Mirror Mirror On The Wall, Super Head Is The Most Basic Of Them All

First, if you have not read the latest bullshit with Super head here is the link: http://www.catchmebc.com/karrine-steffans-superhead-puts-her-husband-on-blast-on-twitter/

Now that you have read this pure act of coonery, please allow me to offer my sincere condolences to that guy's ego. That poor stupid ass nigga. Son, just for literally wifing up "Super head" you were fucking up bro. When you can google all of your eskimo brothers that is a real problem, or when your ipod is filled with all the dudes your WIFE has smashanged that is a real cause for concern. But, let me get to her.

Andddddd the award for most basic chick of all time goes to....Super head!!! *all the loose vagina lips clap in unison* I realized that she obviously had issues simply based on her nickname and what she is famous for, but I had no idea it was that bad. Honestly, I thought she was just a ho, but these recent events have enlightened me on a whole other level guys. She has disillusioned herself into believing that she deserves a "boss" and that calling out your supposed husband on the internet is the thing to do when you are unhappy with your marriage. She literally puts herself on blast by saying that she is cheating with other dudes, in particular rappers. What has America created??? Is this the product of the "American Dream"?I surely hope not, but I fear that I am naively wrong. I mean we all want to get rich and gain some fame by doing what we want. But here is a rather whorish woman (This is documented and if you don't believe me check out Mr. Marcus Vs. Superhead. I will admit, however, home girl got skills but I digress...) who has gained the attention of the American public and wrote a best selling novel that detailed her sexual exploits. I mean, seriously??? What happened to people who wanted to start companies or find a cure for cancer. I seriously fear for the direction our society is going. Either way, that was very uncool on her part. Groupies these days...SMH.

Dania Ramirez: Yes Please

If you don't like Dania Ramirez, you are doing it wrong. She is best known for her roles in Entourage, The Sopranos, and Heroes. She was born in the Dominican Republic and she is straight up fine (sorry, I know that is a bit off topic but "holy cats and hot dogs batman" she is beautiful) and a very talented actress. I find it very cool that she is that beautiful and also a great actress. God keeps showing off and he does great work. I love her accent and from what I've read she is very nice in person. Thus, I present to you all: Dania Ramirez.

Key and Peele: Chappelle’s Bastard Children?

I think we can all agree that the Chappelle Show was THE SH!T. The jokes in that show were remarkably relevant and ingenious. However, this new sketch comedy show “Key and Peele” is pretty funny, but I have some issues with it. Sequels suck most times (and Key and Peele doesn’t suck but it aint great) and this show has the potential to suck like a drunk chick with daddy issues if things don't change.

First of all, it is WAY too similar to Chappelle Show for me to truly respect it. Although, I realize that big networks like comedy central often use ideas that worked in the past and give them a small spin to try and make the same money twice…it still pisses us off when they try to get over on you. Comedy Central is really pulling an “NBC” with this one. (Yes, I hate NBC) The way the show is presented is the same. The only thing missing is Dave Chappelle’s genius and a musical act at the end. Oh yea, and Charlie Murphy’s black a$$.

Second, I feel like they are running out of jokes already. How is that possible? There has literally been like 5 episodes! They have done sooooo many Obama skits. It’s like watching CNN during black history month. Now, I will admit that they are mildly humorous but seriously…do some new shit. Another thing they continue to do is “black” humor. They are taking quite a few stereotypes and doing sketches about them, which, in principle, I have no problem with. My problem is that they keep doing it. In my opinion, a quality show should do more than just point out stereotypes but it should be able to crossover more.

Finally, who The F$CK are Key and Peele?? They honestly remind me of a black bert and ernie. I know they both came from Madtv but damn man…these are the best ninjas yall could find? Chappelle was a comedic legend and now we are stuck with his disciples who changed some of the material and smoke less weed. I’m not saying they aren’t talented, but if you are going to mimic the Chappelle show you better come with it. These dudes are seriously walking that line from being successfully funny to just corny.

All in all, I’d say the show is a 7/10 for now. But, I’m almost sick of it already and it seems to lack originality and that “WOW” factor. Key and Peele seems like the ABC Family version of the Chappelle show. Time will tell what this show ends up doing but I don’t see it going much further than being what it is: the bastard child of the Chappelle show.

Discussion: The N-Word

Recently, I have noticed that I’ve been having a lot of conversations about the n-word. So I figured I’d weigh in on the subject and give my take. Personally, I am a heavy n-word user. I use it for EVERYTHING; not just my black friends. If you are around me for more than initial meeting then there is about a 98% chance I’m going to call you a nigga at some point in time. That’s life when I’m around, deal with it. I’m not saying it’s right but it is the truth. I happen to love the way it rolls off my tongue and seems to fit just about every situation I’ve been confronted with. But, that is neither here nor there.

Now, we all know that “nigger” is where the word “nigga” came from. “Nigger” is what white people often called black people in an effort to degrade black people. But, what amazes me is that black people simply cut off the “er” and added an “a” and it was suddenly a term of endearment. This is where most people get upset. Many black people, and other races alike, either can’t or won’t separate the two words, but in all honesty that really doesn’t matter because the word is out there to stay. Anybody with common sense knows that the word nigga is not going anywhere anytime soon. It’s all over pop culture and it has infected the speech patterns of a large number of black people and other races too. Especially the people I like to call “almost niggas.” An “almost nigga” is a person who grew up around black people and feels that he/she is black as a result, which is false. To to all you almost niggas our there: STOP THAT, you are not black because of the way act. That has no basis with your nationality.

Let's speak about the actual use of the n-word: I think it is all about context. For obvious reasons not too many people really care when a black person calls another black person a nigga. Generally, people don’t think much about it as long as it originates from a black person. BUT, as soon as somebody from another race uses it there will be an issue. Im not saying it’s right that they are using it but I can’t blame them as long as they don’t mean it in a racist way. For example, if I was a white guy (which according to a lot people I am) I would want to say the word. THAT SH!T IS CATCHY!! I can honestly say that after objectively thinking about why I use the n-word the only reason I can come up with is that I hear it all the time in music, around my friends and it's kinda fun to say. So whenever a person of another race listens to music or hangs around black people often or just slips and uses the word I don’t really trip. Here’s why: I don’t consider myself a “nigga.” I am a black male. So when they use the word I don’t care because they aren’t talking about me. NONE of us are niggas. We are black people and more accurately we are AMERICANS. The only reason a person should get mad is if they consider themselves a “nigga”…which I hope none of you do. And if you think its okay to consider yourself a nigga: You are doing it wrong. And if an actual racist person calls you the n-word for real, kindly tell them: “aye cuz, FOCK YOU” and walk away. That sh!t isnt worth fighting about it. Ignorant people will be ignorant people. Enough said.

So, is it right or wrong to use the n-word? Personally, I think it is a matter of taste and the context. I don’t think there is an answer to that question and it doesn’t matter. As long as pop culture and black people are around (and no, genocide doesn’t solve anything) the word is going to be around. So, stop being so sensitive. As a black person I feel that we should realize that our heritage is way too strong and too inspiring to trip off of one word. It does not encompass who we are and it never did. Now, you don’t have to agree with my opinion but it’s my opinion. That’s the point.

Am I Black Enough For You?

First, allow me to say...I'm Back. B*tch. Now that I have gotten that out of my system let me get to the point. There have been a lot of situations in my life that people have identified me as not very "black." Many have done this by calling me an "oreo," or the bolder offenders got right down to brass tacks and called me a "fag." To those people: F$CK YOU. Now, I will admit that stereotypically, I am not very black. Am I from the hood? NOPE. Do I speak proper english? YUP. Do I enjoy Waka Flocka or Gucci Man's music? F*CK NAW. Are my parents still together? YUP. Have I been convicted of a crime? NOPE. Hell, I don't even like fried seafood or ribs. But damn, I love big booties and watermelon. Either way, you get the point.

For years, I did everything in my power to seem more black in the eyes of people I thought mattered. I tried talking differently, dressing differently, dating a different kind of girl (well...let's be honest. These were not girls, they were "rats." Actually, an even more accurate classification would be to say they were "mice" due to my age. But once again I digress...), associating with a different crowd, and even dumbing things down so my "niggas" could relate to me more. But, no matter how hard I tried, something wasn't right. All those things I did never had any profound effect on my "black meter." So, all the way through high school and even now I play the "white guy with black skin role." However, I realized something recently...I don't give a flying f*ck what y'all consider black. B*tch I'm me and I'm black as hell.

Being "black" has nothing to do with how you dress, speak, your economic status, or even the things you like to eat. Being black has everything to do with your heritage and what it represents. Being black can mean so many different things to so many people. So, why do we limit it? But, I'll answer the question, "Am I Black Enough For You?" Probably not. First of all, I'm brown (sexual chocolate to be exact...sorry fellas) Secondly, I'm not living my life for anyone but Christ and myself so whether I'm black enough for those that say otherwise is irrelevant. Finally, I like me. I used to really dislike myself for being different. Now, I think its my favorite part of me. I highly doubt I'll ever be considered black enough for the majority of people I encounter. Regardless, we are all individuals and we should embrace our differences and similarities.
