SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!
Sunday, February 17th, 2008
I have yet to see anyone rocking a pair of JOHN McCAIN Air Max so this round goes to B.O.
Now I wouldn’t tell you to support someone JUST because his face was custom-painted onto a pair of Air Force 1’s. I don’t even fuck with AF-1’s like that, but while you niggas, ALL YOU NIGGERS, are out buying sneakers, iPods, sushi dinners and skinny jeans New York City has become Florida 2000 and Ohio 2004.
Unofficial Tallies in City Understated Obama Vote
I thought that this was the type shit that happens in “other” places.
Maybe BOB JOHNSON, MAYA ANGELOU and all the racist Asians and Latinos are just hedging their bets with the racehorse that owns the track?
POLITRICKS 2008: Super Delegates And Detention Centers…
Thursday, February 14th, 2008
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].
POLITRICKS 2008: California’s Primary Colors
Thursday, February 7th, 2008
While many pundits and talking heads have spun the Super Tuesday Democratic party primary into a tie between OBAAMA and CLINTON the truth is that OBAAMA’s Achilles Heel has been brought to the light.
Latinos and asian people HATE Blacks. Okay, so maybe hate is too strong a word. Latinos and asian peoples have trust concerns when African Americans are being regarded. I think this is the result of the programming that has been put in place for generations in order to help these people assimilate into American society more easily. It also shows me exactly how thoroughly convincing supremacist propaganda really is.
While everyone has used OBAAMA’s candidacy to focus on the historically dysfunctional relationship of Blacks and the white, what will ultimately determine the Democratic party’s nomination are the decisions of the yellows and the browns, or the tans, whatever. For all you Blacks that have been getting hyped with Obamania you might want to brush up on your espanol. A recent study conducted through Duke University said that nearly sixty percent of Latinos felt that Blacks were lazy and non hardworking, while the same survey described that only ten percent of white held that unfavorable view.
This means that if you live in New York City and you support OBAAMA you might want to tip your takeout delivery man a little extra something. That dude prah’lee isn’t voting but you might be surprised at the goodwill between Blacks and Mexicans you have just engendered. Asian people dislike Blacks at an even greater clip than Mexicans so bringing the newsstand owner over to OBAAMA’s camp might not even be worth your effort. I imagine that the mainland Chinese folks may be the only viable asian subgroup available to supporting OBAAMA. Strictly on the proxy that four chicken wings and pork fried rice will become an official White House menu item.
Its sadly ironic that as some people are finally making strides to judge others only by the content of their character there is a whole sector of our population that has been so completely programmed to perpetuate the tenets of supremacy that the day will come when the Ku Klux Klan is made up of non-whites. Word to MEChA, and I’m not talking about Godzilla.
POLITRICKS 2008: Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy…
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008
I just wanted to say that I think that Detroit Mayor KWAME KILPATRICK’s Chief of Staff CHRISTINE BEATTY was doing her job in its base(heh) definition.
Chief of Staff?
Uh, helloooooo?
She was supposed to be on top of his staff during working hours. This isn’t the type of work that you leave up to just an intern. I don’t know a damn thing about city hall in Detroit but you have to imagine that the young Black mayor has a large staff. [ll], of course.
Being Detroit, frankly I’m amazed that we aren’t talking about a scandal of corporal trading from the mayor’s office.
Too bad for Mrs. BEATTY since she stands to lose the most from this sordid affair. Her family is certainly in shambles as is her professional profile. And just when I thought liteskin’ded people were headed for a comeback to the forefront of Blackness. It looks like seven more years of Flava Flav.
The mayor still has a strong base of support in one of America’s most impoverished and downtrodden cities. KWAME KILPATRICK is obviously a charasmatic individual and at the end of the day he will be aiiight.
How many other mayors can take fashion advice from CHARLES OAKLEY?
