So much racism, so little time. From a forensic point of view I am hopeful that we are getting closer to proving that Trayvon was whipping Barney Fife's, excuse me, Paul Blart's ass when he was shot in the classic Floridian "lay your ground" defense. As Zimmy the Pinhead was having his melon used for dribble practice he suddenly realized that there was only one way out of the cluster fuck he created for himself. But am I confused or is there a Black woman in the Aint No Sunshine state doing time right now for shooting AT her douchebag of a man? Well, I would have been more surprised if this supposed law was enforced equally.
And then there is Arizona....or as I like to call it...Mississippi with more sand and less sanity. You would think that these folks would have figured out what the folks in Bahrain and UAE have accepted a long time ago. Yeah, I don't want you black and brown folks living in my cul de sac, but I do need you to clean said cul de sac. I guess the good news is that all the brown people from Alabama are headed west so maybe you will pick up a few good workers, assuming Joe doesn't get them first. Oh, that's right, he's spending tax money sending deputies to Hawaii to investigate that birth certificate thing. What would white people do without the ugly and insane? Maybe get along better with everyone?
Even in the promised land, a brown or black brotha can't catch a break. In the freedom loving and open minded city of Tel Aviv there was a small problem with Jewish citizens rioting and vandalizing the shops and stores owned by African immigrants. The earlier reports say that some were chanting "Black Out" as they broke windows and terrorized their "neighbors." I would have thought that it would take longer than 60 years to forget so much that you could be on the business end of that kind of racist hatred. But then again, if that were true, the West Bank would be celebrating their independence anniversary by now.
And my personal fave...the one that doesn't even appear as a racist story but it sure is. A woman in New Jersey is in big trouble because she allegedly took her five year old daughter to the tanning booth. For the record, we love tanning booths because it reminds us just how stupid your racism really is. You spend every waking moment in the sun, trying to get your skin to turn that lovely dark brown. And then you spend every night making certain that anyone who was born with brown skin doesn't see that sun, unless through jail windows. I lost count of the number of females who told me that their fathers told them they would be forgiven any transgression, except one. Don't ever bring a Black man into this house. So this poor woman, this tanned to the extreme woman, this skin like a catcher's glove woman, is being mocked and ridiculed because she has made her tan a life's work. And here is what makes this story racist, if this woman had a tan like say, the Jersey Shore girls, would this be a story? Nope. If this woman was spraying tan on her five year old like they do on Toddlers and Tiaras, would this be a story? Nope. It's only a story because this woman makes white people have to face the absurdity of their pursuit of brown skin. Keep laughing my white friends, because trust this....we sure are. It helps after we read about all the other shit we have to deal with.
