Detroiters Are Happy That They’re The “Murder Capitol”

Where shall I start? Oh, I know!

Exhibit A

I HATE WHEN NIGGAS.BITCHES. TRY TO GO HARD
ON MY CITY… TALKIN BOUT WE PURE ASS…
WHAT THE FUCK.. DETROIT WE RUN SHIT
MURDER CAPTIAL 313 DETROIT GLOVE FUCK
NEW YORK… 313 RUN SHIT WE GET LIVE
WE KEEP SHYT LOCK… YALL NEW YORKERS THINK YALL TUFF FUCK THAT SHIT… YA’LL SOFT EVERY SINCE SNOOP CRUSH THE BUILDINGZ… SO WHAT THAT SAID IF U FROM NEW YORK JUST KNOW DETROIT RUN U NIGGAS… “WHAT UP DOE”….. P.S YALL NEED TO COME HERE TALKIN THAT SHIT GET YA ASS FUCKED UP

DETROIT NIGGA 313 MURDER MITTEN DIRTY GLOVE MOTOR CITY NIGGA

Ignoramuses like him brag that they might not live to see tomorrow. The fact that they are happy to be statistics. I don’t know if its just that website or they are like that offline but its quite amazing infact. You would think you would have to buy that type of niggery in bottles at your local corner store.

Detroit has, historically, been one of the more violent cities in the U.S.,” says Megan Wolfram, an analyst at iJet Intelligent Risk Systems, a Maryland-based risk-assessment firm. “They have a number of local crime syndicates there–a number of small gangs who tend to compete over territory.” [Source]

I wouldn’t say that what they believe is something to brag about is comical but I can’t help it. Its comical but I can say that those with this mentality is headed down a short and bumpy road. How can anyone be happy that the next time they walk out of their house might be their last? Where in the hell is the joy in that? I guess they brag because people are supposed to fear where they lay their head if they decided to visit there.

When you try t o have a decent conversation about why they feel that this is something to boast about, all they can say is “8-mile for life!” or something close to that. I honestly don’t get what they get out of doing that. What is Detroit doing for them besides making them look like a statistic? I don’t think the city itself is keeping food on their table or clothes on their back. Defending the name of a city isn’t not going to make a turd or get them through school. This 19-28 year olds I’m talking about that have this wild animal mind state.

Bragging about being in a gang, getting shot and living to tell about it is not an accomplishment, its sad as hell. Honestly, where are the parents? Why is the media and other people’s kids being parents for these children? Someone needs to ween these idiots off the idiocy before they have buckteeth and a overbite; well in this case, a body bag or a jail sentence.

The Writers at Young and the Restless Make Me Sick!

It’s a shame when you know whats going to happen before it actually happen. My thing with this soap was that it was good years ago but now they’re throwing all these far-fetched ass story-lines around it’s not making any sense. Sharon goes into labor and Adam just so happens to be there with Dr. Taylor so its obvious he knows about Sharon going into labor and its also obvious that he’s going to try to steal her baby to give to Ashley.

I think if it actually goes down like that, I will no longer be a fan of Y&R. I never liked Bold & the Beautiful but I think I will begin watching that instead of that crap the Young and the Restless writers are conjuring up. What’s so stupid is Ashley’s pregnancy, she has a miscarriage and she’s so stupid to see that she’s not pregnant. Plus what type of mother don’t go to her prenatal appointments? They make her this deranged lunatic and for weeks all she was a soggy ball of tears.

The storyline with Adam is retarded as hell. How long is a blind man going to get away with all of what he’s gotten away with? He’s like Dennis the menace except he’s blind. I truly believe that I can come up with better story-lines than the ones they have come up with. Y&R is getting pretty pathetic, not even the Cancer storyline with Lily is making much sense either. The only sensible thing out of Y&R is the write-out of Colleen.

As of today I’m no longer a fan of Young and the Restless, damn waiting for Sharon to have her baby, I don’t think I can take another agonizing episode of Y&R. The writers messed up a good soap royally.

I would hate to see what this show would look like a year from now.

How the hell is Ashley going into labor in this recent episode? How the hell is Sharon and Ashley having their baby at the same time if Ashley miscarried? How did the writers magically giving Ashley a huge bump if she miscarried months ago? Yea, I’m pissed, the writers suck really damn bad right about now. Good bye Y&R, hello B&B.

Check out my latest and recent rant about Y&R here.

Being Black is a Joke Amongst Other Races

First and foremost, I hate WorldStarHipHop.com they promote niggery shit like its the thing to do. They had that video on there and they found they boy being beaten “funny” and the comments below it didn’t make it ANY better. That is the LAST place a video like that should be. There is nothing funny about getting jumped and losing your life. Damn coons.

This kid lost his life and it sickens me that people would record the fight instead of calling for help. I really hope all those kids end up in jail. That type of behavior makes no damn sense.

This is a perfect example of how parents need to a better job of raising their kids. Secondly this is why us African Americans keep our selves down with hate and insensitive behavior. It is completely understanding why victims of racism! Seriously who would want to live near these people, and give them jobs? What i witness in this video is nothing short of disgusting! Stop having children you can not raise properly, and raise the ones you have with compassion and love!

All those cars that passed by, all those people standing and watching. What the hell happened to people actually using their phones for other things besides “Ooo wait til I get home I’m going to post this on Youtube!”? This is the sole reason to why people of other race will not let that race card against us go. I don’t blame them. Blacks like them are giving them a reason to call us whatever they want and more of a reason for me to be ashamed of them. The look of that video you wouldn’t think that THAT was Chicago, it looks like a Third-World Country!

No kid should have to deal with that nonsense just to go to and from school. I cannot imagine the fear of the “real” parents who are too poor to move their kids out of that area. Will there be grief counselors and other professionals available to the Fenger students? Wouldn’t you be tempted to take a gun to school if that’s the type of drama you had to deal with? If I had the money, I’d give every CPS student a bullet-proof vest and a riot helmet… pass them out right along with textbooks and school ids.

This type of bullshit has got to stop…when are those ghetto ass hoodlums going to say enough is enough? I’ll be dead and gone when that day finally if ever come. Its already bad now I really don’t want to see what later looks like. I feel sorry that that kid had to lose his life like that. If you want to read on the story just click here.

Why are fat women so bitter towards women smaller than them?

I’m not saying ALL fat women give a damn about women smaller than them so don’t even start flipping out because I know most if not all started bitching before they even clicked the got-damn blog. I’m only going by what they say and do based on experience so chill the fuck out. If it don’t apply to you then sit ya ass down and learn something.

Skinny bitches don’t know how to give head like us big bitches do.

First of all, what the fuck? Secondly, what does that have to do with ANYTHING? Thirdly, being hefty, doesn’t mean you can give oral sex better than someone slimmer. That’s like saying dark skinned men go to jail more than light-skinned men do. Either way its fucking idiotic. Sounds to me big bitches just have a bone to pick with women smaller than them because of the fact. Making all these assumptions about women you haven’t fucked won’t make you smaller no matter how many “big bitches are beautiful” meetings you hold.

Skinny bitches don’t know how to keep a man.

Neither does big bitches. They fuck up just like any other woman on this Earth do. A size doesn’t mean shit when it comes to fucking up a relationship. There is no size recommendation when it comes to a man leaving a woman because they fucked up. Yea y’all big broads love to eat and cook and whatever but just keeping a man stomach full because you love to keep yours full doesn’t keep a man in a relationship. If anything, they’re using you because you can cook and you keep food in the house.

Skinny bitches don’t know to fuck a man right because they don’t have enough meat on their bones.

Y’all have too much meat honestly. Since when did the meat on the outside of your body equals to the muscle inside of your body? Whether you big bitches like it or not, there really isn’t much of a difference between vagina‘s. You can’t sit there and say that you can sex better because you’re bigger than the next bitch. That’s just fucking stupid. I don’t understand that though, it seems most of the things that big bitches don’t like about smaller bitches is sex-related.

I just love though how big bitches are steadily talking about women smaller than them but yet they’re hitting up the gym to become the very thing they despise. I don’t think its just health related issues, I think they want what smaller women have. In this day and age, big = ugly no matter how beautiful you are in the face and I’ve seen some very pretty big broads. They weren’t facially challenged at all but when you get down to the body its a different story. In no way shape or form I’m attracted to women, [I had to say that because this complimenting the same sex means you're homo is fucking ridiculous] I just wanted to make a point.

I don’t mean to come of as some vindictive bitch with a chip on their shoulder but this is how I get out what I need to say. Its just amazing how someone who’s different [in size] can get mad because they are big as a Goodyear Blimp. I understand you may have health issues and can’t seem to get rid of the weight, but don’t come up with all these assumptions about women smaller than you. Getting pissed and upset isn’t going to make you smaller, only working out and determination can and will. If you want to be the very bitches you hate then work on it. Don’t hate the size, hate yourself for actually getting pissed at shit you can’t control.

Reblog this post [with Zemanta]

Man how some of y’all bitches stuck up ONLINE though? Lower them standards bitch, no one gives a fuck about that broom stick up ya ass.

Some stupid broad was conversing with and we got to the topic about online men and how they have this persona that’s totally different offline. The subject had nothing to do with her and she began saying, “If they don’t have any money pictures or look like they got money I won’t talk to them”. So I’m like wow, these men could be on the other side of the world not giving a damn about what you think of them and shit but yet you feel that you need to let men know that they have to prove something over and internet connection. I entertained her for a little while longer before she pissed me off saying, “I have high standards when it come to men online, they have to be sexy, smart, rich, straight teeth, clean house, independent, light-skinned, tall, baby mama drama free” and I forget what else she said that was on her long list of bullshit she’ll never get in her life. Anyone can be any of those things online and I’m sure she knows that and if not, she needs to go outside.

I don’t get bitches like her and I don’t think I’m truly supposed to but I can’t help but hope that bitches like her don’t be serious, but they do. They’re stuck-up and have nothing to show for it. They want these men to come to the table with all these qualities about them but they can’t even bring themselves to the table without rollers and scarves in their head with a decent pair of clothes on and a solid education. They want “baby momma drama free men” yet they have 10 kids at 24 years of age. They want these slim, muscle bound men but they fat as fuck and can’t even go up two measly stairs without calling the paramedics. The basically want someone they’re not or want someone who can take care of their asses. I don’t think I can call that being stuck-up or just plain fucking lazy. Either way bitches like that always have their hands out and its a damn shame. They always want change in their life but fail to make a damn dime.

New Update for Xbox 360 [September 2009]

Facebook, Twitter, and Last.FM integration. It doesn’t actually add any of those new features, nor does it add, well, anything. This is purely a preparatory update.You’ll have to download the update in order to sign into Xbox Live, just as you do with any system update, so get it downloaded right away so that you can get right back into playing with your friends.

The upcoming system update — the one that you were hoping for, which includes the aforementioned features and more — is still without a date, but you can expect it to hit before Christmas.

Why though? Why do we need unnecessary updates? Is Nintendo shitting on Sony and Microsoft that bad?

Rumor: Sony dropping Blu-Ray support on the PS3

Sony is working on a new marketing strategy and system.  In order to get the PS3 more market saturation and order to compete in the casual gaming. [Nintendo, Natal, and that whole motion controller]market Sony is working on a new SKU for the slim PS3 that removes the Blu-Ray player itself.    This new SKU removes the most expensive part of the PS3 allowing Sony to drop the price to around $150 and still leave most of the standard PS3 hardware.    I was informed that this new version will also be available in an array of colors and what are being called “tattoos” [skins] for the system and that the first release model will be in white to differentiate  the system from the full PS3 SKUs.
It was also been stated that Sony will release a piggy-back Blu-ray player for this new SKU sometime after launch.  It will connect to the system via the USB port and will offer a full Blu-ray movies and gaming experience.
This arcade version of the PS3 will connect to the PSN, using the built in Wi-Fi in order to download games and demos.  Some of the smaller PS3 games might even show up on the PSN for these arcade users.  I was also informed that Sony is looking into allowing users, using a code, to ‘store’ their digital copy of a movie they have bought for streaming from the PSN.
However in order to cover the costs of the bandwidth needed to download Blu-Ray based games Sony is to create a new ‘Platinum’ pay for version of the PSN for Arcade customers    The standard PSN will still be free but the Platinum version will offer premium  content and exclusives not available  to the free PSN customers and will cost about $49.99 for a full year of access.
Whatever the case may be, I truly…honestly don’t believe that it’ll do much help or damage control that it has already attempted. Whatever though, the Sony PS3 was never worth the price that it was tagged, no matter what they take out or put in it. Its still too damn expensive and dumb.
