Shouts go out today to Zwarte Piet as the Dutch would call him. Zwarte Piet a/k/a Black Pete is the Black dude that used to roll thick with this old cat named Sinter Klaas and during Festivus would be kidnapping all the bad boys and bad girls(no Diddy and Cassie) and selling them off as chattel.
For Christmas Zwarte Piet would give presents to the good kids, but the naughty ones would get spirited away and presumably raped by Sinter Klaas, who we all know was a pedophile, and a peep freak for watching little girls when they went potty.
This fairytale is partly how the Dutch maintained their hegemony on supremacy by packaging racism and terrorism to little children. Imagine how some of these same Dutch kids feel the first time they see a real live Black person?
Can you blame these Dutch niggas for trying to kill Blacks when they get older? Who the hell wants to be stuffed in a duffle bag on some Brothers Grimm shit and cooked and eaten?
The Black boogeyman is supremacy’s perpetual form of terrorism and when you burn this image into a child’s brain it will remain with them forever.

Merry Christmas bitches!?! |
The brothers are primed for blast off this week. Rock-It Science is the long anticipated debut album from Timeless Truth. Forget about the features from family members like Meyhem Lauren, Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, Sean Price and Large Professor and just fall into the music.
Timeless Truth is the movement which first informed me about Action Bronson and Meyhem Lauren. Timeless Truth is the movement that trumpeted the lyrical prowess of Roc Marciano to me before I got to experience it for myself. I promise y’all that Rock-It Science is gonna be one of the albums you thank your stars and garters is still being made. Hip-Hop. It. Does. Not. Stop.
Say what you want to about Hebrews but give us our props for having the most kick azz holiday stretch of any of the major religions. Okay, okay, the coptic Christians that go from Christmas to Three Kings Day have two weeks of balling out, but Hanukkah is still the bomb because we get to use fire.
Our holiday is the celebration of pushing back the wigs of the Greek soldiers that were occupying the holy land. Back in those days the Greeks had a whole military industrial complex to die for (literally). They had a navy and an army and they were into shit like coming up into your living room and taking your television and your goats and the what not.
My great-great-great grandfathers were tired of the Greeks beasting out their property so they made some of the occupiers lean back. This started a whole war thing. Since the Greeks had like all the good tanks and helicopters my people would have to throw their rocks and then run into the mountains to hide out. The Greeks were hating on my folks bigtime by calling them militants, terrorists, insurgents and all kinds of other misnomers. It was a bad scene. Many Hebrews were killed and enslaved.
The tide turned after the Greeks ran up inside the temple in Jehrusalem and started wildin’ out. The Greeks tried to make the temple a sanctuary for their homie Zeus and that is when all hell broke loose. Everyone in the ‘hood flipped out on the Greeks including all the old folks. With their rocks and sticks they pushed the Greeks back into the sea.
The temple was in shambles, but my peoples decided to make a big party out of the repairing of the house of the Lord. It took them only one quarter cycle of the moon to complete the renovations, but we have been arguing about who did the most work ever since.
Timberland’s 40th anniversary will be next year and I’m getting myself all hyped in advance by visiting some of the classic stores where I’ve bought Timbs over the years. When I worked for the architects on 14th Street I used to visit Paragon and David Z like I was still in high school.
I studied boot releases back then like heads study sneaker releases nowadays. As you might imagine, the winter WAS the season to put your sneakers back in the box and put on your chukkas or better still, your Forty’s. I can’t wait to see what the 4oth anniversary 40 Below looks like. But I digress…
Walk with me los Internetos as I take a look at what’s hot in the streets and fresh for your feets…
Don’t sleep on Burlington Coat Factory. They have the distressed leather classic contractor boots (with Anti-Fatigue insoles) for only $80. Plus they have the Vibram outsole Timberland Cadion hikers for the cheap as well.
My next stop was the venerable Paragon Sporting Goods at the northwest end on Union Square. Paragon is simply a halcyon spot of freshness since I ever stepped foot in that space. They sport all kinds of official gear for outdoorsmen or whatever activity floats your motorboat. I bought my first Tag-Heuer timepiece at Paragon. More importantly I bought my first pair of Forty Belows from Paragon.
The Timberland section at Paragon was pretty basic for what is available in most shops and even in the Timberland flagship locations, but I did see a boot I HAVE to put in my archives. The Pathrock High is a clean looking hiker with a rugged, aggressive outsole. I also like the Timberland shitkickers for when I want to go with a refined shitkicking look. Who knew Vasque was still making boots? What the FUX are those?!?
Next I floated thru David Z which is one of my honeycomb hideouts for New Balance swag on clearance. David Z also kept it 100 with the Timberland stock too. They were a good spot to copp some Beef and Broc field boots in a pinch. They have some styles on sale as we speak…
Oh snap! The suede 7-eye moccasins for $50? Copped. For the second time. LOL. I’m such an addict. David Z even had their Wallabees on sale for a nice price. I’m prA’Li going back to score a pair of low cut moccasins for $40.
40 is the magic number. Get hype with me for Timberland’s 40th.
