George Carlin: On Politics, Politicians & the Public
I miss this man. One of the last Truth Sayers.
Politicians suck because the American Public sucks.
Americans are greedy, selfish, and ridiculously short-sighted.
For your willingness to throw away your morals and values for bullshit.... you deserve everything bad that happens to you.
See you on November 5th.

Reason 632 why I can not and will not support Barack Obama
50 million people talking about the speech.
Annoying as hell that I had to listen to the soundbytes EVERYWHERE.
Dropped by my cafe, Coffee With a Beat, hung out with the OGs for a little while, and they were really trying to put it on me. So much so that I had to promise to download and watch the speech.
So I did.
And I can say after watching it, I can understand it. I get it. It makes sense to me.
These same people acting a GOT-damn fool over this empty rhetoric are the same ones jumping around church speaking in tongues, running in the aisles acting like retards.
I get it.
I watched the speech and all I could say to myself is: "This must have been written by a Jew." It just had that..... ew.
So, I decided to look up the dude who writes Barry's speeches.
Yeah.... makes sense now.

That speech was garbage. And I am truly pleased to see Drs. West and Malveaux say publicly, openly, and intelligently, what I have been saying angrily and privately.
We can be fully aware of the moment, of the history, of the importance of what's happening...
...and still be critical. We can still call it like it is.

Dear Superhead: Can you please get AIDS and die already? Sincerely, The Truth Sayer
Let me go ahead and say it for you.
"You wrong. You shouldn't wish death upon people."
"AIDS is nothing to joke about."
"Men been doing it for years, why you picking on Superhead?"
"Blah blah blah blah"
If you worship, idolize, respect, follow, listen to, or read books by this broad, keep it to yourself. You will not win here.

Hard
I have two friends who have recently decided to leave their husbands.
Friend one credits me for convincing her to get married, ergo she was wide open for wack dude's advances. It became painfully obvious soon after they were married that dude was a "mark busta". Very casually one day she ended an email with "Pray for me. I am leaving my husband."
Sucks.
Friend two was at one time a close friend of mine. Leading up to the wedding, it seemed as though I was the only one who knew she should not have been getting married to the dude. I carried that weight alone and debated between speaking on it for months. Many times, I came close. In the end, I kept my objections to myself, thinking I was being a "good friend" by just silently supporting her.
I couldn't attend the wedding. There was no way. So in the end, I protested, silently.
Since the wedding, her situation has deteriorated from being uncomfortable to being unbearable, and I feel terrible. I feel as if I had said something, if I had taken the risk, then maybe I could have saved her from this pain. If I had TRULY valued her as much as I say I did, then I should have spoken.
There are two reasons why I said nothing.
1- I don't know if she would have listened. I don't know, but in the coming months, I'm sure we'll discuss and I'll find out.
2- I don't think I wanted to (when it came down to it) bear the weight of being the one to upset her entire world. I've been there a hundred times with the "You need to do better, and you need to do better now" speech, some of y'all have probably gotten one from me... but never when you were picking out wedding dresses.

Who You With?
Mumia Abu-Jamal's recent comments on the upcoming Presidential elections.
Do yourself a favor, listen to the man. The vid runs 5 minutes.
Just listen.
If you've been following Mumia you know that he has ALWAYS been on point. Always.
This is why he is sitting in a jail cell now.
When I post a new blog, over 200 people read it within the first two days.
This continues to astonish me. More on this at a later date.
Most people, I assume, come thru on some, "Lessee what da Truth Sayer is tawmbout now." and leave on some, "Man, I can't stand dat negroe. Why he gotta be hating on (politicians, white people, grown-up crack babies, gays, or dumb entertainers)?"
Say what you think. Be brave.
Is Mumia just hating because he's on death row and Obama is stealing his shine?
Am I hating on Obama because I wish my skin was lite and pretty like his?
Speak.
I put my opinions out constantly. I'm not afraid to be wrong.
Are you?

Done with the Rebound... now it's time to SCORE!
Today's fun via text messages:
her: are we not speaking or something? Did I do that mystery "thing" again?
me: Did I miss something?
her: U missd me
me: I'm lost for real. Use whole sentences
her: What where u doing last night that u could not call me?
Wooooooooo! But I stayed cool, I stayed cool.
me: I was at work until late. I don't see a missed call that I didn't return, so I'm not understanding the funk.
her: Not funk. Just a question. Why u didn't call me
For those who don't know me well (or at all) the humor of this situation is going to be lost upon you. Nevermind the fact that I don't answer to nobody. Let's say I did.
I'm single. I've been hanging out with Rebound Chick for what, a month?
She's not the only one. In addition, I'm not being real picky right now. I have been using this time to do that whole "socializing" thing. Making sure I still "got it".
Apparently, I do.
Rebound Chick calls me every night. My phone rings at a certain time and I know it's her. She texts me randomly throughout the day. I genuinely like this girl, and if it wasn't for our GLARING MAJOR DIFFERENCES in more than one important area (there are four) I would have no problem wifing her up and being done with this dating nonsense.
Damn standards.
Top this off with the fact that I have never touched this girl. Ever. She gets a hug hello and a hug goodbye. So does my mom. No kisses, no hand holding, nothing that could, on paper, complicate my eventual escape.
If at any time I need to pull this out, I will. But I didn't.
me: I was at work past 2am, that's why.
-silence-
me: Reverse it- why didn't you call me?
her: Cause I wanted to see if u would call me
Chuckii Booker comes to mind.
And no, not "Turned Away"
There are so many lessons to learn here. And not just on how to get along with me. But I find it fitting that N'Dambi's "Call Me" is playing right now, so I will end now.
Plus I got a real date tomorrow. But don't tell nobody. Shhhh

Don't Be a Nigger
Nas is one of the most ignorant coons of ever time. I'm not open to arguing this. If you think Nasir is some kind of freedom fighter, some saviour of hip-hop, or BLACK PEOPLE, just leave, because I will hurt your feelings.
When asked why he would title his album "Nigger" the former Nasty Nas said, "Nigga is just a word. I wanna take the sting out of it. I'm a nigga, you a nigga, and if we get more comfortable with it, we take the power out of the word."
The only thing more dangerous than an ignorant ass nigga, is an ignorant ass nigga who thinks that he is enlightened.
See:
These are the same.
Quit being afraid of "missing out".
Don't support Nas.
