Your @$$ Should Go To Jail....

Trayvon Martin is dead. He is not coming back. There is nothing to be done about that.

George Zimmerman was acquitted. He won't be tried again. And contrary to the thoughts of those who subscribe to the tenants of street justice, there is nothing legitimate that can be done about that.

Therefore, I am going to skip the ins and outs of Trayvon's murder untimely death and Zimmerman's circus trial...to defer my attention to idiots that somehow made this all about them and how the "Da Man" continues to keep them down.

Let's start with Michael Vick.

STFU about that already. Some folks are mad screaming about how Vick got time for fighting dogs and Zimmerman got off for murdering a child.

Ok. I see your point about Zimmerman getting off. I am with you all the way on that one.

But tell me what the hell that has to do with Michael Vick's millionaire ass funding a dog fighting ring? No. For real. Because I am confused.

He bought the dogs. Fought the dogs.

Am I right so far?

The spot got hot. His boy got pinched. And he snitched on Vick's ass.

So the way I see it, not only was he guilty of the crime for which he was accused, but he was also guilty of poor judgment and surrounding himself with the wrong kind of motherfuckers.

Those 19 months he served? Maybe he didn't deserve them on behalf of what did to those dogs. I don't know. I don't really care. But I figure he deserved at least that for being so damn stupid.

See, here's the thing.

The fact that Trayvon's killer walked free yesterday, does not negate the responsibility you must take for your own actions.

If you sell drugs and get caught?

Your ass should go to jail.

If you shoplift a slab of ribs from Piggly Wiggly?

Your ass should go to jail.

If you get caught buying prostitutes?

Your ass should go to jail.

Write a bad check at Wal-Mart?

Your ass should go to jail.

Commit an act of domestic violence?

Your ass should go to jail.

Skip out on child support?

Yep. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Just cooperatively take your ass to jail.

Get caught smoking weed in a public place?

Your ass should....
Well, wait a minute.
Imma pump the brakes on that one. Because should it become legal in South Carolina one day, I don't want to seem like a hypocrite.

But in the meantime, you will probably have to take your ass to jail.

My point is that we know that there are certain people more vulnerable to our nation's justice system than others. Sadly, that demographic is skewed to those that are young, black and male. The scales are already unequally stacked, but when we make conscious decisions to exacerbate that vulnerability what do you think we look like to the so-called "Man?"

Ripe-ass "nigger" fruit. That's what. And yes. They will grab at the easy-to-get, low hanging fruit first. But don't think won't find a way to climb that tree to pluck the fruit from even the highest branch. Because I don't care who you are, in these United States of America, there are some things that even money can't buy.

So all this thugged-out, misplaced, "Free-Boosie," "Pray for Gucci" type righteous indignation that some of y'all have over the Trayvon Martin verdict? Please cease and desist. Because if a movement is to really happen, y'all won't do a thing but fuck it up with this stupidity.

And I'm not saying that you should stop fighting for what you believe. I'm just saying that maybe you should save it for an occasion more appropriate to your cause.

You know? Like the next time one of your homies gets pinched for robbing a Subway for a one if its giant party subs to take to a Labor Day cookout in the projects.

Awwww. It's okay.

You're welcome.
