IMUS TOOK THE BIG FALL!! 

“That’s some nappy-headed hoes there, I'm going to tell you that,”   That is the now infamous comments Imus made on the day after The Scarlet Knights of Rutgers University, which includes eight Black female players, lost the NCAA women’s championship game to the Tennessee’s Lady Vols in a 59-46 victory. The scrappy Rutgers’ team members, none of whom were seniors, beat the odds to make it to the finals after an unlikely start in which they lost four out of the first seven games of the season. This was followed by protest lead by Reverend Jackson and Sharpton, who were doing what they do best. Imus was subsequently fired by MSNBC and CBS radio.

Imus is just what America needs at this time of extreme domestic compliancy!! It was as if Imus had been sitting in a Black barber or Beauty shop. The conversations go, “--those nappy headed Black hoes—Those Black lesbian bitches—How can one Black lesbian bitch eat a whole basketball team?? (LSU Female Basketball coach who made love to her players)- - That Black hoe walks like a natural man—Black bitch has more booty but than big mamma—etc.” And that is what you hear in the Black gathering places. What do you hear in the white sports bars and golf courses??

This should let America know that a dialogue on diversity must take place now. In this case women and Blacks took a hit—But there are wet backs--white bitches—kikes— Chinee--gooks--wops—spicks—ni _ _ers-- Huchee mamas—Stank hoes – and so on it goes!!

Now don’t be so hard on Imus. He is a true American white male wide open, uninhibited, and arrogant. But he was an "Equal Opportunity Insulting” white male. Here are some of the openly confronting statements he did all the time;

NOTE: Every one of these statements came directly out of Imus' mouth on his program. That's striking because Imus usually leaves it to other show regulars (especially McGuirk, the aforementioned point man on "nigger" jokes) to say the most offensive stuff, with Imus feeding them straight lines. It's safer that way.

On blacks:

"William Cohen, the Mandingo deal." (Former Defense Secretary Cohen's wife is African-American.)

"Wasn't in a woodpile, was he?" (Responding to news that former black militant H. Rap Brown, subsequently known as Abdullah Al-Amin, was found hiding in a shed in Alabama after exchanging gunfire with police. Imus is here alluding to the expression "nigger in the woodpile.")

"Knuckle-dragging moron." (Description of basketball player Patrick Ewing.)

"We all have 12-inch penises." (After being asked what he has in common with Nat Turner, Malcolm X, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Latrell Sprewell from the New York Knicks, and Al Sharpton.)

"Chest-thumping pimps." (Description of the New York Knicks.)

"A cleaning lady." (Reference to journalist Gwen Ifill, possibly out of pique that she wouldn't appear on his show. "I certainly don't know any black journalists who will," she wrote in the April 10 New York Times. The Chicago Tribune's Clarence Page used to appear, but after he made Imus pledge not to make offensive comments in the future, he was never asked back.) 

On Jews:

"I remember when I first had [the Blind Boys of Alabama] on a few years ago, how the Jewish management at whatever, whoever we work for, CBS, or whatever it is, were bitching at me about it. […] I tried to put it in terms that these money-grubbing bastards could understand."

"Boner-nosed … beanie-wearing Jewboy." (Description of Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post, a frequent guest.)

On women:

"That buck-tooth witch Satan, Hillary Clinton." […] "I never admitted it when I went down there and got in all that big jam, insulting Bill Clinton and his fat ugly wife, Satan. Did I? Did I ever say I was sorry for that?"

On Native Americans:

"The guy from F-Troop, Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell." (This is a reference to the zany Indian characters on the 1960s TV sitcom F-Troop. They had names like "Roaring Chicken," "Crazy Cat," and "Chief Wild Eagle.")

On Japanese:

"Old Kabuki's in a coma and the market's going up. […] How old is the boy? The battery's running down on that boy." (Reference to Japanese Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi, who died the following week.)

On gays:

"I didn't know that Allan Bloom was coming in from the back end." (The homosexuality of the author of The Closing of the American Mind became widely known when Saul Bellow published Ravelstein, a novel whose protagonist was based on Bloom, who by then was deceased.)

"The enormously attractive [NBC political correspondent] Chip Reid, I can say without being accused of being some limp-wristed 'mo."

On the handicapped:"Janet Reno's having a press conference. Ms. Reno, of course, has Parkinson's disease, has a noticeable tremor. […] I don't know how she gets that lipstick on (laughter) looking like a rodeo clown."

Imus was good at what he did. He truly believed in the propaganda that the white male is superior to all other carbon-based humans and thus immured to the consequences of their transgressions. He was wide open and called a spade a spade regardless to their level of status in Government, Religion, Sex or ethnic background. Even the Pope and Jerry Farwell were not immune. All of his guest knew that thy could be racked over the coals of exposure with a crudeness that left no doubt of their true character.

As the one who had no name told Moses—go down Moses, go down to America, and tell old American hypocritical leaders and media leaders to let my Imus go!

 

 

 

 

IN THE FACE OF THESE CRUEL AND HENIOUS VT KILLINGS BLAME THE VICTUM(S)-BUT WHO ARE THEY?? 

What we as Americans are really trying our best to miss here is the general horror placed on an individual when they are existing at the bottom of a racist social ladder. First, the traditional news media lied again. Cho, the North korean boy at Virginia University, did not so much dwell on the difference between him and the rich as he did between the day in and day birth to death general biasness and oppression of ethnic/racial groups in his life as a North Korean in American society. The question should be asked, “Why do na can Afarcan Americans keep thie sanity under these conditions much better than others??

 The magnitude of this oppression can only really be understood when you look through the eyes of an minority individual in the under class as they try to bare up under the pressures of prejudice and biasisms    No kln placed on a person or an group of people as they try to live in a society that has placed them at the bottom of the group or a less than equal, position.

Can you as a human being feel the intensity of what it is like if you are working in a place where there are a mixed group of Americans (e. g. white, Black, male, female, smart, ignorant. Etc) and they are all laughing, joking, drinking coffee, cooking breakfast and you are excluded not even spoken to all during the eight hour shift. You are not extended a hello in the morning or wish to have a good day when leaving at night. You eat and work alone in the mist of a living pulsating interacting group of people. You are an invisible person. Believe me this is the true life of some Americans. I know this was I!

For a short while in this situation, you will convince yourself that it really does not matter. But the innate human socialization pressures find you trying harder and harder to wedge you a place in this oppressive social group. When it came to the women working in the group you are expected to respect them without looking at them and certainly not giving any indication that you see them as the opposite sex and a candidate for social interaction and pleasure.

Now project this on a child, who is in a biased predominately majority setting. There is play---school—church-competition- etc. Day in and Day out they are the rear end of jokes, pranks, pushes, cracks, or just ignored as if they were not there at all. They are forced to be a loner without really knowing why. They are miserable, sad, and trying to find out what is wrong with them. They do not know that what is wrong is their basic being.  Their group is a prejuged total failure. They have no boy friends and as a boy certainly no girl friends. They are the last called on in class and first to be chastised for any and every little thing. They are the shit on the stick, the but-hole of all the earth in a matter of fact way. They become sad, mad and confused. Finally they want revenge for the hurt that people have heaped on them. In your child you blame your parents, your face, your color, your intellect. They are all your enemies. How strong must one become to take your place in the sun??  This is where these so called signs of deviancy reside that are the hooks on which society develops the need to control your behavior. They do not look at the social pressured that brought you to this sad and dangerous point. They only look for the punishment for your lashing out in the face of these inhuman pressures.

Yes, there are a lot of North Korean boys and girls, Black boys and girls, poor boys and girls, like this. They blame the whites the rich, the powerful, the authorities, the world. The enemy is all around you. They intellectual say that you are bi polar, evil, weak, and insane to let the manifestations of this oppression affect you. You lash out and society will react and deliver you the final blow--!! There is no excuse for killing and revengeful pain—what are the alternatives??

 We are all responsible. I say hurray and life to the media talking heads. They are the perfected ignorance on the lowest of American culture.

My sympathy goes out to all the victims (including Cho) and their families.  Although the media and police(mistakenly once again) tell people the manifesto from Cho were just rambling nonsense.  I must say that I do agree with one of Cho's messages-"You made me do it.  You all have blood on our hands".  WE, as the American society, allowed this to happen.  We have the worst gun violence of an industrialized world because of our "right to arm ourselves". When you combined guns with nuts, tragedy happens. 

We, as the Asian American community also let this happen.  Without a doubt, the traditional highly regarded academic achievement and ONLY academic achievement that tops every honor in the traditional Confucius influenced Asian/Asian American families contribute to the ignorance of Cho's deep rooted mental problem.  My guess is that Cho suffered from some sort of Autism.  I mean, how could he make it all the way to the SENIOR year of Virginia Tech?  How about his family?  Typically 24/7 hard working immigrants who do the best to make money so they can provide for their kids to go to good schools?  Not talking is not a normal thing, of course, unless you did good in school and can make the family "proud".  How could Cho go so far and finish high school and almost college too without failing? In fact, he did better at least academically than most people.  How many "normal" kids you know never went to college?  How many "smart" and "normal" kids you know who took 5 or 6 years to finish college? 

Also, the American media portray that Asian males are often quiet so when many of Cho's schoolmates found out that he did not like to speak.  They just ignored it and probably thought it was "normal" for an Asian male to be this quiet.  

And how about that cancer surviving "heroine" English teacher who kicked Cho out of her class and then "STARED" him down on campus one day to show that she would not let him win?  This is not how you treat a nut case.  He would not understand what you tried to do was to show your "bravery"?  This teacher only pushed him further to drive to an edge. 

We, the whole American Society, were all responsible to create this monster.  Yes, he was the one who pulled the trigger.  But it was his parents who did not know or care that his son was nuts.  Or they were simply too busy working and as long as the son did well in school, nothing was needed to be done.  And those kids in school who thought it was okay to make fun of him.  And those teachers in school who did not intervene and tell the kids that it is not okay to tell Cho to "Go Back to China".  And of course, I can not blame the small town police or campus police for being so incompetent and not doing anything after the 1st shooting.  Well, after all, it is a small town and peace campus, who would know that one shooting would lead to another right?  They think it was just some Taiwanese kids who played fire crackers in the dorm at 7 AM?

Anyway, we are all responsible.  Although Cho spoke little (before his now famous manifesto), all of his "weird" behaviors were his words.  His words of saying that he needed help.  And someone needed to help him.  Most people who tried to help him helped him like a "normal" person.  You can not.  This kid probably was born with Autism and was not diagnosed and treated.  And by being in the American Society, it just made him worse and worse.

GIVE THEM ALL GUNS!!! 

            On CNN again some Americans are saying that to solve the tragedy such as seen in the VT killings we should “give them all guns!”  In fact in the Florida Legislator a bill is being considered to provide guns to the campus people. Lets look at this proposition closely.

Now picture this. On college campuses you provide every little giggling, neive, pretty, young, Blonde girl with a gun for their equalization in times of threats. Then along comes a little mouse, a cockroach, a spider—A girl screams and let lose a shot—then there is another—they shoot themselves in the foot, the knee, The leg—a bullet hits another girl in the face!

Now consider “Bozo and Butch” the playful white boy. He fires off a shot in back of a friend as a joke-The frightened "good-little-old-boys," Biff and Chad, shoots off several rounds—He hit his friend in the chest and the eye—And so on it goes until every student is on the ground shooting at something—they hit the lights—They hit the dogs they hit the birds- There is blood and carnage all over the place! This will go on until all ammunition is exhausted or everyone is hurt and down. Mean while all the Black students were with June Bug and Willie, praying under anything that provided them cover.

            The authorities then rush in and pull the guns from the “cold dead hands of students, Charleston Heston and the gun Lobby!” Sadness falls upon the deep/nation. The psychologist rush in to explain this foolishness. From their book of names they properly label each and every child accordingly as-- bi-polar, sycophantic, ADHD, neurotic, manic-depressive, etc. The media talking heads do what they do best and over analyze the simple little details, really bazaar, and ridiculous. Politicians ask how did this happen let allocate some funds to homeland security for this. All is done that will be done. God is still in his heaven and happy to be there.

THE REAL LEGACY OF GOVERNOR JEB BUSH!!!
 As Governor Jeb Bush prepares to exit he is desperately trying to establish a record of his legacy. Why is there no rebuttal to his view of the downsizing, out sourcing, dissolution of agencies receive little press coverage
.
In the Sunday, December 9, 2006 issue of Tallahassee Democrat he is saying that his outsourcing and downsizing has helped the economy of Tallahassee and his total activities has raised Florida's economy and productivity to unprecedented levels!! (Bill Cotterell , Jeb to Tallahassee: You're welcome, Originally published December 10, 2006, Outgoing governor argues his cuts have helped, not hurt, local economy) But there is another truth to his strong slash, burn and bull dose tactic as governor? Further, Jeb Bush did not see it necessary to set in place mechanisms to evaluate the effectiveness of these outsourcing and downsizing of agencies. Results of state audit inconclusive. Bill Cotterell writes, "Three years into Gov. Jeb Bush's massive privatization of agency personnel services and his online state purchasing service, auditors say it's impossible to document taxpayer savings on the ''People First'' contract with Convergys or the MyFloridaMarketPlace system. (Bill Cotterell, 2006 Results of state audit inconclusive, Originally published December 12, 2006)
 
Can you remember his investment with his family friend "Kenney Boy" Lay with the company Enron. (Joan Claybrookm Florida Gov. Jeb Bush: About You and Enron, February 14, 2002) This $350 million investment of The Florida Retirement Funds was lost quickly and without any explanation or apology from our governor. Kenneth Lay was later convicted of fraud and sentenced to prison. But low and behold Kenneth was reported to have died before he started to serve his lenient sentence. But rumor has it that Kenney boy and Elvis have been spotted on the beaches of Aruba! Well, what is new Kenneth like most CEOs these days, was conducting business in the criminal lane or out-side-the-box so why not expect him to be "laid to rest" out-side-his casket(box) (Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman, The 10 Worst Corporations of 2004, AlterNet,
December 12, 2006, http://www.alternet.org/story/21088/) 

.
Then how do you convenience yourself that downsizing with the accompanying loss of thousands of jobs in Tallahassee at about $40,000.00 per position has helped the economy. The number of established positions in the state personnel system has fallen by about 12,000 in Bush's second term. He has aggressively pursued "outsourcing" of what Bush terms "noncore" functions of state agencies, such as personnel services and data management, while increasing the use of computers in government. If there
