Int. Car. Saturday AfternoonI'm driving my sons and one of their friends to boxing practice. We are listening to Jay-Z's new album The Blue Print 3. The young lad in the back seat speaks up: "Mr. Vesey! Isn't it true that Jay-Z patented his own color?"
My oldest son chimes in with a sarcastic: "No! That's stupid. How are you going to patent your own color? Give me a break."
I interrupt: LOL. Come on now. Be cool man. Don't say that. Now, one more time. What was that about Jay-Z?
"Isn't it true Jay-Z patented his own color? Like. I mean. He invented his own color. I think it's a version of blue or something. Now anybody who uses this blue has to pay him money. Right?"
I chuckle. Uh ... Not sure 'bout that little man. If so, I haven't heard anything about it. Wow. That would be interesting.
Little Fella continues: "Yeah. Jay-Z is a beast! He's like Sooooooo rich. He like owns the Knicks. When I grow up I'm going to buy the Lakers."
My oldest boy rolls his eyes and hits him with the "Yeah right. You'll never be like Jay-Z."
I laugh to myself and reach down to turn up Empire State of Mind. I look in the rear view mirror and watch this American child of affluent parents stare out the window fantasizing about growing up to be like S Dot Carter from Marcy Projects. Ha! Talk about a switch. Just a generation ago Plantation Negros lamented never being able to grow up to be like white people. Hip Hop flipped the script. Got the oppressor imitating the oppressed. Hustle Hard.
Jay-Z "Drives" in 2007 with a New HustleJay-Z continues his takeover of the corporate world by lunging into the auto market. Hov has teamed up with the world's leading automaker, General Motors, to usher in a concept GMC Yukon Denali SUV. The main attraction with the SUV is its "Jay-Z Blue" color, a stylish hue of reflective blue designed by Jay-Z and General Motors.
A star-studded party was thrown by GM Corp. on the eve of media previews for their International Auto Show. Other celebrities invited to escort GM's new vehicles include: Vivica A. Fox, Carmen Electra, Rosie Perez, and Jennifer Hudson.

shades of 1977 during the peak of the oil crisis, gas guzzling lead sleds were peddled to kneegrows with their noses opened fresh out of a cycle of blaxploitation cinema and sadly some folks were foolish enough to bite on this rotten okey doke. po folk with postage stamp sized clapboard houses and a gas-guzzling automotive whale parked across the front yard - is it any wonder that two generations hence, these folks and their chirren remain po and GM is on its way out of business?
Young white (and other) kids have always embraced and sought to emulate various ethnic heroes - from blues kings to Bruce Lee.
Nothing new about that. Nor does it mean much more in the overall scheme of things. Just cuz you envy a wealthy Black celeb don't mean you like the Black welfare thugs infesting your hood.
Admiring someone rich who happens to be Black isn't the same as admiring Blacks or admiring him because he's Black. And it could even be admiring him in spite of the fact he's Black.
^^ Agreed. How the FUCK can GM be THE "world's leading automaker" when they are BANKRUPT???
Oh, I see that was back in 2007.
Ironically, it's due in part to ridiculous marketing stunts like these that they went under. Real Americans want quality cars, not just blingy crap endorsed by some hip-hop fool.
Peak oil?
LOL.
What? You aint get the memo CNu?
Think you fell for another Malthusian hoax bra.
Don't tell me you one of them Muhfuggas fell for the "Peak Oil" hoax back in the 70's and have spent the past 3 decades tooling around all cramped up in little light weight unsafe hooptie feeling all warm and fuzzy because you squeezing out 24 mpg's.
LOL
In the mean time oil been spurtin' out the earth as abundantly as rain has been falling on it.
Today's SUV's are living rooms on wheels
Sorry to poke a hole in another misanthropic excuse to kill off a huge portion of the human population CNu ... but "Peak Oil" is as big a pot of bullshit as "Global Warming".
There aint no energy crisis. There never has been no energy crisis . . . except as it has been produced by the Plantation for the purpose of controlling Plantation Negros and Plantation Crackas.
Get you one of Jay-Z's whips. Throws some D's on that bitch.
And some people were upset when Larry King said that his son thought that "...being Black is cool...".
The young squire King has grown up in a generation that has - a Black President, Hip-Hop dominating the charts (and schools), Tiger Woods, James Stewart, Venus and Serena, the death of MJ getting as much air time as any cultural event, and a list of other "firsts" that many white youths may view as normal.
Most kids wish they could emulate whomever is considered cool - but most settle for corporate jobs instead.
You right on time John.
But peep. Is there any kid in America wants to grow up to be Henry Louis "I'm 50% White!" Gates?
Any kids in America want to be Harold Ford Jr.?
Any kids, black or white, want to grow up to be Bob Johnson?
Any kids want to be DMG, Negro MD?
Any kids black or white kids want to be Ken Chenault?
Apparently not very many.
Interesting gap between what many of us assume kids SHOULD want, and what they actually do want.
What? You aint get the memo CNu?
C'mon DV..,
Don't make me come back with data.
You my boy'n'shit.
Whatever you do, don't go out like one of these plaid-flannel wearing whooties I bury daily - just to pass time.
Aight?
Ha!
That's cute CNu.
But it's your white lab coat and pocket protector wearin' white boy scientists ... oops... I mean Scientists who told you oil is made of finite supply of "dead dinosaurs", fossilized in the earth's crust - who you need to bury.
Hoax bra.
Dem crackas got ya fooled.
They don't know how much fucking oil is under the earth's surface.
The fear of running out of oil is more powerful than the oil itself.
Hoax bra.
sigh....,
aight, aight...,
show me the basis of your claim that it's a hoax.
please splaina me why;
Fatih Birol
Matthew Simmons
and Lewis Smith all conspirin to trick me?
Bra ...
The "Peak Oil Hoax" is based on a theory from Plantation textbooks, which claim oil is a fossil fuel, biological residue of either fossilized dinosaur remains or algae.
Think about it: Oil, petroleum ... all of it ... comes from dinosaurs. Dino. Yaba Daba Doo.
(Talk about a Conspiracy Theory)
Peep:
"Confessions of an "ex" Peak Oil Believer by F. Willaim Engdahl (Jan. 22, 2008)
Biological origin is central to Peak Oil theory, used to explain why oil is only found in certain parts of the world where it was geologically trapped millions of years ago.
That would mean that, say, dead dinosaur remains became compressed and over tens of millions of years fossilized and trapped in underground reservoirs perhaps 4-6,000 feet below the surface of the earth.
In rare cases, so goes the theory, huge amounts of biological matter should have been trapped in rock formations in the shallower ocean offshore as in the Gulf of Mexico or North Sea or Gulf of Guinea. Geology should be only about figuring out where these pockets in the layers of the earth , called reservoirs, lie within certain sedimentary basins.
An entirely alternative theory of oil formation has existed since the early 1950’s in Russia, almost unknown to the West. It claims conventional American biological origins theory is an unscientific absurdity that is un-provable. They point to the fact that western geologists have repeatedly predicted finite oil over the past century, only to then find more, lots more.
Not only has this alternative explanation of the origins of oil and gas existed in theory. The emergence of Russia and prior of the USSR as the world’s largest oil producer and natural gas producer has been based on the application of the theory in practice. This has geopolitical consequences of staggering magnitude."
The "Peak Oil Hoax" is based on a theory from Plantation textbooks, which claim oil is a fossil fuel, biological residue of either fossilized dinosaur remains or algae.
sigh...,
nah.
The fact of peak oil depends in no way at all on the as yet to be determined origins of oil.
Net available energy has declined in excess of 5% since 2005 - and that's a fact.
The only factor that matters in the peak oil discussion, is the economics of oil recovery, i.e., energy returned on energy invested. EROEI.
Since I'm sure I've reached the end of short attention span theater here, and heads may be beginning to hurt, let me just bust you a cartoon and keep it all very simple, straight up, and plain.
is jay.z a freemason?
"Net available energy has declined in excess of 5% since 2005 - and that's a fact." CNu
Huh?
Whaaaaaaa?
Whey dem bumbaclot get dat frum?
Come on now CNu. Who told ya that?
Net "available" energy?
You giving them polysyllabic white boy atheists too much credit CNu. They jerkin' your chain.
How the fuck they calculate "available" energy?
Whoever did that is a baaaaaad muhfuggah.
Smart. Smart as God actually. To possess knowledge of ... "Net Available Energy". That's some omnipotent clairvoyant shit there bra.
The "economics of oil recovery", CNu, is a function of politics and the manipulation of energy availability to control peasants.
The "Peak Oil" conspiracy theory implies there is a finite amount of oil and we are on the verge of exhausting it.
THEY DON'T FUCKING KNOW THAT.
Now, I know that's disappointing to ya'll Malthusians just looking for a reason to kill off half of humanity. But it's the truth. Just find another reason.
How about ... "Peak Ho's".
Not enough pussy to go around.
How the fuck they calculate "available" energy?
Whoever did that is a baaaaaad muhfuggah.
Oil production on an "all liquids" basis was flat for the years 2005, 2006, and 2007 and began declining in 2008-2009. On an energy available basis, production declined. There are several reasons for this:
• The "All Liquids" summary includes lower energy products like ethanol and natural gas liquids. These have been growing, while crude oil production has tended to slightly decline since 2005.
• The oil produced requires more and more energy in extraction, because it is mixed with more and more water, and is found in deeper and deeper locations. More energy is required for extraction, leaving less for end users.
• If we look at oil available for imports, this has been declining since 2005. Part of the reason is the greater amount of oil used in extraction; part of the reason is that the standard of living in oil exporting nations is rising, so these nations are using more of the oil themselves, leaving less to export.
Net available energy from all petroleum liquids has declined by ~5% since 2005.
The "Peak Oil" conspiracy theory implies there is a finite amount of oil and we are on the verge of exhausting it.
No it doesn't.
There is no such conspiracy.
There are simple statements of measurable fact - which is precisely why I sent you a cartoon presentation that a child could follow to understand EXACTLY what Peak Oil means, and, what the actual issue entails.
Now, I know that's disappointing to ya'll Malthusians just looking for a reason to kill off half of humanity. But it's the truth. Just find another reason.
Don't pause long enough to disentangle the factual message from the fact-based messenger DV. I'm not looking for anything other than the precise shape of what's around that signpost up ahead.
Since I deal in precision, I can't settle for hand wavy Alex Jones/David Livingstone gobbledegook. Sorry.
That a die-off/kill-off is coming is entirely beyond dispute. The only thing that's really in question is exactly how and when?
DV
"They point to the fact that western geologists have repeatedly predicted finite oil over the past century, only to then find more, lots more."
DV is there a finite amount of fresh drinking water in the world? Or how about trees? So why not crude oil reserves??? If that's not the case you should start drilling in your backyard... Cash in kid!
Fresh water replenishes itself via precipitation, but not into groundwater aquifers, and those comparatively irreplaceables have been driven near to exhaustion in many regions of the U.S..
Certain localities, like say Nevada and Arizona, where large human settlements have NO means of support whatsoever and are propped up exclusively by high-energy artifical means, are already doomed.
So-Cal and ATL are well on their way to demise via overuse of scarce freshwater resources.
That said, Detroit MI, on the banks of the great north american inland sea(s) is in a position to experience a renaissance when TSHTF waterwise in some of those other localities....,
Cnulan
Or an invasion.
If water becomes that precious, you think they just gonna let the cats in Detroit sit on it and get rich.
Not I.
Anyway, I see your point about TSHTF, but I'm curious why you never think that there could some spectacular eruption of human ingenuity that prevents this from happening. A way to convert saltwater to drinking water cheaply. A new cleaner and renewable energy source. I mean, I can see the future you imagine, but I can also see something unexpected occurring.
but I'm curious why you never think that there could some spectacular eruption of human ingenuity that prevents this from happening
because what cultivated this stagnant killer-ape species is intent on harvesting its crops..., and the apes for their part are perfectly contented to amuse themselves to death until the reaper comes.
Explain your thoughts on that.
Cause my impression of you was that you rejected the idea of God as a being.
But, your response sounds as if that might not be the case. I'm just curious cause I like to know what people think.
Big Man,
What on earth led you to associate the idea of a "reaper" with God?
Everything in the universe that lives, eats. Everything beneath the absolute and the merciless hieropass serves as food for something else.
It's time, at a bare minimum, for the killer-apes to do their being duty and feed the moon, and perhaps something else, as well....,
Well, my personal worldview led me to read your comment as a mention of God.
However, since I've read so many other things you've written, I figured that seemed off, which is why I asked the question I did.
I know you like cloaking stuff in mystery to tease us cats without your extensive personal library, but how exactly would humans feed the moon?
Is that some sort of literary reference? Or part of some alternative spiritual theory?
I'm honestly just curious, not trying to debate.
Oh, and why say hieropass instead of just saying "time."
You really do love words. You remind me of this cat I work with.
