Peep this video of a woman going monkey food on a Marta train in Atlanta...
I'm not going to act like I didn't laugh...I did. Hysterically as I talked to one of my best friends about it, and read the lyrics that are displayed on the same page as the video.
But then my laughter ceased as I looked upon the ignorance below the video in the comment section and saw what did NOT surprise me...
"Another prime example of a typical black person. Full of disrespect, making a fool of themselves, repeating over and over even though no one wants to hear it, and the feeling they can do whatever they want.
Black people should feel ashamed at this example of a black person.
I was gonna vote for Obama but after seeing this vid I"m convinced putting a black man in office is a very BAD idea!"
Of course there were other comments about the INDIVIDUAL who commited the act, you know- the PERSON, not the whole race from which they are- from people who have sense, and those who think OUTSIDE of their little box- literally.
"They get enveloped by the vision teller
The television tells them their vision
That's why it's hard for them to make decsisions..."-- Andre 3000 (30 something remix)
I feel so sorry for people who continue to watch TV and YouTube and pull their perceptions of people from there.
My advice to them: step outside and LOOK at people. LEARN People. Get to KNOW people instead of stereotyping and holding onto these stupid stereotypes for dear life...
Do I feel ashamed of this "black person" acting a fool on the train? Yes, indeed I do- but, is this woman related to me? Have I ever seen her in my life? Have I ever held a conversation with her? No, so why in hell should she be a reflection of me, or the whole entire black race? Why should she be a reflection of Barack Obama- of all people? Has he ever even been in contact with this woman?
A video of somebody who has nothing to dow ith him will trow off your vote? If so, people like you shouldn't be voting anyway. I guess that's how Bush got in, and stayed in office. **comedic drumroll**
So I guess beacuse I saw footage of white people hanging blacks, I should automatically think every white person carries extra rope in the trunks of their cars, huh?
Because I see an Asian woman in the nail shop on a sitcom, that means that every Asian in the world knows how to do nails, huh?
Because I see a movie about a Mexican gang, I should think every mexican man on Earth is a Westside Loco, hm?
Because I see a blonde girl in a porno, ALL white blondes can have great sex?
And last but not least, because I see footage of a black woman going nuts on a Marta train, I should believe every black woman, no- black person on this planet is capable of doing the same, right?
Shoot, maybe I'm wrong for not thinking the way I do...
Maybe I should get with the program.
A pet peeve of mine is ignorance.
Nuff said.
But on a side note...is Hip Hop to blame?
Almost everything she said had a reference to hip hop...
hmmm...
Peace & Blessings

LU LU this is so funny but i also stopped laughing when i read the comments. It funny how u put all my comments and thoughts about this particular incident into words and you hit it right on the head. I think it is dumb that somebody would even make a reference to Obama because of this. If it would have been a white female acting like that, would they have made a reference to Hillary? Its a shame how people can be catergorized into these little boxes so when somebody does something outside of that little stigman its considered an achievement or miracle. The world still has plenty of growing up to do? Oh and another thing at the beginning did she tell jeezy to come assasinate george bush and was somebody yelling with her when she was singin soulja boi??
