Zelaya, Honduras & the 21st Century Castros

Sorry fellas this just rings of shit to me being that my families background has been fighting the tyranny of Latin American dictators for the past 50 years. The reason we are in this mess to begin with is because the Cuban officials of the time didn't have the gonads to put a bullet in Fidel after he was arrested following the attacks on the Moncada barracks.

Had we done so then we would have avoided 50 years of clones, albeit less violent ones but still clones. They are only less violent because they have papa-Castro protecting and guiding their hands. No need to kill anyone anymore when you can manipulate constitutions and the public to do your bidding using "legal" means.

If Honduras too goes the way of Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua then it will be too late to come out and wish we could have defended the Honduran officials trying to do right by their country.

Sadly many of you just wont wrap your heads around this which is why you will condemn the so-called-coup, however i dont wear that badge that says i must defend the "law" i instead will defend my principles and call what the supreme court and the military did was absolutely the right course and i wish they would have taken the extra step and put a bullet between Zelayas eyes and ended this fiasco and dealt with the consequences, how many more times will we have to repeat past mistakes. FYI Hilter we elected legally too.


I support Tyrannicide. Even prematurely.

Nigger: the new breed

Rest easier blacks, the word nigger, no longer is used to describe those of dark skin, that have been used and abused for the past 400 years. In what seems only 2 generations the word has been turned on its head by the youth culture. Of course this was not only the product of hip-hop, many have busted their ass to get this term banned for several decades. Hip-hop artist did however grasp the term and busted its harsh tone and turned it into a word that at times can even be said to be affectionate.

This is a great thing in my opinion. I like watching the establishment and turn against itself and evolve, and at times i support most any means necessary. This has not been a bloodless revolution, many have suffered to get it to this point. I for one hope we have come thru this curtain and never turn back, but don't confuse my hopefulness with the reality that "man", will always find one reason or another to devolve somehow. It is our curse for having received the top of the food chain honors.

With that clear out of the way it is fairly obvious that there are many who hold dear their racist roots of hating on the traditional nigger simply cause of the color of the skin. These folks are not a dying breed, prejudices will exist aslong as human walk the earth or inhabit any part of this universe. What is different is that those that hold such a narrow appreciation for the world are the actual new niggers. The new nigger is independent of skin color, the new nigger exists in many neighborhoods and many countries and in many wealth classes. The new nigger is the classic nigger, the ignorant. A fool who refuses to grow and evolve to co-exist with difference.

Does this piece have a resolution? Sure it is apocalyptic in nature and political in practice. Some blacks will refuse to release the nigger as their own for they see that while it is damaging and painful, it was indeed their own at one time and therefore it serves as a memory or tool to oppress his own evolution. This is much the same way that many cultures hang onto the memory of painful events in history to promise themselves never to repeat the things that led to the eventual painful memory. In reality, like all things, as years pass the original meaning is diluted and these practices on very different purposes than their original intent. This too will happen to the word nigger, it is allready happening.

I will argue that we all have a little nigger in us. My wife will scoff at this idea and would remind me that there is always that 1:6-billion probability that there is a person who holds no criteria of which i speak...and dammit she's right. However for my purpose it is important i speak in absolutes. Everyone of us tainted by modern society has a little nigger in them. A part of them that refuses to see the other side of the argument or to evolve into the next phase of acceptance. Everyone! Some of us embrace our inner nigger and make it part of most decision making. Others just release it in small bursts and then feel we have made an error in judgment. But the reality is we must all see the nigger in us and accept that it is part of our DNA and not fight it and try to ignore that it exists, but rather know that it will rear its head at times. But we must also look around and see that others are capable of this flaw, and therefore breed acceptance and finally evolve.
