South Kongress #2 - (The Marriage Episode)

What happens when you let her stress you for six years running? Wedded bliss, of course! Less than two weeks away from the most important day of their lives, Chris and Mah were nice enough to sit down with us and cover their relationship from start to finish, first date to wedding date, and everything in between. They open up about meeting, when they both knew they wanted to be exclusive, how they deal with each other's cultural differences, and how one really big step led to the one their currently headed toward. Naturally, I say wildly inappropriate things and introduce as much booze as possible into the arena. I get them to share a few of their wedding vows, the things they can't stand about each other, and of course, the reasons they can't seem to stop falling for each other time and time again. Mah drops an astounding amount of gems about making relationships last, and makes me a Rihanna fan, once and for all. Chris makes it REALLY hard for us regular guys with one of the coolest engagement stories you'll ever hear. Almost guaranteed to make you laugh, certainly geared to make you smile, this episode is for the grown and hopeful out there.

 

Fan X Fan Show - CW's "The Flash" (Season 2, Episode 10)

BACK LIKE WE NEVER LEFT!  In our first new episode of the year, "The Flash" is in for a few changes.  Relationships change, dynamics change, and we face maybe the most twisted villain so far!  We pretend to know actual science as we debate the credibility of "The Turtle's" power.  Turtle Power.  T-U-R-T-L-E POWER!  Couldn't fight it, sorry.  I may have convinced Trav to use his status as the "Prominent Black (Beige) Voice in Pro Wrestling"  to take part in a cool event, and hopefully he helps us get a bunch of money for just running our mouths.  I'll tell you how time travel is stupid outside of a few instances, and how even if your mother is a crackhead that ruins your family, it's still your father's fault. All this and a few sappy ass quotes on this week's Fan X Fan! And wait - REVERSE FLASH BYKE?!?!?!?

Pudding Pops, Pusha T and Paramount Pictures - Bill Cosby? Not your Father.

I went to a Hannibal Buress show earlier this year. I knew him as an SNL writer, and a supporting character on the show 'Broad City' I rave about. Buress is my kind of comedian - he's in the know.  Well read, but not removed from urban culture. In a crowd that mostly early 30's white men and women, I was one of the few reciting the Pusha T songs that played during the pre show. You can't control your audience, but you can control what you give them. In a post Dave Chappelle world, it was nice to have a comedian that operates in a space similar to mine.


The show was really, really good. He covered a wide range of topics - music, sex, race, violence, drugs... all the things we laugh about, cry about, and stay up at night contemplating. That, coupled with the fact that we brought in a few flasks, made for a fantastic experience. Months later, Buress did what lots of comedians do - he took a very real situation, deadpanned it, and waited for the crowd to react. Bill Cosby, famous TV dad, legendary comedian and crotchety old Black guy, spent YEARS stressing that, in many cases, we as young Black people were our own worst enemies. "pull up your pants, use your suffixes, turn your hat around" the whole nine. I've had this argument with parents, kids, teachers, hell, strangers, about the validity of such a statement. I could write an entire post on the intricacies of who's at fault there, but that's for another time. Before I talk about Bill Cosby being the scum of the earth, I want to explain to you my adoration of Bill Cosby. I'm a 28 year old Black Man from the east coast with a college degree. I fucking love Bill Cosby. I love Bill Cosby for the Huxtable family. This was a Black family of Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, and dedicated students. They weren't "holier than thou" people. They made being educated seem NORMAL, like that's the way things were supposed to be. Even when light skinned Elvin decided showed up to lead Sondra astray, Elvin came from an educated family, so even if his common sense was gone, he had the tools to help people out in the world.

No funny quips here... except "jammin' on the one!"  Loved that.

Even heavier than that, 'A Different World' was, and still is, mandatory viewing for children Black, white, and in between. I've seen every single episode front to back, and they still hold up. I've never seen LIFE on screen the way Hillman was given to us. The place was alive, teeming with ideas, hunger, fear... it was what I wanted from adulthood before I even knew what adulthood was. Looking back on it as a person older than those characters now, you see the ignorance the apprehension, the desire for understanding. It was a look at life after high school, but before the world really begins, that hasn't been replicated since.

When being smart became being awesome!

So Bill Cosby, or Heathcliff Huxtable, or Debbie Allen, or Carmen Finestra, someone, was definitely a surrogate parent for me. But arrogant ass that I am, when people start talking crazy, I start separating the characters from the men behind them. BILL COSBY HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF RAPE FIFTEEN TIMES MAN. Now, I knew that, Weez and Travis probably knew that (hey guys) I'm certain Miles knew that, and Bradford and Chad knew that, because they know everything. I'm at the barbershop Wednesday, like I typically am on Wednesdays, and we started talking Cosby after the story came across the HLN ticker. I'll tell you something about Black people, if you weren't aware - we are VERY SLOW to condemn our successful individuals. Because we claim them as our own successes, it's very hard for us to throw them away. I had a spirited discussion which ended with me being called a coon because I choose not to listen to Michael Jackson anymore. Without getting into too much detail, MJ's catalogue is great, and I'd never tell anyone else they shouldn't partake... but I'm cool over here. So the first reaction from a woman in the shop was "that's a shame, someone trying to get Bill Cosby." In a very even tone I responded "this is the 15th time he's been accused of rape or sexual abuse." The two barbers nodded their heads, and that was the extent of the conversation. You damn near have to kill a Black baby while entering a white woman to have the Black community turn against you!

How Black folks treat Black celebrities with "issues".

So understand my shift in feelings if you will - Bill Cosby, who told us to "act" a certain way for years and years, had access to channels other Black actors/ artists never did, because of the wholesome image he portrayed. Here's where it gets a little dark. How does a Black man, albeit a world renowned one, get accused of rape that many times, and most folks NEVER EVEN HEARD ABOUT IT?  Because that's an image organizations work hard to maintain, because they can make a fucking MINT off that image. There are people who do bad, bad things that you'll never know about, because they mean too much to someone in power for that information to be as widespread as it should.

Hold up... YOU want ME to pull up MY pants???

Who knows what'll happen from here - maybe Bill Cosby's life finishes out in prison, maybe he goes broke paying off lawsuits, maybe he "gets away with it" and spends his remaining days in a big house on a pile of money. Just be aware that the things we grew up on, the things that shaped us, were at least in part put out there to turn a profit. Don't let Bill Cosby ruin Heathcliff Huxtable. Or 'Ghost Dad'. That guy was a Saint.

HOW WAS THIS EVEN A THING?

Shane Falco, Aunt Jemima, and the San Francisco Chinamen: A Few Words from a Lifelong Washington Redskins Fan.

I grew up in the great state of Texas, specifically San Antonio (HOME OF THESE GUYS). I moved there when I was 11, and my immediate family still lives there. But I'm originally from Camp Springs, Md, which is located just outside of Washington, DC. For this reason, and a few others, I've been a lifelong Washington Redskins fan. I was enamored with the guys in old lady dresses and pig snouts, loved singing the fight song with my mom, and was always amazed at how damn fast Darrell Green was! The Redskins were an institution, a way of life, a gold standard. As a kid, I never really thought about the name, but I also didn't think about the absurdity of the name 'Indians' either, because I was a kid. So yesterday, various sources reported that the Washington Redskins trademark would not be renewed, due to a strong political movement hoping to force a name change for the franchise. As a near 30 year old man who has never even considered an allegiance to another pro football team... I really have no problem with it. AT ALL.

But no see, this is cool, cuz it's like... but see...

I've heard very, very strong opinions on the subject. "Why now?" seems to be the prevailing opinion. People are ranting about the new found sensitivity on America, how we seem to cower and concede whenever someone deems something offensive. In this case, my response is "ok, so?". There is nothing so damn important about the Redskins name that it can't be changed to something less derogatory. It's not as if player salaries drop, it's not that you won't be able to buy new team gear, hell, it's not like you won't be able to wear your old gear! But what's so wrong about adjusting? It's really similar to reparations. Now, I'm in no way saying the name of a sports team holds a candle to slavery, it's reach or it's ramifications. What I'm saying is, one of the major problems people have with reparations is that in admitting wrongdoing, you worry about opening up the floodgates to having to PAY WHAT YOU MAY ACTUALLY OWE. People don't want to feel responsible for past wrongdoing, and want you to act as if everyone started with equal footing. Any acknowledgement that that idea is silly puts people in a position to have to come up with solutions, and they'd rather just ignore valid complaints. Nothing new here, but it's the prevailing truth in America.

DC FOOTBALL LEGEND BRUH.

As a supporter of a franchise that's only had FLASHES of success since the mid nineties (like these guys, only more honest about it) I for one am ok with a name change. What have the Redskins been since like '95? Average? Below average? This isn't the Pittsburgh Steelers or New England Patriots calling audible, it's a franchise with more losing seasons than 10 win seasons since i was a kid. I love the football team representative of the DC/Maryland/Virginia Area (DMV for those in the know)regardless of their name. Shane Falco? Big fan of that guy. Also the Art Monks and the Mark Rypiens, Even the Michael Westbrooks and Stephen Davis's, right on down to the RGIII's and the Brian Orakpos (hook 'em) on the team. I'm not tied to any name that people may rightfully deem offensive. Wouldn't affect my fandom in the slightest.

Where the 'was anyone offended?' argument goes the hell out the window.

Politicians from all over the country all of a sudden made this their focus, this being the great cause they chose to champion. It'll be interesting to see if people grill them on other things they may deem wrong, and if they fight so vehemently against those things. Am i going to have to switch to log cabin, because well, that damn Aunt Jemima looks like a mamm... nevermind. In the meantime, hail to the Re... whatever. Fight for all DC!

"I start my car... she calls me a nigger."

An 87 Point Manifesto on what (name redacted) is Looking For in a Man

 I present to you, without opinion, or any editing, a Facebook post from one of my lady friends on what she's looking for in a potential significant other. I feel like this will lead to some interesting conversations...

1. Caucasian/Spanish decent (South American, Central American, Portugal, Spain)
2. 5'9" tall and higher
3. Educated (Associates with certifications, Bachelors or higher)
4. Chiseled face prefferred
5. Don't like six packs or body building (don't need your ego of fist pumping ways), but a healthy minded individual who works out from time to time.
6. Someone who cares about their health as equal as I do. Meaning, I like to pig out from time to time.
7. The right amount of charisma. Too much charisma is an egotistical bastard....ahem!
8. Treats everyone, equally, with respect. (Not a flirt. Doesn't talk bad about their friends behind their backs)
9. Treats me with respect at all times. A true gentleman knows what that is. Asking me to drive to you is not respectful, sorry. Lazy ass.
10. Mature. 
11. Someone who can teach me something.
12. Someone who isn't lazy when it comes to work and doing things for me (like driving to me).
13. Someone who isn't lazy 24/7. I'm lazy for a few hours of the day not 24/7.
14. Someone with a clean roomapartment/house/condo. If his place aint clean, his nooks and crannies and crevices probably aren't, either. Gross.
15. Someone with a decent, clean daily car. I have figured that your car says something about you. My 240 was a daily. Sure, it impressed guys who liked stuff like that, but it started becoming embarrassing for me driving up in a car like that when I worked at the Omni Hotel. It was time to grow up from that daily. 
16. Someone's whose job history is stable. Last guy I dated was an asshole but he had been at his job for 7 years and before that, about 4 years. Job stability says a lot about a person. 
17. Someone who actually has a savings account and actually saves.
18. Someone who volunteers, gives back to the community and/or society.
19. Someone with a good heart.
20. Doesn't want a "smooth talker."
21. I want someone that I wouldn't be embarrassed walking around/driving around with. Someone who would represent me and my decisions in the best light.
22. No "yo yo yo" types who wear their pants halfway around their gluteus maximus. Those are just not my style/kind of person I want for a husband.
23. Not a ladies man. No James Bond types, please. I don't need to deal with that.
24. No insecure types. Insecure doesn't necessarily mean jealous. An insecure man needs women around him all the time or needs to be constantly needed by some woman, any woman, at all times. I don't want that. I want a SECURE man who can ACTUALLY and ALLOWS himself to be alone without looking.
25. Someone that would impress my Mom and my other Mom. My Mom recently quoted to me: "Why are you dating all these losers?!"
26. I love fishing, if you love fishing, too, plus. 
27. Someone who doesn't mind me going fishing by myself.
28. Someone who loves to go out and dance with me and then go camping with me. 
29. Someone with the same music tastes as me. Nickelback? Get outta here. Lil Wayne? Get outta here. Don't know who Cut Copy is? Get outta here. lol
30. You have to love sushi.
31. You have to like Filipino food because I cook it.
32. Someone who has a sense of style/fashion.
33. Someone who appreciates the finer things in life like me. (Merker razors, cuff links, collard shirts, culture, traveling, quality not quantity)
34. Someone who meets my friends and actually interacts with them.
35. Someone who doesn't seek one sided relationships.
36. Someone who doesn't head change in certain areas of town. Meaning, someone who won't treat me swell downtown but then treat me like a stranger in another part of town. I don't need that.
37. Someone who doesn't tell me what to spend my money on and how to spend it, unless we were married. Red flag red flaaaag!
38. Someone who thinks this list of standards is superb and not in any way offensive or annoying. 
39. Someone who doesn't like to argue.
40. Someone who communicates quite well.
41. The first "stupid," you're outta here. No name calling, not even in a joking manner. Grow up, it's not cute. 
42. No power struggles. 
43. Non manipulative. I've watched my ex manipulate and lie to everyone, including myself, around him. I don't need that.
44. Any sign of aggression, even "playful," and you're out. 

    

    You made it to the halfway point.  Go get some water.  Or a snickers.

45. You like to argue and then have make up sex? Get outta here. Grow up. 
46. Non complicated. 
47. Balanced in all areas of life.
48. Someone who likes to self improve.
49. Someone smarter than me. 
50. Non charming. Charmers aren't all that great, trust me. 
51. I don't want the "life of the party" kinda guy. I'm 28.
52. If your grin is constant, and from one ear to the other, I don't want  you. Can't trust that.
53. Trustworthy
54. Honest
55. Knows what true integrity means. Integrity isn't telling people at work or telling your friends you are done with your gf and then going home and kissing her and being all cuddly. That's sociopathic and I don't need it. 
56. Someone who doesn't blame ALL their ex's for the break ups. Bad sign. 
57. Someone who doesn't go back to the past and sleep with their ex's. That is something I don't need to deal with or compete with or worry about.
58. I've always wanted someone family oriented. Someone close to their family. An Aunt has a birthday? Let's go! Dinner with parents? Let's go! I don't want a man who puts his friends first before his family. Don't need a people pleaser.
59. Someone whose parents are still together (if they are alive). It just shows the stability capabilities of a person.
60. Someone with stable parents.
61. Their parent's house is clean.
62. They had a structured childhood growing up. If you go to do whatever you wanted growing up, I probably don't want you. At 16, I had to come home at a decent hour. 
63. Someone highly motivated.
64. A man who can cook, bake, or grill. One or the other, handsome. One or the other. 
65. A man who likes a fine glass of wine.
66. Funny. Humor like mine.
67. Has a talent. 
68. A man who wears a suit well but loves comics/video games. (Don't lose yourself. Growing up doesn't mean letting go of interests/hobbies)
69. A man who has an equal amount of female/male friends.
70. Someone who is not a flirt. Don't need your egotistical, insecure ways.
71. Someone who would never dream of demeaning me/disrespect me.
72. Someone who is absolutely against hurting/hitting a woman, no matter what.
73. A man who has nice, respectful friends. 
74. A man with a future. 
75. Someone who gets along with their siblings and never talks bad about them.
76. Someone who has a stable best friendship with their best friend.
77. Someone who doesn't get mood swings. 
78. Someone with no femininity about them.
79. No cross dressers. No eyeliner wearing "men." I saw a friend suffer through that. No thanks.
80. Someone who has never cheated.
81. Someone who cares about children and their health and well being, like me. 
82. Someone who likes animals.
83. Someone who will eat cheap trailer food and then appreciate a five star restaurant.
84. Someone who doesn't mind that I like to fire weapons. 
85. If you're Catholic, I won't date you. I don't agree with their practices and Catholicism scares the living shits out of me. I would never spend the night in a Catholic Church and when I attend one, I literally get goosebumps, so it's obviously a bad thing. All other religions, welcome. Including Muslim and Jehovah's Witness. I have an open mind about religion. 
86. I would date a Middle Eastern over a Mexican any day. Those Palestinians and Jerusalem's are handsome!
87. And if you're ignorant and think all Middle Eastern's are the same, get the fuck outta here. 

     NO Exceptions. When I make exceptions, I get disappointed. There is no more room for mistakes and repeat mistakes in my life. No one is perfect. Therefore, it will be difficult finding someone who measures up to this list. But that's a good thing because I don't want anyone for two years or more.

The South Kongress "Donald Sterling Video Running Joke" Post

If you haven't seen this, watch it, like, now.  Everyone's going to be doing stories, articles, and speeches concerning this.   Brian, Quincy and myself will continually update this with thoughts until it get's old.  Also - this may never get old.

So... in 2014, old white guys are still legit afraid of their queens NEEDING that Black plug?  Just what adult films has this guy been watching? - Cam                      

looks like State Farm is pulling their team sponsorship. Others following suit. - Cam

now if... apparently he refuses to rent apartments to minorities.  like, wouldn't do it.  also, he's still married, and his wife has been trying to get the jumpoff outta here for awhile.  guess he should've listened? - Cam 

Here's a list of all of the LA Clippers' sponsors.  Let's see who all jumps ship. - Cam

CarMax, State Farm, and VIrgin America have all pulled their sponsorship of the Clippers. - Cam 

A fake deep rapper wrote a fake deep post for gawker.  People are upset, but not in the way he expected.  Also - it really sucked. - Cam 

Sprint pulled out too, knowingthat they need my $100 every month.  Can't risk a verizon exodus!!! - Cam 

The biggest scandal in all this is the NAACP once again demonstrating their incompetence by planning to give THIS man, Donald Sterling, a lifetime achievement award.  For what I wonder?  Blatant housing discrimination?  Saying Blacks and Mexicans stink and no one wants to live next to them?  This isn't the worst thing Sterling has ever done...not by a long shot.  Thanks NAACP! - B Ray 

  - Bomani Jones just always, always gets it. - Cam

So that's it for him... banned for life, max fine, "strongly encouraged" to sell team.  I pray for the first owner that is "unsure" about his daugther dating Black guys... - Cam

And BOY did everyone turn into Nat fucking Turner over the last few days!  Where were y'all when dude was paying his Black GM chump change, or denying residency to minorities?  But nah, I'm sleep over here. - Cam

Frat Fails and Admiral Ackbar - The Progression of Ole Miss

It could have all been so sweet.  The nerd in me was HYPE!  In 2010, there was a petition at the University of Mississippi (more commonly known as Ole Miss)  to choose a new, more PC mascot.  Why?  Because the team name is the Rebels.  Mississippi Rebels.  In Mississippi.  Rebelling against what you ask.  That would be that overbearing greedy as Abraham Lincoln and his forces in the North, naturally.  Now, there's a time and a place for everything, and well, Mississippi in 1936 was probably ideal in chooses such a, decisive mascot as "Colonel Reb" for your school.  But in 2010, it seemed to have worn out it's welcome.  A campaign was started to update the schools mascot to something, well, more awesome and less racist.  The said "forget a Colonel, let's get an Admiral!"  What Admiral?  Only the MOST IMPORTANT ADMIRAL OF ALL TIME!

He'd still wear the hat. Compromise.

This would have been the coolest thing to happen in the history of forever!   But I'm a card carrying geek like that.  But truthfully, is it any more ridiculous to have the Mon Calamari (lazy naming, Lucas!) leader of the Alliance as the school mascot than a heavily stylized Col. Sanders???  Probably not, but I'm not from Mississippi, and don't make the rules out there.

They get it.

But this notion being dismissed immediately lends credence to an incident that recently took place.  On campus, there is a statue of James Meredith, the first Black student admitted to Ole Miss.  Three members of the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity had the bright idea to hang a noose on the statue, and leave behind a confederate flag, just in case you didn't get the picture.  This particular chapter of the frat was shut down, and the reasoning given was that this was the final straw in a long series of mistakes.  That makes perfect sense, given that racially influences defamation of property typically isn't your first offense.

He's no Space Amphibian, but a clearly better choice than "Col"

Now, to give credit where it's due, they got Colonel Reb the hell up outta here, and replaced him with Rebel Black Bear, (who may be from Louisiana) a much better choice.  While not the leader of the most significant military fleet in a galaxy far ,far away, he's still pretty cool.  Things that we feel are CLEARLY outdated and wrong can take a long time to die depending on who's in charge.  But it is comforting to see that there are limits on wrongdoing, where even if crimes are committed against a single person, even certain gestures can carry harsh, necessary penalties.  Here's hoping that more and more organizations take firm stands on this type of behavior.  And that we get an awesome fictional character as a mascot for a major university soon (Looking at you, Maryland Teenage Mutant Ninja Terrapins!)

If you Can Make Out the Words I've Typed, your Biracial Children Will be Fine.

Kermit was about that life.

A Facebook friend, a Hispanic in her late 20's, was livid yesterday.  A coworker of hers told her that she "doesn't approve of Hispanic and Black babies."  Now, the same coworker takes no issue with Hispanic and White children, but made it a point to voice her displeasure toward her choice in partner and living, breathing (adorable!) children.  She had every right to be upset - anyone that would try to define a "proper" combination for race mixing is proving their ignorance toward the world that we live in, and the world that is approaching.  If anyone tells you that they don't "approve" of biracial families/children, or think you are placing unnecessary hurdles in front your children, it's clear they aren't going to be the movers, shakers or policy makers your children will have to interact with later down the line.

Yeah, I think the "Safe" stigma helped out a bit.

When people say "post-racial", chances are they don't know what the hell they're talking about.  But an argument can be made that the world is progressively "mixed tolerant".  Why exactly?  Who knows - this is an entertainment blog, not  (insert boring blog title here, ZING!)  so let's just throw out a few examples:

1) KINDA Black President - not a shot, but do I think  Barack Obama being a handsome, not so dark individual made him a more attractive choice than Al Sharpton?  Damn right!

2) Jessica Alba - Nerd and race motivated shit talked that I am, I didn't even think to question her playing the Invisible Woman, or being Chris Evans' sister in The Fantastic Four.  And he's so clearly white they let him be Captain America!!!

3) Today's NBA - Look at Joakim Noah, Blake Griffin, (create-a-player #1) Klay Thompson.  They are appreciated for their talents as top players, and even in barber shop circles, they aren't made out to be "too" anything, or "not enough" anything else.  And three of the best point guards of the last decade (Parker, D. Williams, and the GAWD J. Kidd) are all from mixed ethnicity.

So those in control - the voters, the people that talk with there dollars, and the American sports fans, are all tolerant, and appreciative of the portion of the population that come from mixed backgrounds.  So what does it matter if people you interact with on a lower level don't?

Nobody even blinked.  Not a soul.

At this point, it's not even "progressive" to date outside of your ethnicity, it's almost a given.  Growing up in San Antonio, Texas (nawfwest till I rest)  it's almost a given that as a person of Black/ White/ Asian/ Middle Eastern descent, you would at some point date a Hispanic person, unless you actively avoided it, because they made up most of the population.  Any person that would give you a hard time for this was old, or couldn't count, or wanted you for themselves and wouldn't verbalize that.

The bigger issue is this guy being French.

 The people in charge of hiring your children, the people that grant them admittance into college, these people don't have a bias against biracial people, because by the time your children are old enough to encounter these people, the population will have grown to be exponentially multiracial, based on a whole bunch of numbers I read so you wouldn't have to (I care.)  So let people you talk to have their opinions, even if these are things they try to pass down, it'll be awfully hard for their children to formulate such strong resentment if the people they grow up with, in the same neighborhoods, playing the same sports, wearing the same clothes and having the same interests as them.  Changing with the times isn't for everyone.  Lucky for us, time tends to change without their approval.

A Conversation about Fried Chicken (Yup, we go there!)

 Myself, and 3 of my gainfully employed, college educated African American friends talk chicken.  Yeah.  Straight like that.

Video shows a Boca Raton, FL resident fed up with her neighbors that fly a Klan flag in their yard. She takes Steve Stoute's message to heart. Also - wait till you get a look at the couple. Also, the only reason I know "Boca Raton" means "The Rat's Mouth" is because I used Florida Atlantic (word to Alfred Morris)a few years back in NCAA Football's Dynasty Mode. lololololololololololol
