38 and down

Was outside yesterday with a few of my folk just talking, was a beautiful day in the A. Not to hot, not to cold, with a breeze just right tom make the shade feel that autumn was just around the corner. Was sitting the gallery owner next door and another brother who was a contractor, developer (self employed). A man parked and got out of presumably what I perceived was his car. He walked over to the gallery owner who was sitting in front of me out side of my shop.

He said, “you don’t remember me, but I came in your shop about 2 months ago. I wanted to leave you these CD’s I made to play whenever you have any event.” He left, and returned to his car. As he opened the door, I said. “He mane, there are four other folks here, next time speak to everyone.”

He responded, “my fault.”

My boy the developer said, “you know these young cats aint got no sense of what it means to be a man. He don’t know who could be out here. And It just seems that it is with the cats aged 38 and down. He should have looked everyone in their eyes and shake their hands.

“I added, and he should have started with the woman first, his son, then us and the one he directed business toward.”

My boy’s logic, although not infallible, was that black men born in the 70s that basically assumed their manhood in the late 80s and 90s, were less likely to have men around as influences in the homes as we did. He also suggested that although we had outside male influences, that we received such influences after the males in our family and neighborhoods had inculcated us to what the role of a man was or should be. “These new kats, although not all of them” to use his words, likely were influenced more by outside influences than influence of men in the home and therefore didn’t really understand left from right.

Any who, the gallery owner did not remember the kid. So I am just asking, do you think my folk had any merit to his argument. I mean this is also in honor to that old school kat Bernie Mac. I mean I wonder what he would have said regarding our discussion. RIP, departed at age 50.

gimme 10

I will free your mind today.
thought amnesty. u dont have to think - let me entertain u

Point of order: Don’t sleep, got that hot poke chop grease coming on deck next. “is u a bich or what” and “character, integrity and content”. Not to mention intro to Mephisian 101.

But today, I figured I’ll give yawl brain cells a rest, since my tractates bore a many folk and since I tend to not talk to much about dumb shit – albeit, politic is some of the dumbest shit I have ever ran my mind across.

So today. I decided to regress, and give yawl the ten most memorable places jones done done it at. I still wanna hit a beach, and an elevator. But This memory is for you, and yawl can use it as a tag for the tag minded, just give me props and I am invoking the anti tag rule, if u make the tag, u cant tag folk here never ever, forever never. And in no particular order, here goes.

1] In the middle aisle in the Coach section of an Air Ethiopia flight from the states to Addis. Specifically the Rome to Addis leg. It was right after 911, and the air bus seated 424 but only 17 on board cause folks were afraid to fly. They cut the lights off and make it night, real amenable to being rode.

2] on the hood of my old 74 cutlass supreme. In the rain, hood still hot. Torque achieved against the windshield is the bomb. See last pages of chapter 6 in A Matter of Attention for detail.

3] Fire escape in the snow in Chicago. True was a rushed job but a memory non the less.

4] Back of my pick up truck under a full moon in my front yard.

5] Memorable only cause I got caught by my folk Aunt, behind the sofa in her Aunt’s front room. And memorable because she just married a comedian with initials SH.

6] In my office during the day at a prestigious university I used to teach and do research at.

7] On a jungle Jim, in a park, way after midnight and Vat 69. Right above the slide. See pictures for both.

8] In a dorm room at the University of Calabar in Nigeria. Just classic, next day took a cigar boat to Cameroon.

9] Truck stop. They took turns, again throat. First rest area in Mississippi coming from ATL. Gratuitous it was.

10] Driving through a car was, just throat though. I think the suds turned me on. Didn’t gush though.

Now u aint have to think, hope u enjoyed and laughed. Wanted to do MARTA (moving Africans rapidly through Atlanta) but last folk said she made a promise to god not to have sex until marriage after a child. Soo if u feel folk here ask yo folk to give you 10.

addendun: y my daughter be trying to take her teeth out her mouth LMBAO. also made ribs, spinnach and sauted carrots tonight - potatoe bread came from store

Label me Cow

Point of order: 1] Its football season, a moment of silence

2] just finished jamming that Bootsy Collins “I’d rather be with you” and Ahmad Jamal "Misdemeanor".

So, for the record, I don’t hate McCain, I just think he dying. As well don’t hate Obama; he has just reducing questions to the general than toward the specific. Neither of them deal with the realities in America outside of being topical. They don’t see it seems, what is going on, or how we are loosing our country to outside global interest and that WE THE PEOPLE are loosing out daily in this ground war. Maybe I am wrong, but from not talking about China and the steel industry while in Pennsylvania to the foreclosures in Georgia when speaking of economics, I don’t hear specified answers from either. Case in point.

A British bank and investment firm has managed to buy a group of tenements buildings in East Harlem, New York. Now I have not heard either talk or mention this, not even in the topical sense of protecting America for Americans (which would be mandatory based on what I have read of both candidates’ economic agendas, if they are to work.

Now, not only is most of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac owned by Japan, Belgium and some selected Arab countries, Eastern and central Europe is getting in on the land grab. Dawnay, Day, the London-based investment bank, has dropped about £250 million on homes in Harlem, New York. Why, because they know that gentrification in America Urban areas is big loot, a cash cow. Not just a few building I add, but a few square miles north of 100th Street. This private bank, even opened a well staffed office in downtown Manhattan, under the name of Dawnay, Day US Real Estate Management.

We talking about more than 1000 acquisition in East Harlem in 47 buildings from the North side of Central Park from East 100th Street and East 120th Street. But I cant be mad at them, if I had Pounds, against the historical lows in the dollar.

But back to the front runners, they don’t even mention this kind of stuff yet they claim to focus on and target the grass root common man. These places, like here with the foreclosures, anywhere from 40 to 50% live below the national median income annually. And how do they get folks out after they buy the properties, they raise the rent, to $1000 per square foot and evict folk. They will talk about helping Fannie mae and Freddie Mac, as I said, but when it comes to regular folks, no mention, just the middle class. And just think, Harlem used to be a middle class community. A few years from now, middle wont be able to afford it anymore. And it seems on the surface that McCain or Obama don’t even know, for I do hope and believe they care. So you can call it what you want, and suggest you label me cow, cause yep, I got beef.

crook by another name is John McCain

Jones mane, folk here by all accounts is African – if a cat has kittens in an oven, don’t make them biscuits. But my heart is here, America, American me folk. So I talk and criticized for the common good, and in good faith, something that ALL politicians don’t know how to do, least since the FDR days, since now they tend to respond or react as opposed to think. So as a result, I have been very critical of these folk who are running to be this nations commander in chief.

Now don’t expect nothing sensational, nope jones, I just wanna be really real with thought. I mean I am Meek, just that and recant that Jesus was meek, but he would place the plague on yo azz with the quickness.

See for me, I have held Obama to a certain level, objective without age, race or him wearing his faith on his sleeve as being a factor. Such has been waited out; maybe that’s why some folks think I’m hard on Jones. I have done the same with McCain, with all of the prior, in addition to him not wearing his faith on his sleeve as canceling out.

Sometimes I think Obama just don’t know what he be saying or is just unaware of what his staff write policy wise for him. But McCain, I think folk think I’m stupid. Now I wont start with his recent debacle, when Tallahassee Democrat senior writer Stephen Price on Friday was thrown out of his rally. I mean so he was the only Black reporter, and so what none of the other local press was removed, I wont touch that. And nope, I wont touch what he said when he addressed the National Urban League, when he mentioned that he would employ military’s tactics in Iraq as the model for crime-fighting in American urban areas (code word for where black folk live).

No but on disposition and policy I will. Even when it comes to economics, education and yes, even the energy policy, he maintains a banal and sublime approach to problem solving that on the one hand condemns his opponents for beliefs his fellow GOP comrades have and maintain. Like Obama on pressure in tires to save gas, when the current governor of California have; but also with respect to nuclear power; when The two Bushes and Regan held a similar stance to the democratic front runner. I mean, he tends to come across as if he can only proffer that a military solution is an answer to all things. He suggest we expand our current off shore drilling when it would be more economically feasible to be looking at the Black Sea, especially if folks like Exxon Mobil, who suspect that there may be 10 billion barrels of oil reserves in the Black Sea.

It would not even surprise me if he sided with Attorney General Michael Mukasey’s call for Congress to authorize the indefinite subverting of the right of habeas corpus for any one, even US citizens to be detained if suspected as being a terrorist, over the side of liberty. This is problematic for me since he says that he agrees and continue handling the current war as GWB does. What “Mukasey is asking is for Congress to extend the war on terror forever and that folk the president say is a terrorist can be held indefinitely without a trial.

He already wants to stay in Iraq for ever, and his position on the Gaza Strip, makes me think that he may actually be one of the terrorist he himself describes. He supports Israel doing what it must to defend and protect itself, even if that includes the Israel's secret police withholding medical treatment to Palestinians in Gaza. Shin Bet Started interrogating Palestinian patients who needed to go to Israel for medical service after they set up the blockaded (which McCain supports). One would think a former POW would not support the practice of taking the sick underground to windowless rooms and using the threat of not getting medical help as a way to get them to tell on others.

And I aint picking on McCain, for just as Obama, they don’t really have an inkling of anticipation of what they are in for, but hat worries me is not just his stance on the war but as I mentioned briefly, his disposition toward problem solving. From his inability to stay on point with a decision (as he did on taxes saying he is down with a higher payroll tax for Social Security, when he pledged not to raise taxes of any kind ) to his open hypocrisy via using loop holes in his own campaign finance reform law (McCain-Feingold). He does this by using folks like the Republican Governors Association (RGA), a 527 with no donation limits.

Even on topical issues regarding ethics, he has failed my test, but so has Obama. But such is the mark of desperation for his attack machine aint even started yet. And best belive the GOP hoodrats will be in rare form. So another election year, and another ballot in which I will write my name in instead of either of the aforementioned.

the greatest evil

Point of order: 1] Cap and Miz represented at the shop. They say my new tag line is come to the dog club, and take yo teeth out.

2] Satire - A literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit.

First I lied. The McCain post will be next. Any who, I know that most of us are mad as hell at these big oil companies taking all our loot and grossing big profits while at the same time they getting they corporate welfare on (Slappz I know you will disagree). And yes they are a great evil, but the greatest evil if you asked me (which u aint) are insurance companies. And they seem to be of late, at least since Hurricane Katrina, putting it down.

Insurance is an easy business, all they live to do is collect premiums and try they best to keep from paying out claims. With the help of the GOP, Lobbyist and judges that unlike days of old, got money invested in all kinds of stuff, they may be making civil claims and law suites for the regular man a thing of the past.

Now it is very possible that I am wrong, but times seem to have changed for the worse. After the oral argument in the Exxon Valdez case, I realized that Judges aint judges anymore and making loot is the trump card, since Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. had to rescue himself from hearing the case cause he owned stock in Exxon. And then after the U.S. Supreme Court had a divided vote regarding the decision on Warner-Lambert Co. v. Kent, because making money for many of these judges, even on the local level is more important than administering justice. I mean they couldn’t even hear a class-action lawsuit that accuses more than 50 U.S. businesses of helping South Africa's former apartheid regime because just five of the nine justices could hear the case, and six are needed for a quorum. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Breyer and Alito Jr. have holdings in some of the companies named in the suit and Justice Kennedy's son works for another, Credit Suisse Group.

Now the aforementioned is problematic, but what has put the icing on the cake for me is how I have Notice the company Logo for State Farm on almost every baseball field in the majors, and even during the college world series. I was used to seeing their commercials on TV, but since Katrina, seems like they have taken a scorch and burn approach. Maybe it was due to State Farm Fire & Casualty Co. being charged with a "pattern of racketeering" as a result of them manipulating engineering reports after Hurricane Katrina so they could deny policyholder claims. Since then, goo-gobs of homeowners have sued their insurers for denying their claims after the Aug. 29, 2005, storm. It was the first time an insurer was charged with violating the civil Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization Act, commonly known as RICO.

Since then, State farm has been on a roll, trying to get politicians, including McCain and Obama, to limit and squash the ability of folks to file civil laws suits, with due process in front of a jury. State Farm has historically spent a lot on this, but they have steeped their game up as of late. State Farm has spent has hired the Fowler White Boggs Banker firm to lobby on its behalf. Like I said, State Farm has been pushing for changes in Florida's no-fault insurance law too.

So true, the Oil companies are not folks I like too look up to, I mean Im down wit making loot, but not via extortion. But at least they have a commodity that we demand. We don’t even need insurance, it’s a fabrication anyway and when we need it, they fight us tooth and nail to collect. Maybe this is much to do about nothing, I mean they are the biggest crooks next to politicians to me, but at the rate that judges are recusing themselves, they may just want to give all judges stock in their company and they won’t have to worry about law suites at all.

Is that u

I will free your mind today.
thought amnesty. u dont have to think - let me entertain u

Point of order: 1] McCain Post will be up no later than Tuesday – that mutha fucka think I’m stupid mane. Label me as Cow likely will be up Wednesday.

2] That Angel trade was for real though, Dana Dana. And shout out to my folk for making me artist of the day.

Jones mane, folk here aint got no problem with putting himself out there – for if you want to find jones, for whatever reason – u can find me, im here, and buy a book for directions. Add to the aforementioned that I write what I feel and think, and write for myself first not to impress am jones because I don’t get down like tha. I’m a writer don’t write to impress no one but folk, and aint scared to share self ruminations with the world – can u say secure. Here goes.

*After 16 to 18 hours days don’t be mad if I expect to come home and in joy (intentional mutilation of grammer) u at door on your knees (when no kids) or in bed assuming the position, and don’t trip cause I’m cooking dinner and washing and folding cloths, 2 more hours wont kill me when I aint wanna leave the shop anyway.

*Don’t get mad cause folk a Te- Killa jones.

*Don’t be saying thangs to much, or that I’m trying to get u fat cause I fix your place like mine like a proponent of equal rights posed to do? Aint nothing gone be thrown away lil momma between me and my seeds – we don’t get down like that.

*Dont act like u aint ever seen a gat or some one carry one.

*Dont be afraid of bugs or expect them not to exist in the deep south, especially on 11 acres.

*Dont be mad if i wanna work all day, and dont think im with no broad or disrespect profit over pu***

*Hope movies aint your thang, unless I get them from my boy Pete, 10 for five, cause I’d hope a used book store would be just as pleasurable. Or a wine store or the gun show or plane ole sofa.

*Don’t get mad at folk cause he wont go to the doctor and will tolerate pain (which is mental) any way to work and provide for his family.

*Keep your word and do what u say – period.

*If either one of us do something that we ourselves consider or think is foul, then we just descussate peacefully, no second chances or moon walking, straight?

*Kid clause – Yawl aint my friends, yawl the kids, im the parent, do what I say not what I do, or get that azz broke off. Str8

*Don’t make me into a vegetarian if I got Incisors and canines, and cook me pig ears if I want and u love me. Besides tofu causes dementia.

*Be able to listen and dont get mad at me for being quiet, saying nothing and listening - when u will say i dont

*Dont be mad cause my definition of a dateis walking holding your hands or cuddling with u when i want to: and be able to let me tell u anything, how I feel and dont say men dont do that.

Got some more folk but don’t to run my readership off, song for today already doing it. Just asking is that you?

U should be crying

Point of order: My folk was in town, couldn’t get by the shop. Said the blog was tight, but like his lyrics, falling of the deaf ears of the lame, mute and blinded. This is for you.

“i’m from where the catholic church is some racist shit,
they helped europe and america rape this bitch,
they pray to white spanish jesus whose face is this,
but never talk about the black pope gelasius,
i’m from where soviet weapons still decide elections,
military’s like the mafia — you pay for protection,
catamite sex tours is what the country sells,
and rich white business men make the best clientele,
i’m from where they too pussy to come film survivor,
and they murder coca cola union organizers,
i’m from where the justice system está podrido,
fuck government niggaz politic over perico,
rebelde concido, enterado vivo, como otro argentino desaparecido,
cuz rico laws don’t apply to the cia,
and muthafuckaz make sneakers for a quarter a day,”…… Immortal Technique

Take that Jeezy, Lil Wayne TI and the rest of the female dog gluteus maximus Negroes who claim to keep it real - real stupid

Talked to my folk last night. My home boy from the cut. He aint call me I called him. I love jones to death. Same neighborhood and same social club that twelve call a gang. I called him because his ex called me. She my folk too and I love her to death also. She asked me to speak with him. She said that his son would call him but that my boy would not call him back.

Now men, this will come from my heart. There is no greater blessing than the love we receive unconditionally from our kids except that of God if one believes such. For the life of me, I cant see no reason in the world why a man, in particularly one that claims to be such, and has planted himself in a woman to result in fertilization and the resulting blastocyst, cant see this greatness, especially even in vanity, of what he has created.

Personally, in the world we have around us currently, I want my seeds around me as much as possible. And when they are not around me, although I don’t worry and keep the love I have for them and that I suspect the have for me in my heart, they still contrive to cross my mind incessantly.You dont know what u missing, when im not with my daughter, when she sees me she holds me and wants to sit on my lap and hold me with her head on my shoulder all day. And my son, as son as i get in when he dont see me, he like "hey pops" and ask my advice and opinion on everything. We all sit at the table like to day and laught and talk.

So I won’t get deep, or nothing like that, just short and simple, but for all yawl men, that claim to love and miss your kids, show me, and I aint from Missouri . Cause if it was me, I’d be mad if I missed my child’s call, and even worse, every time I saw a man with his son or daughter in the street smiling and hugging and holding them, I’d buss out in tears, and my fault folk, but I think yawl should be crying too. Good day.

addendum: i have come to realize we are lost. Folks dont understand the economy, and wonder y any job is better than no job and how stupid u ask, we will turn down a job in a recession, for paying 7$ an hr and we aint got one - go figure.

Brain cells will collide

Had a dream last night. And folk here don’t dream much. Don’t know if I was on Meet the Press or at a presidential debate. Guess all yawl folk precariously (depending on uncertain premises) suggesting I be a candidate for the Presidency or even an advisor of some form. Any who, here goes the dream. First shouts out to Pretty Black Gold and At-alien (4 this pic of how I get down- an no I didn’t have my gat, it was at shop, sorry pretty black for when in Rome do as the Romans) for the love – or should I say brain or teeth lust. So there I was.

Soledad O’Brien: Your message is somewhat caustic and direct, how do you expect the electorate to befriend you?

Jones Here mane: Folk, I aint trying to be nobody’s friend, I’m trying to get they kids educated, learn and do math, stack some chump and love they neighbor as themselves, if that’s foul so be it, but best believe folk who out side these boundaries gone know jones here manner and have to deal with folk on the up and up, for real though.

Larry King: Yes Dr. Stephens...

Jones Here mane: T, T-Bone or All-mi-T, my momma aint name me Dr.

Larry King: Well T, to follow Soledad’s question, your message is intemperate. Have you ever thought you may be a little to direct for the voting public?

Jones Here Mane: Jones, mane, first of all, folk here aint steel, aint tempered, no maybe uncouth and uncultured but never tempered. The truth will set u free, free your mind and your ass will follow, and I don’t steal words, that’s from George Clinton

Jonas Goldberg: Dr. Stephens, you have referred to your opponents as having “explicative boy positions on the economy and have referred to their health care plans as being of the female dog gluteus maximus variety”, can you elaborate?

Well it aint rocket science [cell phone rings] Let me get this folk.

Cell Phone Conversation (Jones here Mane): Whad up Folk?......Naw mane, up in this debate folk, whad up though? Well Let me hit you back, I’m on TV mane…..No yawl don’t need to come up her, I’m straight…….Good look folk……Love you Jones.

Sorry, but in esoteric terms, albeit I do not have the desire to provide a locution leaning toward platonic rationalization, I feel that any economic position that does not express or explain why this country is slacking in contrast to other nations is feculent. Moreover, if it does not deal with the tenable interjection of the Amero in our future economy, it is just plane ole fuck boy talk – im sorry. With regards to my solution, you know me mane, education and manufacturing productivity. I have some slides of the stochastic projections of how it may look based on what is transacted in exchange of dollars when the new currency will be introduced but your producers would not allow me to use them or use a chalk board.

And true, all my candidates on this stage to me have never studied epidemiology, let alone public health, in particular as it is a function of the dollar bill and capitated health practices, so in summary if the shoe fits wear it.

Anderson Cooper: Dr. Stephens,….

Jones Here mane: Excuse me, but cant yawl ask these other mother fucas some questions Jones?

Anderson Cooper: If I may continue. With your positions, although believingly pragmatic and workable, how do you expect to carry the white vote, by all accounts you may be too frightening to many.

Jones Here mane: If I may be Anderson, I mean Frank, that’s one of the dumbest queries I have ever had directed to me. First I am a single parent of two and I don’t scare my kids, and Frankly, Anderson, I’d rather be with them if this wasn’t taking longer than your folk told me. Second, I fell the question should be objective, and it should be asked to my white counterparts. I have never heard you ask them about scaring the African American Vote, or about the white vote. What’s next, carrying the male vote. How you get on TV Jones….Don’t make me take my teeth out my mouth.

Anderson Cooper: Could you please answer the question?

Jones Here Mane: I answered it twice as well as added some additional innuendo for some sound bites, and I aint cuss.

Larry King: This is my last question. You are critical of the Current wars as well as the current administration how could you assure us that a similar quagmire would not be the legacy of your administration?

Jones Here Mane: Great question. I would like to point out grammatically speaking, could infers the conditional. So conditionally speaking I would take a different approach. Won’t send our folk to fight for us, Im head raw dawg. If we gotta problem with another country, best believe folk her gone represent, or DO his best. I will ask for 20 US citizens to volunteer to have my back, kick where ever we gotta jet to and just trust me, things will be handled for this republic as best I can and as best I see fit. Yo, can I break out in to my final statement? I gotta go get lil momma from the sitter and catch the last of my sons baseball game and cook dinner.

Moderator: If the other candidates don’t mind, we will make this exception.

Jones Here Mane: I would like to thank all yawl for hearing folk out. Especially all yawl news Jones asking me umpteen questions in a roll. Look at the others and look at me. I got your back, it aint about the loot, although I love the idea of free worldly travel, aint bout that either. I can handle mines mentally, astutely and even informed, without advisors unlike top dawgs in the past, but Im still gone have advisors. I aint gone try and hood wink yawl, I can do this, and truth be told, me against them will just be brain cell colliding at a disadvantage, for brain cell against brain cell, Ill smash am mother fucker any day. And I canrock a suit and make hot water cornbread too. Thank you

I woke up had to fix breakfast. We headed to the shop with a desire to sell stuff for dogs. Good lookin' and thanks for the dream, but I aint presidential material.

Our America aint black or white – it’s green

I’m hopeful everybody got they fix of CNN this past week, I’m sure they got some huge ratings. Unfortunately, I don’t get down with talking heads and think they may be doing more to divide America than bring us together. I mean the title alone, sure there may be two three or four Americas, but I don’t think a TV special does anything than tell folk what they already know and experience. Unless we live under rocks like Armadillidiidae vulgare, excuse me I mean pill bugs or Earth worms. Strange to me also was the timing, while Obama was on his worldwide tour. Folk brought out 200 stacks of folk out in Germany. Yep, it was a good look, but what does it do for me is my query?

Last I heard Germans don’t vote up in this camp. And I aint hating, I said the same thing about McCain when he was in Israel. Not to mention, I was gonna post on his lameness today but some more brain cells started to twitch – thus the current thought crime. As I have said in maybe too many post, our economy is fucked. As well, I have recanted a number of factors and postulates as to why we are experiencing what we are. Unlike the pundits or politicians, I have offered DOABLE solutions to this economic conumdrum.

But the way I see it, it will only get worse if we don’t take control and create our own reality. Now I’m no leader, but I was taught that leaders do two things: create their own reality and know how to say thank you. What have they created for me thus far is a porridge of unknown proportions. I se e the Dow Jones, and I see it loose and then make up some of the ground, but each time it does gain its losses, it looses another 200 to 300 points and need I remind you, that aint a good look. Dow Chemical profits dropped almost 30 percent over the past quarter, namely from what they say was due to spending 40 percent more on fuel and raw materials. Starwood Hotels, the folk that own Westin among others reported a 28% loss this past quarter and Kimberly Clark, the folk that make Kleenex and Huggies, reported a loss of 10% (do to rising energy cost as well). These are just the past quarter, I would add the last year but I don’t wanna cry in public.

The problem for me, outside of the political presidential hopefully not dealing with such specifics, is that it is only happening here in this country. I mean Daiwa Securities in Japan expects a profit of any where from 200 to 300 million over the next quarter. Credit Suisse can manage to mogul a billion dollar plus profit for the next quarter when overall net profits dropped. The Qatar Investment Authority has just increased its stake in Barclay PLC of London by more than 6 percent or $9 billion.

Now all American Based companies aint fucking up, I mean ask Occidental Petroleum, they profits increased 63 percent the past quarter, that’s right, they in oil. Now don’t get upset, so I aint watch Black in America or what ever it was called. All I am saying that the America I love and know has been foul to me and mine; that it is not black or white or mauve or polka-dot. If such was the case, we would have the black and white IRS and the Yellow and red Federal government. We have neither. The America that is ours (me my, son, and daughter) is green (dollar, dollar bill yawl), regardless of the denomination. That must and should unite us all, what color is yours jones?
