Venting to an Empty Room

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.
