I’m a black man…a PROUD black man.
And as a proud black man, I’m pissed off about recent things going on in the country…stupid shit that other black men are doing!
Antonio Henton, 3rd string quarterback for the Ohio State University was arrested earlier this week for solicitation. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it means that he propositioned a hooker for sex, not knowing that the hooker was actually an undercover female police officer. HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE!!! A freakin’ OSU player…and a QUARTERBACK…he should have women throwing themselves at him! What the HELL was he doing PAYING for ass?!!! Now his ignorant ass has been suspended from the team. How totally embarrassing!
O.J. Simpson bursts into a hotel with his “crew” to steal back his personal memorabilia…this idiocy doesn’t even deserve comment…I want O.J. to do Black America a favor and pull a Michael Jackson; just leave the country…he’s a HUGE embarrassment!
The Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson storm upon Jana, LA in a media frenzy that was much ado about nothing. I’m not saying that what happened to those black kids was fair, but did it warrant a visit from our civil rights leaders? Three white high school teens hang nooses from a tree and get suspended from school; then 6 black teens (who attended the same high school where the nooses were hung) grab one of the white boys and beat the shit out of him; 5 of the 6 were tried as adults (the 6th one was only 14 years old). Now, while I’ll admit that it’s cowardly and senseless for 6 guys to jump 1 guy, the penalty was pretty stiff. In fact, it was bullshit! But did it warrant a visit from our civil rights leaders? HELL NO!!! With all of the things that they could be spending time on, why go to Jana? Go somewhere and preach a sermon or shut the hell up! Jason Whitlock, an African-American sportswriter for the Kansas City Star said, “I believe that most, or a significant segment, of black America is tired of Jesse Jackson. We look at his track record of his accomplishments, and there‘s nothing there. There‘s nothing there. Other than Jesse and Al lining their pockets, they have done nothing. If you compare Jesse and Al to Martin and Malcolm, and what those guys accomplished, it‘s an embarrassment. I don‘t understand how these black leader, how our black leaders, get these lifetime appointments, like they‘re Supreme Court justices. We need to vote them out and bring in new leadership. It‘s not 1965. The problems aren‘t the same as they were in 1965. It‘s 2007. Black people have a new set of problems. And we need some new leadership and people with new solutions. These guys are trying to drag us back into the 1940s and ‘50s.” I agree 100%...and I’m embarrassed, aggravated and pissed.
Michael Vick…What can I say about that except…you can take the fool out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the fool! How embarrassing…
Then today, a black man called into Rush Limbaugh’s talk radio program and embarrassed himself. He started by launching a diatribe about there not being any such thing as white people. His point was that white is a color that doesn’t apply to anyone’s skin; there are Caucasian people, but not white people. Once Rush capitulated, this guy proceeded to say that Rush hates Democrats primarily because a majority of Democrats are black; and that proves that Rush is a racist. And finally, he made the claim that no one died under the Clinton Administration because there were no significant military activities under Clinton (that’s my transliteration of what he said…it was so convoluted that if I typed what he actually said, you’d have the same headache that I have now).
DAMN!!! Where do I even start??? Ok, first let me state that this is NOT a defense of Rush Limbaugh. The following comments are intended to slap the shit out of this stupid ass, embarrassing black man!
#1. Black people make up less than 15% of the entire country…it is IMPOSSIBLE that a majority of the Democratic Party is black…to say some shit like that was worse than dumb…
#2. Rush Limbaugh’s radio program is 97% political…why the fuck would you call into that particular radio program to argue semantics? Who gives a flying fuck if you call them white or Caucasian? That’s the dumb shit we let ourselves get all up in arms over. It’s like the stupid argument in the church about baptism…when you get dunked, does the preacher say, “…Father, Son, Holy Ghost” or does he say, “…in the name of Jesus”? Does it really matter? This shit gives me a headache!
#3. No one died during the Clinton Administration? There was no significant military activity while Clinton was in the White House???? You stupid mutherfucker! What were Rwanda, Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo and Haiti? It’s ok to disagree with or even dislike the current administration; it is our constitutional right to even protest…but can you at least ATTEMPT to sound intelligent while doing so? Just try…do it for me…
I’m just really, really tired of turning on the radio or television and being greeted with black men doing or saying dumb shit! Did the Million Man March set us back? Or was I just not really paying as close attention to national issues 10 years ago? I don’t remember anyone (other than Jesse Jackson) saying and doing the dumb shit that’s going on now…
Black men…please stop embarrassing yourselves and ME! I love you brothahs but you are PISSING ME THE FUCK OFF!!!
…Just my thoughts…err ranting for today…

The true irony of this post is that I can't really go in to the same kind of rant or even really agree with you without sounding like a racist (those stupid black leaders...it just doesn't roll off my tongue w/o sounding like a red-neck)
There is only one thing I could say...The Stupidity isn't limited to a particular group, minority (or majority) or whatever. Stupid is stupid.
As a society in general, we need to wake the f**k up. The fact that we're all still hung up to some extent (many to a great extent) on color/race just tells us how far we have to go still.
Instead of making sure that no kid anywhere in the world goes to bed hungry at night, we've got news people shoving OJ and Vick down our throat?? Are you serious?
Remember when the war started...there used to be death counts on the news? Like...'look...we killed 1000 of those bastards and only 56 soldiers died'. But now that those numbers are a little closer, we're forgetting shit like that.
It's crazy. The media is a machine. It's designed to tell people just enough information to keep them in fear. Fear that they aren't pretty enough, or cool enough, or white enough, or black enough, or young looking, or mature. Fear.
If we can get to the root of the fear and get rid of that.
We wouldn't need civil rights leaders because one group wouldn't be afraid of another group and the thought of harming another human being would be such a foreign thought that it would be almost laughable.
I know...it's a dreamworld I'm wishing for.
But that's me....an Irish-Welsh-Scottish-Cherokee-American...dreamer.
10 years ago we would have talked about this for the day as we worked. You don't have that anymore so here we are. The whole thing did bring back memories though.
I would have t agree with you, being honorary and all. You could have thrown Whoopie's support of Vick on that too, "that's what they do in that part of the country".
I forgot how back country Virgina is?
Todd,
You have an advantage over other red-necks; you, like Mike O. are honorary black so feel free to throw your 2 cents worth in without fear of negative reprisal...ain't that a bitch! 200 years ago black people were afraid to say the wrong thing for fear of an ass whippin...looks like we flipped the script, huh? Don't both extremes suck ass?
Mike O.,
I miss those days when we would talk about some bullshit all day long at work. And I didn't say anything about Whoopie because this posting was about dumb shit that black MEN say or do...plus everyone knows that Whoopie is an idiot...why bother even saying anything about her?
