Something to Think About
Relevant Ninja DV:
Great story:
When I was a kid I visited my grandmother in Baltimore every summer. I remember on her kitchen wall she had three photographs: Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy and Jackie Robinson. Jackie became a hero of mine by default.
One, we were born on the same day. More importantly, he wasn't just an athlete, he was also a college graduate and an officer in the army, which qualified him in the eyes of my father as a man worthy of admiration.
Today, every February a million or so American kids, black and white alike, dutifully choose Jackie Robinson as the subject of their "Black History Month" project.
One of my sons asked me what was special about Jackie Robinson and if he should do a report on him. I told him "Jackie broke the color barrier in baseball. You know. He was the first black player allowed to play in the Major Leagues."
My son stared back at me blankly ... like ... "and"?
I laughed and tried to relate why the fact that this great baseball player was "allowed" to play in the Major Leagues was a big deal.
My son asked me why did the Brooklyn Dodgers choose Jackie Robinson and how did they know he was a good player if he wasn't allowed to play. I explained that Jackie had become a star in what was called "The Negro Leagues".
My son asked me "What's a Negro League?".
I told him that in the early days of baseball there were several leagues. The American, The National and The Negro leagues were the dominant leagues. After a number of years the American League and the National Leagues merged but they would only allow white players on the teams.
"Did the Negro Leagues have stadiums and stuff?"
Oh yeah man. They had stadiums that were owned and operated by black people. The teams were owned by black men. They had radio broadcasts with black commentators, black agents, black managers, sponsors, the concessions were owned and operated by blacks and they had hundreds of thousands of fans. Even white fans attended the games because it was the best baseball in the world.
"What happened to the Negro League?"
Well, after Jackie Robinson was "allowed" to play in the Major Leagues other black stars followed him and the fans stopped supporting the Negro Leagues and followed their stars to the Major Leagues. Soon the Negro Leagues just faded away.
No disrespect to Jackie because he was a Cool ass brotha. He exemplified all the characteristics of a gentleman. He should be commended and remembered for his strength, courage and allat.

Why Black History Month is Some of That 'Ol Bullshit
Black history month got people thinking Black history begins with slavery.
That's why you always hearing stupidity like: "The first black doctor" "The first black to graduate from college" and "The first black architect" and "the first black writer". The first nigga to die in the war. Straight. Mind. Control. Black people have been doctors, scientists and architects for thousands of years.
The Civil Rights Movement, The media and the education system reduced a nation of people with a deep history in science, mathematics, medicine, religion and government to Kunta Kinte and Harriet Tubman. Fuck Black history month!
What's Black?
Do Plantation Negros and Crackas enforce the most ghetto misconceptions of the black experience?
You've heard muffugahs say this shit "There exists a bias against black. A preference for white. Skin whitening creams and products that straighten hair are PROOF that there is a societal role that makes women dissatisfied with their appearance yada yada yawn ..."
My ninja DV says this..Black Africans, Black Indians, Black Pacific Islanders, Black Americans, Black Dominicans, Black Brazilians, Black Asians, Black ... humans beings, have a wide variety of skin color and hair textures.
Black hair texture in fact ranges from coiled to curly to straight. This readily observable truth stands in stark contrast to the core ignorance of the Jigaboo assumption that insists "straight hair" is a characteristic exclusive to "non-black people".
Therefore the meme which insists for example, that a black woman who desires to straighten her hair, no longer desires to be black is invalid. It is as ridiculous as insisting a white woman who tans her skin no longer wishes to be white. No. A black woman who straightens her hair ... simply wants straighter hair.
Jigaboos have internalized a meme conceived externally, that blackness, is derived solely of Africa. The Jigaboo assumes that "authentic" black is somehow limited to the Bantu archetype. The implication is that unless your hair is as nappy as a Soweto barbershop, you're not ... really ... black. Unless you can hold 2 Fifty Cent pieces in your nostrils ... you must be "mixed". The Jigaboo assumption is a byproduct of the great Darwinian hoax that insists, without evidence, that man "came from" Africa. The truth is man is indigenous to the planet. His antediluvian diaspora is evidenced by black aboriginals located around the globe. The so-called "African-American" is actually an amalgamation of all kinds of Blackness.
What a society considers beautiful is merely a meme.
Standards of beauty compete in the open marketplace of ideas. Eventually ideals are produced by the constant contest of extremes. The dark and curly often lighten and straighten. Just as the pale and straight often darken and perm.
Is there a bias against black in society?
Absolutely not.
Blackness is craved.

What Relevant Americans Should Realize. Also Ammunition for the Ignorant
If you happen to run into the assholes who think spreading the wealth is bad for America..perhaps you should spring this idea on that ass. Listen closely.
Bill Maher - Irritable Bowl Syndrome from Fraser Davidson on Vimeo.
Should doctors be locked up just like Tyrone and Lil Serv'em Up
You gotta note that there were absolutely no illegal drugs were found in her room. Whitney Houston struggled with the yay and whatnot in the past, but they were not involved in her death at all apparently. So my question is how could Whit Whit be gone off the the yay, Chron and Patron for 20 or so years but the minute Dr. So And muffukin So serves Ms. Houston up then the Legendary Diva got holla at ST. Peter. I may fucks wit a bit of herb from time to time and I may get's my Farmer's Market Kabuki Happy hour on but Relevant Ninja will not fux wit the Pharmaceudicals. I suggest you all don't either. Bang
Check Out Relevant Ninjette Queen Hussy
If you haven't learned of Queen Hussy you might need to check baby bop and nem out. I think they have a good concept as well that can certainly grow with time. This is the 3rd episode. So if you haven't seen it. Check out the first episode first. Enjoy!
Relevant Video by Ra Cinematic and Philly Swain
I just think the concept and video is done well. Check it out until the end. I happened to check it on VladTv but I think it's deep. Reminds of back in the day with a relevant twist.
Who's Iller Lil Wayne or Langston Hughes?
President Carter
President Carter
President Carter…
Sitting on the world, I got life in my hand
So these days I try to think twice when I can
Money on my mind as God as my witness
Love don’t live here and it don’t even visit
I do this for my uptown politicians
Walked in the kitchen and found a pot to piss in
Niggas ain’t satisfied until they mama missin’
Niggas ain’t satisfied until they mama miss ‘em
Uh, I’m a monster, exorcisms
Tote tools like mechanics, mechanisms
Uh, detrimental on any instrumental
I say you rappers sweet I pay the incidentals
I’m beneficial, I’ve been official
I say you rappers sweet, tiramisu
I like my short cake shorter
Ain’t no mother f-cker harder than (Carter)
Nobody gives you a chance, you gotta take chances
Your family tree, I will break branches
Cause I don’t give a f-ck, I put the ass in assassin
Smoke you like a blunt then it’s ashes to ashes
The future is born, put the past in the casket
If real shit is dead then nigga I’m a bastard
Uh, appetite for disaster
I want a full plate then another plate after
Uh, yesterday just died
Tomorrow never cried, the days of our lives
When shit get deep I’m never afraid to dive
Let the money pile up and until I’m buried alive
Ask who the f-ck want it, I bring it to your doorbell
Have niggas in ya yard like a yard sale
Smoking weed, getting head in the oval office
I changed the stars on the flag into crosses
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
What's history going to record. Relevant Ninja knows. Do you?
Relevant Ninja Gerald Lawson
Listen Ninjas and Ninjettes you may not be about shit if you don't know who the inventor of the modern game console is. He is a Ninja by the name of Gerald Lawson. This muffugah was a straight up game changer figuratively and literally. Literally by being the first man to create the first interchangeable video cartridge. Lawson was the sole Black member of the Homebrew computer club strictly because he was the innovator behind the whole concept of interactive gameplay. Now whether white Black yellow or red we know how history will be altered but at least at Relevant Ninja you can get the real deal. I'd also like to shout out the people who stay coming to Relevant Ninja to get their nourishment even though I haven't posted in ages. But I assure you that I won't take a hiatus that long again. Bang letgetit!
