the arrogance de-coded: get back to the back of the bus, darky

ya know ... i been reading articles from 'real' newspapers/magazines as well as less fancy blogs which are claiming that my main man, bam bam, is ... arrogant ... he is too self confident ... he jokingly compared himself to God in an off the cuff convo with morgan freeman ... ooooooooh we should tell his mama .... and he had the nerve to insinuate that ......... DRUMFUCKINGROLL ... he might be the next president of the united states of assholes ... sorry, i am sometimes guilty of being an asshole just like all of you ... we all have our moments ... and i am more often guilty of hating on america (i could never be an obama aide or sit next to him at church) ...

my translation: arrogance is doublespeak for ... "that black man is way too comfortable in his own skin and i have never encountered anything like that in my life and it's making me feel funny in my tummy" ...

many will refute, many will deny, many will decry ... first of all, i don't have to provide any links to the other articles cuz i am not a 'real' journalist, i have no budget, i report to no one but the Lord, and i don't get paid to write the truth as i see it! maybe i'm bitter about that ... but maybe these are the perks ... i also don't have to provide no psuedo- or otherwise scientific evidence for my anthro-psycho analysis ...

understand too ... that i am referring to any person who makes these claims bout bam bam - be they black, white or whatever ... you can be a colored person and still be racist ...

i have never for one moment had a feeling that obama was arrogant ... it's so retarded it's laughable except the claim is getting too much play in the public sphere ... i find bam bam QUIET, thoughtful, deliberate, and humble ... yes, yes, yes, he is confident ... but you had better be if you are a black man living in hawaii, indonesia, or the south side of chicago ... you had better be fucking confident if you are running for president ...

people simply have a problem with confident, unapologetic black men (and women - and i speak from experience here!) people simply are disturbed by a black man who is so sure of where he fits in this world ... people see so many black men asking for permission, or pandering to whitey, or acting violent to get some love ... even many young black students i work with ... don't know what it means to be black and entitled in white america ... even some black people i went to college with were not comfortable in white classrooms ...

a foreign-for-black-people-sense of entitlement is probably what these people are confusing with arrogance ... YES finally a black man is on national TV ery day and claims he is entitled to the presidential nomination and the entire fucking job - just cuz he is a human competing in the same prezidential contest as other humans — bold isn’t it? ... yes, obama feels as do I and a handful of other colored people that we were BORN ENTITLED to a life of dignity, respect, and unlimited possibilities ... we (and i sure will speak for bam bam cuz it's that simple a statement i doubt he would refute it) also feel we are ENTITLED to inalienable human rights: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom of self-identity, freedom to bear arms etc. etc.

it’s not the kind of entitlement where you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth and think silver poop comes out the other end ... it is simply a belief in your own validity as a person because you know you are a human just like anyone else ... a.k.a. confidence.

... and if we all pause for a moment and take stock of what is on our inner shelves ... we will know that this arrogance bullshit is code for the shock of seeing a black man comfortable with POWER ...

empower yourselves ... by freeing yourselves from these old ass limitations ... for those who are in shock that black men can be so at ease with who they are and their ascent to greatness ... and for those who are in shock that such a power lies within us all ...

i mean, get used to it cuz this darky aint movin ... and the only place bam bam movin is ... into the WHITE house.
