(Words) I see we STILL can't get outta our own way X The Gabby Douglas/Zoe Smith criticism
That truly is the running joke among 'other races' about us Black People (or those of us who sympathize with our plight and like to indulge FULL BORE INTO OUR LIFESTYLES AND BELIEFS).
"Look at them coloreds...One of them is up there upsetting one of 'ours', getting GOLD and the ONLY THING THESE COONS CAN THINK ABOUT IS THE FACT THAT HER HAIR ISN'T LAID DOWN LIKE OURS IS..Yeah...for every one of them that is successful, there are three to four THOUSAND OF THEM bringing her down. We couldn't have drawn up this play any better if we tried man. This shit is brilliant! This is great! We've conditioned them so well. We don't even have to do shit. We can just sit back and watch them nitpick each other to death. Sure there are a small pockets of them that talk unity but that's it. They can't stand to see themselves succeed! This is truly more than we could hope for... The kicker? these coons RUN AROUND SCREAMING ABOUT 'LOYALTY' LIKE IT IS THE VOCABULARY WORD THEY LEARNED IN SCHOOL AND HAVE TURNED AROUND AND DONE THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF THAT WHEN IT COMES TO TWO OF THEIR CHAMPIONS. Ha! This shit is great! Them there niggers wouldn't know the meaning of the word loyalty if Jesus Christ himself reincarnated all of them into their favorite dogs and gave them the best 'masters' money could buy I tell ya.... "- The WORDS OF THE very White people that some of you swear you hate but are emulating by being SO CRITICAL ABOUT GABBY'S HAIR OR ZOE'S PHYSIQUE.
This is what you have armed them with though with your CONSTANT INSTANCE on 'Keeping it funky'. You've managed, once again, to take the spotlight off of a crowning achievement by a person of color and made it about the collective 'you'. The 'you' that doesn't have a pot to piss in nor window to throw it out of. Congratulations...now she has to RESPOND to you 'cause the 'media' (Read: THE WHITE PEOPLE) are out to make us look foolish as a RACE AGAIN and we've armed them with information. You fucking idiots. You happy now?
The bashing of Olympic weightlifter Zoe Smith, SIXTEEN YEAR OLD GABBY DOUGLAS and countless others & THE INSECURE FOLKS WHO DO IT..
We have to do better people. @ the comments. Now in fairness, there are a VAST MAJORITY OF YOU WHO HAVE CONDEMNED THESE COMMENTS and you should be applauded. I am not talking to you. I'm talking to the folks who 'feel they have the right to be an ass via their speech' and want to get 'offended' when someone exercises their right to say 'That's bullshit.." I'm talking to you folks.
I find it hilarisad* that so may folks feel that the need to 'disparage' and 'nitpick apart a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL who is COMPETING FOR A MEDAL. She isn't in a beauty contest. She is there to be judged on her gymnastics. I almost have to ask you..
WHO HURT YOU?? @ this constant need to ridicule, pick on, pile on, find the 'error', find the flaw, etc, etc behavior that some of you have made your M.O.
Did your Mother not pay enough attention to you? Give you enough hugs? Did the little children growing up hurt your little feelings about talk about what you had or didn't have?
Sack up man (or ovary up if you are a woman) and stop living in the past. You are adult. There's no need to 'pass the tradition' down to youth 'cause you had a sorry ass childhood/adulthood.
Yes I said adulthood 'cause some of you are out here trying to live it like it is your 'childhood' and FAILING MISERABLE AT THAT.
Maybe that is what it is..The little girl with the 'edges that you don't like' just inked a deal worth more than your ENTIRE FAMILY IS WORTH. Jealous much? I can't tell.. @ all the venom you are spewing..While you are out there scuffing up your fake red bottoms, walking barefoot in clubs and paying triple the price for drinks, the sixteen year old moved away from her family and fulfilled her dream. Gotta make you feel bad inside. That shit must BURN. (Chuckles) I know.. That was mean. So... you feel like you can be 'mean to her' and it is okay so lets it is all fair game right? Oh...
Lets not even talk about those of you whose only athletic achievement involves scuffing your knees and backshots aight? @ judging a World Class athlete on her 'looks' WHILE SHE IS EXECUTING SAID WORLD CLASS ATHLETICISM. Lets not do that shall we? Or you folks who JUST NOW DECIDED THAT EXERCISING IS THE MOVE some 20-30 years into your Life. I've seen some of you at the gym. Yikes. That's just off the treadmill...never mind what you look like after Zumba or whatever else it is you are doing. Stop it. Criticizing folks who aren't 'there to be seen as beautiful' who are in better shape than you? Yeah aight Champ.
As for the weight lifting gals or ANY OF THE OTHER GALS competing who might not be your 'cup of tea'. That's not what they are there for. Do you savages equate EVERYTHING TO YOUR LOINS? Folks aren't walking around out here, competing for Gold medals for the 'Do You Wanna Fuck Me' Olympics.. They aren't there for that. So what you wouldn't touch her with your enemies penis? Who cares? Shit, she probably doesn't want your weak as water ass either 'cause she can see your little ego is weak from a mile away.
"Other folks feel that way so it must be true.." - You
Yeah and other folks still believe in Slavery. Want to bring that back too? There is a large group of folks who want ALL FOLKS WHO AREN'T a certain color dead and gone. They out number 'us'. By definition, it is okay for them to feel and act that way if we use your dumb ass logic..-_- Shrug your shoulders and say so now but I don't wanna hear 'shit outta you' when someone takes your way of thinking and uses it to harm you.
The kicker to all of this? Some of you same handkerchief head niggas will be up in arms about something 'the white man/woman' said about some hair/preferences/etc THAT ARE TRUE because it involves 'us'. smh Let someone up in that broadcast booth have said that shit and you would be ready to riot like you are about that 'chicken'. Yet you don't see ANYTHING WRONG WITH SAYING WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT GABBY OR THE WEIGHT LIFTER BECAUSE YOU WERE 'KEEPING IT FUNKY'.
We don't need to bring each other down people. It is just that simple. There was no reason for y'all to go that hard on her. This is why I don't feel sorry when folks of 'other races' go hard on you for the REAL LIFE BULLSHIT YOU DO. You keep getting your 'hair done' correctly while living Life fucked up though. We'll see who becomes 'what'...:)
Here is Gabby's response to the comments she has received..
http://thegrio.com/2012/08/06/gabby-douglas-responds-to-hair-comments-i-just-made-history-and-people-are-focused-on-my-hair/
LONDON (AP) — Women’s gymnastics all-around champion Gabby Douglas likes her hairstyle just fine, thanks.
The 16-year-old said Sunday she was a little confused when she logged onto her computer after winning her second gold medal in three days and discovered people were debating her pulled-back look.
“I don’t know where this is coming from. What’s wrong with my hair?” said Douglas, the first U.S. gymnast to win gold in team and all-around competition. “I’m like, ‘I just made history and people are focused on my hair?’ It can be bald or short, it doesn’t matter about (my) hair.”
Douglas uses gel, clips and a ponytail holder to keep things in place while she competes, a style she’s worn for years.
“Nothing is going to change,” she said. “I’m going to wear my hair like this during beam and bar finals. You might as well just stop talking about it.”
The bubbly teenager is the first African-American gymnast to win her sport’s biggest prize. She had no idea she was lighting up social media until she Googled herself hours after winning her gold medal.
“I don’t think people should be worried about that,” she said. “We’re all champions and we’re all winners. I just say that it’s kind of, a stupid and crazy thought to think about my hair.”

Zoe doesn't 'need' me to speak for her btw. Pretty sure she could bend arms on her own but more importantly, she seems to have addressed the issue HERSELF...
Olympic weightlifter Zoe Smith speaks for us all when she tells sexist trolls we don’t care if you don’t find us attractive
Olympic weightlifter Zoe Smith speaks for us all when she tells sexist trolls we don’t care if you don’t find us attractive
She can lift twice her body weight. She really doesn't give a fuck. (Photo via the BBC.)
As Hannah pointed out earlier, we don’t lift weights in order to look hot, especially for the likes of men like that. What makes them think that we even WANT them to find us attractive? If you do, thanks very much, we’re flattered. But if you don’t, why do you really need to voice this opinion in the first place, and what makes you think we actually give a toss that you, personally, do not find us attractive? What do you want us to do? Shall we stop weightlifting, amend our diet in order to completely get rid of our ‘manly’ muscles, and become housewives in the sheer hope that one day you will look more favourably upon us and we might actually have a shot with you?! Cause you are clearly the kindest, most attractive type of man to grace the earth with your presence.Oh but wait, you aren’t. This may be shocking to you, but we actually would rather be attractive to people who aren’t closed-minded and ignorant. Crazy, eh?! We, as any women with an ounce of self-confidence would, prefer our men to be confident enough in themselves to not feel emasculated by the fact that we aren’t weak and feeble.
Yes. It will never cease to amaze me that some men truly think that every woman in the public eye–whether it be politicians or Olympic athletes–should exist solely to be attractive to them. But what’s even more astounding is the fact that they really seem to believe that women actuallycare if random trolls on the internet want to bone them. As we well know around these parts, while the internet can be an ugly place for both women and men, women often face very gendered abuse. And the “I wouldn’t fuck you” insult is perhaps the most obvious example. It’s basically impossible to imagine a dude receiving the same type of comment.
Smith went on to break the British clean and jerk record in the women’s 58kg event by lifting twice her body weight. She hopes that if her words didn’t silence her critics, maybe her performance will. “It’s two fingers up to them, basically,” she said. “‘What are you doing with your life? I’ve just competed at the Olympics!’” Word.
*Not a word. Combination of hilarious and sad and I don't mean I find it 'funny in a humorous way either'. It is laughable. Your opinion is a joke. I usually try to refrain from such idioms but in this case it is warranted to in my opinion. I'm laughing at you. Not with you.

Wait, I can't let it go at that.
WHAT. IN. THE. FUCK? Really? Naw....not like this....
Surprise Surprise: Tashay WSHH Fight Video: Teen Arrested After Brutal Beatdown Over Twitter Beef - International Business Times
Tashay WSHH Fight Video: Teen Arrested After Brutal Beatdown Over Twitter Beef - International Business Times
I didn't put the video up 'cause well...yeah... If you haven't seen the video, click the link up top. It is there.
Now normally this is the part where I get into the 'do better' thing AND I WILL but not just yet. You know, all day long, we 'speculated' about the happenings surrounding this event (well at least ya'll did.) I wanted to know if they had history. Turns out, they did. There was violation of a temporary protection order, meaning, in English, even if the beef started on Twitter (which we still don't know), they had an issue prior to that. Funny thing though, the girl whose Twitter they cite in the article is kinda half heartedly entertaining the whole deal. Every 4th tweet is, 'But it wasn't me...". I've seen this movie before, if you know what I mean. @ folks taking over accounts/saying folks saying they were hacked. So we STILL don't have much confirmation from HER per say. So I don't want to speak TOO much on it (Go to her account right now. As I am typing this, she is still tweeting about it...)
Okay so NOW comes the 'do better' part.....
Just last week it was 'Justice For Trayvon' that 'we' wanted from the police and the system. I must have seen thousands of tweets/Facebook messages/etc talking about we are 'non violent' folks by nature. Today just null and voided that talk from a good 95% of you. Time and place to do that? Sure is. From the info we have on the situation, neither was appropriate.
Ya'll were all for the 'dressed to damage' uniform tweet today @ the scarf/etc/etc. Again, no less than last week (to the credit of some of you as late as yesterday) it was 'Your clothes don't mean anyone should think you are violent...' Today though it was "she should have known homegirl was there to do work'. Which one is it ya'll? @ the clothing issue. Everyone dressed like she was doesn't fight. Or do they? Contradiction? I'll let you cop the pleas to dispel that but it's looking that way......Zimmerman is still guilty. All day. Every day. So we are clear. I am talking about YOU AND THE BLANKET THAT YOU TRIED TO THROW OVER every suspicious act as being not such because Trayvon died. We know that isn't true. Some shit DOES mean certain shit. Can't pick and choose. @ when we want to fly the 'Black people CAN AND WILL FUCK YOU UP' card and when we want to cry foul. That's all I'm saying. Sometimes, we are going to be right (Trayvon) and sometimes we are going to be WRONG as hell...That's how the World works..
They don't dress folks up like this in commercials for nothing...
If you are going to go beat up someone, leave the cameras at home. Stop being in such a rush to be a 'star' on ANY VIDEO SITE for this stupid shit. So what, you are the 'neighborhood' fade champ. That belt doesn't pay any money and you are more than likely are gonna pass on taking up MMA to MAKE MONEY fighting against folks who can..well....actually fucking fight so.. In addition, you are indicting YOURSELF with evidence of the crime trying to keep it trill. -_-
Ya'll are out here complaining about 'snitching' yet you are documenting your activities on camera and next week you will be complaining about 'them crackas' who are 'keeping you down'. No nigga, that would BE YOU keeping YOURSELF now. Making bad decisions. We won't even 'discuss' what they were 'fighting about'. That shit was middle school shit. Keep fighting for the imaginary 'champ' of your area belt though..
Gotta make better decisions folks. Getting folks attention is GREAT but when will some of you learn that this is not the way to get it done? Another gal with a record (already had one apparently) washing away in the system. Damm shame. Oh well...she doesn't give a damm then I don't give a fuck...I guess.. (Youngbloodz paraphrased) Not sure why ya'll want these 'white folks' out here to care though if you don't give a fuck about yourselves. This is why I don't make that 'argument' for the lot of you. I could EASILY point to the things they don't 'care about' and steer some of that YOUR WAY but you don't care ENOUGH ABOUT YOURSELF. I'll be dammed if I look like a fool out here trying to steer attention towards things that you are gonna SCREW UP ON YOUR OWN anyway. Nope. Sorry.
Am I mad at folks for joking about this all day? Yes and no. Mad is probably the wrong word. I don't know how 'right' it was because I know that some amongst you would THRIVE in getting that attention she got today. Hell, BOTH OF THEM GOT. That's how sad shit is out here. Maybe the word I am is 'sad'. Not mad. I just think it is a shame that some folks out here find THAT MUCH HUMOR in bullshit. Like it really made SOME OF YA'LLS DAY OUTCHEA. The misery of her getting her ass kicked (Make no mistake..she got her ass molly whopped) just seemed to bring out the kind of 'evil' in some of you that makes me wish you NEVER PROSPER. Ever. I can also see why you aren't if you are truly carrying around that visceral vibe some of you had going on today. It is okay though. I know that for most of you, that video was the embodiment of the personal Hell you live through daily that you mask via the "LOLs" and the jokes about other people. So I know all is balanced out.....So in that sense, I'm not 'mad'. Do your thing...*
*In the spirit of Lebron James...@ how I said that. So you don't have to 'speculate'.
All the people that was rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day, they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that. They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal. But they have to get back to the real world at some point.”
Broken down even more eloquently..
"If the best you can do is get your nuts off on my failure, that is TRULY SOME SAD SHIT AND FOR THAT, I actually feel bad for you. I mean if you are about THAT life then in turn your life must be REALLY REALLY small and you clearly don't have SHIT ELSE GOING ON IT. So after the jokes and shit subside, you’ll STILL have to return to said small life. I can live with what I've done and who I am....Or in this case, what was done to me (her)...
Yeah...I told you..Your favorite ASSHOLE doesn't have shit on me. I can be just as mean as nasty as they come fam...
I didn't put the video up 'cause well...yeah... If you haven't seen the video, click the link up top. It is there.

http://instagr.am/p/JGsMnapTER/ elitism
Let me help you if you don't understand what I mean by 'our' first. So that there is no speculation. I'm talking about people of color. Yeah, that need DOES affect others but they aren't the ones coming from a point of view being 'stepped on', down trodden and just out and out disrespected. Why the hell does that matter? Glad you asked Sherlock! It is important because you would THINK that coming from such a place, we wouldn't fall into the habit of doing it to EACH OTHER under most circumstances. Yet, time and time again, we slip RIGHT INTO THOSE SAME HABITS. As I like to say....'Whitey taught you well...'
I mean we have cats out here claiming 'Team this' and 'Team that' over MATERIAL THINGS. It isn't just 'jokes' either. I don't want to hear that. Folks are out here basing their PERSONALITIES and their 'swag' on these things so don't hand me that 'I'm just joking nigga' shit. Nope. Ya'll are out here getting personal with it. Talking about if 'You don't have this'..you ain't shit. Meanwhile, you don't have LIFE'S BASICS down.
The kicker? SOME* OF YOU ARE BEING ELITIST ABOUT SHIT THAT YOU HAVE NO REAL KNOWLEDGE OF! Going by what your geeky 'white boy' who is SCARED TO DEATH OF YOUR ASS tells you and taking it as the gospel. Or my favorite, just being sheep and going with what you see said White People do. (But then want to get mad when they buy hip hop and say that those SAME RECORDS SALES FROM THE WHITE PEOPLE YOU ARE TRYING TO EMULATE all of the sudden don't matter! Interesting..) I probably know more about YOUR PHONE THAN YOU DO. Same with your car. Same with that 'fancy eatery' that you have claimed as 'your spot' that you don't want 'anybody else to eat at...'**
Back to the phone thing though, 'cause it is the latest 'issue'. The picture up top is from MY INSTAGRAM. (Follow or don't follow..IDGAF.. Do you..). I have a ANDROID THUNDERBOLT and no I don't hate Apple. The joints we used to have in school as a child? I had EVERYONE AS MY DAD FIXED COMPUTERS ON THE SIDE. (I'm also proficient in old archaic languages like Colbalt and Pascal..lmao) Point being is, I don't have an 'issue' with Apple. My issue is with you elitist ass cats with your misinformation and the fact you actually had the AUDACITY TO GET MAD ABOUT FOLKS GETTING INSTAGRAM. Shit is laughable B. Here's some of the bullshit I have heard some of you spew out for the last week. (I wish I would have actually favorited the tweets. I just wasn't that worried about 'em at the time but I remember 'em..)
You can see who said this here....https://twitter.com/#!/carolinaware/status/187648184561057793
Iphones have a better camera...
These 'Droid users and their shitty cameras pictures are messing up Instagram....
These 'Droid users are UPLOADING PICTURES LEFT AND RIGHT. Got my stream going HAM. Don't upload so many pictures.
Dear Droid users, don't upload pictures of yourself or I will unfollow you. @ too many self pictures...
#iPhone only @ those pictures that are edited JUST LIKE THE ONE I PUT TOP...
Instagram has become rachet since Android users joined...
(Chuckles) I have more but I SPOKE directly to those folks on the TL and saw they were just joking/we kinda talked that out. These though? Oh these niggas are SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. Every other tweet was about it. I can say I didn't call it though:
http://thewarehous.blogspot.com/2012/03/instagram-for-android-shown-off-at-sxsw.html
As far the camera claim and the pictures:
I think we all knew that the launch wasn't going to be 'smooth'. The last two updates have shown it wasn't 'user error' (even I had said that jokingly...Knowing it wasn't.. I personally disproved that...) It was a system error within the app. Android users weren't even allowed to upload some pictures because they were 'too small'. They fixed that though and with that also fixed 95% of the blurry pictures. Even though I personally went around that issue by using PicsArt to upload pics or KD Collage as I explained in THIS POST..
http://thewarehous.blogspot.com/2012/04/appsandroidiphonesmartphone-so-you-got.html
If you go to MY INSTAGRAM, the only blurry pictures are the ones I MADE BLURRY MYSELF as I didn't want you nosy motherfuckers to see certain shit. That's it. lol
Better camera? Stop that shit.. First of all, everyone isn't posting pictures they took with their cameras on their phones. Second of all....
http://www.pcworld.com/article/241955-2/smartphone_camera_battle_iphone_4s_vs_the_android_elite.html
Better screen? Yes. Better pictures? Nope. I mean we can get down to the brass tax of things if we are going spec for spec. Non removable batteries. No ability to add storage. No native Flash playing.. I won't bring up the other issues that Apple JUST NOW GOT TOGETHER just like Android has done. In other words, both phones have 'issues'/faults if you will. It is a matter of preference. You have to know the FACTS though. Stop going on 'speculation' and what your favorite 'rapper' is telling you is the better phone.. lol For real.
As far as the 'amount' of pictures:
Again, ya'll kill me. First you won't follow folks who 'don't have a lot of pictures' because you want to see what they are 'going to post' then it is 'You post too much.'.. I have one thing to say to that...
"The touch..the feel....the fabric of the hate...." - Set to the tune of the following video...

Make up your minds outchea folks. I know you had the app for two years now but you are quite hoemotional about this here shit. It is a app. Deal with it.
Outchea with the oppressive tactics that have been used against you.. Get up off that horse.
I already dispelled that 'iPhone' only quality bullshit. I can do it again though...@ the tricked out pictures.. Here you go...
UPDATE: I left out one....
Ratchedness...
THERE IS A WHOLE OTHER SIDE OF INSTAGRAM SOME OF YOU DON'T FOLLOW. I knew about it BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO LOG ON TO IT FROM MY DROID. All you have to do is type in Ware's Faves..I'd say 30% of the RECENT PICTURES came from gals who have Instagram (Yaris, Maliah, Sultry Simone, etc). THEY ALL POST THEIR PICS ON INSTAGRAM. Always have. They are iPhone users... All of them. Most video 'models', vixens, urban models or whatever you want to call them do. We didn't make this shit rachet. It already was.
*Can you read? I said some......Not all....some. Every person of color who owns an iPhone isn't like that. The VAST MAJORITY OF YOU ARE THOUGH...
** Like they can stay in business waiting on YOU to frequent their establishment...lmao As if. Trust me, they like your business but they weren't AIMING FOR YOU. You are icing on the cake baby! Believe that. When your fleeting tastes move on to the 'next big thing', they will be just fine.

Read the list. Some of you are gonna be proud. -_-. Don't complain though when the government steps in and starts bringing OAKLAND (Florida) LIKE tactics to your hood ON A MUCH LARGER SCALE though. "Cause they don't know ANY OTHER WAY than to do it like that. @ the other solutions you may offer. They only know one way. Profile, stop and shoot. Which is a shame because CLEARLY everyone isn't a killer. Ya'll remind of that EVERY DAY at every chance you get. So that means someone is going to suffer. Even more than they already are... Some of these places are gonna surprise some of you 'big city' folks though. I know you think that these things only happen in your big bad cities. Nope. Shit is everywhere B. It needs to stop though.

(Grown Folks Talk/guest blogger) Now a word from @MichelleRoaya that we could all stand to hear.
I find myself lately asking if the statement
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" even means anything to the human race anymore.
Innocent young men and women being killed, raped, assaulted, beaten,
Until recently I was truly numb to killing and injustices because it has become the "American way". The cases of Trayvon and Shaima made me stop and throw my hands up and ask God, "Where have we gone wrong?"
I sat quietly and was reminded that being kind to everything and considerate to others is essential to our progression .
We need to be happy when others have success and learn to sympathize when others suffer. We are suppose to provide the basic essential needs for the daily living of a person yet we see poverty on our front doorstep.
"Where have we gone wrong"
We are to speak life, motivate, encourage and laugh with each other. Not boast and brag of your own accomplishments, and praise yourself.
It may seem like evil is winning but I was reminded stay the course and continue to love in the face of evil.
Remember to give as your cup is filled, God can't fill a cup already filled. You get back what you give out. If you're blessed, bless others.believe in something bigger than yourself, love others, smile and don't allow yourself to be changed by the dramas of the world.
God is love- the only thing that keeps me pushing on

Keep video taping ya'lls 'guts and glory' out here though....With no masks on... broad daylight..with YOUR BOYS FILMING IT AND PUTTING IT UP ON WSHH...(or it eventually ending up there however it does..)

(Video) This is NOT A GLORIFICATION OF WHAT TOO SHORT IS TALKING ABOUT..
I'm a fan of his music. Won't even SIT HERE AND ACT LIKE I AM NOT. Not a super fan but a fan nonetheless. I can't clap to this shit here though. Nope. I guess he isn't asking me to either though huh? He is ASKING OUR YOUTH TO DO SO. Interesting. Later on though, he will be telling them tales of not letting pussy ruin their lives though after BASICALLY TURNING THEM ONTO IT before they can handle the responsibility of what might happen when they shoot something outta their dick up in someone. Hadn't thought of it like that had you? I know... He won't acknowledge it either. I'm not writing this to 'change' his mind though. That nigga's grown. Fuck I'mma say to change his mind?
There is NO DENYING that things happen during these ages. Even things he is SPEAKING ON. Not sure how I feel about an ADULT giving out tutorials on a hip hop site though TO CHILDREN. He wasn't speaking to adults. He was speaking to CHILDREN. Surprised nobody thought about this a LITTLE MORE BEFORE IT WAS DECIDED TO GIVE HIM THIS PLATFORM.
Master taught you well Todd Shaw. Master taught well. @ the Jedi Mind tricks. Understand that I am not JUST NOW REALIZING THIS THOUGH. Oppressive tactics used against your own people. I'm not surprised though for as much as I ENJOY his music, I know to keep that BULLSHIT in its place. On the record. Unfortunately, I know some of you CANNOT DO THAT. Which is why I am fearful about the message being spread like this shit here is 'okay'..It isn't...
(Words) On: Viewing folks as 'available' on a Social Network/The bf/gf 'bragger'. How the two begat each other...
 |
| This is how I honestly see some of you looking at your followers. Like this shit is Getadickpussy.com or some shit. |
I see (and hear) from MANY MANY PEOPLE on the subject of folks either 'Tweeting/socially networking' like they are available. Many a rant. Many a tweet. Even seen a blog post or two on the subject.
"He/She is on here tweeting like they are single..." - is the most common form of the tweet usually coming from folks who have 'found out their little Twitter/Facebook crush has someone or is married.
Ditto on the subject of folks 'Talking about their significant others' too much on a social network.
"Why does she (mostly but sometimes he) have to tweet about HIM ALL THE TIME? " - The dudes that want to fuck her basically....
I am going to attempt to 'briefly' talk about each of them as it seems you folks out here can't make up your mind/are a lil clueless or are just straight up idiots.
Being social = being available???
This is what some of you seem to be saying out here. First of all, HOW THE FUCK DOES ONE GET ON A SOCIAL NETWORK AND 'ACT SINGLE'? I mean unless we are on Match.com or some bullshit, I didn't know that ANNOUNCING TO THE WORLD THAT YOU HAVE A MATE in EVERY OTHER TWEET was mandatory out here. I didn't know that folks had to be out 'announcing' shit on THE REGULAR for a certain sect of folks who seem to think that every social setting is an opportunity to 'holler'. What kinda BULLSHIT IS THIS? I'm supposed to know you like me/are catching feelings OVER A GOOD MORNING/interaction OUT THIS BITCH? Get the fuck outta here WITH YOUR EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE ASS. If you are that easy to...Yet you are the SAME FOLKS OUT HERE SAYING 'Niggas are out here REALLY FALLING IN LOVE ON THE INTERNET THOUGH?" Yeah....Okay. Pot it is good to see you are staying 'Black' as usual...- Kettle.
I mean YOU DO REALIZE THAT THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING ON THE INTERNET IS TO INTERACT WITH FOLKS RIGHT? As in, you actually have to engage in conversation? Now I am not saying cats aren't out here flirting and shit but COTDAMM. Have some perspective about this shit and realize that sometimes, your 'Spidey senses' are off and it is YOUR FAULT. Not the other person.
Now I know that some of you think that when a person SMILES at your awkward looking ass, they are trying to holler but that is VERY HARD TO GAUGE over the Internet. People pass compliments EVERY DAY ON THIS JOINT and I would expect that you take them with 'a grain of salt'. I see that I am wrong though 'cause I have COUNTLESS NUMBER of tweets in my TL every day about someone 'tweeting like they are single'. Do better folks.
"I assumed they were single because they said nice things to me and never talked about their significant other in a good OR BAD WAY. So I just assumed they didn't have one..." - Some of you gumps out here
WRONG!!!!!- Charlie Murphy. Maybe the reason why they don't talk about their 'relationship' is because they don't WANT ANYONE IN THEIR BUSINESS. Maybe...just maybe...they have learned that the more you talk about it, the more folks fuck with it and that people can't talk about what they don't know about. You know...they don't want to give folks ammo. Have you paid attention to just how folks are out here once they find out you are in a relationship? They feel like they can (hell I comment on folks shit all the time in the 'spotlight") comment/dissect/rip apart/try to come between/embarrass folks over every single aspect of it. Why WOULD anyone want to subject themselves to such petty shit? I know I don't. Fuck that.
Or ..or...or maybe..JUST MAYBE NOW...they have figured out that the ONLY TWO PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO WORRY AND DEAL WITH THE RELATIONSHIP ARE...wait for it.... THE TWO PEOPLE INVOLVED!! So they don't have to 'discuss it' with the 'World' or vent to the outside on a public forum. Or even give DAILY UPDATES ON IT...good (Oh my wife/husband/girlfiriend/boyfriend is so sweet 'cause they did....) that can be later be used against them when they give bad updates (That motherfucker...I hate when he/she does....I'm single for the night 'cause.....)
Are there some niggas out here being grimy? OF COURSE THERE ARE! That's all over though. Offline and online. Not saying that. What I am saying is that 'convicting cats' of doing so without proper context is UNWARRANTED like a motherfucker. That's what I am saying. You better start asking questions out here folks. Stop assuming. You'd be surprised what a STRAIGHT QUESTION WILL NET YOU. @ asking a woman or a man if they are 'involved with someone'. Most of the time, even if THEY LIKE YOU THEY WILL TELL YOU FROM THE GATE that they are. I can't believe I even have to type this shit to some of you. Especially those of you who proclaim you are SO SMART. -_-. I digress though.
Oh..and while I am 'up here', all of you folks who like to 'meet up with other folks' under the guise of common interest but YOU REALLY LIKE THE PERSON YOU ARE ASKING TO MEET UP WITH? Stop that shit. You are FAR WORSE THAN THE PERSON YOU SAY 'TWEETS LIKE HE/SHE IS SINGLE" At least they are being themselves. You are being dishonest. You don't want to meet because of your love of music(or whatever the activity in question is.). You want to meet because you want to see that person and your love of...(fill in the blank) I've seen MANY A PERSON GET ALL UP IN A HUFF 'CAUSE THEY MEET A PERSON AT A PLACE THAT SAID PERSON WAS GOING TO ANYWAY only to find out that person is 'taken'. Talking about 'They should have told me that..." Stop it out here. We are all adults. You are setting yourself up to fail.
Another thing that some of you fail to realize is that if YOU SEE THE CHARISMA, THE CHARM, THE WIT and like what you see in pictures, WHAT ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH MAKES YOU THINK YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO IS THE 'FINDER OF GOOD' IN PEOPLE? Do you HONESTLY THINK YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS SEEN THIS? On or offline? Rule of thumb people. If a person is a 'catch', just know that there are HANDS OUT THERE TRYING TO CATCH 'EM OR THEY HAVE PROBABLY ALREADY BEEN CAUGHT. Stop blaming folks who you are secretly pining after for not 'telling you they weren't available' when they were simply out here being the great person they are..* Which leads us into......
"I hate when (such and such) gets on line and fills my news feed/TL with all that talk about their bf/gf/husband/wife...I wish they would just stop..- You
So some of you asked for it to be 'upfront' and what do you do with that bit of information?
YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. This is another one I always see in my TLs and feeds. These folks are being forthright with the info and what do YOU DO? You bash 'em for it. Can't make up your minds can you?
I would assume that I don't have to 'spell it out' why this takes place now that I have explained the FIRST ISSUE but some of you are dense so here I go.
I feel like the MAIN REASON (there may be others but I am not covering those today) is for the FOLKS I JUST DESCRIBED UP ABOVE. They are effectively cutting people off at the pass. Shit gets tiring as fuck (Which is why I never did/do it) and you sound like a broken record but the point is made. Allegedly:
Come this way because you think I look nice or I am nice and someone is there. You've been warned.
I know...I know..They may be doing this because there may be some (gasp) insecurities in their relationship as well as nowadays BOTH PARTIES are on the same network. Which is THEIR BUSINESS btw. No relationship is perfect...** It isn't my relationship and I happen to know for a fact theirs is no more perfect than the rest of 'em out here. (Shrugs)
Some folks are appeasing their spouse which again, is their business** @ why they make these proclamations.
Hell, some folks ACTUALLY LIKE THEIR FUCKING SPOUSE AND ARE TELLING THE TRUTH. Just because you 'hate' that fool you chose doesn't mean it applies to everyone. Ever think of that? Anybody in any type of REAL COMMITTED relationship knows better than to put its contents all the way out there. You may ALWAYS love that person but there are some days that you don't 'like them at all' and that is okay. Putting it out there play by play though is NOT THE MOVE and they don't do that. That's just common sense. Who wants to have 'Just the other day you said you would do anything for your baby now it is 'Fuck her'" thrown back in their face? Not anyone with any type of common sense so you DON'T PUT EITHER ONE OF THEM OUT THERE TO BE SEEN. You keep it to yourself or your TRUSTED FOLKS. Not the whole Internet.
Some folks don't get on Twitter and Facebook to BE HARASSED DAILY by 'hollers' so they use it to fend them off FOR THEMSELVES. That's right. Some folks actually don't like the attention or know that NO GOOD CAN COME FROM IT. Some folks are out here fighting the 'good fight' and it is the only way they know how to fight it.***
So you see, despite the fact that you think they are 'trying to annoy you and everyone else', folks usually do have a reason for doing this. Some of those reasons are caused by people LIKE YOURSELF. On both sides of the fence.
Now I am willing to bet that some of you had not drawn the parallels of the two sides of these two issues because you never stopped to think about the 'why' or the 'cause' of them. I personally think BOTH WAYS OF THINKING ARE PRETTY STUPID. I mean unless a person is out here asking you OUT on dates and shit, I don't see how one can LOGIC LEAP THAT FAR. I don't see how this could be 'so upsetting' that I would have to tweet about it, day in and day out. That's your OWN FAULT IMO. **** Get a clue. Get a life. Keep it moving. Shit.
One shouldn't have to change being an outgoing and engaging person because you 'might end up liking them' in that way. FOH. Control your hormones PEOPLE dammit. Or deal with whatever comes with it when you find out their situation is 'different' than you had it made up to be in that pretty lil head of yours.***** Some folks aren't out here trying to broadcast their day to day relationship status JUST IN CASE you might wanna holler.
I will say this though. Some of you people who pride yourself in being 'so smart' need to get a FUCKING CLUE. The context clues are there. You are either really stupid OR YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. (My money is on the latter actually...Easier to say 'He/she didn't come out and say it so it is THEIR FAULT....Sure you're right..- Barry White..) If you TRULY ARE CLUELESS then like I said..Smarten up Nas. I mean folks give you JUST ENOUGH TO LET YOU KNOW THERE IS SOMEONE IN THEIR LIFE even when it is not their 'job' to do it. Trust me.
It is because of folks like YOURSELF that you (and the rest of us) have to ENDURE the relentless 'My bf/gf/wife/husband this....my (insert title) that...'....They feel like THEY HAVE TO DO IT less they be made out to be some 'monster who is out here leading folks on' and shit. They have probably been 'guilted' into talking about them just to have some fashion all the time for simply....well...just being themselves. Now if that isn't some bullshit to have to do...I don't know what is.
Remember this please the next time you see that 'nice looking person' in their avi who always tweets/facebook's you back in the morning. Sometimes, it is just that. Them speaking and you responding. Please social network responsibly out here folks...
*** They will learn that in time, if someone is going to approach them that no amount of preemptive ground work is going to persuade that person not to. It is life. Some folks are determined. The key is having the person you are with realize that too. lol 'Cause it can be hell if they don't or if they are in denial about the folks who approach them on the daily (even though they do 'nothing to provoke it'. )
****Which is funny considering there is an article making its way around 'Black Twitter' today about 'emotionally unavailable folks' and I blame them for it. Funny in an ironic way I can admit. I see this as being 'different' 'cause there is TRULY NO EFFORT BEING MADE BY THE PERSON BEING PURSUED. It is all a stretch by the person who is interested.
***** Lets keep it FUNKY ONCE AGAIN. If you like the person, you are GOING TO DEAL WITH 'WHATEVER IT IS YOU FIND OUT' AND IF YOU AREN'T THEN THERE IS NO HARM NO FOUL. Either way, life goes on. Either you find out they have someone and you are gonna stick around to see what it is (like COUNTLESS NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE DONE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME) OR you are gonna say 'Fuck it...NEXT PERSON'. That's all there is to it.
(Video) Man (young man) stabbed to death over Foamposites (sneaker)
-_-
I don't want to place blame at the feet of the young man purchasing the sneaker either. He should be able to buy them and not die over them. I place that solely on the person who did the killing. Sorry. They are sneakers. That's it. Most of the time, especially when you are THAT YOUNG, your shoes are one of the few possessions that you own of any REAL VALUE if that is what you decide to spend the little bit of cash you have. So I don't look at it as being flashy per say. I do UNDERSTAND that folks WILL kill you over stuff like though. I am not naive. It was something that happened when I was younger actually. I thought we had kinda moved 'past it'. One killing a trend does not make but one killing is still ONE TOO MANY over something so trivial as a pair of sneakers.
UPDATE: Allegedly...this is...alleged.. @ his death. Still, it doesn't matter in one sense...I have another video to show it is 'real'..
UPDATE: Allegedly...this is...alleged.. @ his death. Still, it doesn't matter in one sense...I have another video to show it is 'real'..
He was killed...OVER CANDY? We have GOT TO DO BETTER PEOPLE.. (Video) From Atlanta..
Unbelievable. You cats are out here taking this 'Don't stand for nothing...fall for anything.." shit TOO FAR MAN. For real. Chill regular. Folks are dying over NOTHING.
See, this is proof that some of you out there believe the 'jokes...Man catches the fade from a security guard...video..
The kicker is....He thinks he won the fight. As in he thinks he DOMINATED THE FIGHT. You watch the tape. Lets see how biased you are...I know some of you don't like uniforms and shit but ole buddy got his ass handed to him. Sorry.
Here's the video...
Knock 'em dead (in audible name)...Karaokee gone wrong...Caucasian
I guess in the wake of Kreayshawn and V-Nasty, folks are all of the sudden 'sensitive' towards the subject. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing though. See, we LOVE TO GET UPSET ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS BUT ARE REALLY HESITANT TO CALL EACH OTHER ON THE THINGS THAT WE DO TO CONTRIBUTE TO THINGS..I digress though. Yuck it up at the video. Ignore the fact that we kinda opened the door to this one....As you always do. Again, I don't mind that folks care. Please DO CARE. But if you are one of those people that HATES STUFF LIKE THIS BUT THINKS IT IS OKAY FOR THE KID IN PHILLY TO BE PULLING OUT THE AK AND SHOOT AT BUSES then....Yeah nigga....Miss me with that shit...
If you are gonna do the 'Do Better Thing', be consistent is all I am saying...
So you named your son "Da Realyst"....As in his LEGAL NAME?
(Sighs) Yeah...WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? Congratulations, you have put a target on the boy's back that he WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SHAKE. Can imagine the 'misunderstandings' that he is going to face?
"What's your name?"- A random person
"Da Realyst..."- him
"Yeah..yeah..nigga..I'm the 'realest cat too'...What's your name tho..."- Random Person
(All hell breaks lose after about two minutes of this...)
That's just one reason why it is a bad idea. Of course more folks will do it if he turns out to be a killer, a football player or really fantastic at something. Which is sad.
