Not everyone is being good on Good Friday.


It's Good Friday and my man racism is still messing with me. (h/t Celina) Poor O, the wingnuts find all kinds of stuff to throw at him. Now he is being associated with some of our deepest and darkest fears as god fearing A-merry-cans: The black brute taking it to the bedroom and raping our women.

Oh field, relax, you lefties did a lot worse to George Bush and you didn't hear folks crying about all kinds of isms. It's just politics field, it has nothing to do with race. That pic you put up there with this post is just an example of god fearing A-merry-cans showing their frustrations and disgust with a man who wants to take us down the road of Socialism.

I see, is that why this guy refused to treat patients who voted for Obama? I thought doctors took some kind of oath to treat everybody in a fair and ethical way? Oh well, maybe it's not racism with the good doc, but the folks who came up with the cartoon...I am not so sure about, them.

But seriously, I need to quit. I am going to stop chasing racism in post racial A-merry-ca. I guess there is no need for it anymore. Not when everything is so race neutral. Hell, just recently, The National Review had on online symposium on black unemployment and they didn't even need any black folks to talk about it. In post racial A-merry-ca there is no longer a need for division based on race. Nope, a panel of white experts is all we need to tell us why black folks are unemployed.

"Well Bob, it seems that the blacks in A-merry-ca are unemployed because they simply don't want to work. Yes, that and the fact that many of them figure that since their ancestors worked so hard during slavery America owes them something. What a shame... "

But seriously, isn't this analogous to having a bunch of Jamaicans holding a symposium about the effects of too much snow on depression? Is it just me or does the whole thing seem a bit surreal?Oh hell, maybe it's just me. Check out the comments after the link I gave you.

Finally, I am going to have to find a religion and soon. I can't let another Good Friday come and go without truly appreciating it. The only thing I associate with Easter is Jamaican bun and cheese. Which reminds me, I have to give my baker in West Philly a call. I better enjoy all the Jamaican bun while I can. Why? Because pretty soon in post racial A-merry-ca, someone else will be baking those bad boys.

Here we go again


another case of a man killing those who were supposed to be close to him. The most recent in a growing list of heinous acts took place in Cleveland Ohio, today. (What the hell is wrong with you folks in the Buckeye state?) This animal killed his wife and four other people, --by all accounts three of them children-- and no one knows why. Now I ask you, what would lead someone to do such a despicable thing?

"It's probably one of the worst multiple shootings that I've seen in a long time," said Police Chief Michael McGrath. "I've seen a lot of previous ones, but this ranks right up there at the top."

Most of you who read this blog know that I am not religious, but I swear that there must be some new kind of evil taking hold of us. I know times are hard and the economy is in the tank, but black folks are used to dealing with hard times. Our unemployment rate of 8.1% has A-merry-cans freaking out, but that shit is the norm for us black folks. In fact, in our best year black folks didn't have those kinds of unemployment numbers. (Thanks David) So when I see Negroes freaking out like this one in Ohio, and the one out in California awhile back, I really have to wonder what the hell is going on.

What would cause a man to kill three children? Children! When did our people start killing children? Seriously, let's talk for a minute: We know that black men can do some vile inhumane shit to each other, but we have never been known to kill our young. Even the most depraved and wicked among us had some sense of honor when it came to our children. That shit is not true anymore. Now we are killing our children; our wives; our loved ones; and, yes, even ourselves. (I found this out after I started blogging this story. The animal in Ohio shot himself after being cornered by police) When brothers start taking out themselves you know that things are pretty fucked up. That is as sure a sign that the apocalypse is upon us as you will ever see.

"As they confronted him, he shot himself."

Of course he did, cowards always do.
