Black Like Me!



Soo this book has been interesting.  The white guy involved in the experiment definitely came across as sincere and open minded and without prejudice.  The book covered interesting points about how the prejudice blacks experienced was not limited to black and white Jim Crow segregation of facilities, but even as Black would function within their rights they were commonly harassed and provoked without cause or reason.  I was pleased that John griffin reported these nasty outbursts and attacks by whites with honesty.  he reports that a ticket window lady lies and tells him she can't break his ten was extremely nasty and eventually changed his bill and threw his change at him and it all landed on the floor.  SMDH  good for him for telling it like it was.  He also put on blasts the extreme perversions whites had and how they would target blacks to sexually abuse and had a fetish for blacks.  he reports that while hitchhiking every white man that picked him up asked him inappropriate sexual questions and allll of them admitted to sleeping with black women. Most of the white men he spoke with asked him to expose himself to them <_> typical American white swag smdh. tsk tsk he also noted a bus driver that was cruel and wouldn't allow the blacks off of the bus at a rest stop for no reason.  these things are all terrible.  John Griffin did a great job dispelling the great American lie of Separate but equal and that Blacks were happy where they were and that whites and blacks functioned better that way and without hostility. This book noted plenty of instances of arbitrary cruelty that was dished out daily to any and all black faces.  I was just really impressed with his honesty at portraying White ignorance toward the segregation issue and White bias and unwarranted hatred and hostility towards blacks as a whole.  I recommend it, it was a good read.  Also Dick gregory was mentioned in here lmafoo Dick Gregory!!!! is a riot! Him and Paul Mooney were connected to everything we know from the sixties lmaooo!

Egypt


And I  aint talkin bout Alicia's baby no noo!... i'm considering going to Egypt this summer but I'm not sure yet. It would be a trip with a group of African oriented Yoga and healthy healing type guru peeps they seem cool enough but you always have more fun if you go with ppl you know especially ppl you usually travel with because they will be your speed, you know what to expect, and you know you will have a blast no matter what.  Also everyone is like you better do research before you go there because they are having security issues and they just bombed an embassy over there.  Which is tru and then there is always the Burka issue not sure if i will have to wear it, I damn sure am not feeling having to wear that!  We shall see its just a brainstorm,  I'm fine either way *shrugz*  *things to consider* #ilikemyworries

Coat in the Cleaners

Rodriguez Sugarman!


So Ive seen this mind blowing documentary called Searching for Sugarman about this "failed" Detroit genius artist who was more popular than Elvis in South Africa but had no idea.  he never made any money of his record sales in South Africa and then he finds out he is this huge celebrity there and everyone thinks he is dead -__-.  he becomes extremely famous via the documentary and first tours in South Africa and then goes on a world tour which I will be buying tickets to.  This guy was living as a poor person in Detroit doing hard labour and now he is selling out world tours o_o I guess never lose your hope!  Seriously though his lyrics are amazing i bought both his albums and the documentary sound track... -_- which incidentally has the same songs as the first two albums but I was eager to support so I bought it anyway!!  VIVA SUGARMAN!!!
