Prior to starting this blog, I visited numerous blogs all over the internet. Some, I loved and still visit. Others I was offended by and stopped visiting altogether. The blogs I hated the most were the ones written by “conservative”, black folks who only mentioned blacks when they were insulting or bad mouthing blacks. They did so to cater to their white male audience and to social climb at the expense of their own people whom they had walked all over.
Have I ever contacted such blog owners? NO, and never will. They can do whatever they want to do on a blog they clearly own. I simply stopped visiting. I don’t believe in writing to blog owners to tell them how to run their own blog. They have no reason to listen to me, especially when there are a million other blogs out there that I could visit.
Some gal named “Jasmine” from BlackPlanet website rolled up in here to inform me that I say too many “ugly” things about people, as opposed to showing Christian love.
So I looked at some of my blog topics on the cover page as of 11/10/07, and here is what I found:
1. I exposed a “whites only” bathroom in Georgia
2. I talked about a real estate mogul who was killed allegedly for calling her assistant some racial names—and I questioned why her assistant was smiling while she was being arrested.
3. I informed the “Johns” of Baltimore to PLEASE stop picking up nasty prostitutes and infecting their innocent wives. (this is where Jasmine posted her note. something about me calling out prostitutes bothered her)
4. I offered an update on the vile, child molester, “Apostle” Gerald Griffith, who tormented members of his church while supposedly “counseling” them in his office.
5. I begged women not to become St. Drew Peterson’s wife #5 (since at least TWO of his wives left him due to abuse, one wife is confirmed dead, another missing…)
6. I warned readers about drugs being put in toys coming in from China
7. I talked about cult leader and child molester, Warren Jeffs who has now admitted he is no prophet.
8. I posted a picture of the non-talented “Riyanna” grabbing another woman’s breasts. That would have been equally inappropriate had it been a man grabbing a woman’s breasts out in public.
9. I again warned readers NOT to send their hard-earned money to Louisiana to the Jena Six until we find out what on earth is going on with the money—especially since two of the boys in question have been profiling, taking pictures with the money on their clothes. That’s people’s hard earned money, thank you!
Okay, given the heavy topics I covered and the warnings about pedophiles and scam artists and murderers, how am I NOT showing love by warning folks? This is not a pink fluff website of sugar plums and dancing fairies. I cover heavy topics here.
I often do so via sarcasm and/or satire or even comedy to lighten things up a bit. But if you look at my topics, most are heavy. I’m too busy to post a bunch of cute fluff. Save that for someone else’s blog. Not here. I have some fluff, but not much.
My ultimate goal is the uplifting of the black community. So yes, I’ll expose pimps and prostitutes and drug dealers. I’ll talk about idiot rappers like a dog if they are hurting the black community.
Let’s take Drew Peterson. Should I show my Christian love by advising women to date and marry that man who is strongly suspected of murdering TWO wives and who has abused his wives and who keeps getting married over and over and over again? Or would it be a better show of love to warn women to FLEE from that dog faced nut case? Oops, I’m not showing love again, ya’ll. I just called him a name. Sue me!
And what about the “Johns” of Baltimore. How exactly should I show my Christian love for them? Should I do it by telling them I’ll “pray” for them and leave it at that? Or would it be a tad bit more effective to at least remind them of the obvious—almost ALL prostitutes are diseased and addicted to drugs. Almost all of them are HIV positive and NONE of them are fit for sex. They need help but not the type of help that Johns are giving them. Any woman who is out there giving public blow jobs and dropping her underwear for a stranger is sick. I don’t have a cute way to say that. Sorry, go to a fluff blog if the truth bothers you. I tell it straight here. I’m too busy to beat around bushes.
Jasmine, you hang out on the BlackPlanet website according to your email address, so you are probably a teenager or in your early twenties. I’m happy for your extreme heart of compassion that leads you to hunch your shoulders and ignore the ugly realities that are before you.
If your idea of showing love is to speak kindly about sinners such as the false prophets, Gerald Griffith and Warren Jeffs, then you and I have two different perceptions of what love is. Love does not molest children. Love does not beat its wife. Love does not lead innocent church members astray, while fleecing the flock. That’s not my view of love.
My opinion differs from yours. I am going to show my love to potential victims by warning them to stay clear of that vermin that is embarrassing the Body of Christ.
One more thing. I intend to keep doing exactly what I’ve been doing the same way I’ve been doing it. In fact, I’m about to kick it up a notch.
This blog is not for everybody. Not every “town” fits everyone’s tastes. And HickTown is no different.
Obviously it’s not for you, so why do you keep hanging around here? That’s a problem some women have. You hang in there too long in situations where you really need to walk out. That’s why so many women are left feeling mistreated by men. You clearly see what is wrong with the man in question. Yet, you keep hanging in there in spite of the fact that you are not happy.
My advice to you Jasmine is to roll out of here just like you rolled in. Go back to your rose colored world of cutesy websites and blogs that show booty shaking, happy negroes who live to party hardy, drink, get high and live from paycheck to paycheck. And love on, girl! HickTown bids you a hearty farewell. Thanks for stopping in to visit.
Oh, and as you “hit the road”, I have a parting gift for you to accompany you on your travels, compliments of Ray Charles. PRESS HERE for your listening pleasure.
Well, it’s time to do a summary of the year. First of all, my blog is new, believe it or not. It was initiated in July, 2007, which means that it is 5 months old as of today’s date. Can you believe that? I feel like I’ve been around much longer on this blog but no—only 5 months.
