Good evening, Joe Thomas here, with things that White People Cannot say.
Racial slurs come in many forms. Phrases that instill hate towards a culture can cause harm that physical assault may never achieve. possibly the most offensive racial slur is, to be PG, "the 'N' word." Originally used to demean slaves further, "the 'N' word's" official definition is "a person of color or a specific origin regarded as ignorant, inferior, etc." Being called so for so long, some African Americans adopted the term into their everyday slang, replacing the "er" with an "a", even using it as a term of endearment. Yet to be refered to as such by anyone outside of the race is still considered an offense punishable by a brutal ass kicking by ever black person in earshot. Some latin americans and Asians think it's okay to say, but the last Peurto Rican to say "the N word" lost his job and is now living under a bridge. In short it's our word, don't be caught slippin. "The N word," however, isn't the problem.
Famous rapper Snoop Dogg, known for his smooth pimp talk, has a talent of taking ordinary words and making them sound hip by dropping all letters but the first, and adding "izzle." For example: "house" is "hizzle," "sure" is "shizzle" and so on. The new "izzle" language took off across the globe, used by those of all cultures. Rappers were using the the lingo in their songs, and it is there that the problems begin. Hip hop artist are widely known for using "the 'N' word" sporadically in there lyrics. But with the new "izzle" language, they used the lphrase "Nizzle." Apparantly, whitey wasn't quick enough on his toes to realize what he was actually saying when he was singing his favorite rapper's song and he chanted out, "fo shizzle, my nizzle!"
Unacceptable. Millions fought and died for the freedom of african americans, so when u call me a "nizzle" you're taking all of that away from me. Do I look ignorant or inferior to you? Or do you just think that since it has a funny spelling and pronuciation that it isn't the same thing? Fuck that! I'm nobody's nizzle, and everytime you think its okay to say it, you set black people back 100 years by supporting coonery. Saying nigger in any form or fashion will not be tolerated. Call me a nizzle, and you will receive a swift kick in the ass. I'm Joe Thomas, and this has been another "Things White People Cannot Say."

ROSHAMBO??
I understand how scissors can beat paper, and I get how rock can beat scissors, but there is no fucking way paper can beat rock. Is paper supposed to magically wrap around the rock and leave it mmobile? Why can't paper do this to scissors? Scre w scissors why can't paper so this to people!? Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they take notes in class? I'll tell you why because paper can't beat anybody! A rock would tear that sh!t up in like 2 because paper can't beat anybody! A rock would tear that sh!t up in like 2 seconds. When I play rock paper scissors I always choose rock. The when somebody claims to have beaten me with paper I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say, "oh shit I'm sorry, I thought paper would protect you, you asshole!"

Derrion Albert
16 year old honor student of Fenger High in Chicago, IL was beaten to death last Thursday after school. Surveillance videos show that it was a fight between about 30 teenager. it was a recording on a student's cell phone that proved it was a fight between two rival gangs.
no guns. no knives.
feet, fists, and wooden 2x4's.
I am skeptical to believe whether or not Albert was a gang member. He had on the black t-shirt and khaki pants that about half of the fighters in the video had on. witnesses say that he was trying to intervene, "trying to help another student and kind of got mixed in with the crowd of the fight and he was hit"
YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS VIDEO. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE WATCH THIS VIDEO AND SEE HOW SERIOUS GANG VIOLENCE IS AND THAT IT STILL EXIST. THE GANG MEMBERS ARE GETTING YOUNGER, THEREFOR EVEN MORE WRECKLESS. YOU CANT BE APART OF THE SOLUTION UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND HOW SERIOUS THE PROBLEM IS. THE VIDEO IS VERY GRAPHIC, BUT IF YOU CAN WATCH SAW VI OR FRIDAY THE 13TH, YOU OWE IT TO THE MOTHERS OF THESE KIDS WATCH AND SPREAD THE WORD.
the video is on youtube, mediatakeout, and a dozen other websites.

Things White People CANNOT Say
The habits of the african american culture varies from day to day. The way we act can go from civil to crunk in a matter of seconds. The foods we eat range from gourmet delacacies to pig feet. The way we dress goes from pants that are too big that hang around our asses, to pants that are too tight that hang around our asses. We even have names for the way we act. There's the dope boy swag, futuristic swag, black boy white boy swag, and the more complex, super-fruity-crazy swag. Our language is possibly our best asset. No offense whitey, but we just talk a lot cooler than you do. We take everyday words and use them in phrases that baffle white people so much that even when they try to keep up, they fall too far behind and get lost. The place where drug dealers sell illegal substances is a trap. To spend frivolously on top of the line products is to ball. If you're a man and you have a lot of girlfriends, you're a player. If you're a girl and you have a lot of boyfriends, you're a hoe. The way we talk as black people is like morse code; you may hear it, yet not understand it. One word that we use here in the south has faded in and out of our dialect over the years. It is a word used to describe a person, but never a specific type of person. Whether you're male, female, young, old, big, or small, you are subject to be called shawty. It doesn't matter if you're the size of a hobbit, or as tall as yao ming, shawty is a perfect adjective to describe you. But the second it comes out of those thin pink lips of a white person, it just doesn't make sense. I'd rather you call me a nigga, at least that word comes to you naturally. You just sound stupid sayin shawty- look? I don't even sound right sayin that, I'm too light skin for that. Look, I'm telling you this to save you the embarassment, don't say shawty, son, kid, bra, homeboy, patna, you just sound like an idiot. I mean, we may sound like idiots too, but at least not corny idiots. This may not be a word that'll get ya ass beat, but you'll get made fun of so bad you woulda wished you got jumped. So there you have it folks, shawty has been stricken from the white guy dictionary once and for all.

The Blueprint 3
1. What We Talkin' About
-Hov does it again with an intro that could've been a single. He (as usual) calls out the names of those who dare state his in vain. Slightly repeatative, but still quality
2. Thank You
-Amazing track. The chorus is a little questionable, but he makes up for it with one of the best beats on the CD, and he comes with it hard with his lyrics and delivery. ("We are REALLY high, REALLY HIGH TONITE!")
3. D.O.A.
-It was impossible for me to dislike this song, probably because he talks about what I've been thinking(about hip hop) for a long time. His delivery wasn't that great, but no big deal, the beat makes up for it. Seriously though, if you don't like that beat you need to get your hearing checked dude.
4. Run This Town
-Jay had one good line in this song; "And they ain't spendin no cake/ they should throw their hands in cause they ain't got no spades." Other than that, it shoulda just been a Kanye West and Rhiana colabo, cause Jigga wasn't talkin bout shit. 'Ye killed it though, and I'm happy to say that I am a believer again, I had disowned him after his whole autotunes phaze.
5. Empire State of Mind
-For a hot second, I wished I were from New York. Possibly the best song on the album, Hov represented where he was from better than any artist has in a long time. ALICIA KEYS CAN SING HER ASS OFF!
6. Real as it Gets
-Well the only reason I like this song is cause Jeezy is in it, and even his verses are mediocre. I barely even remember what Jay was talkin bout in this song. I'll be skipping this track in the near future.
7. On to the Next One
-Really, it's hard to dislike a song produced by Swizz Beats, no matter how corny it is. Beat(of course) is sick, Jay is gonna be Jay, and altogether, the song is enjoyable
8. Off That
-Hov made Drake his bitch in this song. You're tellin me that Drizzy is supposed to be the next best thing, but all he gets is to sing the lame ass hook? Shit on that, if it's me, you gonna hafta let me spit 16, cause otherwise this song is gonna suck balls. And soooo, the song sucked balls. That beat was really weird too. NEXT!!
9. A Star is Born
- I enjoyed this song up until the third verse. I like how he acknoledges all the greats of our time, but then he starts talking about himself, as if he doesn't do that enough already. It's an okay song though. (Is it me, or does J.Cole sound like Lupe Fiasco?)
10.Venus vs Mars
-I liked the concept of this song. The word play was clever and I always enjoy a simple beat. I could live without the third verse though, who cares about the break up scenario.
11. Already Home
-This is my favorite song on the album. Hov showed his ass in this one, never letting us forget that he is the man. All three verses were precisely what they needed to be, and put together with that beat, hard not to like it. Kid Cudi earned my respect too; I understand now that he doesn't want to be classified as a rapper, but an artist, which he is.(I still think that lonely stoner song is annoying and just plain weird.)
12. Hate
-Um, I liked this one. Very strange beat, but Kanye was back in his element, like he felt right at home, and then Jay let loose and relaxed a little. I like how they kept it short and simple as well, no need to draw it out for three verses.
13. Reminder
-When the beat dropped, I thought I was in for a real treat. I cranked the volume up and stopped what I was doing to pay close attention. By the time the chorus started, I wanted to rip my hair out. Jay shows his age with this one. Wack.
14. So Ambitious
-The beat is nice, hook is cool, and Jay does his thing...but it kinda reminds me of that song on near the end of The Black Album that I liked at first, but eventually skipped over.
15. Young Forever
-Great way to finish an album. He takes us on a ride through his life while he looks back at his glory years. But it was after listening to this song that I realized that Hov is going through a mid life crisis. When he started his career as an artist, it was at the height of two of the greatest artist of all time's career. They became icons during their lives, and legends in their deaths. Dying in their twenties, Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G. never had an opportunity to make a really dissappointing album(something that isn't hard to do when you get older and become irrelevant). At forty years old, Jay Z doesn't ever want to become irrelevant, but be Young Hov, forever.
