Soul, This may be normal for the Detroit City Council, but it sure ain't normal for the rest of us. "Irresponsible" is the classic word used to describe journalism by people who wish the so-described stories weren't reported. O. | ||

Then sista' Conyers needs a new job where professionalism is not required. What she does not need is to have her poor behavior excused, thus sending a message that losing your temper and flinging childish insults is acceptable if you are the a certain color. That is not what the young men and women who may look up to their city leaders need. | ||

Every person is entitled to his view point. I wish we could repect Blksoul's views and stop turning every thread into an arguement with him. This is about the crazy lady we call Monica. | ||

Seeing as how your President is black I figured you would give up calling your country Amerikkka, but I guess I'm wrong. Sista Conyers is ignorant, plain and simple. And the only reason this idiot still serves in office is because of name recognition and the fact that some would justify her actions as some sort of "black thing". Both reasons are bullshit and ultimately its this shithole city and its residents who pay for it. | ||

So, acting crazy is just an expression of a rich cultural tradition? wow, the stuff you learn around here... Thanx for clearing that up for me. I always thought crazy was crazy, but now that i know it is a cherished expression of cultural relativism. Goodness, David Duke never could have flipped that script with such aplomb. Crazy ain't crazy, it's black. jeeze. Next time I see Skeeter, downtown's car window cleaner, I'll just chalk up his invisible posse as fellow travelers of BlackSole10 brigade. Thx 4 da hep. | ||

For some reason seeing these two thread titles together gives me an idea: "Security has to restrain Conyers" "Cage fighting arena coming to Macomb Mall?" What if we convene the next City Council meeting under the auspices of the cage-fighting concern?  | ||

Can we also look at this from Kenyatta's point of view? I can only imagine what he's thinking looking across the table at this woman mocking and insulting him. Again, it's one thing to disagree firmly and another thing to fire off inane insults. Blksoul_x- if you truly believe this is appropriate, why did Conyers have to apologize afterwards? There are rules of decorum for meetings held- Monica obviously stepped across the line. | ||

'Johnlodge', I happen to agree with you. Strong young intense leaders like Sista Conyers would be more fitted toward the specific issues hampering the broader Black population. I for one, have been accused of a similar 'hostile' label during my stint in so-called corporate amerikkka'. My intensity was the reason that my 'basic-white' counter-parts where skeptical and fearful. Reversely, I felt the same way about them. However 'basic-white' rules of intensity are described and applied toward aggressiveness and competitiveness. On the other hand, the new Black aggressive behavior is considered inappropriate. The 'white privilege' concept prevents them from hearing and recognizing the coded cruel, inappropriate behavior and dehumanizing ways to which they go about rising to the top of the so-called chain of command. Perhaps the only wrong doing is that Monica is keeping-it-real, as opposed to the use of coded insults and such as the larger society expresses__go figure! The reality is, most Black politicians are fighting a losing battle trying to uphold the democracy of amerikkka'. Despite the respectful efforts by our ancestors, it was never built for us. Historically, it does more in dividing our people than galvanizing our people__go figure! blksoul_atcha! We are the one we have been waiting for! | ||

Biksoul, Conyers made fun of Kwame because he may have cancer. How is that appropriate behavior, especially for city council person of a major city? | ||
Townonenorth Member Username: Townonenorth Post Number: 800 Registered: 10-2007 |
BSX: One set of behavior rules for Black America (note spelling), another for the White? Stunning logic. Using that analogy, if the Whites acted out using the "fierce intensity truth" rules that you have laid out, would this be acceptable behavior? I'd bet not. And I've wasted my 800th post on THIS? go figure! (Message edited by townonenorth on February 11, 2009) | ||

Towny, don't fret the 800th. I've hit that number several times. Sooner or later Lowell ends up resetting for some reason or another. First back in 2001 or 2002, then there was the re-registration in 2003. Then, oh hell I can't remember them all. Just trust me, the count don't matter. | ||
