wiggers

From Beavis & Butthead to Jackass and the Jersey Shore, MTV is becoming the racial reverse of Black Entertainment Television. It’s now the Wigger News Network. Wigger would be the wrong description tho’ since niggers come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

MTV proves my point in their latest mockumentary The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. The film follows the travails of a family of white (incidentally bearing the surname White) as they stumble across the Appalachian region of West Virginia. The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia invokes a live action version of the ‘Squidbillies’ cartoon that I love so much.

I love the Squidbillies because it is purposely outrageous and it is a cartoon. I’m never as fond as human caricatures. No matter their skin complexion.

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

Police Brutality Isn’t Just For Poor Blacks…

Remember when only the poor Black would get shot up by the police? Shout out to Rudolph Giuliani. Those were the good ol’ days of police brutality. Those murders would be swept under the rug easily because frankly, who cares about poor Blacks? Police brutality has become more problematic recently because now working class and even middle class Blacks are having their wigs pushed back. That’s Hip-Hop jargon for being murdered.

Is Hip-Hop to blame for law enforcement officer’s attitudes towards young Black males? I suppose Hip-Hop could be the scapegoat if you were lazy and didn’t feel like truly examining the attitudes that these armed officers have with their unarmed victims. For crying out loud, Oscar Grant was in handcuffs and in a prone position when he was murdered by the police.

Like Sean Bell, the latest victim Danroy Henry Jr. was in his vehicle when his life was taken. The earliest news reports claimed that he was using his vehicle as a weapon against officers, but the passengers in the car state otherwise. This was the mistake of the cops by not killing everyone in the car. Three Black males in a vehicle is normally grounds for three funerals. Let God and the lawyers sort out the details is the standard operating procedure.

So now that even Black male college students aren’t immune from the sting of the police state where can a young Black man go to find some equity and peace of mind in the great land called America?

Apparently only in a cemetery.

Telling Lies To My Vision…

tv addict

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.
