"Ghetto Pass Person of the Year: You, Caucasians"

"Assimilated Negro's "Ghetto Pass" series has done it again. Puttin it like is it and get you crackin the f*ck up! The last one for this year looks at the details of gentrification in our hoods. Its hard to pick and choose what to quote but this one, #1 on his list of 'types of caucasians you might find in your hood,' reveals his sarcastic humor quite clearly: The Black Caucasian - This is the Caucasian that is so adamant and vigilant about their pro-black opinions that you'd think they MUST be black if you had not already seen their pastier-than-paste person in the flesh. Someday they will all rejoice as black folk export them back-to-Africa on 100% genuine mahogany slave ships. Some of the other types will bring back head shaking memories of encounters with the kind in your hood if it's begun its process of being gentrified (also described in detail)...

Lynching continues...



This is cause enough to stop the city until the NYPD pays for crimes against our people.. To say that this is not "racially motivated" is bullshit.. Black on Black crime is racially motivated, Brown on Brown, Black on Brown, and Brown on Black are all racially motivated. The conditions created in our hoods, the dissimination of crack, guns, and the structural causes of poverty are all racially motivated systematic activities manifested by those in power whose interests are to protect their privelege and keep us fighting for crumbs. I don't give a fuck who shot, they were all there allowing this to happen, and people of color do abuse "power" when kept ignorant by its societal implications. As far as I know, being a cop is enough to expose the lack of critique and understanding of the systems and institutions motivated by racism and other forms of oppression, by perpetuating and supporting the system that continues to increase the number of us enslaved on the streets or in prisons...
