Random Thoughts 11:44 pm.

Krayzie Bone can sing along "murda" to any melody and still sound good. 

LA had a higher murder rate and more murders than Chicago at one point. They went from a rate of over thirty, down to five. I wonder have they made reforms in their gang structures that could be used to mentor the rest of the country? 

The West side of Chicago go out they way to show you they Black.  

The South, the South South, got a different type of power (as most evident in their Southern Hospitality ). 

Note: I like to envision apocalyptic scenarios for fun.  Here we go:

What if, *Jeffrey Wright voice*, what if, the Souf matched the North's level of outright meaness? I picture Little Richard as Usman. 

The T-Dot

Toronto is the kind of place where a gangster might bring out a siberian monkey in a cage to yo table for no reason at all. Magenta city vibes. Dubai Oil Money.

Chiquekagough.

 Confession: I have this thesis that Chicago has the meanest people in the World. It's like we take a joy in ruining fun. You try to do something fun in this city and here comes the gangs, and not just the ones on the street. 

Tribal warfare. The Police of all vice. Even our gangs have religious connotations, Hebrews Vs Moors, with wars on the Gaza Strip (actual nickname for a street, actual event). We got Vice Lords in the Holy City. 

Visit a tourist spot in a family friendly area and there's pictures idolizing an actual de-facto Chicago King, Al Capone, who behaved like O-Dog from Menace 2 Society. I think there's some weird Capone curse on our Police department. The Police are known to be sarcastic assholes anywhere you go, (that's par for the course), but in Chicago there's a joyful vindictiveness to it. They want you to hurt and they're taking joy in it, laughing at it, laughing with it, being corny about it. 

Even the major horror movies Icons of the 80s all have a Chicago connection, look it up. We were founded by a Haitian too. How we know DuSable ain't do no juju on the land? And Barack Obama cut his Political teeth here? Man look. 

Politcal Analysis

 A fundamental analysis of this current American quandary. Much of the current rhetoric I've been hearing that's being willfully promoted is treasonous in it's inception, let alone it's usage. It's some form of "We need to eradicate Americans".

That kind of talk would get you eliminated by a superior, as a matter of safety for your fellow soldiers. Someone like that better pray they get lucky enough to be dishonorably discharged. 

I ain't even in the Military and know this.  

Eradicate Americans? Oh, because they're "______"? It doesn't matter whatever current buzzword is used: "woke", "liberals", "the left", "dems", "republicans", they're still Americans. Infants know better. Some people don't feel like I do though. I guess I'm too conservative, and I stand too hard for right and wrong. One nation, under God right? God is the boss.......right? The laws that govern this country, should align with the laws of God right. Thou shalt not kill? 

Some people don't feel like I do though. The "intelligent" ones. They been in America since America's inception. Still, I feel no need to eradicate them. Why? I'll knock they ass out, and I might not even kick them while they down, however, I'm not in the business of eradication. Sheesh. 

History.

I really don't trust no European history, for all we know, Aristotle could have looked like R.Kelly. You know the Vatican got to have a secret room full of Sphinx noses and historical depictions of people as they looked. 

"If I was the head of the MCU, I would..." brainstorming.

I'd make X-Men as the not so quirky Marvel movie event. Build up Charles Xavier as the greatest threat to Earth's power structure. They didn't really touch on that in the first X-Men. The senate scene wasn't enough. Every organization of any size, from world governments to gangsters would be scared of that nigga. We'll see what they do. They made an amicable attempt of a tone switch, with the Eternals. 

In the more "whimsical" MCU, they could focus on the new-Thanos level threats. Make franchise stars out of the villains. The choice to switch the origin of Namor to South America for Black Panther 2 was brilliant. With that in mind, they could do something high profile, such as Cast Denzel as Memphisto, Tom Hanks as Doom, Johnathan Majors as Kang :rb :doh Hell, they got Elaine from Seinfeld as the new queen of crime or some shit. 

The TV shows have been better than the movies and that ain't good. 

Black Chicago

I'm not an expert in all major cities, but I been to enough and from what I've seen, Chicagoans be the only people that go out they way to "Out-Black" everybody, like it's a competition, good or bad. Obama pimp struttin through the White House, Crucial Conflict up in they video eating pig feet, whatever Kanye West is on....we took over pop culture in the 70s with Blackest culture ever, Curtis Mayfield, Chaka Khan. You can not, not associate Black Chicago with the Black experience in the 70s. Like I said, outblack everybody else. Why don't we just start trying to out White each other?
