AFRO-PUNK

... the other Black experience

afropunk 2013

The place to just put out how you feel about anything. Put your emotions & thoughts right now out there; complain, scream, shout out, give props, say 'screw you', say 'thank you', step off, shut up, whatever. Let it out.

Props goes Illaziam the originator who started this with his 'D-Bags' thread. Helped many of us vent out our frustrations, thanks for the carthartic venue Mr. Ill, make your voice heard!

Setting it off:

= Enough with the Obama-mania already. Put a moratorium on the overdone coverage until fall.

= Hey Miss Big Breasses, I believe you know damn well how you look when you leave the house. Yeah it's hot but if you didn't feel secure with that tight spaghetti-strap top that hugs your bouncy DD assets, don't wear it.

You look foolish walking around the supermarket with your arms covering your chest, grabbing your shoulders like you're trying to give yourself a half-nelson. It's part funny & part frustrating ('cause I couldn't get good glance, damn...). For real though, either wear less revealing clothes or deal with the unsolicted male attention (from nasty gawkers like me).

= You, Mrs. High Level Educator from another school, need to stop acting like you want to get hollered at. Keep the flirty looks coming and I will step to you. Regardless of what your rude, bratty daughter thinks about it. See how she likes it when I'm having breakfast at the house and picking her smiling Mom up for dates.
I'm only halfway joking...

= Dude, how many times am I going to ask you to not tell me any plot details of film I haven't seen? I will hang up on you right now...

Yeah that sun is downright deceiving folks out here. Down here it's really the wind causin the chills though. You wanna keep a jacket on but then when the winds stops blowing you get hot. I hate when the weather gets schizo like that.

=  Yes it was warm out for a minute yesterday.  And it's sunny today.  But did you step outside or check the weather?  It ain't shorts climate yet, honey.  Yeah your legs look nice but wonder why you're alone setting it off with the spring gear? 'Cause it's still c-c-c-cold out today!  And the wind is hawking. You got shorts, a hoodie on and all bent over trying to block the wind from your flame for your cigarette.   Got it all messed up.

I feel bad for Demi Lovato. Internet haters are always dogging her about her weight, but she looks fine to me.  

=  Folks gotta stop with the "Tar-jay" phony French pronounciation of Target.  I get the joke, Target is supposed to be a fancier, high-end Kmart or Wal-Mart, cool if you think that.  Yes, the environment is warmer & more socially appealing.  But that joke is way too old & corny, stop that shit, merci beaucoup.

 

=  I've enjoyed wearing my winter gear for a bit longer, aiight?  Now it's time for spring okay, Momma Nature?  I'm ready to pull my shorter sleeves out and put away my coats & sweaters if you don't mind.  It's cool the pollen hasn't spread yet but I could use some warm weather now, sheesh it's near mid-April.  Word PV this bi-polar weather is too unpredictable.

 

=  More reminders of why I gotta roll.  Keep 'em coming, I'm packing up literally & figuratively.

 

=  Soon come.  If all goes well I'm going to have them unlock my phone and go to a less expensive carrier.  Early thanks to all of you up here who advised me on the lower priced systems;  when this happens I'm gonna rave about it.  I'll keep Fios for net service but their overpriced phone charges can kiss my ass.

Hello everyone add me and check out my blog, you wont want to miss this!!

=  I was very excited to find your specific African Americana restaurant after I read the article.  I wish to bring my girlfriend and folks there.  Yes I should have seen the sign and I know you're busy. But you could have said at a word to me as opposed to just pointing at the sign. I know I may look strange but I'm sure I don't look that much more menacing than most of your clientele.   We even share the same style of wearing our hair.

I'm going to go against my base feelings and come back later.  I will give us both of us another chance.  In the past I'd say 'fuck this place' and never return but it's all good.  Maybe you had a bad experience with someone who looked something like me. Maybe you'd been having not the best day so far.  Maybe biz could be better.  I don't know but I will come and I hope the food and service are better than my first impression.  Trust me, I'm a nice guy who'll bring business to your spot if you allow me to. Best of luck, see you soon.

You're being a little vague bro. Break it down. What happened and where was it.

Okay just for you K; "broken down to the very last compound...":

I read an article about a Gullah/Geechie restaurant that sounded good, ran by this sister who had her photo in the piece.  I go searching for this spot and found it, walked up to the door.  I see the doors locked but the sister propietor inside.  She comes up and opens the door looking at me strangely.   With a smile, I politely ask when is her place open and she points at the sign without saying much (if anything) and walks back inside. I say 'thank you' and step away thinking I did something wrong.

 

Yes I was early and should have read the sign. But the current seemed a bit cold & unwelcoming from her.  I'm a sensitive dude which works in two ways:  1] I can take stuff too personally  2]  I can often feel when I'm not really wanted.  I could be completely wrong about the vibe I got but it was felt. 

 

Still I'm going to come back and try the food anyway.  It's possible I misread her body language but we'll see when I spend some money, eat the food and check the service.  Negroes like me expect to get friendly responses to their friendly actions but I guess I'm just still naive like that. I hope that she was just busy so I can get some good food at a local Black business.     

"...see how it sound? A little un(ir)rational..."

First rule of business

Do not alienate your customers, especially not when you are in a market where they have other options.

Indeed. 

Don't she know Negroes hold grudges? ...see that's why we can't have sh--; I'm going to the white/Asian/Indian spot... All she had to do was smile & say "Come back in an hour!" 

 I'm going against my Negrofied nature & still check her out.  I still love our Black indifferent-to-near-rude asses, warts & all.

Part II Operation Support Black Business coming soon...

Do it. Take the high ground. I have decided against that because our people really don't understand when their businesses fail due to bad service. I have been to some black restaurants where the people were very pleasant and I have been to black owned spots that were not. I always tell the people why I am not pleased with their service in a nice manner and then I don't patronize them any more. I have yet to see a business do well that does not respect it's customers.

I am really starting to lose hope for some of my black people not just in the baltimore area but america as a whole.

I held them in such high regard but they let me down time & time again.

They are so quick to hate and kill each other off for peer attention or funds.

And thing is that they don't care no matter what I do or say they will continue to act the way they were taught to act, that's where I draw the line.

They are a lost people with no individual being but I think that was one of the reasons why we were brought over here and why we are feared when we do band together.

Maybe we are cursed who knows? But I am against their current behaviour and attitude toward our condition. Read up on my passages until then I am done trying to set the example only to get hurt by the same people.

Good luck.

=  You want a guaranteed sure-fire way to find out who your real friends are?  Tell them you're moving and see who shows up.

Big props to my man who was there fron jump, I still got love for those who "missed" or arrive date, ha yeah.   Help is belp period.
