New York Times most emailed synergy bonus

When I saw, yesterday, that an article about teenage runaways trading sex for a place to stay had made the New York Times' coveted most emailed list, I figured I'd read it - not because I'm looking for strategies on how to score with teenage runaways (or any woman, for that matter), but because I'm interested in helping people, natch.

Then I scrolled down the page of the New York Times app on my iPod Touch, and come to find out another article about teenage runaways made the most emailed list. This one was about how the recession is leading to an increase in the number of teenage runaways. Bonus!

I only skimmed the second article. That first one, though, is interesting than a motherfucking. It's definitely worth a look, if you want to learn about the pimp game. Since I saw those documentaries on HBO, when I was a kid, I've been fascinated with how some guys can talk women into bringing them the money they made from having sex with men, while some guys can't even talk a woman into having sex with them, for free.

The following passage explains how the girl pictured above was turned out, so to speak.

She ran away from her group home in Medford, Ore., and spent weeks sleeping in parks and under bridges. Finally, Nicole Clark, 14 years old, grew so desperate that she accepted a young man’s offer of a place to stay. The price would come later.

They had sex, and he soon became her boyfriend. Then one day he threatened to kick her out if she did not have sex with several of his friends in exchange for money.

She agreed, fearing she had no choice. “Where was I going to go?” said Nicole, now 17 and living here, just down the Interstate from Medford. That first exchange of money for sex led to a downward spiral of prostitution that lasted for 14 months, until she escaped last year from a pimp who she said often locked her in his garage apartment for months.

“I didn’t know the town, and the police would just send me back to the group home,” Nicole said, explaining why she did not cut off the relationship once her first boyfriend became a pimp and why she did not flee prostitution when she had the chance. “I’d also fallen for the guy. I felt trapped in a way I can’t really explain.”

If you like women with huge cans (which is understandable), and you don't mind them being a bit distended and painful-looking, you might want to holler at this broad. You could probably have all she has to offer, in exchange for a few canned goods. That might even be why they're called canned goods.

David Cross sniffed yay in front of Obama

At this year's White House Correspondents' Association dinner, as part of a game of one-upmanship, like that game where you see who can shout penis the loudest. No homo.

Cross said that he was seated "super close to the president" and seated with or near former Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, former Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and "the editor-in-chief of the USA Today."

"But it's crazy and there's security, Secret Service is standing there," said Cross. "I've got photos of all this. ... I'm there and the president is right here and with all these people at the table" Cross snorted some coke, he said. "Maybe 40 feet from the president of the United States!"

If this is true, I'm not sure how you could top that. Maybe if you did a line off of the Constitution.

Further proof Atlanta is on the DL, collectively

I've heard rumors that there's a lot of fruits at Morehouse, but I didn't know it was that bad.

The fact that Morehouse had to come up with a rule barring students at the all-male school from walking around in women's clothes lets me know they had a problem with men walking around in women's clothes severe enough that they had to come up with a new rule. Yikes!

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- An all-male college in Atlanta, Georgia, has banned the wearing of women's clothes, makeup, high heels and purses as part of a new crackdown on what the institution calls inappropriate attire.

Tight jeans and faux hawks are one thing, but makeup, purses and high heels? That sounds less like a school and more like a tranny pageant. Any Morehouse "men" care to corroborate this? I'm looking at you, @damestatus.

The school's vice president says its (openly) teh ghey group is cool with it.

Before the school released the policy, [Dr. William Bynum, vice president for Student Services] said, he met with Morehouse Safe Space, the campus' gay organization.

"We talked about it and then they took a vote," he said. "Of the 27 people in the room, only three were against it."

Roffle at that the three fruits who weren't having this new policy? But if I had to vote on some shit at my school (which was straighter than a motherfucker, natch), I would have voted against it, both because institutional homophobia (as opposed to homophobia for my own personal amusement, nullus) is wrong, mmkay, and for practical purposes.

Clearly, the administration is concerned about the school being perceived as a school for fags, so to speak. This is, after all, the school Martin Luther King, Jr. attended. He was the straightest civil rights leader evar. Not that he had much in the way of competition.

One problem though. Just because Morehouse men can't dress like women, it's not gonna stop them from taking it up the coat. It's just gonna force them to dress like straight men. And some of them might enter into relationships with women, to throw off the scent, thus increasing the AIDS rate amongst black women even further, if that's possible.

Calypso Louis Farrakhan, troofer

In case you weren't already convinced not to take the H1N1 vaccine, here's Calypso Louis explaining how, like Church's Chicken, it makes black men sterile.

“The Earth can’t take 6.5 billion people. We just can’t feed that many. So what are you going to do? Kill as many as you can. We have to develop a science that kills them and makes it look as though they died from some disease,” Farrakhan said, adding that many wise people won’t take the vaccine,” reports United Press International.

“The black community has become toxic and must cleanse and restore peace from within,” Farrakhan added.

For what it's worth, that shit about Church's Chicken might be true. I've been eating Church's Chicken since the 1980s, I'm kicking down 30s door, and I don't have so much as a single kid. I might need to have my "essence" examined under a microscope.

Not that I'm interested in having kids. Who can afford to raise children, with the amount of money I spend on alcohol. (Priorities, people!) But it'd be nice to know my shit doesn't work anyway, in case I need to make a bad decision.

And after the jump is video of Calypso Lou explaining how 9/11 was an inside job, perpetrated by the Fed, to steal oil from Iraq and Afghanistan. Honestly, fried chicken jokes aside, his analysis here is a lot more sophisticated than the liberal Jew-run media had led me to believe he was capable of.

Fast times at Paul Robeson High

When high school kids in Chicago aren't splitting each others heads open to the white meat, they're reproducing as if they were jackrabbits, apparently.

At Paul Robeson High School, which is primarily black (obvs), 115 girls - of about 800 girls total - are either pregnant or already have kids. That's more than one in every eight girls. The fuck?

The principal blames it on absentee fathers:

"It can be a lot of things that are happening in the home or not happening in the home, if you will," [Robeson Principal Gerald] Morrow said. Absentee fathers are another factor, he said.

The babymamas themselves say it's ignorance and trying to get on welfare:

LaDonna Denson and two other Robeson students say parents not talking to teens and, in some cases, the pursuit of public assistance also factor into the pregnancies. None of them thought they'd be moms at such a young age.

The school is opening its own day care, in an abandoned crackhouse across the street:

And coming soon, right across from Robeson, developers are turning a one-time crack house into a day care for student use. "We have to provide some type of environment for them and some form of support for them," Van Vincent, CEO of VLV Development, said.

But where will the students buy their crack?

Also, who's fathering these children? R. Kelly? I'd be willing to bet there isn't anywhere near 115 babydaddies at Robeson. I've been to high school. I know what it's like.

Asher Roth on Obama's Nobel Peace Prize

via Nah Right... NOT! Roffle.

As Kanye West would say, the Nobel Prize just lost its credibility

Barack Obama has only been president for nine months. He hasn't ended the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He refuses to get tough with Israel, even though they stay calling him a dreaded n-word. And yet, the Nobel committee saw fit to award him the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

This was such a sham, Democracy Now! had to call Naomi Klein at home to have her go in. They were also trying to get Jeremy Scahill, but he probably sleeps late. I just barely caught it on Link TV myself, and I went to bed at like 11 last night. (Perhaps if I had a reason to get up in the morning.) Instead, they got this guy Tariq Ali, who explained that the Nobel committee almost once gave the award to Adolf Hitler.

Check the video after the jump.

Michelle Obama: Part cracka-ass cracka

Just yesterday, I was watching the trailer for that Chris Rock movie Good Hair, and I thought to myself, Michelle Obama does have some good hair.

Because black women are obsessed with hair, or their lack thereof, I know I've read - probably on Sandra Rose - that Michelle Obama has some bizarre ritual to keep her fro nice and silky. It wasn't a weave, or any chemical relaxer (i.e. "creamy crack") I'd ever heard of, but it may have been coconuts or some shit. It sounded like some ol' bullshit to me, even then, but what do I know about black women's hair? I'm probably about to learn as much from Good Hair as white people.

As it turns out, the source of Michelle Obama's good hair is probably cracka-ass cracka ancestry. The New York Times conducted and investigation into her genealogy and traced it back to a black woman, a slave, who had halfrican children with a white man, possibly her owner - though at least one of her children was born post-slavery, thus suggesting that this miscegenation wasn't what Whoopi Goldberg would call rape-rape.

Henry Louis Gates, the Harvard professor who got arrested this summer for going home while black, who himself has been known to partake in some miscegenation, and who claims to have discovered through DNA testing that he's only 50.6 percent black, as if that's possible (I guess he didn't want to have any problems with his job in the black department at Harvard), has a post at the Root today with all kinds of fascinating information about black people here in the US' mixed-race ancestry.

For example, did you know that there's hardly a black person here in the US that isn't at least part cracka-ass cracka?

African Americans, just like our first lady, are a racially mixed or mulatto people—deeply and overwhelmingly so. Fact: Fully 58 percent of African-American people, according to geneticist Mark Shriver at Morehouse College, possess at least 12.5 percent European ancestry (again, the equivalent of that one great-grandparent).
[...]
For African American Lives, I’ve tested 21 African Americans, possessing a range of phenotypes—from a person who could “pass” for “white,” and whose father actually did, to people with darker and more traditionally African features, such as Don Cheadle and Chris Rock. Not once has any person tested turned out to be 100 percent African.

If Don Cheadle isn't completely African, you have to wonder who is completely African. Yeah, he does have an incredible (and not just for a black person) command of the English language, but still. Don Cheadle is darker than a motherfucker.

Dey Racis: Israel's anti-interracial dating vigilante squads

Something to think about next April 15th.

NAZARETH // A local authority in Israel has announced that it is establishing a special team of youth counsellors and psychologists whose job it will be to identify young Jewish women who are dating Arab men and “rescue” them.

The move by the municipality of Petah Tikva, a city close to Tel Aviv, is the latest in a series of separate – and little discussed – initiatives from official bodies, rabbis, private organisations and groups of Israeli residents to try to prevent interracial dating and marriage.

In a related development, the Israeli media reported this month that residents of Pisgat Zeev, a large Jewish settlement in the midst of Palestinian neighbourhoods in East Jerusalem, had formed a vigilante-style patrol to stop Arab men from mixing with local Jewish girls.

Hostility to intimate relationships developing across Israel’s ethnic divide is shared by many Israeli Jews, who regard such behaviour as a threat to the state’s Jewishness. One of the few polls on the subject, in 2007, found that more than half of Israeli Jews believed intermarriage should be equated with “national treason”.

Nas' letter must not have reached Chicago

The other day, I suggested kids in Chicago learn when to walk away from a huge violent melee, but they might just consider wearing a helmet.

This morning, a 14 year-old boy tried taking off running from three other kids wielding a metal pipe, but he ended up getting his head split open to the white meat anyway, when one of them threw it at him.

Damn.

I'd suggest he should have ducked, but lord knows I've gotten enough heat this week at XXL for telling Derrion Albert to take the long way home, after the fact.

I only read about it just now on the Drudge Report (my bad), where it was part of a series of links about Obama trying to bring the Olympics to Chicago, I guess so Michael Phelps can get his head split open. I'm assuming it wasn't videotaped - otherwise, I would have seen it this morning on World Star, when I was checking to see if there was any new Rosa Acosta.
