W.T.H. !! (What The Hell)

Obama Debuts As Curious George

I knew it was coming. I am only surprised that it has taken this long before they’ve stepped out of the shadows. I suspect it will only get uglier as we approach November.

Mulligan’s is a well known local tavern in Marietta, Georgia and is owned by a good ole boy, Mike Norman. He’s known for displaying his ultra conservative views the establishment’s signage like suggesting Hilary Clinton should have married O.J. Well good ole Mike is now selling “Obama 08” t-shirts with a picture of Curious George.

Yessiree Bob!! You got it!! CURIOUS DAYUM GEORGE! Racist, you say? Not good ole boy Mike Norman. Mr Norman believes it’s okay to associate a black man with the caricature of a monkey. I suppose he thinks it’s okay to call any black person a porch monkey and we not be offended.

Norman said those offended are “hunting for a reason to be mad” and insisted he is “not a racist.”

Why picture Obama as Curious George? “Look at him . . . the hairline, the ears, he looks just like Curious George,” Norman said.

He said it’s just a coincidence that the character he chose for the T-shirt is a monkey. Norman said proceeds raised from sales of the T-shirts will be donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. [Source]

Several local groups are planning to protest in front of Mulligans today, including The Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the Nation of Islam and the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials.

What are your thoughts? Is this racist? Or…are we being “too sensitive” just “hunting for a reason to be mad“?

Deranged Woman On Marta – UPDATE

I wrote about this foolishness earlier this week (What Would You Do) and I am so glad that MARTA (Atlanta’s rail system) police are investigating and have issued a warrant for her arrest. According to news reports, the police know her name but are not releasing it to the media at this time.

After canvassing the East Lake Station where the suspect reportedly exited the train, MARTA police received an anonymous tip that the incident occurred on March 31, between 2 and 4 p.m. The tipster also indicated the suspect has been known to ride Bus 22.

After identifying the suspect, MARTA police have obtained an arrest warrant.

“We want to assure the public that this is an extremely isolated incident and that customer safety and security are our highest priorities,” stated MARTA Police Chief Wanda Dunham in a release. “We regret that any customer had to endure such harassment while using our system.” Read the full story HERE.

I hope and pray to God they find this girl. If it is determined she is not mentally ill, they need to lock her butt up!! If you did not see the video, you can see it below:

This video disturbed me so much, I can’t begin to tell you. I don’t think I could have sat there watched this girl insult and disrespect the elderly woman AND NOT do anything. Yeah, I understand I could have put myself in harms way but at the very core of my being I know I just could NOT have sat there silent!! All I can think of are my grandmothers (who are both deceased), my mother, and how I would feel if that happened to them.

5/13/08 ***UPDATE****

The young lady has been identified as Nafiza Ziyad and her mother has stated she is bipolar and was off her medication.

Port-o-Potty Upgrade

These are photos of a new public restroom in Houston. It is made of one-way glass where no one can see in but once inside, you can see out.

Would you utilize the facility? Could you?

Sorry, I couldn’t do it! NOPE! NO WAY!!! I have enough bathroom hangups as it is and this would have me on the verge of being potty challenged the rest of my life!! 8)

  

CraigsList HIV Positive Rapist

Take a good look at this guy. Allen Jamar McDowell is accused of sexually assaulting two women after luring them to an apartment. This 18 year old dipsh*t is HIV Positive and used Craigs List to find his victims. DeKalb County police want to know if there are any other women who may have fallen victim to this sick bastard.

Police spokeswoman Mekka Parish said Tuesday one woman was raped and the other robbed and sexually assaulted at the vacant apartment at 3527 Kensington Road.

Investigators think there are other victims and are urging them to call the the DeKalb County Special Victims Unit at (770) 724-7710. Read story here.

Maaan, how I wish I could set the punishment for rapist, child molesters, and pedophiles! These deviants would face sentences to include but not limited to the following:

  • A razor blade spike sliding board into a pool of rubbing alcohol.
  • Fitted with a customized testicle gripping vice
  • Daily anal probing with the Jaws of Life
  • Timed Testicle Tasering

My heart goes out to McDowell’s victims. The sexual assault and resulting mental anguish is exponentially compounded by the rapist’s HIV status. For the next 10+ years the women will need to be tested regularly for HIV, potentially ruining their lives. Lets keep these women in our prayers.

What Would You Do?

A friend fowarded the following link to me yesterday. To say the least, it is very disturbing.

Initially, I only viewed the first 30 seconds because I got so angry. Angry because:

  1. no one intervened on the elderly lady’s behalf
  2. the total lack of concern by other passengers
  3. the young men in the background egging on the ignorance
  4. the state of (some) youth today.

Watch for yourself. Then tell me, would you have intervened or kept it moving?

What has happened to not only our young people but to us as a whole that we refuse to speak out and take some action. What if this was your mother or grandmother?
