its a bird, it's a plane its a nigga wearing a cape!

I wish I was a super hero.  Even at this age I have delusions of saving people that far too often don't want to be saved.

Seriously, how many stupid people can one city have?  That's not even counting all the people with Confederate flags on their cars or worse, Mitt Romney bumper stickers.  Those people just need to be slapped.  There are people in this city that still think drive by shootings are viable options to settling disputes that started on facebook... Fucking FACEBOOK. 

Shooting these people would be counter productive and hypocritical but I do think someone should at least make an attempt to turn these people into useful members of society.  When that doesn't work, beat those assholes into submission.  Brutality worked during slavery and that had zero moral grounding.  I support routine beatings of people that obviously deserve it.

First example: Sexual predators.  Something ridiculous, like 1 in 4 women are sexually assaulted by the age of 21.  This is an old statistic and absolutely no one is outraged... except me.  It's infuriating to think that as a society that we have such an unacceptably high tolerance for rapist.  When I finally get my super powers flowing, be sure that epic ball stompings will be on the rise.  I can't stop someone from trying to rape again but I can shut a fool down for a couple of weeks.

Example two:  Accidental killers.  Yes, people still kill people on accident.  When word gets out that every time someone kills someone on accident, the next day they get their hands removed, I think drive bys will go down, don't you?

Three:  Drunk Drivers.  In light of one of my friends killing himself driving drunk and the fact that some of my favorite people in the world have DUIs I opt for preemption on this one.  I would need super hearing to hear people that cant quite get their keys in the ignition but I would do the real super friend thing and just snatch people's keys.  I've done it before.  It would just be more fun if I was super fast and wearing a cape.

Four:  The super rich.  I hate billionaires.  In a country where we have so many people starving, why the hell do we have so many people that have over a thousand million dollars?  That is injustice and as a super hero, my first move would to rob those people blind, Sorry Oprah.  I figure, if you cant live on 100 million dollars, then you aren't fit to live anyway, who needs ya?

Five:  Crackheads.  In the year 2012, are we still so uninformed about the effects of crack that people are still getting hooked on this shit?  Seriously, what year did New Jack City come out?  That isn't crack calling you, Pookie.  It's my foot and you all have a meeting real soon.

Six:  Woman beaters.  Anybody that beats up the weak for no reason needs to be hospitalized immediately.  Enough said.

While Batman and Superman are out fighting people that want to rule the world, who is going to save us from these idiots that ruin everyday life?  It will take an effort to confront reality that we, as a society, seem reluctant to confront.  I suppose if we refuse to call on each other we will always be waiting on a hero to save us.  I just wish that I was that person.

There's gold in them thar crates

Right now I’m listening to Camp Lo’s Uptown Saturday Night.   I don’t know how much play this album got around the nation when it dropped in 1997, but it didn’t get any love in Kansas City, but If you haven’t heard, it is the shit! I don’t know when it became the general consensus that rap music that didn’t come out in the last 6 months isn’t good but we have to remember hip-hop’s history of being the product of people that were willing to dig in those crates. Bargain bins at the used CD store, garage sales and amazon.com all have great CDs that you never heard.   Not to mention all of those CDs with 2 or 3 great songs on them. My point is that great music doesn’t have a shelf life.   Just because Kanye and Jay-Z keep coming out with hits doesn’t mean Reasonable Doubt and The College Dropout aren’t great CDs.   It’s just the opposite.   There has been a long time since somebody referred to a rap album that is universally referred to as a classic.   Think about it.   There have

I'm going to get myself killed

I’m not suicidal or anything.   I just tend to forget to protect myself.   I don’t even get scared when things get real.   I remember distinctly the first time I saw someone try to kill someone else. Me and the boys were partaking in our favorite pastime; playing football in the street.   It was around the time we were all in middle school so I was around 12 years old.   I had probably just passed the 100 lbs. mark.   It was like any other afternoon in the summer but suddenly some man came running up the street.   Something was off about him.   He was running too hard.   He wasn’t even running that fast but you could tell he was trying his heart out.   Just as he was turning the corner at the end of the block, we found out why.   Another man came up the hill behind us as we watched the running man go.   He wasn’t running either.   He had more of a brisk walk.   When he got far enough over the slope of the hill he raised his right arm, took aim and fired three shots while he was
Maury must be stopped. No one has profited more from Black people being ignorant than he.   I know the old saying: “Mama’s baby, Papa’s maybe.” But, contrary to popular belief, Black men love their children.   Everyone loves children.   Even if Black men realize that they aren’t bringing much to a household, they know that there is magic there.   That magic might be scary, like all magic, but it’s there.   There isn’t much difference between the love that develops between a man and a child with his D.N.A.   and a man that a child that he has raised. I am my father’s son.   No, I’m not light skinned or a hustler, but I laugh when I hear something funny.   I’ll sit on a porch and dink liquor all Saturday morning.   My toes are extraordinarily long (just like his).   I will see a beautiful woman and take notice just because I am a man and that’s what a man does.   My dad raised me well. When you see a Black man on Maury, you know he is going to be running from the responsibil
