Cablin-Asshole!

*Warning*…This blog will offend some people.  It’s supposed to be controversial.  Don’t take it personal…it’s just my thoughts

 

This is my rant against Tiger Woods.  That’s right…you never thought you would see the day where I would talk crap about Tiger Woods.  Well the day has come.  Let me explain.

First off, don’t call this man a Cablinasian…that’s code for “If i say I’m mixed with a lot of different things…white people will accept me.”  Tiger, please wake up and smell the roses…You are a black man.  You have  your hype because you’re good but also because you are considered a black male golfer.  You can hide behind your “Cablinasian” all you want but I see the bitch in you.

I already know what the masses reading this are thinking..”If he wants to be proud of his entire background he can be”  I COMPLETELY AGREE!  He needs to walk that walk though.  Tiger..your father was 50% black (which means HE’S BLACK).  That’s what a lot of different races seem to get messed up on.  In our society whether this is right or wrong you are what you look like.  If i look black, I’ll be treated as if I’m black.   You think if the KKK were walking down the street and saw Tiger they wouldnt want to kill him just as fast as they would want to kill me?  YOU ARE A BLACK MALE TIGER.

Now lets get to my main point.  The reason for this blog.  Why am i saying all of this?  This is why…Tiger Woods plays in the Masters every year.  What many of you don’t know is that in Augusta, GA (where the Masters are played) guess which group of people do you think are not allowed to play on that course…..YOU GOT IT..BLACK PEOPLE.  The year is 2009 and we still have places that do not accept blacks.  How Tiger can play on that course every year KNOWING they wouldn’t allow him if he wasn’t on the tour AND they would have never allowed his father to play on that course (wanna know why) because he is 50% black…..A BLACK MAN. Amid much criticism of exclusive and discriminatory admissions, Augusta accepted A black member in 1990…..A black member

I am by no means saying Tiger needs to act “black”  I don’t think you act “black”, you act like a culture.  Tiger does lead by example by raising a family, being a father and keeping a great and healthy relationship with his wife.  All those things are great, however, he needs to do more.  If the activisist of the civil rights movement would have acted the way Tiger is now…Tiger wouln’t be allowed to do what he is doing now.  He needs to think about that.

Tiger needs to stand up and say “You know what, I’m not playing the Masters ever again until this changes”  It’s like what my brother said…This is bigger than him.  It’s bigger than any one man.  He could change so much by making a silent protest.

It’s time Tiger starts to give back to the people who fought for him to have his opportunity.   Stop making money for “The Man” and help all of your ethnicities.  It’s time for him to be a man and stop acting like my Uncle (what was his name again….of yea TOM!)

I’m done rooting for him.  I hope he never wins another event

Inflecto Tenus Rex

On June 25 2009 we lost the greatest musician/performer of all time.  Michael Joseph Jackson passed away at the young age of 50.  As I type this, I still have a surreal feeling.  I know you can never be prepared for death but this came out of nowhere!  I don’t think there has ever been another celebrity that has passed that I have ever been more shocked about.  When you look at the body of Michael’s work, there really is no debate on who the greatest was.  Not the Beatles, not Elvis…nobody.  The King stood alone.

For me, Michael did so much.  He was the first black musician that made music stations play him.  MTV didn’t play black music until he came along.  Michael transcended the music industry.  My parents remember him and how great he was back in 69′ with The Jackson 5.  Think about all of the years that he stood alone with his greatness.  Michael had been great since the age of eleven. 

Do not judge him with the problems of his life.  He was abused at a young age which SURELY had an effect on him later in life.  This most certainly isn’t a time for idiots to start making Michael Jackson jokes.  Guess what…it isn’t funny.

Michael Jackson performed every show as if it was his last.  His shows were by far the hardest shows to ever get a ticket for.  The man sold more than 750 million Cd’s.  Let me type that again….750 million Cd’s!  The album ‘Thriller” sold over 109 million alone.  Jackson must have been the only person in history to come out with a CD that sold 8 million copies and was looked at as a disappointment.  Mind you, the CD is just wrote about was a greatest hits CD in which there were already 2 of those Cd’s already out!

Michael’s music will obviously live on forever but so will his legend.  His legend will grow of course because of his untimely death but his death will never outshine his music. 

I have a tattoo on my right arm that reads “Inflecto Tenus Rex.”  I also named this blog with that saying.  It means “Bow down to the King”  Michael Jackson will always be The King of Pop.  It’s time we bow. 

Rest in Peace Michael
