About 10 years ago Brazil exported to the US the low-rider ass revealing hip hugger jeans that became all the rage of women and girls from 10 to 50. It came to represent a Sign of the Subprime Times of excess and indulgence. Today there appears to be a pendulum swing in the denim wars towards the high waisted paunch enhancing jeans of the hip Hollywood set.I saw a somewhat rotund blond haired, 20 summin black woman strolling down the street on the way from the gym this morning with 3 1/2 inches of ass crack bursting out of her dungarees and an exposed midriff that looked like it was fresh off a C section. (Damn! Where's my iPhone?) I smiled. She smiled. I stopped. She stopped. "What's your name?" I dropped. "Sheila" she popped. "Sheila I like your bop, and that's a cute top. But sista, your ass is showing. You need to stop. Now I aint tryin' to fuss, but from a brother to a sister, enough is enough." She giggled, flashed a smile and continued to walk. After a few steps she looked back, tugged at her jeans, and tried to cover her crack. Now don't nobody ever say DV aint give back.

You're attitude with this woman was vastly different from your attitude with the drag queen cat.I think someone said it was an alpha dog thing, and I think that's what happened. With this sister you were just letting her know what's up, but with the cat it was almost like you were trying to get him to submit.
You know, persistent eye contact, aggressive behavior. That's interesting.

But Big Man is that really true?
Isnt the aggression something you're reading into the Starbucks scenario?
While not what I would do, a true act of agression at the Starbucks drive through would have gone more like
"DV refuses tea from gay dude, demands to be served by someone else, and then acts a huge ass over the simple mistake re: the drink order."
IMHO, DV exhibited the same amount of "nerve" with the scantily clad woman and the Starbucks dude. Further, I know he agrees and posted this post just to see how claims of discrepancy this post would receive.

Ohhh so NOW you decide not to snap a photo?! LOL.

Did you really kick it exactly like that? Does DV employ an iambic pentameter rhyme scheme in his everyday dialogue? LMAO.
That, my brother, was fatherly/brotherly love right there. Today you actually did give back.
The crazy thing is, that girl will listen to a man. I could have walked up and bestowed the exact same wisdom and it would have been discarded. Good job.
To the Prince,
Pictures please!!!!!
You got it RJ, sorry about that. Life has been so..different lately.

LOL. What up Prince?! That's some funny shit. I feel you man. I can get a photo of dude in a wig but not Ms. Ass Crack.
LOL. My luck.
"Did you really kick it exactly like that? Does DV employ an iambic pentameter rhyme scheme in his everyday dialogue? LMAO."
Did I kick it like that? Do I rhyme?
LOL. Shit man, half the time I don't know what I'm going to say. I hear the words when they fly out my mouth.
Whether a booga bear or a dime. I spit jewels not lines. My thoughts transcend time. My words sometime sublime. Conformity is a crime. Never in my lifetime. Fightin' evil is my pastime. On Sunday I got a teetime. Wife was so fine, had to make her mine. See DV? That means it's schooltime. I'm ready when it's wartime. This blog need to be on primetime.
Big Wayne, even when I don't rhyme... I rhyme.

Robyn - you really need to ask somebody about the physical manifestations of male aggression.
What you described above was an expression of mildly hysterical fear, the type of shit a female or hypogonadal male might be inclined to act out when *upset* by somebody.
While that thought ferments, the original blogpost was a souvenir of the act of aggression toward the bewigged ATL cabinboy.
What makes it so interesting is the specious moralizing that accompanied it. My man Denmark Vesey indulges a mean streak of archaic identity politics given *conservatism's* status as the original and most malleable and subtle arbiter of *otherness*.
Cnu, I did the best I could. I'm all female and just trying to make point on a blog not abdicate my womanhood. I trust you got the point sans a scenario where DV put hands on the lost soul.
I get the last post, I just think there were more "aggressive" acts DV could have taken than callin ol boy "my man."
Thank you Robyn,
I was beginning to wonder.
You see, what brother Big Man suspects was hostile and what Brother CNu is determined to interpret as moralizing I submit was an ... act ... of ... love.
Treating a man like a man is an act of love. Treating a fool like a fool is an act of love.
Pretending a man is a woman and pretending mental illness is healthy is an act of conformity, fear and selfishness.
I saw a handsome, 6'4" athletic black man ... with a French manicure and a blond wig. I expected more of him and dared communicate it.
What I saw in his eye was not mere hurt. He was not simply offended. He was surprised. I acknowledged his worth as a person instead of patronizing him as a freak.
I submit DV's visit through the Drive Thru, was more valuable to you know who, than a visit by my man CNu - who suggests we treat a man like a boo.
What up, DV. You still in ATL?
"Pretending a man is a woman and pretending mental illness is healthy is an act of conformity."
Agreed.
"I expected more of him and dared communicate it."
How could you have developed expectations of an individual you interacted with all of 20 secs over an intercom system, who sounded like this:
"Welcum ta starhbuuucks. May I tayk ya orduhr?"
"You see, what brother Big Man suspects was hostile and what Brother CNu is determined to interpret as moralizing I submit was an ... act ... of ... love."
From your perspective, I completely understand how you could perceive it this way, but do you think HE felt the love? If not, who did. A key component to doling out the love is the roles you play in on another's lives. In this case, Cnu put it best:
" One of the hallmarks of being a father for real, IMOHO is knowing when the role you model is substantial enough and connects enough to make a difference and leave a lasting impression, or, whether you're just mechanically striking a pose."
CNU can write his ass off.

Where I make that suggestion at?

co-sign the Prince kwestin, do you think HE felt the love?
and,
do you think HE'd feel the love if he chanced upon DV.blogspot and saw himself as you've described?
Does it matter?
If so, why?
Whats up II, longtime.
"Does it matter?
If so, why?"
I'd say so.
What good is offering love, or anything for that matter, if it is not received and perceived as such?
"What good is offering love, or anything for that matter, if it is not received and perceived as such?" Prince
A child spanked for running out in the street, receives an act of love, but certainly does not receive it or perceive it as such.
It is an act of love, so good, it can save his life.
"co-sign the Prince kwestin, do you think HE felt the love?" CNu
He felt someone taking him seriously as a man, not PATRONIZING HIM, as a freak. Whether he interpreted that as love is dependent upon his cognitive capacities.
Regardless, it. was. love.

Feel love? No.
Experience love? Yes.
Chance upon DV.net?
Not unless Mike Fisher's day job is at Starbucks - that's a nonevent.
Why you put that picture of me up there?
(BTW, I peed in your tea)
Does it matter?
If so, why?
Cause food service workers can phuk you up if you piss them off!!!
Seriously.
Yet more seriously, is the orthodox principle that holds ethical praxis toward others (literally, what you do for them) as the only meaningful embodiment of spiritual development. It's a thin line between diakrisis, syneidesis and phronesis - and - simple narcisism and erotomania...,
The risk of ending up with a little more flavoring in the green tea is something that DV perhaps should have considered. LOL!
Yet more seriously, is love a commodity that we trade as a quid pro quo or is it an expression of the love we feel for ourselves; an expression of the Godhead within us?
Can love ever be conditional?

LOL! Ahhhhh!!! LOL
I aint going to lie Mike. I thought about that when homeboy came back with my beverage. If he was gone longer than 5 or 6 seconds I wouldn't have touched that cup with steel prongs.

CNu
I don't really know that means CNu ... All I know is a Power Forward dressed like Mary J. Blige is better served by a mirror - than a defacto participant in his charade.
"Yet more seriously, is love a commodity that we trade as a quid pro quo or is it an expression of the love we feel for ourselves; an expression of the Godhead within us?

Ahhhhhh .... Now we talkin'.
diakrisis, syneidesis and phronesis
self-examination, conscience, and practical wisdom in one's dealing with others - informed by self-examination and conscience.
simple narcisism and erotomania...,"
self-absorption, preoccupation and projection.
"self-absorption, preoccupation and projection."
Ahhhh ... like me, MLK and Jesus.
Agreed.
" A child spanked for running out in the street, receives an act of love, but certainly does not receive it or perceive it as such.

Kinda true, but not completely. Generally, the one doing the spanking has or will explain to the child the consequence of running into the street or say...touching the hot pot on the stove:
"Baby, you can get burned really badly if you touch that pot."
The act of spanking is proceeded or preceded by an explanation as to why the spanking has occurred or will occur. This is the other half of the spanking love. The relationship is key.
I hate to do this (not really), but I gotta quote Cnu again:
" One of the hallmarks of being a father for real, IMOHO is knowing when the role you model is substantial enough and connects enough to make a difference and leave a lasting impression, or, whether you're just mechanically striking a pose."
Cnu can write his ass off. From now on I think I'm just gonna email Cnu my takes and tell him to write for me. That cool Cnu? LOL.
DV...
"I aint going to lie Mike. I thought..."
Who, me? I done told you about that telemaque shyt.
In any case. I understand your predilection. We do know that you, as a true man, have a preference for thin, certain-body-type-havin', light-skinned, chicas like this.
Now this feminine beauty could serve you tea any day of the week, Yes, DV? ;)
Sometimes sistas just need to be TOLD. The truth is a powerful weapon.
