Uncle Tom is Back!!!!

and that nigga must be stopped!

There has been a rash of Black Men in the last few years that have surged ahead in the fight to bring back right wing America.  It started with Clarence Thomas.  He scraped and bowed his way all the way to the Supreme Court.  We thought that was bad back in the day but oh no, it was only the beginning of the new black right wing.

I should back up.  Black America has been inherently Conservative for a long time.  The reason being is that the Black church, the community's traditional leader, is inherently conservative.  Most of our leaders have come from the church and so stand against things like homosexuality, pre-marital sex and the right to an abortion.

Luckily, most black people realized that right wing politics and conservative beliefs don't usually end well for the Black community.  By the mid '60s, the republican party had virtually abandoned Black voters so we migrated to the democratic party.  The dems are more liberal but a lot of that church goer thinking didn't just disappear, it just stayed out of the voting booth.

Fast forward to 2008.  There is one thing that really gets an uncle Tom going, that is a successful Black Man that doesn't lick boots on his way to the top.

The Biggest cause of the revival of uncle Tom is none other than Barack Obama.  The Herman Cains of this world saw this strong successful Black man and knew that all the yassa' bossing they did to make it was a complete mistake.  But, its easier to defend your position than it is to admit that you are wrong.

By accepting Conservative Christian values you are saying that the same oppressive system that has kept minorities down is the best route to go.  It completely dismisses all the atrocities that have been committed under the conservative Christian banner in all these years.  That is why Uncle Tom is so spurned in the Black community.  Not all Conservative Christians are Uncle Toms but all Uncle Toms are conservative Christians.  There is nothing wrong with SOME of Conservative America's values, but one of those values is to keep women, niggas and Mexicans in their place.  It isn't written that way but we all know its true.

I know people really get off on the interracial dating aspect of Uncle Toms these days but I really don't care about that.  Love is love.  Sex is sex and two consenting adults should be able to do what they feel.  Some Black me make the next step in to disliking Black women.  That is a whole different issue.  Any Black person that devalues brown skin is only affirming their self hatred.  Mush of that self hatred is rooted in slavery and the mainstream medias obsession with White beauty.  When Uncle Tom can't see the beauty in his face or his mother's face, therein lies a huge problem.

Being dark skinned, having nappy hair and big lips doesn't make you ugly.  Being ugly is not recognizing your own beauty as a human being.  Ugliness is failing to see the beauty in EVERYONE around you.  That is what Uncle Tom is missing and it scares me that he is making a big time come back.

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, y...

For my friends that considered suicide when having a nigga in your corner isn't enough

I remember wanting to die.  I didn't want to kill myself per se, I just wished that I could just go the fuck away.  I was a young, skinny teenager that wasn't looking forward to anything outside of video games.  What kind of life is that? But teenage life is always stupid.  When the lead actor is phoning it in, the play sucks.  That is teenage life in America.  I wish I could say that only teenagers go dark enough to want to die but we all know that is not true.  Life gets so much harder for people that dare to be an adult. As an adult, I get reminded of my younger years because shit still gets dark.  When I feel that kind of hopelessness, I still remember the fire that gets lit inside of me.  My ability to say "Fuck all of these people." is my super power.  It is a necessary tool for me.  When all the love I try to spread around begins to fail that flaming hatred for those that I let push me there always comes back.  Someh...

Code Cracked: LeBron

After LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers were swept by the Golden State Warriors my timeline was predictably filled with people arguing that LeBron couldn't possibly be the greatest of all time because he didn't fart rainbows or just will his team to victory. One of the most eyebrow raising post was of Michael Jordan celebrating another title.  I don't even remember what Mike was going on about but it made remember remember something about Mike that I had forgotten in all the Lebron comparisons: Mike was a complete asshole. Then, I got to thinking about Mike's heir (air) to the title of best in the game, Kobe.  Kobe wasn't brimming with personality but one thing that we should all agree on, is that he was also a fucking dick.  I specifically remember him ignoring Chris Rock on the sidelines like he was too focused to be funny. Then there's LeBron James.  Even when he has a team full of underachievers he has the nerve to pick up his purse and leave ra...
