Just curious

Yet another uneventful week in the land of Black folk. Obama continues to wow and do his thing. I still get misty-eyed when I see anything that covers that eventful day back in November 2008.

So I just have some observations as I go about life in the hood.

Again, why did Wendy Williams get a TV talk show? And who the hell is the fan base that the TV exec is banking on to make this a hit? And why do I want to watch it? Please refresh my memory.

And why can't we have another Black male supermodel? Tyson was too much? We can only have one? I'm done with Make Me a Supermodel--until next season (!)

And who the hell told Kanye he was special, intelligent and our poster child for all things hip and cool? Go Pink on declaring him: " a waste of skin"! Do they not have a censor for Hip Hop artists? I need to deploy the dumb-ass -rapper-need-to- put'em-in-check police squad. Jeez, watch your mouth. And don't believe your own hype. Your lyrics ain't that tight or deep, so what makes you think anything else you'd have to say would be worth listening to?

And what happened to summer jams? We need an anthem.

And when did toothless thugs start rockin' pink? Not mad at a brotha in touch with his feminine side, but thugged out and saggin' in pink ain't cute. Hold a fool up with a pink water pistol? Powder-puff slap a fool in the face? What? I don't get it. And then try to get at a woman? Oy.

And where have all the Black folks gone on TV? VH1's Charm School? And why are we still asking the same old tired questions: "Can Black women and white women communicate"? Of course any intelligent woman can communicate with another regardless of ethnicity or race. Skanks and trailer trash can't talk to anyone. Case closed. Next topic.

ESSENCE Music Fest-- who goes to this and do we not have any artists other than the same ole tired ones that keep singing the same ole tired songs to pick from? Time to bring Tea Dances and rooftop parties back. Cruisin' around the park and backyard BBQs.

Black People: We're just not cool anymore. We've been swaggerjacked.
