Yeah, I'm supposed to be on hiatus, but I want folks to look at this video. See what some of us have become.
Let's start with the fact that these women fighting seem to be missing parts of their clothing. Some are missing pants. Some are missing tops.
These are grown people fighting. Not kids, grown ups.
One of these "grown ups" is pregnant. She is fighting. A grown pregnant woman is fighting folks. Does she not know a kick to the stomach could lead to harming her child or worse?
What is the most pathetic thing about this video is the fact that there are men hitting women. A man and two women decide to jump a pregnant woman.
There are men referring to women as bitches. The cameraman is telling folks to "beat that bitch". The "bitch" in question is a PREGNANT LADY.
The worst part of all: Not one person is trying to diffuse the situation. No one thought to try to stop this mess? Someone else tries to jump in on the action, but no one tries to stop the fight. I understand you don't want to get involved, why not call the police? Alert the manager of the Burger King? Why the hell are we allowing this mess to go on in the year 2010?

Hey you guys,
You may have noticed that I don't post often and when I do, it isn't like my old posts. It's because this baby is HIGH MAINTENANCE. As a result, the blog is going on hiatus for a while. I'll be back, I think, but right now I have baby brain, and so I'm really boring, and can't be my usual angry self.
Dear Mel Gibson,
Please, just shut up. Seriously are you so race obsessed you are thinking about black men raping your now ex-girlfriend? I understand you don't like what your girlfriend was wearing, but honestly was she really going to get raped by a "pack of n*&#^@@"?
Mel I thought you would know this, having done Lethal Weapon with Danny Glover, but honestly, are black men like animals traveling in packs like wild animals in heat waiting to prey upon scantily clad Russian women? I assumed Danny Glover did not bring a "pack" of black men to the sets of all the Lethal Weapons and rape anyone, did he? I mean he played a mean "Mister" in "The Color Purple", but I thought he was just acting. Maybe he's a rapist.
I also assumed you would know better about using racial slurs. Remember that whole "Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world" thing and how everyone got mad at you? Now you are walking around using the n-word? Oh Mel.
Let's also discuss your need to refer to your baby mamma as a "b*#*%", a "wh*re", and a "f*&#(@(# pig in heat". I mean honestly Mel you made "Passion of the Christ". Would Jesus want you to be a misogynist? I mean Jesus didn't go around calling Mary Magdalene such names did he?
Do you really want to be labeled a racist and a sexist Mel?
Anyway, I hope you again have learned your lesson, but I know in reality you haven't, so I'm going to go ahead and let you go.
Sincerely,
Siditty
In Baltimore there are two unrelated cases of little girls contracting gonorrhea. One is aged 7, the other 18 months. The 7 year old contracted from her mother's live in boyfriend. He said the girl came on to him, rubbing against him. Now, if a 7 year old "comes on to you", do you go ahead and sex her up or do you go tell her mother and go get help for her, as that is usually a sign something isn't right?
Seriously are women so devalued in our culture, in particular black culture, that even little girls are nothing but objects to appease men?
Women do we not value ourselves and our children enough to protect them? Damn.
I don't know what is going on in Baltimore, but something is terribly wrong.
Why is YOUR grandma doing this? I mean isn't she a little old to be hooking? Isn't she a bit old to try the hip hop game? Why did she get YOUR cousin to help out with this? I mean YOUR cousin should know better, right?
Seriously how old is this woman? Shouldn't she be on medicare and social security. She appears to be old enough to qualify. She shouldn't have to turn tricks to make money at her age.
I loved this. It gives me a much different perspective. It's true, we have grown up to believe Africa is one huge country, one huge monolith of poverty,jungles, war, animals, and AIDS. Why do you think that people in the Western world, in particular the US have such a view of Africa, is it the fault of the news, or National Geographic?
Why is it when we think of countries with brown people or people of color we think such negative thoughts? Is it a result of colonialism, the very thing that many point to causing the abject poverty we are exposed to?
How do we combat "single stories" in our media so that we can get more balance and perspective?
