LETS VOTE FOR MICKEY MOUSE

Putting racial bias aside, with Obama being a black man as myself, a man who I consider a thinking man, you gotta love the critics. You see, I think there is a fear within the populace of a black man becoming president. More so than him being just black, I think the fear is hearkened because of his intelligence, his profession and his educational level. The way I see it, they're afraid of an intelligent black man having that much power. Its like Obama's sucess would be an insult to all bumb nigger jokes.

This would explain the blind support given to the McCain-Palin ticket. Clearly, as evidenced by McCain camp, there's a lack of vision for the future of this country. There's level of ambiguity as to what exactly John McCain is going to do for America. And the irony of this, is that he uses the phrase "Country First" as his battle cry. I guess if you're a mindless fool, or covered in wool, you'll be easily sold by this. If you're gonna make "Country First" your slogan, isn't it a good idea to judge the strength of your country by the number of people struggling to stay afloat? Or maybe even the number of people currently living below the poverty level? To me, that's a better measuring stick rather than the number of wealthy people this country has produced. This is why I'm sold on the change Obama proposes. To me, putting your "Country First" has to mean a change, or a shift in paradigm. A shift much needed from the way things currently are in the good ole U S of A. I'm sorry, but Pork Barrel Spending has nothing to do with the current 6% unemployment rate, or with milk being $4 per gallon.

I'm a family man, and I love my family as do most of you reading this; my family is important to me. My family is so important that I put them first. Whatever decisions I make, has an impact on them as much as it does me directly or indirectly. This is what I want to see from my president, or the guy I'm supposed to trust to have my best interest at heart; my best interest being my family. To me, Country First is as synonymous as Family First. And I'm not gonna lie, I feel good when I get hugs from my family, and Barack Obama gives me that type of comfort right now in comparison to the efforts of John McCain with his campaign. Most American families are having a hard time trying to stay above water; me and mine included. And I'm sorry, but I don't see, hear or feel any hope for the future of my family from John McCain.

Some of you may say that I'm just biased because Obama is black. That's not so, because up until now, me and my family (i.e. Black people) have been supporting and voting for white candidates since we were afforded the right to vote. Being able to vote, though insignificant to some, gives you the claim to being a part of the democratic process. Voting is as American as apple pie, and many people have died to ensure this right. You may not like whats happening in this great nation of ours, but through the democratic process, one has the ability to affect change. You may not like your options as far as candidates are concerned, but is NOT voting, or a protest vote an intelligent option?

I mean, if your house was on fire would you refuse to call the fire dept. because they're known to perpetuate racist policies of not hiring blacks? Probably not. After someone breaks into your home and steals your shit while you were gone, do you decide to NOT call the police because of an N.W.A. song or what they (the police) did to Rodney King or Sean Bell? That's exactly how stupid a protest vote, or not voting at all is in my opinion. It just shows an inability to think critically in an attempt to affect change. or even realizing that you too posses the power to affect change. Its kinda like a fat chick complaining of her thighs rubbing together, and having to wear shitty clothes because finding anything in her size is hard, but not doing anything positive to change her circumstances. Sure sitting on your ass and eating a gallon of your favorite ice cream everyday sounds better than actually getting out exercising, and sweating off a few pounds. But is that really what you wanna do? Do you really wanna live like that and have to call those racist fire fighters to come get your fat ass out of bed when you're too fat even roll over?

QUESTION: How do YOU feel about people not voting, or choosing to vote for "Mickey Mouse" in protest? Its been said that dissent is the highest form of protest, but do you think that choosing not to vote is protest enough, or even the right form of protest?

If you're gonna use your vote as a form of protest,

at least vote for this guy,

he's a little bit like John McCain, age wise,

but alot more funnier...

JOHN McCAIN HAS A TIME MACHINE

Either its science through the invention of a time machine, or Sarah Palin's voodoo priest witch hunting now turned christian minister, but some how John McCain has won the debate. Yeah, thats what they're putting out there, and the debate hasn't even taken place. Uh huh, the same debate he was trying to postpone a couple days ago. Can you believe this shit?!! The man can't operate a computer, but he invented the Blackberry? And now he's already won he debate??

McCain Wins Debate

By Chris Cillizza

Although the fate of tonight's presidential debate in Mississippi remains very much up in the air, John McCain has apparently already won it -- if you believe an Internet ad an astute reader spotted next to this piece in the online edition of the Wall Street Journal this morning.

"McCain Wins Debate!" declares the ad which features a headshot of a smiling McCain with an American flag background. Another ad spotted by our eagle-eyed observer featured a quote from McCain campaign manager Rick Davis declaring: "McCain won the debate-- hands down."

SOURCE

I don't know about you guys, but I think if this man has the ability to see into the future, he should have been able to get the winning lottery numbers like I would have done. He can surely stand to use the money for his campaign, to put out more bullshit ads full of lies. But then again, maybe he has looked into the future and saw that he lost the election. Maybe he thinks he can alter history like in a "Back To The Future" sorta way. I know he has like 9 houses. That being said, it shouldn't be too hard to find a DeLaurean in the garage of one of them.

Maybe we should start calling him John McFly.

NOW INSTEAD OF LOOKIN FLY AND ROLLIN PHAT

When you really think about it, as much you probably hate to admit it, the gov't has to bail out banks at the expense of American taxpayers. When it all comes down to it, this economy is ran on invisible money, known as credit.

This video at the end of this post was sent to me about a year ago by my brother Dusty over at Politics BS & The Tinfoil Tirades; I suggest you folks stopping bye his spot and showing him some love.The video delves deeply into our addiction to the drug of money. Believe it or not, we're all addicted, and our psyche is greatly impacted by this incessant desire to keep up with the Jones'. Trust me when I tell you....its the American way.

Our credit has become so much a way of life, that you can use the excuse of working in a resturant, dressed like a pirate, serving clam chowder and iced tea, to not going to freecreditreport.com. Which is pretty convenient, and excludes you from going into detail about stuff like...flunking out of high school. I never thought of it that way. But I guess that would, or should be the excuse adopted by everybody who is perceived as a failure in life. Yeah, I think I'll start using that one from here on out. Next time anyone asks me for advice on pretty much anything, I'm gonna tell them they should have went to freecreditreport.com. You too (fŭng'kē) [blak] [chik] , remember that next time you call me and we talk about life, love, and all the other good stuff we talk about from time to time.

"Damn RiPPa, my girl just told me she was pregnant and I don't know if the baby is really mine..."

Well...

shoulda went to free credit report dot com dawgg thats your fault.

Sucks to be you!

I think I'll start with the next person who rolls up alongside me in traffic driving a raggedy ass car. That should be fun after I make them roll their window down, and turn down that loud ass music so they can hear what I have to say. Hopefully they won't get pissed and they'd acknowledge my humanitarian effort.

Hope you enjoy the video.

LETS BLAME THE NEGRO

For some reason, everytime I hear the names Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac on the news I think of a black prostitute, and pimp team working the streets. I don't know, but for some reason I think thats them pictured above. Sounds crazy I know, but hey, my mind works like that from time to time. I know their outfits are kinda crazy, but when you're trying to attract minority (i.e. black) business, you have to look the part.

The funny thing about all of this, is that they're now under investigation by the FBI. Which is pretty typical of black people who are sucessful and earn money outside of the realm the expectations of America. But suddenly, the gov't wants to give them some love, and even subsidize...oops, I meant bail out these investment banks in the wake of the mortgage meltdown.
At the expense of taxpayers the gov't has all but hand these institutions blank checks. And who's to blame for all of this? Black people. Thats right, minorities are the ones to blame for this problem. If only these people held up their end of the bargain, and paid their mortgage, none of this would be happening. Thats why you can't give black people shit is always the sentiment.

Thank God we have FOX NEWS CHANNEL to set the record straight via Neil Cavuto. While everybody has been running around paranoid of the impending doom. My good buddy Neil, has set the record straight, and spoke truth to power. Recently, on his show, in a heated exchange with one of his guests, who happened to be a Congressman, he asserted that Congress should have warned Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac about giving those home loans to black people. In his own words, he said it was the fault of Congress for pushing the idea of minority home ownership. If only there was more truth coming from the mainstream media, the American people may not be so critical of their government. Thank you Fox News Channel. The people who say you guys are racist are so wrong about you.

So what owning a home is paramount to the American dream. That shit was not meant for Black people. Thats right, us negroes were meant to be renters, or live in the projects. I mean hell, why else would they expect us to want to be home owners? The American Indians have been reduced to living on reservations, and probably still living in tents. Why would they expect us to be forward thinking, or feel like we're a part of a country which was so gracious to invite us here to do jobs for free.

Look, Neil is right, Black people need to stop it with the victim stuff. Instead, they need to stop putting their utilities, and credit cards in the names of their 7yr old kids. Its time for Black America to take some responsibility for what has happened in this country, with the state of the economy as it is today. Predatory lending my ass. Those banks were trying to do negroes a favor, and like usual, they betrayed the trust of the hands that fed them.

Thanks Neil...

You're a true American Hero.





GIVE THAT MAN A KLONDIKE BAR

PLEASE DON'T LET WARREN SAPP BE GAY?

Ok look, no more retired football players on "Dancing With The Stars". OK? Look, I don't watch the show, but I watch football. After I got thru watching the New York Jets on Monday night football, and watching Brett Favre lose; yeah I'm not happy right now. And after watching the Packers lose the night before to the Cowboys, I turn on to the NFL Network to play catchup on this past weeks games, and interviews. And what comes on my TV screen? Warren Sapp dancing. No, not that quarterback sack dance for which he was famous for doing when he played. The dude was doing the cha cha. And no, not the ghetto hokie pokey, cha cha slide, that negroes won't let die either. The man was dressed in a suit and dancing...ballroom style. He's a pretty big guy, and I'm sure he's light on his feet, as some of us are. But I think he set us big dudes who wish they played in the NFL back a few years. You can expect newly retired NFL players to be doing commentary on a game, but not ballroom dancing?!!

Shit, I remember when Herschel Walker (who played for the Cowboys at the time) did ballet in the off season. And I could remember dudes thinking it was gay. Actually, I still think there are rumors about Herschel being gay after that deal. But he did study ballet in college. Not that ballet is gay. Nope, you'll never hear me say that. But seeing your once favorite NFL player dance around on TV is kinda gay in my book. Its almost as messed up as seeing your favorite pornstar retire, and start preaching on TV on Sunday morning. But hey, I guess this is just white people's way of getting back at us for laughing at them for having no rythm.

I wanna remember Warren Sapp for being the terror he was to opposing quarterbacks on the field. And now all of that is lost. Now he's the fat gay looking cha cha man. Seriously, I hope he gets voted off real soon, and not go the distance like Emmit Smith did a couple years ago on the show. That shit wasn't hot in the streets. Maybe it was for soccer moms, and white people watching across the country. But please believe, the brothas wasn't feelin it in the streets, or in the locker room. When Jerry Rice did it ( I think he was the first) it was cool I guess. I mean, no homo radars went off or anything. But here we are 3 weeks into the NFL football season, and we have Warren Sapp.

*sigh*

Nothing against gay men, but I don't wanna think that "Dancing With The Stars" has become the coming out of the closet move for former NFL players. Whats next, John Amaechi, or Dennis Rodman wearing a wedding dress dancing together, doing the mambo? I'm sorry, but that stuff might be cool for any athlete other than a football player, but after seeing Warren dance, this shit has to stop. Retired rapper Master P did it a couple seasons ago, and I was shocked that he did. But I guess he'll do anything to try and stay in the limelight. Hell we figured that shit out real quick when he went from rapping to Nickelodeon. Maybe next season they'll have a gay rapper. Suddenly LL Cool J comes to mind. I mean hell, he ain't doin shit else otherwise, and I doubt the ladies are cheking for him like they used to. Besides, LL Cool J doesn't have a sack record, or a Superbowl ring like my man Warren, and his gay lick lipping should be perfect for the show.

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...

SPERM DONORS, SPERM BANKS & CHILD SUPPORT

After my parents divorced way back in 19..whenever, my dad never paid child support. My mom never took him to court, nor did she ever push the issue. A part of me was pissed for a long time that she didn't because I felt like we went without when it didn't have to be that way. I believe my mother's pride was behind her not asking for anything from him. Without going into details, I'm sure you can get the picture. She put up with Lotta bullshit, he had different women, they got divorced. Now, my mom did struggle to hold it together, and it was only as an adult looking back that I'm able to see that. I used to think that she was selfish for not taking him to court for anything; I felt like she was only thinking about herself instead of my brothers and I. But you know what? We all turned out pretty good. I believe just by her doing that, it taught us the lesson of not relying on anybody for anything. My dad rarely volunteered to assist financially if he ever did at all. That also pissed me off for a long time through my teen years. I felt like he was a selfish muthafucka who really didn't care. I carried this image of him in my head for years. It wasn't until recently that I actually got over it.

Now that scenario I explained comes from me, the kid of two divorced parents. But the shit is a little bit different from the norm. I say that because 70% of childern are born out of wedlock. And often, the custodial parent is the female. I'm all about a man being a man and taking care of his kids. And when I say that, I'm not just speaking just from a financial stanpoint. I believe that being a father requires alot more than just signing a check. However, I have a problem with the court saying, "hey dude, if you don't pay your child support we'll throw your ass in jail!" Ultimately I don't think that the court cares about my kid at all. Truthfully, I think them enforcing child support orders are their way of protecting themselves or getting some payback (if you will) for the kids that benefit from the welfare system. Its as though its their own insurance policy. I mean when you break it down, who benefits? The system does! Not the mother, not the kids! But the system does. They do because it means that if all men paid their child support, their would be no need for welfare. When a man gets thrown in jail for non payment, who benefits? Damn sure aint the mother, damn sure aint the kid! So who benefits? The system does! The state (who issues welfare) gets paid per locked up muthafucka! So you see, that's why its a win win situation for them, and definitely not for the parties involved, be it the mother, father or kid(s).

And lets be honest, the majority of the people who go to jail for child support are poor. When I say poor I'm also referring to being poorly educated. With 70% of kids being born out of wedlock I'm pretty sure that the majority of those parents are not educated past high school. So its as though poor people are punished for having kids. Yeah poor people are not supposed to have kids because it just leads to more poor people in this country. That's how I see it and I think its bullshit. But what can we do, huh? Maybe if men had verbal disclaimers this wouldn't be a problem. I mean if more men said, "hey listen umm, I know we about to fuck and all but I want you to know that if you get pregnant I'm not gonna take care of the kid...I got more bitches to holla at." Upon hearing this hopefully the woman wouldn't have sex with the guy. And as a result, there wouldn't be unwanted pregancies, kids given up for adoption, abortions, women being mad at the father of their kid(s), women thinking that niggas aint shit and men going to jail because they failed the population control test!

I get disgusted when I hear women refer to the father of their kids as "sperm donors". I've even heard a few women refer to them this way in the company of their kids. The women who say that need to think before saying those words, because it sure says alot about her character more so than the man she CHOSE to have sex with. If he's a sperm donor, doesn't that make you a sprem bank? How about explaining to your kid that daddy's not around because mommy was a sperm bank. When I hear a woman say that its as though she's saying, "boy was I an idiot!" I think child support should be for couples who dissolve their marriages rather than unwed individuals.

What do you think ?

INCOME TAX: TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY

I was over at my boy friends blog the other day talking, and going back and forth about the idea of taxes in this country. Its been a pretty hot topic for me, as I was also engaged in a similar discussion concerning Barack Obama's tax proposal with another aquaintance. Now, for the record, I wanna say that I agree with Obama's proposal as compared to John McCain's. I say that because under Obama's proposal, more of the working class stand to benefit, more than they have currently with the Bush tax cuts in place. In case you didn't know, the tax burden has always fallen heavily on the middle class or the working poor as they should be known. Real wages have struggled to keep up with inflation, and as a result, the disposable income of the middle class has shrunk considerably.

But that's not what this blog is about. Feel free if you like to share your take on both tax proposals, or more specifically which is more effective, or even more equitable. What this blog has to with is the income tax. Yes, the tax that each of us, through deductions from our paychecks, give so graciously to our government. Joe Biden recently said that paying taxes is patriotic, but is it really? Sure our taxes go towards many necessary programs, as they do the stupid things like...WAR! But is it constitutional to pay an income tax? In other words, is there a law which requires that we pay an income tax?

This has been an ongoing debate for years now, and to be honest, I'm on the side of the people who say that its not. I think most of us think that we're required by law to pay an income tax because, well, that's just what you're supposed to do. But did you know that there isn't a law written in the constitution or otherwise which requires us to pay an income tax? Yeah, I know it sounds crazy because people go to prison for TAX EVASION all the time. But do you really know the definition of tax evasion?

"tax evasion is the general term for efforts by individuals, firms, trusts and other entities to evade taxes by illegal means. Tax evasion usually entails taxpayers deliberately misrepresenting or concealing the true state of their affairs to the tax authorities to reduce their tax liability, and includes, in particular, dishonest tax reporting (such as declaring less income, profits or gains than actually earned; or overstating deductions."

Did you get that? Tax evasion is the illegal misrepresentation or dishonest reporting of one's affairs. In other words, you can't fill out a W-4 and lie to the gov't. You can if you want, but its illegal. That's what people (mostly rich people or business owners) go to prison for. They had a choice to pay taxes, but they reported erroneous information. I can bet you that none of you reading this can provide me, or point me in the direction of the law which states that we have to pay an income tax, or have money witheld from our earnings to give to our government. I think that the ignorance of the masses have once again been taken advantage of.

Check this out...

IF YOU DON'T WATCH THIS YOU'RE MISSING OUT

So while we argue or debate about who's tax proposal is best, we for the most part are ignorant to the law. And in our ignorance, we get suckered by our government like always. Don't get me wrong, its not your fault. I was as ignorant as you were for years, but not anymore. You see, paying your "income tax" is a choice as much as anything else. Its a choice which one suffers no consequence. You can choose to "do your part" by paying taxes, as equally as you can choose not to pay it. Yes, its hard to overcome death and taxes, as its bee said. Shit, we can hardly go a day without paying a tax on a purchase. You can't even get buried without paying a tax on your funeral. But with a little bit of knowledge through research, you can avoid paying an "income tax" if you so desire.

You can choose to agree with what I say, or disagree; hey its your choice; this is America, you're free to be ignorant. But just remember, there are no free lunches. And even in ignorance, one stands to pay a price. Now watch this video below (its alot shorter than the one above) to gain some understanding of what I mean. When you get done, do yourself a favor, pass it on to your friends and family. They may think you're a loon, but then again, they may one day thank you for it.

I'M GLAD I WAS BORN WHEN I WAS

Sometimes I think that I'm pretty fortunate to have been born when I was. I was born in 1970 and I used to wonder what it'd be like to have been born and grow up in an earlier time. But then I remember that if that had happened, as I am a dark-skinned person, I would most likely have been either a slave or routinely treated as a second-class citizen. After all, the origins of the enslavement of black people go way beyond mid-eighteenth century America. So yeah, when I look at it that way, I'm glad that I wasn't. Besides... "Toby" is just a fucked up name for anyone, slave or not.

White people of Earth, listen to me. Being brown (or in your case, orange) is not all it's cracked up to be. A lot of the time, it can be a real hassle. Well, unless you're not in a hurry to get somewhere when the cops pull you over. Stop now before you kill yourself AND your credit score. Don't let your white guilt be the catalyst or your motivation to get tanned as you do. Just be nice to us colored folks, give us jobs or maybe even stock tips. Don't worry, we'll still be cool, and we'll still sell you drugs. Besides, getting tasered by the police isn't as cool in real life as it looks on TV.

WEAPONS OF ASS DESTRUCTION

So George Bush lied again. Surprised? Nope! Thats just what the fucker has been doing for years. Remember those weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Yeah, the ones that were never there? Turns out, they didn't mysteriously appear in Iran! For the last two years or so, Bush has been trying to convince the world that Iran has the capability to build a nuclear bomb. You know, the same Iran who backs those guys who throw rocks at tanks? Yeah, the same Iran who's sophistication is responsible for IED's (improvised explosive devices) in Iraq; yeah those guys. U.S. intelligence even released a report that informed the public that contrary to what Bush has been saying, Iran does NOT posses any nuclear technology, nor are they building a bomb. It turns out, that Bush knew about this since 2003! But instead, to gain support for the war in Iraq, or to justify his actions in Iraq, he had the public believe that Iran was working on something "evil". And now we have John "Grandpa Moses" McCain and Sarah "I'm on a mission from God" Palin, shoring up support by painting the picture of Iran being a threat.

What if Bush's popularity was up and he gained support to make a move on Iran? I mean, really, what if?!! Thats exactly what he did with Iraq! Its really sad that some people are too stubborn to admit that they were foolish in supporting this man and his war on terror. Look people, one lie always leads to more lies. Usually when you tell a lie, you have to tell more lies to cover up your story. If you don't believe me, think Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski, or anybody you've seen busted on "Cheaters". I mean, lets be honest, we've all lied in our lives. Fortunately for most of us, our lies have not led to death and destruction combined with a 700 billion dollar tab at the local bar or strip club.

I don't know about you people, but don't you see a pattern since George Bush has been elected? Hell, the election itself was a lie, Al Queda and Bin Laden flying planes into the World Trade Center was a lie, Sadam Hussein having weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was a lie, and now this!!! Hell, I'm not sure if the guys name is George W. Bush anymore!!! Look, I know its almost 2009, and his reign of bullshit is almost over; I know this! I know that there's nothing we can do now to change what he has already done to the American public; thats not the point of this blog. However, we can be very careful of the next person we elect to the White House in November. For the love of everything good in our lives, please do not elect another "weapon of ass destruction". I'm sorry folks, but my anal sphincter just can't take it anymore.
