POLITRICKS 2008: Super Delegates And Detention Centers…

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

chaingang

I learned a little something about the Democratic Party “Super Delegates” the other day. These dudes are essentially where the buck stops when the party decides to nominate their presidential candidate. The Super Delegates make up forty-percent(40%) of the total that a candidate needs in order to secure the party nod. You could theoretically have more delegates in your corner, but if you have less Super Delegates down with you then you get no soup. The Super Delegates system was inserted by the Democrats in order to stabilize the power of the party’s centrist, elitist establishment. Super Delegates are what seems to me to be the return to backroom deal making politricks.

Another interesting set of informational figures has passed through my inbox via my Editor-in-Chief, C.S. There hasn’t been too much rhetoric from the Democratic candidates on what they intend to do with America’s burgeoning prison industrial complex. The rapid manufacturing de-industrialization of America has proportionately filled the jails. Incidentally, more African Americans were imprisoned under the Clinton Administration than any previous two term presidency, including G DUBBZ. I wonder if MAYA ANGELOU realizes that when the caged bird sings it speaks the CLINTON’s names?

Take a look at the essay here on BlackAgendaReport.com via AlterNet.

2008’s Ten Worst Places to Be Black

What I would like to know is how the fuck Iowa locks up 13.59 Black people for every single white in the state, yet Blacks comprise only 2% of the states population?!? BARACK OBAAMA won the Iowa primary too. I guess voters in the hawkeye state were just happy to see a Black that they weren’t incarcerating.

Wisconsin is another state that locks up Blacks to the tune of over 10 to 1 over whites. So if you aren’t playing for the Green Bay Packers or attending Wisconsin U. your Black ass is going to the hoosegow. OBAAMA’s also got the delegate lead in Wisconsin as well.

Colorado and Kansas both lockup about 7 Blacks for every white which makes me think of these states as downright progressive when compared to Iowa. Lo and behold that OBAAMA has pwned the delegate count in both these states. In Colorado, OBAAMA leads CLINTON 37-17 and in Kansas his edge is slightly greater at 26-10. Colorado and Kansas are both typical red states that usually support conservative leaning social policies. I wonder how it has been that OBAAMA has translated into a viable candidate for these voters? Maybe the mainstream media’s description of these constituencies has been wrong all along. Kansas stand up. Even though you put your entire Black population in jail you’re still liberal minded voters.

CNN.com Election Center 2008 Primaries and Caucuses

What really blew my mind was how the BlackAgendaReport study knocks the doors off the idea that the southern states are worse for Blacks when they are within the justice system.

STATE – BLACK-WHITE DISPARITY
New Jersey – 13.15 to one
Connecticut – 12.77 to one
Minnesota – 12.63 to one
Pennsylvania – 10.53 to one
New York – 9.47 to one

Guess what? If you are going through the justice system in the New York tri-state area then your ass is fucked the fuck up. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh make Pennsylvania pretty bad for Blacks too. Plus Minnesota?!? Where the hell does Minnesota get all these Black people to incarcerate? Can you imagine a prison in Minnesota being filled with felons all dressed up like Prince? [ll].

You Know We Keep That White Girl by MAXINE

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

prince paul party

Editor’s note: If it is Black History Month then you know how Prince Paul is doing his thing at A.P.T. DP Dot Com’s very own evolutionary journalist MAXINE takes a hot line and makes it a hotter blog.

I was hood-winked! Bamboozled! Led astray! How could I, a so-called fan of Hip Hop, believe for one flying second that a rapper would actually tell a white girl to “get the fuck off the stage!”? Paris Hilton? Puh-leease. She’ll throw you out. Shit, she’ll throw your mother out. Fuck outta here.

Reportedly during a party at the Sundance Film Festival, Curtis and crew were performing and some blonde white chick resembling Paris Hilton (don’t they all resemble Paris Hilton?) jumped on stage to which Fif responded, “Get the fuck off my stage!” Hilton, crying, was then removed from the stage protesting that, “It’s my birthday party!” I should have known this story was too good to be true, besides, Paris and Fif have always been chummy, but maybe, just maybe someone was sick of her shit. Eh, wishful thinking young Max, wishful thinking.

paris fisty

According to Whoo Kid, it was “some security guard nigga” that got kicked off the stage. Reason? The “nigga kept picking shit up off the stage, pushing people back while we was performing.” What? First of all, I don’t give a fuck who is getting thrown off a stage at a fucking 50 Cent concert, but these cats kicked the nigga off the stage for doing his job? Security guard right? So he was um well, securing some shit. Anyway, Paris was right down front, doing that slightly altered dancing thing that cute white girls with blonde hair do at rap concerts.

This is not about Paris Hilton. This is not about 50 Cent. The real story does not surprise me at all, for ages white girls have been using Hip Hop to gain credibility in circles for which they were truly never built. Paris Hilton is a perfect case in point. This is more about the relationships between white women and Black men that go far beyond the “Rapture.”

The media and people who conduct sociology polls will have you believe that more relationships between Black men and white women in modern society shows progress in our desire to relinquish the chains that bound us to slavery. Some take the less kum-by-ya approach and believe that Frances Cress Welsing’s theory about the system of White Supremacy has a little more to do with it.

According to Welsing, the system attacks nine key areas of people’s activity. I know it’s Black History Month but some of you are just going to have to pick up a fucking book to learn the whole concept. I’m focusing on the most familiar part, sex. It is the positioning of a Black man’s ability to “force” himself on white females, leaving the blemish of coloring, which makes this type of relationship so feared in our society, then and today.

It is not an uncommon theory that Black men who date white women are doing so for that pleasurable stroking sensation to the ego that comes with bucking society’s rules and causing frenzy amongst those who really run this shit. Having a blonde on your arm for the company Christmas party is a plus too. We know that this is really a challenge to the white male dominance that has plagued Black men for a million years; you don’t win an arm wrestling match by reaching for your wallet right? The only way to win an arm wrestling match is by having the bigger arm!!! Make sense?

I am not saying that all white girls who run with Hip Hop cats are fucking these said Black men. I’m sure there are tons of white girls who are really into Hip Hop, the music, the lyricism, the lifestyle, sure a lot of them live on the upper West Side of Manhattan, or in Beverly Hills, or Coconut Grove (what up Fla?) but they enjoy the music and it has nothing at all to do with that Mandingo thing.

kim bush

In our present society, interracial relationships are normal and accepted, as they should be. People should be able to do whomever they like without judgment. I will say though that white girls in the music industry and in general are taking a few liberties that I’m not okay with. I know this is a throw back but, who in the fuck authorized Britney Spears to cover ” My Prerogative?” Back when that song was knocking, if a white girl was on the receiving end of Bobby’s pelvic thrusts, his ass would have been up a pole faster than Kim Kardashian could say “Bush.”

Yes, yes, yes. White men have been fucking Black women for a million years too but the unique relationships and exceptions between Black men and white women are more clearly defined by racist overtones that exist in our everyday society and are ignored until somebody’s ass gets killed. Remember that crazy ass cop who killed his white pregnant girlfriend in Ohio? When I saw their kid on TV, I remember thinking, “Oh shit, that’s a brother, he’s fucked.” Then I turned the damn channel.

I’m not trying to make an argument of the most oppressed. I mean, I’m sure that not all Asian women are hypersexualized and cold-blooded like the characters played by Lucy Liu, right? Right? I’m sure that not all Black women who have problems with their fathers and other Black men in their lives, can’t appreciate the love, affection and value in a Brother. Right? Right?

Eff Black History Month In The A!

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

slave

Eff it good and hard.

First of all, shit is the shortest ass month. Secondly, shit is colder than a hooker’s heart.

Black History Month needs to be in August with Harlem Week. August has 31 days and then we move right into the Labor Day holiday.

Black History is fucking world history. Don’t front now and act like you don’t recognize the mother of humanity. I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if the highest mason on the planet was a Black woman. She cast the rest of her lot down to maintain her hedgemony.

Think about that for a minute and consider the fact that the two most powerful women on this planet are both Black bitches. I say bitch with only the utmost respect, of course. Between CONDOLEEZA RICE and OPRAH WINFREY you have the two most socially, politically and therefore economically influential women on the planet. That is Black history. And that is why I tell you to eff Black history in the ‘A’.

I’m just sick and tired of Black History Month always high-lighting the same motherfuckers every year. Who’s on the committee this year? Somebody better put Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s name in the running for a humanitarian award or there is gonna be some shit. Martin Luther King Jr. can’t get that award EVERY year.

The reason I’m so sick is that we have old folks leading the charge towards equity and equality like they did in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Let these folks go die somewhere and stop acting all happy that it is Black History Month. America does not give a fuck about Black History.

America was built on the basis of stolen land and free labor. Not so much stolen I suppose since the Indians did give Manhattan away for several thousands blankets laced with smallpox. The whole free labor thing isn’t entirely correct either since the gentry and the landowners paid someone for the human chattel. I’m not about to sit here and give you a fucking history lesson on chattel slavery and it’s economic impact.

No Black people give a shit about history unless they can use it to squeeze some pennies out of a corporation. Ask these same Black people to donate some of their time to volunteer efforts in their own communities and see how many people answer the bell. Stop using your Blackness to only benefit yourselves. That’s what elitists do. I’d call you self-serving negroes elitists too, if you weren’t simply jigs on the make. You are no different from the pimps, pushers, peddlers and panhandlers that you shake your heads at.

Just because you get a W-2 and you submit a report to the IRS don’t get it twisted and think that you aren’t a hustler too. The real question that I posit to all of the Blackness that reads my shit is not HOW you got your ends, but what you did with them afterwards?

The Real War On Women Continues…

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

ap

And all I got was this lousy t-shirt!

The Black blogosphere a/k/a Jigs In Space have been thrashing about recently all because the gossip site BOSSIP gave a ‘Ho Sit Down’ to MAYA ANGELOU. I love me some MAYA ANGELOU, but she can get a ‘Ho Sit Down’ just like OPRAH can and even [gasp] RUBY DEE. Everyone can get it if they get caught slipping. This is the law of los internetos.

They should have never gave you niggers computers. What About Our Daughters has found their next Jena 6 moment by waging an all out war against BOSSIP. It was going to come to this eventually since What About Our Daughters is on some sensitive lesbian shit most times. I just thank GOD they haven’t targeted me for my disparaging drops on ALICIA KEYS.

So while people are still caught up with the war of words and phrases the real war on women rages onward unobstructed. Has anyone other than Dart Adams heard about the story of this teenager AMBER ABREU (no BOBBY)?

ap

AMBER ABREU – Arrested for inducing self-abortion
AMBER was questioned by Department of Social Services investigators who learned that she ingested some ulcer medication to induce a miscarriage. What happened instead is that she ended up delivering her baby stillborn. The government is looking at charging her with homicide now and not just the crazy crime of inducing an illegal miscarriage. I suppose there is a way to induce a legal miscarriage, but that requires a plane ticket to Europe or some shit.

ap

Too bad for AMBER that her mother was an immigrante and not JAMIE-LYNN SPEARS’ mother LYNN. The pop princesses mom has agreed to raise JAMIE-LYNN’s child so that JAMIE-LYNN might return to Hollywood to pursue her career as the wigbrusher to her elder sister BRITNEY’s trainwreckery.

The moral to this story is that woman STILL do not have the information or advocacy when it comes to their reproductive rights. The story of AMBER ABREU is more proof that my wife and I will be using a midwife when she gives birth to our kids. Hospitals are fucked the fuck up as it is without those fools switching babies and trying to get people to submit to RFID implants under their newborn’s skin.

So you think that a woman president is going to stem the tide of America’s anti-matriarchal legacy when her operatives are busy using racist undercurrents to curry support? Sounds to me like you need to wear the ‘Ho Sit Down’ trucker hat.
