Hip Hop Caucus

May 26th, 2009

That title isn’t an effort on my part to be racially divisive regarding the Obama administration. No, such a thing actually exists. Their logo is blood spattered, to mimic a gunshot wound, which is wholly appropriate.

Anyone who hasn’t gone to great effort to purge the memory from their mind may remember hip hop “star” Ludacris (so spelled in order to keep urban populations as illiterate as possible) bringing out a “song” during the Obama campaign telling America to paint the White House black. Ludacris and other rappers are part of this so-called Hip Hop Caucus, founded in 2004, whose mission statement claims:

The mission of the Hip Hop Caucus is to work towards ending urban poverty for the next generation. We organize young people in urban communities to be active in elections, policymaking, and service projects. Our priority issues are Urban Poverty, Urban Planning, Climate Change, Healthcare, Public Education, and Criminal Justice.

They also state: Our work re-shapes how young people of color are viewed by the media, elected officials, and the public.

On that point I would say all of hip hop have been very successful in taking an already marginalized community and turning them into an organized band of thugs. Excellent work!

They are not a caucus that is officially affiliated with government, but they are a lobby group with not inconsiderable influence. For example:

The US rap star T.I., who has worked with a political lobbying group with growing influence in Washington, is to serve less than a year in jail after being convicted of illegal possession of machine guns.

This should not come as a surprise to anyone. The courts know which way the wind blows in an Obamanation. Take one criminally affiliated black man, install him in the highest office in the land via the illegal methods of ACORN and a willing liberal media. Surround him with tax cheats who have never faced a day in court for their crimes. Praise him for his integrity. And watch the country sink deeper and deeper into the mire.

Word.

Solid Gold Grief

January 5th, 2008

Good God. I happened to catch this on the evening news, and my jaw hung open. I buried both my parents before I turned 19, and to neither funeral did I show up in gold lame.

Ok, so there’s a cultural thing going on here for sure. But I can’t think of any culture where gold lame or giant knock-off label-whore sunglasses are appropriate at a funeral. Some cultures throw the wives on their husband’s pyre, some people dance or drink. But showing up looking like a goddam whore is inappropriate everywhere.

The dead woman, Diane Anderson, had a whole bunch of babies by a whole bunch of different men. Looks like she and her sister (Sophia of the sunglasses) made an excellent impression on daughter Ieisha. Watch the video.

UPDATED WITH PHOTO:

Does this look like any funeral you’ve seen, excepting when some thug gang-banging rapper gets his just desserts on the streets of Southern Los Angeles? How long before it’s Ieisha’s funeral, or that of some baby-daddy she hooks up with? Is this how kids are being raised in North Toronto? Enough with multiculturalism - time to call in child services.
