shysternomics 2007-10-08 15:38:00 According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, a shyster is a person "who is professionally unscrupulous especially in the practice of law or politics." Being from the dirty, i have met a many of shysters both in the streets and in the work place. From my recollection, the governor of Mississippi gives new meaning to this word.We all recant of August 2005 when Hurricane Katrina “Dropped the Bomb” on parts of the Dirty. It was one of the catastrophic storms in the history of the U.S. In many places, it did so much damage that it lead to the displacement of tens of thousands of people. In fact the U.S. Census Bureau, noted that after the event, the population of the state of Louisiana declined by 219,563 (almost 5%). Almost 80% of New Orleans was flooded (neighborhoods that ranged from 75 to 100% African American – see pg 2) by Hurricane Katrina, with some parts documented to have been submerged under 20 feet of water.Total city of NO displacement was close to 500,000 persons
aint nothin' like the real thang baby 2007-10-06 00:09:00 Some times you think you have heard it all, like when my employer told me I had to ask permission from them to make any loot on the side. Or about 16 year old Pleajhai Mervin, who had her wrist broken by a school guard for dropping her cake.But what is astonishing to me are these self-righteous puritanical hypocrites that want to impose their views, no matter how fascist on others. This past Monday, the United States Supreme Court decided not to hear a case that challenged the state of Alabama’s decleration of sex toys as being contraband.The high court upheld a lower court ruling against Sherri Williams, owner of Pleasures stores in Huntsville and Decatur. The law (Alabama's anti-obscenity law) was enacted in 1998, bans devices “designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.” LOL. So if you want one, the state will likily loose a modicum of revenue since folks will have to get their toys from out of state (the law permits folks to buy sex Read more:thang

lol 2007-10-01 14:09:00 Just a query, we all know about sperm banks, but tell me this, is it possible to become a licensed independent contacted sperm donor? I mean, why go to a bank, albeit the selection is vast, when you can select the make and model of your sperm – both on and offline. I figure like this, I am a good person, and I think I have high octane, mandingo, zulu, put it on the plate super duper loop-t-looper sperms. And stating such, why can’t I be an independent sperm contractor for that corpus of women that may desire to have a child, and may desire certain qualities in their sperm that love in all cases may not predict such qualities to evince. I figure high IQ sperm. PHD sperm, and raw dawg country Memphis Nigga sperm may have a price somewhere in the sperm market. And add African American, 6-2, 180, and no diseases to the aforementioned (albeit there is a thin line between brilliance and insanity).I could also give discounted prices since my overhead would be low (no pun intended) by p

where dem dollars at 2007-09-25 21:17:00 Boy oh, boy, I’m glad my broker honored my request to put a quarter of my account in pounds and Euro’s each. Im certain by now you have heard that the dollar dropped to $1.40 against euro.This slide has been goin on for about 3 or 4 years now, but never has the change against other currencies been so dramatic. This was after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates in the beginning of last week.The query is multifold, inclusive of asking what does it say about Greenspan's successor, Ben Bernanke. Not only do we have to worry about the decline in the greenback, but add to that the bust in the housing market and a reduction in manufacturing, this should have a major impact on the U.S. economy.My concern is that politicians are not even talking about the importance of having a strong currency for the country during the current political dialogue. Especially since it has been reported that China has stocked piled about $200 billion US dollars

bling 4 a king 2007-09-23 22:09:00 I am not ashamed to say it but to me, most folk who seek fame over character have little or no integrity and low self-esteem. This is particularly true by my speculation for entertainers and athletes.Many of us know that we are in a very different era in America. For the first time, a man that looked like me is being honored via a memorial in Washington, DC and his name is Martin King Jr. I look very highly at Dr. King, not only for his astuteness as a scholar, or the fact that he is like myself, an alumnus of Morehouse College, or even his letter from a Birmingham jail, but because with all of is faults, he was a man of character and integrity.People say that we need to support the memorial to Dr. King and I agree. They are holding concerts and asking for loot left and right. I just don’t know why it is so hard for us to get the loot we need with all of this so-called new money in our community. So I just say this as a challenge. I Mean, I would like for folks to show me they aint f
the new super hero 2007-09-19 12:21:00 Growing up I was a big fan of comic books. I loved the super hero’s and arch villains even more. I didn’t lean much for DC comics and the likes of Superman and Flash, but towards the Marvel group with Luke Cage, Black Panther, Iron Man and the Avengers. Although I haven’t picked one up in a while, I do see a new Super Hero or super villain arising on the world stage – China.The way I see it, China is about to move in front of all these rinky dink powers of the G-8 great west delegation. And they doing so with professional criminal without a criminal record accuracy. You can start off with the Yuan. It was devalued for the first time in a decade in 2005 when the changed it from being valued on the dollar to a group of currencies.Since then, the Yuan has appreciated 6.35 percent against the US dollar and this past July hit a new high against the US dollar given a trade surplus at mid-year projected to be US$100 billion. But that’s not all. If that wasn’t enough, they started
makin' progress 2007-09-13 11:35:00 One could argue that since we declared war, invaded and subsequently occupied Iraq, that things have been getting better (that is if you are a recovering cocaine addict as is our current head of state). Otherwise, such an assertion would be fatuous. Every since major military operations ended in Iraq some four years ago, we have still been conducting major military operations. Not to mention, inconsistent and running water, electricity and high unemployment was unheard of prior to our invasion and is now a daily reality for some 70 to 80 percent of the Iraqi populous.Add to that the fact that the government we installed is basically dissolved, with leading figures such as Judge Radhi al-Radhi, who ran the Public Integrity Commission set up by Paul Bremer recently resigned due to death threats (a fortune for him since a substantial number of politicians we have installed have already been killed).We were told that the troop surge was supposed to reduced the insurgency and create an envi Read more:progress
Kicking In Doors 2007-09-11 15:07:00 Main, it is getting rough out this camp. In the last month, I have heard stories from several of my boys about folks bum rushing cribs in Southwest Fulton County down her in the ATL. One of my folks say his boy was in the house when a crew of four bussed in the door and started running through his crib. Since he was home they scatted out with the quickness. Another associate of mine had his car stolen and the crew was using his car to do more jobs.Many of them are young boys with no respect or no remorse, figuring its best to be gangsta and take another person stuff as opposed to work for it. Not to mention, there have been crews hitting Big Lots, CVs’s and fast food joints. They are so brash that on camera they have been caught wearing the same thing – white T’s and Atlanta Braves caps. Add to the mix, the recent increase in stealing ATM machines by dragging them out with trucks and with fork lifts, seems as if no young brother desires to earn a living unless it is by doing dirt Read more:Doors

Worthless Negro 2007-08-31 09:03:00 On this gloomy and inclement day in Atlanta, it has just dawned on me that that I have joined the ranks of the worthless Negro
. See, I do not expect everybody to understand what I mean. Some people will never know what I am experiencing now because they have never had to provide for themselves or their family or be the single care giver of a household; and may have others to shoulder their burden by protecting them from bills and the pressure of having to provide everything.But me, there is rent/mortgages to pay, auto bills, daycare, tuition, putting clothes on my family’s back, keeping food in their stomachs and a roof over their heads with electric, phones, gas, and the water running. True, I still have lot coming in and I am a hard worker, but more is always a plus and needed.See, I was taught that the measure of a man was how he provided and protected his family and how he takes care of his children. It is just that as a man, the only thing I was ever afraid of was not being able
the adulteress 2007-08-30 23:17:00 I have always wondered if it was possible for an adulteress to actually value and respect the sanctity of a monogamous relationship and or marriage? I have also wondered if an adulteress can change her ways? I have come to conclude that the answer is no, for once an adulteress always an adulteress. For she will always love that married man first above all other men or else they would have not knowingly started the relationship or be able to cut all ties completely with that man.For an woman that sleeps with a married man will always have some kin and affection to that man and will do anything to keep ties with that person. Now I know you are saying this is not all women. And I agree, but for the woman that knowingly interacts with a married man, and if that man may have some fame or recognition to his name, I will venture to say she will never be faithful and trustworthy. She will always stay in touch with that man, and when things do not go her way in life she will look to him for a f
Musharraf Amour 2007-08-30 17:23:00 Believe it or not, having no government in Iraq at the moment means more problems for the folks we consider our allies, Especially Pakistan. Pakistan, a country that is run by a man that took over in a military Coup and still prefers to wear his military uniform as opposed to a suit and tie. What’s the problem you say? Well let me put it like this.In a speech to the European Parliament foreign affairs committee last year, Pakistan’s President General Pervez Musharraf blamed the United States and the West for “breeding terrorism in his country by bringing in thousands of mujahideen to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and then leaving Pakistan alone a decade later to face the armed warriors,” according to an article in the Pakistan’s Daily Times published last year.Now these same forces, once friends to the US are our enemies and we put them in place. The situation is precarious for Musharraf since they are trying to push him out of leadership the Malcolm X way – by any Read more:Amour

thang long 2007-08-23 12:41:00 Was in San Francisco for the last five days. It was a nice reprise from the feces occurring at my former place of employment proffered by my Dean. I mean, I started cleaning out my office and found out the Dean didn’t have the gumption to forward or continue my email. The strange thing is that he as a white man says he takes offense when folks say he doesn’t look out for the interest of African American males in terms of enrollment in his institution, but then again what can one expect from a white man in charge at a HCBU.Any who, instead of my usual places of residence like the Westin, the W, or some retro chic Boutique hotel, I stayed in a dive (not Really) on Lombard street in between the historic Pierce and Fillmore Streets and a block away from Chestnut Street. The Joint was called the Presidio. I stayed over this way because I couldn’t get a room for the aforementioned since I was there to Present to the American Psychological Association and all the good and inexpensive p Read more:thang
The next generation 2007-08-15 08:16:00 …and I am not speaking of star trek, I am talking about our own, and if we are to SAVE the aforementioned:1] Stop smoking weed in front of your kids2] Don’t curse around your kids or even worse curse at them.3] Take that money from the clubs and bars and spend it on some piano or tap lessons or basketball4] Turn them videos off and the radio on the morning and listen to NPR, sports talk, or suffer with the Disney radio (they good for teaching sentence structure and vocabulary).5] If you are not working, do not put your children off with the baby sitter. Spend as much time with them as you can.6] Stop fighting or beating on your woman (or man) in front of your children. They will suffer the most in the end. Violence is not the answer – least always.7] Read to them all the time, and let the see you reading, especially newspapers each day.8] When you can, sit at the table together and eat and talk9] let them see honor, integrity and character by letting them see you live your life a
live free or die 2007-08-13 20:16:00 Today was a bad day. It would have been a good day to come home to a hot cooked meal, some loving arms, to have a hot bath drawn and some good loving – but I don’t have such available to me. This morning when I got in my office, some grief that had been building up finally hit the fan. Yep, most of yawl know I am an associate professor at a HCBU, a medical school, and that prior to this, I was at a top ten university located in Atlanta. Today I was given a letter by my dean requesting that I be dismissed from the faculty because I select to stand for my forth amendment rights.Yep, that’s what happened. See they, want me to sign over my loot to them and to give up my consultation practices on the side. They say that all of my time belongs to them and that I should let them pimp me as such. Seeing I aint no fuck boy, I told them to suck on these.They say I am not allowed to make any money outside of what they pay me – albeit, I have yet to receive a raise since being employed up
What u need now 2007-08-06 12:46:00 There are some folks in this world, folks in this world that many of us can do without. However, our home training and knowledge of being humble and caring of others may get in the way. I know many of you have folks like this in your life or may have known of such folks. You tend to only hear from them, see them or get a call from them when they want and need something.I will not call them leeches, for such would be derogatory and mean, but I will venture to call such people helpless and selfish. For when you need or ask them for something they can’t, won’t or worse, will say they will do it but never will. I man I know people like this so when they do cal I start off by asking "what u need now?" And they have the audicity to get mad.As for me, I do what I say and take pride in being caring, but some folks may see this as a weakness and attempt to take for granted my kind actions and generosity. The strange thing is that when you stop enabling their dependence, they turn on you and
watermelon man 2007-08-03 09:50:00 Bridges aside, I have more pressing things on my mind and as usual they focus on my community. I’m not gonna say that we killing our own over peanuts, but it may turn out to be such if and when the assailants are caught. Yesterday here in the metro Atlanta area, a man was shot to death early while selling watermelons from the back of a truck in Chamblee.Juan Morales was killed on his 39th birthday and lived in a rural area of Georgia were he served as the pastor of a church. They say this married father of one, was accosted by two men who asked about the prices of his watermelons. All it too was one shot. Police say four men in a silver Cadillac tried to rob them and that one of the men pulled out a gun and shot Morales.I do not know about you, but over watermelons? Or over the price of watermelons? Is it that bad that folks are s lazy that they would rather rob and kill that put in a god 40 hrs a week? I feel sorry for this mans family and his friends and even more so for our commun
whom side they own 2007-08-02 19:02:00 Sometimes I wonder whom side they own, you know government and politrixters. It seems that it is not on the side of logic, the public hard work, and the community. The priority has to be elsewhere. After the collapsing of that bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota it dawned on me that the general infrastructure of this country, with the exception of a few cities like Atlanta, do not regularly work on highways, add runways, or replace water lines in the city.Most cities I travel too in the states, including my home town of Memphis have poor highway systems and such makes me think that the rest of the infrastructure, needs serious examination too. From Raliegh, to Orlando, to DC even, the highways systms, if any indication of other systems, are on the surface delpidated and antiquated.In Minnsota for example, two reports published since talked about "the bridge's deck truss system” having “many poor fatigue details on the main truss and the floor truss system" but that is beside th poin
the ghost of Grover Clevland 2007-10-16 12:44:00 It is unsettling at times, to know that the world you live in is not alwaysone that has your best cultural interest at hand. I was trying to hold off on publishing this but I couldn’t. But just imagine, post segregation, 2007, and your child is one of 9 African American students attending a middle school in New Jersey. They come home and ask you to assist them with their home work but you cannot. Not because you are dumb but more so because are stunned and appauled.This is what happened for sme parents whoes children attened Grover
Cleveland Middle School in Caldwell, NJ. Two New Jersey middle school teachers gave students a take-home project on slavery. The students, who were in the 6th grade, were asked to write a persuasive report, as if they were a plantation owner, selling the pros of slavery for running a Cotton Plantation they had inherited from their relatives.In essence, they were given homework that was supposed to result in a media campaign in support of slavery and the us
Nothing soft about that 2007-10-15 11:55:00 I often spend the precious pages of cyberville talking and pointing fingers at my folk and myself. It even pains me to do such. But this weekend in Atlanta, from Thursday until Saturday, I have been paid by stupidity once again. Not just because I hate how some folks promote nonsense, but also because the reality is that these folks are still my brothers and sisters.This past weekend in Atlanta, BET hosted their annual hip-hop awards show. It wasn’t a troubled weekend with al the folks in tow but there were two events that caught m attention and the attention of the community as a whole. On Thursday night, it was alleged that J. T. Money (originally of the Poison Klan) was wanted for his possible role in a shooting at a Club in midtown called Opera. This event resulted in the death of a young man. I still can’t figure why a person who is going to a club, would take a gat. I mean it is not like one is expecting an old fashion meet me at sun down shot out.The second occurred Saturda Read more:Nothing
Flickted homo sapien sapien 2007-10-12 14:01:00 I learned of the origin of man through the works of Chekih Anta Diop (my Idol), the Senegalese scholar. To me his most seminal works were The African Origin of Civilization, Pre-Colonial Black Africa and Civilization or Barbarism. It was him that I learned of the lineage of homo habillis, Homo erectus and homo sapien sapien (all in Africa). This is just a preface, since for the last two days I have been hanging out on Bankhead with my folk D4L at their studio. I say this because I have written a few essays but have been thinking about stuff, that I thin I should understand being that I am homo sapien sapien. Many of which come from the consternation proffered by the cathode ray tube. Here goes.1] Ugly Betty. How don’t seem ugly to me but is rather finer than a mug.2] Grey’s Anatomy. It is nothing like the book.3] Human vegetarians that have incisors and Canines which by design are made to shred meat.4] Women suggesting that Jay-Z is fine – when did this happen.5] A woman not giv
fantasy congress 2007-10-09 23:36:00 Since I killed what would be roughly the amount of brain cells one would loose after consuming a pint of Tequila last night, I would like to interrupt our regular scheduled programming to suggest an intersection of two things that I thought should never merge, or that from a regression of my days as a chemistry major, are insoluble.If you don’t know, I am a fantasy
sports junky and a CSPAN addict. I mean I have badges and shit and been playing since about 1995. From ESPN to the Sporting News, I have had a many of fantasy tems covering baseball, basketball and football. What many of you do know, via the reading and mental consumption of my tractates posted on this Blog, is that also am an astute follower of politics and politrix. Looking at CSPAN today, I noticed that these folks were passing Bills, was amazed because I had never seen the process work so well since “I’m just a Bill on Capitol Hill” School house rock days – I may be dating my self. But what I came to find out w
the name game 2007-10-18 16:04:00 Yo, first I would like to say this is for Rich – no graphics. Second, another thought entered, well really was introduced into my corpus last night. See I got a call from someone I had not heard from in a coupla few years. I didn't recognize the number and i tok it, which is unusual. The conversation went like this, me first:“Yes”“May I speak with Torrance?”“Yes, who’s calling?”“Horse man, you don’t remember me?”And like the late 1990’s, her name instantly popped in my mind in concert with a few sordid acts and details I will not evince on this page.I wonder how common is it for a woman to name, or give names to a particular attribute of the male anatomy. I have been called ‘sugarcane’ the aforementioned and ‘nineandahalfby6’ by a former math major. I have never been into naming or branding a woman’s anatomy (with the exception of me planting myself at the base of my partners spine). So I ask, women what names yawl be calling the jimmy?
