The Slave Catcher.

I love blogging for quite a few reasons. It allows me to vent and share my personal views with like minded people, and even people who disagree with me. It allows me to meet and interact with all types of new and interesting people who I would not have otherwise had the pleasure of ever knowing or hearing from. And most of all, it allows me to stay on top of things thanks to the people who read my site, comment, and exchange their ideas and their thoughts with me and with each other.

Well tonight I was especially proud of my field family, because they hipped me to something (or someone) I might not have heard about were it not for them.

Here is the deal: Today at a McCain Palin rally, it appears that a gentleman of color, stood up and begged Mr. Morton to go after his O ness. Please please please he begged, "don't let them get away with this",or something to that effect. Here is the You Tube link. (Please read this post before you go to the link, because after you watch it you will be sick to your stomach, and you won't be able to come back to the site.) Now you all know that I have my regular house and field Negroes, and I like to honor the lawn jockeys among us from time to time, but, believe it or not, I don't like to just label fellow Negroes without knowing a little about them or their history.

But this latest brotha....this sick, self hating, demented brotha, really has me wondering. He has taken this shit to a whole other level. This is beyond house Negro behavior, this shit is slave catching, plain and simple. You see a house Negro simply stayed in the house with massa, and he liked the house and everything in it. He would do everything to stay in the house, and would protect the house at all cost because he had a stake in it. It was where he lived, and it was where he found comfort. He would never speak against massa like the field Negroes, because he didn't want to risk losing all of that. But, even worse than the house Negro, was the slave catcher. This was the Negro who searched hardest to find us when we ran away. It was the slave catcher who the master would give the whip to tear into us when we stepped out of line. It was the slave catcher who ran right behind the blood hounds and in front of the master, when he thought one of us was hiding in the woods. It was the slave catcher who always did the master's most barbarous and sadistic deeds that even the master would not do. The slave catcher hated us even more than the master did. Who knows why? Maybe some sick demented shit in his past, maybe some psychological sickness that prevented him from wanting to be a part of something he has no control over. Or, a sick desire to be accepted by only those who didn't look like he does. Only the slave catcher and his shrink knows for sure.

This brotha (I wish I knew his name), is a slave catcher. Not a house Negro, not a Tom, not an Oreo; none of that. That would be too simplistic and trivial. No, this shit was much deeper than that. This brotha was wallowing in self hatred. The more those kla....I mean republicans cheered around him, the wetter his pants got. And when Mr. Morton hugged him, I actually thought I saw the guy close his eyes as if he had just experienced one incredible orgasm. I don't know, maybe he did. (Gee I guess it's true what they say about you black guys, they didn't have anything like this at the Hanoi Hilton....let me stop) And did you see the look on the faces of those people? It's as if that one black guy had given them their penance for all of their vile racist thoughts and actions.

"Thank you slave catcher, thank you. If you are one of them and you hate them, why can't we?"

If someone gets this brothas *name could you please pass it on to me? I have a bet with Mrs. Field that he is a struggling actor and just wanted to get his 15 minutes by any means necessary. Honestly, if it's just a hustle, and Mr. Morton's camp paid the guy, I would respect him more. At least he would have gotten paid for selling out like some of the other race pimps in modern day A-merry-ca. But somehow I doubt it. The slave catcher doesn't need pay. Just catching those runaway slaves is payment enough.

[*Thanks to the folks who comment here (Thanks "J") I have this clowns name. James Harris huh? Now if I can just get a nice pic. ]

Playing Hooky

It's Tuesday morning, and I am playing hooky from my real job so that I can finish this motion to file in time for my side hustle. Hopefully, the "man" won't send the "slave catchers" out to get me. The fact that I am here blogging instead of doing my damn work ought to tell you how this little exercise is working out. I mean I am trying to concentrate, but I can't. I have been up since six o'clock this morning, sat in my basement and watched a DVD of Akeelah and the Bee. (cried all through that bad boy; what's up with that?) And still, I can't settle in to do my work. Yes folks, I feel like my friend the house negro today. Then, like a fool, I have the radio on in the background. And of course, wouldn't you know, it's on one of those powerful AM stations that broadcasts conservative talk all day. (Hey, I gotta know what the enemy is thinking) So I have that back ground noise to contend with on top of my over-all malaise.

So anyway, I am listening but not listening -if you know what I mean- to conservative talk on the radio, and I can just imagine what they are saying:

~~It's Cal from Ocean City, go ahead Cal: Yeah, I just saw where they had that monument dedicated to King in our Capital yesterday. Did our tax dollars pay for that?
No Cal, fortunately, that was paid for by Martin Luther Coon's....I mean King's old fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, who made a proposal to have it built back in 1986. And they actually got their own private funding to do it. Of course, you know that the first black President signed the legislation permitting that travesty in 1996. So once again, we have Clinton to thank for pandering to blacks and further dividing our country. Yeah, well as long as our tax dollars didn't pay for it, but then I wonder why it has to be where it is, couldn't they put it in one of those cities where they have a Martin Luther King Drive or something? Hey, I agree with you Cal, it seems like a waste of space. Lord knows we have enough memorials in Washington. And to see Bush down there with those people like Jessie and Al Sharpton, no wonder we lost the mid-terms. Thanks for the call Cal. Who do we have next? Yeah Barbara from Bensalem, go ahead Barbara, you are on WKKK conservative talk radio. Yes hi, I was wondering when my husband and I will be able to go into the city of Philadelphia again, we are terrified of all the murders and the crime. What is wrong with those animals, they are just killing each other like flies. Well Barbara, this is what happens when you are soft on crime like these Judges in Philadelphia. They give those thugs a slap on the wrist, and they are back on the street in no time. I know, my God! I see where some students were shot near St. Josephs University, and one man was killed in Center City, it's just not safe any where anymore. Well this is the problem Barbara, the crime is getting closer to decent law abiding citizens like you and me. If it stays in their neighborhoods, I don't think it would be too bad, but when it starts affecting our every day life, well then we have a problem. Thanks for the call. We are going to take a break but when we come back, I want to talk about Rudy Gulliani running for President, and what it could mean for Italian Americans. Hey, they already have the Speaker of the House, a couple of justices on the Supreme Court, could a President be next? Stay tuned~~~~


OK, I am willing to try this again.- the work thing- That would mean no blogging, but here I am still typing away and posting on my blog. Yep, I am officially addicted to this sh*#. Or maybe there is just so much going on that needs to be addressed and written about that I can't concentrate on anything else until I get that off of my chest. Yeah, maybe that's it....damn it, I am hearing the radio again.

~~~Go ahead Vito. Yeah what's your problem with Italians? I will have you know that there is an Italian's signature on the Declaration of Independence, and we have contributed a lot to this country. Hell, we found this country. Have you ever heard of a little guy called Christopher Columbus? I see where people are talking about a black guy for President for crying out loud! Osama Obama or whatever his name is, and you mean to tell me we can't have an Italian? Hey, Vito, I hear you there big guy, but don't blame me. America just isn't ready for a President with a vowel at the end of his name if you know what I mean. Hey, I am half Italian, but I have to be honest; some guy in Alabama ain't voting for some guy named Gulliani for President. Don't for a minute think that those Soprano television shows and all those wise guy movies don't have an influence on people. Well it just seems like such a shame that people can be so closed minded and prejudiced. I know Vito, but this is what happens when you become the minority in your own country thanks to illegal immigration. You are right about that brother. Vito have a nice day. You too brother and keep telling it like it is. Tyrone in West Philadelphia, go ahead Tyrone you are on conservative talk radio. Yes, I just want to say, that I am republican, and I am very disappointed in black people for giving the democratic party ninety percent of our support. Tyrone are you African American? Yes I am. Well let me say this, you speak very well, and you articulate your point very well. I always love to hear an articulate African American like yourself. Well thank you, I try to pattern myself off the lives of great black republicans like Condi Rice, Thomas Sowell, and Ward Connerly. Well, those are all great people you mentioned, and they are great role models for you. Thank you. Tyrone, let me ask you; what do you think of affirmative action? I think it's terrible. We don't need anymore handouts, it's up to us as individuals to take responsibility for our own actions, and the consequences for them. I mean if you look around you, we have Oprah, Tiger Woods, and all these great African Americans; people embrace black people now, so there is no longer a need for laws forcing people to accept us. Well said Tyrone, we could use more blacks like you. Wasn't it Martin Luther King that said: "we should judge a man not by the color of his skin but the content of his character"? Yes, I believe it was~~~ CLICK

I know what the problem was; it was that damn radio. Now I think I can get off this blog and do some work.

I'm out!
