Charles Rangel Was Asleep At The Wheel…

rangel

CHARLES RANGEL is a typical representative in the Beltway. He has his hands in so much shit he doesn’t know if he’s coming or going. His biggest position was in being chairman of the Ways and Means committee. He was crucial in determining the rate of taxation for Wall Street corporations. Today he was forced to resign as the chairman of the House Ways and Means committee lest he drag down other Democrats into his ethics clusterfux.

RANGEL’s tireless efforts to keep the wealthy rolling in the bucks garnered him handsome junkets to the Caribbean. RANGEL has also presided over the transformation of Harlem and north Manhattan while he was the NY rep in the House of Reps. New York City will never be the same and I don’t think any politician other than SHIRLEY CHISHOLM had the mettle to defend the proletariat.

RANGEL can’t retire soon enough and if you live in RANGEL’s NY-15 district please vote for his challenger, VINCENT MORGAN during the Democratic primary in September. Between Harold Ford Jr., NY governor David Patterson and Now Rangel, 2010 has been a shitty year for jig politicos. VINCENT MORGAN can reverse the trend.

Wal-Mart Is Saving Detroit?!?

wal mart

I fux with Wal-Mart just like the rest of America does. The way I see it we are tumbling headfirst into the reality where the only industrial corporations that exist will be Wal-Mart, Universal Media Corp, McDonald’s and prisons (incidentally, Air Jordans will be manufactured at Folsom and Attica). It’s hard to test Wal-Mart’s corporate steez. They have this shit figured out. They make shit. They ship shit. You buy shit. IKEA might do it with hipper promotion, but Wal-mart does it 25 hours a day.

So why the fux is everybody all pissy because Wal-Mart has partnered with Detroit public schools in teaching kids how to work in their stores? Do you realize that unemployment in Detroit is nearly at 50%? That fact alone should have people scrambling into action. How can America let one of their former manufacturing centers go fallow? That’s disgusting B. Critics want to argue that kids are being taught the ideals of being subservient but I disagree since America primarily deals in service industry labor. These kids are getting a lesson in America 101.

In ten more years if you ain’t working for Wal-Mart then who the fux is your employer gonna be? In my eyes these kids from Detroit have a leg up on their future. If they really want to position themselves for the executive suites they will learn Mandarin.

DOBROYE UTRO BITCHES!

CRISPUS ATTUCKS WEEK: CRYSTAL GAIL MANGUM…

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

crystal gail mangum

Editor’s note: I’m gonna bring this theme back from last year where Combat Jack and I had some fun saluting the people who have kept alive the legacy of CRISPUS ATTUCKS.

Many of you may not know this but CRISPUS ATTUCKS was the first person killed in the Revolutionary War. ATTUCKS was also a Black man. That he is generally the only name most people remember when queried about the so-called ‘Boston Massacre‘ says that ATTUCKS was surely a pioneer, but a pioneer of what you might ask? CRISPUS ATTUCKS has pioneered a long line of Africans in America who have gotten their shit fucked the fuck up because they were fucking around with the white.

To lead off this years CRIPUS ATTUCKS memoriam we will look at the controversial story of CRYSTAL GAIL MANGUM.

MANGUM is the woman, who in 2006, accused several Duke University lacrosse players of raping her. MANGUM had been in the company of the lacrosse team after she was contracted to perform erotically at a private party in the residence of the players. The story ignited a firestorm of racial tensions across the nation. The history of America and the relationships of whites and Blacks is well-documented for those that seek the information. Those that prefer rumor and sensationalism are unfortunately the majority however and the facts of this case were obscured and blurred from the start.

MANGUM was a stripper. MANGUM was hired to strip. At some point in the evening MANGUM was approached for services other than dancing and the removal of her clothing. MANGUM refused those advances. What has never been publicized is that MANGUM was issued a benzodiazepine from the players in order to make her pliant to their sexual advances. MANGUM had been drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana prior and all of these substances ultimately made for a convoluted toxicology report.

While MANGUM had no DNA evidence from the lacrosse players within her vagina she did show evidence of vaginal and anal intercourse. Basically, MANGUM was given a date rape drug by the players and she was fucked in her pussy and in her ass with something other than a penis. This is why CRYSTAL GAIL MANGUM deserves the CRISPUS ATTUCKS salutation. If she had simply kept her ass in the Black Durham strip clubs this would have never happened. She went after the what she thought would be the easy paper from the white college kids without realizing that these kids were depraved from years of privileged programming.

Date rape drugs (benzodiazepines) are drugs normally used to treat anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, and several other conditions. Some benzodiazepines used to treat insomnia possess a powerful motor-impairing sedative, with strong amnestic properties. This is the reason that she can’t remember exactly what happened, but it all boils down to her decision to fux around with the white. Sure the Black money is slow money and may not always help you pay the rent on time. but the Blacks don’t even know how to pronounce Benzodiazepine much less how to administer it.

Unfortunately, CRYSTAL GAIL MANGUM had to learn the hard way (puns always intended) that hanging around with the white is the quickest way to getting your shit fucked the fuck up. Luckily for her she didn’t suffer the same fate as CRISPUS ATTUCKS, but then again, it’s still very possible that a musket was shoved up inside of her. We’ll never know.

R.I.P. CRISPUS ATTUCKS.

warsaw ghetto

Dedicated to all the ghetto children across the world…

A child is born with no state of mind
Blind to the ways of mankind
God is smiling on you but he’s frowning too
Because only God knows what you’ll go through
You’ll grow up in the ghetto, live as second rate
And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate
The places you play, and where you stay
Looks like one great big alleyway
You’ll admire all the number book takers
Thugs, pimps, pushers and the big money makers
Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens
And you wanna grow up to be just like them
Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers
Pickpockets, peddlers even panhandlers
You say: “I’m cool, and I’m no fool!”
But then you wind up dropping out of high school
Now you’re unemployed, all non-void
Walking around like you’re Pretty Boy Floyd
Turned stickup kid, look what you’ve done did
Got sent up for a eight year bid
Now your manhood is took and you’re a Maytag
Spend the next two years as an undercover fag
Being used and abused and serve like hell
‘Til one day you was found hung dead in a cell
It was plain to see that your life was lost
You was cold and your body swung back and forth
So now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
Of how you lived so fast and died so young

-Melvin Glover
