Words Only Usable By Brothers and Sisters in The Hood Part II

Since the Imus episode we still have the double standard of a language that's ok when used by one group of people and yet called and considered racist when used by another.

This time it's a harmless cartoon being objected to by the so called black leaders who only come out to play when racism charges can be leveled against somebody or another. The strange thing here is that the cartoon uses language and symbols that are routinely bandied about by rappers and the black community at large in their advertising and main stream communication. Yet when uttered by a white man or woman the words take on some mystical magical BS meaning of racism.

Again my advice to that community is this; if you wish these so called hurtful words and colorful terminology to not be used in society's quarters than stop using them daily so we don't have to hear this demeaning crap either on our televisions and radio's and in our magazines. Otherwise just STFU and figure out what your leaders are going to do about all the senseless killing taking place and the destruction of the family unit within your communities, instead of worrying all the time about what whitey and the cracker honkies can and cannot say and draw. Deal?

Black Leaders Demand Apology For Editorial Cartoon

Local News Story - WKMG Orlando: "An editorial cartoon in last Friday's Florida Times-Union depicting a gunman wearing a T-shirt saying 'Don't Snitch' continues to draw criticism, with some black leaders calling for an apology, the firing of the cartoonist and other demands, according to a WJXT-TV report in Jacksonville. Two young children drawn in the cartoon say 'I didn't see nuttin'!' Then the gunman says, 'Now that's a good little ho! In a letter sent to all Jacksonville television stations as well as the newspaper, the Jacksonville Leadership Coalition called the cartoon 'racist, culturally insensitive and degrading to African-American women.'"

The letter quotes the Rev. Rudolph McKissick Jr., who described the cartoon as "insensitive to African American women, children and the community."In Sunday's Times-Union, editorial page editor Mike Clark said that while he reviewed and approved the cartoon, he admits that "Using the word 'ho' was bad judgment, and I regret that I did not edit it out." continued

Again, how is this insensitive to the community when they are the ones portraying themselves as the caricature depicts? They are the ones wearing the don't snitch t-shirts with the rap lyrics using the terminology depicted while preaching a thug life Tupac culture in everything they produce?

Who's fault is this, is it the white man making them do these things? I'm afraid not. This is the way they've chosen to make a living, by selling their souls and denigrating and contaminating their own communities children and culture, they are the ones to blame for this image, and only them.

Look at the thug image portrayed in the NBA today by all it's black players, the out of control tatoos, rap culture pervasiveness glorifying the very things they are trying to pawn off on the white man in this instance.
