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].

Hey! Are you a Facebook friend of the Internets Celebrities?
What are ya’ waiting on?!?
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
You don’t realize how many people are addicted to television until that shit gets taken away from them. People in New York and New Jersey were shitting themselves yesterday because the Fox affiliates programming had been ‘de-licensed’ from their local cable television provider.
Its easy to posit News Corporation, the owner of Fox networks and their affiliates for making their demands too great to the cable companies that license their content. Fox also went the grimy route by suspended their internet sites from those using the cable television provider’s browsers.
For someone like myself who is immersed in the interconnected networks all this chicanery means very little to me. There’s a stream of torrents for me to catch the wave with if I really needed to view Fox’ programming. But I didn’t. And I survived. I would have loved to watch professional football or the MLB playoffs but instead I went for a walk in Central Park.
Instead of playing the ‘Who Shot John’ game with the networks or the cable TV provider I turned them both off.
Anyone know who won yesterday?
I did.
Barack Obaama is NOT going to be that dude.
You can keep waiting for him to rip off his shirt and display an ‘S’ on the shirt underneath, but if, and when that happens the symbol will prA’li look more like this – ‘$‘
