Interracial Relationships: I said I was going to talk about it, so here it is.

I mentioned I would blog about this issue in a previous post , so I figured I'd go in on it now.  First things first, I'd like to preface this by saying that I have nothing against interracial relationships, but here's what I don't like. Please watch this video closely.




See, here's why I don't like that video. It implies that Black men are some 3rd world anomaly that lives in the United States. And like people in 3rd world countries, they need a White savior to make it ALL better. That's okay tho. Let a White woman come into the equation like that. As soon as they have a disagreement, they will call the cops and cry assault and battery. And when it's time for him to tell his side of the story, she will go all partridge family on him so the cop will take her side.

Put away the pitchforks, and let me explain myself:   I live in an area where there are a lot of interracial relationships that are based on bullshit. For example, I keep hearing the following from that random White woman: She  wants to have a Black baby because, " They are soooooo cute", but she won't take the time to learn how to do that baby's hair, so the baby ends up looking all kinds of crazy, with candy, gum , lint q-tips and car keys all up in their head. It seems the baby is nothing more of a baby doll for them to carry, and they'll give that baby some jacked up ass name like "Demarkrious" or "Shalaterria." And when they see Black people, they think they have a kinship with them so they pop off with something ignorant. For example, I met this White lady whose husband was Sudanese. She made sure to tell me that they do want kids, but she hoped the kid has "normal hair". I asked her what did she mean by "normal hair." And she said, "You know, normal, like mine, and not a mess like his." All I could do is think, "Man, This bitch is ignorant. I really hope they don't have kids." Don't get me wrong, I could care less about who is sleeping with whom, but this fetishization type stuff has got to go clean out of the window. Stop cosigning fake love based on bullshit. Guess what will happen in that relationship if it's based on bullshit like that? What about the kids? How would they grow up? The kids will grow up with a god knows how many different mental issues based on how they grew up and what happened after the parents broke up. To raise kids in such a relationship based on stuff like that can be damaging and selfish as hell. That being said, people can GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT BULLSHIT.

Don't get me wrong. Love knows no boundaries, it's just that I get sick of seeing interracial relationships that are based on fetishes, or potential exotic conquests as if that person is only a potential check mark on someone's bucket list. Just because someone doesn't look like you doesn't mean they desire to be treated like a thing for one to possess or like their existence is to stroke your ego for the time being. This goes for all people, not just Black/White relationships.

All I'm saying is that if a person does decide to marry outside of their race, make sure it is for the right reason and they better be prepared to deal with everything that comes with it. And for gods sake, should you choose to have children, teach the kid about BOTH sides of their lineage and history. Ignoring it will set a lot of people up with a lot of unnecessary trouble. As much as people like to pretend, this really isn't a colorblind society. Stop playin' with that idea because it makes a whole lot of people look really stupid.

That is all.

Nikki Minaj's new video " Lookin Ass N!&&a" < The Rap Edition

I usually don't pay attention to a lot of mainstream stuff these days, but this was all over my feed. Apparently Nikki Minaj used the vigilant Malcolm X pic (where he's looking out the window with his gun in one hand and he's peeping through the curtains) for the title of her latest single.

I was very irritated about it to say the least. My first reaction was to say that she has definitely said some questionable stuff in the past (the Silly Hoe song comes to mind), so what do we expect to happen this time. I couldn't help but ask myself why things like this keep happening, especially when it comes to Black people. I think I figured out why. It's because we have been told to look toward the future and forget about the past. This has been drilled into the American psyche for many many years, and has been beaten over the heads of Blacks especially. This is why people fight so hard to look into the future and not really pay attention to the past. Its why people say, " It's (insert year here) and this mess is still going on?!" as if the calendar year really makes a difference when people have fought so hard to not learn from the past in the first place.  That being said, I'd like to bring your attention to the video attached to the image:

If I do say so myself, it's very provocative. She makes sure to show off her curves which definitely lend themselves to the title of the song. But here's where it gets interesting. After you finish looking at the video, turn the sound back on guys (jk) and listen to the lyrics.

My first reaction to listening to the lyrics was, "Shots fired".  She called out a looooot of guys in this video. It reminded me of that Boondocks scene where Riley was the king of his candy empire and he called out his competition. For those who don't remember, I'ma just let you watch it again.

If you can't see the videos, I'm just going to sum it up by saying I think she pulled a drive by on certain men.  It isn't like  me to revel in this sort of thing but after listening to her lyrics all I could do is 

I remember how TLC's Scrubs had men losing their minds, and women were dancing on their faces. I didn't pay the whole thing any mind. I just shrugged it off and continued on my way. For some reason, this feels a bit different.

Now that I've got that out of my system. I'm tryna find out what kind of dialogue this is going to bring. Will people see her lyrics for what they are?  Will people break the lyrics down address and examine them? And at the very least, who is going to come out with a song to counter that?  I hope the former happens before the latter, however something tells me the latter may happen first. We'll see.

Wait a minute, I didn't say I was going to go out and buy her album on the strength of her single though. I still stand on how I feel about her material in general, I'm just curious as to how this will turn out. Would it get buried or will something come out of it?

Zimmerman is Worthy of Being Called a Celebrity Now?! GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT!

I promised I'd stay off of social media for the month of February because all of the most stupid, racist stuff written or posted against Black people has a tendency to be blasted more than usual across the board in the United States. But I'm such a masochist, so I was hard headed and logged on anyway, fml, right? (-_-)   Anyway I'm sure you've already heard that Zimmerman is setting up a Celebrity boxing match, where any money he gets from viewers will be donated to charity, and DMX has agreed to fight him.  I've got a bunch of questions for dat ass. Here we go: 

Why aren't any White people speaking out against this mess? They need to check their boy because we all know that him using Hispanic as his ethnicity to absolve him of the killing of Trayvon was bullshit. That being said, why aren't so called Hispanics absolving themselves of this guy?

Where does Zimmerman get the idea that he is a celebrity?  The jackasses who look at this fool like that are a special breed to say the least. Him parading around like this is a huge slap in the face to all Black people. That being said, I hope Dmx destroys him and everything he exploited for ( to say this dude worked for anything is doing a huge disservice to all who work).  as of right now, DMX says he isn't ready yet and the thing isn't set in stone.  What if Zimmerman beats DMX's ass. I mean, DMX may not be in the best of condition to do so. Zimmerman is a bigger guy, which means he might be able to absorb more hits. DMX is looking a bit on the lean side to say the least. The impact alone could hurt him. But then again, just because somebody is bigger, doesn't mean they can fight (I mean, look at how Zimmerman did Trayvon, and Trayvon was a skinny kid). DMX says he's willing to break all and any rules to beat Zimerman, but talk is cheap.

Whatever happens, I won't be watching this mess or contributing to it in any way, shape or form. Whatever I find out would be just that. I just really hope that DMX smashes this dude. I mean, at least do it for all Blacks who have been killed by the guns of sissified White men with a hard on for killing them.  

If you'll excuse me, I'm off to go listen to Wise Intelligent's (the rapper from Poor Righteous Teachers) album titled "Killing U For Fun".  

Black History Month Post

I thought I wasn't going to post anything about Black history because we get the same old shit told to us each and every year. In fact, we get it so much that somebody came up with a Black History Bingo card and was generous enough to make a duplicate so you can play with a friend! Just print them out, get some pennies or something to mark off your "findings" and there you go! It's a fun game for everyone:

Here's hoping you have a brighter February.  Thanks to this card, I already am. :)  So far, I've got 3 of them :  fried chicken, "why can't we move on", and self segregation .  At this rate, by the end of the month, I may have a Bingo! [/sarcasm]
