The Reality From out West

The dynamic du-no Pt. 1


October 19, 2007 | Tags: oprah, bullshit, Cosby

Let me let ya’ll in on a little secret about me, I hate old people. Due to the fact they can’t do anything else, old people tend to talk a lot. I have no problem keeping up conversations, however, when old people tend to find themselves talking about shit they know nothing about. You’d figure after 70+ years your old ass could find something to talk about other than hip hop, cuz you know you don’t know shit about it. Anywayz, yesterday when reading Ms. Bassa’s blog, I noticed she knew that two people I’d like to smack the shit out of found themselves in the same place two days ago. Had I been in Chicago I could have pulled one of those big TI (and that goes for either TI or T.I.’s) pieces out of the bag and put both of them out of their misery. I would have read through her comments to see if anybody mentioned it, but I didn’t feel like going through 40+ comments saying “White girl we gonna say nigga all we want…nigga” (I got something to say about that too. I’ll put that up later), so I figured I’d do my own blog about it (like I was going to, but I was so confused after liking the BET Hip Hop Awards). I took some notes on what I seen on that show (nigga u ain’t in school, yea, I know), and now allow me to vent.



                So Bill has Cosby done a lot of bullshit speeches, about…niggas. That’s basically what he would like to say. The almighty Dr. Cosby is calling out the poor black people for lack of parenting. The Poor blacks aren’t parenting, that’s why their kids are fucked up. Does this explain why his daughter Erinn was doped up? No, it doesn’t, but oh well…I guess the “non-poor” black people fuck up too. At least that’s what Autumn Jackson thinks. Oh well, on with the show.



“it’s a domino effect, I sell you drugs women, you use them, you sell yourself for money to get more drugs, you get AIDS, then, your child, has AIDS also”
-Bill Cosby On Oprah



                He didn’t go into how this domino effect effects parenting, but I guess that’s obvious. He forgot a couple of steps that come before he sells the women drugs. If by drugs, we mean shit other than weed…that shit doesn’t grow here. We can keep terrorists out now (allegedly) and Cuban cigars, but we can’t keep drugs and illegal immigrants out…WTF? I don’t know. I mean, why can’t we keep drugs and illegal immigrants out, why those two things? Could it be because the rich people of America are somehow profiting off both of those? Bingo. While people can choose to just leave drugs alone…just say no kids, it’s oh so easy, let me go on first, I’ll come back to that.



“The woman was asked, “Why’d you play this role” she said “You want me playing this role, or in the alley having sex for drugs” There are other jobs out there, you (Oprah) obviously have found one. (Crowd applause)



                While I have gotten on Morgan Freeman for playing the background to white people frequently (always damn near) it’s because we know he can act, we know he’s talented. Others…not so much. You don’t see me getting on Brian Hooks for playing the roles he plays…that’s because I know he’s not on the short list of people who could play Huey P in the Spike Lee directed flick. (What’s taking Spike so long…WE NEED YOU)  Of course, there ARE other jobs then acting and prostitution, there just hard as hell to get. While my typing speed of 70 WPM and my high test scores with Word and Excel have struggled to get me a decent job, I can imagine what it’s like for someone who can’t type, and don’t know shit about Word and Excel. So, for someone fresh out of high school with no office experience, no one over them telling them go to college, and no office skills, Wal-mart seems like the spot. Wal-mart doesn’t pay bills in any neighborhood other than one near a Martin Luther King Blvd. That shit’s not that appealing or safe. So, why didn’t anybody tell this kid about college? Where are the parents? I don’t know, maybe, just maybe, their parents were some of the people who got strung out on crack in the 80’s & 90’s, and are now dead, in jail, or just fucked up in the head. Oh…but Dr. Cosby says leave the drugs alone…it’s too fucking late for them. See, I don’t disagree with Cosby 100%, the problem with his logic is, he has to realize, for some…for a lot…it’s too late. You can’t tell the parents of the kids under me, that they need to get their shit together…people are lost. It’s too late. If you want to help, you have to find a way to reach out to the kids, EARLY. You have to get somebody to speak to these kids EARLY and stay on them as they grow in the schools, you can’t sit up on some stage at some college and talk shit about their parents. I got peoples who are 3 generations deep into gang banging, drug selling, and other ignorant shit, please believe their parents don’t give a fuck about what Bill Cosby has to say. To affect people coming up in situations like this, you have to skip past the parents and put the knowledge in the hands of the kids at an early age, cuz if I know people fucked up like this in a city like Long Beach (which has it’s bad parts, but is nowhere near a city like Los Angeles, or Chicago), it’s most likely a lot worse in other areas.



What happened to us since Brown VS the Board of Education?
“People fell into decadence because of the media and gangster rap”
Mr. Poussant Co-author of Bill Cosby’s new book “Come on people, Victims to Victors”



                It’s funny, people tell us that we need to stop blaming white people for our problems, then, they blame gangster rap and the media. First of all, gangster rap exists because gangsters exist. Had it not been for people in the hood of Compton, Eazy and Dre never would have created NWA. Blaming gangster rap for the problems of the hood is THE worst excuse EVER! While I’m not one to blame white people for the problems of the hood, I will put partial blame on certain people who just happen to be white. So, while I won’t put blame on Eminem, Amanda Bassa, or Peyton Manning, I will put some blame on Reagan, Lyndon Johnson, and Bush Vol. 1. Disagree if you like, but it wasn’t Ice-T that had people giving cocaine to Rick Ross an amazingly low prices! Therefore, the blaming of gangster rap is a cop out, and especially weak for people who are saying don’t blame the man. One of many contradictions I noticed on this show.



“70% of black kids are born to single mothers. Many young males don’t have fathers, so they don’t know how to be fathers”



                That’s an alarming stat right there…if you believe stats. See, the problem with this statistic is, how they hell did they find it. I was raised in 3 different households, one with my mother, one with my sister, and one with my dad and his girlfriend…when did they take this stat for me? Another problem with this stat is that single mother households aren’t only a black problem…it’s a poor people problem. What percentage of the black population are considered to be low-income or lower middle class income as opposed to whites? I’m pretty sure those stats are damn near aligned with the percentage of single mother households. That goes for every race. You can manipulate stats all day if you want. They also said there is a 50% drop out rate for blacks in some urban cities. In some cities, really? Really, I’m sure I can find a 50% percent dropout rate for whites in some rural cities…does that mean whites aren’t graduating from high school. These are POOR people problems. Poor people of all races are dropping out of high school.



                I’m only half way through this shit, so I’m gonna cut it here, and drop something else later. I’ll come back to this next Monday. I got a WHOLE lot more to say about the dynamic Du-no.
