THE TOP TEN THINGS ON MYSPACE THAT MAKE ME SHAKE MY F*CKING HEAD - Updated with my replies ;-)
Category: MySpace

ELEVEN ("HONORABLE" MENTION) - PEOPLE WHO ARE SO ADDICTED TO MYSPACE THAT THEY NEED AN INTERVENTION.
 
 
*******
10. CORNY ASS DUDES WITH WACK ASS PICK-UP LINES: One of the most interesting realizations coming from the invention of the internet is that men who normally wouldn't even have half of a testicle to say anything to a woman in public, can now roll up on the ladies "Computer Love Style" like Kane in Menace II Society.
 
 
That being said, here's the "pick-up" line that inspired our opening entry:
 
May 28 2008 11:47 PM

If a million people sat at a million typewriters for a million years, they would never be able to type enough words to describe how beautiful you are.
 
*Speechless…*
 
:-/
 
Wow, I guess the only way to respond to that is..............
 
WHO THE FUCK STILL USES A TYPEWRITER!?!
 
Image:Typist.JPG
 
ANCIENT TYPEWRITER LADY: "Even I wouldn't give up the pu$$y for that line…"
 
*SMFH*
 
9. EXTREME/UNJUSTIFIED NARCISSISM: "I'm soooooooooooo sexxxy!!!" "We're sooooooooooooo sexxxy!!!" "My baby is sooooooooooo sexxxy!!!" – And the fucked up thing is that she's not talking about her "baby" as in her boyfriend, her honey, or her MAN - She's actually talking about her child… Her infant child… (No joke) – I've seen this pseudo-incestuous (My brother, sister, mother, father, child, baby = SEXXXY) commentary on Myspace more times than I care to admit – And every damn time I'm thinking: "Uh… Before you start talking about how "SEXXXY" your baby is, can you at least wait until they cut the damn umbilical cord??? 
 
tip
 
Even worse are all these conceited chicks who have captions on *EVERY* damn picture (pages 1 – 88) boasting about how "sexxxy" they are or how many "haters" they have – I swear it's like "having haters" is the new jewelry: "Look at all my HATERS, bitches!!! I'm shinning!!! I'm SHINNING!!!!!!" – Or maybe… Just maybe..… It could be that people "hate" you just because you suck and most likely do inconsiderate shit like cursing out your mother for buying you a Lexus:
 
 
(Just a thought...)
 
8. PEOPLE WHO OWN STOCK IN PHOTOBUCKET.COM AND HAVE 99 ZILLION PICTURES FROM EVERY CLUB IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM ON THEIR MAIN PAGE WITH 15 TRILLION STREAMERS OF THEIR NAME ELECTRONICALLY FALLING LIKE RAIN FROM THE TOP OF THE SCREEN WITH 75,283 CHEESY GRAPHICS FROM EVERY 3RD RATE DIMESTORE LAYOUT WEBSITE IN CYBERSPACE THROWN IN FOR GOOD MEASURE, BUT WHEN YOU TRY TO POST A TINY LITTLE PICTURE IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF THEIR PAGE, IT SAYS…………………
 
Note: This user disables HTML comments.
Any HTML codes in your comment will be removed.
 
 
:-/
 
7. CHICKS WHO WEAR DENTAL FLOSS IN THEIR PICTURES AND THEN TURN AROUND AND WRITE ANGRY BLOGS ABOUT GUYS HITTING ON THEM: Umm… You're wearing a bra made of COOL WHIP in your default pic – Not exactly an advertisement for an engagement ring.
 
 
…And then you actually have the nerve to try to "write" a blog :-/
 
Y DO PPL HAFTA BE ALL UP IN MI SHIT!?!?!?!?
MOOD: Pissed off
 
look ppl i dont cum on hear too bee hit on im juss tryin to git mi modling carrer started so I wood reely appreciate it if u wood not leeve sex coments on mi pics
 
thanx,
paris
 
 
(QUICK QUESTION: Who the fuck taught you how to log-in?)
 
BTW: Did you notice that "MY" and "GET" are spelled wrong, but "APPRECIATE" was spelled perfectly? Sounds crazy, but I swear I've seen that shit before. One of life's unexplained mysteries – Kinda like: Why do we park in a "driveway" but drive in a "parkway?" – Why is Iceland "Green" but Greenland made of "Ice?" – Why do fools talk shit about Obama, but give Bush a free pass for fucking up the planet for 8 years? Etc, etc…
 
6. "REBEL WITHOUT A BLOG" – THROWING UP THE MIDDLEFINGER FOR NO DAMN REASON
 
 
You wanna know why people started throwing up the middle finger to photographers? Because they were flippin off the paparazzi idiots who've been stalking them for the last 3 years – Or they were trying to tell some psychotic fan to back off and "Leave me alone" just wouldn't do the trick – Or they were simply trying to make a rebellious statement against the damn SYSTEM that's been screwing us ALL for years…
 
Meanwhile, YOU are taking your own pictures and flipping off yourself.
 
 
 
(Above: NOT a rebel.)
 
In case you're still confused about the appropriate "flippage" of "the bird", I have put together a brief photographic demonstration:
 
YES.
 
YES.
 
NO.
 
5. THIS NEW "OWN/BUY/RENT/LEASE YOUR FRIENDS" PROCRASTINATION TOOL OF THE DEVIL GAME: When I first got an inbox to "add the Buy Your Friends application" to my profile, I swear I thought that shit was SPAM. I was replying back to everybody telling them to change their passwords because I thought someone "phished" their account and spammed me using their name – But NO, it was intentional :-O
 
Check out the "Myspace description" of the game……..
 
 ABOUT OWN YOUR FRIENDS:
 
~Buy your friends.
~Get bought.
~Unwrap your human gifts.
~See how much you're worth!
 
See how much I'm worth?
 
Unwrap your human gifts?
 
What's next Tom? Sellin Negroes on EBAY? As if "awaiting approval" wasn't bad enough, you got people playing "ROOTS ON-LINE" on some Kunta Kinte shit…….
 
 
*SMFH*
 
4. "HARD-CORE THUGS" POSING WITH GUNS AND TANKS AND MISSILE LAUNCHERS IN THEIR DEFAULT PIC, BUT WHEN THEY SEE A FINE ASS FEMALE ON MYSPACE they instantly turn soft and innocently reach into their bucket full of peaceful photos where they will gently pull out a hallmark-esque picture of a cuddly little fluffy puppy silently sleeping on a soft white blanket with red hearts sprinkled about while they kindly type: "Thanks for the add Beautiful!" and post the photobucket code to her page....
 
 
...Just so they can try to bang her and RUN.
 
 
SLEEPING PUPPY: "I woke up just to say that even I knew they wanted to bang her and run..."
 
DON'T BE FOOLED LADIES! IT'S A TRICK! HE'S GOT A MACHINE GUN IN HIS *DEFAULT PIC* FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!!! RUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
       
 
 
3. PREGNANT TEENAGERS WHO GET KNOCKED UP AT RECESS AND USE THEIR ULTRASOUND PICTURES AS THEIR DEFAULT PIC
 
 
Is it just me or does it seem like some of these chicks are born pregnant? Just the other day I saw this 19 year old talking about her "middle child" (which means at least 3 kids) in her "about me" section while listing her orientation as "Swinger" - That literally made me shake my fucking head... Especially since 2 of her kids are mine.
 
(I'm fucking with you.)
 
On the real though, I think we should all take a minute to look at what's happening in our society today: Fathers not in the home... Mothers working two jobs... Kids on swing sets being pushed by R. Kelly...  We need to do better y'all... And maybe, just maybe, a positive change can begin to bloom in the hearts and minds of every American that will inevitably result in a much better world for you... And for me.

2. POTENTIAL STALKERS WHO MAKE ME CRINGE WITH THEIR FIRST INBOX
 
 
(NOTE: I sent her a "blog invite" and she replied below – Only the name and addresses have been changed.)
 
Date: Jul 22, 2008 3:23 AM

underlying handsomeness any woman would seek for in a man.I express to you my faithfulness, not forgetting that God gave us his son Jesus Christ,
in perfect love. every woman has a preconceived thought or wish for
a special man to spend the rest of their life with. From reading

put fourth the effort to get to know me and make it reality for me.

MY RESPONSE----->   *Blocked*   :-O
 
(BTW: Before y'all go thinking I'm an insensitive bastard {Too late, I know.}, I don't usually post inboxes unless: A) You're a stranger who's *completely* out of line… Or B) You're a stranger who's *completely* full of **** - And the latter definitely applies here. How you gonna be from Sugarland, Texas (Houston) but have an e-mail address from England ? (Yahoo.co.uk?) Then, how you gonna misspell the name of your own damn city? (Suger?) THEN, how you gonna "express your faithfulness" to someone you didn't even know existed before he clicked the "invite to blog" button on your page 8 seconds ago? And while I can't deny my quintessential underlying handsomeness, how in the hell are you gonna even hint at "spending the rest of your life" with me!?! Seriously, that shit made me get outta my chair and check to see if my front door was locked. Speaking of which, she only has two top-friends on her entire list: Some weird white chick who keeps posting comments about "making money online" and TOM who looks like he's trying to jump the fuck off the page so he can get as FAR away from "Glenn Close" as possible – I can't say I blame him either.)

1. WHITE GIRLS WHO LOVE BLACK GUYS WAAAAAY TOO MUCH:
 
 
A few weeks ago, I got a friend request from an attractive white woman who wrote in the request box: "Please add me! I love ALL your songs! Even CinnamonSistaGirl!" (Listen to CSG and you'll know why she said "EVEN") So I went to her page, looked around a little bit, and noticed that her whole top 40 was 400% filled with black men. Then I scrolled down and saw the same thing for every public comment. For a second, I was like "Damn" and scrolled back up to make sure I wasn't on the Myspace page for Morehouse University – But it was still Becky's page. So I started flippin' through her pictures and strangely enough, every picture was either by herself, with a Brother, or with a *group* of Brothers... There was even one picture where she was completely surrounded by Homies – Seriously, I hadn't seen that many black people around ONE white person since 8 Mile.
 
At this point, curiosity got the better of me and I just had to click her "view all friends" button. Almost instantly, I started hearing Old Negro Spiritual songs in my head as I flipped through never-ending pages of Negroes. I swear that whole list looked the Million Man March at Midnight. I saw people from my old hood back in the day, people I hadn't seen in years, long lost relatives, Barack Obama, EVERYBODY – I must have sent out 472 friend requests making plans for a family re-union, inboxing people about bringing BBQ, potato salad, dirty rice, coleslaw, Grey Goose, Green Duck, Red Rooster, Purple Penguin, Pink Pelican, or whatever kind of cheap imitation shit we can afford in a Bush economy.
 
…And since she brought us all together and achieved the impossible ("Black Unity"), we're inviting Becky too.

A KIND HEARTED OPEN LETTER TO ALL REPUBLICAN VOTERS: Please wake the F*CK up...
Category: News and Politics


"You know that old Beach Boys song, Bomb Iran? Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran. One hundred years in Iraq is fine with me - I'm going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated."  ~John McBomb



"It's the ECONOMY, Stupid."  ~Bill Clinton (1992)


I used to think that Ronald Reagan was GOD.

 

One of my earliest memories in life was when I was about 4 or 5 and my mom was changing the TV channels during his State of the Union Address and saying: "Look Chase! He's on every channel! No matter where you turn, there he is…"


I was scared shitless.


Instantly paranoid, I started looking all around the room – To the left by the front door, to the right by the kitchen, under the couch by the roaches; I even looked in the bathroom to see if Reagan was taking a piss.


But he wasn't…


…Because he was too busy pissing on working-class Americans.



QUOTE: The key transition is when Reagan became the hired front man for GE, hosting a program for them but also going around the country selling the concept that the corporation is a benevolent and positive force in our lives, without any downsides. Reagan went from a "B" movie career to an "A" career as a political salesman for corporate wealth and control of the government. In the turbulent social climate of the '60s, his wealthy backers (who regarded him as a prize race horse for a right-wing coup for the super rich and corporate welfare) watched as Reagan won the governorship and masterfully was guided in the use of wedge issues such as "Guns and God" to lure the emerging displaced middle class into voting Republican. The GOP had perfected the selling of a myth about America -- and they had the hale and hearty actor to sell the product.


The myth of "morning in America" obscured the emerging theft of jobs from the middle class by creating emotional hot buttons for rural and working class voters to gravitate toward: Their values were under attack by liberal extremists, they were repeatedly told. Only the Republicans could save the nation from further moral degradation, the myth went -- and only the GOP could guarantee victory in foreign conflicts (even if the conflicts were often unnecessary and the GOP failed to achieve "victory," however it might be defined).

http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/editorblog/081


(Sound familiar?)


If not, then let me make it plain…



REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS WANT YOU TO BE PISSED OFF AT "NIGGERS"




(DISCLAIMER: For the record, I do not adhere to the idiotic sentiment of "anyone can be a nigger" – That is complete bullshit – It's a derogatory word that is specifically meant to demean Black people. I am only using the word to show how the GOP wants us to keep blaming everybody else for society's ills so we don't focus on the REAL "niggers" – THEM. Besides, the word "Boogie Man" just doesn't have the same *bite* to it. Now let's proceed…)


 


 

BLAME THE STEREOTYPICAL BLACK NIGGERS: "Those affirmative action needing, welfare loving, lazy ass freeloaders just want more handouts at the expense of hard-working White Americans! They're gonna steal your jobs! They're gonna steal your tax dollars! They're gonna breathe up all the White Man's AIR!!!"


 



BLAME THE BROWN ILLEGAL-ALIEN NIGGERS: "Those border jumping, fence climbing, Non-English speaking freeloaders just want more handouts at the expense of hard-working White Americans! They're gonna steal your jobs! They're gonna steal your tax dollars! They're gonna breathe up all the White Man's AIR dammit!!!"


 


 

BLAME THE FOREIGN TERRORIST ISLAMIC SAND NIGGERS: "Those towel-headed, bin Laden loving, Non-English speaking freeloaders just want more handouts at the expense of hard-working White…. Uh…. I mean, they're gonna steal your………... Ummm… Wait a second, Oh yeah…. They're gonna blow you UP! They're gonna blow us ALL up! And you know what else? They're gonna breathe up all of our fucking AIR too! I can't breathe dammit!!! I can't BREEEEATHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"



 

BLAME THE GODLESS GAY HOMOSEXUAL NIGGERS: "Those fairies actually wanna get married! MARRIED dammit! I can't BREEEEEEATHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

BLAME THE TAX-RAISING, LIBERAL DEMOCRAT, WHITE NIGGER LOVERS: "And these crackers actually wanna bring all of the OTHER niggers right up to your front DOOR!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BREA....."

 

*Dies*   :-O


 

And on the flip side, here's their other game…



REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS CONSTANTLY ALIGN THEMSELVES WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT NO AMERICAN COULD POSSIBLY BE AGAINST



"Vote for me! I'm for AMERICA! Vote for me! I'm for the FLAG! Vote for me! I'm for GOD! Vote for me! I'm for speaking ENGLISH! Vote for me! I love my wife and ALL of my heterosexual children! Vote for me! I would NEVER kill a baby! Vote for me! I would never even throw away my own semen in a Kleenex! Wet dreams are the Devil!"

 


 

But it's all a fucking lie…


At the end of the day, the Republicans are in office for one thing: Making the rich RICHER. And they will give endless tax cuts to zillionaires while ignoring working-class Americans and kill over a million innocent Iraqi civilians to do it.


http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/sep/16/iraq.iraqtimeline


(Do you seriously think they actually give a fuck about an unborn fetus?)


 

 


So here's the bottom line for all of you "working class" people who keep voting Republican...



STOP VOTING AGAINST YOUR ECONOMIC SELF-INTERESTS JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK "NIGGERS" ARE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR SHIT.



(Because they're NOT.)


 

In fact, if you really wanna know where your precious tax dollars went, then you don't have to look any further than the fascists in the flag-pinned suits who keep telling you to look at everyone else…





Yeah, I guess the government admitting that they "can't find" 2.3 TRILLION TAX DOLLARS (1 Trillion = 1 million dollars, 1 million times) kind of makes it just a tad bit difficult to blame the "lazy imaginary Negro on welfare" for stealing money from the paychecks of "Hard Working White Americans." :-/

 

 


It's not rocket science people…


2 BUSH "PRESIDENTS"

2 RECESSIONS

2 IRAQ WAR$


Please wake up and realize that we cannot have another term of a Republican administration that focuses more on endless wars for oil overseas, instead of the failing economy here at home, more on tax cuts for the American upper-class, instead of healthcare for the American working-class, more on dividing us by red states and blue states and black people and white people, instead of making everyone understand that we are ALL in the same boat…


…And that boat is sinking.


We "The People" have to see beyond the "liberal" labels and the "conservative" labels, beyond the blatant lies and the deceptive distractions, beyond the superficial and the artificial, beyond these corporate demagogues masquerading as patriots and the blank stares obscured by the fake smiles of their Stepford wives, and beyond every smoke and mirrored illusion whose only aim is to keep us dumb, deaf, and blind to the inevitable question regarding the only thing that truly matters…


Are we "The People" better off than we were 8 years ago?


 

~Swayze



"You know, they want to divide us over race. I'm from the South. I understand this. This is the same old scam they've been pulling on us for decade after decade after decade. When their economic policies fail, when the country's coming apart rather than coming together, what do they do? They find the most economically insecure white men and scare the living daylights out of them. They know if they can keep us looking at each other across a racial divide, if I can look at a Black man and think that he wants my job and my promotion, then neither of us can look at George Bush and say, 'What happened to everybody's job? What happened to everybody's income? What – Have – You – Done – To – Our – Country?!?!?!?"


~Bill Clinton 1991

HOLY SHIT: When Jehovah Witnessess get dissed and dismissed :-O
Category: Religion and Philosophy

WELL, HAVE A HAPPY HOLY HALLELUJAH HOMEBOY: These Mormon Missionaries rolled up on dude thinking they could "teach him more about Jesus Christ" - Unfortunately for them, they didn’t know they were actually talking to a preacher.

 
 
This whole episode reminds me of the time when I was ever-so innocently chewing up my scrambled eggs and drinking down my orange flavored beverage one quiet & calm morning...
 
When all of the sudden...........
 
*Knocking at my door*
 
:-/
 
(Followed by...)
 
*Louder knocking on my door*
 
:-O
 
(Followed by...)
 
*ME: Getting up while wondering why the hell people just looooooove knocking on doors when there’s a damn DOORBELL clear as Day starring them RIGHT in the face*
 
:-/
 
*Reluctantly opening the door...*
 
KNOCKER 1: Hi! We’re Christians from the Church of Christians and we were wondering if you’d like to learn more about Jesus! Are you busy?
 
KNOCKER 2:
 
ME (*Still chewing*): Ummm, well actually I’m...........
 
KNOCKER 1: GREAT! So are you............... A Christian?
 
KNOCKER 2:
 
 
ME (*Still chewing*): Well, I definitely believe in God (*Swallows*) and my whole family is Christian for the most part, but I consider myself to be more spiritual than anything else. I haven’t really "declared" a religion and I don’t believe that someone has to "be" inside of a church building in order to be a "believer" - Your body is your temple and if you sincerely believe in whatever you believe in, then, within yourself, you’re in church 7 days a week.
 
KNOCKER 1: Well, we believe that Jesus was the Son of God and that He died for our sins, And that He is the only way towards eternal Salvation...
 
KNOCKER 2:
 
ME (*Thinking about my eggs*): And I totally understand that, but what about other religions? Are all Jews going to "Hell" simply because they don’t believe that Jesus was the Son of God? And what about people who never even chose a religion in the first place? What type of Religious Jurisdiction are they gonna be classified under in the "afterlife?"
 
(And yes, I said it just like that... My eggs were getting cold, dammit.)
 
KNOCKER 2:
 
KNOCKER 1: Uh... Well... Jesus loves everybody... Even people like you.
 
ME (*Thinking of a good place to hide the bodies*): Hold up kid, I know you are not judging me on my own doorstep... My friend T.D. says it’s not polite to judge other people.
 
KNOCKER 1: Your friend T.D.... You mean T.D. Jakes???
 
KNOCKER 2:
 
ME: No... I mean The Door.
 
*SLAM!!!*
 
 
(Oh come on T.D... It coulda been worse.)
 
 
Anyway, I’m sure there are countless reasons why zillions of people give the overused cliche’ of being "spiritual" over being religious... And some of these so-called preachers & pastors continuously add to these countless reasons:
 
We’ve got the fraudulent "faith-healer"
 
 
The child-molestor...
 
 
And the all around classic nutcase...
 
 
(There’s a lot more I could say right now, but fuck it... It’s 1 A.M.)
 
So now it’s your turn... What do you think of religion in general? Do you believe in Evolution (We came from monkeys) or Creationism (God put us here)?
 
In the meantime, I’m taking my ass to bed... Answer the damn questions or you’re going to burn in fucking HELL
 
 
Thanks,
Chase

CAUGHT ON TAPE: White people respond to Obama’s Racist Pastor (UPDATE: You STILL don’t get it.)
Category: News and Politics

THE "CONTROVERSY"

 

THE "RESPONSE"

 

Aiiiiiiight, now let me just say this first... I don’t have as much time as I used to as far as writing long, meticulously detailed blogs, so if you wanna know how I feel about certain people who just don’t get it, click HERE.  (My "Open Letter" blog)
 
And if you wanna know how I feel about politics in general, click HERE.  (My "State of the Union" blog)
 
BOTTOM LINE: The Jeremiah Wright issue is a NON-story.
 
If people are too damn dumb to understand that *pointing out racism* is NOT "racist" and that *pointing out injustice* is not unjust, and if people are too damn deaf to hear that Black Anger is completely rooted in a defense mechanism (and NOT a superiority complex) that only wishes to right-the-wrongs of an offensive society, and if people are too damn blind to see that our intense anger is COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED, and not just based on "historical" circumstances, but also based on what’s happening RIGHT NOW as you read these words, from Jamestown to the Jena 6, from Columbus to Katrina, from the goddamn overseer to the goddamn officer... If people are that damn hopeless and can’t just *GET IT* then I completely REFUSE to waste any more words on the dumb, deaf, and blind.
 
 
For we have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism. We can tackle race only as spectacle - as we did in the OJ trial - or in the wake of tragedy, as we did in the aftermath of Katrina - or as fodder for the nightly news. We can play Reverend Wright’s sermons on every channel, every day and talk about them from now until the election, and make the only question in this campaign whether or not the American people think that I somehow believe or sympathize with his most offensive words. We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she’s playing the race card, or we can speculate on whether white men will all flock to John McCain in the general election regardless of his policies.

We can do that.

But if we do, I can tell you that in the next election, we’ll be talking about some other distraction.
 
And then another one.
 
And then another one.
 
And nothing will change.
 
~Barack Obama

A letter for Chase Swazye
Current mood: numb
Category:
News and Politics



Chase I wanted to respond to your blog but I knew if I did that I would get "The Wrath of Swayze" and there would be a long drawn out you’re wrong, no, you’re wrong battle, that is not what I want.

Even though you know that I am a Hillary supporter please believe me when I say in my heart I really wanted to support Obama. I just don’t think he has enough experience and I knew what the fall out would be if he failed.

I was devastated when I saw the tape of Rev. Wright because I knew it was the end of Obama. The Rev. is the same as Farrakhan and potential President of any nation can’t affiliate themselves with such extremist...period. This is the problem; Obama should have known better than this. It was incredibility bad judgment on his part, more than anything I just can’t believe a man that smart did something so stupid. The man is about to be bestowed with the greatest honor a human can achieve; PRESIDENT. His honor will be especially acclaimed because he would be the 1st African American President

When you accept a position of leadership you must shed old "habits" because you’ve been given a higher calling, a greater responsibility. You are the leader. That’s what happened to Michael Vic, he wanted to keep doing the same old things and associate with his same old crew even though he was in the lime light. Seems unfair, but thems the breaks.

Steve Harvey said "Everyone that comes with you can’t go with you." Enlightenment is a lonely journey...I know, on my own tiny level I have experienced a need to cut off people that I love because they are detrimental to my personal growth.

The Rev is so out of line with his comments it is just stupefying. Watch the part about Hillary again...he’s straight out telling us that we need a black in office...that is reverse racism, in fact it is the very definition of racism.

Have we totally forgotten what Martin Luther King tried to teach all of us? You can’t get justice with anger, violence or hate. Dr. King would have been appalled by Rev. Wright.

It is insane to even suggest that whites can not understand inequality ...sure they can! There were no blacks in congress during the the civil rights movement, ( I stand corrected......... there were black congressmen as follows:

Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Dem New York 1945 - 1971

Charles Diggs Dem Michagan 1955 - 1980

Robert Nix Sr Dem Pennylvainia 1958 - 1979

Augstus F. Hawkins Dem California 1963 - 1991

John Conyer Jr Dem Michigan 1965 - present

William L. Clay Sr. Dem Missouri 1969 - 2001

Louis Stokes Dem Ohio 1969 - 1999

Shirley Chisholm Dem New York 1969 - 1983

White people like Robert Kennedy took up the cause of blacks. If it weren’t for sympathetic whites you and I would be picking cotton right now.

Why blame the government for all the wrongs in the Black community? Why not blame The Nation of Islam? They are more likely co conspirators with Al-Qaida than Bush is. I am so tired of the "Black crutch"!!!!! I am so tired of Blacks blaming whites because of stuff that is your own personal fault.

NO THE PLAYING FIELD IS "NOT" EQUAL!!!!!! BUT.....

Nobody made your black ass commit three strikes and get life in jail.

You say you can’t get a job but what are you qualified to do? Nobody made your black ass drop out of the free public high school that your grandmother died so you could go to.

NO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM IS NOT FAIR!!! But you couldn’t even do that!!

Yes, Yes, we still need affirmative action because racism is still alive but can you get your degree so when the job comes open you meet the criteria?

Nobody made you leave your babies with the equally stupid babies mommas that had them. Nobody made you buy/sell drugs. You, black ..:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 />America have a choice....

It’s your own fault your life is jacked up, you are your own worst enemy. Can you take responsibility for that.... or would you like your crutch back?

(MY RESPONSE)
 
The first time I read this, I was on my lunch break from work. When I read it then, I didn’t necessarily have a negative reaction... But now, I’m thinking "She MUST have re-wrote this $h!t" because I’m extremely put-off by certain parts. I don’t have time to go into in detail right now, but I’ll sum it up quickly with a verse from one of my songs:

"Some niggaz can’t STAND progress, they mean mug and wanna fight me, then they turn around and ONLY point the finger at whitey, saying HE’S the only reason why we are where we are, when BLACK "crabs-in-a-barrell" HATE to see a "Black Star", And YES the history of the White Majority’s WORSE, but BLACKS put other BLACKS in a Minority hearse.........."
 
~Sardines (2004)

BOTTOM LINE: No one is blaming *EVERYTHING* on the government and the "White Man", and of COURSE there are Black people that are fucking up ALL ON THEIR OWN, but that doesn’t mean that *THE SYSTEM* is not COMPLETELY fucking us ALL (Especially Non-Whites) - And THAT is what Wright was talking about.
 
BTW: Just like it’s not SEXIST for a woman to say "we need a woman in office" it is not "RACIST" to say "we need a BLACK" in office - BOTH have *NEVER* been - So *BOTH* are LONG overdue.
 
I have absolutely NO idea why YOU (a *BLACK* FEMALE) can’t understand ANY of this :-/

"I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today — my own government."

~Martin Luther King

"NO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM IS NOT FAIR!!! NO THE PLAYING FIELD IS "NOT" EQUAL!!!!!! Yes, Yes, YES we still need affirmative action because racism is still alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

~YOU

A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION FOR ANY BLACK FEMALE WHO DARES TO ANSWER :-O
Category: News and Politics

Do you relate more to Hillary’s gender or Obama’s race?  :-/

Aiiiiight y’all, for the record, I really didn’t wanna talk about this type of thing because I feel like I’d just be playing into the hands of the media overlords who wish to separate "The American People" into simple idiots who will ONLY vote for people who look like them.....

WHITE WOMEN ARE ONLY FOR HILLARY:

BROTHERS ARE ONLY FOR BARACK:

AND IDIOTS ARE ONLY FOR McCAIN:

(Okay, that last one’s probably true...)

But you know what? I’m a firm believer that most people vote based on ideology:

What he thinks VS What she thinks.

Seriously people, If Clarence "Uncle" Thomas was running...

Against John Edwards.....

Then guess what?

But anyway, I sincerely wish the media would quit being so damn divisive.

I’ve seen Homeboys for Hillary...

I’ve seen Becky’s for Barack...
