Slap-Boxing With Jesus

Dog Fighting vs. Dove Hunting

With Michael Vick’s plea today, effectively ending his spectacular fall from grace, Mighty Casey hit me up to share his thoughts. And in my never-ending quest to change the world, I completely forgot about the racially charged situation of the Jena 6. If you haven’t hit up J. Burnett’s blog and done something about it, click the link below, sign the petition (which I did last week) and help stop the bullshit. Hip-Hop has more power than you think...

I know in previous blogs I’ve criticized our young Hip-hop generation and put us partially to blame for a lot of the media scrutiny we endure. I’ve never denied that the government is much worse than the state of hip-hop regardless of the crack selling coonery that masquerades itself as hip-hop, any negative influence it has on the country is minimal compared to the Iraq war and Bushes other policies that have incarcerated, undereducated and generally oppressed. This is not to justify hip-hop’s behavior I remember at time when Hip-hop would criticize the violence, materialism, and arrogance of the government rather than emulate it. Rappers like 50 Cent and TI have pointed their finger at the government when confronted on the negativity of their lyrics just as Don Imus pointed the finger at hip-hop when confronted on the negativity of his comments. Given the number of high profile young black males in the spotlight for negative activity, Michael Vick, Pacman Jones, Barry Bonds, every other rapper.  One might think that White House Boy genius Karl Rove has used his power over the media to use young big scary looking black guys as scapegoats to distract the American public, never mind the millions dying in Iraq, black males in the USA are taking steroids, fighting dogs and we have good information from British intelligence that they are…making it rain.

    Which brings me to Bushes brain Mr. Rove himself. While still controlling the Republican Party he has unfortunately retired from the Bush administration. Up 1st on his agenda after leaving office, apologizing for the war? Nope dedicating life to public service? Nope. Dove Hunting. Not a misprint. Those innocent white birds that are meant to be a symbol for peace, the bird Noah sent off the ark to find land, the bird Ozzy Osbourne bid the head off, Karl Rove kills them for fun. Ironically enough the same day that it was revealed the MC Rove enjoys smoking nice white doves for his enjoyment Michael Vick was indicted for dog fighting. While Michael Vick has caused a media maelstrom with his tangential association to dog fighting, Karl Rove is free to kill little innocent peace loving Doves without even a murmur from the media. Never mind the irony and symbolism of the architect for the Iraq war killing the international symbol of peace for fun, like a James Bond villain, how can Karl Rove get away with killing innocent animals with a gun, while Vick can’t enjoy two dogs who would fight regardless maul each other. Maybe because of the strong history of manly American men killing animals like Bambi’s mother. Then again how manly is it to kill a Dove? If Rove really wants to be manly he should try and hunt Vicks pitbulls. That would put a little pressure on him to actually hit them 1st cuz if you miss when you shoot a pitbull your pretty ass out. Maybe if Rove wanted to hunt and feel manly he should do NYC a service and hunt all the rats in the subway, no one likes rats I’m sure PETA wouldn’t even fuck with him. Speaking of PETA how come they aren’t picketing outside Karl Rove’s house? Its cool to kill doves but watching dogs fight oh god no. Its amazes me that people actually protested Michael Vick as if humans aren’t dying for no reason everyday and not even entertaining anyone. Where do they cross the line will they picket outside my house cuz I stomped a roach or 2 (or 3 or 4), will they subpoena my computer because I YouTubed "lion attacks" a couple times.

 If we can watch humans beat each other into a bloody pulp on UFC and the occasional good boxing match, why can’t we watch pitbulls fight? Its not like they wouldn’t be fighting if we weren’t there. Maybe if we’d allowed more pitbulls to fight each other, they wouldn’t be out killing 2-year-old girls and Ving Rhames' gardener.  Its funny how the media tries to play pitbulls as a black, hip-hop thing. I’m sure pitbulls were originally bred by white people to keep black people off their property, now that black people have them they want to take away our fun. The fact that Vick allegedly bred pitbulls is no worse than the rich white people who breed poodles, and all sorts of other weird looking dogs for their personal decorations. Maybe it’s the warrior in me but if I were a dog, I’d rather die fighting living as one of Michael Vick’s pits, than suffer the humiliation of living as Paris Hilton’s little decorative poodles.

If the media would scrutinize the government the same way they scrutinize young black males (both in sports and music) maybe they might’ve been able to stop this shitstorm of a policy we call the Iraq wars. Maybe assholes like George Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove would actually have to face some accountability, if the media as Barry Bonds, Michael Vick and Snoop Dog as closely covered them. , Maybe the American public would realize what evil, dishonest greedy dove killers these so called freedom loving Christians actually are. Where mainstream media outlets like Fox news have made it their niche to criticize black athletes and rappers, their corporate funded blind eye to the various Bush administration scandals, like Katrina, Abu Ghraib, Valerie Plame, shows a high level of media hypocrisy. I think in order for us to progress, people who know about Hip-hop and are a part of the Hip-hop community should be criticizing what’s wrong with amongst ourselves, and the media which is supposed to enlighten people to what’s going on in the world, should be letting the world know what’s going on specifically what assholes our leaders are and how they fucked up the world, and leave Lil Wayne and Michael Vick to Hip Hop DX and ESPN. I know a lot of the white house scandals aren’t as simple as Hip-hop’s drug, guns and sex crimes (nice), I think we have one now these motherfuckers kill DOVES people DOVES. You can’t get anymore clear-cut than that; these people kill peace-loving animals for enjoyment.
