No more post here for a while.

I won't be posting here for a while because the response to this has been so positive that I am turning so many ideas into a comedy screenplay. My apologies but you will soon be able to buy my comedy....

Stripper Tats....

You seen 'em every where you ain't wanna see 'em on a sista's lower back on a sista's neck. In the mall, the store, across the street. It ain't funny, even if it is. Asian characters, lines like lattice railings with Asian characters. My Good God do we get 'em like a crack head loves to walk....

It makes no sense. Ain't no way sista named Ecstasy know what the hell it means.


I wanna say Ebony, Sky, Ebony Sky, Obsession, Diamond or whatever else ain't on your birth certificate that you call yo' self while you get paper gyrating for a fool who should be home being a man for a woman or some variation of an adult who should be home practicing discretion and learning to become a valuable piece in this war game on African America....I mean Panther, Lady Ice, Icey Hoe or what ever do you know what the hell that shiiii you got on your body means?

It means sexy.
It mean sex.
It mean gambler.
It mean beautiful.
It mean foxy.
It mean rich.
It mean get paper.
It means success.
It means hit this sh.....

Let me tell you what it could mean. It could mean look at this idiot Nigga. It could mean this idiot thinks this shiiii is flattering. It could mean this idiot is a stripper hoe.

These tats come out of a graphic book. I don't know where the graphics come from I don't know the source. But at some point it had to be someone who knew Asian culture. And some point since Asian characters became the province of stripper culture, it could have been modified....by....someone who knew Asian culture and the fact that it was more than likely gonna go on a hoe's....

And we all know that second to the white man this Asian man treats us like....well like a hoe and worse. Right. I mean their stereotypes of the black are ingrained in their culture. We've had enough run ins to know right? I mean right? wouldn't be just like they elitist selves to be playing a joke on our stripper sistas and their idiot brothers?

I can feel some ire about the word hoe, as if the existence of the word or my using it made these sistas turn their backs on good jobs with benefits at Walmart. At Kinkos. At FoodLion. At CVS. At any national chain.

Please I mean what do you want me to call them? President's consorts who mistakenly call the President their husband during a media interview. They might be. But only might. But they are definitely makin' money shakin' that...Or usin' that, or have a point of view like dat which would of course make that tattoo attractive because it's very popular.

These women have accepted their objectification. They no longer hide what must be between consenting adults using discretion and have made it the object of paying adults. And if they are not there yet they are about to be and that is sad. Not funny. Like a crack head loves to walk.

But oh so funny like a crack head loves to walk.

Namean?

I mean who in dee hell would put a permanent mark on their body which they were not 100 percent sure of its meaning?!!!! Except someone who has accepted their oppression, except someone motivated by a dysfunctional view of the world which has caused low self esteem? And only the progeny of the first Africans born enslaved fit the bill en masse.


C'mon sista, he told me it meant beautiful brown eyes?

Huh? The brother was already thinkin' about enjoying your payment for the tat and didn't care what the hell he put up there. I know tat artists and trust me, they're mostly male,barely got a high school degree and these types of women don't pay them for most of the tats and if they do, it's cut rate, if at all--The barter system conducted in the back seat may be alive and well more than you know....

They don't know what it means. Neither the artist nor the wearer.

See I've got three. I know exactly what they all mean. They stem from Kamitic spirituality. I've got the sun and two cobras--a blown up glyph taken right from Kamitic text which means protection of the life force. A Djed on my left chest over my heart which means stability or properly said the lack of emotional behavior which leads to instability and all the problems which come from it. The Hetep bar on my left shoulder which symbolizes the great successful achievements in life which can arise from the mastery of unshakable inner peace.

And not only are they simply there. They are not decoration. They serve as so called tribal art has always in traditional spiritual systems. They communicate with the spirit. If I am failing in any one of those major areas or about to be tested within them, the area of the flesh stings--burns, becomes cool etc. Lets say my anger is rising, then my chest, yes my heart area becomes cold I feel it rising and shooting down to cool my body and my "hot" head. But all of this works because I work the system daily in mediation and prayers....

These are the secrets behind traditional spiritual body imaging....

Not a butter fly with the Asian character calling to another to pull up and pay up or to look like you are calling for such an act. And it ain't so you could look like a bad motha....sports star athletes and brothers.

Know thyself.
Love thyself.
Live thyself.
Like a crackhead loves to walk instead of what we doin' now.

***Blogger's note: I found this picture of this sista on the web after writing this blog. Note the Asian character on the shoulder to your left and the lattice on the lower back. She needs to focus the energy within her that leads to her allowing her spirit to interact in the world on this level. She needs to sublimate the energies which she allows to over take her will and let her self get these tats and be photographed like this and put it on the web. God only knows what this Het-Heru energy is doing to her in her life. And note the butterfly...Make me do the butterfly butterfly. I do not know her, but love her as I do all Black Folk and at some time we must hold ourselves accountable toward that end pass it on, stop the stripper tats and Asian lines now!!!! But knowing us we won't until there's a march where there will be press, or a press conference--just say no to nigga? WTF!! No jes say no to stripper tats.And no she wasn't the sole inspiration for the blog. It only seems that way because there are so many sistas with this combination it is truly incredible. Truly incredible. And usually the butterfly is the third tat.)
