Crime: Bookerista Perspectives

Constructive Feedback: "Rapper Gucci Mane Back In Jail - Good Thing He Is Not A Black Republican"

The conservative blogger in Atlanta metro wonders: perhaps if criminals are labelled as black Republicans, more black folks will criticize criminal rappers like Gucci Mane (pictured)?: "AJC: Gucci Mane back in jail I know that the main reason why all of these Black Hip Hop artists keep cycling through the revolving doors of the jail is due to racism (sarcasm) but this is ridiculous. Once again proving the unmanaged state of the Black community these serial criminals are allowed to stream their messages and imagery to the masses of young people and yet continue to receive support from their fans yet silence from the 'usual suspects' who have a problem with speech when it is strategic to their ideological and political agenda. Ironically a conservative talk show host's words said into the same brand of microphone used by these Thug Hip Hop artists are far more powerful yet threatening to the Black community - IF you allow certain operatives to tell it. The Thug Hip Hop artists are the 'voice of the Killer Street Pirates and Drug Dealers' in our community. It thus comes as no surprise that they have a series of run-ins with the law. They themselves are so frequently part of the 'Criminal Underclass' that are the proportionally the most frequent threat to the Black community today. Beyond the outward projecting activism upon which the modern day 'Black Political Activism' is built upon, there needs to be some force of inward management that recognizing the damage that the Thug image is doing to our community and work to mitigate this threat."

More: "Some attempt to high behind the 'artistic free speech' as their justification for allowing the subject matter, words and images to continue unchecked. Unfortunately Rush Limbaugh or Michael Richards who call themselves 'entertainers' are not able to obtain such a blanket exception as the commercial rap thugs do. There is in fact a long history where the Black community put its foot down and told both the offending artists and the entertainment corporation that we are not going to accept such messages streamed out for mass consumption. Maybe if we all agreed to label Thug Hip Hop Artists as 'Black Republicans' then such an association would be enough to shun them within the Black community? Michael Steele would then be responsible for reforming their ways."

Kenneth Durden: "Flint Homeowner Takes Out A Predator"

The libertarian-conservative blogger discusses a (presumably black) homeowner who fought back against and killed one of the armed robbers who broke into his home (see video here): "A homeowner in Flint, Michigan apparently took on a couple of predators who were breaking into his home. The homeowner reportedly wrestled control of the gun and sent one of the thugs into the great beyond (celestial dirtnap, toes up, off to meet his maker). Score one for the home team! Too bad one got away. A few quotes jump out at me from this news clip.

Reporter: 'the latest man to die from gun violence.' How about the latest to die from thuggery and the hip hop mentality? The gun was the tool but it's not the problem. Mentality, culture and a vaccuum [sic] of responsibil[i]ty are more responsible for the deaths.

Lady: 'These are our young black mens (sic) and womens (sic) in the street getting killed.' Yes ma'am. These are our young black men and women getting killed but also they are the ones doing the killing! Change the victim mindset and get angry about the predators. Demand police do what they can. Turn in people who commit crimes.

City councilman, himself a recent victim of crime: 'I'm sick of it.' Yes sir. We ARE sick of the generation of entitlement, violence and thuggery.

By the way, look at the freaks questioning whether their loved one 'deserved' to die. Um...he's breaking into a man's house with a gun. Of course he deserves it."
