Random Acts of Regression pt. V??

Fam, long time no talk... but you know how life gets. Anywho, you know I couldn't come back without anything controversial so here we go. Diane Black, an elected Tennesee official recently sent out a racist e mail pertaining to our Commander and Cheif, Mr. Obama. The e mail was entitled "Historical keepsake" and consisted of the image pictured above. When asked to explain the following statement was made :

When I asked her if she understood the controversial nature of the photo, Goforth would only say she felt very bad about accidentally sending it to the wrong list. When I gave her a second chance to address the controversial nature of the email, she again repeated that she only felt bad about sending it to the wrong list of people.

Good ish huh? Did I mention she was a member of the Grand OLE Party??? Anyways, just news I thought you should know.

Juicy or Just Messy?

So the new talk of the town is this crazy website called juicycampus.com and for those of you who are unaware, it is like honesty box gone wild! There is no login information required to make comments on this site. A person can just get onto the website and anonymously post a topic or response to the topic. What I think people fail to see is that tools such as these (honesty box, juicycampus) are scapegoats for people to get reckless and say things that they wouldn't usually say! And notice people never have anything POSITIVE to say about one another. What happened to constructive criticism? At least have the audacity to be a big brother or big sister to go and talk to a person and help them correct the error of their ways in a respectful manner. And most importantly, instead of ridiculing people all the time, why don't we (especially for those of us who are older) try leading by example. But this internet bashing and defaming people's names and reputations has gotten completely out of control. And when the subject matters are clearly about black people, how does that make us look to others? Most importantly, how does that make us look to ourselves. And to think, we get so hype and do all this talk about us having a black president but we as a people need to realize that we'll never be able to move forward if we keep going backwards...something to think about!

Random Acts of Regression Entry II

As if his music, clothing, speech, and overall aura wasn't sufficiently annoying, Soulja Boy's ignorance has sank to a new a low. While interviewing with the Toure from the Black Carpet he was asked what historical figures he hated most and he responded with a comment even I wouldn't have expected: Oh wait! Hold up! Shout out to the slave masters! Without them we'd still be in Africa. We wouldn't be here to get this ice and tattoos."
I'm not sure if I should be sad that kids actually look up to him, or infuriated that he has a family behind him that hasn't snatched him by the collar for continuously making them look bad. Irregardless, Soulja Boy is now the new measure of what I don't want my nephews to be.

So thanks for that much Mr. Tell'em
Whatever,
