I’m back in D.C. for the Stewart/Colbert event.

Howard University’s homecoming is also going down this weekend.

I’ve got the handycam on me so sit tight and let’s see what transpires in Chocolate City.

In 2012 D.C. is more like white chocolate with macadamia nuts [ll].

NYPD Has Got The Wrong Profile…

police stop

A report just released by a Columbia Law School professor shows that an overwhelming number of street stops in the New York Police Department’s ‘Stop and Frisk’ initiative have been unjustifiable. The report indicates that police had no mitigating factors for these stops other than the fact that the area they were patrolling is considered ‘high crime’. These areas are also mainly populated with Black folks.

It’s easy to say that the police are simply doing their jobs except we also get the news report that the murder rate in NYC is skyrocketing. So who are these police stopping and frisking since it obviously isn’t the bad guys who are hell bent on killing people? The police are busy frisking the kids with sagging pants. No Morehouse to that disclosure, just in case. Kids who wear their pants below their underwear are labeled as criminals meanwhile it’s the criminals who are keeping their pants up to hide their semi-automatic handguns.

I agree that it’s unfair to profile saggy pants kids as thugs just because you disagree with their sartorial style and their musical tastes especially when there has to be some murderers out there listening to the best of Kenny G’s jazz standards and wearing gabardine trousers. So as a public service for anyone out there reading DP.com and living in a Black, er ‘high crime’ neighborhood I am offering the five things you should do when stopped on the street by police…

1) Place Your Hands Where Their Eyes Can See (thank you Bussa Bus)
2) Speak slowly (retards are rarely arrested)
3) Where your pants above your waist (see #2)
4) Us the word ‘sir’ even when the officer is a female
5) Don’t be Black

Football Concussions Are Getting Ugly…

Monday, October 25th, 2010

The biggest scourge on professional sports isn’t steroids or human growth hormone abuse. It’s the damage that is done to player’s longterm health caused by brain injury. Concussions are incredibly dangerous and shockingly underreported. I think part of the problem is that our hyper-masculine culture won’t acknowledge perceived weakness inside of sports.

I remember how DONAVAN McNABB was lauded for playing a football game on a broken leg. His effort became heroic and legendary. When my Jets had KEN O’BRIEN under center he was chided for not being able to withstand the crushing hits from defensive linemen and linebackers.

The thing is this… Today’s athletes are fucking machines that are so well conditioned they can run laps around the players from yesteryear. Football players wear so much equipment that they are veritable weapons in polycarbonate armor. If the league REALLY wanted to protect players they would remove all the body armor and put flags in the offensive players waistbands.

There isn’t any other way to prevent these athletes from knocking themselves silly unless you remove the equipment that enables them to propel themselves thru the air with reckless abandon. The number of players suffering from concussions is getting ugly.

It’s time again for the players to just be plain ugly.

Morehouse Men: Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell…

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

morehouse

There are two things I don’t want to do as a real Black man. The first is go into the army. The second is go to college. At least if I went into the army they would pay me to follow the orders of some sycophant. You go to college and you have to pay them to give you assignments. How crazy is that? Like I’m gonna pay someone to give me odd jobs?

Sheeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiidddddd!

The reaction that Morehouse College’s president takes to the exposure of his student body [ll] are as inane as the military’s opinion of their soldiers who are homosexual. It’s incredulous to me that both institution’s want their populations repressed as a method for controlling them. Who the fux cares about the gheys other than the gheys? Don’t ask, don’t tell? Hell yeah, just don’t try to fingerbang my foxhole.

Politically powerful gheys are upset because they don’t want their class status revoked. This is why you can never equate ghey rights with those of the Black or the colored injuns. When you are a Black you are always a Black. When you are ghey you can rock the closet to keep your standing in society. Just look at Eddie Long. Who incidentally plays the Atlanta political scene kind of big.

Atlanta should just change their name to Freaklanta.

It has the same number of syllables.
