Shame on you Liz Trotta

I feel sorry for this woman. Is this what fair and balanced really means?

It's amazing that stuff like this slips under the radar.

But the thing that bothers me the most about this kind of thing is that deep down everyone fears for Obama's life in one way or another because the last time a leader was this popular with both black and white people he got shot.

This kind of thing is unacceptable and I am surprised there wasn't a bigger uproar.

Thug Fashion Rant.

This week I am making the conscious decision not to say ANYTHING about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Instead of my usually drivel, I am going to talk about something that I've been dying get off my chest. Now what I'm about to rant about may be considered frivolous by many of you but to me this is a VERY SERIOUS issue. It is one of those things that I find to be the tipping point in what some might call hip hop culture. This thing that haunts me whenever I see it, isn’t chicken bones in the street, it isn’t stretch marks on women wearing tight clothes who have no business in them?

No my friends this thing is far worse than any of that. This thing is what I like to call THUG FASHION FLUBS.

If you live in the hood you should not wear anything to do with NASCAR.
If you live in the hood you should not be wearing anything that sparkles. Stop with the sparkly skulls. WHAT’S WITH THAT?? Thugs don’t sparkle.
If you live in the hood you should not wear ANYTHING THAT IS DAY GLO. That includes AIR FORCE ONES that are BRIGHT GREEN WITH NEON PINK SHOE LACES!

Now don’t get me wrong this is not a homophobic rant. This is more about IMAGE.

YOU CAN’T BE TOUGH AND SPARKLE AT THE SAME TIME!

Sorry but WHO ARE YOU SCARING WEARING THAT SH*T??

I thought keeping it hood was about resiliency in the face of the harsh reality of the urban experience. I thought keeping it hood was about toughness. HOW YOU GONNA BE TOUGH IN SOME PINK AIR FORCE ONES!

And WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT NASCAR JACKET. Do you even know what NASCAR STANDS FOR?? Why are you a walking BILLBOARD???

I’m sorry, maybe it’s my old age or maybe it’s just my GENERAL FASHION SENSE.

Mid-Week Rant 5-14-08

Can I just get some stuff of my chest....

How many times have you heard or read the following statement:

Clinton's largest margins, were registered among voters at the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder. Among white voters without a college degree.

So if you are a white person who makes under $30,000 a year and didn't go to college, chances are you are a Hillary supporter.

What is the elitist media really saying when they keep repeating this stat??

I'll tell ya: Dumb white people like Hillary.

I honestly do not believe that because I would like to think that poor white folk can think for themselves and make their own decisions.

But that's not what I want to talk about today. Today I want to talk about one of my favorite topics. RACE. Wait...Hear me out before you click away and go to another blog.

Obama's foot soldiers encounter name-calling, vandalism, bomb threats

Yes ladies and gentlemen racism is alive and well and white people are finding out day by day that if you volunteer for a black candidate for president the chances of your life being threatened are heightened.

What is this the 60's? Don't these white people know racism is over? This kind of behavior is very disturbing.....Ok if you can't tell I'm being sarcastic.

It's amazing that these incidents are being reported just as the primary season is coming to a close.

You may go now....Wait don't go

Question: Who does Hillary Clinton have to pay to change the laws of mathematics in order for her to win the Democratic nomination?

Because at this point that’s what it’s going to take for her to win.

Question: If the math is against you, how can you raise money for your campaign?
Answer: Loan the money to yourself!

I love how the media is now calling for her to drop out. I totally disagree. I want Hillary Clinton to stay in this until it is over. Yes it will be a little humiliating for her when she has to tell her supporters that she has to bow out. But a little humble pie is good for the soul.

Last night Obama won North Carolina, and lost in Indiana. I’m very happy about this. But I take nothing for granted. Obama could say something stupid or a crack-head friend could come out the woodwork and then we’d be back to square one.

But I digress. Hillary Clinton needs to stay in this race and the media needs to shut up. Whenever there have been calls for Mrs. Clinton to leave the race it always ends up firing up her base and then it looks like the media is making her the victim and then that sets the stage for another so-called “comeback”.

The math is not on her side. So why is she still in the race? What does she have to prove?

I think it is pride. But in the words of the great Marsellus Wallace, “That's pride fucking with your head. Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps.”

Never truer words spoken in cinema.
