Where The Bleep Do We Go From Here?

Where The Bleep Do We Go From Here?

Who knows? Seemingly, to hell in a handbasket based on recent chain of events. I guess every few years, the NYPD needs to show that they really don't care about black folks. It took 50 shots for Sean Bell and his two friends to get the hint, Black men are still America's Most Wanted. The twisted irony of the entire situation was that the first cop to fire had never fired his weapon in 12 years of service. Never fired his gun before, but managed to squeeze off 31 shots! That means he reloaded and kept firing, because he saw what appeared to be a gun in the car or may have failed to properly identify himself before pulling his gun and was rammed by the vehicle. Wow!

The world is still up in arms over the comments made by "Kramer", just about three weeks ago at his comedy show. Everyone's going crazy over his blatant use of the dreaded "n-word", nevermind the hate and venom that he spewed it with. Nevermind the comment that "50 years ago we would've had you hung upside down with a fork in your ass" or him questioning the idea of this black man even thinking to interrupt him. Bigger than him using the "n-word", was him suggesting that this man didn't know his place, to paraphrase Willie Beamon '...it ain't racism, it's placism'.

In 2006, we still have to know our place, how dare we talk when the great white man is talking? However, all of that is ignored and that word has been pushed to the forefront of all of this chaos, and the "er" "ga" debate rages on. The dormant NAACP and such "leaders" as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are calling for a band on the usage of the word, pointing to the hip-hop community to step up to the plate. Of the first to speak out on the usage was Paul Wall, but isn't he white? This is not his discussion, when we move to ban grillz, he's the first person that needs to be talked to. Paul Mooney, who along with Richard Pryor practically made the word famous and mainstream has vowed never to use it in his act again, I got two words for him, Nigga Please!

Now, before I took it down last night, I did manage to catch some of the Billboard Awards, well just enough to know it was horrible. The Billboard Awards are meant to celebrate the top sellin artisits of the year in the various musical genres, so why was Janet Jackson opening the show? She's still living in a time warp, she swears its 1986 and even performed a verse of "The Pleasure Principle" before going into some inaudible trash! Janet's album sold less copies than my debut album, she needs to give it up, go have some babies and lose the fake abs!

So, what's happening in your place in the world? As for me, I ran out of sleep at about 2am and have been up every since! I'm trying to avoid taking a sleeping pill, but it's only so long you can stay on MySpace looking for long lost friends!
