The Brooklyn Niggas

You Know...I was having a writers block all last week.  What I should tell you is that I write a bunch of blog posts at a time for all of my blogs..So that when I'm busy...or suffering through a writer's block..I can just schedule these posts to be published.  Posts like "5" , 'Saturday 7" , "Keith's Favorite Quotes" and "Keith's Music Spotlight"  ..These are fluff posts...Just for the ocassion... So I'm not forgotten... Well...Just when I thought I'd run out of ideas...Some idiot in New York and the outrage of folks on Facebook and Twitter stepped in and saved the day...

New York Post columnist Phil Mushnick caused an uproar last Friday when he wrote in his column that the Brooklyn Nets NBA team, which is moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn for next season, be called the ‘New York Niggers.'’ after the team unveiled its new black-and-white color scheme.I'm not going to pretty it up...That's exactly what he said.

In his column, he writes that since the team has begun taking creative advice from rapper, Jay-Z, who owns a small slice of the team, “What a shock that he chose black and white as the new team colors to stress, as the Nets explained, their new ‘urban’ home — why not have him apply the full Jay-Z treatment?”
He later adds, “Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York Niggers? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn Bitches or Hoes. Team logo? A 9 milli with hollow-tip shell casings strewn beneath. Wanna be Jay-Z hip? Then go all the way!”

Can you believe this fool actually wrote this and published it in a so called newspaper....(The New York Post).

Mann, Facebook and Twitter blew up with this late Friday night...I didn't know enough about the story to comment until now.

The opinion sparked immediate outrage on Twitter, notes The New York Daily News.
“This Clown is a Racist Bigot, this type of animosity is ridiculous and he should be fired,” Nets guard Anthony Morrow tweeted. Sportswriter Bomani Jones added, “Just curious if this Mushnick character would say the same if  say, Francis Ford Coppola owned part of a team?”  Good Question.

The Arrogant Phil Mushnick has issued statements, but has not apologized. “I plan to continue to argue against the negative racial and ethnic stereotyping and the promotion of mindless violence, especially to the young and most vulnerable,” he said in a statement released by the Post.Oh so now, he really cares about Black People right?  No...I think he's jealous of a Black man's success ..One black man in particular..Sean "Jay Z" Carter.

In an email to Bob’s Blitz,  Phil Mushnick wrote, “Such obvious, wishful and ignorant mischaracterizations of what I write are common. Jay-Z profits from the worst and most sustaining self-enslaving stereotypes of Black-American culture and I'M the racist? Some truths, I guess, are just hard to read, let alone think about,” he added.
What mischaractorization? That's what he said. How can you mischaractorize that?
Bob’s Blitz added that the Post’s editors had no issue with his column and that Mushnick will not make any further comments on it.

Amazing....These racists are now becoming so obviously arrogant that they are not even going to apologize for their arrogance and ignorance.  every decent person in New York City, regardless of race should make sure this clown and his newspaper pays dearly for his mis-step.  He can have his opinion...That's his right...But you don't have to buy that rag that he writes it in. The New York Post.

This so called newspaper is just a step away from being the National Enquirer...and even they don't play the race card! Boycott the New York Post!  Damn it feels good to be outraged about something again!
