…..Now,….yes France, you won…..congratulations……BUT……you were given two free goals..….yeah, I know…..shit happens…..BUT……that’s not what I want to talk about…..for a country that has a serious immigration..….acceptance……when it comes to Africans……Muslims…..others……can you please explain your national football team to me please?……because the majority of your players…..belong to a group which is……discriminated against, profiled, targeted, arrested……and killed…..so why is acceptance in sports ok…..but rarely within society……it isn’t……and yeah, don’t go there…..I know I could say the same about America…..because the same thing is happening there……except the death rate is a tad higher than yours…….anyway,….I want to hear your opinion..….so…….what’s up?…….tell me later…..anyway,….now,…..my respect goes to President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic of Croatia……I loved her……I have no idea what type of president she is for Croatia……but she was hanging in the rain..…smiling and hugging every player..…on both teams……her hair was all wet and messed up..….make-up running but she didn’t care……and French President Emmanuel Macron was hanging right there with her……because when it started raining..…they didn’t care about an umbrella…..unlike Putin……who had an umbrella over him as soon as the first drop dropped…..so,…..the rest of the world……Mbappe……a 19-year-old who kicked ass during the cup……take a hint from France…..go young……the kids coming up are the ones to watch…..and Brazil…..there are a thousand Neymar’s in your country…..Germany…..way too much young talent running around…..my son could play for your national team.
AND TO QUOTE KHALED BEYDOUN…..
Dear France…..Congratulations on winning the World Cup..…80% of your team was African, cut the racism and xenophobia……50% of your team are Muslims, cut out the Islamophobia……Africans and Muslims delivered you a second World Cup, now deliver them justice.
THE 10 COOLEST BOOKSTORES IN THE UNITED STATES…..If Nicole and I can waist time in the American Book Center in Amsterdam…..this trip needs to be added to our bucket-list.….at least we did spend hours in one of them…..Powell City of Books, Portland (I’m going to guess this one is in Oregon)……City Lights, San Francisco…..Book People, Austin…..The Last Bookstore, Los Angeles (I really want to go there)…..Skylight Books, Los Angeles…..Space Oddities, Chicago…..The Elliott Bay Book Company, Seattle.….Strand Books, NYC (yep, that’s the one we spent hours in )……Faulkner House, New Orleans……The Montague Bookmill, Massachusetts (that one looks really cool)…..I wonder how many people actually read a book now days.….I’m not talking about a Kindle……or something on your phone……nor a hearing book…….I’m talking about something you cuddle up with, is next to your bed.….on the windowsill in the toilet…..a book.….a real book!
PRESIDENT TRUMP DEMANDS NORTH KOREA’S KIM JUNG UN LIVE UP TO DENUCLARIZATION AGREEMENT…..Right,….and the Oakland Raiders called me last night and want me to play safety during the 2018 football season…..that ain’t happening because Asia played your dumbass…..sucker!……he got exactly what he wanted……the mighty American photo-op.
AN AVOCADO TOAST CHOCOLATE BAR NOW EXISTS, AND THE INTERNERT IS HAVING NONE OF IT…..I might have to agree with the net on this one.…..I love chocolate and I love avocados…..but together….nah man….if you’re brave enough to try one……or you like it….let me know what it tastes like.…it’s made with smashed avocado…..chocolate…..and toast……and the makers of the new worse dessert…..ever…..comes out of LA…..figures…..and the shit has the nerve to cost……$9.95 a bar.
MAN WEARING SOCKS AT THE POOL….LADY CALLS THE COPS……I laughed when I watched the video.….that just goes to show..…some white folks don’t know shit about black folks……we don’t like our feet gittin’ all burnt up on the cement……the only black family at a pool..…in a complex they’re paying rent in……Erica Walker identified herself as the property manager…..and asked dude to take his socks off…..no hats and shirts allowed…..even though her white friends were wearing…..hats and shirts…..so the cops came……listened and said.…. “Seriously?”……and left…..but don’t worry……the owners of the Riverset Apartment complex..…showed her the door…..they weren’t down with the profiling…..and another black man had the cops called on him…..because he was relaxing at a pool..…in an apartment complex…..where he’s paying $1,600 a month to live…..and last but not least……a Muslim family had the cops called on them because the kids were enjoying some swim time…..cops were called on a black family ordering sandwiches at a Subway..….you can’t redeem coupons at a CVS store without the manager calling the cops and accusing you of coupon fraud..….which I find funny because that particular manager..….was arrested for fraud two years before…..but…out of all the best..… “Call the cops on black people”..…this one tops the list….
BLACK MAN HAD COPS CALLED ON HIM BECAUSE HE WAS SITTING IN HIS CAR AND LISTENING TO A YOGA CD…..The guy had some time to kill before he attended a class…..which started in two hours.….so he sat in his car listening to music……until a white woman saw him as a threat..….and started running up and don’t the street…..filming him and yelling he’s trying to attack me and hurt me..….dude has it all on tape, proving she was lying……and cops told her to go the fuck back home (their words – not mine)…..there needs to be a new “911 law”….if you use it unnecessarily..….and waste the police time on some bogus racist crap…..you should be fined $10,000 dollars..…and must live with the person you called the cops on..…for two months!……I bet 911 would go back to emergencies only again…..you know me……of course I had to save the best for last…..
MAN ACTUALLY CALLS COP ON BLACK MAN BECAUSE HE FOULED HIM DURING A PICKUP BASKETBALL GAME….Yeah,…..I know……NEXT!
