(Words) I support justice for Trayvon Martin but I don't support the lack of outrage when we do it to ourselves...






If you have noticed, I have been REALLY QUIET about the incident in Florida on the blog. Yeah, I put the Heat pic up (Dope touch by them btw..and hats off to the Florida boy Stoudamire for his hooded look too. He knows all about that area..) but that's about it. I was just watching. I DID SIGN THE PETITION and I have been following though. I DO SUPPORT JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON AND I HOPE HIS FAMILY GETS THE CLOSURE THEY NEED.

What I won't do is act like everything ya'll are out here saying and doing 'in the name of Trayvon Martin is correct..Nope.

Here are some of the things bother me about this WHOLE ISSUE as far as how I see it being handled/discussed/carried forward to folks..:


One is that ya'll are ready and willing to go at least 'entertain' the idea of hurting HIS KILLER but you won't BREATH A WORD ABOUT THOSE THAT HUNT DOWN AND KILL INNOCENT FOLKS (CHILDREN) THAT LIVE AMONGST YOU. That's my issue. I saw his address float by on my TL. That's cool. Ya'll going down there though? Didnd't think so. Oh...I understand, you live among them so that is why you won't say anything. Understand I also know that because you won't do anything about those who you can get access to, you won't be out here doing anything about Trayvon's killer either. Remember, he SHOT SOMEONE and killed them. He is 'not a suspect' so that means he is STILL A LEGAL GUN OWNER. I know ya'll are emotional out here but stop acting like those who aren't saying 'They would kill him..' aren't as passionate as you. You are selling wolf tickets fam. You aren't doing shit. Stop it. You are going to put your hoodie on, march for the next couple of weeks, sign a petition and MAYBE talk about it through the next 'big thing' that happens. That's about it. So stop saying you would or will.. Which leads me to #2...


 I don't see any of the folks who have 'shooters on deck' making any trips down to I-4 (or (I-75 depending on where you are coming from) to 'handle this'. Not that doing so would be 'correct' but yeah... I know that is what some of you are saying about the lack of 'involvement' by the rappers there but I don't know enough about 'what they haven't done' to know if they didn't speak out about it...Clearly, if they put the plans in motion that I am speaking about, THEY CAN'T SAY THAT so I don't expect some declaration in that fashion. I actually do expect it though from those 'regular cats who claim they don't give a fuck about the cops or anything.." I'd like to know where they are... (Don't answer that. I already know..It was a rhetorical question..)

Then there is the fact that some of you....and this really makes me look at you funny, get behind a cause and become TOTALLY BLIND TO ANY OTHER ISSUES AND START CONDONING BEHAVIOR THAT HAS  NOTHING TO DO WTIH WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN THIS CASE... Example: 


"I don't care if he ROBBED AND KILLED HIS MOTHER...Trayvon should not have been touched..." 


Really? Really??? I mean, I know you want to be right and all and maybe this is your first time 'standing up for what is right' and shit but this shit here? This 'slipping in other niggerish shit so when it comes up, there can be a tolerance for it and it can be excused' shit here? No. Cut that shit out. No place for it. Stick to the facts. The facts are that TRAYVON DIDN'T DO ANYTHING and got killed. Don't try to make a case for your 'fucked up cousin' who went on a rampage and shot ten people and then the cops shot him outta this case. Stop that. I see you out there. The two situations have NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER. I've seen a lot of this in the past couple of days. Yes, I know where it is coming from. No, it doesn't make it right. I don't care WHO YOU ARE SAYING. You are wrong. Your 'man and 'em' were not on the side of RIGHT. Trayvon was. The end.


'The Why Didn't Obama Speak Sooner' Contingent: 


I don't know how many times I have to tell you folks who 'claim you know how the government works' how THIS WORKS. He is not YOU. Matter of fact, HE OUT OF ALL PEOPLE WOULD KNOW THAT HE CAN'T TRUST 'WHAT HE IS HEARING ON THE NEWS' CAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE SHIT RIGHT ABOUT WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT HIM.. So while yes, 'information was out there about what was happening', he can't go around making 'uninformed' statements with 3/4ths of the facts at his disposal, where 1/3 of if it speculation like you can. He just can't. He has to find out ALL THE INFORMATION, PROCESS IT, THEN MAKE AN INFORMED AND POLITICALLY CORRECT STATEMENT. He can't go 'off the cuff. Stop acting like he is you. He isn't. Not only that, he can't get 'involved' in EVERY CASE. He just can't. You'd be mad if his ass came in and got involved in your BELOVED neighborhood 'D Boy's Rico case now wouldn't you? Lie to me and say you wouldn't? You'd be on that 'He is over stepping his bounds..Doesn't he have another country to save? and all that other bullshit. I never doubted he was going to speak, as some of you did. He is in a different position than ANY OF US ARE THOUGH and sometimes I truly think you folks don't respect it. What if he misspoke and hit cost him in the Election? Did you ever think about that? I mean YOU DO KNOW THAT THIS IS AN ELECTION YEAR RIGHT? So he speaks and then you niggas come up with this 'He didn't say enough' shit? Wow. 




Define enough. I'll wait. Just like I am STILL WAITING ON THE MAGICAL NUMBER THAT SOMEONE MAKES A GIRL A HO(E) THAT YOU NIGGERS CAN'T SEEM TO COME WITHIN A 1-3 NUMBER RANGE OF.. 


If I may... to quote myself..



"Again...you 'magic pill' ass niggas slay me. @ this imaginary 'enough' that you can't seem to put into SPECIFIC CONTEXT on issues."



Ya'll don't want to get me started on this shit..


 So yeah, count me out of all this 'faux disdain' you folks seem to have. 'Cause next week, WHEN SOMEONE ELSE DIES at the hands of ANOTHER BLACK MAN, you will all be hitting me (and the rest of us) with this bullshit...Out of those same mouths that are saying this week 'Nobody deserves to die...especially like...." Same mouths...


"That's the way the 'game' goes..."


"Life is like that...somebody has to die.." 


"That's what he gets..."


 (Puts Steelers Hoodie back on)









*Am I advocating that? Maybe I am. It isn't right though. Neither is letting killers who WALK AMONG US OF LITTLE CHILDERN either though. I mean if I'm as upset as you folks 'claim' to be, the better question is probably..'Why are you ADVOCATING THAT?" I digress though....

(Video) @Malice757 (The Clipse)..I don't think ya'll are paying attention. "A Prophet Without Honor"

A Prophet Without Honor from Malice of the Clipse on Vimeo.



This clip (pun intended)pretty much sums up ALL THE THINGS I HAVE EVER HEARD, seen or been around about a rapper/entertainer from their...you know what? Just look at the video. I don't even wanna spoil it or do it injustice by explaining it wrong. The 'diss track' at the end by the 'neighborhood locales' though.....This is what some of you niggas out here look like. @ dissing folks. For real.

I have a vested interest in this pic for two reason...Her and the actual caliber and make she is holding. That's all I will say about though...

Dad Finds Naked Boy(s) With Daughter, Pulls Gun, Gets Arrested - Seattle News - The Daily Weekly





If you aren't familiar with the story, you should skip down and read it first and THEN come read what I said. It will make sense then.





I am not one for going at 'other people's children' on the reg. I have said something every once in awhile if it EFFECTS my children or me personally but other than that, I try to let them be. Let the parents handle that. However, in this case, you are in my home. Let me REITERATE. 



MY HOME. Not the streets. Not down at the school. Not at the park. My home. If your parents didn't teach you about running up in other folk's homes UNLESS YOU WERE INVITED BY THE PARENTS THEMSELVES, then they failed you. Sorry. Not saying you can't go into the house if your friend invites you but just know that when you go uninvited by the parents, it is probably not gonna end well. That's how it goes. I remember being at friend's houses..hell my own COUSIN'S HOUSES...and if the man or the woman came home and didn't know folks were coming through, EVERYBODY CAUGHT THE WRATH. Period. Coming home to you having your way 'consensually' with my daughter is no exception. That 'consent' doesn't mean shit to me partna. You are in MY HOUSE. I didn't consent to you doing it in MY HOUSE AND I also happen to be responsible for her well being to boot. So I AM ACTING IN HER BEST INTEREST whether she gave consent or not as she is a CHILD/under my care. If she stole or cut school, GUESS WHO THEY COME LOOKING FOR? Not you...Me! So don't tell me I don't (or can't ) have some control over what she does as I am RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT SHE DOES. Including probably taking care of the child that could result from the two (four of you in this case) having sex. Excuse the fuck outta me for not 'taking it in stride...'. This isn't a movie. An afterschool special. This is real life Jack. It isn't like you are going to do take care of your child...It would be me and on my household.

Now I see folks out here, reminiscing  on their childhood, on when they were a boy or who have boys of their own who are a bit upset by the Father's actions. That's fine. I understand. I was a boy. I was also taught that I enter other folk's homes at my own peril and that if I were to EVER GET CAUGHT WITH SOME ONE'S DAUGHTER shit could ugly. Now clearly, my parents weren't going to let anyone 'kill me' as they stood idly by but they weren't out here saying 'You better not touch my son if he is in your house uninvited by you' either. There is a middle ground. Can't be out here 'shooting at folks for messing with your niece' on one hand and then letting your son off the hook when someone gets upset at him being in their home on the other hand. 

I think the Father showed INCREDIBLE restraint on this one. In hindsight, he probably wouldn't have pulled out his shotty on them but he DID HAVE THE SENSE NOT TO SHOOT ANYONE. Which quite honestly, most Fathers wouldn't have. 

I don't blame him for snapping. I also find it funny that folks think that somehow running back to a man's house who CLEARLY IS IN DISTRESS to 'talk to him about pulling a gun on your son while your son was fucking in his house' is somehow gonna end well.

Like all of the sudden he wasn't thinking 'What if this kid tells his father?" 

Ever stop to think that he may WANT THAT TO HAPPEN? That you may be walking into some shit? 'Cause as a Father, I can tell you THAT I have WELCOMED THE CHANCE TO SPEAK TO SOME PARENTS ABOUT WHATEVER THEIR CHILD HAS DONE. I understand that a parent loves their child. Hence the reason I am upset. I also may be thinking 'What kinda fucking parent does this child have?" though and maybe I REALLY WANT TO BEAT THEIR ASS. Ever think of that? Maybe I don't blame the kid so much which is why I didn't do much to him. Maybe it is YOU  I WANT TO DO BODILY HARM. Folks think like that you know. I know some of you think your 'anger' will override anything (same could be said for the Father truthfully) but going back over there 'to get the Father' might not be the best thing for the situation either. 

Which is why I wasn't too upset about 'the calling of the cops'. I am not a fan of the cops but at some point, if neither party can get things to a amicable place, they may be needed. 


Best case scenario I could see for this though AFTER THE EVENTS TRANSPIRED is for the parents to explain to their children what happened and to ensure NONE OF THE PARTIES INVOLVED EVER GETS INTO A SITUATION LIKE THAT AGAIN. BOYS. PARENTS and especially the Daughter. (Even though something tells me that after this, sneaking boys over will not be happening as either she will leave her abode if she is rebellious enough or she has learned her lesson..)















Dad Finds Naked Boy(s) With Daughter, Pulls Gun, Gets Arrested - Seattle News - The Daily Weekly
Growing up, a girl's dad I knew used to make a point of cleaning his 12-gauge, pump-action Browning shotgun whenever a certain teenage boy came to see his daughter.
It was terrifying.
But not half as terrifying as what these young men apparently went through.

The P-I reports that Timothy Wayne Gooden, a 40-year-old dad from Kent, was charged with assault after he supposedly went way too far with a gun and his fists upon finding his daughter and her boyfriend(s) in a compromising position.
At 1:30 p.m. the day of the incident, Gooden's daughter, her boyfriend and another 16-year-old boy were in the apartment when Gooden arrived. Realizing her father had returned, the girl sent her boyfriend - who'd disrobed previously - and the other youth into a bathroom to hide.
So dad supposedly came home; he knew there were boy(s) in the house, and he eventually found two in the bathroom.
Now Mr. Gooden happens to be the kind of dad who carries a pistol in a holster on his hip--so naturally that came out.
At that point (according to the boys involved), Gooden allegedly pointed the gun at the 16-year-olds and told them, among other things, "I have every right now to blow your brains out!"
He didn't blow the boys' brains out, but he did supposedly beat his daughter repeatedly--as in "50 to 100 times."
About an hour later, Godden supposedly figured out that there was a third boy in the house--his daughter's boyfriend--who was naked as a jaybird, hiding in the bathtub.
"Gooden punched him in the chest and then tried to hit (the teen's) face," Kent Detective Matthew Holmes told the court. "Gooden had the pistol in his hand and told (the teen) to sit on the bed with the others.
"(He) asked if he could put his clothes on and Gooden would not allow him to."
Eventually Gooden's daughter's boyfriend was allowed to leave. And as soon as he got home and told his dad, the cops were called.
Gooden's daughter, however, discounted some of the boys' stories--particularly the part about how he'd pointed the gun at them and beat her profusely.
Whatever the case, prosecutors have charged Gooden with second-degree and fourth-degree assault.
