The United States has a new president-elect, and while I am floored - amazed - even blindsided, I am not at all shocked by the stupidity of my people. Yes, I am talkin' about my folks - African Americans - God help us.
I am an educator as well as a writer. Yes, I was in a community event, where I was surrounded by a bunch of black folks who were pleased by the fact that we made history here in the states - Yes! Finally a black president! Yoo Hoo! So, I asked them, "Why did you vote for Obama?"
Stupidity never ceases to amaze me. The number of morons who responded, "Cause he black," overwhelmed me. Some of them were lying, I know, because they can't even vote (damned felons), so to say that bulls$&@ only added to my list of insults - which shot out like bullets - "YOU DAMNED IDIOT! White folks been voting for white folks just because they're white since air! It hasn't worked! What were you thinking? You dumb ass!"
Okay, so then I get the dumb jeans down around my thighs, gold tooth, no Standard English speaking response..."Cause! We needed a black president! We need to turn the White House black!"
Dumb asses...
Look fools - Mr. President Elect, Barack Obama...has more in common with white women than with yo' stupid asses! Remember, he was raised by white women...why would you think he would degrade the Harvard education he has by acting a damned fool?!?! Oh, my God...
Then, there's this (as my momma would call her) "IG'NANT BITCH" on some Hip hop web site who is telling her child to make rude comments about Mr. Obama, and refers to him as "the antichrist". Okay, even if you believe this - which you have a right to - why would you be stupid enough to film yourself saying it and post it all over the internet?
Oh say can you see - my dumb ass on TV???
This is why some black folks still use the "n-word". When we see stupidity, we have to call it like we see it. See, and I tell Joey this all the time, white folks don't have to defend themselves when one white person does some dumb ass s&%$! However, everytime a black person does some dumbass s*&, the rest of us generally end up in a situation where we have to "explain it away" like we're related to the dumb ass who did it.
Let the record show, I am done with this bullshit! I refuse to explain why some "ignant mu'fucka" has decided to say some dumb shit, act like a fool, or film his/herself acting like a damned idiot. Here's the facts...there are dumb mu'fuckas of all shapes, sizes, and colors! Just like the "ignant bitch" that decided to get filmed acting like a Dumbo dumb ass - by the way, you stupid jump-down, yo' black ass is about to get picked up AND investigated by the FBI. Your child will probably be put in protective custody too. That's what your dumb ass deserves!
And PLEASE, before you make a dumb ass comment like, "I voted for Obama cuz he black," PLEASE, I beg you! SHUT THE HELL UP!!!! As my friends and I so readily say, "You stupid!" Not only white people, but even other black people concur!

Disrespectful - "Trick-Ass-Hos" - Enuff Said!
Look, I gladly support everyone's right to believe what they want, to say what they want, etc. However, I do believe that it gets to the point where you need to be quiet. You need to be respectful.
I do not agree with all of Sarah Palin's politics. So what...she's the governor of Alaska, a political official in service to the United States of America. To portray her in a porn flick is going too damn far. This is the reason women can gain positons of power without being called "bitches" or being accused of being masculine. Nasty trick ass hos are out there willing to do anything to make a buck at the expense of other women. I don't care if you're a stripper. Hey, if people are going to be dumb enough to give you money for shakin' your half naked ass in their face, go get it, girl! I don't have a problem with porn. If people are going to give you money to have sex on film, get paid! What I can't stand for is the blatant disrespect of a woman who is a public official.
Sarah Palin:
1 - Is happily married to her husband and treats him as the biblical "head" of her household.
2 - Loves her children and puts them first in her life.
3 - Believes strongly in her religious faith and stands by her beliefs.
4 - Stands up for her state and her country.
Do we have men pretending to be Bush, Cheney, Obama, or McCain in any porm films? If not, then why is it okay to disrespect Governor Palin? Because she's a beautiful woman?
Porn hos need to get a grip and stop being so quick to disrespect other women for a few thousand bucks. That's when you lose the respect of your peers. Even the ones who stand by your right to be "nas" and "T".

Potawatomi Bingo Casino - Racism or Classism????
This is something that has been on my mind for a very long time. Friends told me I should blog about it, so that others would be aware of the discrimination myself and my Joey faced at the hands of a group protected by the politians in the State of Wisconsin. This is my experience.
There was an older white gentleman who I heard referred to as "Jim" (I recognize him by his gray hair and suspenders) who had been insulting and threatening to me and Joseph on more than one occasion. "Jim" had spoken to Joseph many times in the Solstice Room and on one instance he told Joseph, "I can't believe they let 'those people' in here!" Jim was looking at a group of African Americans who were entering the Solstice Room. Jim also remarked, "I can't believe they keep letting those people up here," and "This casino doesn't need any of their money." Although uncomfortable with the comments, Joey did not respond.
The next day, I came to the casino with Joey. When Jim saw us together, he stared at us and mocked Joey under his breath. I decided to go into the lounge area. Jim entered the lounge a few minutes later. I heard him mutter something under his breath, blah blah blah, "the coon." I was shocked, but I ignored him. After eating a snack, I approached a security guard named Paul and reported the incident.
Jim refused to let up. He yelled at the Joseph while they were playing blackjack. "What's wrong with you? Why do you go to the bathroom so much?" Joey didn't respond. Jim began to taunt him, calling him names and mocking him as he spoke. Joey was wearing a superman cap I had brought to him that evening. It was clear that Jim was going to continue to insult Joey and me, as he whispered to an intoxicated gentleman at the table. The man said: "Are you talking about the lady next to the guy in the superman hat?"
Again, I called security and informed Paul, that not only was Joey and I offended by Jim's prior racial slur, which mind you, Paul had done nothing about, but that I also felt intimidated and threatened by Jim's current behavior. I asked that Jim be ejected from the casino, but Paul refused, as the man was spending an excessive amount of money in the casino.
Feeling humiliating and intimidated, I turned to leave the Solstice Room. Joey, feeling the need to protect me, went to security as well.
One evening after playing blackjack for two or three hours, Joey decided to cash in his chips so we could leave. Jim (he's a regular at the casino - of course - once again, yelled at him, "What are you doing?!" and began to make mocking statements because Joey decided not to continue playing. Joey re-entered the game, feeling threatened by Jim and the fact that casino security had refused to do anything about Jim's threatening behavior. When Joey finally decided to leave, Jim yelled at him. Again, Joey went to the pit-boss and and security to complain about Jim's behavior. Our complaints continued to fall on deaf ears.
Out of the blue one afternoon, Joey received a certified letter from the casino. On May 7, 2008, he received a certified letter from the casino banning him from the premises, noting that if he attempted to come on casino property for any reason, he would be arrested for trespassing. I was more than outraged!!! First of all the letter was sent to him by security, who did not bother to sign the letter, but refused to give a reason why Joey was banned.
I called Paul directly, and he told me that if I had a problem with the banning to take it up with the appeals board. There was nothing in the letter about appealing the decision and when I asked Paul why Joseph was being banned in the first place, when all he did report a harassing patron, Paul stated that he "didn't know why and he didn't care," about why Joey was banned. I was not allowed an opportunity to discuss the issue with Paul any further. In fact security and table games appeared to be avoiding my calls, and they never bothered to return any of my calls.
Joey asked his casino host (Sean) why he was removed from the casino, Sean said it was because Joseph had, "threatened to do bodily harm" to a dealer named Robert. This is not only false, it is absolute nonsense! I later found out that one of the staff members of the casino that the table games supervisor is close friends with Jim. Hence the reason Jim had not been asked to stop with his harassment. Can you say, conflict of interest? ..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
So in May of 2008, I sent a letter to Alan - the casino's head of internal investigations in hopes that this matter can be explained and resolved. His response to me was, "It's your word against his. I have found no proof to validate your complaint. First of all, the dealers would be put in an awkward position to vouch for me, as they need their jobs. Especially in this economy! The reality is, because this man is wealthy, the casino could care less about him calling me a "coon" and a "nigger" and they would have rather covered it up instead of dealing with the wealthy patron's antics.
I haven't been back to the casino, and I have no plans to ever go back. Why should I give my money to a place that refused to stand up for my rights as a patron, just because I'm not rich and white? All I can say is, watch your back. This place is protected by our "great governor" and his "democratic buddies" and this Milwaukee casino is not required to play fair - even in respects to discrimination or racism. It's obvious the tribe could care less about my plight - I can't prove my Native American background (although you can look at me and tell its in there).
For those who question this blog, answer me this - why would the casino put its grand "Re-Opening Ceremony" on June 19th if they cared so much about their African American clientel? Hummmm...food for thought. What really upsets me is the fact that many of my white friends have complained that they have also been treated disrespectfully by the members of this organization. I guess just because we have a black president, ethnic businesses believe it's perfectly acceptable to discriminate against white people now, huh???

Why Apologize? You’re a dumb ass!!!
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, at 5:46 p.m. Rick Gale, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin, resigned from his post due to the criticism he received after it was reported that he supposedly said he would refer to President-Elect Barack Obama as a "nigger." This is supposedly, according to union's executive board who "will select a new president from among its members during the next two weeks." The JSOnline quotes the union as saying, "Rick's comment was offensive, inappropriate and racially insensitive, and does not reflect the views of our union." According to the union, in Gale's resignation letter he apologized for using the racial slur, and states, "The word has no business in my vocabulary and I should not have used it - not even in private," Gale said.
ARE YOU SERIOUS????
What the hell is wrong with you people!?!? I am convinced the people we have running this damn state are all completely and totally retarded (yes - I said it!) and no, I am not sorry I said it! If you took that single moment to say the bullshit that you said, then you meant every word of it! I would have more respect for Gale if he resigned and put in his letter - "Yeah, I called him a nigger! That's what I feel he is! Kiss my ass and bark at the hole!" How do you say something stupid, then turn around and say, "Oh I'm so sorry. I shouldn't of said that EVEN in private..." What the?????
Look, Obama could care less about some ass backwards brained individual calling him a NIGGER. Please! Give Obama a minute to respond and you might be taken aback (shocked ass hell - more like it) when he responds, "But this NIGGA' is the most powerful man in the world as of January 2009, Bitch! How you like me NOW!"
Liberal extremests really piss me off with this bullshit ass game they are playing with people's lives - like we're not smart enough to really get the point. "Oh, I can't let these poor people think I agree with this racist behavior. That man, he must be forced to resign so we can keep on pretending we like everyone and care about everyone in the whole entire world!!!.........Except for the "coloreds" (ask Lindsey Lohan's doofless ass) who make enough money to move next door to me...Nah, I'm not really liking them right now."
Here's the deal, I like a jackass like Gale. I like his honesty. He lets me know where he stands so I can keep an eye on my back and a hand on my pistol, just in case - as my mammy used to say - "a mu'fucka tries to start somethin'!" The foney ones are the ones that we should fear. This man was a part of a unionized system that could have easily FORCED him to help the democratic cause - and DO NOT pretend this doesn't happen! You know it does! And, if you have a different opinion from the union, you get shafted. You can't tell me this ISN'T what happened to Gale. It's all too obvious.
Give the fat bastard his job back! I'm sure the rest of us could really really make his life more uncomfortable than he will be now that he's able to run away from the issue.

MINERVA
With the publication of my first novel, I feel a bit disgruntled and distressed. I did not have the opportunity to market its arrival to the best of my ability, and therefore it hasn't received the press it so deserves. I am proud of the book. My mother told me to publish it myself, right before she passed away in September 2007. She believed in the book, as do I, and I know when I have the opportunity to discuss and interact with readers it will get more attention and notarity. Readers should find that it is remarkable significant, due to the historical election of a biracial president-elect and the state of California's Proposition 8.
