I Black, You Black, We Blackity-Black-Black-Black, Black

Since I felt forced into that little series on blackness, I'm trying to figure out how to elegantly get out of it (homeopathy!) but post-Trayvon, the stream of stories keep it hittin' - here's where I sit on 'em:

I don't give a fuck about Paula Deen or Riley Cooper because I live in America, and know how we talk, and don't think Americans should be punished for it. You want to reprimand an employee at work, fine. But firing somebody? Fuck you. 

This shit ain't that bad, if it's bad at all.

Everybody knows I don't like Oprah, but right now conservatives are wrongly "playing gotcha" with her because she said millions of blacks were lynched when, by the strict definition of the term, there were merely thousands. I guess it's somewhat to their credit that - even after watching her fall for every NewAge character and concoction ever invented - no one considered the possibility Oprah's uneducated. One of those blacks, like Obama, who's allowed to slide by for whatever quality white's appreciate seeing in them. That's what I see. 

I see a whole lot more, too, but I'm typing with one finger, so fuck it.

I see The Root says Spike Lee compared Tyler Perry's work to Amos n Andy. 

In light of that, I don't think The Root, Spike Lee, or Tyler Perry are worthy of two sentences.

I think a "Dummies" version of the Trayvon Martin trial should be produced, and replayed everywhere, until the Black Muslims are begging George Zimmerman to come home.

Charlie Rangel is a liar, a crook, a troublemaker, and a fool. 

And he's not alone.

And finally, all Don Lemon said is what anybody's grandmother would say. So he's gay, big deal. 

Calling him a "Professional Assassin” seems a bit much,...

 

Black Artists/White Audience: The Big Grey Area

When this whole cult clusterfuck busts wide open - and it will, because it's in the world of politics now, and I'm no longer the only dog in on the hunt - I'm expecting everyone I've discussed it with online (Orac, Ann Althouse, Glenn Reynolds, etc.) to step forward and admit I was there first, so I can be eligible for the Medal of Freedom or some shit. That so many others in the business of spreading information are ignoring the influence of NewAge on current events involving the Left (like they all did with the John Edwards scandal, which also has a deep NewAge component, through Rielle Hunter) all because it's in the realm of religion/spirituality is nothing less than criminal. At the very least, they're allowing others to steal my thunder:

"The latest episode of 'The Boondocks,' the satirical animated TV series that airs on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim slate, takes brutal aim at Perry and his brand, which blends melodrama, raucous comedy and religious themes. Coming under intense ridicule is Perry's portrayal of Madea, the gun-toting, foul-mouthed grandmother at the center of many of his films.

In 'Pause,' an episode written by [creator Aaron] McGruder and executive producer Rodney Barnes that aired Sunday, a thinly disguised version of Perry named Winston Jerome is positioned as a closeted, cross-dressing cult leader whose love of the Christian faith is a mask for his true sexuality. Though the character bears little physical or vocal resemblance to Perry, the reference is obvious to those familiar with Perry's work. The dancing Ma Duke is a clear parody of Madea.

The Jerome character wears a pink sweater, is surrounded by bare-chested muscular men and constantly proclaims his love for Jesus even as he attempts to seduce Granddad ( John Witherspoon), the guardian of the two boys, Huey and Riley Freeman, at the center of the series. The fame-hungry Granddad is trying out for a part in Jerome's new play, 'Ma Duke Finds Herself a Man.'

Near the end of the episode, Jerome bluntly asks Granddad for sex; the old man responds, 'Do you mean to tell me that this whole cross-dressing Christian cult crap is just so you can sleep with men?' 'Uh, pretty much, yeah,' says Jerome.

The episode marks one of the sharpest public criticisms of Perry. Huey Freeman calls the script for 'Ma Duke' 'terrible.' The Perry brand has also been blasted by some critics and entertainers such as Spike Lee, who say Perry's projects perpetuate negative stereotypes, and present a narrow view of African American life.

McGruder and executives for Turner and Adult Swim declined to comment on the episode. Representatives for Perry did not return phone calls."

Anyway, here's a big shout out to Aaron McGruder - a Hip-Hop fan - for also speaking up:

We'll show them yet.

NewAge And Self-Help: Life's Little Man-Poison

Patricia comes to Gavin's office with a giant cake, the kind that strippers pop out of. She makes all of Gavin's co-workers sing 'Happy Birthday,' even though it isn't his birthday. Then out of the cake comes a small, scantily clad gay man, singing 'It's Raining Men.' Patricia -- who, I should point out, is wearing a suit and tie for some reason -- has done this to humiliate her husband. Duly embarrassed, Gavin storms out of the office, pursued by a screeching Patricia, gets in his car, speeds out of the parking lot, smashes into a passing truck, and dies. In the epilogue, a year later, Patricia meets a new, awesome man played by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. The end. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP."

-- Eric D. Snider, reviewing "Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married, Too?" - Perry is Oprah Winfrey's pal, so it figures cancer enters the picture eventually, and Janet Jackson's "Patricia" is not only a self-help author, but one who can do anything she wants to a man, and get rewarded for it - especially if it involves a humiliating gay reference, which Perry must have thought would be just the thing to make it even more crudely feminist (a la Oprah) without the risk of becoming Cinematical.

Oprah, Obama, And Friends: Playing Both Sides Against The Middle To Lie Their Way To Power

"If Obama can hang out with terrorists, socialists, bigots and racists without getting called on it, I doubt whether being friends with Tyler Perry will hurt him."

-- Dan Zee, in a comment on the very "spiritual", religious, and ugly union-busting tactics of Barack Obama and his biggest supporters, in Deadline Hollywood Daily.

The article informs us:

[Tyler Perry] is not the first alleged union buster to be a big Obama supporter. Most of the Hollywood CEOs (except Paramount's Brad Grey who's a McCain donor) and their wives are big fundraisers and campaigners and supporters of Obama's even if their Big Media bosses tend to be avowed Republicans.
