Who Cares What Rapper Jay Z Thinks & Why Don Lemon Is Right about Blacks in America.

(ThyBlackMan.com) The fact blacks praised Jay Z for his comments on the Zimmerman verdict and bashed CNN’s Don Lemon for pointing out the problems blacks bring on themselves is exactly what’s wrong with “Black America.”

I’ve always rejected the news media and self-appointed black leaders’ persistent efforts in relegating blacks into a group of political zombies, void individualism and personal responsibility. But against the back drop of the George Zimmerman murder trial of Trayvon Martin and the race hustlers’ desperate attempt to turn the “event”  into a white on black hate crime,  the ugly scab of black culture was revealed.

This fake race war also brought out the worst behavior in black Americans who called people like me and Don Lemmon, “house niggas, sellouts, and Uncle Toms” among other unsavory names for daring to offer constructive criticism and say blacks are their own worst nightmare and need to takejustice-for-trayvon-rally-rapperjayz responsibility for their bad behavior!

During his CNN show this weekend, Lemon admitted now the trial was over he felt he could offer some “tough love” about the ills facing the black race. He said he didn’t want to do that during the trial because it was a “deflection” from what happened to Trayvon.

In a pointed monologue, Lemon agreed with Bill O’Reilly’s observations the near collapse of the black family (73% of black babies born out of wedlock) is the number one cause, as I have said repeatedly, for the pervasive violence gripping the black race and driving its economic decline.

But Lemon said O’Reilly didn’t go far enough. He told blacks there were five things they shouldn’t do.

Five: Wear their pants hanging off their ass because  it comes from the prison culture where inmates aren’t allowed to wear belts and the lower hanging pants indicate “which role a prisoner will play during male on male prison sex.”  Four: stop using nigger in any way because it’s abhorrent.

Three: stop trashing the neighborhood where you live. Two: get an education. One, “just because you can have a baby, it doesn’t mean you should.”

Basic common sense advice. But many blacks didn’t want to hear this truth and insulted Lemon  with profanity laced tweets, making themselves look like the savages other Americans, including other blacks, fear.

In contrast, when Jay Z offered up his cup of Zimmerman racist juice  offered up his cup of Zimmerman racist juice, blacks happily drank it up.  Commenting on the not guilty verdict, Millionaire rapper Jay Z said, “I was really angry, I didn’t sleep for two days.” He added that Trayvon was just going to the store to buy Skittles and a drink and “had no intention of robbing anyone.”

“We all know it was wrong. It was wrong. . .First of all, you’re not a professional to profile someone. . . This guy’s a (effing) mall cop,” Jay Z declared of Zimmerman.

Rapper Jay Z must be a mind reader because evidence gathered in the case, some of which the defense wasn’t allowed to present during the trial, revealed Trayvon wasn’t such an innocent 17 year old teen. He was suspended three times from school and stolen jewelry and a burglary tool were found in his locker. Text messages from Trayvon’s cell phone also showed he liked to fight, wanted to buy a gun and get high on codeine. Text messages exchanged with a friend, who told Trayvon how to make Lean or Purple Drank, using fruit juice, Skittles and cough syrup with codeine in it like Robitussin. Martin’s  toxicology report showed his  liver was damaged consistent with drug abuse caused by Lean.

I guess Rapper Jay Z didn’t bother  with the fact the FBI’s investigation last year into the incident concluded race had nothing to do with Zimmerman killing Trayvon.  And Jay Z couldn’t be bothered with the fact some jurors said there wasn’t enough evidence to convict Zimmerman and the case should never have been brought to trial.

As a former drug dealer, who’s been shot three times, blacks shouldn’t care what Jay Z thinks. Rapper Jay Z has no credibility talking about racism or violence, because as Lemon noted, hip-hop and rap stars like Jay Z glorifying a thug culture  is “making a lot of people rich, just not you.” In fact Jay Z’s music incites young black males to violence. Maybe Jay Z should lose some sleep over that.

Did Travyon Martin deserve to die? No. Could Travyon Martin’s upbringing and not enough parental attention have had something to do with his death? Possibly. Could Trayvon have thrown the first punch and tragically died as a result of it? Yes.

What angers many blacks about the Zimmerman trial is it uncorked how fed up Americans are with all the excuses so called “black leaders,” Democrats and the media always make for the black race’s failings. A violent, black sub culture that glorifies crime, misogyny, profanity, and hatred of whites is driving the high crime, high school drop out rates, illegitimate births, poverty and government dependency rooted in the black race. We need more black people like CNN Don Lemon to have the audacity to repudiate this behavior, not apologize for it.

    No doubt @hasan….these shenanigans are silly.

    I think that personal responsibility should be the norm for any citizen in America, regardless of color. What I see is a lack of social and political responsibility by some African Americans, who have leaned on the societial, spiritual, and social trends going on in America versus holding on to developing personal goals and values. No politician, “Passa,” or civil rights activist should be in the business of giving Black America direction in their lives. Yet there are those who live and die on the words of the POTUS, T.D. Jakes, Reverend Al, and Oprah. We can’t and shouldn’t get mad at these individuals for what they do. For those of you who spend your time giving back and teaching others in your community, continue to do so. For those of you who like to complain about Rev. Al, Jay Z, etc, at least they are acting on their beliefs. Shouldn’t you?

    As usual Ramses you are on point. The last paragraph makes me think about what my father had told me and what I passed down to my son. I was very athletic growing up and participated in sports of all kinds, I lifted weights, and etc. typical of many young man I thought of myself much more of what I really was, and yeah I had scrapped in school a few times and thought I was all that just my son likes to think he is today. My father warned me, “don’t mix it up with no adult man, or go around and think you will deal with a grown man like you do your friends at school, because they will not go to fisticuffs and roll around on the floor with you, because I wouldn’t do that. You will find yourself extremely hurt or dead” a few years later one of the jitterbugs that all of us knew had his guts spilled out on the street from some old timer who decided to fillet him like a fish instead of dealing with his b.s. but the thing is, you have to raise your children, and be there for them, and be on guard for dumb behavior.

    Problem is with a lot of absentee parents they unleash their monsters onto the world and when something goes down, their child would have never done that. I got news for all of you; millions of firearms have been purchased along with millions of rounds of ammo by whitey. These people have guns in their cars, homes, and on person. Again, know who you messin with because you may end up extremely hurt or dead.

    Where was you’ll outrage when Tupac got shot? Gimme a break. This is what I call “fake outrage.” This dude said because his mother is Peruvian it makes him less Hispanic? LOL!!!!! Dude I want you to get out a map and look at all the countries in South America that are Spanigh speaking (spanish being Moorish latin by the way, a language by dark people). The problem sir is that because you don’t understand any history concerning our aztec brothers and sisters, you attempt to make this a racial issue when Zimmerman is family!!! But since you are blinded by a color schematic that is not your own creation, you want to lump him with whites.

    Where was your outrage when the monkies in Atlanta and other states were robbing Mexico (the second president of Mexico was Vicente Guerrero, a brother as well) robbing migrant Mexican workers who because they were here “illegally” robbed them for their cash knowing they would never get deported for fear of deportation. Some even were killed by these negroes. Were you outraged then since justice is what you seek. If you look at the style of dress of the Incas let’s say 1300s or 1400s, you will see they wore Moorish tunics. Why? Because they are our family. You think your only family members on this planet have nappy hair? Think again. Why do you think latina women love brothers? I have seen women in South America named “Anubis”, an ancient Egyptian name. Why? Because Pharaohs traded here in ancient times because when their bodies were tested, they had coca (cocaine) and tobacco in their systems and the only place these things grow are in the Americas.

    You whining negroes have a very limited worldview which is why you make silly arguments. And it’s why you’re not taken seriously because your leaders are fried chicken perm head al sharpton. When are you black men gonna stop complaining and start planning? I mean you whine like women. I mean at some point you gotta hold your balls in your hand and recognize that you are males. I mean seriously. I get on women and for good reasons but you dudes, are weak as hell. I didn’t want to believe my ex some years ago when she said “I know you call the women out and they do suck but black men don’t have a standard.” This was a black woman, admitting that many black women suck, but because black men have no standard, they accept these women. She was honest enough to admit that black females suck and yet still recognized you’ll dudes for being weak enough to still deal with em. She was right. I got dark skin, I grew up here. Wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

    But do I fear white people? Hell no. Are they gonna stop me from accomplishing my goals. Hell no. I mean how can you black men be taken seriously when you can’t even put your woman in check? LOL!!!! Your woman prances around like a trollop on tv, for the whole world to see, and you call it entertainment and put her in your rap videos. Yet you say nothing to the women for their behavior. Yet “whitey” has to do something about your lack of will power to handle your woman. That’s why you’re not taken seriously. You won’t clean up your own backyard. But I know why you won’t do it: you negroes are scared. You cats are hiding behind the grave of Trayvon Martin, and using his death as a substitute to avoid you really having to take a look in the mirror at your raggedy selves because when you really take an honest look at your own people, you see ugliness. You’ll want us to ignore the fact that Trayvon was a “lean” sipper.

    You’ll want us to ignore the fact that he talked about selling guns. You’ll want us to ignore the fact that he had burglary tools in his locker. You’ll want us to ignore the fact that his own mama kicked him out, then took money like she really cared about him when it was his step mom who did more for him than she did. Look pass all that and anoint him an angel? Are you saying that there is no possibility that Trayvon Martin could have said something to escalate the situation? The boy wanted to be a thug like many young black males and you wanna know why? Because many young black girls don’t like nerds because intelligent black men make them feel stupid so they want you to dumb yourself down to look cool so you can have a chance with them.

    So Trayvon sipped “lean” like he was from Texas when he should have been studying for SATs. Young black girls like thugs and Trayvon felt he had to imitate one, even though he lived in the burbs. But as usual, you negroes ignore this because making it racial allows you to not have to look yourselves in the mirror. And any one that doesn’t go along with the “we were in slavery and Jim Crow beat us up” narrative get labeled “self-haters.” I love me. And I definitely love myself to not allow myself to be bamboozled by you charlatans. Stop acting like you care about Trayvon because you don’t because there are Trayvons in your family who you didn’t make a cause out of their deaths when they were murdered. My close cousin who I miss til this day was murdered in 2001. And even though I love him, I have to be honest: my cousin was into that street life. Hanging around those young boys in pennsylvania I knew would bring him trouble. My cousin was showing guns off to me and all that.

    He had no direction until he saw me going to school and decided he wanted to come back to Atlanta and get in school so he could link back up with me. He was killed a week before he came back down here. He made some stupid decisions that costs him. The Panthers made “dissing” authority cute. But you see most panthers on t-shirts which signifies they lost. Instead of ‘dissing” the system, learn how to make the system work for you. Indians do it. Chinese do it. Koreans do it. Why can’t the negro? Trayvon more than likely got flip at the mouth, escalated the situation, and his lights got put out.

    You’ll better teach your sons and daughters how to interact with the police and authority in general. Because I hate unruly kids, including black ones. Had it been me, and Trayvon martin said something smart to me, instead of yes sir or no sir, I would have went in his mouth, just like any of your disrespectful kids out here who disrespect other black people all the time.

    If the low hanging pants prison code was more widely known or at least discussed in the larger youth oriented media, it would decrease it quickly. I would just fear that it could backfire and increase gay bashing in our community.

    Tired of the mainstream media so desperate to make this a black vs white issue, going so far as calling Zimmerman a ‘white Hispanic’ – so insulting. If they called our President the same ‘white black’, they’d be fired.

    Maybe all the outrage with this case will inspire a small but significant number to work for positive change – whether it is in the home, neighborhood, school, etc. Even volunteering once a month in service to others does so much in building one’s character. Growing up my family did not have much money and my Dad had mental illness issues. Helping others was instilled by my Mom.

    To Dee Jay:

    It’s the pot calling the kettle black…you are practicing a form of distortion to make a point I assume. The race of this man is really insignificant, however he is not what we assume is typical when it comes to Hispanics. His mother is Peruvian. It is convenient to call him white. Nevertheless, this irresponsible man is still out there with a loaded gun driving around as there was a story about him being in Texas. I ask all you good brothers and sisters frankly, how would like to meet Zimmerman in dark alley with your hoodie on and your hands in your pocket? If tradition holds, you may end up shot if you don’t move just the right way!

  7. 53_bandit says:

    Great article. Most people want to blame the system but at what point do you decide to be smart instead of waiting on others to change laws or their actions and opinions?

  8. dee jay says:

    At one time I did not understand the continued attempt to try and make GZ a white person, but after giving it some thought I realized it is more convenient for the blacks who practice racism to call him White instead of what his ethnic group actually is, Hispanic. It is easier to get a following of others with the same fake outrage if the shooter is labeled white than if he was Hispanic. If so many cared about the death of a black child then why until now has there not been an outcry from the so called black leaders, Obama, and the local community activists. With all the blacks killed by black on black crime, why is there no one marching and protesting their deaths. Most of them are are marching not for the death of the black youth, but for the color of the guy that shot him, and for most of them that color is white. It isnt so much for Trayvon but against GZ. If you are so concerned about the death of blacks then when are we not protesting the ones in Chicago, Detroit, Philly, LA, and other places where there is a high mortality rate for black youths…The truth is that most of these marchers dont give a damn about Trayvon or any other dead black child, they are only concerned with the color they think GZ is. If you are concerned about the death of black kids then get out and protest for all of there deaths and not just for the ones you think were killed by whites…This was a tragedy and I thought GZ should have gotten some time out of it, but I was not on the jury. Do not really like the verdict but that is what they came back with and we cant blame them for the lack of evidence present that proved guilt. There are problems facing the black community. Problems that will never go away until we are able to make them go away. All of our problems do not rest with the white man, some are of our own making and until we are able to accept our own blame for some of them we will never get on the road to resolution.

  9. Reagan Chase says:

    AMEN!! I could not agree with you & Don Lemon more. KUDOS to you for speaking out on this, despite backlash (and more) towards you and your writing. I say this all of the time and always have other blacks attack me for it. Seriously, it is time to LOOK IN THE MIRROR and make changes before casting blame on other races for the issues in our community.

  10. James Davis says:

    You Like Many Others Who Put Trayvon Martin And Other Black Youth On Trial for Martin’s Own Murder By An Irresponsible White Person With A Loaded Gun Are Just Simply Wrong!

    Zimmerman was irresponsible for 1) Profiling an innocent person ( Martin was not guilty of any crime that night. ) 2) Stalking or following that youngster ( he had turned 17 yrs old 3 or so weeks prior to his death-replace Martin with a blonde haired, blue eyed white boy and you get the picture.) 3) Confronting and not identifying himself as a neighbor watch person which may have immediately diffused the situation ( remember if you heard the 911 tape, Zimmerman introduces himself to the dispatcher as a neighborhood watch person-couldn’t that same courtesy have been extended to the youngster ) 4) Not a single one of us know what happened that night, but what we do know factually is that Zimmerman is a proven liar. (He and his wife lied about the donated money to a Judge no less. What if he had already has his gun drawn which is a distinct possibility when he confronted the youngster. Martin then would have been put in the position of fighting for his life). This teenager had nothing to do with the poor decision making of this man who got out of his vehicle with a loaded gun intent on dealing with whatever ill conceded notions he had about him. Zimmerman no doubt felt empowered with a loaded gun and it was this feeling of empowerment on the part of man that got that youngster killed. Zimmerman may have been found not guilty – but he is definitively not innocent when it comes to this youngster’s death. Peace. http://www.sslumpsum.com
