I've got to vent here so bear with me. As positive a brother as I may be, I am still prone to negative feelings. What makes me turn them around is to find a healthy way to get them out.
WHAT THE “%#&*” IS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY?!
I think back on all the things I did as a kid, and the things that were done by kids before I came along ... things that should have killed us all if they were judged by today's standards!
Do you remember:
1. Sharing a soda with your best friend?
2. Taking a bite from his or her hamburger from McDonald's?
3. Playing cops and robbers?
4. Shooting off fireworks on the fourth of July?
5. Christmas?
What has happened to this society where we changed from "America - Love it or leave it?" to this era where this country is so concerned about everyone else BUT Americans? If you move to France, you learn to speak French or people look at you like you're a damn idiot. If you go to India and ask for a hamburger, you might get your butt kicked (they worship cows). But here in America, you can come from the utmost pimple in the butt-hole of a jungle on the planet, not speak a fart nor a fingersnap of English and get a driver's license. HOW THE “%#&*” DOES THAT HAPPEN?! The manuals are in 80 million different languages at the DMV, excuse me MVC (Motor Vehicles Commission), but ALL OF THE STREET SIGNS ARE IN ENGLISH!!
Why now do we have to worry about or deal with:
1. Catching Hooga-Booga Simplex 7 from sharing a soda?
2. Kids being suspended from school by pointing a chicken nugget at one another and going "BANG?"
3. Neighbors calling the police on other neighbors for shooting off fireworks ON THE FOURTH OF JULY?! Oh - that one had me really P.O.’d!!
4. Offending people of other nationalities and backgrounds by celebrating Christmas?
OK ... Let's visit that one for a few ... I'm not a big "Gung Ho-Ho-Ho" brother with regards to Christmas. Spend over half a decade working in retail seeing the pettiness of consumers and the greed within the retail industry & you'll see what I mean, but in any case ... Who decided to change "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holidays?" What kind of watered down crap is that? I dare you to go to Saudi Arabia on December 24th and go door to door caroling. You'll probably wind up on CNN or Al-Jazeera getting your head chopped off, but they can come here and we change our entire "American" culture ... as if it wasn't jacked up already!
Not too long ago, one of my co-workers had to do a report at a local middle school because a teacher reported that one of the students was in possession of a weapon. My man came back and told me that the kid was suspended for 10 days ... TEN DAYS. Then he showed me "the weapon." It was a small pair of safety scissors ... the kind with the fat plastic handles made JUST FOR KIDS that you can find in the stationary aisle of any supermarket.
Parents are afraid that they're kids are going to call DYFS, so they don't give `em a good crack when they need one. Remember when I talked about what we went through as kids earlier? WELL WHUPPINS COUNT TOO!! I got those hind-parts tore up when I had it coming, and if I must say so; and I'm not bragging, but, I'm a success in my own right!!
If you have kids, and they get out of line, there is nothing wrong with a well-placed swat to a well-deserving bottom! Your kids won't break. If you want to shoot off some fireworks on the fourth of July and your neighbors want to call the cops, ignore that Communist of a neighbor and invite that poor Patriot of a cop over for a beer when he gets off, because HE WISHES HE WERE WITH HIS PEOPLE DRINKING AND SHOOTING OFF FIREWORKS WITH YOU!!
Most important ... Right around Halloween, the retailers are going to start pushing Christmas - oh wait, my bad ... "HOLIDAY" shopping. There was a time when they would wait until after Thanksgiving, but they figured “let's get that money nice and EARLY!!” So when that time rolls around, STAND UP AND DECLARE THE SEASON FOR WHAT IT IS!! When someone says, "Happy Holidays" to you ... you say in turn to them - "NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS!! And if they tell you that they don't celebrate Christmas, you tell them that they can go back to whatever country doesn't celebrate Christmas and return to America when the season is over.
THIS IS AMERICA ... AND EVEN FOR ALL OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO TALK ABOUT "AFRICA THIS & AFRICA THAT," THERE ISN'T ANY MASS EXODUS IN THE WORKS TO GO BACK TO THE MOTHERLAND!! As a matter of fact for all of the foreigners who we happen to be accommodating, and for all of the crap and pseudo-ethnic superiority that is often thrown upon us as Americans, there are more of them coming into this country than there are going out. The most jacked up part is those, same immigrants can come here from East Ja-Bibba-lonia and get a mortgage and a small business loan faster than those of us who were born here!
THIS IS AMERICA ... LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!And now we'll resume to our regularly scheduled program.
