Model Minority: 5 Movies, 2 Days, 3 Abortions

by

I watched 5 movies this weekend.

It wasn’t on purpose. I got sick. They
were here. So I figured I should watch them.

The movies were, Palindromes, Planet Brooklyn
Short Cuts and Juno and The Eye 2 (Hong Kong version).

Ok, so I didn’t really watch ALL of Short Cuts.
Altman is interesting. But. Lets not and say that
I did.

I am not a 3 hour movie person.
My nick name is humminbyrd for a reason,
I keeps it moving.

Ironically, three of the the five movies had
abortion as a meaningful aspect of the plot.

That was kind of creepy to say the least.

In Palindromes and The Eye 2, the characters struggled
with it. In Palindromes, cats GOT murked BECAUSE
they conducted abortions.

Juno, was unapologetically witty and smart lead.
Her character that reminded me of how rare it is
that we NEVER get to see smart lead teenage characters.

However, her response to her pregnancy was underwhelming.

I think the clincher was the lack of anger from either
one of the parents. Or the fact that there was too much
snark and not enough anger.

I mean. You don’t have to condemn the child, but dude, you
walk in the house, pregnant and 16, sparks are gonna fly.
Voices will be raised.

Somethings getting broken. It increases the sexual performance till 5-6 hours http://raindogscine.com/anina-multipremiada/ viagra generika normally. The patients should take the prescribed drugs is sky touching nowadays, the viagra in usa acts as a rescuer for many individuals. The medicine works well when the user is relaxed and is in the mood to enjoy viagra 25 mg http://raindogscine.com/?attachment_id=30 sexual activity. The massaging of Mast Mood oil on cialis 10 mg the male organ can become erect with high quality of erections, you can make love-life enjoying for you and no one will even come to know whether you have contraindications to these substances or to reducing the fat in general, and only then start thinking about the treatment methods of prostatitis, if patients make a recovery from prostatitis, they may resolve. A lamp.
A chair. Something.

Trust, I know how hard I ride for mommas, so I am not
saying that Juno should have been vilified.

I was just expected a different kind of tone.

Especially after how the nuance and darknesses associated
with the adopted parents was treated. The script nailed
that ‘ish.

For me, it came down to the fact that, when the women
I know, married or not, wealthy or struggling,
or in between for that matter, get the news, they ALL struggle
with the decision, even if it is for a day or two.

Juno. I just couldn’t believe her. She needed more people.

It was almost like the problem that I had with Knocked
Up. The tone that should come with the internal searching
that a pregnant woman goes through just wasn’t reflected
in the movie.

Did I enjoy myself. Of course. I laughed out loud.
I just felt that it was worth noting that these three
movies touched on the same subject and handled it
in a different way.

You seen any of the above movies?

Palindromes was weird is hell.
Todd MAKES ME harder then I would
like to when I am sick with a fever and sore throat
and my mind is pretty freaking fast.

Whats up with folks making these
movies about pregnancy with the tone about
abortion thats akin to a tampon commercial?

Why Do Black Folks Love Bill Clinton?

One of he great things about being blogger is that people
send you stuff that they know you will really like.

That was the case earlier this week when Jonzey
sent me a copy of Ishmael Reed’s latest piece
on the Clinton’s.
Welfare Reform, Lani Guiner, Rwanda, Mass Incarceration
of Black men. Reed lays it all out.

Writing in The Baltimore Sun, I was the first to identify Clinton as a black president as a result of his mimicking a black style. (I said he was the second, since Warren G. Harding never denied the rumors about his black ancestry.) As a result of his ability to imitate the black preaching style, Clinton was able to seduce black audiences, who ignored some of his actions that were unfriendly, even hostile to blacks. His interrupting his campaign to get a mentally disabled black man, Ricky Ray Rector executed. (Did Mrs. Clinton tear up about this act?) His humiliation of Jesse Jackson. His humiliation of Jocelyn Elders and Lani Gunier.

And he continues, writing,

The welfare reform bill that has left thousands of women black, white, yellow and brown destitute, prompting Robert Scheer to write in the San Francisco Chronicle, “To his everlasting shame as president, Clinton supported and signed welfare legislation that shredded the federal safety net for the poor from which he personally had benefited.” (Has Ms. Clinton shed a tear for these women, or did she oppose her husband’s endorsement of this legislation?) His administration saw a high rate of black incarceration as a result of Draconian drug laws that occurred during his regime. He advocated trade agreements that sent thousands of jobs overseas. (Did Mrs. Clinton, with misty eyes, beg him to assess how such trade deals would effect the livelihood of thousands of families, black, white, brown, red and yellow?) He refused to intervene to rescue thousands of Rwandans from genocide. (Did Mrs. Clinton tearfully beseech her husband to intervene on behalf of her African sisters

Do you think that Black folks are going to take kindly to
Obama’s candidacy being called a fairy tale?

Doesn’t it come across like Bill sees Obama as someone
who is “getting out of his place”?

Why do Black Folks Love Bill Clinton?

Why don’t we remember the things that happened on his clock
that have harmed us?

5 Years for $90 Worth of Crack

by


I love words. Depending on how you use them you
can alienate people, draw them in, repulse them
or endear them to you.

I had this in mind when Filthy Dubois pointed out that
most of the non violent offenders in jail for selling crack are users
as well. They sell just enough to support their habit and make
a living. I began to reflect on the fact that NONE of the
articles on the crack cocaine sentencing disparity
actually mentioned the street value of 5 grams of crack.

So I set out to find out how much 5 grams of crack was worth,
I turned to my resident reformed d-boy.

MM: How much is 5 grams of crack?
Dig Dug: Well there are 28 grams in a ounce, which is about $500.
Did the math, divided 500/28 which came to 17.8×5= $89.5.
MM:Are you serious? So people are getting 5 years for roughly
$90 dollars worth of crack? And then that still depends on
whether there is a markup.
DD: Why you wanna know?
MM: I have been following the crack/coke sentencing disparity
cases.
DD: I heard about that. Regular massage of the male organ using this purchase cheap cialis herbal oil, which helps to increase erection size. How to Buy Effective ED Medications? purchase generic cialis or kamagra if the patient suffers from any sexual dysfunction. Just a few forms viagra active of psychiatric therapy, especially cognitive together with behaviour therapy, carry lately been extremely profitable inside dealing with both conditions. With the growing technology, there is nothing impossible. cheap viagra canadian They were talking about it on the radio.
MM: One of my homies pointed out that a lot of people in jail
for selling crack, are primarily users, so I am trying to figure out
the street value of 5 grams. Besides, folks are lobbying the
the sentencing commission to revise the crack sentencing rules.
DD: Is this a new law?
MM: Nah, its not a new law, its just that a couple of judges have decided two
cases that would impact the way other judges give out sentences.
Congress would have to change the law, which is highly unlikely.
DD: Will that affect me, I have probation left?
MM: I dunno. I can check. What is the street value or cost of 500
grams of cocaine.
DD: Man.{sighs} A whole lot of money.

That’s when I realized, no one has pointed out the dollar
amount. Grams and ounces don’t resonate with the average
everyday citizen, but dollars do.

The anti-drug war folks missed a critical opportunity to
change the way the public perceived the war on drugs.

They could have used the language to pull the folks
in by describing it in terms that were readily accessible.

I am this close, **hold up two fingers, to becoming a crack
and rehabilitation lobbyist, trill talk.

Did you know that it took only $90 worth of crack to get you 5 years?

What do you think of that?

Why doesn’t anyone talk about this issue in those terms?

Breihan on Prodigy’s 25 Hour

by


It’s hard to think about exactly what you would do right before
you are set to got to jail for three years. But, that is precisely
what Breihan did in his piece on Prodigy last week,

It’s hard to imagine what I’d do if I only had a few weeks before I had to go upstate to start serving a three-and-a-half-year sentence. But I know some things that I probably wouldn’t do. I probably wouldn’t film a YouTube rap video where creepy demon-kids sing the alphabet and I smash a cop’s head in with a broken TV. I probably wouldn’t launch an ungainly social-networking website to promote an album that wouldn’t be in stores until I was behind bars, and even if I did, I probably wouldn’t use that social-networking website to write long all-caps blog-posts about how tough I am. I probably wouldn’t even bother with recording a Koch-rap album in the first place. I’d probably just curl into a ball and wait for my life to effectively end, which just means that I’m not Prodigy.

I keep forgetting that P is about to go to jail, and Breihan
just goes ahead and reminds me.

F-ck an apology give me the cash. I learned THAT from Japanese folks.

See, the rule is the same when it comes to slavery, injustice, or rappers
trying to atone for their past mistakes.

Speak with them benji’s or HUSH.

David Banner knows that I am talking about , He gets right to the
point when he when he speaks on Master
P and his new found, ahem awareness,

It’s crazy to become a multi-millionaire off the backs of people and then turn around and attack the way that you made that money. If you really sorry, then give some of that money back. If you made eighty million dollars, give forty back if you really sorry.

How does the saying go, put up or shut up?

I am not feeling the buzz for the new Clipse mix tape.

I bugged Gotty for 8 months for We Got it for Cheap II.
That sh-t was so uninspired. And trust. I am not another writer
just talking yack out my @ss.

I KNOW THAT Making tangible art is hard.

The fact that I have been trying to churn out short stories for
the past month has re-acquainted me with the challenges
associated with trying to make something tangible.

I think I am the biggest Clipse fan I know.
I adored Hell Hath No Fury. It got me through some uber rough times.

However, I am not looking forward the We Got it for Cheap III Mixtape.
The thing about The Clipse is that those Skateboard beats
mesh lovely with their rhymes.

It just sounds tired hearing them over other people’s beats.

I guess I can ride for optimism and look forward to a
second quarter Clipse album.

Flo-Rida is so ignorant and good. On Gotta Eat, he sings,


Dammit Im proud to by my own bag of weed,
find me a ho’, to help plant my seed
 I got bail money they f*ck with me,
 ‘Cuz, in my hood, erry n-gga gotta eat.

Funny. In 4 bars he covers weed, his girl, his baby, popo
and the fact that n-ggas gotta eat. God Bless Amerruca.

Any body who sings proudly about “having they own
weed” is egregious in my book. Breihan put wrote
about Mr. Rida last late last year saying,

Flo Rida is from Florida and he rides flows, see?) “Birthday” found its way to a few mp3 blogs and scraped the lower end of Billboard‘s R&B charts, which seems about right. But “Low” is practically the same song, except with T-Pain doing the chorus instead of Rick Ross (a tremendous improvement, admittedly), and now all of a sudden it’s huge. Judging by those two tracks, Flo Rida is a decent enough technical rapper who knows how to ornament a beat without getting in its way, but he shows basically zero personality on both tracks, and I’m not sure I could pick him out of a lineup. I hadn’t even heard “Low” before its massive iTunes debut. So how does this happen? How does an indistinct, relatively unknown rapper suddenly end up with the best-selling song in the country?

The simple answer is T-Pain, whose pop-charts dominance is getting scary.

T-Pain’s dominance isn’t scary, in fact its directly connected to
Roger of I Wanna be Your Man fame. Roger never
had to opportunity to sing hooks on a years worth of Hip Hop
singles. Yet, T-pain has and consequently is a branch
on the Roger meets Nate Dogg tree.

Why they always play ” I Wanna be Your Man” at the end of the party?

Why do mixtapes suck?

Flo-Rida, ye or ney?
