Do Better Wednesdays!

Tecora Brown

The 73 year old Ms. Brown was charged with first-degree racketeering and second-degree theft by extortion on April 21st in Superior Court. Yeah, you read right... Ms. Brown was "pimping"... LITERALLY. But get this, she was ratted out by her own son... smh. This truly is a sad story... The son allegedly found seemingly desperate girls from the internet by promising them that having sex for money would be very lucrative for them, and then forced them into prostitution...The prostitution ring also included a niece and a nephew of Tecora Brown... tisk, tisk. :(

Do Better Wednesdays!

So this week we have a DBW nomination from your favorite guest blogger Abu!!! Enjoy! :)

The Rise of The Fonzworth Bentley Douche!!!
(lawyer by day, black socialite by night!!)

dun dun, dun dun duuunnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Scene: November 2008. A glorious Barack Hussein Obama takes his place amongst a raucous crowd in Chicago, Illinois. His opponent, John McCoo...I mean McCain has just conceded defeat. Many say that this moment was a culmination of the blood, sweat, and tears set forth by the sufferings of a downtrodden people. Sacrifices of soul and even life by the likes of Malcolm X, W.E.B. Dubois, and Dr. Martin Luther (tha) King Jr. I say, “no way”. The source of the Obamhemian’s, (walk with me, I’m trying out new nicknames for the President), power came from the one group that supported BHO since day 321, after the Iowa Caucus when they thought he may have a chance to win. The standard bearer for what is seemingly “right” with black folk, (according to their own world), the spirit of what a mind is when it is not wasted terribly, The Walking Epitome of “Obamabot”, the one, the only....”Fonzworth Bentley” douche!!!!

The Fonzworth Bentley Douche walks amongst us all. He’s your brother that went to Morehouse, your sister that went to Spelman, your cousin that attends Ohio State law school, yo’ potna out of SMU. Black Collegiate Ga..I mean, some members of nationally recognized historically black fraternities and sororities, you are included too. Even Cousin Jeff, Stephen A. Smith, and Roland Martin lay claim to this prestige fraternity.

I know what many of you are thinking. “What is this fool talking about? What exactly is a Fonzworth Bentley douche?”. I enlisted the help of my favorite magazine, GQ, to help me out with just this description.

“Is it possible to be in the International Leadership Program while also being president of Alpha Phi Alpha while also getting all militant about the white power structure while also promoting a biweekly hip-hop showcase? Yes? Then you're just barely keeping up with the status quo at Morehouse—good luck getting into Yale Law!

Affectations: Yellow V-neck sweater with orange-and-blue bow tie; box-seat double date to Coldplay show at Philips Arena.

Most likely to: Be a lawyer by day, black socialite by night.”

(waiting for gasps to subside). Yes, many of you have either come in contact with, or met this exact douchebag. And if you are in denial of this person’s existence, then you my friend, are that douchebag. But never fret, I am here to help you all and set the record straight on how to identify and deal with this concerning epidemic that has swept our communities.

This nuisance’s form is very subtle. There are a couple of common factors in identifying the FB douche, no it’s not clothing although I am seeing a trend of cardigan sweaters, skinny jeans, flannel shirts, and bow ties popping up in correlation with our subject. The main identifier of this clan is a college education and the aroma of entitlement that has seemingly come with it. Many of the FB douches believe that their degree has given them knowledge beyond their years. They feel that critical thought is but an obstacle in the way of what is truly important: looking right more so than actually being right. All the FB douche has to do, is sound righteous, say a bible quote, and have three friends that co-sign and wa-lah, they are correct in their ways. Proof be damned! Their degree is a virtual skeleton’s key into the myriad of subject matter that the world has to offer, from politics, to sports; bio-molecular engineering, to economics, this former political science major knows it all! A virtual Leonardo Da Vinci, in the many aspects of life they “know”.

You darn right, “stack dat cheese”. In the eyes of the FB douche, “we all need to do better” BET, the hood, and Vh1 included, eventhough they continually watch both television networks faithfully and never graced the hood in their collective lives. “Keeping it real” is so much of a priority that by watching rap videos, and hearing about “the struggle” from their friends, the FB douche convinces themselves into a want to move to the “hood” and live amongst people, whom he/she never interacted with in life. Or, worse yet, live in the suburbs and actually come to the hood and try to kick it! Now that’s keeping it gangsta! (well until you get your graduation gift broken into or become impregnated by big mookie from Stone Road, who hasn’t had a job since been had a job).

The FB douche feels that by dressing nice, being involved in black only campus activities, and dialoguing to death, the world will become a better place.

Forget the fact that a degree is only a door opener and what you do once you’re inside that door depends on you, the FB douche believes that the more degrees you get, the more of the building you own regardless of effort.

It is the FB douche that can impressively tweet the state of the union play by play and the BET Awards all on one blackberry, but yet never read a newspaper about current events not pertaining to Obama. It is the FB douche that can join organizations galore and show that they do have the capacity to be multi-faceted but yet counteract that by only joining groups that are within the same social realm. It is the FB douche, who can be the most divisive to their own people that they claim to want to “help” by continuing look down upon and talk about the people in those very hoods but never take the opportunity to actually talk to those who are in the struggle as opposed to assuming that “their plight is of their own fault”. It is these very same souls who have mocked those who chose to walk in their own skin and collude with all walks of life regardless of skin tone because in fact, that is how the world really works. It is the Fonzworth Bentley douche that “has to do better”......

DO BETTER WEDNESDAY!


So twitter was crazyyyy yesterday night! Everyone was tweeting about an alleged sextape that was filmed in a FAMU (Florida A&M University) dorm room. I tried to watch, but it was just too nas nas for me... Well, needless to say this caused an uproar... To think that college students were hosting orgies in dorm rooms was just unreal.... Not to mention the stigma that is already associated with HBCU's (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), as them being "lesser than" and those that graduate from them with an undergraduate degree aren't able to compete with students that went to other universities when applying to graduate schools that are not HBCU's.

Well, after speculation all day of whether or not the tape was real it was finally ruled as a fraud. Turns out the "students" were competing for a $10,000 cash prize on a website called dormdare.com.

One of the girls on the tape had (it's gone now) a twitter page (@PRINCESSKEKE562)... She tweeted things such as:

@beeuamazing THANK U ...CAN U SAY IT AGAIN SO THE HATERS CAN HEAR U// LOL IM IN MY BIG ASS HOUSE LMAO @ THESE DUMB *BROKE BITCHES* 13 minutes ago via web in reply to beeuamazing

Defaming the school and the students who have worked so hard to matriculate there. We really need to do better...

IRRESPONSIBLE WHITE PERSON WEDNESDAY!/DO BETTER WEDNESDAY!

Paul Shirley

Paul earns his slot in this weeks spot for his comments on why he would not be donating to Haiti... He insisted that if Haitians would "use a condom once in a while" and stop building "shack-towns" then all of their problems would be solved. I am definitely sick to my stomach after reading this... Check out the full article HERE


Greg Oden

*tisk, tisk* Mr. Oden... You should've known better than to send "dick pics" to your jump offs... Now you gotta apologize and suffer the embarassment. You live you learn... Check out the pics for yourself
HERE

DO BETTER WEDNESDAY!

Teddy Riley... and no it isn't because of his ensemble in the pic below, although that alone should warrant him this weeks spot...
Allegedly Teddy Riley gave his daughter a black eye... YESSIR! Word on the street is that she was disrespecting his 22 year old girlfriend (his daughter is 21) now if that was the case.... *tisk, tisk* Mr. Riley... Now us black folks are known for whooping our chilren's but isn't 21 a little old for spankings...? I dunno, I'm just saying... At what point is it just a straight up BUTT KICKIN? Check out what was tweeted about the incident below...


DO BETTER WEDNESDAY!

JAYSON WILLIAMS

The divorce battle between Mr. Williams and his wife has been going on for quite a while... The proceedings took a surprising turn a couple of weeks ago when he was ordered to pay his estranged wife $200,000. Now this doesn't seem like that much money for a former NBA star right? WRONG. The former Nets b-ball star broke down in tears saying that he was BROKE. Mind you Jayson has made over 87 MILLION DOLLARS throughout his career with the New Jersey Nets! Do YOU have a savings account? My people, we HAVE to be better money managers... When you manage your money properly it can go soooooo much further! Lets do better "Cause wealth is the word/Rich is round the corner from the curb" (c) Andre 3000

We Gotta Do Better Wednesday!

KEVIN JOHNSON
Mr. Johnson, former Phoenix Suns point guard and current Mayor of Sacramento has been receiving some negative press lately for his alleged misuse of Americorps money... To the tune of 400,000+ dollars. How is this possible you ask? Well, in the Americorps program an individual is supposed to work with an organization to combat poverty. It's basically volunteer work except the individual that is accepted is offered a very modest living stipend... But they have to be in some way, shape or form working to fight poverty. Mr. Johnson is accused of having the Americorps volunteer clean his car, pick up his dry cleaning and pick up his lunch.... I'm pretty sure those things couldn't pass as unconventional ways to combat poverty.... Come on Kevin!

To my people in leadership positions, they ALREADY expect us to not be legit...Lets work on proving them wrong. WE GOTTA DO BETTER.

OOOOOH AHHHH sock it to me (c) Missy E.

We Gotta Do Better Wednesdays...

So, I've been getting on Irresponsible White People (IWP's) on Wednesdays for quite some time... I figured it was time to switch it up a lil bit and put some of my people under the microscope (as if we aren't enough... I KNOW I KNOW). But SOME nigra's coonsatiable actions cannot SOLELY be blamed on "the man" (or can they..? Hmmm... POSSIBLY, lol)... and I am not the type of individual that defends the actions of my fellow coloreds when they are blatantly WRONG *see Boondocks episode The Trial of R. Kelly Season 1* for proof of what we as a people should NOT do. So DBW will shed light on people that need to take responsibility for the role that they play in their actions because they are setting us back... And for the first installment we have...

Darius Chappille

Mr. Chappille allegedly exposed himself on a plane to a passenger beside him, and then when the passenger didn't respond to him as he would've liked... He punched her in the face! After punching the passenger apparently Darius became even more irrate and began running down the aisle of the plane slapping multiple other passengers. When police had arrived to take Mr. Chappille into custody he was completely buck-ed naked.


I'm familiar with people having a fear of rejection but SHEEZ! This was sooo not ballin.
