The Ignorance of Our Dying Society

This week a black boy, a South High school graduate/ "supposed" basketball star, was shot and killed while trying to break into and rob someone else's house. And now he get's bulletins like this ""R.I.P JOHN CARSON" SPRINGFIELD LEGEND" all across myspace.

So, you get killed trying to rob someone, and instead of everyone pointing out that you're an idiot, you're loved? How the fuck does that work? I mean, it's bad enough he was stupid enough to try and rob someone else, but add that to being stupid enough to do it and get shot? We should be using his story in elementary schools to show dumbass kids what not to do. Not praising him for it. And if he was white, we probably would be. But he's not. He was black. So of course, he's being immortalized. All the "G's," "hoodrats," "street teams," "gangstas," and "homies" are all crying outrage, legacy, "thug love." And who can blame them? I mean, all he was doing was trying to rob someone else. But seriously. Give me a fucking break. The dumbass tried to break into someone's house and steal their stuff. He deserved it. I only hope he bled and suffered a little bit before he died. If only so he learned a lesson before he died. Give it a week and I'm sure the liberals will be using this as a reason for pushing Gun Control. I can see the arguments now:

"This poor BLACK man was simply trying to get by, and this fool thought he had the right to protect himself, and shoot anyone dumb enough to try and take his stuff. Outrage!!"

Now at this point, the majority of my readers are probably shaking their heads and calling me a racist. Soon the town mob will come banging on my door crying out for blood because I'm discriminating, hating, and supporting bigotry. Let them. At this point, I could care less. I cannot stand the stupidity. The ignorance must be stopped. We are a society that is slowly slipping away into nothingness. And of course, my liberal brethren will find a way to blame this on George W, like they do everything else, from baldness to high gas prices. But face the truth. Our society has been dying long before even Bush Sr. was in office. I'm not even sure where to lay blame. But currently i see the infectious disease in our music, our movies, our news, our books, our clothes, our speech. Everything!! Take this for instance. I was wasting my time on Myspace, and was looking up some music when I stumbled across "Young Jeezy's" picture on the main page, with a link. I clicked, listening to the jungle beats, and browsed the comments many people had left. Now the first question in my mind is "What the fuck is a "Jeezy?" followed quickly by... "What language are these comments in?"

"WUS HOOD MY NIGGA ACE BOOG. OF BODYMORE MURDERLAND. REA RECOGNIZE REAL! KEEP IT STREET MY NIGGA! OUT!"

"What Up My Dude? I'm Just Coming Thru To Give U Some Props For What U Doing Out There In Da Game! Keep Doing Ya Thang...Cause They Can't Band The Snowman! Cheaaaa....Ayeeeeeeee!"

"wat it dew playa, keep doin it 4 da streets my nigga, you jus keep gettin better and better each time u come out wit new songs. im definately gettin dat inspiration CD,cant wait for it... jus keep doin ya thang my nigga you doin a great job aight... duce"

"A dawg u is my nigga mane.....a lot of niggas done gave up on u but not me bruh I tell errbody I fucks wit Jeezy, anybody who don't FUCK U"

"Whats Crackin Cuh Cant Wait Till December 12th you know so i could cop thug inspiration 3 times ya digg and Ima Put All My Homies On It Aight Cuhz"

"YA BOI FEELINDA ALBUM MAN CTE OH NIGGA YOU ON DAT FIRE CRIP FLAG UP 4 YA MAN SOUTH CAROLINA BOI GOT YA BACK YA NEED US HIT US UP WE N DA A NOW"

I mean seriously. Will someone please.... EXPLAIN this to me. I have no idea what any of those mean. These people worship him. He is even referred to as "The Snowman" because he used to be a cocaine dealer. So I guess that somehow makes him cooler? I don't understand it. It blows my mind. Take Curtis James Jackson III for instance. He is popular because he was shot 9 times. How is that cool? OO, I'm awesome because I don't know how to wear my hat straight. Or because I wear a band-aid on my face. Or because I don't understand the function of a belt. I'm cool because I've got more metal in my mouth, than i do in my kitchen.

The ignorance must stop. Someone must take a stand somewhere. If people continue to do nothing, we are going to slip into nothingness. I mean, seriously. Conservatives? You must just not have the balls to say anything because you're terrified that the NAACP and the rest of the liberals out there will get angry and yell at you. Liberals? I'm going to supply you with all the motivation you need. Famed rapper Curtis James Jackson III, aka "50 Cent" said that if it wasn't for his felonies barring him, he would have voted for George W. Bush, and he has supported him in the past. That right there should be enough for you to take action.

So, I feel better now that I've ranted and raved for a bit, but this is not a closed subject. Something must be done. We need to take a stand against stupidity and ignorance.
