Reality Rewind...

 

I tuned into ‘Love & Sofrito’  tonight when I should have instead been catching up on answering a Popeyes online questionnaire in order to redeem a free two piece meal this week. You have your priorities and I have mine.

Now I am left with the daunting task of covering a topic I will never know shit about: the perks of white entitlement. This is what a means to an end has become for me. Stay in school, kids. Thankfully, my copy and paste game has never been more flawless.

Via Hip Hop Wired:

Jen The Pen has some explaining to do. During last night’s episode of Love & Hip Hop New York, the Staten Island native got into a heated argument with Raqi Thunda about hosting a radio show together. Near its conclusion it resulted in some uncomfortable banter surrounding the advantages of being a white girl in society and race in general.

Early in the show, Jen The Pen and Raqi Thunda auditioned for a spot on Hot 97. The former felt a ways because she felt like the latter dominated the convo and shut her out during the segment. Of course the two tried to talk things out, which quickly turned into petty and loud arguing.

After Raqi threw in a verbal jab by saying, “Have fun trying to get hot,” Jen The Pen responded in kind with, ”I’m white, honey it will get done.”

Say what now? Seems like Jen was invoking white privilege, which will not win you points when you throw it in the face of a person of color, on a show whose cast is dominated by them. Just saying.

A gesture of honesty goes down well.

Good news

 Very little has been said about this…..On December 2, Basque athlete Iván Fernández Anaya was competing in a cross-country race in Burlada, Navarre. He was running second, some distance behind race leader Abel Mutai - bronze medalist in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the London Olympics. As they entered the finishing straight, he saw the Kenyan runner the certain winner of the race mistakenly pull up about 10 meters before the finish, thinking he had already crossed the line.

 Fernández Anaya quickly caught up with him, but instead of exploiting Mutai's mistake to speed past and claim an unlikely victory, he stayed behind and, using gestures, guided the Kenyan to the line and let him cross first.

 
Ivan Fernandez Anaya, a Basque runner of 24 years who is considered an athlete with a big future (champion of Spain of 5,000 meters in promise category two years ago) said after the test: "But even if they had told me that winning would have earned me a place in the Spanish team for the European championships, I wouldn't have done it either. I also think that I have earned more of a name having done what I did than if I had won. And that is very important, because today, with the way things are in all circles, in soccer, in society, in politics, where it seems anything goes, a gesture of honesty goes down well."

He said at the beginning: unfortunately, very little has been said of the gesture. And it's a shame. In my opinion, it would be nice to explain to children, so they do not think that sport is only what they see on TV: violent kicks in abundance, posh statements, fingers in the eyes of the enemy ...

Instead of believing others, google yourself.

 

 These are by no means complete and the list is like junior high school level at most in the global conspiracy schemes.

So .. ; )

Human Kind vs. Humanity = LIFE! Where have these values gone to?, I wonder...
