Thrice Wise Random Rants
To Occupy Wall Street and Mainstream (read: White) America,
While I've been amused by the fact that whites believe this level of brutality is something new and unprecedented, on behalf of black folks, Latinos, Asians Arabs, and other people of color, I would just like to point out that police brutality is what we call, BUSINESS AS USUAL. And while I've enjoyed an unhealthy dose of schadenfreude watching white folks catch beatdowns from the po-pos, I think it's long past to drop some nuggets of truth and common sense.
Police brutality/corruption against peaceful law-abiding citizens has been a phenomenon which has been going on in this country....well since its inception, only when we've spoken out on it, we just get accused of playing the race card.
What do you think was happening during the Civil Rights movement or the Stonewall Riots? This is what it means to be a marginalized person in America. This is what happens when you take a stand against institutional oppression and decide to buck the system. And the fact that many (if not most of you) are shocked that this is happening screams volumes of privilege, entitlement, cluelessness and ignorance.
It also means that you have absolutely no idea what you're doing. You say you want to start a revolution, LEARN YOUR HISTORY!!!!!
Also, my girl Monica Roberts raises an excellent point.

And I need to get this off my chest. I normally don't follow celebrity gossip but this shit I couldn't let slide.
Dear Twitter, Also, Twitter, I'm gonna need you to stop recommending me Ashton Kutcher. Adultery and hurting a spouse is a dick move in itself, but any idiot who hits the lottery and the holy grail of boss chicks like Demi Moore and manages to fuck that up, deserves to be castrated.
How in the hell are you gonna cheat on Demi Moore? The fuck is wrong with you? You just violated one of the cardinal rules of the Bro Code and Man Law.
Article 2 Section 12 clearly states that if you happen to land the baddest chick in the game, your entire existence from here on out is to worship that goddess and to keep her satisfied, BECAUSE SHE IS CLEARLY WAY OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE!
Apparently Ashton didn't get the memo. He was just the jumpoff and boytoy to keep Moore entertained. She was doing him a favor. We were happy for Kutcher because again he captured the attentions of a goddess who IS CLEARLY OUT OF HIS LEAGUE! She's so far out of his league, she's in a completely different sport.
Case in point: Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. She fucking owned that role. And you know you're a badass when you can go tit for tat with Cameron Diaz in a bikini.
Beautiful, powerful, intelligent, if a goddess like Demi Moore can't keep you satisfied, you needs to hang it up and sitcho ass down.
Kutcher you got off easy. See a lot of people, would've gone G.I. Jane/Madison Lee on that Kelso Punk'd ass. And assuming there was anything left, Bruce would've been on speed dial and Big Daddy would've been getting called to come over and regulate.
And that goes for you too Eric Benet. Oh yes, I know it's been some years, I'm still pissed about that shit. How do you cheat on Halle Berry? WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU IS?!!!!!
Men, they're only good for one thing and most of the time they can't even rise to the occassion to do that much.

Dear ladies,
If your fiance reveals to you the night before your wedding that he's a "former" serial killer* and he plans to take you to an undisclosed island for the honeymoon. The same fiance who used to break into your house regularly to watch you sleep and has sabotaged your truck, these might be red flags for you to RUN AWAY VERY FAST!
Yes Bella Swan, I'M TALKING TO YOU!!!!
*Also I'm calling bullshit on the killing of serial killer backstory. All of the men Cullen "sucked off" just happened to be extremely good looking and not even counting the horror/sexual analagous homoerotic subtext. I don't think there was any actual killing going on. I think these were ex male lovers that Cullen was confessing to Bella. I'm gonna say this is the movie's way of saying/not saying that Cullen is on the down low. Nah, Cullen is too desperate to be queer. His degree of batshit crazy is completely some cis straight whiteboy shit. We was probably just experimenting. Yep that makes sense.
