You Too Can Make It

Ah me. You Kneegroes never learn. Case in point. Herman Cain. Mr. Cain, who is

running for president of these United States of Amerikka had this to say about you lazy Kneegroes:

"I don't have facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration. Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself! ... It is not a person's fault if they succeeded, it is a person's fault if they failed."

I'm pretty sure he was talking to white people too. But we all know who he was really addressing(wink, wink)

The Fool generally, as a rule doesn't discuss politics, but I couldn't let this one pass. Way back in the day, when the slaves were planning a revolt or an escape, there was always one of you Kneegroe who would scamper back up to the big house to inform his beloved master what those crazy darkies were planning. Seems times haven't changed that much, huh?

This comes on the heel of our esteemed president telling you Kneegroes to get out of bed, take off your slippers and put on your walking shoes. If you ain't figured it out by now, then you really do have a problem, because the fact is: Kneegroes who make it in this life are not like you, don't want to be like you and do not want to associate with you and will go to any lengths, no matter how absurd to distant themselves from you. Kneegroes who make it in the business world are a special breed with very, very, tough skin. They are also insane. Of course there are exceptions to every rule.

They go along to get along. They have made themselves into what they think the big giant heads want them to be. They will say or do anything that they think will please TBGH and progress their status in life. But I really don't blame them, after all, we all want what "they" want.

You people are constantly throwing around the words Black community. There is no Black community. There is only a few million people with a few million views and they all conflict with each other. There is no Black culture. You left any culture that you had on the shores of Africa, as any African will tell you. Aren't Africans a jolly people?

Herman Cain and Kneegroes like him say these things to distance themselves from you. In their twisted minds, you are where you are because you are lazy, refuse to learn and speak proper English. While the real fact is, you are where you are because you refuse to work together, get along with each other and form your own communities where you can dictate your own future. This is where your strengths lie and this is the only path to survival in today's world.

From where I stand, there will always be Kneegroes like Herman Cain who will toss your black asses under the bus, watch it roll over you and merrily walk over your mangled black carcass to get to the other side of the street to kiss his white masters ass.

The sooner you learn to get your act together and start demanding that the black politicians who serve you, the people, do their jobs and make it their priority to get the street pirates, rapist and robbers out of your neighborhoods, then the better it will be.

But what am I saying? That would mean that you Kneegroes would actually have to start working together. It would mean that you would have to start getting along without killing each other. What was I thinking?

Big Giant Heads

The Fool feels that there is some explaining in order. So since this is my Blog,

I'm going to take a minute or two and go into a little more detail of the phrase "Big Giant Head."

As those, if any, of you know, I use these words often in my posts to refer to white people, who are different, in my view, from human beings, who can be white or any other color of the spectrum. I also use the word Kneegroe in lieu of that "other" word.

White people are separate from human beings in that they define themselves by their color or lack thereof. They are quick to anger. They are quick to pre judge. Knee jerk reactions are their favorite emotion. In the twenty first century they feel that they are an endangered race and every body is out to get them, especially black people. Kneegroes don't apply here, since they are too busy killing each other, which is in white peoples' favor.

White people's favorite phrase to black people is "get over it", whatever "it" is. It couldn't be slavery and the antebellum south could it, because southern white people have galas every year to celebrate the original southern way of life, which by-the-way, included slaves. They also have these wonderful civil war reenactments whereby they dress up in Civil War regalia and play at killing each other. And then there is this little picture to your left in Stone Mountain, Ga carved into the side of the mountain just to make sure YOU don't forget, because "they" haven't apparently gotten over it.

Human beings don't celebrate killing.

White people can always point out the flaws in other races, and have the data and statistics to back it up. Which always amaze me, because statistics can be manipulated, which to white people is a minor inconvenience to be overlooked.

Since we have struggled to this time and to this place in history and a black person is now president, white people have gone into attack mode. As they are now famous for saying, "White guilt is a thing of the past", a word they invented during the late 60's. (Black people had no idea what white guilt was.) I personally still don't know. Was it feeling guilty about slavery? Was it feeling guilty about Jim Crow, which was only about 55 years ago. How about those Sun down laws which morphed into DWB? Was it feeling guilty about their country which guaranteed certain rights to all people under the Constitution of the United States, yet denied those very same rights to black Americans?.

What's a fool to think? If white people had guilt, then that meant that they had a conscious. And if they had a conscious then they had to do the right thing. Isn't that what morality is all about?

Big Giant Heads have no guilt. Big Giant Heads have corrupted their consciousness. Big Giant Heads deny white privilege, while bemoaning the fact that too many black people and "other" races are getting hired instead of them. To a Big Giant Head, the only way a black person can land a decent job is through affirmative action. Big giant heads have cogitative reasoning.

And why the term Big Giants Heads anyway? Seriously? Have you looked at white peoples heads lately? I submit to you the head of Clint Eastwood for your examination or how about Keith Olberman as just two examples. You just need to open your eyes and look, but because psychology is being used to distract you, so that you don't notice. Have you ever heard of the term: high forehead? Try substituting the word big or giant. You get the message. Now you know.

Just the Facts Ma'am

The following is courtesy of: www.eurweb.com and is one of a slew responses to

Janet Hubert on the subject of "The Angry Black Woman".

The below was written by: brooklynbabe, which I present to you without further comment.

If you had such a problem working with a rapper, you never should have taken the damn role in the first place.

Second, I am tired of other sistas and their “problems” with those of us who are light. “Angry light skinned woman…?” Bitch, I'M BLACK! Dark skinned sistas always try to act as if we are separate and apart from the rest of the race. You all do that, not us! I go through the same shit you all do on a daily basis. I have to work twice as hard as they do, just like you do and that’s only to maintain. Forget about getting ahead. That’s more luck and timing than anything else. As we are lucky enough to be there at the time when no one else wants the damn job!

Get over your damn selves!!! We have no more advantage than your asses do. And for those of you that won’t let the damn house Negro myth go, I will tell you again. Those were the slave owners children whether he actually acknowledged them or not. If they didn’t work in the field, so what? I am always going to treat my children different than I would someone else’s. Exercise some actual common sense where that one is concern and finally let that shit go.

And, let go of that “I’m natural!!!” bullshit! Nobody gives a fuck about how YOU CHOOSE to wear your damn hair. If you want to wear an afro, wear it and shut the fuck up about it. Stop trying to tell the rest of the Black race how their hair should be. We can wear out hair any way we want. If you were so damn comfortable and happy with your hair and how “natural” it is, you wouldn’t talk about it every two seconds and feel the need to trumpet how happy and comfortable you are with your kinky, natural, not white hair! GTFOH!

Do you really believe that the majority of the white women that you see walking around are natural?! Do you?! If you do, you’re as stupid as I am sitting here thinking your dumb ass is! The majority of white women are fried, dyed and laid to the side, thank you very much!

It amazes me how so many on this site think they know so much and don’t know shit! Try walking into a white hair salon sometime and pay attention fools. Talk to some of them. Relaxers, hair color, extensions, weaves, clip ons, hair dye, etc., that was all pioneered for white women and then reformulated, repackaged and rebranded for us. I’ve repeatedly told you that the bulk of the money that's made in cosmetics and hair is from white woman. Yeah, they like the money that we spend but, we are a small part and an afterthought. Yeah, every so often they bring up how much we spend but, that’s actually brought up to show how much we spend on that in relation to what we make. It’s not that we’re keeping the cosmetic/hair industry afloat because quite simply, we don’t.

Get thee some education, a clue and some damn self love. Dark skinned Black women are their own worse enemy and then, sadly, an enemy to rest of the race because y’all can’t let go of those self-made demons and move on. You do your own selves in before anyone else would even have a chance to do so. SMDH!

This ish done pissed me off royally this morning! Too damn early.

The Fool must admit that he did a little house cleaning on her response. Mostly grammar and such, but I think the meaning comes through loud and clear.

Cogitative Reasoning

The Fool is a student of the art of cogitation, not to be confused with prestidigitation. One means to mentally ponder a thing or things, while the other

means to manipulate a thing or things. Both have a common origin, that being the word manipulate.

I say I am a student. I am still learning. There are accomplished cogitators and there are professional cogitators. There are those of you who don't cogitate at all. And, there are those of you out there whose cogitative function is severely limited or at worse damaged beyond repair.

Suffice it to say that thinking is nothing without reason, a faculty that is sadly lacking in a lot of people. Reason being a word subject to a lot of interpretations. Then couple interpretive reasoning to cogitative malfunction and a social misfit is born.

A truth is, it all depends on your view of reality and your place in the puzzle that is life.

That was kinda of a long opening. I suppose I'm supposed to segue into the subject that I want to discuss today. Well. I don't want to. I suppose I could write about the unusual habit black actors have of dying in the movies or just disappearing altogether. Something that annoys the Fool to no end. I mean, did you see The Book of Eli? Denzel Washington, the STAR of the movie died. What kind of shit was that! Remember Battle Star Galactica? All the black actors who had speaking parts died.

How about Supernatural? The Fool loves Supernatural, but did they have to kill off Rufus? And where did they get the name Rufus from, for christsakes?

I could go on and on. But what's the use. So, back to work here. I'm all over the page today.

It would seem that a lot of black people suffer from cogitative reasoning. One example, being hell bent on remaining stupid, which is different from ignorant. Ignorant is just the lack of knowledge, something that can be fixed, but it would seem that "stupid" goes much deeper. Is it stupid to want to remain ignorant. Is it stupid to be smart, but dumb yourselves down to remain in favor with genetically stupid people or people who make a conscious decision to be stupid? Being smart, one has to know that hanging with stupid people is nothing but a dead end. So if your really smart you should be able to figure out that being around stupid people that do stupid things, will, in the long run make you stupid too.

The road that black people have been set upon is a hard one full of boulders, logs, flaming glass, ditches with alligators in them, wrecked cars and least of all Big Giant Heads who dislike you for no other reason than your color. The last thing you need to be dragging along behind you is a stupid black person, who in the end will toss your black ass into that ditch with the alligators while berating you for walking too fast and that was getting on his nerves and he needed his daily fix of drama.

You lose. Trying to do the right thing is not always the right thing to do. Some roads you have to walk alone to eventually be in the position to smooth the road out for those who come behind you. Sometimes stupid people have to be busted upside the head many times before a neuron is struck in just the right way and the light comes on.

The Universe is patient. It is relentless and will keep whacking you upside your head until you get the message. I know.

Where Did Our Beliefs Go?

Are we (black people) a spiritual people? The Fool's question for the day. I

know we used to be a religious people. We used to believe in a God and... that belief held us in good stead for almost 300 years. We used to believe that good and righteous people would, in the end get their "just" rewards in heaven. We believed that the wicked and evil people that inhabit this realm with us would get their comeuppance. Not so much now.

Heaven, in today's reality is just a mite bit too far away, I think. Have black people lost their way? Do the not "guaranteed rewards" outweigh the fact that there are so many evil people in the world who are living it up to the max on your dime?

Is it the fact that you have to go through so many personal, unnecessary and unwanted slights during the course of a day that makes you falter in your belief?

The black church used to be the center of our communities. The pastor reigned supreme. He held us together. He would visit our homes for dinner. He would inspire us with his sermons. The church was where we would go to contribute to the community. Remember the bake sales? Nobody could cook like the older black women. The Fool misses that.

Hey. Back in the day a lot of states were "blue states", meaning no liquor on Sundays. We would attend services in the morning, have a big lunch and go back to church in the afternoon. At the time, a lot of the parishioners knew where to get alcohol, which was THE place to go after services. We didn't argue. We didn't have fights and we certainly didn't shoot each other. We enjoyed each others company, as strange a concept as that appears to be in today's reality.

The Fool knows he is dating himself. And your point is...?

Somewhere along the line, the pastor figured out that the money and the glory to be had between sister Annie's thighs outweighed your spiritual well being. Thus the fall of the black community.

And I ask again. Are we still a spiritual people? Personally, The Fool doesn't think so. For one thing you have to remember, Christianity was forced upon us by our ancestor's slave owners. Our normal thinking minds had went on permanent vacation, during the Middle Passage. We were empty vessels waiting to be filled. And boy, were we ever.

The fool would like to know, here in the twenty first century: How do you define spirituality? Is your spirituality associated with any religion or is it a personal relationship with the Divine?
