Professor and Ricci are sick of nigga shit

ORIGINALLY POSTED BY THE PROFESSOR on FRIDAY APRIL 27, 2007

I have a response brewing to this post, and believe it, "nigger vs. nigga" and perhaps the "4-dead in Kansas City..." may get copied to each month because they need to be seen and are, sadly, consistantly current problems in the USA.

Please study the below clip of this Chris Rock standup CLOSELY. What he is saying..word for word..IS CORRECT.

I have been saying that Black people are about 600-800 years away from being "normalized" in the United States of America. My theory is that, in order to consider ourselves actually "free" from the affects of slavery, we have to be "out" of said slavery at LEAST as long as we were "in it"..plus 200 more years.

Doing the math, that places us "in" slavery for 400 years, freed from slavery for 142 years; then we must add 258 to get to the requisite number of years "out" of slavery that Black people were "in" it (that being 400); plus 200.

Thus, the minimum year that American Black people should ALL be "normalized" "Americans", with no hang ups, [here] no "hustle" mentality, [here] no penchant to fight just because they feel they were disrespected [here] [here], no cities where gun violence and fratricide are a WAY OF LIFE [here], where there is no "honor" in "not snitchin'" [here], where drugs are legal BUT Black people dont have to make Marijuana a "religion [here]; where Black people are seen as just regular people without the stigma of crime, con artistry, unemployment, victimization, ignorance, violence and death as their foretold lots in life... That year is 2515 AD. That's right, the 26th century. I added 50 years for good measure.

I figure, by THAT time, all this (what Ricci and I like to call..) "nigga shit" should be ancient history. Sort of like seeing a "viking" today sailing in a wooden boat and landing at the Santa Monica pier. Or having a visogoth walk down the middle of Cherry Hill, NJ. People would think he was part of a parade or something. Eventually, these time travelers would realize that their time is over and THANK GOD FOR IT. You see, Mongols, and Huns, and Vikings, and Romans, as well as Spartans, Nazis, klansman, hip-hop generation gangsters, crips, bloods, killer hutus, killer tutsis, radical islamists, , current murdering Philadelphians... These peoples' time is UP. Some dont realize it yet..but their time is done. By 2515 it should all be ancient history and we'll all be better off for it.

Right now, I 'd like to give us Black folks a "pass". I mean, we've only been out of slavery for a measley 142 years. In Earth time, that is incalculably small. Literally. In Earth time that finite bit of time isn't worth a decimal. And look at what we've accomplished since then! The list of Black achievement is nearly endless. BUT.. much of that achievement is negated by the magnitude of our collective ignorance and lack of self respect. We kill each other as if we are in a civil war. Blinded by greed and seduced by power, we seem inebriated with "the dark side" of the Force. And we all know what happens to folks who love the "dark side" [here] [here].

Some of you will think I'm as big an idiot as Jason Whitlock (me and Ricci like to call him Shit-lock or "Fat"-lock). Well, sorry folks, I'm not that stupid. Whitlock blames hip-hop for all our society's ills. I believe hip-hop is just "music". Period. Hip-hop grew out of the society, not the other way around. In other words, Hip-Hop is not "creating" society..Society "creates" the Hip-Hop. And even as much as I think Whitlock is a dumbass, I still wouldn't think of physically "harming" him, under any circumstances. I'd rather debate him. He might even turn out to be a nice guy, just "misinformed".

The problem is cultural. It's an American thing. And we ARE Americans FIRST and FOREMOST. I do not think Black people truly realize this. And THAT is a direct consequence of slavery. We dont even really know if we "belong" here. ..142 years later and we still dont really know(??)

I'm not sure how many of us have to rip somebody off or get ripped off. How many of us have to get shot, or shoot somebody. How many of us have to get pregnant knowing full well we can get an abortion and only good things will come of it. How many of us have to lie to someone in order to "get over". I'm not sure how long it will take before we get it into our heads that we BELONG HERE. This is OUR Country. We dont have to FUCK it up. You dont HAVE to take that money to kill that "nigga". Life doesn't HAVE to be fucked up all the time. It's up to us to make that decision.

Sadly, as a collective, we aren't up to the challenge just yet.
