You should free your mind Konwoman. Firstly by anointing Ms. Winfrey or Ms. Obama as Baddest Bitch, completely changes the meaning. Instant meme change. See Mike and Kon, Black ppl haven't yet learned the beautiful art of reappropriation. That's what this blog is about. It's about taking our power back... If Oprah is a bad bitch, how can "bad bitch" be negative??? If Michelle is a BB isn't that something to aspire to?? If Obama is the Dopest Nigga? A "nigga" is a good thing.That's what a nigga is! Words are images. DV is changing the imagery that comes to mind when u think "nigga". The word WILL BE USED! Either you disarm the user by reappropiation or you make yourself a victim. White kids already rfer to themselves as nigga as an indicator of masculinity. James Brown helped do it with the word Black. Plantation negroes hated that word because they were too focused on the meaning white ppl gave it. (preach young brotha preach) We gave it our own meaning. "Im Black and Im proud. Have you looked up Black in the dictionary???- illmathividualyricalmiracle
DV - did you see the "Street Abortion" that took place right outside of Jamie Hector's baby shower?

Wow. That's a damn shame CF.
ReplyDeleteThis street crime is out of control.
What must lose 30 or 40 black people a day to street crime.
Before we know it we will lose more black people to street crime than the 1400 black children we lose each day to abortion.
DV: Who would care for, love and raise those 1400 black children per day otherwise "lost" to abortion? The mothers who didn't want them in the first place?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question UB.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly the one most asked by neo-Malthusians.
As strange as it may sound to you UB, I submit that the children otherwise "lost" (why that word is in parenthesis is telling) to abortion would be cared for, loved and raised by their PARENTS.
... I submit that the children otherwise "lost"... to abortion would be cared for, loved and raised by their PARENTS.
ReplyDeleteThis is the crux of the biscuit, DV. Because a child can only be cared for, loved and properly raised if it is wanted. Seems like you're making a case for bringing millions more unwanted babies into the world. (For if they'd been wanted, they wouldn't have been aborted.)
Perhaps the key social problem at issue is reducing unwanted pregnancies. Which can and should be done regardless of the availability of legal abortions.

ReplyDeleteUBM:
This is why knowing the ENTIRE SET OF POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES for your actions is so critical.
With the knowledge that getting some booty and ejaculating on the inside, despite having it feel so good - also triggers the process of gestation of YOUR OWN SEED - one would think that for a people who have struggled for so long to have SOCIETY "value" them, that these same people would initiate means for valuing themselves.
What greater honor is there but to order yourself on the front end so that you are not put in a position of having to make a "TERMINAL CHOICE"?
"Because a child can only be cared for, loved and properly raised if it is wanted." UBM
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
However. If I may. A couple of things:
1) Let's be careful how we define "want". My experience is that what human beings "want" changes over time.
What often started out - "What the fuck you mean 'you THINK you are pregnant'", later became "I love my son more than life itself".
True there are irresponsible people in the world. Yet I think a society that promotes irresponsible sex on one end, and 'abortion as a contraceptive' on the other end is inviting spiritual disaster.
2) If we tacitly approve the elimination of "unwanted" portions of the population - why stop at unborn children?
Why not end the lives of unwanted criminals? Why not end the lives of unwanted retarded people? Why not end the lives of unwanted HIV Positive people?
Why not end the lives of people so "unwanted" they cannot find a mate?
Why not end the lives of unwanted obese Walmart "feeders" on Medicaid and disability?
Why not make people unable to pay their mortgages agree to be sterilized in order to qualify for a "bailout"?
Once we license the industrialized slaughter of "unwanted" children, do we not pre-approve the slaughter of an inevitably expanding list of "unwanteds".
3) Who EXACTLY determines "wanted"? Earlier you seemed comfortable with the Ruth Ginsbergs of this world positioned as the arbiters of human existence. Please elaborate on that strange demonstration of faith.
The world will soon be divided into the Chosen and the Unwanted.
Who would care for, love and raise those 1400 black children per day otherwise "lost" to abortion? The mothers who didn't want them in the first place?
ReplyDeleteGood question. Even wealthy black celebs like Michael didn't want none of that.
So it basically boils down to the law of supply & demand, whereby:
Black babies = high supply, low quality & low demand = surplus overstock
Maybe the real problem here isn't aborting them off..but idiots making too damn many of them in the first place? Why can't negroes just stop breeding so much and cut back on unwanted production here?
Well Byrdeye, what can we say?
ReplyDeleteOur penises work.
Whereas you Plantation Crackas are increasingly limited to Test Tube babies.
It seems as if all of that R-game hyper industrialization has poisoned your little testicles.
Slow Collective Suicide. In the grand scheme of things, no smarter than Dodo birds.
All this bullshit about "unwanted" is unbelievable. Got Black folks sounding like Margaret Sanger, ready to take the baton on her Negro Project.
ReplyDeleteJust because a kid's mother is single or poor doesn't make the kid unwanted.
You want to know which kids are UNWANTED? The kids in the burbs whose mothers are more concerned with plastic surgery, so-called high-powered jobs and shopping, leaving their children to be raised by nannies.
That's unwanted. Just because the kid wears Kitson clothes and has a room in a big house doesn't make it anymore "wanted" than the latchkey kid whose mom is a hoodrat.
I submit that the suburban "unwanted" kids are the greater threat to society, as they grow up to be greedy lawyers, investment bankers and politicians, having no empathy, mercy or love because their parents gave them none growing up. Hence, we end up with Enron, Worldcom, Arthur Andersen, etc. Greedy mf'ers who rob people of billions, and laugh all the way to the bank.
Doctors like the vipers surrounding Michael Jackson who keep patients addicted to harmful drugs.
All the while, the self-rightous Plantation zombies are waving their fingers at the allegedly "unwanted" small-time thieves and drug dealers, complaining that they should have been aborted on the front end or imprisoned later on.
They would never say that shit about Kenneth Ley and Bernie Madoff. EVER.
But I suspect that there is a whole lot of projection going on. The more one refers to others as "unwanted" brings pause to wonder just how "wanted" they ever were.
^ Well... you can't get more "unwanted" than being destroyed in utero.
ReplyDeleteSure you can David.
ReplyDeleteThere is no more "unwanted" than someone who has to pay for pu$$y.
^ Ouch. Are you you sayin' he's gotta pay for it?
ReplyDelete" There is no more "unwanted" than someone who has to pay for pu$$y."
ReplyDeleteIs there a distinction between those who have to pay and those who chose to pay?
If so, what is it?
If not, why not?
