The Punk In Chief

I'm thoroughly disappoint with our first (and last) Black president.

Barack Obama has proved to be just like all the Democrats who have reached national prominence since the Fall of Richard Nixon... proved to be a bitch on his knees and his mouth wide open to accepts a pulsating penis for the GOP members of Congress.

Sure, I'm a liberal, in fact, some would accuse me of being socialist, but regardless of the monikers that you might hang on me, Barack Obama has shown that he doesn't have a set of steel balls to beat down the Republican/Confederates who are STILL controlling things in the National Legislature, even though the Democrats have a so-called majority in both houses of Congress!!!

Bill Maher used to ragged on Barack Obama all summer as the health care debate started heating up, because Obama pulled the Single-Payer System off the table from jump.  I don't know about you, but that's piss-poor negotiating... particularly with those cretinous GOP bastards.  To not ask for the moon and the stars -- and announce it to the American people -- was just criminally ignorant, and demonstrates no spine or no willingness to really hand it to the  RNC and the nobs that serve in it and under it.  If the Single-Payer Plan was what Obama initially launched, then the water-down by lobbyists and special interest bill that would now becoming out of the House and the Senate would be much more robust than the laughable excuse that Nancy Pelosi announced yesterday.

Have you heard about the details for this bill?  It has no teeth in negotiating with hospitals and doctors for optimal payments for services.  And states can opt out of the so-called Public Option that's been offered up?  Not to mention that you can't get on the Public Option unless you are completely unable to get insured through your employer.  And I don't know what the House Bill says about Pre-existing conditions, but I'm sure it's some Sad Sister attempt to make good on something that is handled criminally currently.

Barack Obama has been pussyfooted on health care, the wars in the infernal Middle East and he's thrown the Gays under the bus... I'm not sure where and when he's going to come through on any of the campaign shit that he promised.  But you know his biggest campaign corporate donor was Goldman Sachs, so I don't any kind of real economic reform of the Middle Class can ever occur.  Notice how I didn't mention anything about the Economy as something that we must hold Obama's feet to the fire about, because no President and help The Economy -- they can FUCK IT in the ass with no vaseline the way Bill Clinton did by repealing the Glass Steagall Act and enacting the 1996 Telecommunicatons Act, and championing then signing into law NAFTA.  Thanks, Bill, thanks a lot!

Obama, like some many other Democrats, are looking to forge laws through bi-partisanship.... why the fuck is that part of the agenda?  The GOP never attempt for bi-partisanship, the GOP encourage divisive rhetoric and behavior, the GOP ram it down your throat if you mess with them... and they're unapologetic about it.  Also, if there was a need for bi-partisanship legislation, why is the need for a majority important?  Why are parties important?  Those divisions exist, because Right Wing Factions are all about swindling people under the prostituted rubric of "capitalism and the American Way."  Is the American Way about stripping people of their money, making them slaves to debt holders and banks, refusing the general citizens affordable health care and empowering the Corporations so they have more power and RIGHTS (yes, Constitutionally protected RIGHTS) than human beings!

Maybe the only thing Obama hasn't shown his ass on is nominating Sotomayor to the Supreme Court... but he still hasn't figured out how to checkmate that Uncle Tom Clarence Thomas...

Choices

Fuck, why did I get so many credit cards!?!!

Today, after being told that my unemployment checks -- due to disqualification -- won't kick in until Thanksgiving Week (applied on August 14th), I went down to the Welfare Office (aka Department of Public Social Services) to apply for Food Stamps. Yeah, it's gotten that bad for me. I'd been looking for a job since August 2008, when I was tired of being the "bitch" ay my job (me! of all people). And after a year of looking, I got nowhere -- and then I was laid the fuck off by this shit ass insurance company (Houston Casualty Company, like they don't have surplus money).

The thing about going to the various public/governmental services offices (and I've been to a few recently: court house for moving violations, court house to file suit against two different landlords, housing department to track down my shady as fuck landlord Steven "Magic Steve" Ringel, etc.) is that you get to see firsthand people who have slipped through the cracks... of the employment cycle, that is. The people look worn down, beat, malnourished (like myself at this point), of a questionable sartorial aesthetic, sometimes saddle with children (who are fucking up their lives, and whose lives they're fucking up -- as poverty has grip that's harder and harder to break these days), and a healthy amount of people of color -- I would say minorities, but in this environment, whites are the minorities (even the workers ain't white). However, the white people ARE down here are the downtrodden dregs; what Nelly Fuller would have called White Sacrifices (further discussion in another post probably, check back in a couple of days). They look like bath water is their mortal enemy, and their dental work is shabby (which reminds me, I'm applying for Medi-Cal, so I can get some much needed dental work done).

There worst thing about waiting for my name to be called is the decor and the lighting. The ugly as fuck white and the ghastly yellow-green that comes from the old and semi-flickering florescent bulbs.

The white woman nagging the black man next to me about how to fill out the form is really annoying. Why can't she just shut her mouth and recognize that she made a bad choice, cut her losses and then keep stepping?

When my number is finally called, I go into the Interview section of the DPSS and meet with a Chinese woman who has pretty thick accent... I have to keep yelling at her through the 2-inch glass to repeat herself.

She wants to know if I live alone, and I have to lie about that one (but it's basically true) and then I have to tell her about why I'm not getting Unemployment--I took money from the state of California in the fall of 2007 because I needed more money to survive, even though working at that shit-ass insurance company--so I'm not getting those subsistence-only checks. The state sent me a bill for the money I took while working, and then claimed that I'd be disqualified for 11 weeks (then it became 15 weeks) if I applied for Unemployment Insurance within 3 years (it would be three years in January, fuckers).

I have to provide my bank statements, which have negative balances, and proof that my rent is super-high and unpaid for this month (and it will be unpaid next month, too). What I don't have is my car registration and the statement from the EDD stating that I'm on disqualification status until Thanksgiving (I'm calling those fuckers tomorrow and asking for an appeal on that 15-week period).

I can't shit-talk my landlord, he did drop my rent by $100, but he's not going to be happy with me. This is one of those reasons why I wish I was paying a mortgage, because I could string the bank a long a little longer than a landlord.

The thing is I haven't eaten in two and a half days, and I need this Chinese bitch to approve my Food Stamp allowance ASAP. But she won't, because she needs these other documents, which I can't fax to her today. I need to come back in on Tuesday -- that means all weekend without eating -- because she's not in the office on Monday (what the fuck is she doing taking a vacation? As a California state employ they're forced to take every other Friday off, because the state can't figure out how to collect enough revenue to deal with all the social services its supposed to provide (in Los Angeles they're cutting back on the police force! yeah, LAPD is getting paired down, ain't that a bitch!!?!).

I try to see if I can come back in an hour with the documents that she needs, but she says she's going on lunch and then she'll have other clients to see. I'm saying to myself, "bitch, you can eat you, but know that I'm not going to be able to eat until you get me my Food Stamps! (and then I still need gas money to get to the grocery store!).

My case worker just isn't budgeting, keeps going back to her default reply, "come in on Tuesday with necessary documents and hopefully I can approve your Food Stamps."

See the tough part is providing her my car registration (something else she wants to see), because while I have paid it, I still have some unpaid tickets that I'm arguing against so I don't have my new yellow 2010 tag for my car.. which is sitting in my parking space for the past month, 'cause I ain't driving it on the streets of LA with 7 month old tags (I don't even know when I can get the $414 to pay those tickets off either... they're from last year, when I struggling financially).

The one saving grace that I have is, I'm suing my previous landlord for keeping my security deposit from back in October of 2008. I taking Steve Ringel to small claims for $6900 (I had medical bills that were the result of staying in his building that was infested with mold, which I'm highly allergic to, so I'm asking for that, plus I had to borrow money via payday loans to pay for the security deposit of my current place, which I could have easily paid back, if this little shit Steve Ringel didn't decide to keep my security deposit.

Anyway, I tried to serve Steve Ringel papers but he provided the city with false place of residence and hasn't paid the Housing Department the yearly fee for being able to rent out his property.

I hunted down Ringel's potentially real address, and expect to have the LA Sheriff's serve him this week, as the tentative court date is November 16, 2009. If court goes well, I can look to pocket $6900 in a few short weeks. I'm going to file all the necessary paperwork to get access Ringel's bank account and other assets to make him pay me.

So this entry is called "Choices" and as you can see I've made some bad choices over the last couple of years and they're really biting me in the ass right now.

The biggest one was taking a job as the office bitch at that insurance company. I mean I was ready and actively looking to get a new gig for over year, before they finally handed me my walking papers.

The thing that has kept me afloat in Los Angeles for more than half of this decade of making less than $25k/year is the honed financial mind that I have, but the shrewd manipulators who ass-raped the economic system made it so my choices were magnified when the bad juju came back at me. The thing is with just a couple of breaks the other way, I'd be sitting pretty right now. The stock picks that I wanted to put money behind during the height of last years turmoil would have more than doubled since I made my imaginative choice. Would that had the money to place those bets, I could borrow against those securities now and stretch out my living situation. However, I'm prevented from making that choice, because of other questionable choices that I made in the last 5 years.

See 5 years ago, I was looking to join the Foreign Service, and was getting ready to do so when I got my first writing gig in Hollywood. And they kept me here in Los Angeles, but I shouldn't have stopped pursuing the Foreign Service goal. Hollywood is really a anti-nigger machine bastion, because it spews out the images that keep black people down more than anything else. And they don't hire or buy Intellectual Property from black nearly enough, even when it could be superior.

But I had a huge amount of hubris, which prevented me from changing careers and/or excelling in my chosen career (it's rare that somebody wants to hire a really smart nigger or even help them out). So the choice to stay in Hollywood and get typecast as the "urban comedy" writer -- Hollywood exec code for "nigger comedies with limited budget and limited upside potential that we'll only make one or two of a year.

Anyway, where ever you are in life, it's because of the choices that you made. And you can only blame or credit yourself for the good or bad places that you've been at, are at now or will be at.

Radio - The Mouthpiece of the Foot On Your Neck

New York City was, is and always will be the Mecca of Hip-hop, and its radio stations desire to hold the much-sought after title of "The Arbiter of Pop Urban Black Culture for the Youth" -- that's a mouthful, but a better euphemism might the station that "keeps it the realist." As if that's something with any true weight in the context of the world.

But anyway, New York's Hot 97(WQHT-FM) has been the epicenter of controversy, as rappers are using the radio as their soapbox to take a piss on rival rappers. For instance (from 3/14/05 NYTimes):

Late last week the rapper Jadakiss had a personal message for his rival 50 Cent: "You should just sell clothes and sneakers cause out of your whole camp your flow's the weakest." He chose not to relay the message by fax or two-way pager, nor did he pick up the phone. Instead, Jadakiss turned to an outlet that has become an increasingly popular avenue for communication and conflict within the world of hip-hop: the radio station Hot 97.

Releasing "diss records" has been a mainstay in hip-hop, an extension of the problematic extreme Alpha Male syndrome that corrupts the way Black men conduct themselves in the ghettos and is spilling over to the suburbs.

Now Jadakiss could not have chosen a bigger megaphone. Hot 97, which is owned by the Indianapolis-based Emmis Communications Corporation, is the No. 2 station among listeners in New York City and has been No. 1 in the city's 18-34 demographic for nearly a decade. It earns an estimated $40 million annually in revenue, putting it in the top five of Emmis's 25 radio stations. That's a HEFTY as fuck sum, lets you what kind of real $$$$ hip-hop and its exploitation of nigga culture generates THAT THE ARTISTS SEE VERY LITTEL OF. But in recent months Hot 97 has been buried in bad publicity. Critics contend that Hot 97 has tilted from credible arbiter of rap trends to ratings-hungry promoter of violence and racism. This had to happen, because invariably the commercial exploitation of Blacks is going to invite charges of racism, racist behavior from Blacks and whites and some down-right fuckshit, aka "it's a black thang... you wouldn't undastand!"

If not marred by enough senseless and pointless violence, ...two weeks ago, gunfire erupted in front of Hot 97's Greenwich Village offices, shortly after 50 Cent announced on the air that he was booting his protégé, the Game, from his G-Unit clique. The incident, coincidentally, occurred on the first day of the rapper Lil' Kim's perjury trial, stemming from her account of a 2001 shoot-out in front of Hot 97. All of this follows the monthlong battering Hot 97 has endured for airing a song mocking victims of the tsunami tragedy. Did this, I wonder, make national news? It just shows the callousness that young Black people exude -- a callousness that is justified, because young Blacks are systematically just as disenfranchised as the tsunami victims... yet their plight ain't called a tradegy; it's called niggas being lazy... by those who keep a foot on the Black man's neck.

The effect has pointed up, at the very least, how commerce on the cutting edge of hip-hop culture can go awry. I just said it earlier, but if you thnk about it any kind of commercial exploitation of Black culture goes awry, because whites are stripmining and niggas are trippin' from their lack of even the basic knowledge of the tenants of U.S. capitalism. And the recent events may impose another real-world price on the station: the landlord of the building that houses Hot 97 has threatened to oust the station, citing a track record of shootings, fights and "severe verbal abuse of security and building management personnel."

Emmis executives say they are simply trying to maintain their balance.

"We don't want to do anything that provokes or encourages or escalates any kind of violent behavior between camps," said Rick Cummings, president of Emmis's radio division. "By the same token, I can't have the radio station being viewed as a sellout or less than genuine by the younger part of the audience."This, and this alone can go A LONG way in explaining the blighted existence of the American Negro, why he is still a slave, a hustler who's overhead is in EXACT accordance to what his hustle brings in, an ignorant free man who seeks the stabilty of working a wage-slave position and smoking up a good deal of his or her earnings to combat the effects of being in constanct survival mode. What kills me the muthafuckin' most is that

The stakes are high. While considered a kingpin of rap radio, the station is facing increased competition from upstart Power 105.1 (WWPR-FM), which is owned by the radio giant Clear Channel Communications. Though Hot 97 still has a comfortable lead over Power 105 in the 18-34 demographic - the "money demographic," according to radio analysts - Power 105, for the first time since its inception two years ago, managed to beat Hot 97 in overall ratings. Management may also be worried, industry observers say, because Star and Buc Wild, once wildly popular (and controversial) morning show D.J.'s at Hot 97, are now perched at Power 105.1.

Meanwhile, local activists are calling for an overhaul of the station. Rosa Clemente, a leading organizer of an anti-Hot 97 rally held earlier this month, accused the station of promoting music filled with misogynistic and violent content. "They call themselves the place where hip-hop lives," she said, "but hip-hop does not live there. A culture of greed and disrespect lives at Hot 97." The Rev. Al Sharpton and several state and local lawmakers recently asked Federal Communications Commission to turn its attention to the station. And along with every other major radio broadcaster in the area, Emmis has received a subpoena from Eliot Spitzer, New York's attorney general, for information on its promotional practices.

"We have run into a string of rotten luck here," Mr. Cummings said in an interview, "but if you look at us over the last 17 years, I think the record is pretty stellar."

But Hot 97 is not the only Emmis station that has landed in hot water. Only last summer, Emmis agreed to pay $300,000 to resolve complaints of indecency against a Chicago D.J. In settling the charges with a F.C.C. increasingly intolerant of indecency on the airwaves in the wake of last year's Super Bowl halftime show, Emmis committed itself to a plan to prevent future violations. (Emmis also owns 16 television stations and Los Angeles magazine and Texas Monthly.)

Predatory Banks Exposed as Part of Anti-Nigger Machine!

I was listening to the Public Radio International show TO THE POINT yesterday and the main story was about how Blacks an Latinos have a disproportionately high level of home foreclosures... the reason behind this? A resurfacing and repackaging of an old technique that white people used to fuck with people of color, this time it's called REVERSE REDLINING!!! This is where the insidious bankers/mortgage brokers specifically target Black and Latino homeowners and sucker them in to taking out subprime loans on their homes. Not because these people have bad credit ratings, far from it! Their only crime could have just been being financial ignorant (truth be told, many of those exotic subprime loans are DESIGNED to confuse the borrower) and that banks, all the major banks, have systematically pulled out of servicing the so-called Ghetto.

Criminally evil bank Wells Fargo was particular malignant and malicious in its predatory activity. They're being sued by the City of Baltimore for their wide-spread practice of reverse redlining. Employees have stated under oath that they called Blacks and Hispanics, "Mud People" and were going to saddle "these idiots with ghetto loans." I'm surprised there hasn't been any emails released outlining this Anti-Nigger Machine Practice.

We can once again place the blame of this fucking with Blacks at the feet of the Dubya Bush Administration's policies. Dubya was all about having as many people as possible own homes -- irrespective of their qualifications for that or if it was economically feasible to have some much home ownership... because we saw how this drive for everyone to have their house with the picket fence artificially inflated home prices across the board.

We can also blame Dubya Bush for the outrageous level of consumer spending that went on in the wake of 9/11. Remember when that Texas fuckwad got up on the mic and damn near begged Americans to going to buy, buy, buy to spur the economy!

Thanks a lot, Dubya!

The problem with banks like Wells Fargo and Washington Mutual (uh... Chase now) is that they pushed and pushed and pushed these loans on unsuspecting Black people. In the TO THE POINT story, one of the guests recounts that in Atlanta there were task forces, TASK FORCES!!! that were set up to prevent these ANM vultures from co-opting Black Home Owners with "equity in your house that you're wasting" at Church! At Church!

What the Fuck Is Wrong With These People?!!?! Oh, I forgot, that Dubya Bush motto of get in a home and then self-rape your home by pulling out the equity so you can buy some more shit under conspicuous consumption ideals that you don't really need. The sad thing is, it wasn't just white people peddling these loans to financial illiterate people of color; lots of Uncle Tom-type card-carrying GOP Blacks and Hispanics were enlisted to "work with your people."

A record pace of home foreclosures is taking its biggest toll on blacks and Hispanics. Did big lenders conduct a new kind of housing discrimination by pushing sub-prime loans to minorities hoping for a piece of the American dream?

Getting Fucked in the ass HURTS no matter who's doing it!

This week the Obama Administration has enacted edicts to cap executive pay for financial companies and the big banks. Bravo, bravo, bravo.

Now many critics are clamoring that this is socialist, that this yanks the core out of capitalism (being paid a heinously high wage for your skill set), and that it'll stifle competition or cause a "brain drain" at this top

The so-called skill that these top financial wizards really have is the moxy to bet large and bet large often where the odds of success are rigged to work out, but in the extreme happenings that the bets don't pay off, Satan comes calling to the American Taxpayer.

The upper level managers at the big banks WILL NOT be hurting by having actually salary caps, because they're getting unlimited compensation in stock options... which means that the quest to drive up the stock prices (short term gain over long term growth once again) will continue to put at risk everyone else's wealth. Not to mention that these people will be able to borrow against the future worth of the stock options (that will no doubt be worth a lot, because these oligarchs WILL ensure that the stock price continues to rise -- at the expense of what else? who knows, but surely it's at the expense of the lower classes' pensions and future well-being.

My bunghole hurts just thinking about how big of dildo Wall Street is going to shove up it -- with no vaseline -- next time.

I heard something today, which has to be bullshit, but probably not and I'll have to do some research to find out. In any event, the tidbit of news was that Bank of America will be charging its credit card customers a few who PAY OFF THEIR ENTIRE BALANCE EACH MONTH! Yeah, seriously you must pay Bank of America interest fees if you carry a balance or pay a fee just to keep the card if you carry no balance (and they have the nerve to maintain the name "bank of america", should be the "bank of the soviet republic").

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's too close to what a bullshit credit card company like First Premier does (you have to pay $6/month "service" fee... regardless if you have a balance or not just to keep your account open... on top of the annual fee and any interest charges you get for whatever balance you have).

Take the dick out of my ass BofA, please!?!!?

Wells Fargo, run by cheap fucker John G. Stumpf, no doubt has something similar in the works that they'll announce shortly.

It would seem that American Express isn't such a bad option with their $55 annual fee... at least if you're the type of person who doesn't want to carry a credit card balance and uses the credit card as a cash substitute, not a loan. Getting a loan these days is just a pernicious hassle if banks like BofA and Wells Fargo are going to spread your buttchecks and expand your sphincter with a baseball bat.

The Oligarchical power that the Wall Street Banks exhibit, subtly, is really a direct result of Ronald Reagan's presidency. Remember President Eisenhower's Farewell Speech, in which he warned about the heinous and pernicious power grab that the Military Industrial Complex was working? Well, during Reagan's administration, he fucking embraced the Military Industrial Complex and made the majority of Americans think it was unpatriotic not to do so!!!

You want to know why America can pay for healthcare and why Social Security is such an atomic bomb in national politics? Because of Reagan's excessive military spending on programs that were just complete bullshit designed to line the pockets of rich fucks. Remember SDI? The Strategic Defense Initiative? It was Reagan's military business CEOs wanting more money, and Reagan pushed through the spending measure on some program in which laser satellites were going to shoot down Soviet ICBMs... yeah,... how completely idiotic does that sound. Considering the fact that no one knows if ICBMs actually will work... they've never been tested! Do yo know that! The idea of sending missiles over the North Pole is lunacy, because who knows if the extreme magnetism won't trip up the guidance system.

That's why the nuclear submarine fleet is of infinite more importance, we know those SAM warheads actually work.

But Reagan tricked the public into thinking that America needed to outspend the Soviets, when it was known by the CIA DURING NIXON'S TIME that the Soviets were no real military threat... and yet, for another 15 years money was wasted on building up the military at the expense of reducing the deficit, money that could have been spent on renewable energy. Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed on the White House (which Reagan tore down like the complete jackass that he was), and just imagine if Reagan did help orchestrate Carter's defeat by colluding with the Ayatollah Khomenini and Carter's policies on getting the US off its oil addiction had been in effect for the another 4 years? Where would we be known regarding the quest for Green Energy Sources? A lot fucking further than we are now... but Exxon and the rest of Big Oil was funding Reagan and the rest of the GOP SOBs... to the benefit of whom? The top CEOs, Board Members and major block shareholders... at the expense of the planet and the American taxpayers wallets.

Reagan jammed a fat dick up our asses and we still can't get it out, because we now have to make hard as FUCK decisions regarding healthcare, social security and green energy... all the while letting the

If the US had adopted Carter's ideals about renewable energy, the Jihadi movement wouldn't be so powerful, because by around 1990 to 1994, the US wouldn't need so much oil from the Middle East and its zealots wouldn't have thought of the World Trade Center as such a massive target.

Can we take Reagan's cock out of our ass now? Please, it's still hurts even though it's been pumping in and out for the past 25 years...

White Man Admits to Wide-Spread Racism Among Whites

Andrew M. Manis is associate professor of history at Macon State College in Georgia and wrote this for an editorial in the Macon Telegraph.

Andrew M. Manis: When Are WE Going to Get Over It?

For much of the last forty years, ever since America "fixed" its race problem in the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, we white people have been impatient with African Americans who continued to blame race for their difficulties. Often we have heard whites ask, "When are African Americans finally going to get over it?

Now I want to ask:

"When are we White Americans going to get over our ridiculous obsession with skin color?
Recent reports that "Election Spurs Hundreds' of Race Threats, Crimes" should frighten and infuriate every one of us. Having grown up in "Birmingham" Alabama in the 1960s, I remember overhearing an avalanche of comments about what many white classmates and their parents wanted to do to John and Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King.

Eventually, as you may recall, in all three cases, someone decided to do more than "talk the talk."

Since our recent presidential election, to our eternal shame we are once again hearing the same reprehensible talk I remember from my boyhood.

We white people have controlled political life in the disunited colonies and United States for some 400 years on this continent.

Conservative whites have been in power 28 of the last 40 years. Even during the eight Clinton years, conservatives in Congress blocked most of his agenda and pulled him to the right. Yet never in that period did I read any headlines suggesting that anyone was calling for the assassinations of presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan, or either of the Bushes. Criticize them, yes.

Call for their impeachment, perhaps. But there were no bounties on their heads. And even when someone did try to kill Ronald Reagan, the perpetrator was non-political mental case who wanted merely to impress Jody Foster.

But elect a liberal who happens to be Black and we're back in the sixties again. At this point in our history, we should be proud that we've proven what conservatives are always saying -- that in America anything is possible, EVEN electing a black man as president.

But instead we now hear that school children from Maine to California are talking about wanting to "assassinate Obama."

Fighting the urge to throw up, I can only ask, "How long?"

How long before we white people realize we can't make our nation, much less the whole world, look like us?

How long until we white people can - once and for all - get over this hell-conceived preoccupation with skin color?

How long until we white people get over the demonic conviction that white skin makes us superior?

How long before we white people get over our bitter resentments about being demoted to the status of equality with non-whites?

How long before we get over our expectations that we should be at the head of the line merely because of our white skin?

How long until we white people end our silence and call out our peers when they share the latest racist jokes in the privacy of our white-only conversations?

I believe in free speech, but how long until we white people start making racist loudmouths as socially uncomfortable as we do flag burners?

How long until we white people will stop insisting that blacks exercise personal responsibility, build strong families, educate themselves enough to edit the Harvard Law Review, and work hard enough to become President of the United States, only to threaten to assassinate them when they do?

How long before we start "living out the true meaning" of our creeds, both civil and religious, that all men and women are created equal and that "red and yellow, black and white" all are precious in God's sight?

Until this past November 4, I didn't believe this country would ever elect an African American to the presidency. I still don't believe I'll live long enough to see us white people get over our racism problem.

But here's my three-point plan:

First, everyday that Barack Obama lives in the White House that Black Slaves Built, I'm going to pray that God (and the Secret Service) will protect him and his family from us white people.

Second, I'm going to report to the FBI any white person I overhear saying, in seriousness or in jest, anything of a threatening nature about President Obama.

Third, I'm going to pray to live long enough to see America surprise the world once again, when white people can "in spirit and in truth" sing of our damnable color prejudice,

"We HAVE overcome."

Dow Flirts with 10,000?!!?!? Where's My Wealth?!??!

So after a YEAR of dismal results and a Nero Burning Rome loss of wealth for the overwhelming majority of investors, the Dow Jones Industrial Average breached the 10,000 mark today -- only briefly though. That's a level the DJIA hasn't seen since right before the financial markets were freefalling into the abyss!

As I always stated the Dow is a fucked up means of measuring, judging, estimating economic activity (please, can we have new measurement, and we can't trust the GDP figures either), because the US economy is still in diarrhea-filled toilet -- unemployment has topped 10% (and that's going to be a persistent level of chronic, pervasive unemployment), the financial section STILL isn't lending money to non-financial sector businesses (obviously companies like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase are making their bones), the retail sector is still anemic, and the housing market is just waiting for the next round of foreclosures.

The big Wall Street banks are posting increasing profits, mainly because of the trading the profits that they're making by trading amongst themselves.

Even if the DJIA has recovered to pre-shit storm levels, have the portfolios of John Q. Investors

Employers are still laying workers off, and the thing about that is, companies look "better" to Wall Street when they have less expenses, i.e. payroll and insurance premiums. This is one of the reasons why companies are looking "attractive" in the short-term (the next quarter or two), but that's what has gotten American companies in trouble in the first place. The slavery to Wall Street expectations and being offered up to the blood thirsty god Profit has forced most important and sustaining jobs offshore to China (where the government purposely keeps the currency artifically low, so the goods & services are cheaper than what they would normally be).

The New York Fed has set a new stage for the rich to get richer (just watch for all the bonuses that AIG, Goldman Sachs and the rest of the tax coffer robbers over the next couple of months), and because the Zero Sum Game is the only game in town in the current (and future) economy, be prepared to follow the rules of Machiavelli.

Enemy of Humanity? Please! On of few rays of hope in the Western World

President Barack Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday October 9, 2009... I wonder what that Arizona Congressman, a complete fucknut, who claimed that President Barack Obama is an enemy of humanity or that their needs to be a a military coup to remove the Obama Influence on the country.

These Tea-baggers & 912ers... they're not patriotic at all, they part of the ever-emerging White Identity Movement was lit on fire on Election day 2008.

So mark my words, it's time to watch the FUCK OUT! What ever these people say, they don't like President Barack Obama and his policies -- which aren't liberal or socialist -- simply because he's Black.

What's sad is that some many white people refuse to acknowledge that , so few white people are calling a spade a spade in public. What's is aggravating is when watching any commentary/news channel (i.e. CNN, MSNBC, Fox News), the majority of the commentators and facilitators/anchors is that they don't broach the subject of racism or confront the guests on the lies they're spewing or that their party (or business) wants them to spew.

Elie Wiesel, Holocaust Survivor, Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Messenger of Humanity, spoke about President Barack Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, indicating that what's important about the prize recognition is that America finnally recognized its internal hatred and racial violence by electing a Black man, a member of the former slave class, to the highest, most legitimate office in the land.

Afghani Taliban is not pleased that President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize -- fuck them! What international voice do they have? The International Hate Prize? The International Divisive Champion Medal? And the only other group that is so up-in-arms about Barack Obama being bestowed with this international prize is the WHITE Republican - Confederate - GOP card-carrying Americans. Even that Uncle Tom of Uncle Tom's Michael Steele let horseshit flow from his mouth when he had a chance to comment about the Prize. When is Michael Steele going to rip Rush Limbaugh's hand from out his rectum, and quit being Rush's ass puppet?

The Nobel Committee defended their choice by citing that President Barack Obama changed the climate of international diplomacy and his desire to reduce (perhaps eliminate) nuclear arms. After Dubya Bush and Tricky Dick Cheney's machinations that are akin to Rome's Nero basically force-fed day old dog shit down the throat of the world, anything that Barack Obama does to change the way the international community views the US of A is worth getting some prize.

President Barack Obama has rockstar popularity around the world, outside of America, because the world population doesn't have a history of keeping their foot on the Black man's neck. It was done by Europeans, but its held up continually by Americans. I'm talking about White Identity Movements, who feel embattled perpetually (??!!?) Now this might be true, but one must consider this -- the history of the White Race is to dominate all other races, not to assimilate or even co-exist!!

We, that is educated and semi-educated people, must do is be extra vigilant against ALL White Power Movements that look to establish themselves and hold on to power - as if White People don't have all the power in the world. If they're afraid of losing power they need to handle the Chinese. Ignorant fuckers.

Weak Dollar... Street Rioting Is Next, Right?

Today the dollar lost value against the major international currencies (because Australia raised interest rates) and this prompted the Chinese to once again try to have oil priced in a different currency other than dollars; they’d no doubt prefer the yuan.

The problem with pegging ANY international commodity or means of valuing an object to the Chinese yuan, is that the Chinese government controls the convertibility of the yuan. As the yuan doesn’t “float” against other currencies and get valued by market forces, it is true value is suspect (currently the yuan is vastly undervalued, hence the reason why Chinese goods are so cheap on the international market, and one of the reasons why the Chinese economy is so strong).

The Russians have been trying to get oil priced in a different currency, Euros perhaps, for a long time, because as the Muscovites lost their superpower status, the schemers in the Kremlin wants some ability to be relevant again on the international stage. Not gonna happen for Moscow; that country is losing citizens like you wouldn’t believe (population has declined for the 15 year in a row, even with mothers getting a bonus check for having kids) and the economy is controlled by a few (like the US) who are wildly corrupt and use menacing and repellent violence to get what they want done (unlike the US).

Of course the Saudis have refused to price oil in anything other than dollars, and they summarily declined the Chinese request. This possibly has something to do with the little-publicized knowledge that the US can blow-up the Saudi refineries and petro-infrastructure. Plus there is some bizarre relationship between the Saudis and the US that can't be explained as to why the Saudis back the US's global powerplays when George Bush the Elder was most active on the global stage.

But perhaps in 7 years from now, when the US still hasn't regained any financial strength, the dollar will no longer be the pricing currency for any globally trade commodity (maybe pork bellies and oranges). When that happens, best believe the US economy will stumble into a depression that it'll never recover from. The dollar will weaken so much and the thirst for foreign oil won't have changed that much... and the US economy will have less buying power to get all goods that it wants. That's when the standard of living gets crazy as it nose-dives in way that will be unprecedented. The only precedent we have is the fact that when empires collapse it is UGLY!
