Let's start with the obvious one: Paula Deen's meltdown. Even people like Charlie Sheen and Michael Richards are watching this woman plummet to the earth and thinking that maybe now might be the best time to just shut up about the whole thing. I swear every time she opens her mouth, another sponsor is horrified by what comes out of her mouth and drops her. After the freefall of sponsors over the last few days, Kmart, Sears and Walgreens joined in and dropped her products as well. Only her books and restaurants seem to be doing okay meaning people in this country are too dumb to know when someone is laughing at them not with, which is exactly what Paula Deen has been doing for years.
I am very adept at reading people and I am rarely wrong anymore about what kind of person someone is. Most likely I developed this method after getting screwed over and over by people I trusted who always inevitably stabbed me in the back. I came to realize certain traits that liars project, also called micro-expressions, and now I am human lie detector. But facial and body language is even less obvious than what someone says which can tell you everything. Paula Deen exposed herself for the fraud she is when she gave an interview to Matt Lauer this week and actually said this "I is what I is and I'm not changing." Anyone else see the problem with that statement?
First off, anyone who says "I is what is," should be punched for bad grammar alone. Why does she sound like Popeye? Who talks like that ever even in the south? But then check out the rest of the statement "and I'm not changing." People rarely mix grammatical errors so she should have either said "and I is not changing," or "I ain't changing." However she used am instead of is. Why? If you know the correct way of speaking is am rather than is, why is it in the beginning of the sentence and then used correctly later. You wouldn't as no one talks that way except for someone like Deen who I suspect is putting on an act. I am certain that the grandmother, Southern belle attitude she projects is a lie and she is a lot more shrewd than she is letting on. In other words, she's pretending to be this stereotypical Southern redneck, when she is probably more Donald Trump. And the rubes are eating it up. I always found it fake and recent events suggest I may be right and I truly believe she is a lot more racist than she is letting on. Her depositions and subsequent interviews suggests her views toward black people are not as nice as everyone thinks. Be warned.
And then there is the George Zimmerman trial which isn't going well at all for the prosecution. I said months ago, the evidence they had was weak at best and trying to prove second degree murder was going to be near impossible. Had they gone for manslaughter like they should have, a conviction would have been far more likely. So far, the witnesses for the prosecution have been terrible, with most confirming Zimmerman's take of events. The ones that have said otherwise, such a neighbor and a very unfortunate Precious looking black teen who is caught in the crossfire, have both been discredited by a solid defense attorney. The one neighbor barely saw anything and was eviscerated when her description of Martin was way off. Her version said Martin looked like his picture on the TV which we found out later was years old and in no way what Martin looked like at the time suggesting she really didn't see anything and made the whole thing up. However, the other witnesses have all said they saw Martin on top of Zimmerman, effectively destroying the prosecutions case so far. It's been a sad spectacle.
But Rachel Samara, the friend of Trayvon Martin, has been getting a raw deal from all sides when she was being questioned. A letter she wrote turned out to be written by someone else, and not revealed as such earlier, when the defense asked her to read the letter in court. She couldn't read cursive it turns out, something happening more and more in schools today. The letter was ripped apart as a sanitized version that left out key statements she had made earlier that did not paint Martin in a good light. He said things like "a creepy ass cracker was following him," and "nigga," none of which make Martin sound like a good kid but a dangerous thug with a hatred for white people, something his social media posts also suggest. Why is it black people go nuts when the N-word gets used, but shrug off the use of cracker and honky. I hate to break it you, but that's racist too. Just because you are black, doesn't mean you are immune to racism and the fact that this view is rampant in black communities is horrifying. If we don't stop labeling one another and start building an intelligent conversation on this matter, nothing is ever going to change and black people are never going to get out of the rotten neighborhoods they have been abandoned in.
Much has been made over why Samara didn't call the police. As someone who has had awful experiences with police departments, I wouldn't call the cops unless my life depended on it and even then I might give pause. Samara is no different. When you have bad experience after bad experience with police, and the black community is up their eyeballs in that, you would never call the cops. This is white people living in ivory towers wondering why the peasants are revolting. They live in two worlds and this trial is demonstrating that to a tee.
When this is all done, Zimmerman is going to walk on the most serious charges with a chance that some lesser ones might stick but know that either way, black people are going to riot when he is cleared. They won't see this as justice because it didn't go their way, but the way the case is going Zimmerman is going to be a free man. And how non-racist will black people be then? Will they escalate things to a race war or burn their own neighborhoods down again? I'm hoping neither and that cooler heads prevail. White people are not your enemy. Rich people are. And until we combine our forces together to stop them from enslaving us all, we will continue to kill one another as the elites watch and laugh.
