A superior blog that looks down its self-righteous nose at American pop culture and hypocrisy.
Ohio judge says: "No crack on the streets . . . or in the courtroom!"
In Ohio, Lorain Municipal Court Judge Mark Mihok held Durrell Brooks in contempt of court on Thursday, June 14, because Brooks’ pants were riding so low, his underwear was showing. The judge then sentenced him, pants and shoulders sagging, to jail for seventy-two hours. Three whole days!
Rodney Glen King: April 2, 1965 - June 17, 2012
Rodney Glen King has died at 47. King’s fiancée, Cynthia Kelly (a juror serving at his civil trial), found him at the bottom of his pool early Sunday morning in Rialto, California.
Last Thursday on May 17, an evil hung over Cleveland like a cloud of black smoke. Below, along the 3000 block of East 125th Street, red and blue lights of the Cleveland Police raged against the dark like fire. With shoes lying in the streets abandoned like too many old and foreclosed homes, for too long, sashed in yellow tape like one huge condemned building, Cleveland has been a bowing wall, a tottering fence.
Hmmm, the child might have more skills than the tattoo artist!
This has to be the strangest tattoo ever. Most parents put their kid’s drawings on the fridge. Some parents feed their children from their mouths when they are too young (and toothless?) to chew their own food. But this parent seems to have taken the human refrigerator theme to an extreme.
Baby Boy Meadows' shirt reads: "I didn't do it."
All points bulletin! Be on the look out! The perp is about 3 feet tall, cute as a bunny, and may be armed with a teddy bear and dangerous lyrics.
Colorado has lost its mind. A first grader was suspended for sexual harassment after reciting lyrics from a popular LMFAO song. D’Avonte Meadows, 6, and a “Hello Cutie” were standing in line for lunch when he “broke into song,” saying, “I’m sexy and I know it.”
It’s the cartoon camel on a pack of cigarettes conundrum: the very group the lyrics attract is least sensitive to their long-term effects. Surely, an innocent six-year-old was merely sampling those got-me-in-trouble words.
Stephanie Meadows, the rogue cutie pie’s mother (who seemed befuddled and is not LHFAO), said she couldn’t believe her son got sent up the river for a song. “I could understand if he was fondling her, looking up her skirt, trying to look in her shirt. That, to me, is sexual harassment,” she said. “I mean, I’m just floored. They’re going to look at him like he’s a pervert. And that’s not fair to him.”
Although this is the second time Baby Boy Meadows, who is a special needs child, has “defiled” the girl with song, Denver lawyers are in an uproar over his 3-day sentence to the crib.
"DNA don't lie."
Nearly pure white cane sugar!
Last night on Finding Your Roots, The Root’s editor-in-chief Henry Louis Gates Jr., host of the PBS program, revealed what so many of us already suspected. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Blackbiter’s very own second place winner of “The White Sugar Awards,” is only 51% African American.
Isn’t it so sad that (while the rest of America is giving birth to losers like George Zimmerman) her brilliant genes end with her?
You deny me an education, then call me stupid. You deny me a job, then call me lazy. The sight of me irritates like the edges of a rock in your shoe. You say I am ugly, but you won’t turn away. Can’t stop staring. I wear a hoodie and avert my eyes. You say I’m suspicious. You set traps and snares for me. You hunt me down to satisfy your own bloodlust.
But I am the animal.
O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? How long shall they utter and speak hard things? And all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
In a starving economy, when non-profits claiming to serve the community become the “we” that can’t hire you because you don’t have a job, it’s enough to cause the innards to churn the bitterest bile. Recently, the Cleveland Foodbank posted an employment ad for a Customer Service Representative that would make you sick to your stomach:
