Jackiepalooza

That’s a bowlegged stance on Jackie Robinson’s legacy, and I could NOT agree more.

The MLK reference struck me. I was in Atlanta for the Final Four, and on that rainy Palm Sunday between the semis and final, I took in the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site. Wow. Yeah, I’ve enjoyed a Monday off during every January I can remember, and yeah, I watched slide-shows in elementary school about the bus boycott, but you don’t quite ‘get it’ until you take it in for yourself. After going through the museum I walked across the street to the old Ebenezer Baptist Church, King’s childhood church and the one he later preached in. The place was pretty much empty. I sat in a pew for a while and took in a recorded sermon which King gave in that very room years ago. That experience was worth a lot more than a day off work in January.

Let’s reign in Jackiepalooza. Here, less is more.

HIP-HOCRACY

Lyrics from a 2001 song by Ludacris. Read it, then think about Don Imus's 3 word mouthfart. Hip-hocracy.

Hooooooooo (Ho)

Youza Hoooooo (Ho)

Youza Hoooooo (Ho)

I said that youza hooooo (Ho)

(Repeat 1x)

(Ludacris)

You doin ho activities

With ho tendencies

Hos are your friends, hoes are your enemies

With ho energy to do whacha do

Blew whacha blew

Screw whacha screw

Yall professional like DJ Clue, pullin on my coat tail

an why do you think you take a ho to a hotel?

Hotel everybody, even the mayor

Reach up in tha sky for tha hozone laya

Come on playa once a ho always

And hos never close they open like hallways

An heres a ho cake for you whole ho crew

an everybody wants some cuz hoes gotta eat too

(chorus x2)

(Ludacris)

Cant turn a ho into a housewife

Hos dont act right

Theres hos on a mission, an hoes on a crackpipe

Hey ho how ya doin, where ya been?

Prolly doin ho stuff cuz there you ho again

Its a ho wide world, that we livin in

feline, feminine, fantastical, women

Not all, just some

You ho who you are

Theres hoes in tha room, theres hoes in tha car

theres hoes on stage, theres hoes by tha bar

hos by near, an hos by far

Ho! (But can i getta ride?!)

NO! (Cmon, nigga why?!)

Cuz youza

(chorus 2x)

[these lyrics are found on http://www.songlyrics.com]

(Ludacris)

You gotta run in your pantyhos

Even your daddy knows

HIP-HOCRISY

There, spelled my made-up word right. You know it's funny and true. This new trend from the black community is a little frightening. It seems that their motto is, "Don't do as we say, or as we do, because only we're allowed to!"

That isn't what Martin Luther King Jr. fought for. Content of Sharpton's character?? I'll decide when he apologizes (or doesn't) for the Duke fiasco.

I like Don Imus, and I'm allowed to! I like Billy Cunningham too!

And I don't like censorship. Political Correctness is a snowball picking up serious steam as it barrels down the mountain. Better get the fuck out of the way or your life is over.

Why is nappy racist? Nappy (adj) is defined as 'kinky'

EVERY black person I know will admit that their hair is 'kinkier' than mine. EVERY ONE. And no black person that has ever met me will call me anything other than a completely tolerant, educated, compassionate human being.

Back to Martin Luther King. Do you think he would have been at the forefront of this lynchmob?? Fuck no. Let's examine the content of Al Sharpton's character. Really. Or Jesse Jackson (Mr. I'm going to spiritually help you through this Mr. Clinton as I fuck someone who isn't my wife, maybe in Hymietown.)

All y'all are morons if you think any differently. But I will defend, until my death, your right to speak your mind. Please extend that federally protected courtesy to Don Imus, and hell, and to me as well.

This ultrafresh social activism is BAD for America. We tar and feather innocent Dukies because of race, and we tar, feather and fire Don Imus for a mouthfart. The message I'm receiving from the Black Community is VILE: "Don't do as we say, or as we do, because only we're allowed to... nigga"

Clever, but...

It's the elite's excess cosumuption and ever eroding moral compass that piss off the Islamists so much.

If you need me, I'll be getting my hands dirty like a man. Hey Bill: grow.

Hmm

Lets take this slowly. I'm not ready to blame VT's administration for 30 deaths.

Thoughts

People should respect their partners, their children and themselves. This would make the world a better place. Instead, weak godless humans ruin their partners, their children and themselves in the name of Lord Orgasm.

I pity thee fools.

Take pride in your character. Why not?
