If you are a basketball fan, Christmas was our day. there were FIVE GAMES on in one day. And for the most part, we were able to watch basketball from 9:00am until 9:30pm. And the only game that shouldn’t have been played being the Clippers against the Suns. The Clippers??? Who the hell wants to watch the Clippers? But I digress. the featured game of the day was the Los Angeles Lakers against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lebron against Kobe. Shaq back in Los Angeles. The two teams the league has been trying to wish into the finals. But it wasn’t the game that will be remembered by those who saw it. It is the fan revolt. Laker’s fans, used to getting BULLSHIT CALLS, especially at HOME, were mad because the refs let them play. And to show their displeasure, they threw the five-away foam fingers and some water bottles onto the floor . But what seems to have been missed in all of this is the FACT that the picture on the fingers is a GANG SIGN for Los Angeles!
I didn’t really look at the fingers as they were raining down from the stands. I was just GITTY that the Lakers were getting DEALT WITH, at HOME, on CHRISTMAS, for ALL THE WORLD TO SEE. It was a day later, after seeing the picture did I see the Gang Sign on the foam fingers. Here is a picture of the sign. The first picture is the original picture. The second picture turns to foam finger “right side up” so you can see EXACTLY what I am talking about. And here is the proof that this is an OLD SCHOOL gang sign for Los Angeles.

I don’t know if this was a new promotion or what. What I do know, after working with at-risk gang members for over 5 years, is what the different gang signs mean. And that includes gang signs that are local, statewide, or national. And the the picture on the foam fingers passed out to thousands of fans, was indeed a gang sign!
I’d love to know what the thought process was in deciding to try and pass off a gang sign in a Los Angeles Lakers game promotion. And I would love to know which person, who surely didn’t create the hand sign themselves, decided to promote the Lakers as a gang. Either way, the past can’t be changed. And the fact remains, the Lakers got DEALT WITH on Christmas and the Promotion that had a gang sign on it went terrible wrong!

To put it bluntly, I’m sick of hearing or seeing Chris Brown. He’s a BITCH and a COWARD. And now he has the AUDACITY to complain about Rhianna going on 20/20 and talking about the night he BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HER ! It is OBVIOUS that he still hasn’t learned a DAMN THING from this incident and still thinks the world revolves around him. It is OBVIOUS he hasn’t learned a DAMN THING from the Domestic Abuse classes he is supposed to be taking. It is OBVIOUS the so called “spiritual advise he is going to seek” isn’t helping one bit! And it is even MORE OBVIOUS that he is still an abuser. Because by saying that the “incident should stay between us“, he is using the same language and exhibiting the same behavior as an abuser.
Hey, I understand that people make mistakes. And I understand that everyone should be given a second chance. But that chance is only given when that person is TRULY SORRY. I have yet to see any real remorse in any interview he has done. He always looks like the “class nerd” whose lab experiment went ACCIDENTALLY wrong. Like the kid in class who had a “bad idea” and says he will never do it again. All the while, he has his fingers crossed behind his back. He sounds like Eddie Haskell from the “Leave it to Beaver show” talking to Mrs. Cleaver and telling her “what a pretty dress she has on.” Even when he is giving her praise, you always think there is “something under his sleeve! Almost every word looks like he has been standing in front of a mirror saying it over and over again. Practicing the right inflection in his voice. The right pause or eyebrow raise. All those interviews seem to happen to try and rehabilitate his reputation. And not what is should be. To take full ownership of what he has done!
And now he is saying what happened that night should stay between him and Rhianna. WHY? So HE won’t look bad? So he can get his “life back?” And his donation of concert proceeds to Domestic Abuse Centers seems hollow and another way to make himself look good. If he wouldn’t have put his hands on Rhianna in the first place, none of his problems would have happened. He is almost trying to make it sound like HE is the VICTIM! But it isn’t working.

I’m still shocked that Michael Jackson is dead. It doesn’t seem possible. And when I see the footage of him dancing, literally hours before he died, it seems like a bad dream. And seeing the people come out of the woodworks to try and make money either from his estate of off of him is appalling. Add to that list Joe Jackson. Yup, Michael Jackson’s father Joe, is seeking upwards of $20,000.00 from the estate for “living expenses.” His rationale is that since Katherine Jackson is getting money, he should too! I guess he is trying to get nominated for “Father of the Year” again!
It stands to reason that if Michael wanted his father to have some money, it would have been put in the will. IT WASN’T! So for Joe to now seek money is disgusting. Are we all to think that Michael not including his father in the will was an accident? Are we to believe that Mike forgot that he had a father? Both Michael and Janet have both said that Joe was abusive to Michael. Does Joe think Michael has forgotten that? Does any parent think that a child forgets the person who abused him?
Joe needs to do what millions of senior citizens do. Go collect Social Security and live off of that. He received millions of dollars off of his children. If he wasn’t smart enough to keep some of it for a “rainy day“, so be it. But he shouldn’t collect one thin dime from Michael’s estate. The money that Katherine is getting from Michael’s estate if for the care of his children.
The gravy train unfortunately is gone Joe. And your ticket has expired. Get a job!
