Ever wonder what a real right-wing nutjob looks like?
Well look no further; for I have found one:
Yes, Tammy Faye Baker lives, folks.
You know how they say if you wanna know what your girlfriend or potential wife will look when she gets older you should look at her mother. Well America, this is what the future of douche-baggery, and tinfoil-hatness actually looks like. Yep, bug-eyed white women angry about paying that Obama tanning tax.
Ok y'all, so I realize I haven't done one of these posts in a while - what can I say, Negroes have been on their best behavior. I also know that I have yet to personally weigh in on the subject that is Mel Gibson and his racist rant - I keep getting emails from people asking me to give my take on it, but up until now I've refused.
I mean it's Mel Gibson; that fool ain't been right ever since The Passion of the Christ! I expect turds to fall out of his mouth at any given time. But today, I can no longer be silent. Nope, just when I thought black people have been on their best behavior, in comes Whoopi Goldberg to completely fuck everything up for us:
OK, so by now you know the story and how recorded conversations between Mel Gibson are being leaked all over the internet. Yes, and I'm sure you know that according to Mel Gibson, niggers run around in packs raping women. Yeah, it doesn't matter that 52% of imprisoned rapists happens to be white; blacks get away with it I suppose.
My question to Whoopi, I mean, since she's a friend of Mel and all, and he's obviously not racist, is just how many niggers does a pack actually make? I mean does a pack of niggers constitute a group of three or more? I mean what exactly is the cut off? Better yet, just how many women do they rape daily?
I mean inquiring minds would like to know... because I'm sure her and Mel discussed this sort of thing at her house. I mean I'm curious because, well, this isn't the first time she has felt the need to be a Negro apologist. She defended Ted Danson's blackface schtick at the Friars Club remember that?
Hell, Ted Danson was so much of a friend that she was sleeping with him. Then recently, she donned her slave-catching net once again by defending child rapist Roman Polanski; you know, the guy who left the country to duck charges for child rape only to be caught recently somewhere in Europe. Yeah, she said, "it wasn't rape-rape."
So yeah, maybe I'm wrong about Whoopi especially when it comes to her defense of Mel Gibson. Yep, maybe Mel Gibson isn't racist because Whoopi doesn't have to worry about being raped by a pack of niggers because she looks like a man. Surely if she dressed like Mel's ex, she would have a problem, right?
Yep, maybe Mel's just a nice guy and we're all wrong about him; maybe he's not a raging drunk misogynist woman beater. Shit maybe the people I personally know who were friends of mine sitting in prison for drug trafficking aren't really drug dealers. I dunno, but this shit is too much to think about as hot as it is out here.
There's no way Mel is racist; hell, if Whoopi can make a conscious (and successful) effort to remove the word "nigger" from her act as she has. Surely she would know who is and isn't racist when they use the word, right?
NOTE: My sincere apologies to the ugly man-like looking women for this one.
Look, it's no secret that the involuntary manslaughter conviction and potential 2-4 year sentence of Johanness Merhsele in the Oscar Grant trial presents itself to be yet another injustice face by African Americans. I suppose that anything short of a public flogging and subsequent beheading as punishment in this case isn't justice in the minds of many, who just so happen to be black. Well I say, though understandable, it's a misguided and ill-formed opinion. Moreover, much of it lies in the assumption that justice wasn't served because the victim in this case died at the hands of a white man, who happened to be a police officer.
NOTE: Black folks kill each other senselessly everyday and nobody riots.
Now I understand quite clearly the historical context of "justice" as it applies to minorities here in the US of A. But the automatic assumption that justice wasn't served in this case, I find to be be sadly shrouded in tribal knee-jerked reactions. Sure I know this is hard to accept coming from me the ever present and always on the job racism ambulance chaser that I am. But, being a habitual line stepper and free thinker, I would be remiss if I didn't call bullshit, or keep it real as I do on this site as I do.
Over the last few days I've communicated with people on and offline on the subject of this verdict. The one thing that remains consistent is that people are of the opinion that an "involuntary manslaughter" conviction wasn't good enough, because the cop in this case deliberately shot and killed an unarmed black man. A black man who at the time was laying face down on the pavement. Yes, like you I saw the video clip; but what amazes me, is the absolute deafening silence when I ask people to prove that officer Merhsele intentionally, willfully, and deliberately pulled the trigger to execute Oscar Grant.
Even more troubling, is the lack of understanding of involuntary manslaughter, voluntary manslaughter, or second-degree murder as legally defined in California; or the choices the jury had to make in this case. With that said, let's take a look at the breakdown of said definitions as it applied to a conviction of Merhsele:
SECOND-DEGREE MURDER: An intentional killing that was neither planned or premeditated. The jury had to be convinced that Merhsele fired his gun deliberately.
VOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER: Oscar Grant was killed in the "heat of passion" without intent. The jury had to believe that Merhsele's fear of danger from Grant and his friends was unreasonable
INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER: Killing of another person with "criminal negligence". The jury had to believe that Merhsele's deviations from training were so profound that it was criminal.
ACQUITTAL: Accused not found guilty. The jury would conclude and accept that Merhsele used appropriate level of force for the level of threat he perceived.
So now I ask, after reading the four choices they were given above, just which outcome or verdict is acceptable. Better yet, if you were on the jury, which one would you argue or vote for? Further, just exactly what evidence or testimony would you use to press your argument? Yep, make your case; I'm listening...
There are far more videos like this at WorldStarHipHop.com, but I don't feel like linking that shit. I will just use this one video to illustrate my point.
Whether it's Chris Brown or some random ass clown who obviously has had insufficient home training, it seems that men are forgetting to keep their hands to themselves, and it just doesn't seem to be garnering that much negative attention these days.
Take Mel Gibson and Chris Brown. Gibson has gotten less attention (in my opinion) than Brown, but they both seem to be left alone to their own devices. Hell, I don't even know if Gibson will face charges the way things are going. We could argue that it's privilege, and fame, and money... But I think that ignores the fact that on any given day, I can find some user submitted video of a some guy clocking some girl in the face.
In one recent video, a black male spectator having just witnessed a black woman get knocked bloody, commented that "bitches" need to stop running their mouths or else they will get hit.
I don't think anyone questions a man's ability to defend himself from anyone if attacked, or if his family is attacked. What I do question, is this idea that women deserve to get their asses beat for stepping to a male. My personal opinion is, if I don't matter, as long as I'm not wielding a knife, abusing you or anything that will cause immediate and serious harm to you then you can just as easily restrain me or walk away. I have to do that as a woman with other women who might get hyper. I can't just put my fist to someone's face because I feel like it or because they were talking all that mess. Why do some men today feel like the rules of engagement have changed?
And ultimately, that's what it comes down to. It seems that the rules of engagement have changed, or are changing, to where despicable, wicked behavior towards women is alright because we want to be seen as "equals." That's right. Some men have commented that because we asked for equality, we therefore should be able to take a punch like equals. But the same men that say this, adhere to the strictest of gender roles (must know how to cook, clean, tend to children almost alone, good sex when he wants on demand). That's not equality most of the time. I guess it comes in handy when you want to put your hands on woman.
Who is to blame? I might get flamed for this, but I'm finding that it's not just men teaching their sons that hitting women is okay. In fact, I'm finding that there are quite a few mothers, most of them admittedly single, that have made it clear that they've told their sons it's okay to hit a woman if she hits first. This is wrong because it's physically not fair, but it's also a great disservice to their own sons. The woman may get away with attacking their sons, but the sons will not get away no matter the circumstances. I blame the fathers who are absent, but I blame the mothers who have obviously lost their damned minds for this surplus of men who act like beasts. We've come to hate ourselves as women so much that we're passing that hate unto our sons.
Furthermore, it doesn't leave room for these men to be accountable for their actions. If a man strikes out at a woman, and hits her first, he will always feel justified in beating her ass down, even if she defends herself from his attacks. In fact, these are the same kind of guys who will do something that warrants some kind of physical fending off, but will be doubly insulted at a good punch to the face for something like me defending myself from being jumped, rape, robbery, etc.
I'm of the belief that the feminism we've come to understand today was not tailored to the minority experience, but at the same token, I feel like something that powerful in the hands of certain people was not helpful to women period. You would think that we've regressed in some ways. I will advocate my sons learn to be wise, and choose battles, and that it's not okay to put your hands on a woman unless their lives are in immediate danger, or their families, friends, or someone in need is in immediate danger. You should get the picture.
Ladies, if you have a clue, you know that these days, living in the world is like living in the Wild Wild West. It's not safe anymore. The media has turned us into faceless meat that serves one or two good purposes. If you're a minority, especially a black woman, you're really in a jam because you know you basically don't matter.
I cannot stress enough taking up boxing, martial arts or carrying a weapon (preferably a knife AND pepper spray and I mean the good kind that will make someone want to cough their lungs up). If you find yourself in a situation where a guy is abusive, or you are out with friends, and find yourself in a compromising position with a male, you need to be able to wet the place up if necessary. Usually, pepper spray is highly effective, especially if you get the right kind. A taser or stun gun are also great options. Even if you have to practice at home with some shadowboxing or kicks, do it. Fighting is a primal instinct. You don't need lessons on how to fight, although they help. You can teach yourself how to be an extremely dangerous weapon if need be, and it's a great workout.
Earlier this year, I was hit in the face by a relative who should've known better, but did not. Yes, even the people we appreciate and love, can fall for the hype. Couple that naivete and ignorance with a heavy dose of coddling and enabling, and you've got yourself a recipe for the situation I found myself in. I couldn't just sit there. I had to fight back and I did enough to send a message: "IF you hit me, I will hit you back and you will not like it."
You have to be able to take a punch, and to keep going. You also have to know the tactics that will get you in and out. Even in my karate class, I learned that staying and fighting is not the first option. It's the one you have to take when there are no other options.
It's hunting season on women, and you know that. We are not the only ones being hunted (as young boys are hunted at a very young age), but we are the easiest ones to hunt for longer periods of time. Don't think your sex will save you. Learn to protect yourself, and learn some self-defense. The idiots like the guy above are procreating. They are not facing enough repercussions. It's time to get over the idea that we will be protected.
The rules of engagement have changed...for the worse.
Quiet as kept, I am a native buckeye and I say bravo to LeBron James for knowing that he has broken the chains of one slavemaster, Dan Gilbert, the majority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
And Boo to Gilbert for being unprofessional and acting like a true slave owner whose best Buck just ran away.
Yesterday after announcing he was going to Miami. Gilbert released a scathing letter calling James a traitor, and someone who betrayed Cleveland. Wow, how the tides change when your money bag has left the building.
Plus Dan Gilbert is from Michigan! How the hell can someone from the bowels of Detroit call someone a traitor. That's that pimp shit.
Just a couple of months ago while James was playing in the playoffs he was God's right hand man in the eyes of Gilbert. And Gilbert, that corporatist, was racking in millions of dollars as the true businessman he really is.
James wasn't "heartless and callous" then was he Gilbert?
Now since LeBron has made a business decision, Gilbert attempts to discredit his savvy business decision and his major accomplishments in that hell hole of franchise that he helped build from the time he was 18-years-old.
You'd think that Gilbert would congratulate a man who has maneuvered through multiple obstacles. LeBron brought life to an almost defunct city, and as of late, overcame the challenge of moving beyond his mother getting her back thrown out by two of his teammates.
OK, there’s this hilarious bit that the comedian Sam Kinnison (sp) used to do that cracked me the fuck up. He would SCREAM: “Ladies if you want me to do something, then LET ME THE-FUCK-KNOW WHAT IT IS!!!! I’M NOT A MIND-FUCKIN’-READERRRRRRR! LET ME KNOWWWWWW!!!
Men get the humor and irony in this, while most women look at me as if I just farted loudly. But I think my man Sam was on to something here: I always try to stay attuned to my lover’s needs, looking for the physical cues, being “connected,” blah blah blah, but each and every woman is different, sometimes I need to ask and sometimes, dear ladies, it’s not so bad if you to give us A FUCKIN’ CLUE!!! Or at least a vowel. LOL!
What follows are actual tips from women (with commentary by yours truly):
Whatever you do, Do not use your teeth! Take them out if you have to. Also, try to keep the saliva down to a minimum?
Dang! And here all this time I thought very lightly using my teeth and the clit with lots of saliva was knocking 'em dead!
On the other hand, SALIVA, SALIVA, SALIVA: I can't overemphasize the importance of plenty of lubrication.
Ooookaaaaay… lots of saliva but no teeth, ma’fuccas.
The word cunnilingus derives from two Latin words: cunnus (female genitals) and lingere (to lick). The action should include not only the tongue but also the teeth. Tongue: soft yet firm. Teeth: Nibble around down there!
Ho sweat! Wait, guys, nibbling is OK!
I don't think it's necessary for a guy to spend much time in any area other than the clitoris. —It's the Clit
My aunt would drool when you said the name Mel Gibson. You know she's the one who would kill and steal for a white man to suit her. When speaking about him she would always emphasize that he was a good Catholic who had many babies and stayed married as if he would have a kid with her.
Well, that was before he ditched his old lady for a younger baby mama who decided to reveal the true Mel after she couldn't stand to fuck him anymore for the chump change his wife left him. But my aunt would probably still defend him to the core.
So let's see. Gibson has clearly stated that he loathes Jews, Blacks and now Latinos. What a small world he has created for himself.
I guess.
I'm not surprised. Hey, he was reared in Austrailia for some of his formative years and they're known for being vehemently racist and faithful domestic abusers. Ask the Aborigines.
But this is Hollywood folks. He is mild in comparison to some of the people making major decisions. You know the same folk who cried during the movie Avatar, swearing it was nothing short of a love story as opposed to another "White man saves the day" flick. Then in a heart beat they would cut the funding of a great movie staring great black actors without having to go through the backlot of Tyler Perry (pause, no homo).
All Gibson needs is a good ass whoopin, some days in rehab and a talk with Tim Wise, then inner circles of Hollywood will let him back in.
I guess.
Now I know why Danny Glover never mentions his sorry ass.
The whole world is waiting to hear LeBron James' decision as to where he'll play next year. Also watching with great anticipation is Leicester Bryce Stovell, a man who claims to be the estranged father of LeBron James. As bad as a rap black men receive for not taking care of their kids, and being absent from their lives. I felt that this story was heartwarming, encouraging, and unbelievably friggin hilarious all at the same damn time:
LeBron James and his mother Gloria James are being sued for millions by a man who claims he tried to prove he's the NBA star's biological father -- but LeBron and his mom tampered with the evidence in a diabolical cover-up.
The lawsuit is explosive -- in it, 55-year-old Leicester Bryce Stovell claims he met Gloria in a D.C. area bar in 1984 ... and had unprotected sex with her on the night they met. He later found out she was 15-years-old at the time ... he was 29.
According to the docs -- filed recently in federal court -- Gloria has spent the rest of her life shielding LeBron from the truth.
But the man making the claim isn't some schmuck -- dude is a Princeton graduate ... who earned a law degree from the University of Chicago ... and then became a Senior Legal Advisor for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
In his suit, Stovell claims he has a very clear recollection of the night he had "consensual sexual relations" with Gloria -- in fact, he even remembers apologizing for his sub-par performance.
Leicester claims Gloria went back to her hometown in Ohio after they hooked up -- but returned several months later to inform him she was pregnant with a boy named LeBron ... but she never specifically identified the father.
Leicester -- a self-proclaimed high school star athlete -- says he remembers telling Gloria, "Well, if he's mine, make sure he plays basketball." He claims that was the last time he saw Gloria for more than 20 years.
According to the docs, Leicester claims he reconnected with Gloria over the phone in 2007 -- when he began to think he could be LeBron's father ... partly because they look almost identical. Leicester also notes that when he saw LeBron at an NBA game he was, "struck by our similarity in appearance ... James and I are nearly if not identical height and pigmentation and have very similar athletic body types."
Leicester claims during the 2007 phone call -- Gloria denied ever meeting him -- threatened to have him physically harmed -- and told him, "LeBron's money is for his children." (Source:TMZ)
The story goes on to explain that through LeBron's attorneys, a DNA test was hooked up. Unfortunately for Leicester, the results of the DNA test ruled him out as being the father of LeBron James; it is his belief however, that somehow James and his mother rigged everything so as to produce those results.
First off, I could understand a brotha coming forward after all these years to try and reconnect with his son who just so happens to be the most popular, and very wealthy professional athlete. Yep, I can really understand that. However, how in the hell you gonna come forward and admit to having sex with a then 15yr old when you were fucking 29yrs old at the time you "allegedly" met her in a bar?
Last night I read and article that shed some light into the background that is the enigmatic Alvin Greene [read here]. In the article it mentioned that Greene was remembered by fellow high school classmates and teachers as painfully shy. I suppose this would explain his Rain Main perception when confronted by the bright lights that is the media as they poke and prod into his life. A perception that has left some wondering about his mental stability.
I must say that after reading that article which described how the pain of losing his mother at an early age deeply affected his life, that I felt sorry for him. But today is a new day, and in a recent interview with The Guardian of UK, I guess it could be said that we now know a bit more about Alvin Greene by way of what he sees as government policy solution to some of our problems in this economic climate. More specifically, his jobs policy.
Here's his "big idea" on job creation in South Carolina:
"Another thing we can do for jobs is make toys of me, especially for the holidays. Little dolls. Me. Like maybe little action dolls. Me in an army uniform, air force uniform, and me in my suit. They can make toys of me and my vehicle, especially for the holidays and Christmas for the kids. That's something that would create jobs. So you see I think out of the box like that. It's not something a typical person would bring up. That's something that could happen, that makes sense. It's not a joke."
I could be wrong, but me thinks somebody hasn't gotten over the fact of not getting that G.I. Joe with the King Fu grip for Christmas back in the day. But hey, this is Alvin Greene and not Barack Obama we're talking about here; we should not be surprised. Speaking of which, when asked about whether president Obama had been an inspiration for his candidacy given their shared skin color, he had this to say:
"Yes, I mean there's something that, you know, I knew so I just knew that. It was in my mind, I knew that, that, that, that the voters really, they really, that they really, erm, followed the candidate. That they really wanted substance in a candidate..."
To quote the Norwegian group Royksopp, best known here in America for their famous Geico caveman commercial jingle "Remind Me": "Brave men tell the truth, a wise man's tools are analogies and puzzles." So while we laugh at Greene's suggestion of creating Alvin Greene action figures. We should realize that it's actually not a bad idea. Many jobs would be created if we got back to manufacturing our own products, as opposed to importing them all from China.
“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
