On the Internet, Slangin' Shit Like Dope...

I'm Rolling, They're Hating...
Rather than disturb everyone in a ten-foot radius of me with an annoying ringtone of some simplistic contemporary Hip-Hop tune, I choose to keep my phone on vibrate. My phone goes off. I reach and pull it out of my change pocket of my Polo jeans. “Hello?” It was the homie Chuck Dukie; excuse me, I have to take this call. From the cheap seats, where the rancor usually originates, comes “Check out Mr. Fancy Pants with the new iPhone.” Yeah. Check me out. Take notes as the pimp quotes and maybe you’ll perform better tomorrow without the use of Viagra. Incredible how a device as innocuous as an iPhone can cause calamity in the household and race wars amongst similar-looking people. I had a Blackjack, but that shit was horrible. You never think that when you’re paying a few hundred for a phone that it is going to perform worse than the Motorola RAZR that you just upgraded from. These new fandangled phones all have one shortcoming in common; their respective operating systems are the worst. The mobile Windows OS that the Blackjack is ran from is the absolute worst phone operating system I have ever encountered as it somehow how made every single function of the phone horribly difficult to operate. Even to take a picture or text was a chore. It shouldn’t be as arduous as it is to merely play an mp3 on the Blackjack, but it was. The battery life was horrible; the best thing about the phone was that it came with two batteries. Even the blazing speed of the 3G network meant absolutely nothing as the Blackjack can’t compute fast enough to take advantage of this feature. Fuck the Blackjack, time to upgrade... The hate has been pouring in since I first slid my thumb over that sleek touch screen like I slide my thumb over a pretty young lady's labia. When introducing my buddy Harrison to this cute Indie-Rock girl, I got a text and had to check it, naturally, I pull the iPhone from the pocket to perform this action. “Oh, why don’t you pull out your iPhone again?,” I hear faintly via my left ear in a New Hampshirean accent. So, yeah, I pull it out again. Last weekend in
I have promulgated the arrival of the technocracy and have discovered that there is no way I will be able to use a regular cell phone again. The iPhone, while being the best phone ever, does have its faults. The ringtone situation, for those middle school girls that are into them, is dismal to say the least. Apple is trying to fuck over the people once again by having them pay for ringtones from iTunes all because they won’t allow one to make a song that you, yourself, put on the iPhone, the ringtone. Even on the wack-ass Blackjack I could make “
Go OJ! Go!
"Men die for freedom, but black men die for white women, who are the symbol of freedom. That was the white man's will, and as long as he has the power to enforce his will upon me, force me to submit to his will in this instance or in any other, I will not be free. I will not be free until the day I can have a white women in my bed and a white man minds his own business. Until that day comes, my entire existence is tainted, poisoned, and I will still be a slave-and so will the white woman."...the voice of the accused
"The Allegory of the Black Eunuchs"
Soul on Ice
Eldridge Cleaver, 1968
White people and their liberal use of "the N word" have proven to be their downfall. I heard this morning on WTOP a headline that stated that “justice will finally be served.” I thought they were about to say that Black Americans were finally about to get their 40 acres and a mule with a side of reparations, but instead they tell me that the “justice” concerns OJ Simpson and his zany antics as of late. Interestingly, Orenthal has become a figurehead for Black America. Whites see OJ as the ultimate criminal; a Black man that slaughtered in cold blood a beautiful white maiden as pure as the driven snow she plowed into her nose, who then got away with the crime. With the blood that OJ supposedly spilled, came the exoneration of all past atrocities that the white race has committed against Black Americans. A reverse-Jesus if you will. OJ killed both his wife and Ron Pearlman simultaneously with his bare hands and no assistance according to the average white American. OJ was deemed guilty before he got out of that white-ass Bronco. Finally all of this Negro wailing about slavery, lynching, institutional racism, Jim Crow and unequal opportunity would come to a swift, airbag-unleashing halt because one blond woman had been killed.
All this illustrates is that racism is oh, so prevalent in our society, even today. The racist foundations that penetrated almost every facet of American life, kept our contemporary legal system and the American citizens, regardless of race, from objectively looking at the crime and assessing the situation accurately. If they wanted OJ’s head, they should have charged him appropriately. In their mission to systematically and physically destroy OJ, white
Quite unexpected was Black people and their blind faith in OJ’s innocence. OJ never seemed to give a fuck about being Black. He had long denounced the plight of the underprivileged Black American, opting rather to entertain white Americans on and off the football field. OJ was one of those fun-loving, non-threatening Negroes that stood as a paradigm for successful assimilation. He’d hop over anything for Hertz. He chose to endorse Pioneer Chicken and even owned a couple of extensions of the franchise. He allowed his caricature to be the face of Dingo Boots; he became a Black cowboy rounding up America with his smooth voice and school boy charm. OJ’s last communication with Black America was when his case became a mockery of justice and was transformed into a racially-influenced fiasco. A lot of Black people really thought that OJ represented them and that his conviction would be a blow against civil rights in
Since I prefer to remember people at their personal best, like the Thriller-era Michael Jackson, let's go back to a time when they loved the Juice...
