Sean Taylor: Nigga Shit Pt. II.. and the the effective results...

This blog had me pacing. I'd like to give a very serious disclaimer regarding this one. I AM NOT A RACIST, I AM A PRETTY PROUD AMERICAN -WHEN WE DO HUMANELY GOOD THINGS-. However, with that pride there is a sense of freedom of speech which I am getting ready to exact that is ugly.

Images and characterizations below are almost paramount, biblical, mandate-ish, in their discussion and statement. I'm almost sorry I've decided to write this blog, very, essentially, sorry I'm putting out in the public... YET proud that I'm doing so because someone has to say this and no one is doing so at this point.

WARNING: this will be the longest blog yet on this forum. If you arent a reader... be warned, you are getting ready to read and YES Chris Rock, I know who will NOT be reading this blog.

Blogs are close to freestyle rapping. They come out like vomit when they happen and different events, pictures. movies, and/or other items of consequence tend to trigger them. I am sorry about any spelling or grammatical errors I miss.. I'm NOT being edited -sort of like MSNBC writers.

This blog was triggered by my interaction with The Professor and several writers and board posters on the WWW.

If I havent already, let me tell you a little about me and The Professor: I am an graduate educated guy having walked away from my dissertation in Microbiology and Immunology without writing my degree. As you can see, my fear of writing is minuscule. I can write for days at a time if I am inspired and my thesis degree project, as assigned by my professor was dull, to me. So I walked away when offered a chance to move from the East Coast to the West Coast because in my heart and soul, I've always wanted to come out here. My dissertation was to regard the physical construction of the genome of Streptococcus gordonii, a strange little bacterial that inhabits the mouth soon after birth. YAWNnnNNn...

I moved to San Diego in 97, bumped into the professor, earned a "new brother" and soon after left my lucrative career "consulting to patent attorneys" because they knew I had the science background.. minus the Ph.D. Sort of like a person with a masters degree -lol. I'm now a writer and filmmaker trying to do what we do "make it". I'll never leave this place.

My compatriot, The Professor holds a degree in Law, yet he really doesnt use it either, his reasons are his own. He can tell you when he gets crazed by American events and finds a need.

Both of us are BLACK, African American, Negro, NEEEEEGROW....

This blog was squeezed out of me by the death of Sean Taylor, a defensive player for the Washington Redskins -the irony of the name, Washington REDSKIN, will either be pointed out more throughly, or not... but you've got a hint of some of the strange issues my American society is providing me right there.

Hang in there with me, I will try to be as entertaining and perhaps thought provoking as possible.

Lets number the sections.

Section 1. Who I am NOT, and with what I am associated (NOTE: if you do not read "good writing" often, please hang in there .. I will try to avoid ending a sentence with a preposition -which apparently is allowed now, but not by my dead grand dad who lives in my head).

Okay, THIS is a gorilla.
Wonderful racists on the planet enjoy saying Black people are gorillas.
NO, we are not -hold on.

Okay, this is a chimpanzee (not a MONKEY hooded idiots).
Wonderful racists on the planet enjoy saying "dont they look like little niggers"..
No, we dont -hang in there.

This post is going to emotionally hurt so if you havent read THIS BLOG of ours please read it first so you understand from where we are coming.

This is an orangutan.
Again, NOT me, not me at all, not anyone I've ever met. Though .. never mind.

and THIS, is a Bonobo, one of the most social animals on the planet, having a matriarchal society and even evidence of tool use -which used to be used as the classification of what separates US -humans- from ANIMALS.

Now with that understood by any crazed Klansman that has stumbled upon this blog, let me tell you WHY you have been wrong in classifying any Black American with these animals.

THEY DO NOT KILL EACH OTHER AS A RULE. Nor do they destroy their environment/homes.
GOT THAT..

Black Male Americans DO!
We kill each other.. often... Me and the Professor have one real concern, due to our visual relationship with all of "our Black Community", in that America in 2007, as evolved into a place that lumps groups of people together based on color and country of origin to such an extent that The Professor and I (did I tell you The Professor is black as well?) read and watch the news like many others like us, with fear that something, somebody, some event will happen somewhere involving a Black person, and it will DIRECTLY EFFECT our lives due to a blanket coverage that is given to us as a "group".

Oh.. there may not be many segueways in this piece. I may jump around, but trust me, YOU WILL "GET IT" at the end... mainly because I will give it to you. Also, I have wonderful Windows Vista on this new laptop and it was supposed to come with a full version of Microsoft Office -it didnt-, so I'm composing in a small cramped window!!!!

Okay... we got the monkey/gorilla racist crap out of the way for the black folks out there who have had to, even today, deal with people who slip periodically and compare black people to Apes. We have settled the argument that Black People are different than Apes because we have a habit of killing each other.

Now, let me tell you, there is a writer I enjoy reading periodically who writes for ESPN Page 2 named Jemele Hill, called by your's truly "Jimmy-Lee". She has an article on the net right now that deals with the Redskin Defender's death. LINK. In the article she points out the many strange society ills that effect/affect (I always use those words together, ok, maybe not always) young black men like our own Mr. Sean Taylor. In her article she cites that since 1990 (or so) young black men have a six times higher chance to die via MURDER than other races both in America and world wide. -stop-

Follow me:

DNA's essential structure was discovered and elucidated by Watson, Crick and Franklin (I always give her credit because without her, Watson and Crick than simply a professor). Watson recently came under fire because he says, claims, that black people are genetically inferior to other races. THIS infuriated me because I have witnessed in my own life that I am smarter than other people. I was NOT the person to fail the preliminary exam required to pursue my Ph.D., a test that covers two years of intense study at the graduate level at Temple University Medical School. NO. The person who failed that test was NOT BLACK.. so what is Watson talking about... WAIT... perhaps me, and others I know are somewhat mutated..? Perhaps there are a group of us who have our KILL RANDOM INNOCENT PEOPLE OVER STUPID ASS SHIT are different. After all, I'm alive, I did not add to or produce any dead black young men by the time I was 24, or older... it bothers me to the core of my being that I can not explain this discrepancy, however, I have The Professor as a friend and confidant and he is wayyy more Uncle Rukus than I am. He has stood steadfast that something makes US (black people) different that isnt related to poverty or racism.

I was both perplexed and elated because I could release my pain.

I've protected, for years, that black folks station in life is a result of "the media". I've screamed that what we see in the media leads to young black men behaving the way that we do. I've hollered that its not our fault, it is that we stand out due to our contrasted hue! But The Professor argued back; are you hinting that OUR people are soooo simple that IMAGES lead our lives..? That we as a "people" have a six times higher chance of dying before we are 24 beecause we are THAT STUPID. "How about", The Professor would say, "we have something IN US as a group that can be pulled back, reduced, stopped and/or mutated, that leads some of us to be simply SAVAGE! Ugh... noooo... NOOOO.. that can not be...

Then he points me to the Southern "horn" of Africa, the few million that have been slaughtered, the premiere/president/leader of one country who claims to cure aids with a strange concoction he uses after having extramarital sex with infected hookers... I can only tilt my head like a puppy, curious, wondering.. where is the argument. If I argue that particular leader, who has a society in his hands who have an AIDS rate higher than most promiscus homosexual communitys PRE-1984, I'm stuck either saying he's stupid.. ..or his cure works -remember my education. CRAP.

He points to the high murder rate, and explictly tells me.. HOW HARD IS IT TO NO KILL A MUTHA FUCKA??? HOW HARD IS IT TO FOLLOW THE LAW...? HOW HARD IS IT TO JUST BE-FUCKING-HAVE???... and this always leads to me trying, digging, searching for an answer. Well, I have none.....

So, I started this saying it was forced out of me because of Sean Taylor's murder. The reason that is important is:
