Black people, we do NOT know Prez Obama personally

With that said being black and Obama being black does not mean you can roll up on him or to the White House whenever and however the hell you feel like. He is the PRESIDENT...the first black president at that. He has all sorts of security to make sure your behind doesn't get to close.

Where is this coming from you ask...watch the video. Brenda Lee thought it was ok to personally hand Mr. President a note. Clearly, Ms. Lee you're Doing the MOST. When in history have you ever heard of any random person (I don't care if you have a press pass if your name isnt Larry King, Diane Sawyer or Katie Couric your just random person with a press pass. No really...you are)handing a president a personal note??

Not ok. Then I heard a few months ago that Usher thought that while he was in DC he could just roll up to the White House uninvited and ask if he could talk to the president. 2 words...SHUT. DOWN.

People, Barack Obama is the PRESIDENT. Not your homeboy from down the block or your cousin/uncle Reggie.

Just sayin...

"POPS"arazzi

Exploitation at it's finest. BTW...I will be adopting the phrase "I don't kiss ass, I kick ass".

Something like modern day slavery...


So remember last week when I posted about corporate america taking advantage of the current economic situation and thus mistreating people. Well, today the trade publication for the glorious (GAG ME) industry I work in had an article about how a highly awarded, considered to be a place of amazing creative work decided to SELL its interns on Ebay... I'll say that again....

SELL THEIR INTERNS ON EBAY. ALL 38 PEOPLE ARE BEING SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.

Is it just me or is this not a form of slavery??? I'm going to assume that no waivers were signed, these "kids" probably didnt seek legal advice to review said contract if there was one and therefore they are basically being sold to work as the agency and purchasing "client" sees fit??? Why is this ok?? Who's to say it will stop at this. What if other agencies follow suit and start "selling" people as a way to generate additional income in this shitty economy.

And I'm sure people will say "its an amazing opportunity, they should be grateful" or "what if this is what they wanted to do". To those comments I say, I'm sure the first africans who were taken into slavery thought the idea of a boat ride was pretty nifty and we see what that led to. Just sayin...

I <3 THE COSBY SHOW

By far my favorite TV show of all time. And yes I'm in love with Bill Cosby!!! I do not want a Rundu man (LOOK IT UP IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT http://www.rundu.com/) I want a Bill Cosby as Bill Cosby or as Heathcliff Huxtable. Sweaters and all!!!

"An African-American family IS an American Family"...tell'em Mrs. Rashad!!!

Burger King has 1 responsibility...

SELL BURGERS!!! So tell me why I went to the Burger King in the Rockafellar Center Concourse and they were out of burgers. How absurd is that???!!! All they have is chicken therefore today that Burger King is basically a frikking KFC!!! So instead of eating a whopper jr w/cheese I'm eating chicken nuggets...ALL I WANTED WAS A WHOPPER!!!!

THEN, to make matters worst, I stood in line for like 15 min. At no point in the 15 min did anyone bother to say "We are out of burgers". When i got to the counter the lady tried to whisper..."We don't have any burgers". I'm like "WHAT??!!! YOU DONT HAVE ANY BURGERS??!!!"...loudly. The fact that she felt it was necessary to WHISPER indicates a problem.

Clearly, if you, Burger King, don't have burgers FOLKS WONT COME IN!!! Don't try to be slick and get folks in the door and in line so that they feel obligated to buy something. We were not waiting in line at BURGER KING for CHICKEN!!!! If I wanted chicken, I would have waited in line for 15 min at KFC!!! Like WTF!!!

C'est Terrible!!! Like going to Dunkin Donuts and they being like "All we got is muffins".

"I'm a human being got damnit. My life has value!!!"

Would it be inappropriate if I stood on my desk and yelled "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore"? Perhaps that would be doing the MOST and they may have me taken for a psych eval. But seriously...is it just me or is corporate America really taking full advantage of the current economic situation? I'm soo over the scare tactics...This video, although a movie clip from a film released years ago, accurately sums up how I feel.
