Barack The Magic Negro?!

Okay so I heard this song a little bit ago as it was making it’s way around youtube and emails and I have to say it’s pretty offensive on many levels to many people. I understand that this is a satirical piece (similar to the cover of  The New Yorker, with Barack dressed like Osama Bin Laden and Michelle as Angela Davis, months ago). I get that it’s supposed to be offensive and cause a stir, but when is offensive too offensive? when do we realize that even though controversy sells, it lowers our image and integrity. Come on people, we have to wisen up a bit. It’s a new day.

(Shouts to BJ for the video)

Now on to this guy

Larry Elder.
I have seen this guy around quite a bit on these news channels and it’s always the same. He’s an ass. Bottom line, no way around it. He’s written a few books (which I won’t plug by name or supply a website for to support) that I guess makes him feel he’s an expert on things. He’s a black republican, which I have no problem with. Heck, I’m a black libertarian/independent. But I mention that he is a black republican because it seems to me that in his eyes the republican party can do no wrong. At least that’s how it seems to be to me. He calls himself the “Sage from South Central” but seems more like the “Coon from California”.  Dude seems, and his bio shows, highly educated but  like Nana Sincere says ‘you can pay for school, but you can’t buy class”. Honestly, he’s real hit and miss with me though. it’s like he panders to the audience or host as opposed to be real and true to how he really feels about something.

Now back to the video. I understand we live in a politically correct world and that we are way too oversensitive when it comes to any and everything but did that somehow desensitize us? Has oversensitivity actually desensitized us? Hmmm… What I mean by that is, are we the little boy on the mountain? Have we been crying wolf for so long that when something offensive actually comes along that we can’t recognize it for what it really is?

Random Thoughts Of The Day

So I was off from work today and home alone. That is not a good combination, because this gives me time for some deep concentration and thinking. Whenever I do some deep thinking it either goes terribly good or horribly bad. It’s hard to tell. Here are some of the random thoughts that crossed my mind today.

Why is there nothing on daytime television?

Why am I watching something again, that I’ve seen a million times, as if it’s my first time? With suspense and all…

How can I become a critic for real? Like for real, for real.

I really need some more real life friends…

I wonder where my old Air Force friends are right now?

I have a big crush on Kelly Ripa.

Soulja Boy is so aggravating! But I can’t hate on his business .

’09 is mine, leave the hate in ’08… Hmm let’s see if that catches on

I wonder if Law and Order is on? No matter which version, they’re all dope and addictive.

This Neyo Video (Mad) is confusing… Ohhhh!! I get it now. Kinda like that movie Ghost or What Dreams May Come ish.. I guess.

Okay no more ShopNBC today!

This new Scarface (Emeritus) is crack!

Hey That’s Clay ‘Sheeeeeeiiiiiiittt!!’ Davis from ‘The Wire’ on Law and Order Criminal Intent

How come a cop killer is now playing a cop, Mr. Ice T?

If you eat with your mouth open I hope something flies in it and you die! You nasty muhtha fuh!!!

Start planning now for Cropover (Barbados) in August…

My finger looks funny… Hmmm, make an appt tomorrow

Whatever happened to Innocent until proven guilty?

I miss recess.. Heck, I miss elementary school.

Okay that’s enough for today. Since I write everything down or voice record it, I have lots more stashed away.  I just wanted to share a few.

Peace
