What the Fuck, People?

I used to write about politics a lot.  I had to make the conscious decision to stop because it was just so negative.  We are talking six or seven years ago when congress was just regular useless.  I thought it was bad then nut noooooooo.  It turns out that the shit just started storming.

How did we get here?  Donald Fucking Trump went from firing Gary Busey to picking 2 Supreme Court Justices.  That's completely ridiculous, yet, here we are.

V for Vendetta is one of my favorite movies and in one of the opening scenes he railed the entire nation of England for shutting the fuck up while things went completely to shit.  Even though I've watched that part 100 times, here I sat, watching the world burn.

This is how it happens.  The indifference of good men and all that shit.

It's so seductive.  Just keep your head down and keep plugging away.  Then you look up one day and the government is kidnapping children.  Then you log on to twitter and Stacey Dash is defending that shit.  Then you're wondering how somebody with an ass that perfect could be so horrible.  What the fuck, guys?

 As angry as I am with ICE agents establishing a reign of terror, I'm more mad at myself for letting these fucks rip families apart in my name.  They say they are doing this for me and won't listen when I say to fucking stop.

Yeah, I didn't vote for 45.  I don't support Racism Smurf's policies but the one thing that I can do is just say something... and I haven't.

I started blogging because I wanted to use my voice and I just plain gave it away.  That shit is over.  I didn't want to step on the toes of friends and relatives and be divisive but you know what.  Fuck their toes.  This shit is unacceptable and I have to say so before the storm troopers come to get me.

If I'm to be silent, let it be because my throat is cut, not because I held my tongue.

Do you know why the police tell you that you have the right to remain silent?  Because you also have the right not to be.  If the things that I say can be used against me, let it be.  I would rather my words hurt me rather than my silence.

That being said, let's dish.  Our government is kidnapping children.  Affirmative action is dying with the sole purpose of supporting white supremacy.  Women are losing their reproductive rights and LeBron plays for the fucking Lakers.  Shit is stupid.

So let's go.  I'm gonna start talking about your dumb ass president again.  I'm going to start fights on Facebook and spend Saturday mornings arguing with MAGA hats on twitter.  Discussion is the cornerstone of democracy and I live in a place that would rather I didn't be free but fuck 'em.

These bitches ain't got me yet.

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...

2016 is Godspeak for "Do Better"

Time flies at the same rate in every moment.  We know this because, you know, watches and shit.  This year seemed to sort of drag on but I am well aware it wasn't time's fault.  It was mine.  There was totally not enough money, sex and drugs to keep my mind occupied.  I guess my resolution for next year is to do better.  Here go how: Stop Smoking Again: Yes, I'm still smoking Black and Milds.  Yes I know It's 1999, yes I know about cancer.  It is the source of much self hate and I tell myself I should stop...until I run out.  I'll do better; pinky swear it. Drink Better Liquor: I know you are thinking "Why don't you stop drinking?"  The answer to that is "Because I'm a fucking adult."  That being said, my stomach is 15 years in to this drank life and it has no room for McRibs, dry turkey or vodka with sugar in it.  It's Absolut and better for me in the 2016.  Good thing I'm saving all that Black and Mild mo...

Our Fault

Anyhoo, later in the day, before I went the bed I did a little channel surfing and lo and behold who did I see?  Chris fucking Brown on Jimmy Fallon. Somehow we all seemed to have forgotten the fact that this dude beat the shit out of Rhianna.  This wasn’t just some girl with a bloody swollen face.  This wasn’t a groupie or some chick that got lippy in the line at Burger King.  This was Rhianna!  She was a beautiful young woman with a great career in a high profile relationship with this dude and there she was, looking like Rodney King. What was almost worse than the bruises on her face was the look of shame she had in the photos.  It was the look of defeat. I know Rhianna has claimed to have moved on but here’s the thing.  Abused/abuser dynamics are a situation most of us do not understand fully.  What I do know is that the abused often stay because they feel so devalued that maybe they can’t see a better situation so it is up to all...
