"Color aroused" police officers and the damage they do to all of us.

    More Americans are starting to see the live and in living color execution of Terence Crutcher.  And, as is usually the case, everyone is saying all the "right things". (Well, everyone except a certain presidential candidates. Really? More dangerous than Afghanistan?)This will go on until the next black man is unnecessarily killed by someone who is paid to protect and serve us.

Fortunately, one of the candidates for president is at least talking about it, but sadly, the other candidate is not. It's  not hard to figure out why. Most of that candidates support comes from a group of people who somehow believe that black men bring it on themselves by simply being....well, black.

You see it's like this: as a black man in America you don't have to be armed to be considered dangerous; just being a black man is in of itself a weapon to some of those "color aroused" folks out there.

Being color aroused makes you refer to a large black man as a "bad dude" without knowing anything about him. Color arousal makes you treat blacks as something other than American. Color arousal makes you lump them all together and treat their communities as somehow being separate and apart from the rest of America.

We might not be able to help being color aroused from time to time, but we should never let it dictate our actions in such a way.

Finally, I have been saying for weeks that Donald trump should release his taxes

Believe it o r not, I am not coming from a bad place with this, I am actually trying to help the guy out.

He is going to need the help if these stories about him giving $258,000.00  to pay off one of his business debts with money from his charity are true. So releasing his tax returns will show the world that his "milk is clean", and that he is being transparent and showing the world that his financial house is in order.

Any black man will do.

If you happen to be a black man living in West Virginia these days, bad water isn't all you have to worry about. Apparently there is an APB out on you. No black man in particular; any black man will do.




They want you for participating in some "suspicious activity".






That is so vague. I mean "suspicious activity" could be anything for crying out loud.






That's why this is somewhat problematic for men of color in that state. Unless, of course, you happen to be a well known black man in West Virginia. (Whatever happened to Major Harris?)






For instance, you might be walking down the street and minding your own business, but because you happen to have a copy of the Wall Street Journal you get arrested. Yes you could; because in West Virginia a black man reading the Wall Street Journal just might be viewed as "suspicious." Do you see where I am coming from? This is messed up on so many levels.






Oh well, this is all just a sign of the times. The more things change.....




But here is a scary thought: A few years ago, before the Internet and social media, this wouldn't even have been a big deal. Just business as usual here in some parts of America.




Good ole boys and gals would meet in the town square and exchange pleasantries about the whole thing.




"Hey, you seen any suspicious Negroes, lately?" "Nah, not yet, although I did see one down at the Piggly Wiggly and he was checking out mighty fast." "What he look like?" "Bald, dark skin, bout 5'10' 5'11'." "Did you get his license plate number? We might have to inform the sheriff about this."


Oh lord! Hey, at least it's not Oklahoma.

Throw the black man from CPAC, and the Devil we know.

I think the folks over at The Onion are messing with us again. This story cannot be real.

They actually tossed some black dude out of CPAC because he posed some tough questions to the GOP faithful?

That is not cool.

"In this video from CPAC, a black man seems like he sincerely interested in helping find a way for conservatives to appeal to other African Americans, but then he suddenly gets screamed on by a white guy who insists that "race doesn't matter." Which in short, summarizes why the Republicans continually lose the vote of any group that doesn't have white skin. Here is a partial transcript:

Black guy: "Recruit us."
White guy: "So?"
Black guy: "What's wrong with the message?"
White guy: "Why didn't you go out and look?"
Black guy: "What's wrong with the message? How many?" (Holding up five fingers on one hand)
White guy: "I don't count?!?!"
Black guy: "It matters."
White guy: "I don't ask people what their . . ?"
Black guy: "It matters because."
White guy: ((unintelligible))
Black guy: "I do. Cause race matters."
White guy: "No it doesn't!!! You're an American! You're not a black person! You're an American! I didn't go in and count all the Jews?"

The white guy continues to scream at the black guy, and doesn't get asked to leave. The black guy gets asked to leave. There's a shocker.
Then, perhaps realizing what a racist ass he has revealed himself to be, the white guy accuses the black guy of trying to divide the country by acknowledging that he is, in fact, a black guy in a failed effort to hide the fact that he's a racist.
Near the end of the video, the man who was asked to leave goes on to say:

"I'm trying to understand how come there's no black people here. I'm trying to figure out why the outreach of the GOP and especially CPAC is not working with black citizens and I have yet to find an answer, only I get, all I've gotten is abrasive attitudes and people yelling because I guess I ask the tough question, just ask the simple question, where's the inclusion? Where are the black people? I don't know why that is so offensive?"

Perhaps this man hasn't yet caught on that the Republican Party is a broken flop. Republicans telling white Republicans that race no longer matters only works on white Republicans, and they exclude everyone who isn't white and wealthy.

Here's another shocker: The bald screaming white guy is none other than Jeff Dunetz, yidwithlid. A full blown Breitbart ambushing hack."

"Bald screaming white guy". That's a perfect backdrop for the stormfont CPAC gathering. Why you Negroes even try to engage these shlemiels is beyond me. But hey, I respect you all for trying. Maybe you all can pocket some of that ten million the RNC is throwing around for minority outreach.

Speaking of things that cannot be real. The History Channel found themselves in the middle of a controversy with their new miniseries called The Bible. Folks are saying that the Devil resembles a certain tall skinny guy with a Muslim name. (No wonder Jay-Z likes him so much. I kid, I kid.) Anyway, some, like my twitter fam Alinda, would argue that this is just a "variation of the they all look alike" meme.  Others would argue that dude really does like his Oness, and that the History Channel, like Lucy, has some splaining to do. (Why does the black man have to play the devil?) The wingnuts, of course, all see this as some sort of a sign. I can already hear the sermons come Sunday morning:

"My brothers and sisters, just as we have always suspected, that Obama fellow is the devil. Sometimes the Lord works in mysterious ways. He chose the History Channel to reveal this all to us." 

  "Creators of the History channel series called the comparison off base.
“This is utter nonsense,” HISTORY channel producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett said. “The actor who played Satan, Mehdi Ouazanni, is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor. He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics — including Satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our president.”

Too late Mr. Burnett, you have already opened that door, and all hell is breaking loose (pun intended) on social media.

"Right-wing commentator and radio-host Glenn Beck tweeted: "Anyone else think the Devil in #TheBible Sunday on History Channel looks exactly like That Guy?"

Glenn, he might look like him, but I suspect that you are a lot closer to the Devil than"That Guy".

Another white person cries wolf: Or,in this case, Obama.

You would think poor Ashley Todd would know better. Susan Smith tried it,it didn't work. Charles Stuart tried it; it didn't work. Hell even Lindsey Lohan tried it, but it didn't work. Still, I can't say that I totally blame home girl. It used to be always safe to blame the black man in A-merry-ca. But now in the age of 24 hour surveillance cameras, and polygraph tests, it just might not be so easy anymore. Still, Ashley gave it the old college try.

Ashley Todd said that a big 6 four 4 black man put a five inch knife to her neck, took her money, and when he saw a McCain Palin bumper sticker on her car; he carved a "B" on her cheeks, just for good measure. Well, your first mistake, Ashley, was thinking a black man would rob your ass with a knife. Ain't happening. The weapon of choice to rob poor innocent white women at the ATM machine, is a hand gun. Or, as we call them in the hood; an "Air Mike Tyson". And another thing, no self respecting black robber would see you at the ATM, and just take the $60 you just took out. No Ashley, he would tell your ass to take your card and clean out whatever you had in that bitch. And you being a little white girl, a long way from your Texas home, I am sure there would be a nice piece of change in that old Texas Savings & Loan account....

Folks, I am trying to write this story, but it's so hard. It's hard to type when you are rolling with laughter. This morning the conservative press was all over this story. Drudge led with it, the conservative websites were salivating all over themselves, and FAKE NEWS was about to go wall to wall with Ashley coverage. ("This presidential election campaign will, undoubtedly, go down in history of one of the worst. John McCain supporter, Ashley Todd, 20, was robbed by a knife-wielding man, who etched a “B” into her face, after he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the woman’s car. According to the police, Ms. Todd was using an ATM at Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street in Bloomfield just before 9 p.m. Wednesday when a man approached her, put a knife to her throat and demanded $60. What a scumbag." That, from the conservative blog, "Black Political Thought". Yes, you are right; "what a scum"? But the scum is Ashley Todd and her cohorts in the McCain campaign, who pushed this story to the national press. And this presidential campaign will go down in history as "one of the worst". Why? Because of the desperate race baiting, and politics of fear being practiced by republicans, not because of anything the Obama camp is doing) But a funny thing happened on the way to the town square with the pitch forks, and the rope. Seems Ashley was lying. Back in the day that wouldn't have mattered, they would have found a black man, any black man, and his ass would have become one of those "strange fruit" that Billie Holiday used to sing about.

Now the only strange person in this entire episode is Mr. Morton. Because he has yet to apologize to the nation for the behavior of his campaign worker, and his campaign. A campaign that pushed a story knowing that even if it were true, it would have played on the worst racial fears of the A-merry-can people, and would have contributed to division and even more anger among the masses. Shame on you John McCain. Shame on you republicans.

Now everyone is saying that poor Ashley needs help, that she might have a mental problem, that she might have been under a lot of pressure, and blah blah blah. Listen, Ashley Todd is no different than quite a few people in this country. She is an ignorant racist piece of shit. The fact that she acted out her sick demented delusions, only means that she actually thought that she could get away with it.

Ashley Todd worked for the College Republican National Committee, and her job was to recruit other young people to her cause. Gee, I wonder how successful she has been so far?
