NIGGAAAA

?

Ha, yea I said it! And what i can say it because i'm black right?  But Paula Deen can't cause she is an old white woman from the south.  Right?

Its not that simple. What is simple enough is that the word Nigger is the most offensive word in American history. Unlike other racial slurs Nigger, was solely devised to negatively describe Black Americans.  It is not a spin off of a word, or once a harmless characteristc. It is not okay for anyone to use the word, regardless of race, cultural background, education or lack there of, etc.
But lets take it a step further..


White Friends, just so you know it is offensive to commonly compare someone's skin colour as 'Black as that board".. or black anything..because when you do, you instantly note that you, as a white person, see first, and foremost, our "differences." We are not novelties. Paula, who up into a to recent past asked that her black employees to dress as slaves for parties. Who wanted a Plantation style wedding for her son( ie SLAVES) She also openly admits that her Grandfather wanted the South to win the Civil War so that he could hold on to his workers..Not workers Paula, SLAVES.
But realically, Paula Deen is outdated (no pun intended), in the days of Yoga and Gluten Free, Vegan living, what place do we really have for a butter loving chef? None.

What is about food that brings out the racist?

Well at least we are number one at something--Atlanta Named Most Toxic U.S. City,

?

Las Vegas has far from a clean reputation, but in Forbes' list of America's Most Toxic Cities, Las Vegas is named the least toxic of 40 major metropolitan areas.

Forbes ranked the cities based on the number of Superfund sites in the principal city, number of facilities that release toxic chemicals, amount of toxic chemicals released in the area and air quality ranking.

Following Las Vegas as the top 10 least toxic cities are Sacramento, Riverside, Austin, Seattle, San Diego, Virginia Beach, San Jose, New York and Phoenix.

Surprised to see a major city like New York in the top ten cleanest? Forbes explains:

Crowded urban areas are often thought of as the most polluted, but the latter isn't always caused by the former. While the Atlanta metro area takes top honors for toxicity, don't blame the city alone. The Atlanta metro includes the cities of Sandy Springs and Marietta, the sites of chemical plants, metal coaters and concrete factories. The cities have toxic-release levels equal at or higher than those Atlanta, in spite of populations that are 15% and 13% the size of Atlanta's, respectively.

The title of most toxic city goes to Atlanta, followed by Detroit, Houston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Jacksonville, Baltimore and Portland.

In some cases it's not the main city itself that is to blame for poor air or dirty water. As Forbes explains, much of the pollution for some cities comes from factories and plants in surrounding areas.

"...while the Philadelphia metro area is our fourth most toxic area, the City of Brotherly Love doesn't hold the bulk of the blame for the pollution. Factories in smaller Wilmington, Del., in the same metro area, reported releasing 57% more pounds of toxins than Philadelphia in 2007. Wilmington houses a Pepsi bottler and General Motors assembly plant, as well as the headquarters of chemical company Dupont."
The most toxic cities:
1. Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta
2. Detroit-Warren-Livonia
3. Chicago-Naperville-Joliet
4. Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown
5. Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington
6. Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor
7. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana
8. Jacksonville
9. Baltimore-Towson
10. Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton

The least toxic cities:
1. Las Vegas-Paradise
2. Sacramento--Arden-Arcade--Roseville
3. Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario
4. Austin-Round Rock
5. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue
6. San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos
7. Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News
8. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara
9. New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island
10. Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale

Hello my name is Taylor and I am looking for somewhere to live that will allow kids and my dog Coley shes 6 weeks old at the moment and should get to be 30 ponds max. I really need somewhere to live my boyfriend and I currently broke up and he wants me to move out of our apartment after I come back from a trip I am taking to Minnesota this June. ill be back on the 15th maybe sooner so i would like to meet some people and talk about living situation and if myself and my daughter would feel comfortable living there. I am very kind dont mind smoking would prefer a place where smoking is done outside for my daughters sake. I am 17 years old will be 18 in november this year. I graduated from high school a year and a half early. I am very responsible and pay rent on time every time. I would prefer to move somewhere that I wouldnt have to be on a lease just incase I decide to move again. Maybe a month to month lease agreement? I would like to pay $400 a month including utilties for a 1 bedroom maybe even a bathroom just for us. If you have anything that is pretty big and has a nice size closet for my daughter and I's belongs that would be nice. But I'm open minded just need somewhere to live really. Theres a pic of me and my daughter at the bottom we both look different than that now but very similar and a pic i got of the internet of a pup that looks just like mine but mine doesnt have a white chin.
Thank you for your time
sincerely

Taylor


Mother's and people with kind hearts if you have any help for her advice, network, cash flow, baby stuff let me know i'll let her know .

I love you Mom(s)!

really?

Congrats to Homos! D.C. now recognizes same-sex marriage. Couples that legally wed in Iowa, Vermont, Mass, New Hamp, and formally California, will have their marriage recognized in the District of Columbia. The measured was passed by a vote of 12 to 1. Who wants to guess who the "1" was?
D.C.'s finest politician Former Mayor Marion Barry (D-Ward 8). I've sought long and hard to find a transcript of his exact words at the council meeting this afternoon but the news is to fresh and FIOA is not quick but i'll paraphrase what i heard on NPR "This isn't a personal decision its one of morals"-"I'm not against the vote or the decision or those who side with the issue, i just can't bring my self to support it"

OH Marion! do you remember what you said on April 28th during your anti marriage equality rally? No? I got you!
"There are a lot of issues that we agree on, there are some that we don't agree on, but....we have to say no to same sex marriage in D.C." then he urged the crowd to "pack the city council chambers" on May 5th (today when the board voted) "You can't just talk about it, brother, you have to work for it. You've got to go across the street and walk the halls of City Council, confront all 12 of [the Council members,] eye to eye, morality against immorality."
YO Marion do you know what is immoral? CRACK-COCAINE!
You know what else is F-ing Immoral? The fact that you spent the first part of your political "career" defending the rights and equal treatment of Black Americans! and now you stand there with a group of mostly African American's and your coward friends and hypocrite Pastors and say that consensual adult marriage is immoral? What is paying for prostitution and Crack with tax payer's money? a hobby? You are a flipping idiot dude and so are those who've voted for you and supported you all these years. I believe in second chances but in your case i believe you've been too fortunate.
I'm disgusted.
Yay for Gays!
peace


The Associated Press
Tuesday, May 5, 2009; 12:12 PM

WASHINGTON -- After an emotional debate, the D.C. Council has given final approval to legislation that recognizes same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions.

Tuesday's vote is considered the first step toward eventually allowing gay marriages to be performed in Washington.

The issue now goes before Congress, which has final say over the city's laws.

The vote was 12-to-1, with former Mayor Marion Barry casting the lone opposing vote. He called it an "agonizing and difficult decision" that he made after prayer and consulting with the religious community.

Love and Thanks

IF you get time this week-end read this and reflect but don't rush it.


One of my Mothers' "LifeLongers" (people you've spent their entire careers at IBM) sent her this-i usually delete things from my mother (sorry mom) but this one idk i just didnt.

Recently i've been thinking about life and how lucky I am to have moved to Berywn. I can't imagine meeting in my life a better more genuine group of people and such a unique set of individuals. Christian, Pearce, Brisco, Kerry, Hanna, Mich, Jake, Chase, Curt, Diego, Andrea, Amy, Davey, Becca ("if i forgot you, i don't hate you, that just my human nature you dig")-- I'd like to think that is us dancing and partying in that picture below..only they need a few more minorities in that pic eh?


Berwyn thanks for last night and every night. I love you guys.

and to my Diamonds across the country sTs, JR, FOX, BRY, The Stews(now one Foster :-P), B Led, JHS, RR, LAW, HC, Nate Dogg and Abster-i Really miss you guys-we should all try and meet in Athens for the first GA game this year-mini-reunion of sorts.

The Charles Schulz Philosophy!



The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the?
'Peanuts' comic strip.


You don't have to actually answer the questions.


Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.


1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.


2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.


3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.


4. Name ten people who have won ?the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.


5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and
actress.


6. ?Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
?





How did you do?


The point is , none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.


These are no second-rate achievers.


They are the best in their fields.


But the applause dies..


Awards tarnish.


Achievements are forgotten.


Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.






Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:


1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.


2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult ?time.


3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.


4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special!!


5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.






Easier?

The lesson:


The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials..
the most money...or the most awards.


They simply are the ones who care the most.






Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life, like I did.

opps-take 2

?


sorry guys i thought i published a post about the Bar Louie 2009 Rock the Tots competition last night. Yours truly was a paramedic and i am happy to report that no one died!
Congrats to Jared for winning the BL employee TTEC and Congrats to Big Bess on winning the overall TTEC by eating 2.8 pounds of tater tots.



On another note. I am gearing up to work with the guys at That Fresh Radio Piece to host a show on renters rights and the lack there of. We recently discovered that our house is being foreclosed on because our landlord Licensed Long and Foster Agent Charles "Chuck" Bailey intentionally did so. What did he do with the money? That doesn't matter. The fact is someone sought to took their negative karma and passed it onto others and across the country honest people are being screwed over by greedy predators out for their self interest. There are few rights protecting renters and that must change. Renters need justice, and the dishonest unAmericans who are taking advantage of their neighbors need to be called out, abashed.


This week-end
  • Caps are playing the Rangers for their Fifth do or die playoff game. (0-4 on to game six Sunday NY)
  • Good luck to everyone doing the 25 mile ROAR for Autism

LaChaBenn.com maybe slow this week. As always i will try to keep LaChaBenn.com that Fresh Blog Piece but i want to deliver an awesome Landlord Tenent segment "The Man." And real talk i'm not in the best place right now mentally or spiritually (inside i'm steamed about being deceived about my housing situation); i need to get back to peace.
Much love

how ironic--i guess i can get married In Iowa

?


I made the comment on my latest blog Marriage: "i'm so glad i can't get married yet" i guess some in Iowa thought they'd show me! Sure enough homosexuals arenow allowed to marry in Iowa.

This article was sent to me by a very awesome young lady i'd like to share it with YOU!

"La
An interesting article.. I really like the way Iowa is approaching this issue. Finally, someone is actually understanding what the constitution of the United States is SUPPOSE to do.

Peace,

"In Iowa Gay Marriage Ruling, Truth is the Winner
By Peter Montgomery
April 4, 2009
A new report shows that when Americans are assured that clergy aren't required to perform same-sex marriages an interesting thing happens.
Celebration in Iowa, near the capitol.

Religious Right leaders have consistently tried to build opposition to marriage equality by portraying marriage equality and religious liberty as incompatible. People For the American Way Foundation’s recent Right Wing Watch In Focus report documented the deceptive ways that Religious Right leaders blur the distinction between civil and religious marriage.

There’s power to the religious liberty argument—on the marriage equality side, that is. Two polls cited in the PFAWF report show that, when Americans who don’t initially support allowing same-sex couples to get married are asked a followup—“If the law guaranteed that no church or congregation would be required to perform marriages for same-sex couples, I would support allowing gay couples to legally marry,” support for marriage equality jumps a remarkable 12 to 14 percent. There’s a lot of public support to be gained by debunking the Religious Right on this front.

That’s why it was especially gratifying that the Iowa Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling devoted considerable space to dealing respectfully with religious objections to same-sex marriage and explaining clearly why religious beliefs about marriage cannot override the constitutional principle of equality when it comes to civil marriage. Here’s the concluding portion of the Court’s section on religion:

In the final analysis, we give respect to the views of all Iowans on the issue of same-sex marriage—religious or otherwise—by giving respect to our constitutional principles. These principles require that the state recognize both opposite-sex and same-sex civil marriage. Religious doctrine and views contrary to this principle of law are unaffected, and people can continue to associate with the religion that best reflects their views. A religious denomination can still define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, and a marriage ceremony performed by a minister, priest, rabbi, or other person ordained or designated as a leader of the person’s religious faith does not lose its meaning as a sacrament or other religious institution. The sanctity of all religious marriages celebrated in the future will have the same meaning as those celebrated in the past. The only difference is civil marriage will now take on a new meaning that reflects a more complete understanding of equal protection of the law. This result is what our constitution requires.
"




If every state...well the conservative states, approached gay marriage in this non secular light more people would accept this idea. Even for me. I never understood how people can be sooo passionate against preventing love between two people. But to "clear it[gay marriage]" of religious connections to redneck churc..i mean conservative churches you essentially break down all arguments against gay marriage. THe only legit arguments left are for people are are hell bent on believe that homosexual is a "sickness" (thats a reference to Mr. Haggard.)
Cheers to all, i bet the rainbows are a flyin high!

Thanks Jamie!

LAST NIGHT

I didn't even get an answer!, i tried to call, but you probably let me down"
I love that long, don't like diddy so much, but like that song.

Ok so Props to the Lunar eclipse last night, (a full moon was blocked from the sun, because of the earths shadow) we (on the western hemisphere) get another one in 2010.

Last two nights went out for my Best friends Birthday, pictures are soon to come, sTs i hope you enjoyed.

Lessons learned:
1. Never give a drunk person your keys for any reason, i don't care if he or she claims to have a carton of cigs in the car, or a screaming baby: JUST SAY NO.

2. Young Couples that are cool and non possessive about each other and don't care who they dance with Kick ass.

3. Everyone thinks i'm a guy, and i don't know if i like that.

4. The hip-hop room at MJQ smells like balls, gross sweaty balls.

5. The girl at the coat check at MJQ looks like a super cool kick.....but i think i was to drunk, and i'm sure she didn't hear me say that (so if anyone knows her tell to sign on to LaChabenn.com!)

G-d Hates Fags and Homos and queers

I was working at Kennesaw State University in awesome Kennesaw, Georgia when i stumbled across a lovely Anti-Gay protest. G-d does hate Fags and Homos, at least that is what he told this guy and his friends.





Sadly though, i think this is a good portion of the reason that Southern Baptist get such bad wrap...or maybe just one of the many many reasons.

This video is clownshoes.

Everyone knows that if you ARE homophobe, then chances are you're suppressing your own gay tendencies.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't dream of coming close to manwang. But seriously, if you're this bent up over someone else's personal choice then you might as well come out of the closet because nobody cares.

Wow, can you say blindly following? The Bible is a book that states a mixture or possible divine teachings and beliefs of Jewish people thousands of years ago.

Sadly, nothing in the Bible can be taken as athentic. The Bible was written hundreds of years of after Jesus Christ lived and died. Chances are, some of it's made up.
