I honestly think that black people have lost their damn minds. So many of them were mad at Mary because she was participating in "coonery". All I can say is that it's clear that modern day kneegrows do not know what coonery is, even though they are the biggest perpetrators. Case and point.
1. Dave Chappel and other Comi-coons- how many black people got behind his career even though he continued to sell out their collective dignity for profit? How many people just sat back and laughed and okey-doked and never once thought "Hey! He is making our entire identity and struggle into a joke, mainly targeted at a white audience as we know they have the most money and enjoy seeing black people make fools of themselves. Perhaps this may have a negative effect on black children in the future if they think that the only way to become successful as a black person is to be a clown for whites."
2. The Rap/Hip-Hop industry- I think we should go ahead and rename this "Koons R Us, Inc". C-rappers, with precious few exceptions, have abandoned rap as art and have exploited it as a means to confirm every negative stereotype about black people that there ever was. We are seeing now more and more how it has also become a vehicle of not community expression but of black male expression ONLY. No longer is it "the people's music". It is simply, black men's music, focusing on denigrating black women, praising non-black women and establishing a shameful standard of masculinity for black males. But what do black males do? They defend it. Never once caring what message that sends to the world about black masculinity. Shame.
3. Abbot and Castello AKA Jesse and Al- Seriously people? Where are these clowns when it counts? What have they actually done for black people other than parade around every single time a high profile case involving a black person comes up? They aren't even good agitators or motivators so how do they actually pass as leaders again? Did you hear them rallying for Marissa Alexander? Do you hear them call black people out on their crap when they do stupid crap? Do you see them keeping blacks ACCOUNTABLE for any of the crap they do as a group that makes the situation worse for everybody and for our kids? NO! They just parade around and blame the white man for everything.
5. Black Snakes, erm, I mean, Black Pastors- The Black Church is a joke. It's such a huge scam. In any community, there is infrastructure that should be in place that is supposed to bring out the best in people. The political establishment should keep them abreast of political issues. The church or religious institution is to keep people's morals in check. The black snakes will preach all day about the evils of homosexuality and how to get rich off of Jesus, but you will be hard pressed to find them preaching just as hard anything about the evils of sex-outside of marriage, or why the Bible says that men who refuse to take care of their own flesh and blood have denied the faith. No, what you will be sold is a fundraising doctrine of fear that declares that God will punish you if you don't pay your tithes and will put curses on you because your first tenth is actually His money. Now of course that isn't written in the New Testament ANYWHERE and we are supposedly under grace, but God will curse you none the less for refusing to keep making snakes rich. Fuckers.
6. Black Misogyny- For those of you who don't know,4BlackWomenONLY made the now famous Boycott video and I just found out that it has been removed and called "Hate Speech". Yes, it's true. Now there are COUNTLESS videos all of Youtube that feature DBR's denigrating and biting into BW but they have never been pulled and never called "Hate Speech". I thought about the irony and then it dawned on me. If the black community doesn't see trashing BW as coonery and disgraceful, why should any one else? You see, we tell people how to treat us and what to think of us and one too many black people have told the world that they are a bunch of coons not worthy of respect and too many black males see nothing wrong with trashing us women. Do you still think you are a member of a loving community that puts your best interest at heart or is protecting your dignity,sister? Black women have always been the least protected women in this country and if we are serious about ending it for our daughters, we must act NOW!
*CORRECTION: Her Blackistan video has been removed, not the Boycott vid.
I want everybody who can to contact 4BlackWomenONLY either through Youtube or Facebook and let's stand in solidarity and see what we can do help. Let's also stand with Mary J. and refuse to let black hypocrisy treat her like scum while it lets losers get away with murder.
Mary J.! I support you and I respect your dignity. You are just fine with me!
Let's support Mary! Go to her VEVO page and click some of her music. VEVO pays her record company who then pays her! Let's show our support and if you want to hear a song again, refresh the page by hitting the F5 button on your keyboard! (Don't forget to turn down the channel music if you listen to it on my page!)
Last December, 16 year-old Jasmine Thar was visiting family in North Carolina when a single bullet struck her, as well as her aunt and cousin. While the other two women survived, Jasmine died from her injuries.
