Stevie and the Queen

It’s bad enough that I have to watch English People dancing off beat to Stevie, which for African Americans is blasphemy, but he is there celebrating the Queen of England’s 60th anniversary on the throne.

Now, I like Queen Elizabeth.  I really do.  She seems to be a sweet old lady and the class act of that family.  However, how am I supposed to glorify the descendants of the most evil regime the world has ever known?  I find it ridiculous that these people have slightly less money than the lady that created Harry Potter.  I don’t even mess with Harry Potter but I know that shit is big.  All the imperials brought us is oppression and greed and they haven’t been able to do that in the last 50 years or so yet they are still banking off their run at ruling the world.
The only thing that makes the English empire look good is that they are in driving distance to Germany.  Like a lot of hood niggas, the first thing I think of when I think about Europe is WWII.  The first thing I think about WWII is Nazis.  I’ll give the English some credit, they were in to screwing everybody, not that singularly directed evil that the Nazis had going on.  It gives them right to claim that they weren’t out for any evil, they just happened to be the world’s most prolific jackasses.

Maybe I am a little biased.  I’m Black, American and a little Irish.  There are a few brothers in jolly old England (Shout out to my big brother and Ashley Cole) but it isn’t exactly a place brothers are known for hanging.  As an American, not only did we have to fight to get the English off our backs, but we picked up all of her bad habits afterwards.  The whole manifest destiny, killing Indians and enslaving Negroes period, which defined early America, we learned from our mother, the good old U.K.  Then, there’s the land they set aside for killing, raping and stealing from that they would come to call Ireland.

I guess it is easy for some people to accept the idea of royalty.  I lends to the idea of a God given hierarchy, which is what most racism is based on.  The thought of someone being born of higher quality than another seems intuitively off to me but to think that a family full of inbreeds is the pinnacle of society, we should all either kill ourselves or find a way to keep these super people under wraps. 

But we’re not talking about super people.  We’re talking about the descendants and profiteers of a heartless empire.  Let’s not pretend they are great because they stayed rich and marry not so distant cousins.  And for crying out loud, don’t tell Stevie how terribly stuffy they looked while he was jamming.

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 ass...
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...

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...
