Y’all already know that I am THE number one supporter of the Black community.
I believe that we can do anything b/c we are an amazing group of people with a dynamic that just won’t quit.
But you know what pisses me off about “us?” When some loathsome sorry ass “nigger” does something STUPID in the community and we stand behind them by posting shit like “Free ____.”
What? You serious?
You mean to tell me…that if THIS sorry ass son of a bitch can shoot THIS man in broad damn daylight just to jack his ass over some chump shit, we still need to yell out that he needs to be free?
And you wonder why America doesn’t give us any respect. Black people kill me fighting over the wrong damn thing. We get black folks who kill people for no reason (Deadre Tunstall), who molest children (R. Kelly), who abuse their wives (OJ Simpson) but continue standing behind them like its the “white man” that’s doing them wrong and holding them back from whatever success is out there. If black folks aren’t busy blaming the white man, then they’re blaming the victim….“Oh, those girls were just fast as hell. They knew what they were doing.” Or “Hmph, that white bitch probably got what she deserved. WE LOVE YOU, OJ!”
I love me some TI. But wrong is wrong. That dude had guns that even soldiers in military offices overseas don’t have. He’s going to jail. Get over it! Stop making those dumb ass “Free TI” shirts b/c he is NOT above the law!
Gucci Mayne is another one that I’ve seen a LOT of tees floating around for. I mean seriously…this man is charged with freakin’ murder. And unless his claim of ‘self defense’ can be proven, he is a murderer.
For all of you who continue to be on this quest to ‘free the guilty,’ let me ask you…if it was your mother, father, sibling, or friend that one of these people committed a crime against, how quickly would you be hitting up American Apparel so your statement could be felt?
Didn’t think so….

no doubt yo this shit has GOT to stop. Black folks have a real skewed view of justice a lot of times, and seem to think that because we were raped (in every manner of speaking) in our past that now we should be off the hook for all crimes. That’s surely not how shit works!
Mr. Watson:I’ve never heard the ‘white bitch gets what’s deserved’ line.
I think no matter what the excuse, the ‘What if it was (insert fam member here)?’ question will clear somebody’s head up real quick… and if not then hmm smh @ them.
I love that question tho. It’s just like.. “EXACTLY!”
@ Watson: Oh I’ve heard it several times over. It usually comes from bitter black folks who are mad at the relationship all together. But it’s definitely been said.
mzvirgo:Thank you for this post.
And this is why I don’t get caught up with the media hype, especially when it came to O.J. back in 1994 and Michael Jackson for the child molestation charges. Your post reminds me of Chris Rock’s “Bring the Pain” (or was it “Bigger and Blacker”?) when he talks about black people jumping up and down talking about “we won!!” Well, WTF did we win?
We support the wrong things, and at the end of the day, the celebrities are not above the law.
NaturallyAlise:I have always been the “hater” saying what you have. I am the one that never had an iota of support or sympathy with the R Kelly’s and OJ’s of the world. I too, get tired of the glorification or dismissing of guilt of ignorant violent bastards… smdh…
Jeremy Kitching:What I am trippin’ on is your blog tag. “Irritation So Bad My Vagina Hurts??” LMAO!
The Pretty Brown Girl:OJ is the damn murderin’boogeyman and I couldn’t be happier that his ass in jail. I have always held on the the belief that he did kill his wife and that other guy Ron. He is an arrogant prick who finally got his just desserts.
And Kellz…*fumes* I seriously cannot stomach him. He is a pedophile of the worst kind: unchecked. He has being raping and molesting little girls for years and because of who he is (or at least, who people think he is because celebrity is an illusion) he’s been allowed to continue in that abhorrent behavior. But as OJ has proven, that type of out of control, self-possessed megalomania can only go on for so long before it self-destructs. Robert Kelly will get his too.
Angel:I never understood some black people with the whole OJ thing or even Michael Jackson!
As for gucci mane and the murder he was set up by a stripper and some dude to be ROBBED, but now is doing time for probation violation.
Dana:i totally 100% agree Jia ! !!!
one thing tho … and i may be wrong.. but i thought the story behind Gucci man was that .. there was a hit out on him or some shit on his house… someone broke in his spot.. and could have harmed him .. so he did what he had to do … no??
