Sad, but probably very true

Reality has a liberal bias.

Numbers really don’t lie. Republicans/conservatives on the other hand…

Since they changed Philosopher’s Stone to Sorcerer’s Stone for America, I decided to change the rest since us Americans are too dumb to understand the word philosopher:

Michael is the Greatest to Ever Step Behind a Microphone. Period.
It never ceases to amaze me how many times people try to dethrone Michael Jackson. These the same people that deemed Justin Timberlake the New King of Pop. Same people that deemed Ashanti the “Princess of R&B” after her album had been out ~looks at watch~ 35 minutes. When it comes to music, people will give out a title quicker than you can blink. But we know, only two “titles” have any real significance as it pertains to the music industry: The Queen of Soul, (duh) and of course The King. Of Pop. As in Popular Music. As in Across A L L genres. Period.
NOBODY in the history of music has accomplished more than Michael Jackson. Globally adored, there will NEVER be another name bigger in music on a world level. I mean, folks in the jungles of New Zealand know MJ. You’re born knowing MJ. He is in our DNA. I mean, I’m a Prince fan myself, but got damn…Micheal is Michael.
After Bey’s appearance tonight, several psychologically disturbed stalker fanatic freakazoids deemed her the “new MJ” or the “female MJ.” Because I loathe stalker fans worse than sugarless kool-aid, let me explain why Bey will NEVER be MJ. Ever.
Bey has one, maybe two significant songs. Single Ladies and Crazy In Love. That’s it. And I’m being generous with C.I.L. MJ has…seven…from ONE album. On any given day, on ANY radio station, you will Beat It. Or Billy Jean. Or Thriller. Lady of My Life. Or Wanna Be Startin Something. Yall this one album. I got plethora to choose from. Michael’s musical library is second only to Jesus. Wait a minute, He didn’t record an album did He? Never mind… Bey has zero growth. Crazy In Love IS Deja Vu. Which is Singles Ladies. Which is Freakum Dress. Which is Diva. Which Ring the Alarm. All of it is similar. Now she hollering she run the world. 2 years ago, you wanted to be a boy. I am confused. Are you confused? I’m confused.
MJ WORST selling album (Invincable) Has sold more than ALL of Bey’s combined. COMBINED.
4 of MJ albums were listed in the 500 Greatest Albums of All-Time (Rolling Stone). 4. Only The Beatles have more. Bey? —-___—-
Bey’s 2nd cd sold 500,000 in the first week. At it’s peak, Thriller was selling….wait for it…ONE MILLION COPIES A WEEK. PER WEEK. Like. Week 1-1 MILLION. Week 2-1 MILLION. Week 3-1 MILLION.
MJ was making LEGEND WORTHY music at the same time as Prince, Paul McCartney (The Beatle) George Michael, Whitney Houston, AND little sister Janet. Not to mention, icons like Tina Turner, Gladys Knight, James Brown, Ray Charles, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, AND Marvin Gaye were all in the midst of career comebacks. MJ was outselling all of them. Combined. Madonna. Yall know her? Yep…OWNED by MJ. Bey was competing against…Ciara. Ashanti. Rihanna. Taylor Swift (who has outsold her) Britney Spears (Who has outsold her) the level of competition is laughable.
I could go on. I really could. But I won’t. I’m not a “Hater.” (Although I do refer to Bey as Billy Goat Gruff JUST to piss her stans off…LMAO). I appreciate her body of work. I dig that a black woman “runs the world.” I dig that. Sexy. But…let’s give MJ his much deserved credit. For every one album Bey has sold, MJ has sold 10. The numbers don’t lie. Psycho fans do. But the numbers don’t.
PS: MJ has some psycho fans too…lets not front for tumblr…LMAO
Unapologetic. Sorry.

PREACH, My Brotha. Everything said was the absolute TRUTH.

I had to make this because I was planning to write an extended rant about the long-standing obsession with dehumanizing, de-feminizing, disrespecting, marginalizing and silencing Black women, but I honestly don’t know what I can add to the discussion at this point. Re-blog if you adore Black Women.

As a Black woman myself, I approve. We’re hated on for those exact reasons you stated. It drives people up the wall when someone is intelligent, smart AND beautiful, add in that they are a minority, whoa that shit just BOTHERS and BLOWS MINDS because in their eyes they see it as “how dare they show me up! I’m supposed to be above them!” When folks can’t buy what makes Black women tick with a check book or pray on their knees for it, they hate, plain and simple…I could spend a whole day discussing/writing about this just from experience, but it’s just plain and simple—-people hate what they can’t obtain on their own merits.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything said above, I agree with. WE are hated simply for the reasons above. We are “not supposed” to be intelligent, gorgeous, desirable, successful, confident, etc because that is not what was in the minds of those who set out centuries ago to oppress us. But guess what. We are all of those things and more. We were ALWAYS all of those things and more…and the fact that the world is re-realizing it is what makes it so threatening. We simply rock…after all, we are the cornerstone of the human race. It’s as simple as that.

Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for President as a Republican, which is surprising, since I assumed he was running as a joke.

Donald Trump often appears on Fox, which is ironic, because a fox often appears on Donald Trump’s head.

If you’re at the Washington Post table with Trump, and you can’t finish your entree, don’t worry — the fox will eat it.

…Gary Busey said recently that Donald Trump would make a great President. Of course, he said the same thing about an old, rusty bird cage he found.

Donald Trump owns the Miss USA paegeant, which is great for Republicans because it will streamline their search for a vice president.

Donald Trump said recently he had a ‘great relationship with the blacks.’ Though unless ‘the Blacks’ area family of white people, I bet he’s mistaken.
