RACIAL ROLE REVERSAL!

Walk in another man's shoes
You can try wearing his skin
Look through that man's eyes
You can start by looking in
When you get to know yourself
It will be like knowing him

Let It All Out!

I honestly feel about some people in the blogosphere, the same way Quagmire feels about Brian. I usually keep my thoughts to myself when it comes to my opinion of someones character on the internet, but sometimes you've got to let it all out and tell 'em how you really feel. So, instead of writing a long rant about my contempt for all the pretentious D-bags and their self important blogs, I'll let Quagmire tell it. LOL

Disclaimer I am of course not talking about every blogger on the internet (especially those whom I follow or those who follow me), just those who are so wrapped up in their preeminence on the internet.

As Secure As The President Of The United States?

I see the above picture (after knowing the story behind it) and can't help but wonder how safe is the First Black President of the United States really is. I mean, come on! With all the threats on this mans life, these "uninvited guests" just walked in like they were supposed to be there and the secret service just let them do it. It is simply disgraceful. I just don't want there to be a day when people will look back on this incident and see it as a sign of a failure in security that ultimately led to our President being harmed (or worse). WHITE HOUSE SECURITY DETAIL...YOU NEED TO DO BETTER!

MULLIGANS?

First off, let me just say that I don't care. What happen with Tiger Woods, his wife, and his SUV is completely his business. If the police are OK with his unavailability to talk with him, then I have no problems either. Whether it was a genuine automobile collision or the end result of a domestic dispute, it still is and should be a private matter. I’m only writing about this to talk about the right and wrong ways to conduct damage control if one is a celebrity in the midst of controversy or scandal.

That said, if Tiger is going to make up a story about why he crashed his vehicle into a fire hydrant and then a tree at two in the AM (with out even a drop of alcohol or drugs in his system at the time) surely he could come up with a better one than the original one he offered the police. Tiger, you are a celebrity and that means that your privacy is not going to be respected 9 times out of 10 (especially if the MSM and the gossip blogs smell a good story). So, if something happens to you that would pique the interest of the masses, it is best to be truthful about what happened and politely ask that everyone respect your privacy (not saying that it well happen, but you may have a better chance). Being disingenuous at the outset will only invite more “flies to the guano” as it were. Just saying…

P.S. If the domestic violence rumors are true, then Elin Woods is proof that no matter what race a woman is, it highly likely that she will go ape sh*# on you if she thinks you’re cheating on her.

Polanski: Fame And Justice

As I'm sure many of you already know, Roman Polanski was arrested this weekend in Switzerland and is to be extradited to the United States after being on the run abroad for over 30 years. For those of you who don't even know who Roman Polanski is, he is the famous director of films like "Rosemary's Baby" and "China Town" who plead guilty to unlawful sex with a minor (the details of which are much more disturbing than the euphemistic legal term implies) and then promptly fled the country to escape sentencing. He was living abroad for the past 30 years (still making movies and getting awards).


This goes to show that no matter how famous or talented one is, he/she is not above the universal truth that you reap what you sow. It may take a long time for you to catch that boomerang, but trust that it will happen (just ask Orenthal James). So folks like R. Kelly (you know it was you in that video) and Robert Blake shouldn't get to comfortable, because it will soon be harvest time.

Now there are some people in the media that are questioning whether the arrest of Polanski was fair, just, correct, or just plain nice (it’s not like he did something really bad like…dog fighting or something). My only response to Polanski supporters comes in the form of a question: What if it were your daughter that he drugged and raped over 30 years ago?

If and when Polanski get’s extradited to back to the United States to face the music, justice will have been finally served in my humble opinion.

I WAS...BOOOOOOOOORN IN THE U-S-AAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Some topics are just too ridiculous for me to even address directly. That's why it's good to know that a man like Jon Stewart is around to take on this type of tom foolery and the buffoons who endorse it.

I give you Jon Stewart on the Birther Movemnent:

"I don't want a nigger as my President!" is a statement that is less disingenuous and less stupid than "He's not a native born American citizen so he is not legally the President of the United States!" Just saying...

Black Is What The Cops Recognize As A Threat!

What does it mean to be black? Recently, the fellow UBJ sought to stir discussion on this very question on his blog. My response to this question was that black was not a color but a state of mind (or rather a state of being) that people of my “race” are constantly in (especially in America). I believe Dubois called it the double consciousness. This state of mind is a result of how one views himself combined with how others viewed him in a mixture which can seem like a poisonous tonic at times.

I have found that in America, how one is viewed tends to hold more weight than how that person views himself. This is especially true when we are talking about how those in the dominant culture are wont to classify those in the minority culture. A prime example of this is racial profiling perpetrated by the police against the black man. If you are ever wondering about your racial make up just run afoul of some cops with racist tendencies. You’ll be sure to find out definitively.

Case in point: This article shows that yet again in this “post-racial” America, it is the police that will let you know if you’re black or not. No matter what level of education and notoriety you have, if you are a black man in a well to do neighborhood or in a well to do car (or in both), you are likely to get harassed by authorities because you fit “the description”. If Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. can be seen and treated like a potential threat, Pookie from across the way has NO CHANCE!

This part really got me…

Friends of Gates said he was already in his home when police arrived. He showed his driver’s license and Harvard identification card, but was handcuffed and taken into police custody for several hours last Thursday, they said.

Maybe next time he’ll have a card showing his DNA admixture results, which detail that he actually has more European admixture than African admixture. I’m sure that will clear up any confusion. Pffffft
