I'm not gonna lie, unless I'm out in public - I drink most of what's in my cabinet straight.

You can't just go out to bars and parties and start knocking back Jose Cuevo like its cool. People judge you.

I'll get a Jameson on the rocks or something if it's just a chill night out. Maybe some scotch if it's more of a lounge/restaurant type place where you can sit down. If we're getting drunk, I'll probably either be taking shots or pounding beers.
 
So you drink everything straight?

Excuse me while I laugh at that bs.

Only time I drink anything mixed is when I am at Cabo on Hollywood getting margaritas. Everything else is straight. Vodka is ass tho. I don't drink to get drunk. So I consume the shit I like because of its taste which is Beer and Whiskey.

I'm half Mexican so that is actually what I do with Tequila. Especially the straight from mexico and inside a miniature wooden barrel kind my friend's have. It taste so good.

People drinking mixed drinks are usually not drinking to get drunk, that's what piss cheap beer is for, but not everyone can buy Bulleit every time they want more than a couple tumblers of straight drink.

Bomani Jones (ESPN dude) talking about Magna Carta Holy Grail on his podcast was really enlightening.

http://www.theeveningjones.com/ (it's the most recent episode)

hits on the album itself and Hov's
Hov, rappers & black new money in general
Money vs Power. etc.
Hov's beef w/ Harry Belafonte

said he used to be Che Guevara w/ bling on. now he's just selling Che Guevara t-shirts...made in China lol.

looooooooots of interesting stuff. gotta sit through like 5 mins of him telling other stories to get to it. but he's always entertaining. i highly recommend checking this one out.

I just mix Coke and Pepsi and come away 60$ richer at the end of the week

Take that, Ann Landers


.. Had to help my mom remove her old soft and loveseat today, and bring in the replacement soft and loveseat. I got tired of waiting for my brother to get his ass in gear so I just picked up the loveseat and took it behind the house myself. Neighbors across the street looked at me funny. lulz

Have I mentioned how satisifying it feels to whip a loveseat over your head and slam it into the ground?

I don't even know what rules Google has for apps that go into their store outside of an app that just destroys your phone as soon as you install it.


It's pretty much hands off. They don't enforce editorial powers unless something really gets their attention.

15 Things Black People Must Do In Order To End Racism

I am so tired of people thinking that racism will be undermined when Black people act a certain way. You are wrong.

— Maame (@obaa_boni) July 5, 2013



1. It is the responsibility of the Negro to reject any history of America that includes slavery. Reminding the Negro of slavery will cause him to resent all white people, even though slavery ended years ago. Slavery must not be regarded as American history, and must be retroactively deleted from history and removed from any curricula.



2. It is the responsibility of the Negro to stop saying “nigga”, “nigger” or any variation thereof. When Black people use the word nigger, they are responsible for its usage by white people. This is especially true for Black Hip Hop artists, that have given the word mainstream credibility. The Negro cannot complain about other races using this term if they insist upon using it themselves. If Black people stop, it will go away overnight.



3. It is the responsibility of the Negro to never acknowledge the existence of police brutality or racial profiling by law enforcement. The Negro must maintain the correct posture, articulation, appearance and professionalism as determined by whites, in order to avoid abuse and mistreatment by law enforcement. Law enforcement is only performing their assigned duties to keep the rest of us safe. There is no such thing as racial profiling.



4. It is the responsibility of the Negro to always dress in a respectable manner. The Negro must, at all times, dress professionally with impeccably pressed trousers and non-threatening white button down shirts. Ties are preferred. The Negro should try to avoid sneakers, sweats, baggy jeans, hoodies, or any other apparel that may constitute a thuggish, frightening appearance or suggest that he may be concealing a weapon or drugs. These types of clothing, however, are perfectly suitable for whites.



5. It is the responsibility of the Negro to discontinue the use of slang, “Ebonics,” African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) or any regional dialect/vocabulary that is not universally recognized and accepted by American whites. This language is confusing and frightening to white people, and they will not accept this language or respect the Negro if he speaks this way.



6. It is the responsibility of the Negro to uphold the tenets of equality by not supporting Black-only media or enterprises such as BET, The NAACP Image Awards, Essence and Ebony magazine, or any entertainment that directly targets and celebrates Black people or has the word “Black” in it. When the Negro creates his own entertainment and media spaces or participates in them, he is perpetuating the exclusion of white people and enforcing the kind of segregation he is so fond of bemoaning. At the same time, the Negro must not acknowledge any exclusion of Blacks from mainstream media and entertainment enterprises.



7. It is the responsibility of the Negro to maintain hairstyles that are acceptable to American whites. This means discontinuing hairstyles such as Afros, dreadlocks, braids, cornrows, Philly’s, multi-colored hair, and other styles that may directly or indirectly suggest any sort of regional trends or cultural pride. For tips on definitive, acceptable hairstyles, the Negro must consult the expertise of white people and go to great lengths to control the texture of their hair to the extent that it mirrors that of American whites.



8. It is the responsibility of the Negro to never purchase property in white neighborhoods. Black people can only ever be visitors, and may still be subjected to suspicion from white people. The Negro must understand and accept his position in America as a second class citizen and must politely cooperate when his presence is questioned by white people.



9. It is the responsibility of the Negro to name his child appropriately. Names like Ebony, Kenya, Keisha and especially names that are more than two syllables long are unprofessional and difficult to pronounce. Additionally, names like Ahmad, Khalil or Muhammed suggest collusion with terrorists. Names like Sarah, Madison, Amy and Scott are much more acceptable and will ensure that the Negro is able to find a job, but only if spelled correctly.



10. It is the responsibility of the Negro to always maintain a kind, deferential attitude, even when confronted with antagonistic and harassing behavior from American whites. Expressing any sort of discomfort towards a white person, or challenging his views is threatening and unacceptable. The Negro must avoid giving in to provocation by white people, because he may be turned over to law enforcement or lose his job.



11. It is the responsibility of the Negro to abstain from engagement in Black History Month. It is not necessary for the Negro to have the entire month of February to learn about the history of his ancestors or celebrate the historical accomplishments of people that look like him. This, however, may not be a guarantee that any history of African-Americans will be integrated into any teachings or historical accounts year-round, and the Negro must never challenge that.



12. It is the responsibility of the Negro to accept that depictions of Egyptians as fair-skinned is historically sound. It is unrealistic to believe that glamorous, regal and wealthy Egyptians possibly had dark skin, despite Egypt’s location in Africa.



13. It is the responsibility of the Negro to never seek solidarity with other people of color, including but not limited to Asians, Latinos, Arabs and Native Americans. These partnerships are a major threat to white people, and only serve to reinforce reverse-racism.



14. It is the responsibility of the Negro to not express any sort of pride. Terms like “Black Pride” and “Black Love” and “Black Is Beautiful” are threatening to whites, as well as exclusionary. Black Pride is just as dangerous and violent as white pride, and has historically made white Americans justifiably uncomfortable.



15. It is the responsibility of the Negro to acknowledge that racial slurs against white people, such as cracker, honkey, and white devil, perpetuate and reflect the historic disenfranchisement and oppression of white Americans. The power behind these words is very wounding to white people, and they are therefore unacceptable.



If the Negro wants to ensure the end of racism, he must follow these rules to the letter and it is guaranteed that racism will no longer exist. It is not necessary for American whites to make any changes or adjustments to their perception of race, culture or history, since matters of race do not affect them. The Negro must ensure that his behavior, dress, hair, and language meet the strict definitions of acceptability as defined by whites, and he must also be grateful that he is allowed to exist in this country with American whites. The Negro should graciously and quietly accept this as reality.

Take care of your fucking hand(s).

Not even that, fingers. Even then, a small part of a finger. Haven't been able to have an upper body work out for 2 months now. This shit has left me the most stressed and depressed I've ever been. Feel like I'm gonna switch on any mans that so much as look at me.

Probably wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't summer/beach season and all my fitness buddies are posting gains on fb. I've did what I can to keep a good routine but, this one small thing fucked up summer for me. Guess it's summer 14 then,

Sorry for the rant but I needed to let loose somewhere.

But my hand is pretty much better now. I'll still wait a few, heist in case.
 
What up BCT!!!! Been a while since I posted. Brother in Law tried to Ike Tuner my sister during the 4th Holiday.. (in front of my nephew)..So I had to take a trip back home for a few days.

My pops and I laid healing hands on him, blessed him and washed him in the blood.....Of Yeezus.
 
One of the girls I work with wanted to buy a swimsuit calender that features one of our bartenders.
Bartender girl is selling the calenders over the counter at 20 bucks a pop, but the other girl doesnt wanna go up and buy it herself, cause she doesnt like bartender girl, feels buying it herself would send the wrong message and only wants the calender to mock bartender girl.

So, not giving any fucks and looking for a laugh, I tell her to gimme the money and Ill buy that calender for her.
So I buy the shit and act all enthusiastic about it. Bartender girl asks me if I want to see her picture before I pay for the calender and I was like "nah, Ima take this on good faith", lol.
I see bartender girl again later that night when she comes back to my area of the restaurant, so I tell her "go 'head with your bad self" in front of some other staff.
anyway, she thinks Im into her now (yes, I lead her on like a asshole) and is running around telling my coworkers I told her to "back dat ass up" even tho I never said that.

bartender girl cuts nice figure, but Im not interested in her, cause shes hooked up with my boss a few times and that makes her totally unappealing to me.

Smash and Dash....It's the only logical way to end this situation.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if all of these were posted seriously at one point in OT.

Numbers 2,3, and 6 are a staple in OT race threads. Some guy I was arguing with was trying to justify profiling, saying "well if these bad neighborhoods are loaded with blacks and browns and all you ever see on tv are these snarling rap dudes, then you cant blame the cops for thinking a certain way"
 

Jackben

bitch I'm taking calls.
Of course it's "15 things black people must do" in order to end racism. Did you take that from Ripclawe's blog? Bonus points for constantly repeating "it is the responsibility of the negro" like some kind of mantra. Aight, go ahead and dig yourselves out of this hole, society will see you later. The entire "your responsibility" thing is a fallacy in of itself often brought up in regards to affirmative action, given the "well we got here on our own, why can't you" remarks.
