Nuff respect, Bea


Maude TV Opening ThemeClick here for more free videos

To honor her, I’m going to buy my wife a purple duster with a high collar for her birthday. According to Wikipedia, that’s Donny Hathaway singing the opening theme. No wonder that shit swings like it does.

The New York Times thinks all Black people look alike

Well, not all Black people.  But this is a perfect example of why the stereotype still persists.  Writing about the new movie Obsessed, Stephen Holden said the following:

The movie’s most disturbing aspect, of which the filmmakers could not have been unaware, is the physical resemblance between Mr. Elba and Ms. Larter to O. J. and Nicole Brown Simpson.   It lends “Obsessed” a distasteful taint of exploitation.

The problem, of course, is the fact that Idris Elba and O.J. Simpson look nothing alike, save for one obvious similarity. They have different shaped heads, different facial structures, different features, different skin tones.  They just both happen to be Black.  And Ali Larter and Nicole Brown Simpson just both happen to be blond white women.

The only thing distasteful here is how the sight of a Black man on screen with a white woman still makes white people crazy enough to write stupid shit like this.

Wyatt Cenac makes a pilgrimage

What Mecca is for Islam, Sweden is for white woman.  I can’t believe The Daily Show fell for the whole Socialism angle. Well played, my brother.

Do you like smooth jazz and funky, old houses?

If you answered yes, click here.  I want to buy this place  and throw  parties where The Wife and I play nothing but this song over and over again.  I’ll be wearing a yellow, v-neck cashmere sweater with the sleeves pushed up.  You’ll find it at the Macy’s Men’s Store in the Liz Claiborne collection.  It’s called “The Al Jarreau.”  She’ll be wearing a vintage DVF number with no bra.  Yeah.  It will be that kind of night.

I’m pretty sure a porn star was murdered in this house.  It just has that vibe.  Also…

Dear Internet,

It’s 2009.  Why the fuck are you still resizing my browser?

Sincerely,

Everybody in the world with a fucking computer.

Translation:  A homeless guy came up on some scotch tape.  Todd Bridges.  Astrology.  The Lakers.  Nope.  Nothing weird about this at all.  I’m so tempted to call that number.

Winston-Salem area MCs must be pissed

Vexing for multiple reasons. As the title suggests, my mind immediately goes to the struggling MCs in the greater Winston-Salem, NC area. You’re relaxing on the couch after a long, hard day of real keeping. You turn on the news and see this shit. Really, WXII? You couldn’t at least give Jenny some money out of petty cash to pay for a ghost writer? But white people making awful hip-hop related decisions is neither new nor shocking. What I’m genuinely surprised by is just how bad she is. It’s 2009. You’d think that by now the words, sounds, and affectations of hip-hop would have permeated white culture enough for this chick to be able to cobble together some rudimentary lyrics. It’s like she doesn’t even understand the basic concept of a rhyme scheme.

I blame Fergie.
