I mean its only right, its only fair. Nevermind wearing condoms, or women not giving up the pussy to black men who refuse to wear a condoms. Damn right, forget about that shit! Its more important to know the other person's sexual preferences than protect yourself aint it? To sum it up, its about excuses and not reasons. Black people rather have an excuse for dying, than a reason to live. If the numbers are right, thats what I think.

What do you think?
