Beware Black Friday - You Can Go Out Battling With The Crazies If You Want To...Professor Tracey's Eating Leftovers and Going To See Precious

2009-11-27T00:01:00.000-05:00

The truth is Black Friday should be changed to a solemn day of all broke-asses staying at home making homemade gifts for Christmas. Some kind of creative shit with popsicle sticks, white glue, crayons, and glitter.

Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll!

2009-11-26T00:01:00.001-05:00

Everyone have a blessed and absolutely awesome turkey day or whatever the hell you chose to eat today. If you have a job, a home, and a family, you are truly blessed! I know I am!

The HBCU Blues - Once Again Black Folks Are Working Too Hard On The Wrong Stuff

2009-11-25T23:43:00.005-05:00

I'm starting to come to a sad realization about my people. We all too often get fired up about the wrong shit. We get all passionate about little things while the big issues go ignored until they become big enough to crush us. For example, why in the hell are HBCU's issuing dress codes and fitness codes? Are these really pressing issues that deserve priority focus?

Considering all the problems that HBCUs are currently fighting; falling enrollments, soaring costs for everything from building maintenance to tuition, campus safety issues, underpaid and overworked professors, academically ill-prepared students and shrinking endowments, I think that creating drama over student clothing choices and denying students their degree because some chart says they are too fat are really low on the list of important issues.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for folks pulling up their pants and folks being in better physical condition, but the first job of any collegiate institution is to EDUCATE it's students, not regulate them on personal life decisions such as dress and weight. HBCUs need to be more worried about raising money, finding the best professors, and get the best resources for their students, not creating roadblocks that makes it harder for their predominantly high risk student body.

Whose buying all this "business dress" clothing? My minority students and quite a few white students as well, struggle to buy BOOKS, forget clothes. And is Lincoln University going to provide personal trainers, dietitians, 24-hour workout facilities, and nutritionists to help their students make the required weight for graduation? Are they going to remove junk food and fatty foods from the cafeteria, bookstore, and dorms, to prevent their students from gaining the infamous freshman fifteen, twenty-five, or fifty pounds? Do they have the money and time to deal with the lawsuits from students that sue?

I've seen dressed up students at HBCUS before, many dressed to the department store hilt with brand new backpacks that are empty because "new school clothes" were more important than books and school supplies. College students struggle with time management just with classes, jobs, and extracurricular activities, now to ensure graduation a regular physical workout is added to the schedule. Could you see that? Girl, I can't study for that math test tomorrow, I got t0 spend an hour on the treadmill. How about mandatory study tables and hours instead, now that would be an idea.

And if I was a student at any of these colleges, EVERY single faculty member, staffer, and administrator would have to be dressed for success and lean and mean before they could point a finger at me.

No Storybook Ending For Future Hall of Famer Allen Iverson's NBA Career

2009-11-25T22:54:00.005-05:00

He was my favorite player for a very long time. I loved the way this boy played. Scrappy and tough. I was proud when he was MVP. I am disappointed that he never managed to become a true champion, a leader on and off the court. It really is too bad that his brilliant career ends in such negative fashion. I do worry about this cat in retirement, what in the hell does he do now?

Will White Folks Ever Understand That Appearing In Blackface Is Not Only Racist But Makes The Wearer Look Damn Stupid?

2009-11-06T11:00:00.003-05:00

Can't even believe this dude had the nerve to pose next to the great Bob Marley looking like a radioactive black jelly bean and the idiot above doesn't look black, but burned. I will never understand why making fun of black folks is a source of entertainment on a campus that has so few black folks on campus in the first damn place.

Professor Tracey Highly Recommends The Awesome Drama - "Intelligence"

2009-11-06T01:21:00.005-05:00

If you have the extra cash to purchase the DVDS or a Netflix account, I highly recommend the Canadian television series, Intelligence. It only lasted two season before some idiot in the Canadian TV networks decided to cancel another well-acted, well-written, and well-directed crime drama.

I am a huge fan of both Ian Tracey and Klea Scott and you will be to after watching them in this series. And what is mad cool about Canadian television is that black folks are regularly included in their shows without all the racist baloney that clouds up American television.

Suspected Serial Killer Anthony Sowell Proves That The Police Don't Give A Damn About Black Women As Crime Victims

2009-11-06T00:35:00.002-05:00

This nutjob picked the right victims. You can clearly beat, strangle, rape, murder, and descrate the corpses of black women for years despite the fact that you are a well-known convicted rapist, naked bodies are reported to be falling from the windows of your home and your crib stinks up the entire neighborhood because it smells like an abandoned slaughter house.

Somebody in the Cleveland Police Department needs to get fired with major quickness. And whoever in the hell is the local elected officials in that area where this black-ass Jack the Ripper has been living, needs to have their ass booted out of office.

Damn!

Happy Halloween Folks! Hope You Have Plenty Of Treats And Avoid All Tricks!

2009-10-31T19:05:00.000-04:00

Happy Halloween Folks! Sorry for the MIA status on blogging. I am BUSY running from the swine flu and grading papers. I'm also working on my second year review....yes, the crazy ass march toward tenure!

Plus, I have big plans popping for the upcoming holidays, so my mind has been elsewhere. I will be posting quite a few things this evening, so please forget me if I comment on something old as well as something new and maybe a few somethings borrowed!

Looking forward to hearing from my blogging crew!

Stuff That Doesn't Make Sense - A White Woman Can Spend $12,000 A Month On Fake Ass Hair, But All Everyone Wants To Talk About Is Black Women's Hair

2009-10-31T17:51:00.000-04:00

One of things that always strikes me with debates and discussions about black women is that folks never want to talk about real stuff that hurts us; poverty, disease, lack of equitable marriage partners, being underpaid and overworked in the workplace, domestic violence, abuse, rape, etc.....

Yet, talking about black women's hair dominates the airwaves, then you can hear a rat pissing on cotton when it's a white woman doing the EXACT same thing that black women are universally condemned for. Isn't interesting how quietly all kinds of folks accept RHOA Kim Zolciak's fake ass hair and fucking a married black man? Funny that.

$12,000 month on stinking ass wigs? Bitch please!

Black Folks Are Truly Creative People!

2009-10-31T16:34:00.000-04:00

My girl Lynda had this on her facebook and it just cracks me up. I'm not buying an overpriced bluetooth anytime soon, but I'm not sure this is the ticket either!

Newsweek's Allison Samuels Is Clearly Out Of Ideas And Should Worry About Her Own Black Hair Instead Of The Hairstyle Of A Defenseless Four-Year Old

2009-10-14T13:53:00.007-04:00

This bullshitting article by Allison Samuels is the perverbal straw that broke the camel's back for me. I have had about a damn 'nough on this here subject.

I'm sorry, but I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of the issue of black women and girls and their damn hair. It's time for everyone to start minding their own FUCKING business about black hair. I am completely soured on the subject. I am sick of the politics of black hair, the in-fighting over black hair, the judgements about black hair, and I am DAMN sick and tired of black women and girls being made to feel bad about their hair.

How about this -

If you are HAPPY and NAPPY, cool with me. If you are BONE STRAIGHT and SLICK, cool with me. If you rock POUNDS and POUNDS of WEAVE, cool with me. If you had HALF YOUR HEAD SHAVED AND THE OTHER HALF LONG AND LOVELY, cool with me. If you are CUT DOWN TO THE SCALP WITH YOUR MAN'S NAME SHAVED ON THE SIDE, cool with me. If you are a NATTY DREAD HEAD, cool with me.

If a some point and time you have had HAIR COLORED MAGENTA, BLONDE, BLUE, GREEN, OR PINK, cool with me. If you enjoy wearing BRAIDS SO LONG THAT THEY DRAG ON THE FLOOR WITH 8 MILLION MUTLI-COLORED BEADS, cool with me. If have a MOHAWK OR A FAUX-HAWK OR WHAT EVER IN HELL THEY CALL IT HAWK, cool with me. And if you are like me with so-called "GOOD HAIR" YOU HAVE NO DESIRE TO COMB OR STYLE ON A REGULAR BASIS, you are double-dip pistachio nut ice cream cool with me.

I am a sick and tired of folks talking about black hair like it's the ONE great problem in our black society. Get a clue people, IT ISN'T!!! A whole lot of black women with straight and nappy hair, "acceptable" and completely jacked up hairstyles, have voted in a black man as President, ran households and business, and yes, managed to think and chew gum at the same time! We need to stop buying into this tired and circular firing squad discussion any longer and I mean IMMEDIATELY.

Can we agree on something?

FROM NOW ON BLACK WOMEN AND GIRLS, WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR BLACK HAIR - DO WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT AND FUCK EVERYONE ELSE!

I'm Sorry But No Rams For Racist Rush!

2009-10-14T12:36:00.003-04:00

Rush Limbaugh is an unrepentant race-baiting racist and a caveman era sexist. He should not be given the opportunity to own a professional sports team. He will not be able to serve as a silent partner, he will eventually say something so outlandish that the NFL will have to head for the hills to escape the embarrassment.

NFL sports teams are heavily stocked with minority players and supported by minority fans and women. Rush Limbaugh has made his feeling clear on both groups. The St. Louis Rams used to be a winning and successful franchise, Rush Limbaugh as an owner is not going to help return them to that top position.

Michael Steele The Sell-Out King Earns His Bread By Disrespecting The Accomplishments Of The First Black President - Way To Coon Brotha!

2009-10-09T12:14:00.003-04:00

I don't care which party you belong to, you celebrate the achievements of the U.S. President. Period, no discussion. And as far as I'm concerned, any black person that says another black person has not achieved ANYTHING, when they have obviously gained and earned a MAJOR achievement, HATES THEIR OWN PEOPLE!

Bastards Of America - Dumb Ass Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis Steps Down

2009-09-30T20:22:00.006-04:00

Good! He should have been forced to resign over the Merrill Lynch deal months ago. And to hell with him personally, he's not hurting financially. Bastards of America - shanking their customers for years and years.

Lamar Odom Must Have Really Needed To Get Married To A White Woman....Really Badly...I Mean Really, Really Badly

2009-09-30T11:50:00.003-04:00

This is modern love? Last minute pre-nup agreement, you let some gossip news/reality show network pay for the wedding, and your children don't attend the wedding? Wow! That's a major expression of love and family coming together.

It's stuff like this where black women get annoyed with black men. If Lamar Odom had met Khloe Kardashian as an ordinary woman on Miami beach with her ass hanging out, he would have called her a gold digger, but because she's famous for being on television with her ass hanging out, she's marriage material. Wow! Really?

And any black woman he would have met doing the same crap as Ms. Kardashian would have had his boys crying FOUL if he had dared to marry her after one month. I hope this works out for Lamar because if it doesn't this dude better suffer in complete SILENCE.

I really don't give a damn who folks marry, but I can't stand black men acting like they made a catch with white women pimping their own bodies and engaging in outlandish, brainless behavior on television to be famous. Between Lamar Odom, Reggie Bush, that grinning fool that married Hugh Hefer's leftovers, it's like damn dude, do you really think you got something there? It's like looking at Kobe Bryant's wife, I always wonder, what in the hell is she doing in her life? Once you stop being a baby making machine, what's left? Spending dude's money? That's progress.

All that money, travel, and opportunity and these dudes still end up with women with such little value and such minor contributions to the world, but I guess that's it anyway. There is only room to feed only one giant ego, so you pick someone with no dreams, no life of their own to follow you around. Damn...........

And something to make you think...........

Where are all the Armenian men that the Kardashian girls are running away from? I wonder if they ever introduce any of their men to their black women friends or do they even have any black women for friends? Funny that.

Professor Tracey Really Enjoyed The First Season Of "In Plain Sight"

2009-09-27T12:27:00.003-04:00

I miss most television shows while they are currently airing, but my savior Netflix helps me catch up. In Plain Sight is quite good. It's funny, well-written, diverse characters, and ramps up my desire to visit New Mexico. The lead character is awesome, complex and totally messed up.

I sorry I missed most of the second season. I will be looking for the DVD release.
