A Moment for Real Niggas

Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:04:19 -0400

Where to begin…

Lately I hear a lot of talk about these “real niggas” and how desirable they are. I mean people want real niggas as friends, life partners, and in general everyday situations. That seems okay. I mean who wouldn’t want someone real in their lives. No one has time for the fake shit. After all, a real nigga is said to be loyal, “100”, and just all around thorough.

I sat and thought to myself “Tripp, who do people deem real niggas?” I was a tad disappointed in the results. I got back Young Jeezy, Jada Kiss, Chief Keef(lmao), Jay-z (and a long ass list of other rappers and local hood niggas). Not to say these real niggas aren’t good people, they’re just not the people I’d want my kids idolizing. At some point I think we stooped so low as to believe that the urban hustler (i.e. the typical real nigga) was an accomplishment. Again, I’m not knocking the hustle, but do we not want better for ourselves?

Why is it that we only aim for the top of the bottom? That’s about as cool as being the skinniest fat person in the room.

Last I had checked honesty, handling business, and loyalty were characteristics of being a real man. I think I like that tittle much better. MAN. Kind of has a ring to it doesn’t it? I think real man I think my father, my big brother, teachers, doctors, shit even janitors. I think about people who paid or are paying dues to make sure that at the end of the day business is handled.

Maybe I’m misguided, but I think I’ll choose to be a man.

YOU can keep that real nigga shit on your side of this screen.

Maybe it's just me...

Recent events in Boston have caused yet another major rise in patriotism. Maybe I’m the bad guy, but I’m good. I don’t find my inner American in the wake of tragedy. Don’t get me wrong I empathize with those who have suffered from this tragedy but it seems like American’s only mourn death when it’s in mass quantities.

I happen to come from a neighborhood where death is all to common. It often doesn’t make the news because it happens that much. I’m not going to be the one to pull the race card here because that’s such a small piece in a larger puzzle.

I just don’t understand how we can admit to and in the same breath accept the conditions of our inner city and rural lower class and not see it as terrorism. We live under a system that is made to keep these people oppressed and destroy any chance they have at upward mobility.

In order to keep from jumping all over the place here (because my thoughts are scattered right now) I’ll just say this: If you’re going to be patriotic and super American because of some form of tragedy, understand that tragedy happens EVERYDAY on the other side of the tracks.

Russell Means Dies At 72

Russell C. Means, the charismatic Oglala Sioux activist who held guerrilla-tactic protests in the 1970s that called attention to the nation’s history of injustices against its indigenous peoples, died on Monday at his ranch in Porcupine, S.D., on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He was 72.

In 1968, he joined the American Indian Movement and soon became one its prominent leaders.

Russell subsequently took part in an occupation of the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs headquarters in Washington in 1972. But it was his leadership of an armed, 72-day standoff against federal authorities at Wounded Knee on Pine Ridge in 1973 that made him a national figure.

The siege at Wounded Knee, protesting what Means believed to be a corrupt tribal government and maltreatment of American Indians by federal authorities, left two demonstrators dead, a U.S. marshal paralyzed and numerous others injured.

Nearly 80 years earlier, Wounded Knee was the site of an 1890 massacre of scores of Lakota men, women and children by U.S. cavalry troops in what was the final major clash of the American Indian wars.

Is Honesty Honestly What You Want?

Tue, 02 Aug 2011 14:49:00 -0400

DISCLAIMER: The views presented in this article are not a reflection of the entire male population! This being my blog means that the thoughts and ideals presented are my own and may or may not be shared by others. Please do no attempt to generalize all men and assume that you know what men are thinking just because you read this.

Moving on….

I have always been told that complete honesty is the best policy, especially when it comes to women. Up until the moment I adopted this policy, I believed that to be true. How naive of me to think that I had it all figured out. Recently I’ve come to find that most women to not want real honesty. Most women want “convenient honesty.”

The term convenient honesty is somewhat self-explanatory, but for those of you who don’t know what I mean, allow me to explain. Most women want sparkly, story book, romantic comedy honesty. The media, movies, and sitcoms have some how fooled many females into thinking that honesty is always a good think when it really isn’t.

I’d like to think that I’m a pretty honest and blunt guy. I tell women the truth and nothing but. The females that I encounter (and maybe it’s JUST the ones I’ve encountered) do not seem to appreciate the very honesty that they claim they’re looking for. I tell every woman that I mingle with that I’m not looking for anything serious but I do want more than a fuck buddy. I am a grown man that has physical needs so I prefer a woman that is okay with having sex without having a serious relationship. A good majority of the women look at me with disgust and assume I think they are easy when that is not at all what I said.

Now please, ladies, don’t think I have a problem with being told no. The problem is not denial, it’s the reaction. You said you wanted honesty and that you always respect the man that gives you that. I immediately make know my intentions for us and you respond with disrespect. Doesn’t that make YOU the dishonest one?

It’s not like I deliver the truth in a mean way. I do, however, deliver it in a way that is unable to be misinterpreted. The last thing I want to do is hurt a good woman because I left her in the dark by only telling her the convenient truth. The way I see it, there’s only one form of genuine honesty and that’s 100% honesty. Any thing else is a lie.

So ladies I have to ask….

Do you really want to truth?
