I was braiding my daughter's hair last night, watching Tales from the Hood (on BET) and this McDonald's commercial comes on. 


I didn't really pay attention to how it started, but when I heard the cashier say, "You want to work here?" and one of the little boys cheerfully replied, "Yeah! I heard the sky is the limit here! My neighbor worked here and now she owns 3 McDonald's!! Plus you guys give out scholarships!" and looked over at his brother and said, "Some day, this will all be ours!"

Okay. Stop it, just fuckin stop the madness. What the kind of goal is that to try and set up for our children? First of all, owning 3 McDonald's would take for fuckin ever. You have a long ass way to go from dropping fries to owning 3 McDonald's restaurants, okay? Second of all, how dare they encourage the youth to make a career out of Mickey D's. Mickey D's?? Come on now. And why have I never seen that commercial on NBC or CBS?? Why did they have to put 2 young Black boys on BET dreaming "big" about working at some fuckin McDonald's? Shame on you golden arches. 


The only thing yall are guaranteed to produce out of an employment opportunity is a Dollar Menunaire because yall don't pay shit. So don't make commercials encouraging our children to aspire for "greatness" at McDonald's, that's pure bullshit. 


"The sky is the limit here!" Really though?


Yeah, I'd like to order a McMuthafuckaPlease with cheese okay?

The over usage of the word "Ghetto"

I am so tired of black people calling everything "ghetto"  It is one of the most overused terms I have ever heard in my life. If two black people are in the market arguing, the first thing that will come out of another black persons mouth is "they are so ghetto". Two white people in the market arguing those same black people would probably say "they were arguing"  Stop referring to anything negative as being "ghetto" as if we don't have enough negative things affiliated with the inner city. If black people talk in slang, what will another black person say ? "listen at them, talking all ghetto" a white person using slang "their grammar is horrible"  Their is no "acting ghetto" you are either ignorant or you have manners. Being ignorant is not "ghetto" being ignorant is exactly what it is "being ignorant" . So the next time you are ready to let that word roll off of your tongue, think about it before you do. Because the only thing that may actually be "ghetto" is you saying it.

Feel free to comment if you agree or disagree.
