"God Ain't Finished With Me Yet"

Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam" - The Sistine Chapel

"Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus" (KJV Philippians 1:6).

PARENTAL ADVISORY: Extreme Indignation / Very Rough Language / Implied Violence / Blasphemy / Liberal In-group Usage of the "N" Word.

A recent telephone conversation between me and a relative:

Me: OK C_____ , how in the motherfucking fuck did you fuck-up paying your mama’s gas bill on time? All you had to do was walk six funky-assed blocks to the goddamned fucking office niggaaah!!!

Relative: Aw Arthur, man I just got caught-up in some other shit, and I lost track of time… You know how it is cuz… You know what I’m sayin'?

Me: No, I don’t know what you’re sayin’ nigger. But I do know I had to pay a fucking late fee that was unnecessarily incurred because of your slow ass. OK nigga? I don’t want my favorite cousin’s shit cut off because of some stupid fucking nigga-assed shit. OK? You really need
to stop fucking-off and get your shit together man.

Relative: Aw Arthur – you don’t have to come down on me like that man. You know how it is cuz... God ain’t finished with me yet... OK?

(Steam rushes out the ears at this point)

Me: What did you say? Whaaat?!!! “God ain’t finished" with you yet?! Oh… OK… "God ain't finished" huh? WOW - ain't THAT a bitch?!

(Taking the deep breath at this point)

Ok... Umm... How old are you C_____ ?

Relative: Forty three.

Me: FORTY Whaaat?!!!

Relative: FORTY THREE MAN!!! Forty three.

Me: Forty motherfucking three - OK… Let’s... Let's process this… So you’re telling me that the same god that took exactly SIX DAYS to create an entire universe, somehow requires forty three and more YEARS to complete YOUR sorry ass… Is that what you're fucking telling me?!!!

Relative: Aw man… Come on cuz….

(Steam rushing out harder and hotter at this point)

Me: Come on shit nothing!!! OK? Now - since we know God moves in mysterious ways, and we can’t question the motherfucker on top of that, that means the rest of us can’t figure out OR ask where YOU are on his priority list. And because you've also declared yourself an incomplete project of divine handiwork - that means that the rest of us motherfuckers have to just suck it up and unquestioningly accept YOUR trifling-assed bullshit for HOWEVER long, while YOU are still under construction...

Is THAT what you're telling me motherfucker?!!!

Relative: I, um... I’m getting it together cuz...

Me: Look NIGGER - I know you get paid on the 15^th. I will swing by on the 16^th to get my fucking money. Just have THAT together... OK?

CLICK!!!

The Faith Of Idiots

2011-09-05T16:15:00.000-05:00

Pat Condell does it again... Listen to this. He unconsciously describes Black Christians perfectly. "God said it, I believe it, that settles it." It is a shame - millions of people walking around with buckets over their heads, and needing those buckets to be struck with hammers to kick-start their brains. Why read? Why do research? Why think? Faith is all you need!

"You dumb, ignorant, Christian shitkicker..."

Marcus Bachmann Is Gay!!!

2011-07-16T11:22:00.015-05:00

Here we go again - more conservative Republican gay-anti-gay bullshit.

Marcus Bachmann says he does some kind of "Christian Counseling"
to pray away the gay from avowed homosexuals. This guy can "cure" homosexuality? Give me a booty-busting break. This lying fucker needs therapy himself. I saw this guy recently on TV speaking passionately about his "convictions." The flames were raging so strongly from this bastard, I thought somebody would soon call the fire department (Ding! Ding! Ding!). Gaydar alerts are presently ringing at deafening levels across the blogosphere about this dude (Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!).

If liberals would like to get rid of Rep. Michelle "Crazy Eyes" Bachmann (R-Minnesota) quickly, the key is not to analytically hang-on to her Tea Party inspired lunacy - but to keep an eye on her husband.

Now... I don't know if he's a top or a bottom (more likely a bottom)...
But sooner or later HE WILL get caught exiting a place that he was not supposed to be entering - OR somebody with a beef or a conscience will drop the inevitable bomb. This is going to be fun.

The clock starts now.

Thomas Jefferson - Atheist

2011-02-13T21:58:00.007-06:00

1. "I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature."

2. "Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man."

3. "[The] best principles [of our republic] secure to all its citizens a perfect equality of rights."

4. "Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one-half the world fools and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth."

5. "[N]o man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burdened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer, on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities."

6. "I am for freedom of religion, & against all maneuveres to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another."

7. "I never will, by any word or act, bow to the shrine of intolerance, or admit a right of inquiry into the religious opinions of others."

8. "Because religious belief, or non-belief, is such an important part of every person's life, freedom of religion affects every individual. Religious institutions that [are willing to] use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of an established religion tends to make the clergy unresponsive to their own people, and leads to corruption within religion itself. Erecting the "wall of separation between church and state," therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society... We have solved, by fair experiment, the great and interesting question whether freedom of religion is compatible with order in government and obedience to the laws. And we have experienced the quiet as well as the comfort which results from leaving every one to profess freely and openly those principles of religion which are the inductions of his own reason and the serious convictions of his own inquiries."

9. "The impious presumption of legislators and and rulers, civil as well as ecclesiastical, who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world and through all time: That to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical..."

10. "Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the common law."

11. "The clergy, by getting themselves established by law and ingrafted into the machine of government, have been a very formidable engine against the civil and religious rights of man."

12. "History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes."

13. "The law for religious freedom... [has] put down the aristocracy of the clergy and restored to the citizen the freedom of the mind."

14. "The declaration that religious faith shall be unpunished does not give immunity to criminal acts dictated by religious error."

15. "I concur with you strictly in your opinion of the comparative merits of atheism and demonism, and really see nothing but the latter in the being worshiped by many who think themselves Christians."

16. "[Creeds] have been the bane and ruin of the Christian church, its own fatal invention, which, through so many ages, made of Christendom a slaughterhouse, and at this day divides it into castes of inextinguishable hatred to one another."

17. "No man complains of his neighbor for ill management of his affairs, for an error in sowing his land or marrying his daughter, for consuming his substance in taverns... In all these he has liberty; but if he does not frequent the church, or then conform in ceremonies, there is an immediate uproar."

18. "I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives... It is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be read. By the same test the world must judge me. But this does not satisfy the priesthood. They must have a positive, a declared assent to all their interested absurdities. My opinion is that there would never have been an infidel, if there had never been a priest. The artificial structures they have built on the purest of all moral systems, for the purpose of deriving from it pence and power, revolt those who think for themselves, and who read in that system only what is really there."

19. "The priests of the different religious sects... dread the advance of science as witches do the approach of daylight, and scowl on the fatal harbinger announcing the subdivision of the duperies on which they live."

20. "Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus."

21. "A professorship of theology should have no place in our institution." (Referring to the University of Virginia).

A Great Comment From YouTube

A comment replying to Christians in general:

"So after you fucked up with slavery you wanna teach me about what rights a homosexual should have? After you fucked up with Galileo's obviously true (celestial) observations, condoms ability to prevent HIV and correlations between being gay and causation of hurricanes - you wanna teach me that evolution, abiogenesis, radiometric dating, and the big bang are all wrong?... I don't mean to be a dick but... WTF is wrong with you?"

Never A Business

2011-02-01T18:35:00.278-06:00

Booker T. Washington

I think the reason we lost so much ground economically AFTER the Civil Rights movement is because we did not use our newfound freedoms properly. After we gained the right to sit anywhere we wanted to on public conveyances, stay in any hotel we could afford, etc… We focused on a campaign of “acceptance” from white people (maybe because they look like "Jesus"). Trying to get white people to stop lynching us long enough to serve us some coffee and become “equal” in their eyes for the sake of general acceptance into the white-assed American “mainstream.”

We marched and demonstrated to gain more opportunities for "equal" employment at all levels in “Corporate America.” Legislatures across the land made sure we got some "Affirmative Action." Corporations hired us and we became Vice-Presidents in charge of Community Relations, and Assistant Directors of Diversity and Senior Managers of Minority Affairs. White folks gave us corporate business cards WITH OUR NAMES ON THEM. Got to eat cake at corporate luncheons. (Have you ever noticed how much white folks enjoy watching a bunch of niggers eat cake? I don't eat watermelon or fried chicken around white folks. Period... Put your camera away motherfucker) We became able to live next to white people without getting a cross burned on our front lawns.

Talk about progress!

Please.

Our focus should have been on Black economics, entrepreneurship, ownership of the Black community, the building of a national intellectual infrastructure, and Black educational alliances of all types. No – I am not a “Black Nationalist” that hates this country, or thinks that we should “build a separate nation” – hell no. We blood and sweat and slavery built this, and because we built this – we have a solid and irrefutable stake HERE.

But after the abolition of Jim Crow - we became more concerned with being “accepted” rather than using our energies and creativity to become competitive with the white man (like the way Jewish and Asian Americans have become). Because we continue to mis-handle our freedoms and rights - we are where we are. And this “plight-filled” position is where we will remain until we wake-up to what we really need to do.

We have closed the book on the wisdom of Booker T. Washington (research him please). He was one of the slickest Black men ever born. Because of the times he lived in, he attempted to talk and teach us into an independent prosperity on the down-low. He wanted us to understand that the business of America is business. Not a job. Not "Affirmative Action." Acceptance in a capitalist society comes with competitiveness.

The killer part about Booker T. Washington was that he tricked white people into paying for our education - while pretending he was on "their" side. The biggest okie-doke was his Atlanta Compromise Speech. That was pure politics. He was telling white folks exactly what they wanted to hear - while at the same time prodding them to change some of their more egregious attitudes and actions, so as to protect and promote their own self-interests (yuk-yuk). He smiled - and they clapped. He was hoping that we [Black folks] would pick-up on what he was really doing.

He walked away from that speech with white folks making pledges to give him even more money... Slick.

W.E.B. DuBois, along with many other Black contemporaries of Washington's, did not understand that Washington was not actually a "compromiser" - he was a "player." And the white folks that dealt with him got "schmoozed" and "analyzed" and "played." From Washington's contemporaries, all the way to present-day Black Nationalists (and myself for a time, I must admit), we all unfairly and mistakenly looked upon his finely calculated persuasive methods as "accomodationism"
at best, or "Uncle Tomism" at worst.

We must also consider the fact that white folks' racial sensitivities at the time were too hot, too retarded, and too homicidally inclined (you know - like Sarah Palin and her constipated hoard of Tea Partyers) to be raised too high or too fast. He himself could not be seen as "uppity" or be seen as someone attempting to raise a multitude of "uppity niggers."

The image he wanted to project was to be a teacher of skills so that the Negro would be more useful to the white man . Without that projection - he likely would have been lynched, and the Tuskegee Institute would definitely have been destroyed. Therefore, he had to "appear" to be agreeable with nasty "Jim Crow" conditions while he was teaching us the basics for the future development of Black economic power.

Our history demanded that we create a parallel economic, investment and educational system (just like we did in Tulsa Oklahoma). We [Blacks] had more real business going on during the worst periods of the Jim Crow era than we do now. And we did it without marching.

Insurance companies, banks, bus companies - you name it... Produced several millionaires too. Through BUSINESS - not sports or entertainment.

At one time, most Black people had a very high regard and hunger for education. Now, we occupy our precious time with more important stuff - like Beyonce’s new hairstyle, what the NBA finals are looking like, who's fucking who at church, and who got shot at Pookie's party last night. Or, we are feeding the learning center of our collective brains with the banging dead-endedness of hip-hop (some of the worst hip-hop offenders – like Lil’Wayne have college educations!?).

“Education? What for? All you need is a blunt, a bitch, and a AK-47!!!”

Or – we have the Sharpton’s and the Jesse’s of our race marching us down another dead end (“We need jobs!!!”). "Up with hope - down with dope!!!" What?!! (Niggers can march their asses off.) And what the fuck is an "Economic Justice?" How is it that we can always find resources to open churches, but we refuse to have a clue when it comes to opening a business. We have "food deserts" in Black communities because WE don't open and operate food stores (no "church deserts" though).

Isn't it strange how ALL of the so-called "food deserts" are always located in the areas where Jesus is praised in the most exalted ways and the most often? Always where there is an over-abundance of churches? Always where every other nigger is a "minister?" You know - all the places where so many of the "blessed and highly favored" live.

It is almost psychotic in how WE build so many churches that we
now have a vast block-after-block "overflow" of these facilities in our communities. But at the same time, we create very few [Black-owned] businesses. What is it about Black people that we prefer to work for the children of the lyncher and discriminator, instead of for ourselves?

When its time for us to FEED ourselves - someone else is always expected to "come-in" and do that - in the name of "equal access" and "providing jobs" and "investing in under-developed communities." Hell - niggers don't even "invest" in their community (that's why it's under-developed), but we expect everybody else to. That's some crazy shit - ain't it? We can always find a way to build a church though - and feed, employ and prosper a clergyman - but we cannot find a way to build stores to feed, employ and prosper our own children - like others do.

I don't get this.

No "food deserts" in Chinatown, and hey - no "food deserts" in Latino communities either. And they say the Latinos are more broke than the niggers are. Are they? Well, they [Latinos] might be more broke - but they sure have enough sense as men, to make sure that "access" to FOOD and other necessities are available in their communities - without some other community (whites and Asians) "coming-in" to do it for them.

As far as "jobs" are concerned - is working for whites really "Economic Justice?" Or is it "Economic Suicide?"

It would seem that after the superfuck we received through the history
of White Christian America that Blacks would be the most independent, entrepreneurial, well-educated, cohesive, politically astute and atheistic minority in this country. 400 years of slavery and shitty treatment and you still prefer a white man being your BOSS? You still prefer to live next door to white folks? You still praising the motherfucking name of Jesus?

There is truly something wrong with us.

Young white men and Asians are moving billions of dollars around the world per day - per second, with a click of a mouse or a single phone call. Many of them are being well-compensated in tens, and in some cases hundreds of millions of dollars per year. But the "Civil Rights" clergy are always maneuvering us into dead situations where our Black asses are picking-up sticks at a construction site; or serving-up some fast-food slop to a lunchtime queue of gum-popping, phone-texting knukleheads; or
shoveling shit behind some white bastard's freeze-dried fart factory.

They give us nothing different to set our minds to.

Reverend Jesse's and Reverend Al's children are all college educated. They don't shovel shit, and they don't wear their pants under their asses either. Why hasn't "systemic and institutional racism" deterred THEM from getting an education? Has anyone ever asked how they were able to overcome the "systemic and institutional racism" obstacle? We now live in a worldwide "knowledge economy" Black folks. Crack open a business magazine sometime - the "nerds" are the ones making the billions.

Those same business magazines tell the whole world that "The niggers have 800 billion dollars in annual income they can't wait to get rid of!!!"

New immigrants land here, learn how to drive, learn how to say "nigger" properly, plan, save their money and then open businesses in the Black community - so THEY can get as much of those billions as possible.

That's CAPITALISM! Black folks...

TV cameras roll - as the nigger clergy rail and hyperventilate on podiums across the nation, about "Economic Justice" and "Economic Violence" and "Economic Parity" and "Economic Bullshit" and "Economic...Wtf?"

The power structure responds to the noise - and "sets aside" certain jobs for us - so we can shut the fuck up and shovel another 800 billion dollars worth of shit. The immigrants are making more money off us than they know what to do with... The clergy is making more money off us than they know what to do with... And the nerds sip expensive cocktails and laugh at the niggers on TV while they are clocking $10,000 per hour.

Beautiful.

Now – if Black churches were really sincere about actual progress for Black people – they could preach about the importance of establishing Black businesses, and the importance of patronizing Black businesses (one of the reasons Latinos will eventually trump us economically, is that Latinos have no problem patronizing Latino businesses). Those churches could make clear the reasons why we should own our neighborhoods, and help young people to see the pursuit of education as a life priority.

But of course - that will never happen. One of the main functions of the Black Church is to keep Black people economically subservient to white people, and to always have us in a tied-up, confused, and childlike state ("You must be born again..! And again..!" "And again motherfucker? Don't put no more water on me man!"). Black clergymen are supported by the power structure (believe it) to keep us Black people disorganized, in check, and working hard against ourselves.

Intellectual development and business competitiveness is regarded
as un-godly and greedy. You should be a sheep in somebody's flock. Poverty is allieviated through "salvation" - your avowed and sanctified obedience to "the word of God."

Right... And the meek shall inherit the earth... KISS MY ASS.

Clergymen have niggers looking up at clouds and shit, shouting, praising, and "seeking" a non-existent "Lord," while the rest of the world is running past us - seeking new markets to capitalize and make money on.

They have us proactively angry about the possibility of gays getting married (and that's incredible - if you consider how much un-married fucking is going-on within the Black Christian community), instead of being proactively angry about the high amount of crime that goes on in our neighborhoods. These trick motherfuckers have us actually believing that stopping marriage has a higher priority than stopping murder...

Brilliant.

I sometimes act as a referral source for several leasing agents of commercial properties for a fee. I once received information about a well-located commercial property (in the Black community) with parking that was available for sale or lease that could also be divided. When I released the information about this property onto my networks – these were some of the responses I got:

1. Arab – wanted to open a grocery store.

2. Korean – wanted to open a beauty supply.

3. Greek – wanted to open a fruit market.

4. Black – wanted to open a church.

5. Korean – wanted to open a dry-cleaners with plant.

6. Indian – wanted to open a Dunkin Donuts.

7. Black – wanted to open a Christian Outreach center.

8. Black – wanted to open a church.

9. Pakistani – wanted to open a Seven-11.

10. Black – wanted to open a church.

We got the best deal from No.9 – it closed as a lease/sale. The contract goes into sale mode after a three-year lease period. The lessee ended up building-out the excess space to be sub-leased to other businesses. I got a lot more responses than these ten cited, wanting to utilize the property for various commercial purposes. But EVERY response I got from one
of our [Black] folks – they wanted the property to use as a church, or something Christian-related. Never a business. We Black folks seem to have a “church-only” focus that just turns my stomach.

That's why we are so fucked-up.

The next time you [Black person] walk into another $3,000,000 a year gross revenue, hole-in-the-wall Korean-owned beauty supply store, that is located smack in the middle of your neighborhood; and after you are followed around like a criminal while you are trying to shop for your "hair jam" and "doo rags;" and when you walk up to the counter to pay for your goods - and the Korean gives you a dry-assed look, like you've just been released from prison; and snatches your money off the counter, like you borrowed it and took a long time to pay him back; and he does not want to touch your hand when he gives you change - like you're some kind of walking biohazard; and shoves your bag of purchases at you - like you're a stupid bitch; and damn near tells you to get the fuck out his store...

I want you to think about everything I said in this post.

Interviewer: “Your Holiness - why are you considered to be the authority on matters of faith and morality?”

Pope: “It is because I wear a dress and a goofy hat – of course!”

Interviewer: “How does your attire translate into authority? I don’t get it...”

Pope: “My son – anyone that has the balls to wear an outfit like this in public, and to then expect to be taken seriously on top of it, deserves to be the authority… Don’t you think?”

A Good Christian

2010-12-05T02:04:00.005-06:00

You cannot be a good Christian unless you are discriminating against or hating somebody. Inclusiveness, tolerance, equality, freedom, morality, enlightenment - all of these things are actually against the "Word Of God." Read the Bible for yourself and see. One of the things that is extremely irritating to many Christians in this country is the fact that non-Christians have freedom of speech rights also. If it were not for First Amendment constitutional restraints, Christians would imprison, torture and kill those that had the nerve to express a different worldview than the Christian one.

Even in America - you must still be careful about being honest (about your non-belief) around Christians (especially Black ones) - they can and will get violent in some cases (this dumb shit is seen as "defending the faith"), or some may do things like setting you up to get fired from your employment or pressuring a landlord to evict you from your home. Many Christians are too weak-minded and credulous to handle frank dialogue.

Christians are also into "shunning" - today, that means soft ostracism, arrogant avoidance, or just not wanting to talk to a person that they know is an atheist. Nigger clergymen teach their flocks to fear intelligence and independent thinking ("everything you need to know is in the Bible"). But that may be a good thing - you will know, explicitly who is, and who is not worth talking to. Why would you want to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to reason with a bunch of whooping dummies anyway?

Lying about or hiding your own non-belief, exercising sage-like patience and practicing strategic accommodation in the face of pure ignorance - you know - the same way you would deal with a retarded person (be sure to add-in a few "amens"), helps you to get-along with the typical Christian. No, no, and no - you cannot be honest with many Christians and expect to co-exist with them peacefully at the same time.

There is a reason that the first thing the founders did while formulating
the U.S. Constitution was to separate church and state. They separated the law of God - from the law of the land. The most anti-Constitutional, anti-Bill of Rights, pro-slavery book ever composed on this planet is the Holy Bible. The founders understood this shit completely. The majority of Christians (who - by the way have never seriously studied the Bible in its entirety, like most atheists have) really don't understand why the law of the land should not be the law of God.

It is a shame that nigger Christians don't get the fact that if the law of
God were reconstructed and put back into practice - the first thing that white, conservative, dominionist Christians would do - would be to put our Black asses back into slavery (no expiration date on that folks - check your Bible please), all women would have to go back into true submission mode, meaning shut the fuck up or get fucked-up (equal what?), and all homosexuals would be picked-up and wiped-out. Keep it up - you dumb-assed religious knuckleheads might just get what you keep asking for.

Motherfuckers that live in this United States of America bitch need to research and recognize where their freedoms actually come from... And it ain't from the Bible. Proactive credulity and enlightened consent just do not mix - they can't. Imagine the idiots in this picture running the country.

Unbelievable Dumbness

2010-11-14T00:35:00.037-06:00

This post is about an article from the Saturday, November 13, 2010 Chicago Sun-Times newspaper (AP). What is excerpted below sounds like something from a newspaper out of the 14th century. This shit is crazy and unbelievable. The fact that their "conference" was considered newsworthy is mind-boggling. Do these Catholic priests actually believe that demonic posession is a real problem in 21st century America?

Ahhh... NO. It's about money and opportunity.

It is truly sad that millions of people around the world take these bastards seriously. They [Catholic priests] have to be laughing their asses off (with the assistance of a little benedictine) within their respective seminaries, monasteries, presbyteries, and rectories. It is also sad that those same millions of religious dum-dums out there believe that their financial, health or mental challenges can be solved only by supernatural means.

I do understand that exorcism could potentially be a lucrative source
of revenue for churches (and not just the Catholic ones - the mega-preachers will be on this soon), if marketed properly. The attitude of clergy is: Hell... If the suckers are out there, why the fuck not?

But really... Read this shit:

"2-Day Conference Aims To Bring Priests Up To Speed On Exorcisms

Citing a shortage of preists who can perform exorcisms, the nations Roman Catholic bishops are sponsoring a conference on how to perform the rite.

The two-day training, starting Friday in Baltimore is to outline the scriptural basis of evil, instruct clergy on evaluating whether a person is truly posessed, and review the prayers and rituals that comprise an exorcism.

'Learning the liturgical rite is not difficult,' said Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, archbishop of Galveston-Houston, Texas. 'The problem is the discernment that the exorcist needs before he would ever attempt the rite.'

Few have the training
More than 50 bishops and 60 priests signed up to attend.

Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, who organized the conference, said only a tiny number of U.S. priests have enough training and knowledge to perform an exorcism. Dioceses nationwide have been overwhelmed with requests to evaluate claims.

Neal Lozano, a Catholic who has written about combating evil spirits, said he knows an exorcist in the church who receives about 400 inquiries a year, but determines that out of that number, two or three of the cases require an exorcism."

Wow... Christians never cease to amaze.

You know what... Fuck "discernment" - I could open up an "Exorcism Express Store" (can I franchise this?) to take care of those other 397 inquiries (plus) that un-named exorcist won't deal with. This is America - anybody that wants one should be able to get one. OK?.. Charge a really low price of 250 bucks per exorcism - cheap!!!

That's right - since "dioceses nationwide have been overwhelmed with requests," somebody needs to get that money.

Or... I could publish a new magazine - "Exorcism Today," where those that offer various exorcism services (consulting, equipment rental, etc.) could place their advertising, along with articles that highlight particular exorcists and their success stories. Not to mention tips and suggestions for exorcism practitioners, and updates on the latest advances in exorcism techniques and technology. Shit... I'll do both!!!

This can go far... What do you think?

2010-09-26T13:45:00.042-05:00

Another gay-anti-gay (we need a term for this) mega-preacher bites the allegations. This is turning into a habit. Any time I see anyone - not just preachers, being as vociferously hard-core anti-gay as this guy, I expect them to get caught tossing salad sooner or later.

It's a flag - as far as I am concerned.

Even though sixteen is the age of consent (sixteen... wtf?) in the State Of Georgia - the bald fact is that the guys he was fucking around with were still (in reality) children. A sick-assed pedophile clergyman is a predator of the worst kind. He will fuck your mind from the pulpit with that bullshit snake-oil called Christianity - then fuck your child within his "private" chapel, after he gently "anoints" his or her blessed behind with VaselineÒ. Isn't it great how mega-preachers use only "name brand" products?

(Back to him...) This dirty bastard will pray with you - then take everything, your heart, your mind, your wallet, your _________ (fill in the blank).

Bishop Long is a pimp and a conniving liar. But I believe that my [Black]
folks are dumb enough (yes) to continue to support this booty-snatching charlatan anyway. So let us ALL forgive this motherfucker in the name of Jesus. Might as well... Niggers have already forgiven his dick-sucking ass.

I hope he didn't swallow... Bling-Bling!

Listen to this - this guy nails the "Ground Zero Mosque" issue right on the head. Pat Condell (the guy he is talking about) is a vocal and unrepentant Atheist (he's very funny) that can be seen on YouTube. The link to the video he is referring to is below.

I Was Going To Say Something Else. But...

2010-08-01T15:57:00.014-05:00

I got off-track when I saw this picture. I was about to write something about Black televangelists - but seeing this picture upset my sinuses so severely that I forgot what to write.

This nigger is a spokesman for Jesus Christ? Wow... Black people are more gullible than I thought. Any person that thinks this dude dispenses useful information needs immediate psychiatric attention.

Are Black people that bad-off? I mean shit. Come on...

If it were possible to visualize a really thick, powerful, noxious-smelling fart - this guy is what it would look like...

Three More Reasons I Am An Atheist

2010-07-08T23:35:00.054-05:00

1. I just can't bring myself to worship white people. For me - to worship Jesus is the same thing as falling on one's knees and indiscriminately giving every passing white guy on the street a blowjob. Can't do it.

2. Can't give money to clergymen. I need to buy my own private jet before I pay for someone else's.

3. God does exist (my atheism is cracking). And he's white. Can't

worship him. I know he's white, because in every venue I've visited that has artwork showing what God looks like (see the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican for example), those works show him as white. His only begotten son is white (see the picture above and Mel Gibson's movie). Right?

All the angels, cherubs, and seraphs in those artworks are also white. The Virgin Mary is definitely white. I never saw Black folks even in the backgrounds of those works - you know, doing the things that Black folks are supposed to do in a Christian heaven: Cleaning, yardwork, shining sandals, cooking, ironing, getting lynched, you know - the usual stuff.

No niggers in heaven nowhere - shit, heaven may be segregated too!

Hey, even Moses himself looked just like Charlton Heston (see the "great" movie "The Ten Commandments"). And since we all know that Christians don't lie - I take their word for it. God is white!

I also know God is white because of the way that Black people were treated for 400 years in a Christian land. It makes total sense: If you are not white (even if you are Christian) why shouldn't you be treated like shit? And if Black Christian people were, or if they are now - being regarded like shit by God himself and God's chosen people, in a Christian country no less - why should I worship him or even acknowledge his existence?

He certainly doesn't acknowledge mine - that is for damned sure. Slavery, Jim Crow, Lynching. Salvation for niggers is not, or ever - his business.

"Go Back To Africa"

2010-05-30T12:44:00.097-05:00

I was talking with an associate recently about a verbal incident that culminated in him being told to “go back to Africa.” I thought he was unnecessarily upset – he should have looked at it as a joke. Anyone that says this has either "run-out," or never even had a decent insult... A real dumbass. I am an avid literacy-lover that appreciates the sheer linguistic artistry of a good insult. Really - if you are going to take the time to insult me, say something that I can appreciate (and steal).

The funny thing about the “go back to Africa” hardball, is that in my own experience, this insult is usually thrown by white people that have
not been in the United States very long, and do not know English very well. Ninety per cent of the time when this ball was hurled my way – it was usually from someone with a heavy Eastern-European accent.

“Spell Africa!” I would retort.

“Ssspeeel Aaafrikka?!!!!!!” They would respond. “Aaahhh… DurrrrYOU Ssspeeel Aaafrikka… JurrYourr Bleck Mudderrr Pucker!”

I have heard of others being advised about immediate relocation to Africa by Mexicans, Laotians, Koreans, Irish, Australians, Greeks, Italians, et cetera. The common thread that seems to tie all of these self-appointed travel consultants together, is that they all have those thick “old-country” accents, broken English, and five years or less of residence in the United States. And once they gain citizenship – they boldly raise the ignorant nerve to attempt to relegate folks that were here (and working) – long before this country became a country.

None of these new immigrants seem to be aware of the fact that the American genealogy of 90% of Black people is much longer than that of most presently living white Americans. I also notice that NONE of these immigrants tell American white folks to go anywhere (why not?). I don’t know where they get this shit from. Maybe telling Black folks to “go back to Africa” was part of their citizenship training.

Who the fuck knows?

This “go back to Africa” missile flies out of white folks mouths so
often that I wonder if they have lost their creativity. This shit is so old and redundant. They have been saying this “go back” stuff since we were released from slavery (“Can’t use you no more... So why don’t you leave?”). I mean – if white folks are going to continue to make a habit of insulting and cussing-out Black people, they could at least spend a little time to expand their vocabularies and come-up with more innovative words, phrases, combinations and applications.

Hey - I even know of some Mexicans that are presently learning
how to say “nigger” in Chinese ("Somebody hit the gong please!!!").
"Now... Come-on white folks – you really need to step it up!"

So far in my life - as of this writing:

- I have been told to, “Go Back To Africa” exactly 57,526 times.
- Been called a “Black Mother-Fucker” exactly 853,419 times. And
- been called a “Nigger” exactly 19,658,244 times.

There are points in many people’s lives that will get jaded to certain
things. I’m a guy that harbors “controversial” thoughts and dispenses uncompromising speech. Trigger cocked, and ready to rock, right then and there. You give ME shit, I give YOU shit, no time wasted, no dead air. Impatient and imprudent. So, a certain amount of excited invective is bound to come my way, just as a matter of course. This “go back to Africa” stuff is just one of the ways that the shit comes to me. Ok?

For example:

I met a white guy in Mississippi that hated Black people so much -
he could say “nigger” at the astounding rate of 22.6 times a second.

I kid you not!

After one good conversation with me – this cracker-motherfucker’s emotional state was so worked-up that it enabled him to break his own record by calling me “nigger” at the faster than lightning pace of 47.3 times per second. His flow was beyond amazing. You’d really have to hear it to believe it. This, in addition to calling me an “uppity Black bastard” - squeezed within the last tenth of a second. Whew!!! I’d like to see ANY rapper or auctioneer top that.

As far as I know, the record still stands.

Black folks! The next time a person tells you to “Go back to Africa” – start laughing your ass off - then ask the stupid son-of-a-bitch…

“Is that all you got?”

A Closet You Can Believe In

2010-05-08T01:55:00.135-05:00

Another one bites the allegations. This time it is Dr. George Alan Rekers, an important leader of the Christian right, a minister, and a leading anti-gay activist. I’ll bet you can’t guess what they say the good doctor was doing. Well – he was seen hanging out with a known homosexual person at an airport – the both of them returning from a 10-day European vacation. A person that goes by the (nice) name of “Lucien” who was hired by the good doctor as a “travel assistant.”

The doctor denies any impropriety (of course). “Lucien” was available for work, and was hired through a (gay) website called “Rentboy.com.” Hmm, sounds innocent enough. Dr. Rekers recently had surgery, and he needed an assistant to help carry his luggage. Plausible? Plausible.

But in a Miami New Times article, we find that “Lucien” (allegedly)
did not carry luggage, and he was paid to do nude body rubs. “Lucien”
(a prostitute) believes the good doctor is a homosexual. And “Lucien” remarked – “In all honesty, [Rekers] should disassociate himself from these [anti-gay] groups.” Wow. Why did he say that?

Could it be that in addition to the body rubs – they were possibly doing "homosexual stuff?” With Dr. Rekers? I don’t believe it. I think Dr. Rekers was “ministering” to “Lucien” about the sinfulness of the gay lifestyle. That’s what I think. I mean – he is a minister. Right?

And what the fuck is wrong with a “nude body rub?” My God…

Just to show you as an example of how those conservative “family research” groups are nothing but a bunch of lying hypocrites: The misleadingly-named Family Research Council (this joint was founded by slick conservative fascist - Dr. James Dobson) removed all language from their website, regarding Rekers’ role as a founding member.

Those bastards took that shit off real quick.

According to Wikipedia, “they [FRC] also posted up a release denying
any association with Rekers for over a decade, stating that ‘while it’s extremely disappointing when any Christian leader engages in the very activities that they “preach” against, it’s not surprising. The Scriptures clearly teach the fallen nature of all people.” But look at how those
(ahh... Straight?) Christians are treating him. Would Jesus do this?

Dr. Rekers is also an officer of “NARTH” (National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality). This outfit claims to be able to convert homosexuals to heterosexuality through some kind of “conversion therapy.” Sounds phony to me. And even if it did work - if I were gay, I would not undergo the therapy... I couldn't take some preacher son-of-a-bitch converting me from homo to hetero, and then telling me I can’t get any pussy because of some “abstinence” crap. Fuck that.

I'll always believe that claims of sexual-orientation re-do’s are bullshit.
But, if they really are able to do this - I think outfits like NARTH are missing an opportunity... Instead of keeping all of those “proven” tools and techniques inside an organization, maybe they could assemble all the core materials: A cross, an abridged Bible containing the pertinent verses to be recited, holy water, a whip, handcuffs, a special condom to prevent masturbation, a poster of Ted Haggard, etc…

Put all this together as a kit. Sell it for $29.95 at Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart. Call it “Gay-Away” or “Homo-Evictus” or something. I am sure some marketing firm could come up with something catchy.

That way, if one’s son or husband starts to hot-flash and generate homosexual urges, or suddenly develops an uncontrollable desire for high-heels, or if he inexplicably "must" re-decorate the house - those urges can be eliminated by a simple run to the drugstore and $29.95.

Cheap, quick relief. They would sell a billion dollars of this shit the first week on the market.

But getting back to this (alleged) jerk-off… Those anti-homosexual homosexual Christians like Dr. Rekers simply fascinate me. They spend their Biblically-stunted, humanity-repressed, closeted lives trying to make life more nasty and miserable for the un-closeted ones. They are the ones that are anti-life, anti-freedom, and anti-family. The un-closeted are the real Americans, the actual moral heroes in this.

Religious Motherfuckers (new noun)... This is America!!!

Where every son-of-a-bitch is supposed to have the freedom to live
who he is, and be able to go where HIS life wants to go, not where YOU meddling, hypocritical assholes believe he needs to go.

Fuck all Bible-thumping, anti-Constitutional liars.

As you can see - they cannot possibly live according to their own (professed) beliefs. They then want to turn around and tell everybody else what to do. Fuck YOU. Religious Motherfuckers need to stop faking, stop fucking with other motherfuckers, trash those stupid-assed Bibles, and work on becoming actual Americans.

Come out of your bullshit closets, step into freedom – and, just be who you are.

Sarah Palin - Part 5

2010-05-07T17:44:00.003-05:00

Looking back and reflecting on some of the novel aspects of the 2008 presidential campaign. One of the things that really sticks in my mind is the fact that Sarah Palin is an open "holy-ghosting" Christian (for real), that preaches abstinence out front. While at the same time toting around a daughter that was (and still is) giving away pussy out back like haloween candy, and was pregnant (and will be again).

Is this Republican politics - or what?

Saggin Ass

2010-05-07T00:31:00.013-05:00

Maybe because it is my age or something - but I am so confused about this "sagging" stuff. I mean, the main stylers of this "style" are supposed to be the most macho of our [Black] race. They say this is "gangsta" - but it looks so - well - GAY. Is this the new "macho?" Somehow - I just don't see Al Capone or John Gotti rolling like this.

It is like these guys are signaling or inviting others to make some kind of contact with their asses. "Here's my drawers man - come and get it." That can't be it. Right? But their pants are "down" and "low" - aren't they? Not a homosexual flag? OK... Maybe their black asses are so hot, they need to get additional cooling before their pants burn-up.

"Smoke!!! Pull um down man! Pull um down!"

What if they have to run? Looks complicated. I would love to see how you pull-off a getaway with your pants like that. I am sure I am wrong.

Am I?

Someone - please give me a reasonable explanation for this.

Drill Baby Drill

Sarah Palin,

Quiet... Strategically mute and vacant, these folks. Along with their now strangely silent, politically inert, "ditto-headed" sycophants.

"President Obama: I hope you have learned something from this.
Any time you listen to, think about, or yield to Republican wishes, something is bound to blow-up, wash-out, or sink. When the blow-up, wash-out, or sinking occurs - they'll stand (far-off) to the side and look
up at the clouds with their hands in their pockets (whistling and shit). And THERE you will remain - alone, in the spotlights, before the people,
to clean-up. Isn't that what's happening now? Isn't it?"

Yes... Is the correct answer.

Stop listening to those snake motherfuckers, and go forth with the progressive mandate that the people have given you.

Stephen Fry on Catholicism - From the Intelligence Squared Debate

2010-04-29T23:41:00.036-05:00

Stephen Fry Rocks!!!

Listen to this - I could not have said this better myself. Erudition,
passion, and truth. I hope the Pope is listening. And yes - I do think the Pope's racket-running ass should be arrested. Life in prison.

"Got nothing to do motherfucker? Pray!"

Hey... Just getting the mugshots would be worth it ("This is a mugshot Your Holiness - you can't bless the photographer!"). Front shot, side shot, with the pope hat, that white dress he wears, fingerprints and all. Sell the jailhouse booking pictures as a poster. They'll go fast!

The entire Catholic Church should then be prosecuted and taken down under RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), because the Catholic Church is truly an ongoing criminal organization. Law enforcement should dismantle the Vatican for landfill, seize all bank accounts and other assets, shut down all church operations, sell off all church art treasures to compensate the innocent victims of sodomy rape committed in the name of God, and levy stiff fines on any Catholic entity caught serving bananas and/or tossed salad.

If you can - watch the whole debate. Christopher Hitchens (my hero) does some heavy solo riffs in this debate also.

Can RICO be used in an international court? If not - bring the case to Chicago. We Chicago folks have a way of making sure a case ends with the right verdict. The Pope could then do Mass every morning (for the next 100 years) at the Marion Federal Penitentiary. Halleleujah!!!!!

"In most of us colored folks was the great desire to [be] able to read and write. We took advantage of every opportunity to educate ourselves. The greater part of the plantation owners were very harsh if we were caught trying to learn or write. It was the law that if a white man was caught trying to educate a Negro slave, he was liable to prosecution entailing a fine of fifty dollars and a jail sentence. We were never allowed to go to town, and it was not until after I ran away that I knew that they sold anything but slaves, tobacco, and whiskey. Our ignorance was the greatest hold the South had on us. We knew we could run away, but what then? An offender guilty of this crime was subjected to very harsh punishment."

The greatest thing about lynchings is that they were always 100% attended by Christians - including the folks being lynched. As you can see, THIS is what interracial fellowshipping in the name of Jesus is all about. I myself must admit to being impressed, at the many beautiful
ways that white conservatives and Blacks in this country can unite as committed, Bible-believing Christians. This is just one faith-based example of how we, together - can accomplish TRUE brotherhood!

Abstinence

2010-04-08T12:00:00.099-05:00

Why is it that high-profile, married, white, right-wing, Christian, conservative Republican men and clergymen of all stripes always get caught doing it? The same guys that oppose abortion, gay marriage, pre-marital sex and even discussions about sex - seem to get more sex, gay and straight (whoopee!!!) - than everybody else. Do these guys believe what they are preaching? Maybe I am missing something here. But there has always been a weird connection (from what I see) between preaching abstinence and getting more ass.

Tiger ain't in this.

When I was in high school, the two girls that talked the most about "repentance" and "salvation" and "Jesus" - no make-up, long dresses, no gym, were the first ones to pop pregnant - one by her married, abstinence preaching pastor. I guess she held her "holy" open a little too long.

My brother and I used to debate about which groups of avowed Christian girls gave better sex - be it sanctified vs pentecostal, or whatever. In our experience, it turned out that the catholic girls were always the plainest looking, but also the freakiest (by far!). Baptists and Methodists gave the best blowjobs. Jehovah's Witnesses were the quickest for quickies. Witness women have always amazed me with their expert ability to leave a hotel room (fast!) with a straight face, clothes, hair, etc. Like nothing happened!

The sanctified and pentecostal girls were (numerically) the most unmarried. But they always had the most kids, the most thongs, and were always ready to fuck (after church - of course). Adultery is the norm within sanctified and pentecostal churches - especially if a (straight) pastor is involved in the adulterous triangle.

Looking for sex? I recommend you stop wasting your time at parties and nightclubs. Find the churches where the congregants shake in the aisles, and dance in the pews, and holler the loudest, praising Jesus. You need to see some sweat-drenched, speaking in tongues, organ-pounding, choir-shouting, Holy Ghosting on down... AMEN!!! You got to feel the POWER... My Brother - of the Hooolee Spirit!!! That way you will know you are in the right place. Tambourines in the pews are another good sign of potential passion on a Sunday night.

Ohhhh Jesus, I'm coming... Praaaise the Lawd!!!

Abstenence and monogamy talk may be good religious PR - but hey
man, Christians just love to fuck folks they are not married to. Especially those conservative, white, married, right-wing, anti-abortion, Republican "morality" types. But if you think about it - this makes total sense. You can't deny anything, if you don't fuck anything. So, if you have nothing to deny - why be a politician? OK? And being a clergyman of any type is a sure guarantee of access to extra ass - along with the money for hotels, drugs, and Viagra.

Ass is one of the main reasons that some are "called" to the clergy.

The Virgin Mary herself wouldn't stand a chance in most churches (or Washington for that matter). Could you imagine how many clergy and politicians would want to bust THAT ass (including the Pope)?

Once you see (catch) a Pastor Fuller or a Congressman Jones (on video), leaving the sanctuary (hotel), after a "private audience" with the Blessed Virgin - you could safely throw all of that "immaculate" shit out the window, and sing "Tutti Frutti" right along with the pastor, and the congressman, and the Pope.

Bet that.

Preaching abstinence IS the way to get more pussy (and ass).

A Letter To The Editor

2010-04-08T11:25:00.009-05:00

Not all Black people are welfare-minded, pathology-nurturing lumps that are always looking outside themselves to be "saved." Even though this young woman is a Christian - enough real sense has been put into her to make her letter a standout. I concur with most of her letter. I am posting it below in its entirety.

"As a proud African-American woman, I am disappointed and ashamed of the comments some have expressed regarding President Obama and what he should be doing for the Afro-American community. We have a painful reputation of wanting handouts. That thinking needs to end. Even with the presidency achieved, many still can see the glass half empty!

Why does President Obama have to have a special agenda for us? His accomplishment is our victory!

Doesn't he have enough to deal with? He has a country to care for -
not just our neighborhoods! We need to take responsibility for our actions, our schools, our crime, our children, our children, our drug problem, our fatherless families.

Why does our community have to have this reputation? Why should politicians have to be blamed for what goes on in our homes?

I was raised by my aunt. My mother was in and out of prison. I had no relationship with my father, though I knew who he was. I was very lucky I had been involved with my church, and thanks to my aunt, I had to get good grades while I worked part-time jobs. I also had to be home by 10 p.m. My aunt knew nothing but trouble comes after dark. I received several scholarships, and I am now completing my bachelor's degree at Loyola University. I never asked for what can be done for me; I simply did what I needed to do to reach my goals.

The very concept that we continue to need more special treatment is what fuels the race tensions. Yes, I am ashamed. When are we as a nation going to be colorblind? I do not wish to be treated any differently.

What I want is equality. Yes, discrimination exists, but it does for many.
I have seen discrimination against people at my job due to their weight, religion and especially against women! I also must admit I have seen as much discrimination against whites as I have against our race.

When I worked at a government building, I witnessed flagrant displays of reverse discrimination.

As long as we continue to focus on a race-oriented agenda, we are thinking divided. We mimic the very problem with our government and the obvious loyalty to the parties - not the people.

We need to think about Americans as all one family with our own agenda for our country. Let's think united, lets talk united, lets act united!"

Court?

2010-03-19T19:40:00.009-05:00

Lyndon B. Johnson

So - the Republicans are threatening to challenge the constitutionality of health care reform through the courts if it passes.

They can challenge - but they won't win.

The constitutionality of this particular reform is just as "unconstitutional"
as Medicare, technically. If they wanted to be consistent and believable, they would challenge both programs in court. If they had the guts and conviction to do it (which they don't) - we would hear the loud and awful howl of objection that would come from their hypocritical, Medicare accessing, teabagging constituents.

Heads would roll in the GOP for being honest for a change. Life for teabaggers - death for everybody else. Hey - even Republicans like entitlements, especially the kind that keep THEIR lying asses alive and well. Mr. President, Madam Speaker - fuck the Republicans.

Get this thing passed.

Wasn't Medicare signed into law by a Democrat?
Oh yeah - Lyndon B. Johnson.

Hip Hop Is

2010-02-19T20:34:00.086-06:00

Pro-Rudeness (toward Black People - but best manners with whites),
Pro-Disrespect (of Black People),
Pro-Theft (from Black People),
Pro-Rape (of Black Women),
Pro-Minstrelsy (keep white folks laughing and shaking their heads),
Pro-Misogyny (for Black Women only - no words for white women),
Pro-Funeral (murder! The higher the Black body count - the better),
Pro-Filth (Generally),
Pro-Armed Robbery (of Black People),
Pro-Rap (niggers getting paid to tell niggers to kill niggers - put the message on a record - sell a lot - win a Grammy - thank God!),
Pro-Carjacking (baby in the back? Throw him out the window),
Pro-Drive-by Shooting (in Black areas only - white folks shoot back).

Pro-Ignorance (of Everything),
Pro-Nigger (tell the world - "That's my name!"),
Pro-Bitch (A proper and respectful title for all Black Women worldwide - including YOUR MOTHER).

Pro-Ho (the OTHER proper and respectful title for all Black Women worldwide - once again including YOUR MOTHER).

Pro-Mis-Education (got a book? You're "acting white!!!"),
Pro-Black Children (don't raise em', shoot em').

Pro-Gang (for gangstering and abusing and killing Black People only - I notice they don't swagger towards or shoot white people. They also don't bring that shit to solidly white neighborhoods either - white folks have lots of guns and warehouses full of bullets and target practice).

And, last, but not least: Pro-Slavery - for the clothing and sneaker companies ("Ya want me to bend over a little more Sir?").

I am only saying what I see.

"Pro-Slavery? What do you mean?" Ever notice how Hip-Hoppers are always wearing clothing that have advertising on it? These dum-dums
are willing to pay people to be walking billboards for THEIR clothing companies, but not get paid for it themselves in turn (crazy!). Indeed - they are actually paying white folks, and smart Black folks (in the Hip-Hop trick game) to do their product advertising and promotion for them! A whole generation of dummies!

If this ain't self-promoted slavery - I don't know what is.

Look at em' going down the street - Roca-Wear, Tommy Hilfiger, Marithe & Francois Girbaud, Sean John, Louis Vuitton, Apple Bottoms, Baby Phat, etc. And not one of these knuckleheads are getting a dime for walking around with all of this advertising on their persons (I call it "billboard-wear"). If you see "Tommy Hilfiger" on a billboard, and if a Hip-Hopper has that same signage on his back - tell me, what is the difference?

Well - there is a difference: The "Tommy Hilfiger" on the Hip-Hopper's back is actually a more effective advertising vehicle (he is walking around, indoors and outdoors - therefore - more eyeballs are hitting the ad). It is ALL about eyeball hits. The more hits you get - the more you are supposed to get paid (just like Oprah or the Super Bowl - that's how it works). But yet - the typical billboard holder is getting paid thousands of dollars a month (just standing in one spot) - and the typical Hip-Hop dumb ass has just PAID Mr. Hilfiger ($150.00 or more) to do a better job of advertising FOR HIM than the billboard.

That's why Mr. Hilfiger is able to live in a $150 million dollar mansion - and the "fashionable" Hip-Hopper has no clue. The Hip-Hop dummies keep Tommy Hilfiger's and Sean John's, etc. advertising costs down to nearly zero by wearing THEIR ADVERTISING on their backs for free.
One young lady I met had so many "designer" labels on at the same time, she looked like a walking clearance rack.

I asked her: "Where's the check baby?"

It is amazing how someone has maneuvered our young folks into thinking that wearing advertising without compensation is somehow fashion. Good Job! Has ANYONE ever noticed that Mr.Tommy Hilfiger does not wear "Tommy Hilfiger?" As much as Hip-Hop music and street culture talks about getting PAID, it seems to me that the Hip-Hoppers would have figured out this "get-over" a long time ago.

I guess though, if you are stupid enough to tell the whole world that it is OK to refer to yourself and your people by the worst names possible - it should stand to reason that you would also be dumb enough to do advertising and promotion work for free.

The Root Of All Evil?

2010-02-03T12:51:00.041-06:00

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

1 Timothy 6:10 KJV

Just something in my face for fifty-three years that I just happened to notice: If money is “the root of all evil” as the Bible says – why does the dollar bill have “In God We Trust” printed on it? What does that mean in that context? I mean – if I were a Christian, I would naturally be attracted to any useful printed material that had the word “God” on it. Why? Because “God Is Love” right? And love is something that most people want to trust in. Right? But here we have God’s book telling us not to love the very thing that is reminding "we as a people" what we should trust in - that is - in God. Confusing.

It is even more confusing when you have Christians of all denominational stripes doing these two things:

1. When church/state separationists file lawsuits demanding the removal of “In God We Trust” from our currency – the main entities to file counter-suits demanding to keep this phrase printed on “the root of all evil” are churches and Christian organizations. It would seem to me that since money-love IS "the root of all evil" - Christians especially would want to remove this phrase from the currency.

2. Church leaders speaking in conviction of the evil nature of money, but not hesitating to pass around containers to collect it, after they finish their sermons about the dangers of “the love of money.” Some church leaders have TV programs – and even whole networks, whose main purpose (it seems) is to collect money. Billions in some cases.

Clergymen - why would you want to collect a large amount of anything that may induce some to “err from the faith” or cause some individuals to “pierce themselves through with many sorrows?”

"Can’t God provide, Reverend?" “Well, God provides in mysterious ways son.” "I see."

This money thing is getting more confusing by the minute.

OK, help me out here – are there any poor televangelists? No? What about poor but well-known gospel artists? Not poor. What about mega-church pastors? Ain’t short on bread either. What about “Reverend Joe” at the little storefront on the corner? Nice suits – beautiful car. What about poor parishioners? Oh now! Plenty of those! Especially the ones that pray for money. Well, maybe somebody is lying about this “root of all evil.” The ATM's in some of the larger churches and payroll deduction programs for tithes also make me believe somebody is lying about the love. Or maybe everybody is lying.

If Christians really believe that money-love is “the root of all evil” stuff,
I think they should:

1. Stop playing the lottery – there is the possibility of winning. “And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God” (Matthew 19:24 KJV). Christians – do you really want to fuck with your chances of getting into “the kingdom of God” by messing around with the lottery?

2. Stop going to “the boat” (in Illinois we have floating casinos).
95% of the people going to “the boat” are people coming directly from church (on Sunday!!!). Do these people ever consider they are potentially putting themselves into the same kind of jeopardy as playing the lottery? Why would any “saved and sanctified” person want all of that “evil” in their bank account?

3. Stop tithing – since money has such an evil inducing potential –
the last place Christians should want to give it to is a church. Smart Christians that understand this principle don't tithe. Without tithes and other offerings - Christians would greatly reduce the number of clergymen turning themselves over to the devil. The love of God would prevail over the love of money. Christian parishoners would then have less need to pray (then gamble) for money to pay for stuff – you know - like rent, because they would be giving less of this "evil" away to clergymen - and more to capitalists.

This is a good thing - you need to pay your bills anyway.

And lastly, parisioners – think about this - should your pastor’s Bentley really be an essential part of your "spiritual" budget? It takes a lot of "evil" to pay for a car like that.

Pat Robertson Is A Bitch

The Bitch

He can't stand the fact that Black folks fought against white folks for their freedom and won. Do not send this bitch any money. There are other organizations, The Red Cross, Oprah's Angel Network, etc. that you can send money or other resources for Haitian earthquake relief. This motherfucker has no humanity whatsoever.

Fuck Pat Robertson.

That is why we elected you.

Treason

Gov. Rick Perry - the motherfucker with the gun

I do not understand why Texas Governor Rick Perry has not been indicted for treason after promoting the idea of “secession.” Has he lost his mind? Are there federal laws against this? After what this country had gone through during the Civil War – it seems to me there would be. I will have to do research on this. It is one thing for an ordinary citizen to talk about secession – that’s fine – that is plain, everyday “freedom of speech.” But when a state official propagates this kind of - possibly inflaming speech – regarding the forced separation of a state from these United States - it makes this kind of notion "official," and that is something on a totally different level.

This kind of speech – from a governor, is not just politics - it is dangerous. There is too much latent nuttiness in this country that is just waiting for an excuse to shoot-up, blow-up, create havoc, etc. for any state official to expediently support, and to then - on TV - actively disperse this type of reckless language. Any elected or appointed government official that makes a speech supporting secession, or proposes a bill regarding secession to the floor of any legislating body in this country - should be immediately imprisoned (don't waste time, just drag their asses right off the floor). The accused offender should be promptly relieved of his or her office - then tried in a court of law. The entire case can be done before lunch.

Government officials found guilty of this offense should be executed* within five minutes after the verdict. Use a stopwatch. Appeals? Not needed: Why? We have the guilty party in a holding cell. We have the records of the proceedings on the floor, we have the videotapes of any speeches given - and we have the final first verdict. That's enough.

If there is a federal law against this bullshit – it should be enforced. And if there is not one – it should be created.

* NOTE: Damn, sometimes I wish I were not against capital punishment. There are some folks out there that need to be eliminated once and for all. But - I must be consistent in upholding the sanctity of human life. Even when it comes to dealing with folks like this asshole. When I typed "executed" - it was in the heat of anger that I allowed that word to fly off my fingertips.

Secession talk from a public official is quite serious indeed. The last
time that kind of talk flourished - it evolved into a Civil War (1861 - 1865), where a total of 3,164,000 people went to war, 412,200 of those people were wounded or maimed, and 620,000 of those people ended up dead. Not in some foreign land - right here in our front yards. And yes - it can happen again (don't be bullshitted - the war eventually became a conflict against slavery as a strategy - not as a conviction).

That is why dum-dums like Gov. Rick Perry should be indicted and prosecuted for fanning this kind of dangerous speech. Folks like him
do not appreciate the kind of damage that can created from this. It is obvious that he has a blind spot when it comes to American history. Since I am not (really) with execution - a life sentence in solitary confinement will do nicely. Secessionists should not be allowed to talk to anybody - not even in prison. Give him a picture of Mickey Mouse to hang on his cell wall - let his ass talk to that.

A Christian Dialogue - Part 2

2009-11-18T22:52:00.040-06:00

This is part of an e-mail exchange

To Mr. Ward:
I am sympathetic to your position as I used to be an agnostic, however, agnosticism and atheism became no longer as intellectually satisfying as theism. I think that we make inferences to things that are invisible, yet exist. I first came across God, as an agnostic when I saw the Grand Canyon, made love to a woman, and began stargazing. What these experiences led to was the contemplation of the universe.

I have questions. Did it just evolve? From out of what did it evolve from?
If there is nothing a void, then you get nothing. So, did it just pop out of space, like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat? Now that is an evolutionary myth if I ever heard one. In order for evolution to occur (I don't deny the evolution of species, God certainly can use it to bring about life), you need three things: A space, time continuum and matter. Once this is in place, then evolution can occur. Evolution cannot create itself out of nothing; it has to have existing matter, time and space in order to work.

The second law of thermodynamics indicates that the universe has a beginning (Even atheistic astronomers acknowledge this as the “Big Bang”). If the universe has always existed, then an infinite amount of time would have already passed before reaching this present moment. But it cannot be true that an infinite amount of time has passed to get to this point because, according to the second law, the universe, which contains a finite amount of energy, would then be in a state of equilibrium - a cold and lifeless state of absolute rest.

The question that obviously follows is: If the universe has not always existed, then who or what caused it to come into existence?

Astronomers tell us that the universe was tuned at its inception to a precision of greater than sixty decimal places, which is a precision equal to the number ten multiplied by itself more than 60 times. Unless the universe was finely tuned, it would not have worked. But all known natural processes are not tuned that finely, only to seven decimal places.

Only a First Cause with supreme intelligence could have produced such phenomenal accuracy. Brother, God's fingerprints are all over the place!

Don't let your philosophical prejudices blind you from the evidence.

Mr. Ward Replies:
Philosophical prejudice?!! – OK. Well, Sir, let us start here…

There cannot be a First Cause!

Even if you attribute the existence of the universe to a creator,
the decision by that creator to make that "First Cause" is in itself a PRECEDING cause and if so - the "First Cause" then becomes an effect.

That effect would be a link in an endless, complete, and inescapably fused web of cause and effect simultaneity, a condition that would maintain and regulate every attribute and process that this
supposed "creator" may possess, develop, dispense, or dispose,
from this time point - going back. But - if that creator were transcendent, eternally possessed of itself, and beyond natural laws, all the divine capabilities and possibilities as asserted by you, and refuted by me, would be nullified into a silenced impossibility.

Now, let's start nullifying... Your description Sir, of the second law is not indicative of a beginning, but of a closed system. The universe is a dynamic, open system, with infinite reserves and unbounded possibilities. The universe IS the free exchange of mass-energy.

The conversion of mass to energy, and of energy to mass, never stops. The void (energy) produces the visible and/or measurable (mass), and mass itself dissolves, again and again, to become the void. This is a continuous, eternal, and OPEN process that operates with no cessation, no depletion, and no rest.

Now, Sir: There is also a law of thermodynamics that claims energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it changes from one form of energy to another - from electricity to heat for example. Sir: Isn't energy a part of "creation?" If it is - how could an aspect of “creation,” fall outside the possibility of creation? If that is so, such an argument would logically conclude that energy is a separate entity, distinct from the created whole.

If you will remember Sir - energy EQUALS mass times the speed of
light squared. This universe is the un-separable continuum of the equal and un-created.

I personally reject the possibility of the universe being the creation of a
god or any preceding intelligence. If there is or was such an existence, it would have to totally transcend cause and effect. A god that is eternal and transcendent - itself beyond the domain of causality, would have no place or ability to produce a first cause, and therefore could neither create something nor destroy it.

There is also a persisting condition of impermanence, which determines that the very causes and conditions that give rise to phenomena, but is equally revealing of an inherent and permanent universal order, are themselves impermanent and subject to change. Existence is fundamentally empty and non-substantial in nature.

At the same time, this emptiness is infused with countless possibilities for existence. These possibilities are driven to manifestation, by a ubiquitous, eternally reciprocating, causational network of conditional opportunities, for appearances, for transformations, and for temporary periods of non-existence.

In addition, there is a condition of potentiality. This refers to the fact
that something cannot be produced from just anything. For a particular
set of causes or conditions to give rise to a particular set of effects or consequences, there must be some kind of causal relationship between them - this relationship is called RELATIVITY.

Relativity can also be expressed in the term “dependent origination.”
I think that the “origin” of the universe must be understood in terms of the principle of an infinite chain, or better, an endlessly woven fabric of relativistic causation, with no transcendence or preceding intelligence. Causation itself implies no original cause.

If there were a "Big Bang" I would prefer not to think of it as an absolute beginning. Rather, I would like to think of it, until we learn more, as a recurring point of thermodynamic instability – an event in a continuous series of formations, sustains, destructions and renewals. A process stage of the eternal and repeating life cycle of a beginning-less and possibly oscillating universe.

If you look at “creation” this way, you will have, at the very least, a reasonable hypothesis - until we learn more, that renders moot the question of what was before the universe – the question of what was before creation.

The “fine tuning” that you mention, I do not think is something that was done by a god by way of design or construct – this “tuning,” if you will,
I think, is an inherent characteristic of existence. Existence by its very nature tunes, communes, transforms and regulates of and within itself, with no outside initiation or assistance. The tuning of all natural processes are self-calibrated to the same degree as the universe, because they are both at the deepest levels one and the same.

This one and same reality means - the infinity of everything. I think that
the entities of all individual existences within the universal scenario, are seamlessly interpenetrated through and into the entities of all other existences, and this includes the manifest we perceive as "space-time." To me, this is what makes possible the “dependent origination” that I mentioned before.

This brings up a question: If you think a god is adept enough to fine-tune the universe to a precision of “sixty decimal places” or better, why would he stop short before tuning everything else that is contained therein to the same degree? If that is the case - an argument asserting the dissonant condition of individual existences with each other, and then as NOT being tuned to the same degree as the pervading existence, meaning the entire universe as space-time continuum; for me, such an argument does not work.

Existence is oneness: Meaning – the universe simultaneously and indivisibly contains everything including itself; with all individual existences being essentially the same. All things are joined at all existential levels, with mass-energy abiding as the transforming constant – while energy-mass conserves and flows as an endless, singular unity.

So: This supposed dissonance that you assert; Sir – makes no sense either philosophically or scientifically. There are causational and existential inconsistencies in your viewpoint that makes your argument very hard to buy. And, if your argument does not make sense, I must conclude that your assertion is not true, at least until more convincing evidence that concurs by proof or argument or both is presented.

Further, I think it is a mistake at this point in our collective understanding, to automatically default to the “God Did It” hypothesis just because we are not fully clear on how things came to be. At the same time, I think we know enough about the universe, in the beginning of the 21st century, not to have to reference some dusty book of Iron Age superstitions, when it comes to developing a better understanding of the true nature of the universe.

I mean COME ON man - the Bible describes the world as flat!

When it comes to discourse on these matters, no one has ever
produced indisputable evidence, or made an intelligent argument that was convincing to me, explaining that the universe was created in such a way, as to bypass the laws of nature, or to override the processes of cosmic, chemical, and biological evolution.

I think the universe has an inherent, non-conscious, un-created,
all-possessing active intelligence, with my present understanding that is the best way for me to describe it. That “intelligence” is implicit within its eternal existence dynamic, and its incomprehensively-deep energetic structure. Out of this dynamic – we have humanity, whom has emerged at this stage of cosmic evolutionary unfolding. Human life is the point, that this magnificent universal intelligence awakens, and becomes conscious of itself.

This intelligence is simultaneously manifest specific, when you are
looking at other kinds of living beings, or insentient objects. And you see
its various manifestations in the relativistic behavior of existence itself.
The perception of this existence reality, in its ever-changing, majestic, poetically beautiful, and all-powerful universal wholeness – I think is what people MISTAKENLY call God.

What we call life and its activity is an infinite, all-pervasive, eternal, unstoppable and natural universal inherency, regulated and maintained, by an unalterable and uncreated law of cause and effect.

No fingerprints needed.

A Christian Dialogue - Part 1

2009-10-24T02:22:00.655-05:00

This is part of an e-mail exchange.

To Mr. Ward:
You seem to be absolutely negative toward Christianity. I am curious about who you are. What is your experience and cultural background? Please give your views on theism in detail. I am asking you about yourself and your views because of your intriguing responses and commentary. They are atheistic, but they do have a little more to them than just “there is no god.” You also seem to have a working knowledge of science and logic.

There are a few points that you made previously that I am still thinking about. But – brother, even though I am sympathetic to your position, you seem to have no patience with theistic or Christian viewpoints. I would like to know from where this attitude comes from. I am a white protestant – I live in Massachusetts.

Mr. Ward Replies:
Well Sir, I am an African-American that is 52 years old and lives in Chicago. I began wondering about the usefulness of God and Jesus and Christianity at the age of 12. I would observe the racist actions of certain white Christians and the powerless reactions of Black Christians and decided at the age of 14 that there was something wrong with this god shit. I have been a non-believer ever since. One of the best decisions I ever made. I made another decision on 9/11/2001. That was the day I decided to become vocal and uncompromising. After witnessing what a real "faith-based initiative" can, and did do - I am now too shaken to be circumspect or quiet about my Atheism (a freind - Seima Aoyama, died on one of the planes).

I am a proud African-AMERICAN - so out of a humble respect to the memory of what my forebears experienced here in these United States, under the motherfucking cross – I could never be a Christian.

EVER.

The Rant Begins
I fail to understand why so many Black people continue to be Christians – especially when I look at our 400-year physical and mental lock down under its philosophical system. I see Christianity as beneficial only for the loud-suited religious hustlers (including the Pope), the multi-billion dollar Christianity industry, and the lying politicians that have pimped the Black community since the day we landed on these shores.

My analysis and observations have found Christianity to be operating in fact as the religion branch of an international white supremacy system, whose main purpose is to keep certain white groups, organizations and individuals in the dominant power position, and to keep people of color - ignorant, blind, controlled and exploited.

The church itself, is a legally protected, tax-exempt criminal enterprise that extracts billions of real dollars from my community in exchange for less than useless interpretations of scripture, false declarations of "salvation" and un-provable promises of heaven.

Black clergymen are themselves an important part of a worldwide,
lie-dispensing, invigilating, circumscribing collective; making sure that the psychosis-inducing propaganda of Christian doctrine is continuously infused into every area of Black society. They are able to do so freely, without regulative impediment or enlightened dissent.

Hustlers
I know that many of your fellow white people (the leaders, the well-educated, the white clergy and the rich) privately and seriously do not believe in this shit. They do not believe because they are not stupid. But if they SAY they do, it is all part of the game, part of the show, part of the money - part of the politics. And most Black people fall for the gospel game, get the Holy Spirit, and lose the hard-earned money.

Black clergymen are the front-liners in this game; their task is to make sure our minds remain inoperative. This game is played for their personal enrichment and to help maintain the behind the curtain dominance of their political collaborators. Christianity is about money, control and power. So-called salvation has nothing to do with it.

I believe ninety percent of these religious leaders are cynical non-believers (read about Mother Teresa for example – TIME magazine 08/23/2007). Most of them are too intelligent and well studied in the Bible and other disciplines to take a virgin birth seriously. They wouldn’t believe it if it were happening right now - next door. Would you? Huh? OK. None of these illusionists fool neither you or I. There is no way any reasonable and widely read person can do an honest study of the Bible without finding (privately at least) that it is not true, and just full of plain to see nonsense.

There is a strong emphasis in my community on cultivating faith in the unproven, appealing to a supernatural nonentity instead of developing one’s own powers, and maintaining belief without evidence. Black people, out of fear, blind piety, willful stupidity and “this-is-how-I-grew-up-ness,” overlook biblical inconsistencies, untruths and tales of divinely sponsored human abuse without really THINKING about what they are reading. These attitudes make it easy for the hustlers.

The best hustlers serve-up an elixir called “good preaching.” This is a sweet, but evil concoction; a conniving mix of artfully delivered oration, strategic music staging, hyper-emotionality, laid-on guilt, fear-inducement, obedience-training, scripture-whipping and really big lies, seasoned to audience with a sprinkling of some extra-biblical truths - the sprinkling of those truths.makes this stuff easier for otherwise reasonable people to swallow.

When this sweet elixir is preached, and consumed, it targets the brain. Once in the brain, it quickly transmutes into a poison that can move a sensible mind away from sense making and into playing these irrational, limiting, self-duplicitous, “Correct Interpretation” thought games. Intelligent questioning of hustlers and critical examination of sermons are not permitted ("you don't question God").

Well-educated hustlers utilize special textual re-do techniques, that are described in theology textbooks as either “hermeneutics” or “apologetics.” These are useful disciplines that enable clergymen to smoothly cover-up, skip-over or re-message biblical lies, inaccuracies and atrocities. A re-messaging is sermonized to a congregation as a “revealed truth.” The pastor is the ONLY ONE in the room that receives it from on high. He then brings it down to his flock in his singular role as “messenger.” After this revered “messenger” accomplishes his delivery of god’s latest hit, HE is the only one that gets paid. And paid. And paid. And paid...

And there goes the money. Each year, billions of dollars from my community disappear down a clerical “black hole.” The Black church is partly responsible (oh yes it motherfucking is) for the wretched condition that many Black neighborhoods are in. This money is used by the pastor to purchase expensive clothing and automobiles, finance lavish residences, and in some cases, maintain private jets too ("Oh... I don't own the jet - it's owned by the church. Ahh... so I can do more of the Lord's work").

The money is also used to purchase finery for the pastor's wife and mistress, ensure college educations for the pastor's legitimate and illegitimate children, pay for escort services, bankroll entertainment at strip clubs and casinos, keep homosexual affairs quiet, and to build more impressive church facilities, so a larger number of suckers can be taken-in.

The charitable and community service expenditures that churches make are actually a form of marketing. The whole church set-up (the preaching, the music, the venue, the lies) is marketing. This marketing is so well done, that even those that are not particularly religious can be compelled to donate money, time, services, etc. All received tax-free by the church. Charity expenses are actually the smallest part of the marketing budget - but it is extremely effective in promoting the false idea that "doing good works" is one of the main priorities of the church.

The "good works" idea also serves to deflect criticism. The various "ministries" that you see in some of the larger churches are an extension and refinement of the same function.

Correct Interpretation
“Correct Interpretation” is a proven tool that sets people up for tithing and the collection of “offerings” of various kinds. “Prosperity” and “Afro-centric” ministries are at this time making the most profitable use of “Correct Interpretation” methods. The “revealed” hidden meanings or the “Correct Interpretation” of specific Bible verses vary widely from church to church – and all clergymen of whatever denominational ilk, claim to receive these individually transmitted, specifically tailored, completely incongruent “revelations.” The rest of us get no conference calls from God.

These divine transmissions are usually captured through some kind of “dream,” or right in the middle of eating the No.3 Big Mac special at McDonald's.

Focusing for a moment, on the question of "revealed meanings," I have always wanted to know - if the Bible itself is SO clear, why are there so many different interpretations? Why are there so many denominations?
In America alone, there are 38,168 different Christian denominations and sects (42,874 worldwide).

Why does the so-called "revealed and anointed" unchanging word of God (is it?) have to be "re-revealed" each Sunday, times the number of churches in the world, each one resonant, with a unique pastoral and/or denominational perception of that word, preached in righteous certainty, per church? Huh?

Is a clear, direct and trans-denominationally consistent revelational message, delivered to all preachers equally, even possible from God? Everyone says "God is the ONE God." One God, but not one message? What is the "correct interpretation" of that message? Is it the one your pastor makes? Oh..! Some say: "My church is the right one!" OK... By what standard do you make that assessment? Haven't you ever asked yourself about this?

THIS CHURCH - “God hates fags!” THAT CHURCH - “God loves fags!” Which one? How would I know?

I'm A Virgin - You're A Slave
It is amazing how otherwise reasonable and logical people can be seduced into “belief” in a virgin birth, walking on water, the universe being created in six days, folks rising from the dead, the Great Flood affair, etcetera, while ignoring explicit God-given warrants for all kinds of unjustified discrimination and human abuse. Look at God’s OK and regulations for the dehumanizing practice of slavery in Leviticus for example (25:44–46, KJV), Titus (2:9–10, KJV) in the New Testament and elsewhere in the Bible.

The Ten Commandments (Ex. 20:3-17, KJV) tells us not to work slaves on the Sabbath, but says nothing about not enslaving anyone. Some people say these commandments should be followed as some kind of moral standard. Should I get some slaves? There are no non-enslavement injunctions anywhere in the Bible, but, plenty of support for the practice, with no expiration date. And after what has been done to Black people in this country, under Christian ruler-ship – any kind of church participation on my part, is not an option.

Hustlers And Liberation Theology
Certain clergymen are trend savvy and observant of their congregations. Smart hustlers [clergymen] are constantly seeking refinement in their presentations: Hands go up - “Ah, Professor, what is the best METHOD to keep my dumb-assed flock tithing generously and in the church?” The Professor responds: “Liberation Theology is the answer pastor! I’ll show you how to DO IT in the next class.”

Let us clear our throats folks… AHEM! “Liberation” and “Theology” are opposing concepts that are not supposed to work together, and never will. Any assertion that they do is pure, un-pasteurized bullshit. I want my dear Black folks to pick-up a dictionary, and look-up the word "oxymoron" - just to see with their own eyes if it applies here. Because it does. The dirty lie of “Liberation Theology” is merely an update to the instruction book of effective congregation fleecing techniques.

There is no liberation in any philosophy that consistently trains my people to seek future “heaven,” or to "pray for an answer," or to chase after "holy spirits," and to then blindly hand over here and now control of our precious community resources, education, housing, base economy, media and unique markets to others. The actual purpose of "Theology" is to teach (and sometimes force) obedience - not freedom. "Revelation" - not enligtenment... And "Liberation" - from your wallet - to the pastor's, is why the largest and most profitable Black-owned business in the Black community – is the church!

It is a shame on the part of Black people that this is NOT an embarrassment.

“Liberation Theology” is the best refinement (so far) of an indoctrination process that implants and sustains the proud to be powerless mindset (you know - “I can’t wipe my ass without Jesus”) that flourishes within the Black community. Nobody thinks about opening a coffee shop themselves (“Oh man, Starbucks needs to come in and do something”). Nobody thinks about forming a team to possibly harness the “power of Jesus” and build a better grocery store in the community: “They need to give us access to healthier food.”

"THEY NEED TO GIVE US?" OK... Is this how 'Liberation Theology' is supposed to work?"

Sharp Orange Shoes
Could anyone please tell me from what establishment are Black clergymen purchasing those sharp orange shoes that match their beautiful orange suits (you know - the kind that have twelve buttons and the bottoms of the jackets end below the knees)? Amazing! And what is that "stuff" that Black pastors are always putting in their hair? Is it grease or gel - or some kind of oil? What is that shit? Since you're a white guy, you probably don't know. But being a Christian... Hey - you never know.

Return On Investment
The Christianity business has an extremely high return on investment for clergy. In the Black community Christianity is the most common and at the same time the most profitable Black-owned business. Have you ever noticed the large number of ex-pimps and released felons that go into the Christianity business? And why not? Christianity is the pimp game made legal. You can BE a criminal without being called one. Robbery without guns! Lies without lawsuits! Income without taxes!

Not bad – maybe I should open a church.

How many other professions do you know of where you can step onto a podium, claim divine assignment and authorization with no legal, third-party or even peer reviewed verification, propagate stupid, useless nonsense without challenge – and get paid for it. Incredible.

Oh – and don’t forget to throw in some good music!

Not Enough Churches
I sometimes wonder if my people are capable of building anything other than churches. We are somehow handcuffed when it comes to creating businesses or building good housing – but a goddamned church – HEY, NO PROBLEM! And now - we are doing mega-churches (for mega-suckers, I guess). I even heard a crazy Black evangelist actually say: "We don't have enough churches." Wow..!

There is a condition that I have consistently observed throughout this country that I would love pastors to answer to, or explain. I have noticed that whenever there is a high concentration of church facilities, there is simultaneously a high concentration of the ugliest human pathologies apparent within that area. Then - (as a response maybe?) even more churches are built (because more "salvation and healing" is needed - I guess) - and then, in parallel with the increased number of churches, those same burning pathologies expand and intensify (drug abuse, rape, murder, prostitution, robbery, teen pregnancy, etc.). There seems to be a pattern here.

It looks like (I could be mistaken - but it LOOKS like...) the presence of churches either create and/or attract pathologies. The Catholic Church itself for example - has historically been shown to be quite dangerous for children - with its nasty, centuries-old tradition of sodomy child rape. I have noticed this same deep, persisting condition in Hispanic communities also. Whenever you see a large number of churches concentrated within a particular neighborhood or city - it seems to be a near guarantee that you are standing in a high-crime area.

Atlanta, Georgia has one of the highest concentrations of churches of any major American city. It also has one of the highest concentrations of strip clubs, prostitutes, and "escorts" of any American city. It is one of the most convienient cities for committing a sin - then confessing that sin, so that Jesus may pay the price. In Atlanta, everything is well located. The strip clubs are all less than 10 minutes from the nearest church. So you can efficiently complete as many 24-hour sin/repent cycles as you like... That way, you can get your rocks off at THIS place. Shower... Stop-off at THAT place to cleanse your soul... Done..! All before you start work...

Nice.

Conversely - it seems like the better the neighborhood or city is - the harder it is to find a church. Pastors tell us that being in or near the house of the Lord is a positive influence. So tell me - how many churches are there in say - Beverly Hills, California, or Kenilworth, Illinois, or even Jupiter Island, Florida? All of these very wealthy areas - there should be churches on top on churches in these places - you would think... NOT.

Hey - I have seen affluent people consistently vote AGAINST churches being built in their areas. Not that they don't exist in those places - but there are very, very few. Beverly Hills, California has only sixteen churches listed - with a population of 34,980 (median home price - $2.2 million). The "positive influence" of those seven little churches must be powerful as hell! "If you can't feel the holy spirit in Beverly Hills California, my brother... It's time for you to get saved!!!" The wealthiest enclaves (worldwide) seem to have no churches at all.

Let's do the numbers - Beverly Hills, California - low crime/high income, 16 churches, pop. 34,980 (1 church per 2186 people). Compton, California - high crime/low income, 155 churches, pop. 93,493 (1 church per 603 people).

Maybe the rich folks understand a few things that the rest of us don't.

The Awakening
Black clergymen are always in front of TV cameras whining about “the lack of opportunities” in the Black community and how Black people “need more jobs.” I would like nigger pastors to answer this - how is it that everybody that is not part of the Black community can walk in and find “opportunities” on every corner and those opportunities do not involve selling drugs or "hustling" in some manner?

If this god that we ceaselessly invoke, is so merciful and powerful – why has HE not awakened Black people to the wisdom of exploiting their own markets, owning their community and doing for self? To be sure, Black people do pray enough. We definitely have more churches per capita than everybody else. We do aggressively read the Bible. We do listen with our hearts and souls to wonderful gospel music. Everywhere you turn in my community - Jesus this! Lord that!

Now, Sir - with my Black people filled-up to our collective brims with all of these quiescent “spiritual” reserves, why have we not been able to convert all of this latent “spiritual power” into the concrete practicality of self-sufficiency, fraternity, operational cohesiveness, and trash can utilization within the Black community? Why? After all, we both know that Black folks are “blessed and highly favored.”

Are they? “Brother - shall we take my limousine or should we take your limousine?”

Look! This is the same god that could create a universe in six days. Could flood the entire surface of the earth for 40 days and 40 nights. He could split the sea to allow escaping slaves to pass. But - he can’t handle this? And this is supposed to be a god of miracles? How could it be that the ones that seem to pray the most, always have to go begging the ones that seem to pray the least – and then for just a job?

What gives? How can Black people ACTUALIZE the "Liberation" that is supposedly preached about in the "Theology?" More prayer? More tithing? Is actualization possible for us? And if it is - why has it not so far - happened for us? It certainly has happened for everybody else - and it has happened for them without "Liberation Theology" or any other Christian infusions - being brought to the planning table.

The Koreans, Arabs, Jews, Italians, Cocker Spaniels, you name it – can somehow see an underserved Black market (without any declared help from "The Lord"), can open a store in the Black community, can make enough money to send THEIR children to college and even get rich from selling in the Black community.

They do it without “the athletes and entertainers” coming in to provide financing and they don’t march on city hall chanting about a “right to a job.” You don't see any rusty-assed preachers at the table when it is time for them to negotiate their BUSINESS. Also - they don’t call upon another community to do what they as men need to do.

They don’t waste time attempting to build “coalitions,” or arranging meetings with anybody to dialogue about “race relations.” They plan, save, prepare and execute. They accomplish all these things with no clerical assistance or “spiritual” advisement. Fuck a "race relation" - they stand on their own two feet and it shows.

What god are the Koreans praying to?

Independent Thinking
The Black church cannot prosper without large numbers of people auto-cultivating a dependent and ignorant mindset. The more independent thinking, self-sufficient and educated one is, the less he finds a need for a pastor. Let us do a search. Where is:

Bill Gates’ pastor?

Warren Buffett’s pastor?

Donald Trump’s pastor?

Maybe independent thinkers don't need pastors.

Black pastors always encourage menial job-seeking and marching instead of studying, planning, ownership strategy and business creation. You develop where you place your attention. Instead of encouraging Business 101, these NIGGERS give us midnight basketball and Bible study – you know, to “keep us off the streets.” Think about this: The Asian folks are up at midnight studying economic theory - the Black folks are up at midnight playing basketball.

Who is going to be running who?

Pastors don’t like Black folks to read too widely – unless we are reading the stupid-assed Bible or material that supports that pastor’s particular theological viewpoint. Books on science or philosophy or anything that may cause us to doubt or think critically does not serve the church and are falsely disparaged by clergy as “the devils work.” Thinking mitigates church revenues.

Little Boys Behinds
The Catholic Church is a legally protected haven for pedophiles. This church - even though it cannot control it's own insatiable appetite for little boys behinds - attempts to control the rest of society by the unwelcome imposition through secular law of some fake-assed “moral authority.” In the majority of the Western countries it once flourished in - the stench emanating from its doors has become intolerable, and many have left. So - its propagation efforts are now being successfully focused on Africa and the rest of the Third World.

At this time - most Christians in Africa are Catholic. The Catholic Church itself is the most immoral and corrupt Christian organization in the world. Its creepy, low-blow, propagation efforts in Africa are supported by First World governments, in order to make sure African Third World countries remain in the Third World.

As an example of this, look at how the Pope is running around in the most HIV ravaged areas of Africa to dispense his infallible wisdom on the sinfulness of condom use. Politicians remind us that the Pope preaches morality and peace. Telling people not to use condoms is moral? But then - we can suppose that if enough infected people die in certain areas of the world, peace can be expeditiously attained.

Tell me Sir - how does Catholic clergy know so much about sex - and they are not supposed to be fucking? They will talk about sex - even when they are not talking about sex. They are obsessed with who is doing it, whom they are doing it to, and in what context. But celebacy itself is kinda kinky - if you really think about it... I mean... What do you do with your hands? And the first claim of Catholic faith starts from the sweet, clean, immaculate condition of Mary's hot - holy pussy.

Any guy would like to get a whiff of that.

The Virgin Mary - pregnant but unfucked? My mind boggles just thinking about how hot that is. You mean to tell me, all the Holy Spirit had to do was blow on this bitch? I wonder if she wears panties? Did her "husband" Joseph ever get any? No? Just a handjob? OK... Maybe that is why such large numbers of Catholic men rush home to take cold showers after mass. Whew! And the Pope himself wears a long white dress (with lace and shit). Check it out - the whole thing is just freaky.

Could you imagine presenting your own daughter to folks this way? "... And now everybody - I would like to introduce my eldest daughter - The Virgin Shaquita."

I mean - seriously... "Do we really need to know the condition of your pussy BEFORE you tell us your name?"

Now, with the Vatican talking about all of this immaculate sexual morality bullshit - somehow, the Catholic preisthood has the latitude and propensity to party in the the way that they tell you not to. Abstenence for you - but not for clergy? This shows how greedy the Catholic Church is - they want to keep all the booty to themselves.

Just greedy.

And with that - I shudder to think how many fresh, young, untouched behinds in Third World countries are in danger of being "blessed."

"Sir - why do you walk that way?" "I'm Catholic - leave me alone!"

The real history of the relationship between the Catholic Church and Black enslavement is solid, sordid, and documented. Why are there Black Catholics? I could never understand that. This is the same church that had to rack their brains, trying to figure out whether or not Black people were "human." (Don't be bullshitted) This church then sanctioned and blessed the slave trade when they decided we were not. I would be suicidally embarrased to tell anyone that I was "Catholic."

Conservative White Christians
Most conservative Christian whites become concerned when they encounter any African-American that is not a Christian. I don't blame them for being concerned... Just look at the way I talk.

Biblical Submission
Well-meaning Black people and tricky preachers always attempt to beat non-believers back into biblical submission. Community pressure stays on autopilot in this regard – Black folks keeping Black folks in line: "Stay narrow minded son, and always remember to be irrationally respectful of whiteness. You must choose to cultivate powerlessness, and be sure to practice every day at being confused and ignorant, because as you know, those are skills you'll really need in the long run - you stupid fuck."

Another aspect of biblical submission is the dumb-assed situation that Black polititians, intellectuals, professionals, and businesspeople find themselves "caught-up" in: They have to play the "I-believe-in-Jesus" game (even if they don't) in order to get business, respect, votes, and the perception of credibility from Black people. This is so discriminatory and unfair. I see these guys in different venues doing their religious pandering, while passing-out their business cards - some of them look like they're in real pain while they are bullshitting people with stuff they know ain't true, just to get business ("Jesus is my business partner" - shit like that).

Pious Black people will quickly dis-invite unbelieving Black folks from events, clubs, and organizations. They will prevent them from speaking or teaching. I've seen this. Nigger Christians will even attempt to get certain Black individuals fired from their employment, if they find those Black persons to be non-Christian. "Well... It's the Christian thing to do."

White folks, Asians, and Arabs don't have to pass any religious tests in order to get business or votes from Black folks. It's crazy... Black folks do this to each other all the time - but I have never heard of any Black person making a demand to find out what is the religion of the owners of Chanel, or Louis Vuitton, or Versace, or any non-Black owned business. Never.

"What's our religion??? Ahh... SECURITY!!!"

"Ah, Sister... Do you use a computer? Well - what the hell is Bill Gates religion? New shoes? The founder of NIKE - what's his religion?.. Maybe it's the shoe god? Huh? OK. The Korean owner of the beauty supply on the corner - the one that you buy something from at least three times a week? What's his religion? You don't know? Why haven't you asked? Because you certainly asked that brother that just opened the beautiful cafe down the street, and when you found out he wasn't "saved" you told him you are not going to patronize him. So... You go to Starbucks now? OK... Well, Sister... What is Starbucks religion? You don't know?.. OK."

Christianity is the internally destructive driver, that forces Black people to force other Black people to jump through hoops that we don't demand any other groups to jump through before we hand over our support or money.

White folks, Arabs, and Asians are laughing their asses off every day - right to the motherfucking BANK.

Deprogramming And You
White supremacists (Pat Buchanan/Rush Limbaugh types) know it is hard to control people of color that are not Christians, even if they believe in some kind of god (Remember Malcolm X?). A person of color that is not Christian usually needs a lot more work to fool, dominate and fleece. At the same time - and you know this Sir; that, whenever well-educated white folks encounter other white folks that REALLY, openly, believe this stuff, they label them as "nuts" or "fanatics" or "Jesus Freaks" and look down on them as possible candidates for psychiatric assistance.

"Is Bill OK?"

Concerned white parents of means will take their "Bible-believing" children to high-priced specialists to be "deprogrammed." Think about this: If something is really "the truth" - why would anyone need or want to be "deprogrammed" out of it? Right? I mean - if it is really the truth. "You're a 'math freak' son, we'll have to get you deprogrammed." Isn't "truth" the best basis for living your life? Could it be that - maybe this ain't the truth? And some folks are - maybe - pretending that it is? And they don't want their own kids "caught-up" in bullshit?

I have noticed that white people never label people of color, that are Christian, no matter how "god-intoxicated" or irrationally religious they may be, as "fanatics" (I haven't seen it). I sincerely know that most (97%) Black Americans are in dire need of "deprogramming." You are white: Sir, what do you think?

Have YOUR children been "deprogrammed?"

This duplicitousness really bothers me: The way well-educated white people in power (or conservative proxies of color like author Dinesh D'Souza) and/or means will get on TV, print, etcetera, and tell folks of color about the "rightness" of Christian belief - but when their own children actually take those very beliefs to heart, the same folks will pay big money (to a motherfucking specialist no less) to get their children "deprogrammed" out of it... In-doctrination for Black kids - de-doctrination for white kids.

Interesting.

Look Up And Tithe
Christianity makes you look up instead of around. Good pastors know that believers are easier to set-up for tithing when they are looking up. Tithing is for suckers. If you were to take all your money out of your wallet and burn it – you would be getting more out of that money than giving it to a pastor. Preaching equals fleecing. Why do you think congregations are called flocks? And, if tithing is such a good and wonderful thing – I ask: "To what church does Creflo Dollar tithe? Does he tithe? To whom does the Pope tithe? Oh... Don't ask?"

"That's what I said brother... Don't ask."

Leviticus 18:22
I’m sitting here in my living room and a Black clergyman is welcoming me to the neighborhood (?) trying to preach to me about some “moral standards” he probably can’t live up to himself - and making a "by-the-way" request of a donation for some "ministry." A slick white Christian conservative cynic is being interviewed at the same moment on TV - with his motherfucking capped teeth and hair-sprayed hairdo - talking about some made-up right-wing garbage regarding “Family Values” (what?) and “The Gay Agenda.”

Please.

Many of these white evangelical pastors have bathhouse secrets of their own. These (married) guys travel everywhere with several tubes of "K-Y Gel" (a must) or big "Sam's Club" sized jars of "Vaseline." I've heard they "shower" a lot. They then have the dirty nerve to sermon openly racist political agendas on top of that. Nigger pastors put on hats and large dark sunglasses to go "down low." After Wednesday night Bible study - you can see them driving real slow through alleys and side streets at 2AM (with the lights off) to get to the bathouse. These niggers will be well served upon arrival - your hard-earned tithes pay for their blowjobs.

"Hey Rev - don’t forget to shower motherfucker!”

Guns And Jesus
The white Christian Identity movement is to me the most fascinating and the most confusing part of all Christendom. They want to purify this country through the (Nazi-like) subjugation and extermination of all liberals, homosexuals, Jews, Democrats, socialists and people of color, even if they are Christians! The most rabid Christian Identity homophobic ranters always turn out to be in the closet themselves.

At the same time, they preach a loving and beautiful theology that reveals the deep spiritual connection between God and guns. Jesus can be found in a box of ammunition. So let us pray: “Deeear Gaaad! Bull-less White Merree-ca only and to HELL with everrrbody else! Aaay-men!!!” Nobody can tell me these people are not inclusive.

Slavery, lynching (Oops!), Jim Crow and police dogs in America.
In God We Trust and segregation with taxes.

Now…where is Jesus when you REALLY need him?

“I’m Here – kidnapping you from your homeland, enslaving you, raping you, Jim Crowing you, Ku Klux Klanning you, arresting you, cheating you, creating new words to identify you and doing everything negative and exploitative that I can think of to you EACH AND EVERY DAY – uh, that’s on the one hand: But Look! On the other hand - I am giving you something that will save your soul.”

Get the fuck out of here.

Let's March
Lastly Sir, I believe Christianity to be the main source in the Black community of the rampant ignorance, self-destructiveness, delusional thinking, hopelessness, economic dysfunction, anti-literacy attitudes, widespread political absentia, a-historicity, intellectual suspension, fratricidal criminality, unscientific reasoning, mysogyny, homophobic discrimination, and unquestioned deference to and fear of white people. Community disunity is maintained partly through an ugly but beautifully effective denominationalism. All of these specifics are major impediments to Black progress.

I watch these fucking preachers and politicians talk their “faith-based” moralistic nonsense, attempting to demolish the separation between church and state. I see right-wing conservative politicians rake in their “faith-based” PAC money and receive their “faith-based” votes – from which their ignorant supporters believe they have given these legislators some kind of “divinely-inspired mandate” to make the Bible the 28th Amendment. I see these same politicians and their preacher collaborators, brazenly appropriating our secular purposed taxes for clearly unconstitutional “faith-based initiatives” and “programs.”

Then - I see them BOTH get busted with their “faith-based” mistresses.

I cry every day for my people. These guys and their biblical bullshit keep my people running around in circles. And when we are not running - instead of thinking, planning, investing and building,

WE’RE MARCHING.

New Thought Christianity

2009-10-16T15:47:00.012-05:00

Positive proof there was something wrong with the previous thought.
The original thought didn't have much going for it either. Nothing but a think-tank twist on the same trick stuff. Bring it to me if you like, it will be promptly shut down. Clergymen occasionally need to freshen-up the look of an already lucrative product. That is marketing 101 folks. If that product is Christianity, whatever flavor you have, new thought or old thought - conservative, moderate or progressive, it was, it is still, and always will be - bullshit.

May I finish my beer now?

Unity Between The Races

2009-10-16T09:53:00.010-05:00

Have you ever noticed that "gangsta" rappers, street gang members,
and the Ku Klux Klan are in total agreement with "the only good nigger is a dead nigger" philosophy? I never thought I would see the day when Southern racists and urban Black youth would find themselves in such harmonious accord about the same thing.

Things are getting better in this country.

FOX "News?"

2009-10-12T22:02:00.068-05:00

The FOX News channel is the television ministry of the Republican Party. Its mission is to destroy President Obama. A misinformation machine par excellence, designed specifically to cater to the conservative, white, Christian, gun-toting, nitwit set.

The nasty teabagger movement was instigated and directed by the FOX network. Most of the participants will also self-identify as "dittoheads" if asked, or will at least let it be known that they are "in agreement" with hyper-conservative freak Rush Limbaugh - an opinionated asshole who broadcasts his trash opinions over the GOP radio ministry, the "Excellence In Broadcasting" (yuk-yuk) or "EIB" network.

The psychotic Glenn Beck, and stealth racist Sean Hannity are the most popular poison spreaders on the FOX channel. These guys are backed-up and reiterated by second stringer loudmouth Bill O'Reilly, as he spins away in his "No-Spin-Zone." Tune in sometime. Keep some Rolaids and a barf-bag nearby - just in case. If you have ANY brain cells whatsoever, you will ask yourself: "This is news?"

Rush Limbaugh - even though he does not broadcast through FOX,
is the de-facto leader of the Republican Party, and the biggest on-air bullshit generator. It seems like all three of these fuckers (Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh) are on a speed-dial daisy chain, and regularly have drinks together, so they may compare and exchange notes. They may be, for all we know. Ever notice how these guys "riff" off each other? Even though they broadcast through two different networks, on three different shows, their messages are unified, consistent, and pointed.

Michael Steele? Please. Republican window dressing. Diversity on the fly. He needs to sit his stupid ass down. Every time Sean Hannity interviews Mr. Steele or does commentary about him, Hannity has this "look-at-this-dumb-nigger" look on his face. Hannity is so racist - he can't even affect a serious pose for five minutes. It's a fucking joke.

The FOX network is a propaganda sewerhole - and millions of conservative knuckleheads tune in each day. And this is where they get their "news." If you ever want to do a study of the relationship between intentionally misleading media influences, and the sustained political ignorance that we find in our American society today, the FOX News network would be a good place to start. No wonder the "teabaggers" are so agitated.

Hitler would love FOX News.

The Johnson Family

2009-10-11T02:08:00.016-05:00

"I've got a $1,250.00 mortgage payment to make. In two days, it will
be late. But I didn't tithe last week. My job cut my hours. My tithe commitment is $250.00 a week - I promised my pastor I would stick with my commitment to my church. Goodness, I know God needs the money. A house is only of this world. I want to make sure I do what I am supposed to do to secure my eternal place in heaven.

I don't want to be struck down or sent to hell for breaking my promise to the Lord. God needs the money. I told my wife I was going to mail the mortgage payment today. I don't feel very good. I wonder if I could call the bank and work out something. Our Loan Officer had a cross around her neck, I hope she's saved. Maybe she will understand that I really need to give $500.00 of this money to my church for Jesus.

My Lord, my Lord. Let me pray about this."

A Reply To The Devoted Wife - In Five Quotes

2009-09-22T23:01:00.133-05:00

Recently, Roxanne Wilson, the devoted wife of Joe “You Lie” Wilson, made a lovely video, in an attempt to help calm the furor over the Congressman’s loud seizure. The video can be seen at her husband’s website: http://www.joewilsonforcongress.com/, and on YouTube (here). Bring a box of tissues and tune in, the video is quite touching – I almost cried myself. I had to watch it several times so that I could pull a few random quotes out and examine them closely.

Now – Roxanne Wilson is an amazing Republican spouse; she can talk as much crap as her husband. She even tops him in certain respects, because unlike him, she can actually sound sincere. She almost had me fooled! I swear – you could hear the motherfucking violins playing as she spoke. After her husband is voted out of office, she should run. You know – to keep the seat in the family. Here is my response:

Roxanne,

I saw your video. You got to me. And I hope things will get better for you and Joe. This is crazy. I mean, having to deal with all this unnecessary attention. This will pass. But while we are on the subject, I would like to go over a few things that you said – just to make sure I am clear on the message you are attempting to convey.

QUOTE ONE: “I am very appreciative of the President, accepting his apology. And I think the President has been very gracious to my husband in accepting his apology.”

Are you telling me that when the President told your husband that he accepted his apology, old Joe did not yell “You Lie” this time? Are you sure? That would be hard to believe – given Joe’s passionate and uncontrollable reactions that are otherwise shown when it comes to him hearing any civilized statements from the President.

QUOTE TWO: “My husband doesn’t deserve the treatment that he’s getting from congress.”

OK. What treatment does your husband deserve from congress? Let’s talk Southern for a moment. Let us dial the clock back to say – 1956. Why 1956? Because the present-day white Republican sense of how society should be ordered references from that period. OK. Now, what would some “uppity N-word" deserve (in your mind) if he had interrupted a white man, while that white man was - let's say - ordering coffee? What would have actually happened?

How? Day? Night? Rope? Chain? Fire? Dogs? Bats? Bullets?

What would your white Southern mind think would be deserved if that were President Joe Wilson speaking to a Joint Session of Congress, and that goddamned “uppity N-word" (oh... Let's just say it - NIGGER) Senator Barack “HOOsayne” Obama had spoken out in the same knuckleheaded manner? Would YOUR husband have been as gracious as President Obama? What would the majority of the white Republican South think HE deserved? How much time do you think would have passed before he was shot or lynched?

QUOTE THREE: “Joe’s a wonderful father. Um, he adores his family – he adores the boys.”

I am sure he is a good father, and “adores” his sons. But what has that got to do with how he feels about Black people in general, and the President in particular? “Heritage” minded Confederate fathers have always loved their sons for a good reason – who else is going to keep the notion of white supremacy alive?

"Now son - it's important to get the rope nice and tight, so that the neck snaps immediately when you let the feet go..." Right?

And... What has adoring his family got to do with Daddy Joe violating House Rule No. 370?

"Rule 370? What is that?"

Allow me to cite directly from the House Rules dear:

“… the [House] rules do not permit the use of language that is personally offensive to the President. Manual § 370; 5 Hinds § 5094. For example, it is out of order to call the President a “liar” or a “hypocrite” … Manual § 370; 8 Cannon § 2498; Deschler-Brown Ch 29 § 47.16… Members must abstain from personally offensive language [to the President] even during impeachment proceedings. Manual § 370.”

Hmm, seems like pretty clear language to me – and I am not a member of the House.

Your husband has represented the 2nd Congressional District of South Carolina since 2001 – did he ever read the rulebook? Or, could it be that he does know the rulebook – and he assumed those rules could be ignored when communicating to a Black President? And - is it possible he assumed that because he is white, he would have immunity from criticism or censure if he broke those rules? Well, please inform your husband that this is not 1956. There are no police dogs or fire hoses to back-up racist intentions anymore. He can be taken down (by niggers) in 2009 – and I (a nigger) will make sure that he never opens his Confederate-powered mouth again without receiving the proper blogosphereric blowback.

QUOTE FOUR: “He’s got an incredible work ethic.”

That’s good to know. Too bad he does not also have an incredible
race ethic – with him being from South Carolina - that would be saying something. But since he does, as you claim, have this “incredible work ethic," maybe he could insert a little time in his busy schedule to READ THE FUCKING HOUSE RULES. And possibly - during his book-bound quietude, deeply contemplating what he has read, maybe he can reflect on the fact that those rules universally apply, no matter whatever race the President is, or whatever race the Congressman is.

Period.

In this country, you have the freedom to hold and express racist ideas
all you like, but as a member of Congress, you are rightly expected by
the House, and the people, during certain occasions, to keep a grip on yourself, and to maintain the decorum that is fitting for a member of that exclusive body. But Roxanne - I am not a hardass. I'll cut him some slack. Maybe the motherfucker forgot?

QUOTE FIVE: “In the town hall meetings that Joe held, people were passionate. They’re concerned, they’re worried, they’re upset.”

But Roxanne – of course they’re upset. If you are a backwoods born, Confederate flag waving “Real American” – that is still reeling because
this country has “lost its mind” and elected a “Nigger President” – and
with your already ignorant right-wing marinated brain being loaded on a daily basis, with more right-wing ignorance by the likes of Glenn Beck
and Rush Limbaugh – and with your husband in his capacity as a U.S. Congressman, giving official sanction, and reiteration to this same ignorant nonsense – and if all of your so-called “news” comes from FOX News, and if you don’t know any better, or if you don’t tune-in to or read anything else – then yes, you would be “upset” also.

The “upset” ones are the majority of the people that are showing-up at these “town hall” meetings. The remaining fifteen per cent are – serious people whom are actually interested in reforming health care, or paid agitators, dispatched from insurance companies to purposely stir-up discord, thereby keeping the serious folks from talking, and making the “upset” ones more upset. You also have the people that have other messages to bring forward with their open display of guns, appearing alongside those good Americans that carry signs threatening the President with assassination. And finally – we have the usual stupid
Black Republicans.

A professional party planner could not have come up with a better mix.

Your husband committed a deliberate act of contempt and insolence toward THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. This action was a keynote to the flag-wavers, and a further provision of cover for the insurance companies that want to kill the public option. Nasty.

Joe Wilson will forever be a caricature in American political history.

Roxanne – if you and your husband are truly concerned about those people’s “concern,” then you and he could atone for Joe’s “You Lie” craziness by telling them the truth for a change, thereby helping America move away from racist politics. How about some real caring in instructing your constituents? So that they may stop being the unwitting tools of the insurance companies, and working against their own better interests.

If husband Joe was out there actually doing the politics of caring, instead of doing base-appealing through making politically expedient racist gaffes; you Roxanne, could then spare the country from any more of your apologetic video propaganda.

Thank you so much for reading my reply. Have a nice day!

Joe's Bones

2009-09-18T13:23:00.069-05:00

In response to former President Jimmy Carter’s correct assertion that Congressman Joe Wilson’s “You Lie!” outburst was racist, Joe’s son Alan Wilson retorts: “There is not a racist bone in my dad’s body!”

Now - as far as my limited knowledge of medical history goes – there have so far been no findings of “racist bones” anywhere in the world. I am sure that if “racist bones” were ever diagnosed or unearthed, there would be a tremendous amount of media coverage, there would be a wholesale shift in the way psychiatrists would pursue the genesis of certain behaviors, and somebody would be up for a Nobel Prize.

So, until we learn more about this hypothesized connection between racism and the skeletal system, I hope Alan will stop trying to move our attention from his dad’s mind to his bones. We would like to focus on his dad’s mind. We want to do so, because his mind informs his politics. And this is only because his big mouth gave us a glimpse of the possibility of racism harbored in his mind, not his bones.

This is not to say we are not open to other possibilities. Obviously,
Alan does not think anything came from Daddy Joe's bones. But hey, maybe it did. If it can be proven that the excited racism that was hurled like putrefying vomit out of his dirty mouth, originated from his bones, rather than his Confederacy infected brain – we may have a real medical anomaly on our hands. And - check this! A good excuse too! "Hey people - It WAS the bones - after all." This is something that needs to looked-at, studied closely, and heavily researched. The due diligence on this must be done before we eliminate his bones as a possible cause of his impolite eruption.

Knowing Congressman Wilson as being a “patriotic” American, and with that, I am sure, sincerely wanting America to be ahead in all things – including groundbreaking medical research. I can assume he would love to expedite good research findings by offering himself up for dissection – you know, for the sake of American leadership! Can’t I?

My associates don’t think he will do that.

Alan Wilson also said that: “He doesn’t even laugh at distasteful jokes.” Now, I would not doubt that, he seems to be an OK guy in certain quarters, but that statement does not mean much to the rest of us. The rest of us do not have any comprehensive insight on what Joe Wilson actually considers distasteful. But we can surmise a few things regarding what he does NOT consider "distasteful." Those few things that can be surmised were gleaned from his political history and recent events.

Now – we and the world saw he does not consider it distasteful to shout disparagingly at THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
in the House Chamber, during a major Presidential address. We got this – it’s on tape. He also does not consider it distasteful to belong to or be friendly with, certain white supremacy organizations, like the Sons of Confederate Veterans. We know this - it's on Wikipedia.

He did not consider it distasteful to defend the Confederacy, and the flying of the racist Confederate flag on top of the South Carolina State Capitol – despite the fact that ninety-nine percent of the state’s Black population (also known as citizens) found THAT distasteful. We know this too - it's in several newspapers.

But – I am not so sure about Congressman Wilson when it comes to matters of actual, pinpoint identifiable taste. I am not one to criticize what different people consider beautiful or acceptable. But I would not be surprised to find one of those velvet Elvis paintings in his living room. I would not be surprised to find rope, kerosene, handcuffs, bats,
and chain in his shed, and I would not be surprised to find one of
his closets full of white, bedsheet-like clothing.

I also would not be surprised to find that the jokes I find “distasteful” are not the jokes he finds “distasteful.” Alan, unfortunately, could not tell us who was telling the jokes, or exactly what kind of jokes Daddy Joe finds "distasteful." Aside from that - we need to find out about those bones. "Racist bones!" Man! Talk about a scientific coup!

Once we vote him out of office, we can make sure he remains useful, and famous, and gone, by checking him into the nearest medical research facility.

Doctors - sharpen your knives!!!

Apology Not Accepted

2009-09-10T19:11:00.107-05:00

Joe "You Lie" Wilson

09/09/2009. The supremacists in the Republican Party are so utterly disrespectful, rabid, ignorant, and entitled – they cannot even maintain proper decorum when THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is addressing a joint session of congress.

1. Superasshole conservative instigator House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va, while THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES was speaking, along with about ten other stupid Republican congressmen and senators - had his overgrown head down the entire speech. He was texting and playing with his Blackberry. Who knows what else he was playing with?

2. Each time THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES made a point worthy of applause, instead of doing so, the Republicans would hold up copies of their (blank) “healthcare reform bill” to protest the detailed outline of reform that THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES was giving in his speech. While I watched, I wished I could run down the line of those guys, with a stiff, ready, properly positioned palm, and – just slap the shit out of each one of them – you know, Three Stooges style.

3. Then we had the venerable Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C. who stole the show, with his sincere and heartfelt “YOU LIE!!!” That voice - heard loud and clear, swiftly piercing through the dignified air of the House Chamber. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave him the glare of death. The Democrats were off-put by the loss of civility. And the pack of dogs known as “The Republicans” turned on him, like a pack of dogs – and forced him to apologize. And he did apologize within hours of the outburst, issued a statement, said a contrite word to the cameras – you know, the usual process when a politician fucks-up. And it was not even a real apology. It was one of those fill-in-the-blanks type deals that his staff keeps on file, in case of emergency.

Now, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is a really nice guy. He is nice, partly because he really is, and partly because he is procedurally cognizant, and he wisely considers the complexities of the political process. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES accepted his apology, in his usual gracious and accommodating way.

Wonderful.

Now check this out. I am not a politician (I bet you can tell by the way I write). I am a citizen, a voter, and a Democrat of color. And even though, over the years, I have said many disparaging things about policies and words that emanate from The White House; my sincere disrespect has always been directed toward policies and words, not against the Office of the President, or against the person of The President. Not even with our last President [George W. Bush].

I don’t accept his apology – and you should not either.

Rep. Wilson feels that because THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is a Black person, he has the latitude and the whiteness to
insult this man whenever and wherever he likes. And because he is white – this is supposed to be acceptable. In some areas of this country, it is acceptable. But for the rest of us real Americans that find this particular sort of anti-American behavior reprehensible, censure is just the start. I am mailing him some moving boxes in the morning. He needs to look for another job.

He has insulted – not just Black people, but all people of color who deign to run for office. He has insulted the processes of democracy. He has insulted The Office of the President. He has insulted the Congress. He has insulted the electorate. He has insulted the protocols of the Congress. He has insulted the Democratic Party. He has insulted the best image of America around the world.

That man should be hounded, blogged, cable-newsed, op-edded, talk-radioed, and processed repeatedly through that big media machine – yes, the mean looking one in the corner – until he is ground to dust. Then we can take our broom and dustpan, sweep him up, and dump him permanently into the trashcan.

That dirty Republican bastard unjustly insulted THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. He is over - gone. I will be sending a check(s) to his midterm opponent, Democrat Rob Miller. If Mr. Miller needs me to canvas, or assist with any get-out-the-vote efforts for him, I will go. That man [Wilson] must not ever set foot in the U.S. Capitol again.

I wish Black people were as unforgiving as some other groups, when white folks trespass on their dignity. There would be a lot less of this trespassing mess going on. Other groups feel they can just insult us with no consequences (The output from Hip Hop artists have not helped in this area). And most of the time, insulters don’t get any consequences. This would have never happened if that were a white President speaking. Could you imagine the heated news cycles, if a Black congressman had done that to a white President?

We need to wear his ass out, the same way they [whites] would wear
one of us out if the situation were reversed. We need to wear his ass out to the point that he becomes thoroughly cracked. So cracked, and dislocated, he starts sucking his thumb, and dragging around a dirty blanket, and shouting profound stuff at folks on the street like: “Repent infidels!!! Fred Flintstone IS the messiah!!!”

Unquote. I am sober serious and ugly angry to the core.

I am going to keep up with this guy, and I will continue to blog, and complain, about this loud-mouthed motherfucker - until he is gone.

Letter? No... Tear that shit up... APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED.

Black folks, don’t just be mad; let us do everything we can to get him out of office. There is nothing like organized fire. Write, blog, e-mail, complain to your local congressman, petition, and send campaign contributions to the opponent of your choice. And to those Black folks in the 2nd Congressional District of South Carolina: Do the whole country a favor, and please, vote this bastard out.

A Question

2009-09-10T16:34:00.008-05:00

Why are you Black pastors so friendly with openly racist polititians and clergymen (racist - meaning against African-Americans - meaning the only good nigger is a dead nigger type mentality), because they say we are supposed to share certain "values?" Do we really share the "values" of the Right? Could you repeat to me what "values" we Black folks are supposed to share with those people? And if there are possibly any "values" we don't share (like having us back as slaves), that you know of, could you please enumerate those.

For You Michael Steele - No Difference

2009-09-08T14:07:00.025-05:00

Sir, your fellow Republicans and their low-minded town hall racists
are so anti-American (meaning to be against American citizens of color for just breathing) - they would treat any president of color in the disrespectful way they have treated this one - even if he were Republican. Don't you see this? Your white Republican associates know they are being incendiary. There is nothing they would enjoy more than the assassination of this president. It seems like they are doing everything they can to make that happen.

The only reason they made you chairman of the RNC is because it
was expedient. Republicans are good at window dressing. So - this is conservatism, huh? OK. You Black Republicans are not safe from racist murder - they would do the same to you. Your well-professed ideology does not provide you with any protection from the supremacists. Don't fool yourself.

Lakeisha's Of The World - Unite!

2009-09-07T03:26:00.145-05:00

I am an explicit advocate of rights of all kinds. I think that the arc of the United States bends towards the freer exercise of all rights. Be they women’s, civil, gay, disabled or any number of other rights that I can’t think of now. The potential for the further flowering of rights comes from the amendable nature of a constitution that can be interpreted with increasing clarity and fairness as society becomes more enlightened.

One right that is truly inalienable, at least in this country, is the right to name oneself and one’s children. I am not one of those Black folks that will say you should name your children with so-called “normal” or “regular” sounding names, like Robert or William, Mary or Catherine. We have already been through the forced naming thing historically, when we were brought here as slaves. Once we landed on these shores, a lying, mean, parasitic, white, Christian degenerate – also known as a slave master, re-named every one of our great-grandparents “Toby." They were instructed by death threat not to ever indicate their own selves by the parent-given name of “Kunta Kinte” again.

So – apparently this naming thing is real important.

Move the clock forward to the 20th century. And we have an individual
now formerly known as Cassius Clay, that lost his attachment to a name that originated from dual sources. “Cassius” was a Greek sourced name that was given to him by his parents. “Clay” (origin - English) was his surname – inherited through his family tree, originally "gifted" to his great-grandparents from their original owners. At a certain point – he decides to change his name to Muhammad Ali. OK, big deal, so what. My dumb ass, I figure if the guy wants to be called this, rather than that – what is the problem. Right? "50 cent" - right?

Well – there was a multi-part problem in this. First, the reason he
wanted to change his name, was because in 1964 he became a member of a “controversial” organization that some say, “preached hate.” Also known as “The Nation of Islam.” In some quarters, that organization is still “controversial.” But you know – in this country, any group of Black people that are not fighting each other, or, horrors – trying to do something constructive, is always going to be looked upon as “controversial,” even by some Black folks.

One day, I was having coffee and conversation with four other brothers at an outdoor café in the Gold Coast area of Chicago. From the way some white folks were looking at us - that was “controversial.” No way to get around that.

Second – he made the choice of changing his “good – American name”
to a “foreign” name. “And a Aaay-raab name on top of that!” White folks would say: “What is wrong with this NIGGER (oops – y’all know I didn’t mean that), uh, I mean guy.” “Ain’t his American name good enough for him?” Black folks would say: “What is he trying to say?” Well he was trying to say a lot – too much for me to go into on this posting. But everything he was saying, through the name-change, and otherwise,
a lot of people, both Black and white, did not like what they were hearing – for a plethora of reasons.

His name – which is meant to be said, also became, letter by letter, a silent testament, to the loud and egregious injustices being committed on Black people, at that time, in this country.

Third – he made the choice to exercise sovereignty over himself, without “permission.” It is very important for Black people to put “permission” at the top of the checklist – if they plan to make any substantive changes regarding what they want to be called, or if they want to change their way of thinking, or if they want to think, etc.

"Jack!!! Leroy is thinking again!"

Doing stuff without “permission” – you can invite trouble. Many Blacks
still don’t understand that our “American” surnames were never meant
to convey lineage. That’s why white folks never invite Black folks to the Johnson, or Williams, or Robinson family reunions – even though they are blood kin. Those names were meant to indicate ownership (“These are MY niggers” - sound familiar?). And I suspect when Mr. Ali decided to change his name without “permission,” he did not know, he was going to evoke latent residual attitudes of ownership and white sovereignty over his Black being.

Whenever African-Americans change their surnames to monikers that
are not "white-approved" – white people feel they are losing ownership. You are messing with their "property rights." They will say: “Nigger - you need to get your name LEGALLY changed.” Even though there was no court factor involved when these names were originally “gifted” to our great-grandparents. You STILL must go through them to make that change official (ain't that a BITCH?). If you decide to make a change that may be taken as “political” in nature - you may be pointed out by whites as “un-American,” or “exotic,” or even “subversive.”

The same thing to a lesser degree is happening today in making light of the names that people in my community are “making-up” to name their children. The more “mainstreamed” Black folks are expressing different degrees of embarrassment and shame. The white folks are expressing different degrees of snickering and ridicule – and only because these names (Lakisha, Sheneka, Jaquon) do not carry any “political” weight.

I say – SO WHAT! Let white folks snicker. Let “mainstream” Black folks shame-out until their brains burn-out. Black people that feel shame at white opinions about us deserve no respect. We have nothing to apologize for or to be embarrased about - when it comes to them [white folks]. The so-called “underclass” is showing the avowed “middle class” the kind of ownership they should be showing them.

All names were "made-up" at some time or other.

The dynamics of name in America is so political, confusing, and inconsistent that Black people can be called “exotic” or "potentially subversive" for just being born with a name that is originally African (see Barack Hussein Obama). You know – the kind of surnames Black people are SUPPOSED to have. That’s like putting a Chinese man under suspicion for having a name like Kim Lee.

It seems precious few of my people think it is strange that our genetic mosaic is primarily African, at the same time we are walking around with these English, French, Scottish, and Irish names. A lot of my folks are actually proud of these names... “Ahm ah McSWEENEY!!!”

Un-stupid-believable.

But watch the eyes roll back if a Japanese-looking person walks in and says his last name is Stotkowski. OK? So now that we have the freedom to name ourselves – I have no problem with taking ownership of one’s name. And to hell with those that can always crack their mouths open with unconstructive opinions or ridicule, but dry-up fast when the time for constructive dialogue is needed.

What I am asking for though, is a bit of order. So far I have identified 15 different ways to spell “Lakeisha.” Because of what I do for a living, I was in contact with four different “Lakeishas” all with four different ways to spell it – in two days! I got “attituded” by several "Lakeishas" because I “spelled it wrong.” Really? "What is the correct spelling?.. Oh, the way YOU spell it." (Times Four!!!) This is crazy.

It’s okay to be “unique.” But a consistent variability within a particular subset of anything, becomes a kind of uniformity that then renders the “uniqueness” of each member of the subset meaningless. The "uniquity" becomes the ubiquity. Do you understand ladies?

AN OH NO MOMENT - I do not think the "namers" out there, have exhausted the possibilities of rendering this name. “Lakeisha” is not
the only name, but it is one of the most common of this type. One characteristic that distinguishes these names is that they mostly end in
S–H–A or E–K-A. All the letters that go before those three enders could go just about anywhere. And they do.

It is very confusing. So my suggestion is that all the “namers” in our community get together and have a “convention” or “conference” of sorts. It could be called the SHA-EKA Symposium. Right? The purpose would be to deliberate and come to an agreement on how all the S–H–A and E–K–A names should be spelled. Ladies – please establish a standard. It's a good thing that works. The way a whole lot of other things in our lives are good and “standardized.”

The same fries you get at a McDonald's in Chicago, Illinois, are the
same fries you get in Kobe, Japan. I have been to Japan, and have eaten at several McDonald's there - the overhead menus were in Japanese (I pointed at the pictures), but the fries were speaking the same language I was.

The scientific community does “standardizing” conferences all the time, out of operational necessity. It is time our community did the same. That way the rest of us do not have to reset our brains and our computers every time we have to put another “Shaquisha” or “Sheneka” in our databases. It’s OK to name yourselves or your children whatever you like, just help the rest of us out when you do so. Please.

It is time for the “Lakeishas” of our community to unite!

The Republican Solution

2009-09-01T23:17:00.004-05:00

I was watching "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC on Tuesday 09/01/2009. She had a segment focusing on a young lady that was disabled as a result of a shooting. The young lady is a recent college graduate and is unemployed. She has no insurance. Her medical expenses have been offset a bit, because her family and volunteers from her community are washing cars to raise money to help pay those bills.
It will be a while before she fully recovers.

I wonder if this is what the Republicans mean by "bootstrapping"
when it comes to dealing with medical expenses.

This may be the way out of the health care mess. Car washes!
Why didn't I think of this? Yes. A true "Public Option." Need a heart transplant? Start washing cars! Need a tumor removed? Better get a bucket and a squeegee baby. How many people out there need care right now? No insurance? How many cars are out there?

There will need to be some actuarial work done, so we can see just how many car washes a month per capita the U.S. population can reasonably pay for. This makes you think. I can imagine having the ability to gauge the overall health of a particular community just by counting the number of clean cars on the street. Pure genius! The Republicans said they have a better plan - this could be it.

Wash or die.

Diverse - But Can't Get Elected?

2009-08-29T21:49:00.011-05:00

There are quite a few "conservative" Black people out there, that are running or have run for public office. Why is it that conservative white folks never seem to be able to vote these guys into office? I mean, the white (conservative) candidates DO get elected. Why no Black ones?

The Black ones, no matter how solidly "right-wing," or "Republican-platform," or "conservative-position" or "I'm-wit'-cha-boss" sounding their rhetoric may be, they just don't seem to get the same love.

It may not be that way - but that's how it looks.

The ones that are in high-profile positions within the Republican Party, at least on the surface, seem to be treated badly, or just ignored. They look like they are either "figure-headed," or "window-dressed," or "relegated," or "Michael-Steeled." You know? And any love that is shown, seems to be reserved, just for the TV cameras.

Choose a stage: They do an air hug that lasts for a nanosecond, then the white person walks away from the person of color - real fast. Lightweight - quick handshakes. Look away - turn - gone! So fluidly choreographed - it looks like ballet done on a hot stove. You ever notice that? A remarkable synthesis of etiquette and minstrelsy. Funny as hell. Well - Republicans are funny anyway. Check it out the next time you see any televised Republican event.

You can see the same kind of phenomena at large Republican gatherings. The whites that are at those gatherings, don't even look like they are comfortable sitting next to a fellow Republican - ahhh, that happens to be of color. They look uneasy and strained in their seats, like they have a whole-body itch they can't scratch. When you see wide-angle camera shots of those gatherings on TV, you can clearly see the very few people of color dispersed throughout a sea of white - nervously waving their little flags.

The Black folks at those gatherings look so out-of-place, that I suspect the RNC is renting these people from some service that provides TV-ready colored people to be part of the "staging" at normally all-white events. To me - a service seems plausible. That could be why the Black folks I see at those events remain in their seats, while a Sarah Palin is on the podium, railing about the alarming possibility, of a muslim nigger being the next occupant of "OUR" (whites only) White House.

There is a constant flow of veiled and not-so veiled racist political rhetoric spoken at those meetings. How can the Black folks continue to sit there? Do they HEAR what is being said? Red-faced white folks throwing tantrums in the bleachers - "I waaant MY country baaak!!!" Oooh wee buddy... I know I would have to be paid to stay.

That's why I can see the utility of a "diversity" service. Let's listen:

The Service: "OK. How many white people do you think will
show-up?"

RNC: "Oh - maybe 25,000."

The Service: "Well, how diverse do you want to look?"

RNC: "Ah, well, we need the balance of a good image for TV - but we don't want to do too many. It may scare-off our base. You know what I mean?"

The Service: "I gotcha Sir... I tell you what - how about a spread of 25 Blacks placed into the general seating, and maybe put three or four on the stage for some good camera shots - how 'bout that?"

RNC: "Beautiful - let's do it."

Now, I am not saying that is what's happening. This is America. But I just wonder: How do you have these hundreds of Black conservative Republicans out there, that are enthusiastically and unreservedly spouting the right stuff; but less than one-half, of one-half, of one-half of one percent of the ones that run for office are actually elected?

The ones that do have positions of power or any degree of influence are usually appointed - then treated like pets. The RNC even provides free dog food! Isn't that nice? The appointments don't last long. Again, they are hardly ever elected. The ones that have been elected, don't seem to get re-elected. If anyone has contrary information on this - please let me know. The most prominent Black Republicans always find themselves supporting publicly, those white candidates that have that "I-don't-want-any-niggers-living-next-door" look on their faces.

A political expediency so weird, it is truly beyond explanation.

The numbers of people that do vote Republican; and the numbers of people that are willing to vote for a Republican candidate that happens to be of color - at least, on the surface; are not looking like they want to even even-up with each other. At least to me they don't. Is the Republican Party really the "white mans" party? If it is not, then WHY can't Black folks, in any real numbers, get elected within this party? Discrimination? In the Republican Party? Nah...

It may not be that way - but that's how it looks.

Reconstruction and The Constitution

2009-08-23T17:23:00.047-05:00

Let us make one thing clear Black folks: Christianity and
true democracy is, was, and always will be incompatible.

No equal rights, no fair rules, no good laws can be derived from commandments or directives that originate from above. The rightness of the free, flexible, and consented moral implicitness of our amended present-day constitution; far exceeds whatever soul-saving goodness that might be found in the inflexible, discriminating, un-amendable, and divinely ordered morality of the Bible. We need to stop misleading ourselves with this equating and relating of one with the other - they are not, and never will be analogous. The history of Black people in Christian America has already shown this as an irrefutable fact. We as a people must wake-up to certain realities, and recent trends.

Reality One:
I will challenge to his face, any white right-wing Republican Christian conservative (that has some reasonableness) to choose between the Bible and the U.S. Constitution. And since this is a case where only one irrevocable choice could be made - watch which gets chosen. Rights created by the consent of the people, will always trump commandments, decided and imposed by a judgemental party of one. They [Republicans] are not stupid - the non-rhetorical, and surprisingly intelligent choice would be made 100% of the time.

They may talk a lot of mess; but again - they are not stupid.

Reality Two:
My Black folks though - may be a different case. Why? Because too many of my people are intoxicated with Jesus - and don't give a flying fuck about reading history, politics, or understanding the constitution. So - if they are that different case (yes - they are), I would suggest Black folks make an honest operational comparison between the 13th Amendment, the opening lines of The Declaration of Independence, and Leviticus 25:44-46, KJV - and think about where Mosaic Law can lead to.

Does Leviticus square with these two documents? Do they? The verses cited are direct from the mouth of God. The same motherfucking God that "blesses" America. Can an American slave be considered "blessed?"

I cannot find ONE verse in the the Bible that even supports the idea of "All men being created equal." Not one. I do find support for "The divine right of kings" and "if you are a slave - you stay a slave." "Chosen People?" Chosen ahead of or aside from whom? Does being "chosen" equal equality with others? Does being equal "in the sight of God" translate into secular equality? If it does, why would we have a practical need to separate church and state?

Jesus himself tells you: "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's (Matthew 22:21, KJV)." This is his provisional summary of the relationship between Christianity and secular authority.

That summary can be enacted though, in one of two practical ways. Either exercise a totally separate secular government, with a totally separate Biblical authority. This arrangement has a "Second Coming" time limit. The other option is to forcibly initiate the creation of a singular "Kingdom of God" on earth - pushing the clock forward, and hopefully expediting the return of sovereign Jesus.

The "Kingdom of God" creation process can be accomplished either systematically or immediately. One way is to legislatively breach the wall of separation in a piecemeal fashion - Republican style. Or you can suddenly do away with all aggregation of authority - right now - by gun - militia style. Kill the liberals, and put the Blacks in their place. The Law of God will then overwrite the Law of Caesar.

What did you THINK that meant?

In our case, according to Jesus, this dual rendering - some to the king
and some to the kingdom, is the correct relationship between the Bible and the Constitution. That is, until the "proper" changes are made. This temporary relationship means that whatever you are (Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal...), or however much you believe - it makes no difference. If the secular authority says "this is where you need to be," then - according to Jesus, that is where you are supposed to go (you like this?). Whether certain ordinances or conditions are fair and equally applicable for everyone, or immoral in principle is not an issue.

"Can we get a 'Bill of Rights' here?" "No Sir. Not from Jesus."

The "word of God" has never moved anyone from slave to free. But a constitutional amendment did (13th; on 12-6-1865). The Bible is about obedience - not freedom. According to the Holy Bible - just because you believe does not mean that you should be free. Even those slaves that were freed with God's direct assistance (see Exodus, KJV); they were then cleared by God to exercise the same pernicious practice on others (see Leviticus, KJV). Did they learn anything? Apparently not.

Enslavement is just as immoral as murder. At a certain time in this country, there were a lot of true believers suffering about Jesus while working out in the goddamned cotton fields by day, and calling his name while getting fucked in the ass by night (OH Jesus!).

Reality Three:
Folks... This is where we go into "certain realities and recent trends."

Paul - a biblical hero - said runaways should be returned to their masters (Letter to Philemon: NT - KJV). He had an opportunity to speak about the evil of slave-owning, but did not do so. Ever heard of the "Fugitive Slave Law (act of 2-12-1793 and law of 9-18-1850)?" Bad laws for Black people in this country have always had their roots and moral justifications in Biblical teachings.

White Christian Reconstructionists and Paul agree. "You niggers should be returned to your masters." These people are not just Republican type propaganda-spouting fakers - they mean what they believe, and they plan to put this country in alignment with those beliefs.

Many everyday white evangelical Christians are doing a serious study
of the writings of Rousas John Rushdoony - the father of Christian Reconstructionism. They are also making serious studies of the writings of Charles Hodge, Robert Lewis Dabney, Thornton Stringfellow, and other pro-slavery theologians of the past. Take note folks. The worst aspects of Rushdoony's thought (the favorite) in particular, are being mainstreamed and made acceptable by white religious conservatives.

They want the Old Testament Mosaic Law to replace the Constitution, FOR REAL. Thereby putting Caesar's things, and God's things all in one box, you know, like the Taliban. These biblically literal, biblically crazy Reconstructionists DO, LITERALLY want to re-enslave us, you know - American citizen type African-Americans. Because the Mosaic Law, literally, and for real - sanctifies and regulates slavery - with no consideration of citizen status. Well it does - literally, and for real.

You cannot say these white folks are scripturally incorrect, like those words are not there - because, they are. No amount of "interpretation" can move the ink on those pages, to mean anything other than what that ink is supposed to mean. So you Jesus fanatics, clergyfolks, and biblical apologists can save it.

This can go far. Just like a Constutution can be established by force -
it can also be abolished by force. Reconstructionists love their guns.

For them - no blessings without bullets.

Since the election of Obama, this movement has gained traction and credibility - being consumed daily, with morning coffee. We [Black people] have already been designated historically, as the correct party to enslave by Hamitic decree: And, considering the possibility of this action from a positive societal standpoint; the re-enslavement of Black folks would make white Christian conservatives very happy.

Another positive effect that can happen due to re-enslavement would be that cable TV viewership would go way up. FOX News would do full coverage of the re-enslavement proceedings - along with informed and beautifully effusive commentary. Glenn Beck would declare "a great day in America." Stealth racist pundit Sean Hannity would not be able to remove the smile from his face.

Don't think it can't happen.

So - what does history tell us? What scriptural authority backed-up our former slave master's position? Were they correct? What was the philosophy and the law that freed us? What scriptural support did the abolitionists have - if any? Did Lincoln go against "God's Will" with his "Proclamation" to emancipate?

If America and the Bible go together like mom and apple pie - then where is the democracy in biblically reconstructed enslavement?

"The assumption that slave holding is in itself a crime... is an error fraught with evil consequences. It not merely brings its advocates into conflict with the scriptures, but it does much to retard the progress of freedom; it embitters and divides the members of the [white] community and it distracts the [mission of the] Christian Church."

Gangsta Lean

2009-08-20T14:00:00.010-05:00

President Obama: For the remainder of the eight years you are

in office - do not forget you are from Chicago. Home of Al Capone.

You do not EVER HAVE TO "bi-partisan" with any legislator that

does not want to work with you. When you want to get something passed, "posse-up" with your center and left constituency. The real people that elected you - Mr. President. We will bring the fire just close enough to all recalcitrant senators and congressmen, so that they may see the light - and support the health-reform bill.

Because, once they feel the heat, there is no way they can refuse.

One thing about George Bush, he had a lot of gangsta in him. He said: "Just because you got the most votes - don't mean you gonna win."* That's what he said - and that fucker kicked Al Gore right out of the White House. Didn't he gangster Iraq? Didn't he make our duped asses look for "weapons of mass destruction?" Alright then.

We have to show even more willingness to kick some ass. Nice is over. The insurance companies and the Republican assholes cannot be allowed to win this one. They are playing with our lives. If you need a few heads cracked within the party - then that's what your support network will have to do. We will take care of it. Just give us a list.

But YOU will have to come out strong and clear and on message - every day, no change, until this is done. Do not waver on the PUBLIC OPTION - that is the centerpiece of this whole thing. If you waver - your support network will have nothing to work with. If you need us to get out in the "town halls" and make some noise - then we can make some noise. And will slap the shit out of the next son-of-a-bitch that asks for your birth certificate.

If you need us to dig up some dirt to hold over some motherfucker's head; so that he may vote right: Well Sir; that is why I keep on ready - a shovel, a bat, a camera, a laptop with a scanner, and a credit card with lots of frequent-flyer miles. We have to fight dirty - just like the Republicans. If they bring a concealed .45 revolver to an agreed upon fist-fight, we have to pull out a machine-gun (surprise).

You kick enough ass - even the "gun-rights" bastards will back-off.

I like a good fight. This is a good fight.

Cut Out the Republicans

2009-08-19T10:18:00.001-05:00

Stop allowing the Republicans to ruin the good message of health
care reform by continuing to engage them. Just walk by those mothers
in the halls of the Capitol, or along the beltway like they don't exist. Find out if senate rules can be bypassed. If the Republican fuckers want to attempt a filibuster - let them. Talk to Democrats only, get the Blue Dogs in line, and let's get health care WITH A PUBLIC OPTION passed this year.

Public Option

2009-08-18T17:24:00.004-05:00

Mr. President: No health-care reform without the public option. Without that, you may as well not have a bill. Co-ops do not make sense - they are a hand over to the insurance companies. Forget it. We already have a kind of co-op, it is called Blue Cross - Blue Shield. This is okay - but the public is still in need of a last resort option. And as you know Mr. President, the public option is crucial to holding down costs.

Those disruptions that are occurring at "town hall" meetings - are
just nasty instigations paid for by the insurance companies and their lobbying organizations. The asshole racists are all too happy to disrupt, tote their guns, then pick-up their little checks afterwards.

You were elected to do this - do not compromise. Fuck the Republicans - they are so in the way, they really need to sit their creaky asses down. They are now just a retrogressive virus, infecting the country, and making everybody sick. They have absolutely
nothing to add but air.

Please stop trying to "bi-partisan" with those that don't want to
"bi-partisan" with you. If there were something they [Republicans] wanted to get done, and they had the votes, they would just do it. They would not "bi-partisan" a fucking thing with you, Mr. President. You would'nt find out what they did until the next morning's paper. Whoosh! Gone! Let's not waste anymore time.

We have the votes. If this shit has to be rammed through, then let's just ram this mother through. Whatever it takes - the Left supports you. Fuck it, Mr. President: We will deal with sweeping up the pieces later. Let's put the right message on blast. The parts of the electorate that is "afraid" of reform - will embrace it, once it kicks in. Just like they opposed, then embraced Medicare and Social Security.

The people that elected you expect an uncompromised Public Option.

Let's DO THIS. Mr. President.

Try Something Else

2009-08-13T18:22:00.013-05:00

A Post to Concerned Christians Everywhere.

Concerned Christians are always reminding me that: "The Bible is the inerrant word of God, written by men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit."

I have thoroughly read the Bible - including and especially the parts they don't talk about in church, many times from cover to cover. That's why I know the Bible better than most Christians. Those were quiet readings, done over time, really dissecting and comparing, and underlining, and highlighting, and bookmarking, and re-reading, and re-searching, and thinking, and re-thinking about what I had read.

Then, BOOM!!!!!

My studies gave me the absolute assurance, that the Bible has nothing to contribute to anything... Anything dealing with history, or science, or morality, or reason, or good - nothing.

The best way to create an atheist is to let him read the WHOLE Bible, in all of its naked literalness. With no whispering influences from any "correct interpreters," or any "proper guidance" from clergy. When done - ask that individual to give a raw and HONEST assessment of what he just read.

If he has any truthfulness in his character, he will come to the un-reserved, spoken conclusion that the Bible was written by pre-scientific, opaque, tribal, super-superstitious, hyperignorant, bestial, sadistic, bigoted, and misogynistic men that did not know what the fuck they were talking about.

And if someone does tell me that the Bible is the singular repository of "ultimate truth," or congruent with what relativity-minded, 21st century people understand as reality - I know they are either:

1. Honestly Ignorant,

2. Honestly Delusional,

or 3. Big Liars with a Method or Plan (watch your wallet).

The ignorant need to stop listening to clergymen, and read something different but enlightening. Go to Barnes and Noble or Borders, not the Christian book store, or the religion section. Learn some science - like basic physics and cosmology: Black folks!!! The six day beginning does not cut it anymore - the enlightened world knows too much about the universe for that to have any serious play. And we as a people, need to be able to intelligently add to the conversation.

Of course, we don't yet know everything - but that six-day shit was trumped back in the middle of the 19th century. The knowledge wasn't put on blast until the beginning of the 20th century - because at that time, you could be imprisoned in most states for propagating any views of reality that differed with the biblical account.

The delusional need help. I have a list of reputable "de-programmers"
and psychiatrists that can help those with "BBS" or "Biblical Bullshit Syndrome." We can definitely assist you. Logic-enhanced M&M's are free and available from our help desk. As a prelude to therapy, I would like to invite the delusional to any of my weekly Bible-burnings, held every Thursday night.

The Liars, are the liars. Clergy, politicians, certain segments of the
media, and the Christianity industry, all know that the Bible is bullshit - the embodied antithesis of enlightenment. They will never tell you, because money has to be made, and power has to be maintained.

The Bible itself, is the ideal tool though, for money and power purposes. That has been known by the tricky and the powerful since the time of Constantine. This book has been consistently effective, for keeping the masses mentally tied-up and powerless. Take a look around the world at communities of color. The more Christian it is - the more pathetic it is. The Black community in America is almost thoroughly Christian - and almost thoroughly pathetic.

Salvation? Jesus - is not an option.

The fact that this belief system was given to us, by our former slave masters and Jim Crow enforcers, should have been a giant red flag that forever anathematized Christianity for Black people everywhere.

"CHRISTIANITY?!... Man - don't fuck with that shit!"

Lynchings were always one-hundred-percent attended by good Bible-believing Christians - including the guy being lynched! And history has shown me, that nothing can brighten up a neighborhood like a cross being burned on one's lawn. Maybe Jesus IS the light.

Leviticus was the best thing that ever happened to Black people. This chapter of the Bible not only gave the "chosen people" direct-from-God permission to enslave others, but instructs - whom to do it to, how to do it, and how long to do it to them. If it were not for Bible-believing white people, doing the right thing, and putting God’s divine and merciful instructions into practice for 400-plus years – we Black folks would have never received the great blessings of Christianity.

Amazingly: The one thing Black folks failed to do, once freed, was to
show those former slave masters, our deep gratitude for facilitating the blessings we had received. And the right way to have shown that gratitude, I think; would have been to tell the white man; with a solemn and profound humility, to take his fucking Bible, and stick it nice and solidly up his flat, nasty, discriminating ass.

Believe me people - there is still time to do the right thing.

The Bible - in so many critical ways, has basically driven us Black folks crazy. There is not a source in this world that can exponentialize ignorance, irrationality and stupidity, as thoroughly, or as efficiently as the Holy Bible. (FOX News runs a close second though.)

The politician has a tenuous hold on the body through the power of the law, and the priest keeps a strong hold on the mind through the power of the lie. The Bible is the basis of the lie. Biblical indoctrination has the power to make all lies from authority (temporal or spiritual) sweet and believable; and this "Biblelization" (new word) process, blinds one to the ways in which the law and the lie are connected.

For example: The Black masses have always been fooled by that "speaking truth to power" bullshit - thinking of their clergymen as good community agents, really working on their behalf; "looking-out," and protecting the community from the machinating authorities.

The truth is, "Truth" and "Power" have always collaborated, through an elaborate and intricate back-room compact. Whom do you think gives the politician the appropriate biblical passages to drop in his speeches? Whom do you think gives the priest the "heads-up" on what politics, policies or events, to sermon about in the pulpit?

Be aware of the actual pull-down-the-shades coordination of talking points. Done, for whatever political or financial reasons you will never be privy to. "Truth to Power?" It's a fucking charade folks.

If only you could be a fly on the wall when "Truth" and "Power" get together for drinks - where the envelopes are passed - and the talking points re-set - right after the staged-for-TV "protest march."

Your own self-enlightenment efforts (for you at least) removes the grip of the religious money-grabbers, counters stupid propaganda, and opens reality to realism. When many more everyday folks make the effort to see and think, and become better informed, they can and will correctly circumscribe the power of the government. They can and will build a tranquil and safe community. They can and will create prosperity for themselves. Clarity comes from within - not from above.

Studying the Bible, [only] if you are doing it with the serious purpose of making it a guide for living, is a horrible waste of time.

Folks, put that Bible down sometime, read other books, think honestly, get enlightened. Then, PLEASE try something else.

A significant number of those "birther" assholes that question whether President Obama is a citizen, are not even sure if The State of Hawaii is a part of the United States.

Sarah Palin - Part 4

2009-08-11T18:06:00.004-05:00

First, while still in Alaska, this idiot jumps into the debate over health care. Spouting ominous sounding "Obama death panel" remarks - not knowing what the hell she was talking about. Second, she then travels South and appeals to the basest tribal urges of "right-to-bear-arms" type white bubbas. Thereby heating-up the racist hordes to boiling temperatures that may not be containable.

Presently, she is appealing for "calm" and "reasonableness" now that
she and other right-wing ignoramuses have pushed this debate beyond political gamesmanship, and into real violence incitement. The Republican leadership is now waking-up after going too far.

But the drawling "2nd Amendment" snuff-dippers are willfully deaf to "reasonableness," and are now bringing guns to these "town halls."

Will a bullet get the last word?

The Republican Formula

Security Cameras

2009-08-09T20:05:00.001-05:00

When I watch crime shows on cable, I always notice that the security cameras used by stores, banks, etc. seem to never have a high enough resolution to solidly identify a person. Even if there is a full-on facial shot. With good lighting. A bank robbery - No Mask!!!

These recordings are so fuzzy, that you might as well not even have cameras in those places. You can get zoomed-in satellite surveillance pictures with higher resolution these days. The satellites themselves are orbiting 200 miles or more above the planet.

Who is selling these systems?

What People Know

2009-08-08T12:28:00.002-05:00

I cannot tell you how many people I have met (because of what I do for a living) that will tell me about the glories of heaven, and how much Jesus loves me, and what the afterlife will be like if I would just get "saved." But, those same folks, even if their lives depended on it, cannot not tell me what their zip code is.

I kid you not.

Sarah Palin - Part 3

"Have Respect For My Pastor"

2009-08-07T00:36:00.051-05:00

Why do people always do "reverential" stuff they don't
want to do - just to be "respectful" to other people's religious sensitivities? Don't bring me, please - I won't do it.

You know how your churchgoing friends and relatives always attempt to corral you into doing that extra-special politeness and deference thing along with them, whenever their fucking pastor comes into your space? "Here comes my pastor - now watch your mouth - don't embarrass me!" Doesn't that shit get on your nerves? Well, it gets on mine, anytime I am told to go "holy on demand."

There is not one "reverend" on this planet that is deserving of any more respect than you would give any other panhandler.

When I was twelve, I saw a guy on TV run up to a stage, fall to his knees, and kiss the Pope on his hand. That totally grossed me out. "What kind of freak mess is this?" I thought. Then the Pope stuck two fingers in the air, and waved his hand around, all the while mumbling some kind of incomprehensible nonsense.

My grandmother said he was "blessing" him. "And then what happens?" I asked. She said, "I don't know - but its supposed to be good. I think a blessing gets you closer to God." Even so... I still did not like what I saw. I could understand a little respect. But, I mean, shit, he just kissed that man's hand!

"You are supposed to have respect and reverence for the Pope," my grandmother said. "For what, who said so, and why?" I thought.

You know... I never did like the whole "reverence and respect for clergy" thing. Something in me always felt that the whole "reverence and respect for clergy" set-up, was wrong. I can never say "reverend" without bringing up gas (burp). I always say "Mister." The only person I revere as "reverend" is me (you read correctly, I do mean myself).

Today, I always make sure to let fly, at least three good, well-formed, cuss words out of my mouth in the course of conversation, whenever I am around clergy. From this - one can see MY level of reverence for these shit-talking, money-grabbing, not-respect worthy, hypercynical lowlifes. You are probably thinking by now, that it would not be a good idea to bring me around your pastor, that is, if you have one.

It's okay. It is not like I am not civil, or reasonable, because I am.

It is just that I get impatient when extras are being demanded from me for no good reason. And then to be pressured into expending those extras toward those whom I feel are no-good. That kind of expectation makes me feel like I am standing on the bad end of a stick-up.

I hate it. I refuse to falsely reverence the false, and I won't, don't, can't do piety. No extras here for pastors. I see most clergymen (99.7% and counting) as nothing but a bunch of strutty, slick, lying, covetous, thieving, poison-spreaders. These charlatan dogs are always trying to "Amen" their way into your wallet, or "preach" their way to holy heaven, right under your wife's dress.

And besides, clergymen are always getting extras. That's why so many of them are overweight.

So, if there is a clergyman around, and if, at that same moment you feel like cussing... CUSS!!! And if blasphemy is your thing - then hey, let loose baby. Why should YOU have to watch YOUR mouth?

Should you?

Well, as far as I am concerned, mouth watching goes both ways. Clergymen certainly don't watch their fucking mouths. Their utterances go mostly unchecked and unchallenged. Especially when they are flapping in some stinking pulpit, vituperating about some "sin" or anything else they deem worthy of condemnation or disparagement.

Cussing and blasphemy are First Amendment rights, that are open
and exercisable to every citizen of this country. We have constitutionally separated, the church, and the state. This means; within this beautiful bitch we call the United States of America, you have the un-intimidatable, uncurtailed right, to bitch to, and about, and in the proximity of, any Bible-farting, wind-bagging, flim-flamming, pastor-pimp all you want - no matter how "anointed" he may be.

And you can legally do it, if you want, loudly and continuously; until all the "blessed and highly favored" adulterators that are fucking those same pastor-pimps, come home. You are free and legal and First Amendment-ly correct baby! Ain't that a bitch? And if you happen to be A BITCH, well bitch; YOU are fucking free, and fucking legal, and fucking constitutional too.

That's why I love this country.

The founding fathers set it up this way - just so you would be freely able to blaspheme or cuss, or not - in front of whomever the fuck you want to - with whatever degree of appropriateness YOU decide is necessary, according to the situation. And yes, it is quite possible you may "offend" certain people because you "differ," or don't believe, or burn Bibles, or whatever. SO WHAT.

Those that are "offended" - have an equally constitutional right to "counter-offend" - or get the fuck out. In this country, you can openly and sincerely rail away, without the possibility of being jailed, fined, exiled, or burned at the stake for being a self-declared "infidel," or "apostate," or "dis-respecter of the cloth."

Welcome to America, you religious son-of-a-bitch.

Now - if the Pope just happens to be standing there at the moment you get the urge to flow - OH WELL. "Freedom is a motherfucker, Your Holiness." Allowing yourself to get caught-up and dragged into being over-respectful and deferential to likely criminals (wearing a collar immediately makes one a suspect), just because everyone else is caught-up-crazy, is being wrong to yourself.

If you don't want to do it, then really - don't do it.

The separation of church and state allows YOU to decide whom you may be reverential towards. Get some sense please. There is a difference between reverence, and plain everyday civil respect.

Reverence should never be automatic towards ANY son-of-a-bitch
you just met - regardless of whom they are supposed to be. Fuck that. Especially when that meeting requires you to do any faking, shuffling, kneeling, head bowing, eye closing, wallet opening; or droning out some bullshit prayer. Forced piety and participation on your part, should always be out of the question.

No one should have to debase themselves in this way, just because they must occasionally put themselves in the same room, with some greasy-assed, "ordained and anointed" motherfucker.

This is how you do it properly:

THE INTRODUCTION: "Oh, um, Mr. Ward: I would like you to meet The Honorable Reverend, Doctor, Pastor, Prophet, Evangelist, Overseer, Messenger, Apostle, Bishop Al Cheatumwell of the Heavenly Dollar Baptist Church."

THEIR ATTITUDE: "My God... Don't you see my Pastor standing here asshole? Stop eating your goddamned chicken wings for a moment, you hell-bound maggot. Get up, bow, thank the Lord Jesus, and kiss my Pastor's ring - you faithless fuck. Show some gratitude, you heathen bastard - for receiving the great blessing, of being in the presence of a man chosen by God himself."

THE PROPER RESPECT: "KISS MY ASS... Amen."

"May I finish my wings please?"

There is nothing more civilizing than a proper display of respect.

You should be just as polite to him as you would anyone else you meet. No more - no less. And if anyone expects more than that, make sure they walk away thoroughly disappointed.

I Want My Country Back!!!

2009-08-06T19:35:00.002-05:00

Whenever I see coverage of "town hall" meetings on political commentary shows, at least one white person always screams; "I want my country baaack!" I would like a "town hall" white person to explain to me exactly how the country was "taken."

And precisely how they want it "back."

First Steps to Community Improvement

2009-08-02T19:38:00.009-05:00

Let us begin by getting rid of all the Black clergymen (send them by red-eye to Siberia). We can tear down Black churches, or convert those facilities to more productive uses. We should put mental health hazard warning stickers on all Bibles. We should censure then refrain from patronizing Black Christian bookstores, for the crime of selling misleading and false information, marketed as fact.

We should remove our children from all Christian schools, so
that they are not indoctrinated into being future time revenue sources, or seduced into being present time sex objects for clergymen. We must send representatives to the Vatican, and to the headquarters of all Christian denominations, with a demand for a refund of all Black people's tithes and offerings. (All billing should be backdated to start on 07-19-1865 - Juneteenth Freedom Day.)

Let us bring in "deprogrammers" and non-religious psychiatrists, so
that we can start relieving Black folks of Christian Cognitive Disorder or "CCD." This condition is rampant in the Black community. CCD is a deep mental affliction, an awful contagion that is initially induced by the influence of churches and preachers.

Never heard of "CCD?" Well - some of the symptoms of CCD include; grace-seeking, bigotry, religious arrogance, hyper-emotionality, an aversion to science, irrationality, voice-hearing, a strong belief in the supernatural without evidence, a fear of facts, and actually tithing.

Other known symptoms of CCD are: A compulsive attraction to books written by TV preachers, harboring delusions of being "blessed and highly favored" with no money in the bank, being open to spiritual advisement from preachers that wear pastel colored suits with matching shoes, and posessing a strong, active, willful ignorance.

Another positive community step we can take, is to hire good financial planners. They can assist our Black people in the ways of properly investing for themselves, using the billions of dollars that they formerly (we hope) gave to preachers. Putting those same funds into education, housing, businesses, retirement, a new roof, the rent, etc.

We need to develop a ZERO TOLERANCE of Black-On-Black crime. Those Black folks that steal, maim, threaten, rape, rob, molest, cheat, and kill other Black people should be imprisoned with maximum sentences, and then ostricized from the community. When they are released, send them over to the white community to live. It would be interesting to see how they would put up with these guys.

Now... If the white community sends them back to us, we can turn them into a useful commodity that can be offered through a special trade deal with China. The Chinese government has a need for more prisoners (to make I-Pods). We have a need for money. We will first have to meet with their trade people, and agree on a fair price.

Then, we must pick-up, pack-up, and export these homicidal motherfuckers to China, with them ultimately landing in cold, remote Manchurian slave labor prison camps, and away from us. Thereby turning death into dollars. These criminals are killing our babies - Fuck Um... Junebug needs to learn Chinese anyway (Ah So Nigger).

Our community should unequivocally ban gangs as a matter of community viability, personal safety, general tranquility, and Black business development. We, as a community, should lock, load, and assist the police in quickly putting down any gang activity. Identify, apprehend, prosecute, convict, and don't come back (try North Korea motherfucker).

If a safe community is good enough for white people, why should it not be good enough for us?

A white child can play on his front stoop without getting shot. Why can't yours? The last bullet came through your neighbor's window. The funeral is next Friday. The next bullet may come through YOUR window. Did you mail the insurance premium this month? Effectively dealing with this threat (however we decide to do it), is simply a matter of community will.

"That guy just shot a BABY to death..!"

"Don't snitch!!!" - "Really? Ok... Should we snitch if they kill you?"

Those gang guys are bad... BAD - so, why don't they go and drive-by shoot over in the white neighborhood? OH... They won't, because they know white people have lots of guns (despite any restricting local ordinances), and WILL justifiably "posse-up." They will use those guns against any action or individual, that threatens the peace of their community, and the safety of their children. We should do the same.

Believe me - the police won't mind.

White people don't MARCH. They shoot back. Did they march after Pearl Harbor? Did they march after 9-11? Will a march REALLY influence a fratricidal thug? ONE CAP busted by the community, with a trajectory going in the thug's direction (for a change), will have more influence on him than a thousand marches staged every day.

Lastly - let us put a moratorium on certain rap music. This craziness is nothing but fratricide - beautified, rhythmized, and put to music. These songs are about the joyful noise of Black people killing Black people. Homicidal sickness sung into mainstream normality. "Yes. I'd like my Corn Flakes with bullets please... Thank You." I haven't heard no rappers talking about KILLING WHITE PEOPLE. Have you? Neither have I heard of ANY rap incantations that disrespect white women.

Where are those songs?

How are we going to keep allowing certain people in our community to put words like ho, bitch, nigger, and other "words" to describe us and all of OUR mothers, sisters, and fathers, on a record - promoted and sold to anybody on the planet that wants to buy it - and the rest of us then expect people around the world to respect us?

Respect? Come on folks...

Right after certain people in our community have SOLD them the permission not to?

That's some damned good stuff you're smoking.

"Keep my name out ya mouth
Before them AK shells come straight in ya house
Won't stop 'till ya whole block layin' hit em all up buck buck
then we out
Fuck where you from nigga fuck what you 'bout
We can get it poppin'
Bodies start droppin'...
Death is knockin'
At your front door...
Talkin' and walkin'
You'll meet your coffin
Ain't no stoppin
When the Glock get to poppin'..."

By the rap artist known as - "50 Cent."

To just survive... We must make a change, because if we don't, the only place that Black people will be found, years from now, will be in exhibits. Stuffed and staged in Natural History museums, behind glass. Little white kids pointing: "Gran'pa, you knew people like this?"

Sarah Palin - Part 2

2009-07-30T17:23:00.000-05:00

Sarah Palin for president? Please refer to the Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric interviews, now available for viewing on YouTube. Make an informed decision from there.

Glenn Beck

2009-07-29T16:10:00.001-05:00

Now Obama is a racist? Are you running out of ideas Glenn?
Where is YOUR goddamned birth certificate? What are you trying to accomplish? Why don't you find some real issues to differ with? Instead of creating more false justifications. It looks like you get a real kick out of stirring-up the racist hordes even more than they already are. These people have been seething since election day, only because we have a Black president.

Now, what would you like to see happen?

The Republican Senate

2009-07-24T08:53:00.005-05:00

I would not be surprised to find at least 25 percent of "family values" Republicans, to be gay, Gay, GAY in the closet ("oooOOOH!!!... BABY... Don't knock the Bible off the nightstand..."). And at least 35 percent of these great politicians are involved in extra-marital affairs, or other improprieties, but are undiscovered as of yet. The stuff just keeps bubbling up!

Keep those "family values" COMING. And "Don't Get Caught."

Not A Citizen?

2009-07-21T19:39:00.004-05:00

"HE IS NOT A CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY!"

"WE WANT TO SEE HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE!"

This BIRTHER (?) hysteria that is being fanned by Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, White right-wing conservative Christians, Fox News network and certain Republican legislators, is creating an assassination atmosphere. If anything happens to President Obama, the principal fanners (Limbaugh, et al), should be arrested and prosecuted as accessories to murder.

A Bit Nervous

2009-07-12T20:19:00.001-05:00

I am one of the biggest supporters of President Obama. But I hope that this is his last large expenditure of TARP stimulus funds. It is time to let the economy take its natural course, and let the chips fall.

I think the deficit is getting a little too deep and we must be able to repay the money already spent in a reasonable period of time.

My Take on Pastor Rick Warren

Pastor Rick Warren is a liar. PERIOD.

Not Black Enough?

2009-07-09T14:42:00.009-05:00

Adam Clayton Powell

A conversation with some friends during the 2008 presidential campaign revealed a bit of latent racial nuttiness. I don’t know if it was the time of evening, the moon being in its last phase before fullness or the 1998 vintage wine. The conversation change came to whether then Senator Obama was “Black enough” (He's not? But President Clinton was?). That change of topic came out of the mouth of a dark-skinned Black woman that had her hair dyed a blazing shade of blonde.

My eyes latched onto her hair - I won’t say what I wanted to ask her.

The change of topic betrays again to me the extreme level of a-historical and anti-scientific thought that is simply the norm within my community. The then senator is exactly an African-American. Genetically, he probably has more African (or Black) in him than the average Black person in this country. The mix of African, European, some Native American, and some Asian elements is the basis of what makes an African American. There are no genetically pure Black people, at least, not in this country. I would say that ‘the mix’ is one of the main markers of “African-American-ness.” So what was she talking about?

Is it because his “mix” is recent and traceable? Or, is it something else?

Now – to me, I mean, if you want to sub-categorize Black folks, I think there are three kinds of "mixes" in this country that are born amongst us. I have my own terminology. There are: Early Mixes (born from 1619 to 1867 – the slave rape period), Middle Mixes (born from 1868 to 1960 - the miscengenation period) and Late Mixes (born from 1961 to the present – the mostly consensual, but-be-sure-to-check-anyway period). Hey - there you go, we’re all mixed. To hell with “biracial.” I roll with the “one drop rule.” I do so because - yes, there may be several categories to classify and identify, but there was and is only two kinds of treatment. White treatment, and Nigger treatment.

So – who among us is black enough?

My unresearched estimate is that almost half of the second generation (Early Mixes) of Black people born on American soil were of the same proportional mix of African and European genetics as Senator Obama. Ever hear of Frederick Douglass or Booker T. Washington? Same deal. And what we see now, are the ever continuing outcomes, from the many beautiful gifts of rape, generously given, by the OWNERS of our great-grandparents, to all the sexually desirable slave girls and women.

One must also consider, from then, till now, the racial mozaic that we now call "Black" comes from the genetic “early and middle period folding in” and "late period re-folding-in" of traits of different African ethnic groups, American Indian, Asian, and the further addition of occasional (consensual) European-American infusions. And that still expanding mozaic is as it is, from just us having relations with each other.

We have many Black people in this country that are genetically "whiter" than Obama (take Adam Clayton Powell - as a historic example). You see very light-skinned Black people with unmistakably African features. You see medium-brown and dark-skinned Black people with Asian features (especially in California). You see very dark-skinned Black people with European-like features (real light eyed - with no blue contacts!). All this diversity, within the community, with no recent sexual contact with self-identified whites or others.

Depending on the genetic matrix of a particular family, certain racial
traits (like some of the wide natural variations of Black hair texture) will manifest within that family, again and again, this because of genetic re-mixing and infusion processes. But there will be no mistaking that these folks ARE Black, and in most cases, will identify themselves as such. No Black person should ever question the genetic heritage of anyone who self-declares himself to be African-American.

Especially when you have certain Black folks that push back on the African-American label (like Tiger Woods). These people want to be known as “bi-racial” or “Cablinasian” (my computer’s spell-check does not recognize that last word), but they aspire to whiteness.

The strange thing about my people, when it comes to the treatment of those whose “mix” is recent and identifiable, is that we want to chase away the ones who voluntarily self-identify as one of us (“Senator Obama? Oh, he’s mixed – he ain’t all the way Black”). And we try to reel-in those who do not want to identify as one of us (“Tiger Woods need to quit, he know he Black”).

I say if Tiger wants to go, let him go.

Multi-racials and Cablinasians always find their way over to the Black side of the tracks whenever the power structure or the legal system puts a negative focus on the Negro part of their heritage.

Thaw out the wings, mix up some kool aid baby – company IS coming!

Like I said, I roll with the “one drop rule,” and by that standard, now President Obama, at least genetically, has a bigger drop than the majority of us.

Street Gangs and the Ku Klux Klan

2009-07-05T15:12:00.001-05:00

Does anyone believe that certain Black street gangs and the Ku Klux Klan have an agreement to finish off Black people? I think they do. The gangs seem to be doing a bang-up (no pun intended) job of completing what the Klan started. And I mean doing it with REAL enthusiasm for the job.

In America, it is all about getting paid. So I can't help but feel that there is some kind of connection ($$$).

I remember reading in our history when the racists used to have at least one public (and many private) lynching(s) a week. The Klan has pretty much retired from overt abuse and murder of Black people. A significant number of Klansmen have thankfully gone into law enforcement. But, because of the massive Klan pull-back from these activities - Black people, unfortunately, still exist. So, the task remains - urgently needing to be done.

Black street gangs across the country have largely taken over the important occupation of beating and shooting Black people to death. To society's benefit, they are doing a better job than the Klan ever could - they will even kill grandmothers and infant children!

At the rate that these street organizations are going, they may be able to cleanse the United States of Black people by 2034 (as per their agreement with the KKK).

How much is the Klan paying? Will there be a bonus?

I heard recently, that certain gangs are gearing up to accomplish the 2034 goal, by importing better guns and more efficient ammunition. They want to (hopefully) kill at least a thousand Black people a day!

With everyone in the community doing what they can to encourage and support these fine young men - they may be able to wipe us all out long before the target date.

It is so inspiring to witness young and intelligent Black men, putting such a great and positive determination into action.

"You either pistol-whoop the nigger, or you choke the trigger..."

Outkast

Sarah Palin - Part 1

2009-07-03T19:09:00.006-05:00

This bitch wants to be president?

Today she announced her resignation as governor of Alaska. Effective as of 07/26/2009. This is part of a strategy for a run in 2012. She needs time to raise money, meet people, make her platform known and relate better to the Republican leadership. She is not retiring from anything. My eyes are on her. Stay tuned.
