Just because I ain't got love for ya............
..........Don't make me a Hater:
Definition of a Hater: Someone who is jealous or envious of another
Scene: Some chic from accounting, 24 year old black chic wears a tacky ass ghetto short short hoochie mama dress to work. Obviously she gets some looks from other broads to which she says "Oh they just hating on me".
Scene: Usher (the rnb singer) on a recent interview when asked about his sagging album sales and lack of male fans says "Oh they just a bunch of haters"
Usher....bro....I'm not hating on you. I just hate you. OK that's a bit strong I don't hate you, it's just your ego is SOOOOO huge, I feel like you are already your biggest fan. I can't compete with that. Frankly I will save my $13.00 for an artist that needs it (I'm talking to you Lil Mama)
Somehow in popular culture the term hater has become this generations "Not" or "Sit on It". Its not possible (especially with my friends I'm around all the time, ya know black folks? I believe the proper term is "colored" people) To simply not like something someone has on, or to not like a song or artist who is hot without being labeled a "hater".
A friend of mine recently got fired from a job for excessive tardiness. His wife was like "why those people hating on my baby like that?" Shit like that.Gets on my damn nerves! Hater is one of those all encompassing words that sounds very hip and can be used to avoid actual conversation or debate. Sorta like when people say "And what not" (I hate that as well)Yes I'm a "and what not" hater.
So when super short skirt hoochie girl said "Y'all hating on my dress" it was a way of avoiding the fact that she looked a mess. Actually I ended up telling her "I'm not hating on you, its just your skirt is so short I can see your labia!"
The term is still applicable in certain instances but is seriously on its way out. Think twice before using.

Do You believe in Gosh?
I was listening to some co-workers go on and on about how crazy Scientoligist are.
"They are so weird, they believe that aliens from another planet came down and populated the earth, that's so far fetched".
I can do nothing but smile when I hear stuff like this. Is believing that aliens in spaceships visited this planet eons ago any more far fetched than Christian beliefs?
Far fetched? This from Christians who have no problem believing that humans back in biblical times could control the elements (Moses) control animals (Noah) create and transmute matter (Jesus) and rise from the dead (Jesus). Those powers sound like abilities possessed by the X-men or Superfriends!
Its amusing to me that these amazing superhuman feats are not only accepted readily by Christians who are so quick to call Scientoligists weirdo's but to even question if such events were plausible or possible is met with disdain. A bit of selective acceptance of the absurd going on methinks.
I have a hard time believing in anything when my only proof is "The Bible says". It's almost a bit scary that its good enough reason (the Bible says) to base your entire life, soul and belief system on, even when it defies logic.
Hey Dianetics is an old book too just like the Bible.
(For the record I think Scientologists are a bit kooky as well but no more so than Christians who base their entire belief system on an old, impossible to verify book.
I'm just saying. A burning Bush? Hey! The Human Torch of the Fantastic Four can do stuff like that, maybe I will worship him!

Hancock: The First Ni**a Superhero
(My friend Bobby sent me this from jasirix blog. I didnt write it and don't completely agree but he does have some points. You decide)
Hancock: The First Ni**a Superhero
I know I know I'm a conspiracy theorist…
It's just a coincidence that the first "superhero" depicted on the silver screen as a criminal, alcoholic, lazy, foul mouthed, not giving a you know what bum, living in a broken down trailer, who everybody hates including the people he saves, just happens to be black.
Right?
And, it's just a coincidence the one man who loves Hancock, has faith in him and truly cares about him as a person; is an idealistic white man who wants to save the entire planet. Let's call him the Anti-Bush. Oh and I can't forget his adorable little son is the only character, besides his loving father, that doesn't refer to Hancock as an a**hole.
Right?
And, is it just a coincidence that Hancock only maintains his super powers if he stays away from a "beautiful" white woman who is technically his wife.
You have got to be kidding, right??!!
I mean, of course the Blacks and Latinos hate Hancock because the only ones depicted in the movie are criminals, and although he does an extremely poor job, is often late, drunk, unshaven, shabbily dressed and does more damage than good (just coincidences!) he does, at the very least, fight crime.
But, everything changes for friendless Hancock when he saves a white man with a heart of gold and an angel of a son who wants to help Hancock with his "image". (Because of course America won't accept an always drinking and cursing black man with a rap sheet, I mean who does he think he is Lil Wayne?) In a matter of minutes he convinces Hancock to turn himself in and go to jail. He even writes his press conference speech for him!
Mr. Save the World then proceeds to "civilize" the savage Hancock by convincing him to stop drinking, shave, wear a hero uniform, treat other people with kindness and consideration, and even how to land without ruining public property. Things that; in the 80 years he remembers being a superhero, poor Hancock never seemed to figure out.
After his much needed "makeover" Hancock finally receives the love of the people he was always looking for. And, even when he realizes he is not the only superhero and his "savior's" wife is his long lost love, he gladly leaves because when they are together they become "mortals". Plus, she was smart enough to hide her powers, because unlike Hancock; she could care less about saving people -- she just wants to live a "normal" life. (How ironic that her husband wants to save the world and she actually has the power to do so but selfishly refuses to do so because she prefers being a spaghetti cooking, house wife.)
The black man, even though he's a superhero, needs the white man to properly educate him and integrate him into his society and the white woman who is also a superhero has to hide her power just to keep her white man (coincidence!!!)
Come on now, we all know that any woman in her right mind would take Jason Bateman over Will Smith, and of course Hancock does have his bird to keep him company (yes, it's literally a bird).
But, please don't leave right after the movie ends or you'll miss a bug eyed Mike Epps playing — You guessed it, a jive talking criminal— one steaming pile of white supremacy with a coon on top!
Don't believe me?
Well, just compare Hancock to the other superheroes of the summer like millionaire, genius, scientist Iron-man or millionaire, playboy, martial art expert Batman. Hell, even Bruce Banner (The Hulk) is a world renown scientist who only seems to get into trouble when his skin is no longer…….I know, I know I'm a conspiracy theorist.
Well, at least there is one more action movie coming out this summer that stars a black man! Don Cheadle plays a Black Muslim and former solider with apparent connections to a number of terrorist operations in a movie called "TRAITOR".
OK, OK, I'm sure this is just a coincidence.
Right?
