I know it's supposed to be Niggas and flies, them both I despise. The more I hang around shiii..., the more I like flies. Ain't we supposed to be boycotting the N word.?So Why did I just use the word nigga and not boycott? Because the movie doesn't observe the boycott! The word nigga seems to be used in every last, and I mean seems to be used in every las,t scene dominated by the descendants of the African. So where is the umbrage from father Al and the Nigga police? Where is the for shame scream?!!!
What? Are Denzel et al, all of Hollywood and HBO black elite above the same scrutiny leveled at rappers and other writers?
Because of history--a historical treatment?
Right
See and that double standard is exactly why I'm not down with the boycott. Well not just that because we know that I use the word Nigga as a curse upon a person as I believe it should be.
Now if you are going to police yourself, if you are going to lead the people you must be consistent, unflinching. The law must be applied equally. Just as Al Sharpton and the NAACP would surely be talking about me using the N Word on this page if I were on their radar, just as the black media surly screams at every rapper for using the word, they must scream at this flick. Other wise the boycott has no credibility. Which I knew it didn't from the start. And the boycott looks like nothing more than a bunch of political/media opportunist with a collective case of ego-I-tist. Which they are.
Niggas and flies. And can't you just hear my disgust as I say it?
I mean where's Russell? Busy looking at Kamora? Ain't he the one talkin' bout No Nigga in rap?
Where's all the self righteous people who look so foolish?
I'll tell you where they are busy watching the movie looking at Denzel's man boobs. (As an aside--D yo' I'm a fan. But that scene after you got shot surrounded by the fam--not a good look. Join Golds, Ballys or where ever the rich and famous go to tone up yesterday, if you're going to strip to the wife beater on screen.)
And Bra, D, Denzel, Mr. Washington, you a grown man. A grown, very grown man. Far be it from me to tell you, but why? Why? Why? You don't need the money. You been getting 20 mill a flick for a minute. You don't even need to say I'd rather work at Walmart. But you go and do this flick, this piece of blacksploitation with its beautiful images and wonderful music which only serves to further the thug culture undermining our liberation attempts and killing our community. You go and do this. You already did training day. We know you can play a bad ass nigga. Your illustrious work in X got you a pass through Training Day. But for this gratuitous piece of Tom Foolery, behalf of your ancestors and mine I must brand you slave. For all to see, when viewed from the sun. For your efforts in keeping the true nigga culture alive, for selling out to either your ego or your pockets and working to keep the minds of the masses enslaved with your performance art, I brand you and all of you in this movie American Nigger--Gangster Nigger Slaves.
Even though it may break my heart beloved. Even Though I don't want to because I love you all so, your art and body of work. You see I must because I do the ancestor's work. And neither my pocket nor heart must dictate.For if it did I would only be you awaiting a chance to become a slave....to my ego or my pocket. On my knees before my people, although it may seem as if I'm fifty stories in the air to the masses. But those that know....
Know exactly what every one else who has read this piece do....For they look down from the sun where nothing can hide, neither money nor boycott.
