And let the Hate begin!!!

January 27, 2009 at 10:09 pm (Africa, britain, media, news corperations, the world) (, , , , , , , , , )

Now that the tears have dried and the ballroom has been cleared and the kids are back at school, out pop the cynics. Who? the people who are just desperate to pour water on  the new American president, thats who! Listening to Eddie Nestors show on BBC london live 94.9fm on sunday night he was  throwing the floor open for people’s thoughts on this historic moments. What shocked me was the barrage of hate from a few commentators.

They argued that he had done nothing and was set to do noting and was getting  an easy time of it. Eddie Nestor countered that maybe they were being a little premature, he had at the time only been in the job for 5 days, and he had already taken action against guantanamo bay, opened up to the possibility of diplomacy with countries in the middle east that the previous administration had alienated  though poor choices. he had made important and decisive actions in the front of  abortion  and science.

the commentators  rebuttal consisted of  “well bush was going to do that anyway!” and “he’s just an American Tony Blair” (please note Tony Blair previous British Prime Minister left office under a bad cloud due to being Dubya’s lapdog and  making stupid decisions that damaged Britains world standing) they were in fine form.

Now i think dissent is a brilliant thing, it keeps power in check, look at the countries that do not allow political dissent….(Zimbabwe, china, etcetera) not where we need to be going! However i feel that the commentators were perhaps just very sore that their prefered candidate did not get into office.

But what really did it for me was the glib remark that was in response to jasmine dottiwalla. Jasmine  had just remarked  ” regardless of your political persuasion this is a  moment in history for people of colour this is the first time children can grow up and think that they can become anything, even president.  The caller then retorted with “well there have been several black leaders in Africa and just look at the mess they have created…” the caller then rattled on about how Obama was a fraud. Now some people are  probably wondering  why was the caller was not picked up orcut off…. wel it is a late night show that does not allow political correctness the only rule is do not swear.

That glib comment  about black rulers in africa and the chaos that currently resides in some african countries is just ignorant, yes some leaders in African have become corrupt and inert, so have some in europe and Asia? Power does corrupt, that is why the phrase is a cliche. But then to try and draw a line of correlation between the fact that some African leaders  have fucked their whole country up  and the fact that the President’s father was African, is just baseless racism.

Yes  we all need to be aware that Obama is just a man, born of a woman and a man, he is not jesus, he cannot part the sea, he  is not the holy  sprit. He will disappoint  but to chalk that up to his racial identity is stupid. People think  of him like the faded memories of that first lover. the hope the life that you thought you would share and the pain inflicted by the intrusion of reality.

But while  he is being swift and worthy of only praise throwing salt only makes you look like a supersized twat.

The Dinosaurs, The Dodo, The African-Caribbean community???

January 19, 2009 at 10:02 pm (black people, britain, colonialism, interracial relationships, media, multicultralism, relationships, sexuality, the caribbean) (, , , , , , )

WARNING: THIS  TEXT IS WRITTEN IN TYPICAL A TYPICAL WEST INDIAN RUM SHOP MANNER! NO BULLSHIT, NO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, IT IS NOT WRITTEN TO OFFEND, NOR DOES IT INTEND MALICE, IT SIMPLY AN ARTICLE OF OPINION!!!!!!

Stop the press!! A study commissioned by  Equality and Human Rights Commission has  reported that  my beloved African caribbean community is set to vanish.   I read the headline with great alarm in the Sunday Times yesterday.  The cause is apparently good news for the state of multicultralism. it means that white people are just more accepting of  interracial relationships, the African caribbean community dies out by default of not having enough people to sustain itself in the face of such rapid absorption. thus we die out leaving only the notting hill carnival to atest to our presence.

This is not really a surprise though, it’s an unplesant thing but all in all we knew we would arrive at this predicament, with the  way that things are in the dating market. Allow me to illustrate to you  our rates of interracial out-dating  the study show that 50% of all black African-Caribbean men have a partner  of a different race, 20% of  black African men have partners of  a different race,10% of indian men and women have partners of a different race. 40% of chinese women have a partner of a different race, the pakistani community  (of both sexes) has an percentage of 4%.

when looking at the figures you will  notice that  largely black women are invisible, we are not note worthy, i know of  3 black women who are married to white men but i doubt that they alone make up 1% of the African-Caribbean community.

What it does make me wonder is why is my community up front and centre on this trend? we are the smallest minority (surely) in the country (england).

Well we could argue that our heritage is one that is one that leans heavily to anglicisation, we HAD to assimilate to get by and get jobs, our cultral values while not exactley the same are very similiar, our countries were part of Britain well up into the 1980’s and we largely are Christian.

 we could also Argue that there may be a tenuous colonial thing going on here? Franz Fanon legendary author (and arsehole) of martinque (french speaking caribbean) said “there is only on destiny of the black man, and that is white”. calypso’s (popular topical music of the caribbean) of the early to mid 20th century often rhapsodised that the ideal woman was rich, white and stupid.(i don’t know if that is more racist or sexist but it sucks all around). The white woman has a special position in the Caribbean, she is rare, coveted and protected, so when you have chance of having your very own white woman aren’t you going to  celebrate and grab that opportunity as soon as you can.

Or the third arguement is the sappiest pile of crap i have ever been forced to swallow, “Black women are just too difficult to please”, well excuse us for exepecting not to be crapped on. Like those arses have never bumped into a white woman who is less than courteous.

The truth as i see it, is that Black men from my community like white women, just accept it. the fact that they can get their hands on white women renders me and other women who share my background obselete.

In the dating world, we are the dregs, Asian women are feted as beautiful,seductive innocents. White women are the rulers of the western world they have the media are their backs, playboy, hustler,loaded,maxim,FHM,nuts etcetera. Latina’s have a reputation of passionate lovers and sultry loaded looks that set loins afire.

What about us black women what do we have, a reputation as being little more than beasts of burden oh and Robert di nero and Robin thicke…. that is some team there!

Arse on a bike…. i should immigrate back to the caribbean at least the weather is nice, if i am doomed at least i could do it in the warm.

ps to all those idiots who thing that having a very mixed society obliterates racism please take a look at brazil….

ps i may just hev been a little bit sacastic at times in this post, it’s just the way i’m feeling.

My two pence- Prince Henry and other BS!

January 14, 2009 at 4:08 pm (britain, media, multicultralism, news corperations, the world) (, , , , , )

I think the british media has done a fabulous job of sweeping  the trouble under the proverbial carpet; however it’s total bullshit! If they are trying to tell me that the royal family is soooo insulated from the british public at large that they haven’t graped the fact  that the word paki, is as insulting as the term nigger and is just not the done thing  for a person with more than two brain cells, then the royal family has no place in modern britain!

What troubles me is that people are trying to excuse it by explaining that Prince harry is just a hoory henry in the sense of bertie wooster of pg.woodhouse. A nice but dim character. so that is totally harmless? No the only way it is excusable is if he had tourettes,  he does not thus he is just a ignoramus.

some people have tried to excuse it by saying  well the Asian in question hasn’t complained,  well have they ever considered that maybe that dignified silence is an displeased one. that young man is living in ( not only working in) an enviroment  that is very hierachical and a system to which he has to fight for the hooray henry’s grandmother! so maybe he isn’t complaining because of strategic reasons.

 

Now there is another theory i am willing to give a chance, it’s a little controversial and  maybe will give hope to the BNP but her it goes, Maybe ,just maybe most Indigenous  white people of the british isles are only paying lip servive to multiculturalism, and actually do not want ethnic minorities around and don’t give a shit!

But maybe thats  a little far fetched! what worries me is the wonderful legacy that Princess Diana left behind is being wrecked by this beligerant twat!  Princess diana was a global campaigner towards the end of her life, she was hardly mother thresa but she did do quite a bit more than the current duchess of cornwall! but that is not even a fair comparison.

The royal family are fairly insulated bunch, they serve in the army so that the public won’t complain, that they have easy lives.  they pass their  Art A levels with the aid of their teachers ( Harry) even if other students would get kicked out for that.  They cant get away with going to “natives and colonials balls” (yes the still use the term Natives).

well they dont fool me,  they are benefit scrongers, just like the ones on jerry springer (they are inbred too!!! Queenie and Prince Phillip are cousins as were several generations of royal couples). they just happen to be  filthy rich, incredibly indifferent to repubilcan sentiments and lazy. they sit around on the wages from the tax payers and moan about duties  such as travel around the world, shaking peoples hands and  talking about the lack of privacy! well never mind that  there are people working 10+ hours a day in  construction and do you hear then bitching??? (nope) I have to do substaincial saving to have the priveilge of traveling the world, and leaving this rain soaked freezing arse cold country! but never mind that huh!!! Want to talk about lack of privacy , want to try my west indian family, who regulaly grill my male friends if they have ever fancied me, if not why not, then  proceed to tell me “if you fixed up your appearance/ stopped talking in that voice / hanging out with those people /was  a little less choosy/ more choosy and all of that crap.  they have it nice all they have to do is act nicely and the status quo remains.

so in conclusion Prince harry is a twat!  and can you say cover UP? this issue has me fired up!

Is the single life really that bad??

January 3, 2009 at 10:26 pm (relationships) (, , )

I am absolutely serious! what is so horrendous about it?  I know that everyone has inside them a NEED to feel loved  and desired, but as disasterous as 2009 looks, i woke up this morning really happy and grateful and guess what? My “sometime” on again -off again boyfriend hasn’t called to wish me happy new year…. and i do not give a crap!!!  That guy i really like and have done since 2003  appears to be a confirmed homosexual….. good for him and mankind!! I am nearly mid twenties and no where near a marriage and well , it doesn’t make me scared or worried.

Why the societal pressure ? is being single really that much of a curse?? nah, it never was and really never  will be. we contribute to the world. yes i want children and maybe a hubby to go with the package, but  supposing that isn’t part of my future….  it will not make the world fall apart.

I have loving family, i am attractive and i know that i am desired ( big-headed i know) and very desirable,  so i know that if i have life of coupledom ahead i should enjoy this single life  now while it’s here, the parties, the flirting, the dancing, the dating,suspense and anticipation. In life we have so many troubles that put  such simple superficial things in  perspective, if you have every been hungry and gone to sleep that way, being single isn’t a hardship. If you’ve  ever gone to atm to withdraw money for shopping or transport costs and  seem red letters or minus signs staring back at you and had to  think twice about your plans, being single is not a problem. If you grew up  without things your kids  consider nessecities being single is not a problem.

Now the economy is going tits up and floating down river,  and so many of us will be  realising that obsessions like relationship status, are  important but not all consuming. Lets hope someone tells  relatives attending family functions, i never want to hear  ” So have you found a nice young man yet…. hurry up girl you are getting old!” again!!!!
