…..And no I didn’t read this….I heard it on the subway….y’all need to park those cars and ride the train again….if you don’t already….anyway,…..sitting on the train…after figuring out what the hell I was going to cook for dinner….listening to ….either Stairway To Heaven…..or Mile’s So What….don’t remember…yeah I know…..how could you not tell the……anyway,….so two dudes come in…..dressed in all the so-called image of what a Hip-Hopper would look like….swag and all….and me being all of 61…..ignored them….until they started talking….and then the volume on my headphones went down…..at first they were talking German….but then one of them looked at me….and I looked back…..I’m 61….I don’t give a shit anymore….what did Bernie Mack say…. “I ain’t scared of you mother….”….anyway,….the kid happened to be of Turkish decent….and was talking to an African guy…..who could’ve been either Eritrean or Ethiopian…..you live over here long enough…you can read people……so he decided to switch to English….rap English….and it was like…. “Yo, my N….r”…..F…k that bitch…..you feel me?….so I’m sitting there looking at these kids…..my kids are older than them and know better….and thinking….they think it’s ok to say a racist word…..and when it comes to degrading woman….he has no problem including his mother in the same category….the African guy….I’m sure he’s heard the N-word before…..since he’s living here….but back home I’m sure it’s a tribal thing….and the Turkish kid….it has to be the media…..records….films….sometimes when you hear it enough times….it seems to become the norm….music videos….it’s easier to control a person with an image….and now days….it’s harder to introduce someone to a book…..before I debarked the train….I paused a band I was listening to out of Berlin called Yulara…..walked up to the Turkish kid….looked at the African one and said:….. “There are a few words you should leave out of the English language. One of them is Nigger. Because if you knew the true definition of the word…. (while I’m looking at the Turkish kid)….you would realize you are the only one on this train”….and then I turned to the African kid and said;….. “The next time you want to call a woman a bitch, think of your mother because she’s also a woman”……and then I left…..will they learn anything from what I told them?…..does it matter?…..will I see them again?….so far….nope!

STORM OF STRANGE RADIO BURSTS EMERGE FROM DEEP SPACE…..And someone whom I’ve yet to meet said; “Good…maybe the Galactic Overlords will deal with Trump”….that’s a good idea….but I don’t think it’ll help…..I always hoped they would show up and say… “You humans have one year to get your shit together, otherwise we will end this experiment”….astronomers caught 15 blasts of radio waves coming from a mysterious object about three billion light years away….don’t worry…we’re good….three billion light years…..is out there.

LANDLORDS DEMAND RENT FOR FLOODED HOMES FROM HURRICANE HARVEY VICTIMS…..Texas property code states that if a property is totally unusable due to a disaster….then either the landlord or the tenant can terminate the lease through a written notice….but if the property is deemed partially unusable….because of a disaster….a tenant may only get a reduction in rent determined by a county or district court….more than 230,000 homes were wiped out because of the storm.

AND WHILE EVERYONE WAS CARING ABOUT HOUSTON…..Since June, more than 1,200 people have been killed across India and Bangladesh because catastrophic flooding has spread across both countries….and is affecting more than 41 million people…in the Himalayas, over 12 million people were forced to flee their homes in July….because the flood waters rose from last year….in China’s Jiangxi province….flooding has caused so far this year….$430 million in damages and economic losses…..53,000 homes have been destroyed in Hunan province….and the flood water is still there….this severe weather….which everyone knows….except for you know who….is caused because of climate change…..and it’s putting millions of people around the world at risk….Southeast Asia is the wettest regions in the world…they receive an average of at least 1,000mm of rainfall a year….and while you’re saying your prayers…..say one for Los Angeles….because that’s the biggest wildfire in the city’s history…..over 5,895 acres…..and keep an eye on hurricane Irma…..the storm that’s supposed to slam the East coast this weekend.

OBAMA SPEAKS OUT ON TRUMP ENDING DREAMER PROTECTIONS…… I found this on Huffington Post……my man Obama said in regards to Trump dumping DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals);…….“To target these young people is wrong ― because they have done nothing wrong. It is self-defeating ― because they want to start new businesses, staff our labs, serve in our military, and otherwise contribute to the country we love. And it is cruel. This is about whether we are a people who kick hopeful young strivers out of America, or whether we treat them the way we’d want our own kids to be treated. It’s about who we are as a people ― and who we want to be.”…. Obama started the program in 2012 and urged undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children to come forward to the government, pay a fee and undergo a background check before receiving a two-year work permit and reprieve from deportation….his reason for doing it….. “Because it made no sense to expel talented, driven, patriotic young people from the only country they know solely because of the actions of their parents, my administration acted to lift the shadow of deportation from these young people, so that they could continue to contribute to our communities and our country,”….and to pour salt into the wound…. “Now that the White House has shifted its responsibility for these young people to Congress, it’s up to Members of Congress to protect these young people and our future. I’m heartened by those who’ve suggested that they should. And I join my voice with the majority of Americans who hope they step up and do it with a sense of moral urgency that matches the urgency these young people feel.”…..and now it begins…..if you do not have your papers…..you might be deported….why does that seem familiar?…..lawyers are going to have a field day with this.

FORMER TOWER OF POWER LEAD SINGER RICK STEVENS DIES….Now he was the voice of T.O.P….and some of you may say Lenny Williams was the voice…. “WRONG!”….just listen to Rick’s raw vocals on East Bay Grease and Bump City….if Rick hadn’t done something stupid…..like go to prison….he would’ve been the voice on a few more records….and You’re Still a Young Man….is still one of my all-time classic songs.

ESPN HOSTESS COMMITTED “FIREABLE OFFENSE” WITH TRUMP “WHITE SUPREMACIST” TWEET…..This is coming from the “White” House…..Sarah Huckabee Sanders….the press secretary gal….said… “I think that’s one of the more outrageous comments that anyone could make”….because ESPN host Jemele Hill called Trumpy a….white supremacist……and Saaaa-rh thinks she should be fired for saying that….ok, I know weed is now legal in D.C….and Saaaa-rh must be as high as a giraffe’s nuts….has she any idea what’s come out of Trump’s mouth……the man she’s defending?….girl please….go twist up another one….and we’ll see you at the next press conference…..all she said was…. “Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself with other white supremacists”…..it’s not like Jemele is lying…….NEXT!

CHARLOTTESVILLE VICE MAYOR FLAWLESSLY DEFENDS ESPN’s “QUEEN JEMELE” ……This is what he said……in regard to our first amendment rights……our meaning….”US”…..all of “US”….you don’t have to be American to have an opinion….

“I’m trying to find out where Queen Jemele told a lie because actions, again, speak the loudest. For marginalized communities, we’re always asked to be polite. We’re always asked to compromise. We’re always asked not to say certain things. While other individuals are allowed to say whatever they want; they empower and embolden whoever they want, whenever they want. Everyone wants to talk about Mrs. Hill’s tweets, but let’s think about the leader of the Ku Klux Klan, David Duke, literally said that they came to Charlottesville to fulfill the promise of their president. They came to take back what was theirs…She should have the right to be able to say what she wants to say in a way in which Trump can attack any and whomever he wants to and whenever he wants to. These pundits do the same thing. But why the double standard for an African American female who’s using her platform to bring about awareness?”……this woman shouldn’t have to apologize for a damn thing!

If you have a problem with this….remember…..your rights….are also her rights….and mine!….the only whatever she might’ve had to apologize to is her job….nah, I take that back….she doesn’t have to apologize to anyone…..and I agree with her…he is an evil racist S.O.B…..the only mistake the so-called “White Stu-premacists” did….was to take off their hoods….because now we know who you are.
