Black hair

I was reading about how whites caused a controversy over Malia's choice in wearing her hair in twists.

Whites seem to fail to understand black hair. They expect blacks to shell out hundreds of dollars per month and lots of valuable time to make their hair look "white".

Then whites get mad when a black person dares have the audacity to say that white people's unacceptence of black hair is what causes these kind of problem.

Blacks are less likely to be hired for sporting a natural look. So essentially they are forced into a corner where they have to shell out money and time to please whites, or sacrifice well paying jobs because they want to be natural.

White women often try to compare their predicament about hair straigtening to women...at least YOU can wear your hair in curls and be unaffected by it.

I never understood the fact that if so many white women and other women had to go through such great lengths to get straight hair, why would they allow straight hair to be all that, why let it be so powerful?

In the end, as usual though, black women can never win...if you relax your hair, you not only damage it, but you waste time and money...if you don't wear your hair relaxed then you get stigmatized.

A slice of irony about Tiger Woods

Many blacks are not sympathetic to Tiger. Whites are angry that Tiger would dare cheat on a white woman...but blacks are not so much angry as they are just enjoying relishing in Tiger's humiliating spectacle.

Blacks were angry when Tiger showcased himself as being "above black" by not calling himself black. So when the white world attacked Tiger for his cheating, the blacks enjoyed his downfall.

In their eyes, he turned on the blacks and should not expect sympathy.

In other words, blacks viewed him as an uppity black who got his comeuppance.

But there is a bit of irony in this. As usual white have made Tiger's actions a "Black thing", just like when whites who kept insisting Obama was biracial, started calling him a black guy (and using racial epithets) because they didn't like his policies (the fact that they resorted to using racial slurs only shows that they couldn't find any real problems with his ideals so they attacked his race to have something to bitch about).

But the fact that blacks are so happy to see Tiger taken down, they don't realize what this means...it means that whites are saying blacks are being uppity by doing what white people do often way too much.

But then again, maybe blacks do know this, and have accepted that a long time ago. Or maybe the joy of seeing Tiger fall is just too great to let themselves be burdened by white peoples usual "hang the black for a wrong that you slap the wrist of a white person for".

Dead Mall Syndrome

Dead Mall Syndrome is when a new and better mall is built that causes people to abandon the mall they are at to go to the new mall. This creates a downturn as those who have money to spend are no longer spending it at the old malls, so there is a loss in revenue.

At first these malls are usually able to retain some customers. Usually black people (sometimes old white people). This is because the mall still has a bus stop that runs through there, while the new mall does not yet.

Whites often blame black people for the destruction of a mall (white people did this to the dead mall that is about a 15 min drive from me). But the truth is blacks are the ones that temporarily keep the mall surfacing above water.

But more and more store continue to pull out due to low revenue...and when the new malls make it possible to access via public transportation (which is vital for any mall business that wants to flourish), the blacks who don't have transportation abandon the mall.

The only ones who are left at the dead mall are the very poor and the very lazy, people who pretty much jut loiter and buy nothing.

The bus stop gets removed which cuts off the line of any potential customers as no one with cars is going to shop at a dead mall.

Soon very few stores exist in the mall.

Now when news springs up of the mall being destroyed or finally closed, former shoppers get upset and up in arms about it. They start reminiscing about how much they loved the mall.

They tend to blame the blacks who were last there before the mall would shut down as destroying the mall. But the truth is, the mall's destruction is at the fault of all frequent shoppers who abandoned it for the new mall.

In my city, there was a new grand mall that was built, it was the nail in the coffin to the mall near me as it was already going downhill. The new mall also did the same to another mall, and to the galleria. It is possible other malls could be affected. But in the case of the mall near me, the last people there were black, but in the case of the other mall, the last people were young blacks and old white women.

When I told my mom the mall was slated to be closed, it made her cry. As much as I missed its glory that I remembered as a child, I couldn't help but ask her where she and many other customers were when the mall started collapsing?

What is the mall supposed to do? Just stay there for nostaligic purposes? Supposedly the Walmart around the corner want to build a new Walmart there. But right now the future of the mall is unknown, some say the people who now own it may try to restore it to its former glory as an outdoors mall (a concept dropped in the 1980s). If they want to revive it, they would have to make it better than the new mall and they would have to restore the bus stop.

But there has been a murder (possibly multiple in its history), which is enough to discourage anyone from ever wanting to go there, even if they arrested the person.

Most mall problems should only have problems with teens causing a mayhem (all the malls in my city and neighboring towns implemented rules saying teens under 17 had to have parents after certain hours, something that mall security never really maintained).

Often there are signs that a mall is going dead even before a new mall is built.

One sign is to pay attention to the stores and attractions that close down. At the mall near me, even before 2003 (the year the new mall opened), stores like JC Penney had left, the game arcade even left. And the movie theater kept undergoing renovations and finally it closed down.

But usually its the advent of a new mall that does it in for dead malls that put them on a path to which they can never be recovered.

Super malls have the power to take down multiple malls. This new mall had everything that none of the malls and the galleria had. It was much bigger too.

In the end, the Dead Mall Syndrome can be blamed on the people. They want bigger and better, they get tired of the old fast and when something new comes along they abandon the old...its only a matter of time til the last people their abandon it for the new too (they abandon primarily cause there is very few places to shop at).

Why I no longer advocate gay rights

Lots of straight people defend gays, I defended gays quietly unlike most straight people.

But now I regret ever defending gays and no longer feel annoyed by my family's homophobia.

But my reasons for being anti-gay are different.

Reasons I no longer support or advocate for gays:

1. They keep trying to dismantle traditions such as the Boy Scouts (atheists do this to).
2. Every gay person I have met has had that "holider than thou, stuck up, I am better than you" attitude. I do not like primadonnas. I hate divas and divos.
3. I can't stand the gay voices, and I hate flamboyance. I mean, must you show it (I also do not like seeing gay people kiss in public.
4. Gay people are very racist and hateful. I just can't advocate for a group like that.
5. They pretend to be Christians when they are not.

Even though I am a liberal, I just can't stand society being too liberal, that is why I am a moderate liberal. It annoys me when I hear girls wanting to be allowed into Boy Scouts and it annoys me when gays cause society to have to go out of its way to bend over backwards because they get offended to goddamn easy.

I do not find "thats so gay" to be offensive...

In the end, I no longer defend gays as every lesbian and gay person has given me all the reasons in the world to join the conservatives on denying gays any rights.

New blog made

I am still going to use this blog but I made my personal blog using a different email of mine.

Its at blogger.

The catch is i only posted the link at facebook.

The blog is called Exploration. I am not going to post the link on here though. It really isn't important to this blog.

Getting paid means your not a hero

I don't think soldiers, cops, paramedics, firemen, teachers, etc are heroes.

Why? Because they are getting paid for what they do. A TRUE hero does something because its the right thing not because its their job in which they are being paid to do.

Ever since 9/11 people have been loosely defining what makes someone a hero. By peoples new definition of it, everyone is a hero.

A hero is a good samaritan (something that is rare nowadays out of fear of being sued by the person they are saving).

But it annoys me when someone labels someone a hero for doing the job they are paid to do.

People need to stop labeling someone a hero just like they need to stop idolizing people.

A New Blog to be

I am currently debating making another blog, I am not sure If I want it to be at Blogger, Wordpress, or somewhere else entirely.

This new blog would be more personal...more of an adventure and a way to keep me focused on who I am.

It would be the blog I am willing to let others know about.

I'd call it Exploration.
