and FURTHERMORE!

In addition to the double standard we are witnessing in the wake (if you can even call it that) of the Ben Rothlesberger RAPE CASE we have pedophile Roman Polanski ADMITTING to having sex with a 13 year old girl and people are protesting and advocating for this case to be DISMISSED!!!!

Ok so maybe he was smarter than R. Kelly and not video tape it but c’mon people.

How can you morally justify calling for this man to be released? Because he’s a big time film maker? Explain that to Chelsea King and Amber DuBois’ parents then. A known sex offender was released and look what happened.

So let’s look at the score once again shall we…

O.J. gets accused of killing two white people but acquitted… HANG HIM!

Kobe gets accused of raping a white girl… HANG HIM!

Mike Vick fights dogs… HANG HIM!

Tiger cheats (which isn’t a crime) on his white wife… HANG HIM!

Now let’s look at the other side of things…

Michael Jordan cheats on his black wife… SO WHAT!

Shaq cheats on his black wife… SO WHAT!

R. Kelly pisses on a black girl… GOES FREE and releases platinum selling album

Brad Pitt cheats on his wife…leaves his wife…moves in with home wrecker and becomes one half of the All-American couple BRANJELINA!

Roman Polanski ADMITS to sleeping with a 13 year old girl… RELEASE HIM!

And Ben Rothlesberger gets two RAPE cases and no one seems to care…

Now in all fairness I will say that I didn’t necessarily agree with the FREE TOOKIE campaigns either. I’m happy he changed his life and did some things to contribute to the community. But he started something that would eventually destroy the community. And he took innocent and maybe a few not so innocent lives. We must all answer for our actions.

Thanks for reading and I hope you got your Good Drawls On!

Pardon ME White America...

Ok so late last year I had a series of blogs about Tiger Woods cheating and how his crime was REALLY cheating on a white woman. So today’s topic reinforces my point about the racial double standard in this country.

When the Tiger scandal happened the whole world was ready to crucify this man. When Mike Vic was fightin some damn dogs oh the confederate flags was-a-wavin! But now we got Big Ben Rothlesbooger with a RAPE CASE! And everyone is hush than a mah fu**a!

Its not like this cat is some unknown athlete…he’s a two time Super Bowl Champion and starting QB for the most storied franchise in the NFL.

WHERE’S THE OUTRAGE!

WHERE IS THE CALL FOR HIS HEAD!

WHERE ARE THE BURNING CROSSES AND CALVARY!

Was Chris Rock right? Cause it’s all White is alright? I wonder…

I just find it real funny how he soooo innocent till he’s proven guilty. But the dummy had TWO cases. Granted the first one was dropped but COME ON!

Now I’m not here to condemn Ben or call for his head. But the sad thing is that I highly doubt he’ll see ANY jail time at all. There will be some money thrown across the table and it will all go away. That is unless of course they find various semen traces in her underwear from different men (I know Kobe is STILL thankin God that girl was a hoe).

I want every middle America, Red State (and by red state I mean red neck) Pick up Truck drivin, Confederate flag totin White person who was cleaning their rifle when the Tiger story broke to speak up on this one! You were soooo pissesd cause he was breakin poor porn stars hearts.

Gloria Alred this goes for YOU TOO! Smug ass, wrinkled up, self righteous, ambulance chasin opportunist! She should be disbarred!

Well I’m gonna cut it short here before I bust a vessel.

I hope yall got ya GOOD DRAWLS ON!

Barzini's Guide to Facebook Etiquette Part 2

I know I haven't blogged in forever... but here is a lil something to hold you over till i get back.

Back by popular demand! Here is the second installment to safe and proper FaceBooking... The first installment saved a lot of lives. So I hope you all enjoy this one as well...

Lets get right to it...


1. If I talk to you on a regular basis…then you already know “How well I know you.” Cool it with the damn quizzes already…


2. I don’t care what you thought or how you rate movies. Dammit if I wanna see it I’m still gonna go.

3. How are you gonna convince me to join your Mafia by telling me how addicting it is? As if Facebook itself doesn’t rob enough of my time.

4. Have you ever been having a heart to heart with someone, then later see your conversation as part of their damn status…posted at the time they were supposed to be LISTENING to you…?

5. We know you jumped outta bed and “turned your swag on” so you won’t be “tardy to the party” in “Miami trick” cause you “have a big ego”. We get it already….damn


6. Quit spamming my wall up with your bogus ass relationships. First you in one, then you out, then you engaged, then it’s complicated…how bout you wait till you’re together a while before goin public.

7. I wonder if along with the single, in a relationship, married, etc. options if FB added “Jumpoff”…how many of you would be honest enough with yourself to check that option?

8. I don’t care what singer you are, what transformer you are, what MJ song you are, which of the Girlfriends or Sex in the City character you are, what city you should be living in, your dream house, which Real Housewife of Atlanta you are…to be honest I really don’t care who most of you are in real life…

9. I need you to learn how to use the comment box. Im tired of people responding to my status with a wall post. There IS a difference people…

10. Don’t poke me.

11. I find it damn ironic that people comment on how often

12. I’m logged on or that I’m ALWAYS posting something. Well…wouldn’t YOU have to be logged on or checkin my status to know that?

13. I won’t call you idiots…but I think it’s IDIOTIC when people get excited about the supposed accuracy of their damn horoscopes… if I see one more person say “ooohhh that is so me!” They are broad generalizations of common personality traits. They apply to EVERYONE genius!

14. Why do people update their status while they’re at the movies? And why am I on the toilet writing this?

15. Why do people announce that they are about to delete people from their friends list? I think its pretty audacious of you to think you’re THAT important that others would even care. I mean you act as if you didn’t request or confirm them in the first damn place. People don’t become part of your network randomly. And when you make that announcement, what are you expecting them to do anyway, start vying for your affection and approval? “Oh no PLEASE don’t delete me! You’re my whole reason for logging on!” Narcissism at its finest…

16. God loves you…we know, we know… but how would you feel if you knew he wanted to slap the crap out of you sometimes!

17. How many of you cry after reading your honesty box?

18. STOP TAGGING ME IN THOSE DAMN ZODIAC PICS! Besides, I’m only HALF Aquarius.

19. Ok listen. I have a lot of friends on here, or at least more than average. Many of which I actually know or have an association with. Now this may be partially my fault since I’m the type of person that doesn’t like to admit that I have no idea who you are. So if we should meet in person, please don’t expect me to be able to decipher your face in real life based on your FB pics (cause we know you only post the good ones). INTRODUCE YOURSELF!

20. Your comments on my status don’t qualify as a conversation or a memory between you and I. So I reiterate, don’t just come choppin it up all familiar. For one, it makes ME feel bad for not knowing you. Two, it makes YOU look bad for being a lame. Let’s establish a foundation first. THEN we can talk about a bunch a stuff you have no idea I don’t even care about.

Random: NBC has the most boring newscast.

21. Don’t text me saying “I tried hittin you up on FB.” First off if FB is your primary source of communication…you’re a LAME. And if you have my number…I’m not even gonna finish that thought.


22. I probably see “Chivalry is dead” posted about 10 times a week on average. When I see that, I immediately check your relationship status and have yet to see “married” or “in a relationship” next to it. Things that make you go “HMMMMMMMMMMMM”.

That's all for now folx.

As always, I hope you got ya "Good Drawls" on.

I love you all!

Barzini's Guide to Facebook Etiquette

Ok so we doin this Facebook thing for a lil while now and I think it’s time we address a few things…aight? aight…

First thing’s first…

1)Stop posting ambiguous ass messages to people that you’re afraid to address in person. Why does Facebook always seem to make people real brave tryna get the cyberworld to co-sign. Stop being E-Gangsters.

2)If you are at a party or gathering and something funny happens…can you designate ONE person to post about it instead of everyone at the party. Thanx…preciate that.

3)This is a HUGE one. STOP PUTTIN ALL YOUR PERSONAL BUSINESS IN THE STREETS VIA FACEBOOK STATUS’. Everybody doesn’t need to know everything you going thru in your life. You got 50 11 people in your friends list and not ONE you can CALL and share your feelings with? Facebook doesn’t care about your life.

4)We don’t wanna read your indirect commentary about how “ballin” you are, then come on here crying about the folx that owe you money! If you so ballin then stop bellyachin about someone who owes you money. It’s only dough right? It’s nothin to a BOSS right? GTFOHWTS!

5)Stop flooding my news feed with your EVERY move! This isn’t Twitter. But you can follow me on Twitter by clicking here.

6)If you fornicated at night, don’t wake up E-Preachin in the morning.

7)If your status begins with “Why do men/women always…” then its YOU that’s screwed up! Take a page from MJ and Make that CHANGE!

8)Stop sending me messages asking why I didn’t accept your damn hug, smile, gift, drink, car, house, booty squeeze, return poke, join your cause to make leaves green again, eradicate plastics goods, or make every Tuesday “Big Hat Day”. I don’t add all those damn apps to my page!

9)I don’t mind you sending invites to your party. But don’t give me the option to say NO or Maybe then send me messages asking why I said it. That aint yo damn bidness! Lemme make it easy for you. If your event is not in my vicinity, I’m most likely not coming. If your event IS in my vicinity, I’m most likely not coming. I support what and who I support when I decide. Respect my fresh homie!

10)Stop Status Stalking! Anyone have someone that has to comment on EVERYTHING you post? It’s like that person that ALWAYS seems to be in your neighborhood and wants to stop by your house. Ion wanna see you that much.

11)Stop getting all hella familiar with people in their status. People always gotta let the world know that you know someone. That is why an INBOX exists. Stop leaving comments that aint got nothing to do with the topic tryna be familiar. No one cares that yall know each other.

12)I don’t post my personal business on Facebook… Stop calling and texting me asking what I mean or who I’m talking about. If it concerns you, then dammit you’ll know!

13)I need to people to understand the “TAG” feature is REAL! If you are gonna lie about where you are or where you are going…it’s prolly not a good idea to be posing in erebodies pics and being the life of the party… Tagging has wrecked many a home in these parts.

14)And FYI I’m sleeping with every woman I pose with in my pics section. And the last time I slept with all of them was the night before you asked me about them.

Use Facebook carefully and always with you "Good Drawls" on...

Friends!

Friends...
Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun
How many of us have them?
Friends...
Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun
Ones we can depend on...

It says a lot about the character of a person who has no friends! It really makes me ask “what are you doing with your life?” I’m not saying that someone with friends is a bad person. But I do feel that without strong friendships a person is missing out the quality of life. You can be smart, successful, rich, and everything else but with no one to share it with, in my opinion it’s all for none.

What is your life worth if you gain all these individual accomplishments and have no one there to appreciate you for it? What is it worth to not have someone you can share your deep thoughts with? What is it worth to never have someone there to lend a hand when you are in need? What is it worth for no one to care about anything you do?

I hear people say all the time how they don’t get along with people. Or they don’t have time for friendships. I’m as busy as the next man, and at times I admit to not being as available to my friends as I should. BUT I stand comforted by the fact that I have REAL friends in my life. Friends that trust me with their lives, and that I can trust with anything.

Some people don’t even have friends within their own family.

I know someone who had a birthday party at a club, and not one person showed to celebrate with them. I can’t even begin to imagine how that must feel.

I can’t live that life. My friends are very important to me and a big part of my life.

To all my real friends that are reading this I thank God for you. I thank you for your hearts. I thank you for your ears. I thank you for putting up with me. I thank you for you love and support. Mostly I thank you for allowing me to be ME and still remaining my friend *cheese*

I strongly encourage all of you to mend those broken relationships. Constantly create new relationships. Preserve your current relationships.

The relationships that you create today do not only affect you. I have gained favor in my life based on my father’s relationships. I was never picked on in school based on my older brother’s relationships. And because of my relationships, when my son’s son falls down, there will be a hand there to help him up.

Get up and put on ya Good Drawls!! Life is short. Get everything out of it that you possibly can…

I love you all…

Legacy of a King

Not until the recent election of Barack Obama can I think of a man who affected the entire world the way Michael Jackson has.

His music transcended time, race, generations, and culture. Never has there been an artist who with his music can evoke joy, sadness, political awareness, and love. With a wave of his hand can move masses into excitement.

Today I am don’t know what to think, I just feel. So many of my memories coming up as a child include MJ. I idolized him for years.

How many of us have memories of doin all of his dances at family gatherings for the grown folx entertainment? How many of you remember getting excited when you first learned how to moon walk? How many of you still go crazy at a party when you hear an MJ classic come on? Who else do you know that can sell 90 million copies of a single album? There is none like MJ.

I can remember seeing him on TV perform “Billie Jean at the Motown 25 Celebration”. It was one of the most electrifying things I remember seeing. I wanted to be just like Mike.
I was sooooo mad when my mom never got my “Beat It” and “Thriller” jackets out of layway!!!

I can remember watching Moonwalker over and over and over again.

Who has ever popped MJ in the deck when they were feeling down? And if so who was able to stay that way? “Off the Wall” is the feel good song of my life. Followed by “Can You Feel It” and “Blame It on th Boogie”.

How many of you really did some soul searching after you heard “Man in the Mirror”?

One of my personal Jackson 5 faves was “Maria”…

Now that he is gone, what will we do? Who will be next?

The man who lives for nothing fears death, but he who leaves a legacy understands that he will never die…

Michael Jackson will never die. He has left us a long lasting unforgettable legacy. He changed the face (literally) of music and dance. He revolutionized the world of music videos. I only wish he got to live the normal life some of us enjoyed…even if just for a brief moment.

My heart and prayers go out to the Jackson Family…

RIP Mike 1958-2009
