Yep. It’s not just white cats that be stackin’ they cream, because even white CATS get that cream.

Race isn’t simply just a facet of western culture, race IS western culture.

DuBai = DuBroke…

dubai

The United Arab Emirate nation DuBai just took a major Thanksgiving turkey shit on the global economic market. The largest state owned business, DuBai World, is asking its creditors for a ‘timeout’ in order to restructure its multi-billion dollar debt repayment. They asked for a six month window. That’s two quarters in business parlance, a lifetime to regular people like us.

I’d love for CitiBank to give me a six month standstill on my mortgage agreement. I’d figure a way to pay them back even though I don’t produce gas like DuBai does. I mean, I produce gas, but just not the kind that anyone enjoys or can use. DuBai’s debt hiccup is prA’Li being fueled by the current low trading prices of crude oil. The United States wins when DuBai loses because international investors look to buy more dollars in an unstable marketplace.

The price of crude has fluxuated so much also because the United States, the world’s largest consumer for this shit has been showing signs of a downturn. For instance, I will be buying less gas in December while Chocolate Snowflake’s whip is in the shop. Although I might be ZipCar-ing around the town so that would negate my non-consumption, just my personal expense.

What does this debt repayment rollback mean for the rest of us here in the United States? It means that in the short-term our dollars are worth more than they were a day before. It doesn’t mean we have more buying power though which is the only thing that matters to most of us today I might imagine. I’d tell you to go out today and copp that 50″ plasma television anyhoo, but that is also why I am over $100K in debt (mortgage x defaulted car lease x credit cards).

My problem is that I don’t Dubai, I DO BUY and that is why my ass is broke. The sheikhs from DuBai are gonna have to curtail their spending as well. No more man-made tropical islands in the middle of the desert. No more towers taller than a kilometer.

Sheeeeit, no more silly tall hats and sexy white women.

The Boot Camp Clique Chronicles…

40 belows

^ Peace to the DP.com family

BCC – ‘I Ain’t Havin’ That’

I’m such a wild burnout that I forgot to tag the pic above for who sent it to me via the TWitters. That is a dope ass pic tho’. As you can see them in their full glory. The 40 Below is the most hardbody Hip-Hop shoe of all time. Word to Das-EFX and Bishop from ‘Juice’. Also as of recent times Timberland has seen their stock on the streets find a little upswing with all the famous cRappers rocking the classic 6″ boot.

My Timberland collection is down from what used to be almost seventy pairs to now a humbling 35-40. I am holding something in my back pocket however which will add another pair to that number. Timberland issued to me a product voucher late last year that I still haven’t excised. I returned a pair of black leather hard bottom penny loafers that I managed to split the sole of. As usual Timberland stands behind their products 1000% and they mailed a voucher to me instructing me to call their customer service division so that my order could be fulfilled.

But which shoe to copp has been my dilemma. Just recently I was in an A.J. Wright with Chocolate Snowflake and I happened upon a pair of the ‘Beef n Broccoli’ 3/4 field boots for $50. C.S. dissuaded me from buying them (she is so smart) because she told me I could prA’li find them for $40 if I wanted them so badly. She was right. Lord knows I don’t even have money to spend on sneakers let alone winter boots. That’s when I decided to dig out the product voucher so I could at least give my brain the temporary endorphins that come with consumerism.

Come and do some internets window shopping with me…

hikers

White Ledge Mid Hiker – $85
I like these hikers and they are a smart choice recession pricepoint for only $85. The outsole is equipped with Timberland’s proprietary BSFP system which stands for Brake-Support-Flex-Propel and is a dynamic feature for anyone who likes running naked in the woods (that is a DP.com in-house joke that you just had to be here to see).

field boots

Field Boot – $130
The classic ‘Beef-n-Brocs’ will forever be in style. They are lightweight and super-rugged. I equate these joints to being a bulletproof sneaker. As a matter of fact, thanks in part to the Boot Camp Clik there are kids in Brownsville wearing these joints on the basketball court. The most recent feature these shoes have been equipped with is a fiberglass shank in the forefoot replacing the steeltoe and making these boots more airport friendly.

gores

Classic Trekker Chukka – $155
These are the type of boots you buy when you aren’t buying boots again for another twenty years. All the engineers at my office own these joints and they have been wearing them for the twelve years I have worked for the agency. They wear these boots from November until April. The boots are waterproofed, lined with Gore-Tex and the outsole doesn’t go away. I have a pair of these in olive green that I came up on at Filene’s way back in the day. I keep them fresh enough so that when I have children they will become my ‘dad’ shoes.

Front Country Winter Extreme Boot – $130
Do you see these joints? This is legendary Timberland material. Before the Vasque, Merrell or ACG boots there was the invincible, indestructrible, iconic Timberland Iditarod series of boots. These are the shoes that dogmushers wear during that grueling artic trek. I’m blown away at the pricepoint for a shoe that is as fully loaded as this one is. Gore-Tex lining and a Vibram outsole make this shoe the Maybach of boots. It isn’t just waterproof, this boot is bombproof. I’ll be ordering these today.

Who’s Accusing ACORN?

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

BARACK OBAAMA will forever be associated with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. If it weren’t for the activated poor people and their middle class mouthpieces along with the labor unions across the country he would never have been elected president. Okay, so we have that established. Moving on…

ACORN has been active here in New York City regarding the development of the Atlantic Yards project. Without their noise and activism that project might have been shoehorned into existence during the fake real estate boom that was going down several years ago. I appreciate the collective ACORN machinery that pushed ideas like ‘living wages’ into the political lexicon. I’m sure there are fractions of ACORN that are corrupt because there is too much power contained in politricks to keep everyone clean and correct.

The latest issue is that ACORN stole the election for OBAAMA by being complicit in voter registration fraud. ACORN is the fall guy in this story just like OBAAMA is the fall guy for the broken U.S. economy. Didn’t we learn during G Dubbz 1 that the electoral college is the group that actually selects the president? The idea that ACORN as a collective was able to mobilize voters is plausible, but the notion that ACORN has ascended into the evil empire of liberalism is farfetched.

The people that ACORN counts as members and volunteers are the working poor. World domination isn’t a priority for these people. Feeding their family is. While we all rail against ACORN and the neo-cons and the Decepticons we are fast approaching a decade of war being waged in Afghanistan with no end in sight. This has been the issue that we are not debating. American troops have to leave the region. No matter which president is sitting in the White House we keep sending more men and women into the desert for the devil knows what. I’d like to hear what SEAN HANNITY and LOU DOBBS have to say about that…

“Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its mighty waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has and it never will.”
Frederick Douglass in a speech in Rochester, NY

Look At The Mess You Made…

For the last decade there has been a constant surge of propaganda aimed at demonizing Muslim peoples and culture. This all came to a magnificent crest under the G-Dubbz administration wen we all but blamed Muslims for everything sideways in this country. If someone were to look just a little deeper you could see that we all share a fondness for goat. Muslims like to eat goat on their holidays and we like to make scapegoats.

Capitalism will sometimes trip over its own feet in its rush to exploit someone’s culture for monetary gain. The lone electronics selling mega-giant Best Buy created some Black Friday ads bigging up the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha (c’mon and admit that you thought it said Al Queda, I did) and now the heartland of America is all bent out of shape because they think the terrorists are selling the good people flat screen televisions and iPods.

Nevermind that NOTHING you will buy on Black Friday will be made in America, unless you are copping something made from prison labor. Americans have had the morals and their priorities mixed up from the word go. The Muslim has become the trendy boogeyman alongside the country’s stalwart African America males and now anything that sounds remotely foreign (read: un-midwestern) has become offensive, or un-patriotic, or worse, un-American.

You made this mess starting with your mainstream media that uses all of its powers in imagery wizardry to describe to you angry, volatile people. This is on purpose and you have bought into this likeness over the past twenty years at least since the days of Ayotollah Khomeni. These images are presented to you at such a rate, along with various and inconsistent name mispellings to give you the impression that many of these angry people exist and are actively working towards your disenfranchisement.

Meanwhile, the Federal reserve is looted right under your nose. Our children’s children are conscripted to lifelong debt or worse, war with the effin’ robots.

All of this because of what?

Land?

Energy?

Power?

Nope…

Fear.
