This is why I cant stand black people.
Do yall remember back a couple years ago when one of those southern or midwestern rappers did that song "Chain Hang Low" and there was a shitstorm of controversy all over the internet, talking about how our people are all going to hell in a handbasket, because our young people dont know their history, and how on earth could this song - said to have roots in the slave trade and civil war - have made it on the air without so much as an advisory caution being made by SOMEBODY?
I remember.
I remember afro-written blogs all across the WWW bashing not only the rapper(s) that did the song, but their entire industry "family" for not putting the kibosh to it before it made a mockery of all that is African-American. I remember petitions and calls to action inciting folks to boycott the song and any radio station that played it. I remember the term "coon" being used, on more than one occasion, to describe such antics.
So Im walking through the parking garage, on the way to my car, and for the 5th or 6th time in a couple of days, this tune starts playing in my head. Where the FK is this song coming from? Why is it stuck in my head - AGAIN?
I get home, and Im buzzing around doing the things working women do when they finally get their asses home. I sit on my couch to open the mail, and what pops up on the TV? This SAME FKN SONG........... in a Walmart commercial.
RUFKNSERIOUS???
Where you at, angry black people? Is Al Sharpton on line 1? I never even really LIKED Jibbs like that (yeah, I finally remembered his name) but right about now, I could rent a bus and go get him and all his cousins, and drive city to city across America, kickin the asses of every fkn blog writer who had some smart shit to say "when he was just tryna feed his daughter" (no Biggie) but still shopping aisle 6 with the gotdamn falling prices.
Now personally, something about the song makes me physically sick - like my spirit gets all jacked up when I hear it, so when the commercial comes on, I immediately turn the channel. But nevermind me and my "Fallen" issues, where all the mad bloggers at? Where the rally at? Where's my "Support Target" t-shirt? LOL
Why is it that we got so much to say when one of our own, who may just be a misguided soul, moves wrong, but when that exact misstep is taken by Sam n'em (LOL) ...........
*crickets*
What, they make one GREAT cookout commercial and suddenly they can just do what they want? LOL A btch cant bump Jibbs comin down the bouley, but God forbid you be forced to give up that Great Value!
Make me sick.

BILL COSBY - A MUST READ
The Reverend Jesse Jackson almost never gets upstaged and I had never seen the Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson cry in public until last month. Jackson invited Bill Cosby to the annual Rainbow / PUSH conference for a conversation about the controversial remarks the entertainer offered May 17 at an NAACP dinner in Washington when America 's Jell-O Man shook things up by arguing that African Americans were betraying the legacy of civil rights victories.
Cosby said 'the lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.
These people are not parenting. They are buying things for their kids $500 sneakers for what? But they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics!'
Bill Cosby came to town and upstaged the reverend by going on the offense instead of defending his earlier remarks.
Thursday morning, Cosby showed no signs of repenting as he strode across the stage at the Sheraton Hotel ballroom before a standing room only crowd. Sporting a natty gold sports coat and dark glasses, he proceeded to unload a Laundry list of black America 's self-imposed ills.
The iconic actor and comedian kidded that he couldn't compete with the oratory of the Reverend but he preached circles around Jackson in their nearly hour-long conversation, delivering brutally frank one-liners and the toughest of love.
The enemy, he argues, is us: "There is a time, ladies and gentlemen, when we have to turn the mirror around."
Cosby acknowledged he wasn't critiquing all blacks. . . just the 50 percent of African Americans in the lower economic Neighborhood who drop out of school, and the alarming proportions of black men in prison and black teenage mothers.
The mostly black crowd seconded him with choruses of Amen. To the critics who pose, it's unproductive to air our dirty laundry in public, he responds, "Your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day." It's cursing on the way home, on the bus, train, in the candy store. They are cursing and grabbing each other and going nowhere. The book bag is very, very thin because there's nothing in it.
Don't worry about the white man, he added. I could care less about what white people think about me. . . Let them talk.
What are they saying that is so different from what their grandfathers said and did to us? What is different is what we are doing to ourselves.
For those who say Cosby is just an elitist who's "got his" but doesn't understand the plight of the black poor, he reminds us that, "We're going to turn that mirror around. It's not just the poor……….everybody's guilty."
Cosby and Jackson lamented that in the 50th years of Brown vs. Board of Education, our failings betray our legacy.
Jackson dabbed away tears as he recalled the financial struggles at Fisk University, a historically black college and Jackson 's Alma mater.
When Cosby was done, the 1,000 people in the room all jumped to their feet in ovation. We have shed tears too many times, at too many watershed moments before, while the hopes they inspired have fallen by the wayside. Not this time!
Cosby's plea to parents:
"Before you get to the point where you say 'I can't do nothing with them', do something with them."
Teach our children to speak English. There's no such thing as "talking white".
When the teacher calls, show up at the school.
When the idiot box starts spewing profane rap videos, turn it off.
Refrain from cursing around the kids.
Teach our boys that women should be cherished, not raped and demeaned.
Tell them that education is a prize we won with blood and tears, not a dishonor.
Stop making excuses for the agents and abettors of black on black crime.
It costs us nothing to do these things. But if we don't, it will cost us infinitely more tears.

A man and a woman started to have sex in the middle of a dark forest. After about fifteen minutes of it the man gets up and says " Damn! I wish we had a light!" the woman says " Me too, youve been eating grass for the last ten minutes!"

After one month Lamar and his skittle steez tie the knot with Miss Khloe K. Some say it's a publicity stunt, don't matter to me but I know his fam wasn't there. Where are the kids? No flower girl or ring bearer for them? That would be sad. Get yo Daddy skills in order and maybe the husband skills will come correct.
And then theres the neverending triangle of Swizz B, Mashonda and AKeys. Mashonda said it was over and done with. Her and Swizz are friends - but the night after Alicia announces her album dropping in Dec - she wrote something on twitter that got Mashonda all riled up. She got so riled up she wrote a long open letter to Alicia.
What Alicia wrote:
"I don't pretend 2 no wht luv is 4 every1, I can tell u wht it is for me;8:24 PM Sep 25th from web love is knowin all abt some1, & still wantin 2 b wit thm more thn any other persn. love is trustin the enuf 2 tell thm everythin abt urself,8:23 PM Sep 25th from web evn the things u might b ashamed of,love is feelin comfort&safe wit some1,but still gettin weak knees whn they walk n2 a room & smile at u.”8:22 PM Sep 25th from web WOW!! this debate is ILL! ya'll have some very interesting thoughts ;-)7:41 PM Sep 25th from web Studio debates are always random and funny!

Question is...N love is it better to go 4 the choice that is "SMART" or the choice that has "SPARK"??
What Mashonda responded with:

To this I say - if something so generic like that can set you off - you are not over it. And the open letter should have been to the one that was your husband. The woman is always at fault and the man skates free. That's funny.
Marriage ain't for everybody! Good luck to all that try and to those that don't.
