Knappy Headed Ho's .Vs. the big White Cracker (I don't get all the lingo?)

Can you believe the mess over Don Imus's words? Rappers - like M1- have come out and said that when they call women Ho's it is uplifting for the black community. Boy this is really a mess!

How can a community call their own Ho's and then get offended when the word is used by someone that does not share their pigments? The words used in the rap community, like Ho's Pimp's Nigger and such are - as they claim- uplifting to the black community. How can that be. You mean Snoop Dog, M1 and such are actually uplifting their community?

"Shock a Zulu - these crackers can't stop you!" - that's respectful, social justice and uplifting? How did all this mess come about? Why is there a National Association of Black Journalists, when it is against the law for the National Association of White Journalists to be formed? Wow, is this upside down or what?

Yes, Imus should of been fired NOT for his words, but for making advertisers run in the hundreds? It's a corporate wound that is hard to be recovered from. That is the reason a personality can be fired.

But you know what is IRONIC? The company that fired Imus, for his Ho-isms, it part of the same company that sells records and TV shows that use freely the words Ho's and Niggers. How is that?

Where is the black community lashing out at the culture that allows their young women to be called ho's and bitches by the young men leading the public exposure of their community? It's awful quite on that front. The whole verbiage mess needs to be cleaned up. Not censorship or restriction of speech, mind you, just discouraging the degrading of a part of society by the very part of society to which they belong.

Imus was sacrificed and it was spearheaded by Jessie Jackass and Al Not so Sharpton. Two upstanding defenders and moral authorities....RIGGGGHT!

What do you think? I think this is s mess and race baiting is now a way of life that is profitable for it's defenders and it can only end up with more hate and more violence. Cut us and we all bleed the same. Pigments make NO difference and Pigments is not a criteria for policy or protection.

BTW, wasn't it last year the song of the year was "It's hard out here for a pimp?" Well, now it's hard out here if you are pigment deficient!

Call Me A Smart Ass!

Spring Time has arrived and now more people are out on the road. That's both good and bad.

Recently, I had to make a road trip back home to bury a 15 year old cousin. A family member dying is bad enough, but to bury a young family member is a soul ripping pain I hope few ever have to experience. The drive down home was a rather silent one. Mostly eyes on the road, mind not wandering as much, and just reflecting on life and the meaning of life.

As for me, I really enjoy taking road trips. If I can drive somewhere and have it still meet my schedule demands I would rather drive than fly. There is nothing like the open road. Does not matter to me whether it's an old car, new car, my car or my Harley - I love road trips. For me the road trip is a way for me to gather my thoughts, reflect on recent goings on, get a mega dose of talk radio and to dream up new ideas or inventions.

Anyway, back to the un-fun-funeral road trip. On this particular road trip I found myself observing the way other people drive in great detail. Many times on a road trip you have the fortune (or misfortune) of driving alongside or behind someone on for several hundred miles, and you know what?

Peoples' driving habits area a direct reflection of their personal lives as well.

Take this test and see where you rank?
1. When there is a merge and you are in line and someone wants in do you:
A: Inch by inch refuse to let them in
B: Sometimes I let them in - if they look nice or drive a cool car
C: I Try to use the rule- for every car merging let one car in; to keep traffic moving

2. When coming to a red light, and you see people trying to enter from a side parking lot, do you?
A: Make sure you pull up and BLOCK their ability to enter traffic since it could delay you a second or two?
B: Sometimes I let them in - if they look nice or drive a cool car
C: Since the light is red anyway, I leave room and stop so more people and enter the road and get along their way

3. BACK TO MERGES: When approaching a merge clearly marked "1 Mile Ahead" do you?
A. Move between my lane and the merge land and assume the role of a traffic monitor and make EVERYONE merge behind me!
B. I immediately move over when I see the merge 1 mile ahead sign so I am in the correct lane.
C: I merge AT THE MERGE - which is 1 Mile Ahead.

4. When traveling behind an auto or motorcycle, I...
A. Ride right on their ass to make them move out of MY way
B. I do various kinds of zig zag driving and really just focus on myself
C: I keep a safe distance in case of emergency and if someone is too slow, I'll pass and then once safely clear, I move back over

I really could keep on with these questions and probably do a great test and prove that one's driving habits are a direct reflection on their social and personal habits. But here is what I learned..

If you are the ones that answered A to any of the questions, you're an ass! Dumb Ass to be extact.

Why? Your driving gets people killed. If you are a B then you are a normal smoe, too focused on his or her life to worry about others and you are probably the kind that worries about what you wear, drive or own and how people will view you. If you're a C, I call that a CLEAR. You have a clear head and clear focus and you are probably the kind of person that makes a great friend.

Now as far as the road trip and being behind someone for hundreds of miles. That same person who answers A to the questions above and rides everyone's ass on the highway, is the same person who (if you pull over to get gas when they do) will be a white guy dressed like a gangsta rapper, or a young girl dressed like Paris Hilton trash. They'll be loud when they pay for the gas, they will still be in the cell phone - even when they are holding up the check up line and they most likely will spend an extra 15 minutes at the pump, not pumping gas but , primping in the mirror of their car while keeping other people from getting their gas. A Narcissistic dumbass!

But who am I other than the smart ass who created the "You are how you drive test" anyway!
What do you think? Does driving skill mimic ones being?
