  1. BY GOD, THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE! The question is racist. Any fool knows that you cannot graduate high school without reading the classics. The questioner assumes that somehow we have not read them because we are on an African American site. This is what happens when you let Teabaggers run rampant all over the country. I'm curious, what do you think about white, Western literature? Does anybody read or enjoy Homer, Shakespeare or T.S. Eliot? I know this forum is mostly meant for discussing black writings, but indulge me. (Only the spawn of Adolph Hitler and Strom Thurmond would even think that we haven't read these. My question is, what kind of person are you?)
  2. Agreed. I think your thoughts are about right. She set him up and baited him. I listened to the tape three times. etc Funny. I didn't see you post this when Mel made that drunken rant about JEWS! What did you think about that? Was it Anti Semitic? Was it good? Would you like to go on record making the same kind of statements? You know what would happen to you don't you. You know, a friend of mine used to sasy all the time, "Slaves love Slave masters." I didn't get it. Until I did a study of psychology. Of how some sick, masochistic people love to have a boot in their face or in their belly. Different strokes. But if you like a boot in your butt Don't be surprised when EVERYBODY gets some!
  3. YOU were the guy who posted this. Why did you do it? Because you think having 52 shootings (not murders) in Chicago in one weekend was GOOD? You are confused. It is the heat. Simmer down. Cool down. Listen to the gunshots. Ahh, the Children of the Night! What music they make!
  4. Dear Carey: We have talked about this before. Oprah's audience doesn't know who Gil Scott Heron is, and if they knew, they'd turn on her like mad dogs if she tried to push him to them. We might not like what Oprah is doing but she knows just what she is. If she put on what we liked she would starve to death.
  5. The news gets worser and worser http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/14/AR2010071406006_pf.html http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0710/39772.html
  6. (No. Nobody reads that sh*t. White people don't either, if you haven't been paying attention. Now go over on the Stormfront website and discuss this with your uncles)
  7. Whoopi could be right in claiming that Mel Gibson is not really a racist. He's probably just a loose-lipped drunk who says what the average white person thinks. This makes him more like a "benign bigot", and puts him in a class with those who casually use racial epithets when referring to Whites. (Whoopi Goldberg ain't right about sh*t. Let us, for the Gibson lovers out here, who think he has to love Negroes because he was in a movie with one or two, repreat what the hell he said. "You are gonna get raped by a bunch of niggers." This is one of the great calumnies that have been heaped on black men since we got here--that all we want to do is get loose and rape some white women. Of course, then again, you think the 1950's was just wonderful. I wish you could go back and get a real taste of it. I still don't understand, as racist as I found Champaign Urbana in the late 60's, how you experienced nothing but love and light and racial delight in that dump. All the cops had southern accents. Only one what black. Gangs of whites would still beat up isolated black guys when they found them. If you went to county jail--you might not come out. A community at war was what I saw. And the black natives insisted it was a lot better than it had been before. This must be what the pyschologists mean when they talk about cognitive dissonance.
  8. You know, it's pretty good to read a lot of books. But what are you retaining? Is this just some marathon excercise? What good to read a book, forget everything you read, and start all over again? There are some great books and great writers I read over and over again--the great ones you always discover something new.

  10. For some people it makes sense. People with a music site or something trying to raise a fan base. For the rest of us it is an utter waste of time. Anybody I need talk to I pick up the phone or go over their house. Americans are utterly hooked on gadgets. You can sell them anything that is supposed to be "the latest" Look at all the a--holes that picked up that new phone. It does everything--but take your calls. I used to try and wake people up to it. Now I just wish I could get some of that booty!
  11. This should be their campaign slogan: You don't like the shape the country's in? The Republicans did it! If you want more, vote for them! They should hammer that in over and over. They should say it in reply to every question put to them. Unless they totally demonize them they don't stand a chance. I don't think they have the balls for it.
  12. Every Negro should keep up on basketball. It is one of the few things you got going. Anyway, he did NOT stab Cleveland in the back. Just the same, I hope he was moved out of his house, his bags was packed and he had a plane ticket in his pocket when he made that decision. Tyger Woods is the Obama of Golf. Will LeBron be the Obama of Basketball?
  13. have a cousin, approaching 50 years of age that lives in Philly. He is always lamenting the derth of available women. His argument is that most of the women his age, that are available are simply too fat. (See? This is the Bushwah I'm always talking about! YOU CANNOT KEEP YOUR MINDS ON ONE THING for more than TEN SECONDS. This is not a problem!)
  14. THERE IS NO DAMN SOLUTION! You remind me of this silly heifer who comes on the radio here in Da Lou. We're laying off cops. We're laying off firemen. Murders are on the rise. Joblessness in double digits. This heifer prattles on and on about people picking up the trash in the yard. You get the old bird and say--"Hey! How about the trash in the half dozen abandoned buildings on your block which are abandoned due to foreclosure." She goes blank. It's too big for her mind. It's too big for your minds, but you better find room. It's gonna be hell in America for the next 10 years. Oh yes, many--probably the majority--will do fine. They'll have it just like they used to. Maybe better. 20 to 40 percent of the population is gonna live like they do in Mumbai,or Baghdad,or Mexico City--which will mean is they will live and that's just about all. Jesus! Don't you watch the news? Don't you see what's happening in the Gulf, all over? AMERICA IS FUCKED UP! Niggas are gonna be DOUBLY fucked up. Want to think something different? Go watch Oprah or something.
  15. What do y'all think is the cause of this problem? What are the solutions? (There is no solution. Jobs? Ain't no jobs out there. We are in a depression about to get worse? Education? Ain't no jobs if you get a degree. How is the ghetto, the place of the mindshaft canaries, supposed to be in good shape when AMERICA is fucked up? Why do Negroes keep beating their brains out about the symptoms when we don't look at the disesase? You see GENERATION KILL? Watch it. Or watch the news from Afghanistan or Iraq altogether. What's happening over there is gonna start happening here. In fact, it is in a way. In reponse to several murders the cops put on the strong show around here. Killed a couple of guys. Smashed in some houses with the SWAT teams. Ain't stopped nothing. The people know their lives mean nothing. Save yourselves. It will be at your doors soon) Some say it is the "culture of violence" of the Black inhabitants of Chicago. Some blame the legacy of slavery. Some blame a lack of jobs, good schools, and community centers. (AMERICA IS FUCKED UP! Haven't you been watching the news. This crap is also going on in the poor white areas. We are having wars over Meth, Meth lab busts, all over this state. The only thing is to watch it burn itself out Sorry if I can't give you some fairy tale solution so we all wind up sipping lemonade and singing Kumbaya. Lots of people are going to die. Make sure you and yours ain't in that number. The American Dream is coming true)
  16. My opinion of Mosley is that he is out of gas. It is very difficult to maintain any enthusiasm for a character or setting after you have written more than three or four books about him/her--essentially what you are doing is writing the same book over and over again. I had given up on his detective series awhile ago. He was making some progress with his SF work, but abandoned it--no doubt at the urging of his publisher and agent, who never wanted him to do it in the first place. He was not helped by the fact that PRINT SF (as opposed to FILM SF) is about dead. How can ANY writer compete with the Star Wars Trilogy or the Matrix? I ain't seen nobodyyet. Anyway, based on what I read here I checked out the McGill books. Mosley is out of gas. Happens to all of us. Carpenters. Cops. Writers. If he wants to stick with it he needs to get more James Ellroy. Read some Urban fiction. Maybe Frank Miller's Sin City. His Private Dicks with a family and a heart don't cut it. I understand he has a submission to present positive black male role models--at least as postive as you can with characters who are lying, killing, stealing and breaking into folks' houses and butting their noses into crap that ain't their business. He's a bright man and very industrious. I think he is bored with it and should move on to teaching and non fiction.

  18. I been checking out this DVD. A scene from it as follows http://www.evtv1.com/player.aspx?itemnum=5036 Enjoyed this performance more than the one by Blatherin Sir Larry (Ole Blackface) even though it was later in Marshall's life, he had an inferior cast, and he was wearing a lavender costume that made him look like Maya Angelou with a mustache (I think the costumer went for "classical" costuming. I think here William Marshall, being black, did not have to act black and just had to sit back and blow. Them lines by the way are ridiculous and reduced several members of the cast to chewing the scenery. Face it--nobody talks like that anymore (and they did not then--imagine making a five minute speech in beautiful Elizabethan blank verse while bleeding your guts out) Shakespeare may be through. All his recent movies ain't done nothing at the box office. Go to a play, and you got a bunch of couch potatoes pretending they understand it. Ha!
  19. I wanted to get into this thread. But I didn't have time...
  20. Wonderful, literate, uplifting. It makes my blood boil. Where is the Janelle Monae?
  21. "Sugar" was marketed solely to African American readers. This type of marginalization has come to be known among African American writers as "seg-book-gation." This practice is not only demeaning but also financially crippling. (I don't have any sympathy for her. Being marketed solely to African American readers has not hurt Zane, Iceberg Slim, Sistah Souljah, or many others. If white folks want your stuff, they will find it, just like they did the writers above and just like they did Jazz, hip hop, Blues and other stuff that was marketed soleley for Blacks. This is the old, "Blame the Publishing Industry" because nobody is reading my book. I do know you can make a sales phenomenon by just publicity alone. But, as always, its what's on the page that does it. She's probably living in a condo, sipping on a latte, thinking about getting a facial. I bleed for the black woman who is trying to figure out how to get food on the table, child care, and getting back home alive.
  22. Anybody who believes the General was sandbagged by Rollinstone is an idiot. He bailed out on what he sees as a failing effort. We are broke. We cannot afford to do Iraq and Afghanistan AND meet all our other commitments in the world. Obama should have pulled the hell out of there already. Probably can't. He's little more than a puppet of the military/industrial complex. Nobody is afraid of him. He should have said that we are in the middle of an offensive and we will talk to the General when he is finished. If the General had been successful, then bygones are bygones. If he failed THEN fired him. Now if the "surge" is a failure it is Obama's fault. Way to go, O. What would I do in this situation. Turn this thing over to the First Marine Division let them turn Kandahar into a parking lot. Then America can have what it wants. Blood. Slaughter. Also I'd make sure I was well set up with a good job in a couple years. Then the Democrats can turn the country over to the Republicans and let them finish wrecking it.
  23. Matt Simmons agrees with me http://money.cnn.com/2010/06/09/news/companies/simmons_gulf_oil_spill.fortune/index.htm
