BTW: A Post on Nikki Minaj's FB Page

So all speech aside, I recently was reading a post someone posted on Nikki Minaj's page. Take a load of this:

Nicki, You need to really reevaluate yourself. You are the worst Atrocity to happen to the Black community. YOU DO NOT REPRESENT THE BLACK WOMAN! You are a degradation of the black woman and all the hard work and blood shed that our female ancestors put in. I’m not surprised at your comment about you voting for Romney and calling us lazy bitches who are fuking up the economy.

You are fuking up the young minds of potential Lawyers, doctors and maybe a president with the garbage you put out…… DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO FUKED UP THE ECONOMY???? It was your MASTERS, those devils who pay you to keep our people dumb and fitting the stereotype our ancestors died so we can step out of……. It was the greedy Jewish woman whose husbands own businesses and homes who collect more welfare than anyone. It was the 37% whites which outnumber Blacks and Latinos in recipients who receive and collect welfare.

It was the Rich who send their money to islands to escape taxin g….Leaving the middle class to pick up that bill. Have you even seen these politicians pay rates?????? What about 3 Billion of NONE Taxed US dollars that is being sent to ISREAL by our leaders???? What about the Trillions the US spends on War and building drones that are bombing huts that are worth less than $1.00 in the name of DEMOCRACY???? Should I keep going????? What about the money spent on 911, the money that us Tax payers (the middle class) had to pay because U.S. created the whole mess by training and supplying Al Queda with war material we paid for????? 

Did you even register to vote????   I’m more upset that your fans didn’t take notice on you calling them NAPPY HEADED HOES WHO NEED PERMS AND BELONG IN UR KITCHEN working as a SLAVE?????? That shit was DISRESPECTFUL and coming from a Black woman’s mouth is disgusting. Did you forget under all those wigs and perms you also have a nap or two……… You can put on all the blonde wigs, blue eyes, lighten skin you want….YOU WILL NEVER BE WHITE! Learn to love yourself………TRULY LOVE YOUSELF not the Clown you and your team created……   Have you ever heard of Sara Baartman?????

You are a plain disrespect to that beautiful woman who your MASTERS put in a cage and looked at as an ANIMAL EXHIBIT because of her ASS and CURVATIOUS BODY! And here you are doing the same thing WILLINGLY….. No wonder they still look at us as ANIMALS…. Cause of ppl like you who worship the dollar over your soul…… You and your whole team are the destruction of the black family!

When I read this I was just speechless. Here this person spoke her mind in a manner that wasn't just "I hate you, fake ass hoe". Who are the people we listen to? Where is pop music going to? Is music business just music or does it expose the ignorant savage animal part of us? Is it really about supporting poor people or supplying more for the rich? WHAT IS GOING ON? please feel free to post your comments

I Am Back

Hi everyone. I apologize for M.I.A status. Life happens and it sure did for me. Although I may have posted blog posts on my other blogs; I have been thinking about a lot of things:

 I lost touch on the Occupy Wall Street like a lot of people here in NYC. Seeing the movement going out of control with people defecating the streets and mentioning incessantly the 1%, I thought about a lot of things and listened to a few people's opinions on it. One person said "why not boycott the corporations?" and I thought "yeah why not?" Why not drop out of their factories and unite all the people you can to stay strong and stand until we can't stand strong?

 These people who sit down and talk about this movement: they have a finger on it. We here in the U.S. participate in a system where we only think about ourselves as consumers rather than acknowledge we need each other to keep this system alive. We need people in factories to keep manufacturing everyday objects we use today. We need people to teach and keep educating little people to keep making new things. We need each other but we forget that concept when we think about buying that new hot Gucci bag (or whatever brand you want to call it, I don't care).  We should do more than just open doors for each other and help each other up when we trip. We don't live in individual cubicles. We are worlds within a world.

So spread a little kindness. Someone will appreciate it and it will spread. Give that homeless woman a 5 dollar bill. Clothes you don't wear anymore, give them to a church or the goodwill. Do something rather than say it and do nothing. 

Tyler Perry on Racial Profiling

A few days before President Obama was supposed to speak at my studio, I was leaving the studio, headed to the airport. Most times when I leave the studio I have an unmarked escort. Other times I constantly check in my rearview mirror to be sure that I’m not being followed. It’s a safety precaution that my security team taught me. As I got to an intersection, I made a left turn from the right lane and was pulled over by two police officers. I pulled the car over and put it in park. Then, I let the window down and sat in the car waiting for the officer. The officer came up to the driver’s door and said that I made an illegal turn. I said, “I signaled to get into the turning lane, then made the turn because I have to be sure I’m not being followed.” He said, “why do you think someone would be following you?”

Before I could answer him, I heard a hard banging coming from the passenger window. I had never been in this position before so I asked the officer who was at my window what was going on and why is someone banging on the window like that. He said, “let your window down, let your window down. Your windows are tinted.” As I let down the passenger window, there was another officer standing on the passenger side of the car. He said, “what is wrong with you?” The other officer said to him, “he thinks he’s being followed.” Then, the second officer said, “why do you think someone is following you? What is wrong with you?”

Before I could answer the officer on the passenger side, the one on the driver’s side had reached into the car and started pulling on the switch that turns the car on and off, saying, “put your foot on the brake, put your foot on the brake!” I was so confused as to what he was doing, or what he thought he was doing. It looked like he was trying to pull the switch out of the dashboard. I finally realized that he thought that switch was the key, so I told him that it wasn’t the key he was grabbing. I reached down into the cup holder to get the key, not realizing that the key had a black leather strap on it. As I grabbed it they both tensed up and I dropped it as I heard my mother’s voice from when I was a little boy.

My mother would always say to me, “if you get stopped by the police, especially if they are white policemen, you say ‘yes sir’ and ‘no sir’, and if they want to take you in, you go with them. Don’t resist, you hear me? Don’t make any quick moves, don’t run, you just go.” My mother was born in 1945 into a segregated hotbed town in rural Louisiana. She had known of many colored men at the time who were lynched and never heard from again. Since I was her only son for ten years, growing up she was so worried about me. It wasn’t until after I heard her voice that I realized that both of these officers were white.

The officer on the driver’s side continued to badger me, “why do you think someone is following you?” I then said, “I think you guys need to just write the ticket and do whatever you need to do.” It was so hostile. I was so confused. It was happening so fast that I could easily see how this situation could get out of hand very quickly. I didn’t feel safe at all. But one officer stopped his questioning and said, “we may not let you go. You think you’re being followed, what’s wrong with you?” At this point, I told him that I wanted to get out of the car. I wanted the passersby to see what was happening.

As I stepped out of the car another officer pulled up in front of my car. This officer was a black guy. He took one look at me and had that “Oh No” look on his face. He immediately took both officers to the back of my car and spoke to them in a hushed tone. After that, one of the officers stayed near his car while one came back, very apologetic.

I said all of that to say this: do you see how quickly this could have turned for the worse?

Now I know that there are many great officers, patrolmen and security guys out there. I am aware of that. But although we have made significant strides with racial profiling in this country, the world needs to know that we are still being racially profiled, and until this situation has improved greatly, I’m not sure how a murder in Florida can be protected by a “stand your ground law.”

And in another case that I have been screaming at the top of my lungs about, also in Florida, is the case of Terrance Williams and Felipe Santos, a young black man and a young Mexican man. Eight years ago, in Naples, FL, they were both put in the back of Deputy Steve Calkins’ police car and never heard from again.

They were never arrested, never brought to jail. They were put into the back of Deputy Calkins’ car and never heard from again. And to this day Deputy Steve Calkins is a free man.

I guess it’s time to march in Naples now.

RACIAL PROFILING SHOULD BE A HATE CRIME INVESTIGATED BY THE FBI!!!

That way local government can’t make the decision on whether or not these people get punished.
