Sugar v. Coco
"Damn... that mare has a big round ass, long shapely legs and golden hair."
Maybe Rodell Vereen was imagining himself as Ice T and pretending that the horse (Sugar) was Coco.
Mr. Vereen was probably told that he was "Hung like a horse" and decided to test the theory out.
(Identity of victim hidden to protect her privacy.)
Buggery, Paraphilia or Zoophilia - that brotha' is just wrong.
But Sugar got off easy - she only developed an infection.
A few years ago, Henry Lewis - in Sweetwater, Alabama - caused a horse to become so sick that it died a few days after being raped.
What is wrong with these country ass Negroes?
Do they really desire a blond so badly that they will settle for a horse?
I can only imagine Mr. Vereen's photos on his prison cell walls.

What The Heck, Beck
Most racist people feel as though they have been wronged by society instead of focusing on their own shortcomings.
Glenn Beck's troubled past
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Beck
is evidence in such a hypothesis.
I'm sure Mr. Beck wished that it was he who;
-was in a stable long-lasting marriage,
-enjoyed a complete Ivy League education,
-had healthy children
-had no addiction to drugs or alcohol,
-and was President of the United States of America.
It's hard to blame a guy whose culture taught him that by playing by all the rules it is you (he) who deserves all that is good in this country, and anyone who disproves this ideology must be a racist.
This is why police officers get offended at having a Black man as their societal superior.
This is why Palin's followers are up in arms over a Black President.
This is why Limbaugh followers are vexed at the idea of any minority group gaining a toe-hold on power.
This is why Fox News survives.
There are still those who assume a sense of superiority predicated on their race alone.
This is why racist whites don't really hate poor Black people. (Poor and undereducated Blacks are not a threat.)
This is why racist whites discriminate against Asians for doing so well on standardized tests. (Asians don't only compete against just the best of other races - they must compete against the best of their own for the few slots at top-tier universities.)
This is why racist whites form militia and claim that their jobs are being taken by simple immigrant workers.
This is why Black celebrities are hated-on as being too ghetto. (They didn't follow the established rules.)
This is why Barack Obama is the most hated Black man in America.
So Mr. Beck - Who is it that has the motivation and symptoms of being a Racist?
(Definitely not he who has consistently overcome the limitations put upon him by a still somewhat racist nation.)

Better Than Magic
He doesn't have to be as funny or as culturally relevant as Arsenio - But I'm just hoping that Brian McKnight can pull off the (not too difficult) task of being better than Magic Johnson.
Not since the days of In Living Color and Arsenio Hall and Spike Lee movies (With music from Public Enemy.) have we had the chance to redefine our cultural standards.
Here's to hoping we get it right this time.

Daddy Style
Tyler Perry stated that he is often frustrated by his critics who say that his material is too juvenile or too sophomoric.
That his material appeals only to the most base elements of our culture or that the humor is too broad.
He points out that his television show, movies, and plays often have a message that gets lost in such criticism.
Ne-ga-ro please.
Barney, Teletubbies and Vegetales also have a message - and they're geared towards children -
but even these children's shows contain as much or more sophistication as your material.
Really... does a whole family have to come across as being in bad over-acted Novella on Telemundo?
Recently, I walked in on a group of teen-aged cousins discussing how their fathers, step-fathers or uncles were like characters on television shows.
None listed the Wayans character from My Wife And Kids,
None pointed out similarities to the father on the Wayan's Bros. show.
None listed the imbecilic father (uncle) of House of Payne.
But all of these father stereo-types are seen by many as "keeping it real".
In reality - who has a father as inept as these?
In fact, from this group, none listed even Cosby.
Bernie Mac was often cited as the common father-type for cool uncles.
James Evans from Good Times was cited as the stern father-type of those with an attendant father.
The father on Everybody Hates Chris (Julius) was also commonly cited by those with a father who was present in their lives.
My step-father was a combination of James Evans and the Julius fathers.
My step-father was a working union man who would always seem to be going on strike.
My step-father was quick with the belt but cheap as hell.
Maybe that's why my father-figure style is a combination of Cosby and Bernie Mac.
When I'm mentoring my young cousins - I'm Cosby.
But when it's time to take care of business - I'm Bernie.
At least that's what they say.
That's what their friends say too.
Okay... I'll take it as a complement.
So Mr. Perry - One can represent a true image of a Black father without assuming that the Black audience needs to be entertained in the same manner as children.
So Mr. Perry - It would seem that your version of "real" isn't so real after all.
That his material appeals only to the most base elements of our culture or that the humor is too broad.

Vick To Raiders?
A four to six game suspension might seem a bit harsh to some NFL fans and players - but this punishment isn't without precedent.
During the 1960's - Pete Rozelle suspended Alex Karros and Paul Hornung for an entire season for violating the league's gambling policies.
League commissioners have usually gotten away with enforcing punishments on players who are deemed to have devalued the image of the league.
But when Vick gets his pass back into the league - where will he play?
The Oakland Raiders seem to be a good fit.
Their outlaw image could be used as a marketing tool in Vick's favor.
The Raiders are in the 'hood.
The Raiders are 'hood.
They play across the bay from the more cultured croissant eating 49er's.
They play in an area that would understand the lure of dog-fighting and thugishness.
Vick in the land of Pac - it would be a perfect fit.
Who do the Raiders have?
Jeff Garcia?
Pa-lease. He reminds me of Jim Plunkett - A solid Raiders quarterback, but boring as hell.
JaMarcus Russel?
Why settle for a Vick-like quarterback when they could get the real thing?
Charlie Frye or another of the no-names on their roster?
Al Davis and the Raiders could actually benefit from from having a former felon on the field playing for the former felons in the stands.
My prediction - Vick in Oaktown.

Shut Up Bitch !
So PETA wants psychological testing before it will feign contentment with Michael Vick's punishment?
I just don't see it.
I just don't see it.
How is it that Paris Hilton (after serving her sentence for a drunk driving conviction) still gets to make a living doing... what exactly?
But she still gets to make a living.
Where is the M.A.D.D.?
Michael Phelps still keeps his endorsement deals after being caught taking a few puffs from a bong.
How is he any more of a "role model" than Vick?
Where is the anti-drug lobby?
Marta Stewart still makes millions as the Queen of Entertaining after her stint in federal prison.
Where is the anger of those burned by the recent manipulation of the stock markets?
Vick has (and will) serve his sentence.
His (potentially) earned full reinstatement after missing the first six games of the regular season,
combined with his lost income,
combined with 20 months in jail,
combined with work being done with the Humane Society,
should all be enough for him to continue to enjoy his Constitutionally protected right of pursuing his happiness.

CNN BIA 2
Okay, okay... I've heard and read the complaints against the series, but many have missed the point.
The series was called Black In America not "For Black America".
The intent of the series was to inform non-Blacks about the conditions within many Black communities.
The series wasn't intended as a salute to Black Americans for Black Americans.
Many have noticed the lack of knowledge possessed by the series host Soledad O'Brien.
But that too was the point.
Journalists like Walter Cronkite often learned while they were on location to report a story.
Soledad appears to have done the same.
Soledad appeared to be learning things for the first time along with her intended non-Black audience.
If Time Warner would have wanted to do a bunch of Black History moments, they probably would have put the show on the CW or on TBS after House of Payne.
But the point of the show was to bring to light many concerns within the Black community to a white audience.
So is race a topic of conversation on the network and cable news shows?
Yep.
Did BIA2 aid in the furthering of discussions concerning race?
Yep.
Did BIA2 fulfill it's intended mission?
Yep.
So, all petty quips aside - CNN's BIA 2 receives an "A-".

LessNique (Please)
Citzen Ojo asked why it was that I can't seem to stand Mo'Nique.
FreeMan said that she must have taken my lunch from me when I was a child.
(Nah FreeMan - she never took my lunch, but whenever I see her, she just about makes me lose my lunch.)
But I hate Mo'Nique and women like her because they are haters and hypocrites.
I listen to many of my less than attractive, fat, dumb, poor and simple cousins talk shit about any woman who they think looks better than themselves (which is most other women).
I listen to these beastly women hate on Beyonce, Rihanna, Keisha Coles (who looked great with the black hair at the BET awards), and anyone else who has a life better than their own.
I listen as they talk about Halle Berry, Kerry Hilson or Ciara being anorexic - all the while they are drinking Diet Coke and eating a salad with their 3000 calorie meals all in an effort to lose weight.
Mo'Nique just looks like an old meatloaf. All greasy and sloppy but an effort has been made to make it seem more appealing.
Mo'Nique just sweats gravy.
Women like Mo'Nique don't really hate these people - they just hate that it isn't them living the life.
But this isn't endemic to Mo'Nique or her hater sisters.
TMZ, Hollywood Tonite, Entertainment Tonight and others have made careers off of being such haters.
People watch the judge shows, reality television, and talk shows so that they can talk shit about how dumb other people are.
People watch Wheel of Fortune instead of Jeopardy because they can imagine themselves as intellectual for being able to play a high-tech version of hangman.
Popular culture is a hater culture and to me; Mo'Nique is the poster child for that culture.

Racism 101
It would seem that Professor Gates needs to pay more attention in his own classroom discussions.
How did the professor fail to understand the racial and social dynamics of the town in which he was teaching.
Sorry Skip, but; white wife+white neighborhood+white life... does not equal white man.
If anyone should have known the limitations of their Blackness, it should have been Professor Gates.

Simple Arithmetic
One of the problems with trying to help people is deciding which people to help.
Most people would assume that the best thing to do is to help those who are in most in need.
But this thinking is often a waste of time, effort and resources.
These "negative" people usually act in such a way as to cancel out any positive influence on their life.
Then we have the survivors.
These people are neither hot nor cold.
These are the people that accept any condition they are given and fail to make much effort in making things better.
These benign individuals will be helped by any assistance - they just won't show a profit beyond what you've put in.
At the end of the day, the only improvement shown is what was put in by the outside source.
The outside resources could have been spent in a more profitable way.
The best way to aid anyone one is by only helping those who are helping themselves.
This way, your "1" plus their "1" actually adds up to some thing of greater value.
A person who is helping themselves and others could be assigned a greater value.
If a person is helping ten other people, assisting him will enable him to positively effect ten more.
This way, your one effects ten more (in addition to the original recipient).
Instinctively, we assume that he who is greatest need should receive the most help.
But these people are always in need.
People who always need something are the people who will always need something.
The people who settle for anything will settle for anything.
Your investment in that person won't grow.
The only way to effect any real change is by utilizing your resources on those who are actually making an effort to help themselves (and ideally, others).
Really, it's just simple arithmetic.
