Dumbing Down to Sell My Intelligence
I am the magical negro.
No I’m not. In fact, I may fight the next person who tries
me up like that.
I am, however, very likely the smartest person you have ever
met. I’m not bragging. I’m just repeating what I often hear and have heard
since I left Brentwood. (Does that mean I’ve been associating myself with
dumber and dumber people?) I hope that’s
not so because I have to make some changes.
Being a helpful person AND so intelligent, the greedy and
selfish are always lurking as well as the lazy and dreamless. I’m just tired.
Now that I am absolutely certain I can’t help everyone nor can I work with
everyone, I must avoid the users at all
costs.
It’s time. This shit is getting out of hand. I am officially
no longer concerned with anyone’s insecurities about dealing with me. ANYONE. I
dimmed my lights for far too long to make people comfortable and they (All of
them) STILL have to get their shit together. I’ve spilled out million dollar
ideas and blessed people with the tools to create wealth. I’ve even slaved
myself to build other people’s dreams. The results? Nothing. No success for
anyone involved. The greedy just ask for more. The selfish are still asking why
their shit doesn’t work. The lazy are still waiting on someone to carry them.
And I’m tired and beat.
People think my help is magic. It’s not. They imagine I’m a
genie they just rub the right way and blessings just fall out my ass. 

When I could building you yachts, you wanna floss at Burger
King. And I only chose that picture because that guy is supposed to be the
latest “magical negro”. But, like I stated in the last Burger
King Blog, it’s Burger King. If those are all the dreams you have, you need
to just step aside. My dreams will use your dreams as a tax write off. If you
have bigger dreams and you refuse to take any steps towards them, you need to
Get The Fuck Out of the Way. I can eat your dreams and shit out dreams bigger
than anything you can imagine.
All that is to say - I am disappointed in quite a few
people. And because I have been blessed with many brilliant alternatives, I
mean, I have so many new acquaintances, mentors and inspirations; I must shoot
some people to the curb.
So! New Rules:
I will
not work with you without a vision. You and your ‘business’ must have a
missions statement for me to even talk to you about life.
I am
not a secretary. I am a writer. I write. You want a letter, resume, some shit
typed up/edited; hire a typist. I might actually do those things but not for
free and you can’t afford me.
I am
willing and prepared to do some free work to establish myself. That does not
mean I want to be involved in your slavery ring.
If you
don’t have your shit together, be prepared to pay. My advice is find someone else.
I charge extra for doing extra and you can’t afford me.
I am in
love with networking, working online and home businesses. That does not mean I
want to sign up to sell off brand coffee. The only businesses I am interested
in that aren’t mine are Amway, Herbalife, and Traverus. I will not commit my
time to anything else. Quit trying to sell me on ‘no selling’. GTFOH
If you
want to know what I know, go back to elementary school Billy Madison.
I suggest
Brentwood Science Magnet. It worked well for me. If you are my age and failed
to learn what I have learned, what makes your dumb ass think I can tell you
what I know in five minutes? I probably couldn’t teach you if I had the rest of
your life.

You cannot have a dime from me. Today, I don’t even have a
dime to give but it’s coming. I’ve seen what you do with money. Financially,
most of you need to be wearing helmets on the short bus and get lunch tickets.
No allowance. No lunch money. That’s all
IF (IF
IF IF) I work with you, Shut The Fuck Up! Whatever you have been doing for the
last whatever days/months/years is stupid. If it was smart, I would be working
FOR you. Or, you wouldn’t need me at all. There is no nicer way to say this.
Believe me, I have tried millions (TRILLIONS) of variations. [I’m exaggerating.
It was more like thousands]Trying to use my intelligence to fix your dumb ideas
is like putting a mango salsa on rotten steak. That shit don’t match and it’s too late
anyway. Just take this recipe and eat up.
Just be honest. I know you’re a moron. But I’m still talking
to you. You didn’t succeed in fooling me into believing you are on my level.
You’re just wasting your own time. I’m, at least, getting a little laugh at you
pretending to know things. Just tell me
what you want and I will tell you how I can help you get there. Sound simple?
It is. That’s why I do the thinking
I may seem vain or mean. But so what? How inconsiderate is
it to ask me to dumb down my intelligence for your cockamamie schemes? How
retarded is it to spend time chasing thousand dollar dreams that have failed
already when I have million dollar plans in my trash can? Just take one and run
with it.
I must apologize. I just came up with this quote that I’m
going to use again later this week for an entirely different subject. Michael
Jordan doesn’t play pickup games. I may have misled a few people by even
considering doing something like that. For that, I apologize. But know I won’t
be getting involved in amateur hour.
That’s it. I still Love. I’m still generous. I just had to
put some things out in the open so that people understand (If they care to
know) why I can’t work with them and so future people know right off the bat
how to approach me.
For the most part, people don’t have to worry. I won’t be
around long enough to concern anyone. Like I said before, I am being blessed to
get back into circles of intelligence. That means less time slumming it. It was
fun. I had some good times, a lot of laughs and a ton of stories to tell. I’ll
leave behind some instructions. If you ever bother to learn how to read, maybe
I’ll see you again on the other side of success.
It’s bed time. Goodnight all. Goodbye some…

New Letter To My Probation Officer
I am
writing instead of calling to inform you that I will not be returning to
Georgia. I have made many attempts to explain the danger I expect having to
return to Georgia. Since I am much clearer in writing, let me be straight.
I am not
a criminal. I was too wide open in Georgia and involved with criminal elements.
Although I did not plan to move to Los Angeles in this manner, I am grateful to
be away from the criminal elements I was associated with. I must take offense
at any suggestions that I “live on the streets” just to be within the law.
There are MORE criminals on the streets. To make such a suggestion implies that
there is no concern for my safety or rehabilitation. I don’t know what the
priority is in that office but it is not growth or improvement.
I know I
agreed to return to Georgia, after much urging and over-talking from Supervisor
Fowler. After our most recent conversation (as soon as I hung the phone) I
realized that we were talking about two pieces of paper. Mr. Fowler suggested
he could fill out a warrant for my arrest if I failed to return. I am asking
for a transfer form to be completed. The question of why this office seems to
prefer one over the other keeps playing over and over in my mind.
I am not
running. I am cooperating to the best of my ability. I will continue to call or
email at regular intervals. I continue to live at 4150 w 60th
street, Los Angeles CA 90043. My phone numbers are 323-293-7555 and
323-710-7428. I am still looking for a stable income. I am truly a law abiding
citizen. Please allow me to remain so.
I
appreciate you reading this. If I do not hear from you in the next month, I
will call.
Sincerely,
Jason
Sloan

The Straw That Broke The Camel's Back (And got me back writing...)
I’ve had it!
With all the incessant Trayvonn Martin coverage, the
ridiculous hoodie marches to nowhere to achieve nothing, I’m already at my
limit. Then every “Black writer” wants to add their own “individual” injustice
to the mix. After three weeks of incessant blogs, and post, and status updates
and tweets, I have to ask myself “what is the purpose?”
For all things there is a purpose. There is a lesson to be learned. There is an
opportunity for growth. Where is it? Are we STILL marching? Where the hell are
we going? We’ve been marching for 56 years and we’re still in Selma. That’s not
progress. What all this is telling me is that people died for nothing. And it’s
OUR fault! It’s not anyone else. US!


Look in the mirror! That’s you being a douche-bag.
Which brings me to the straw that broke the camel’s back. Thembisa
S. Mshaka
Absolutely nothing wrong with the lady except for the way
she came to my attention…
unacceptable. #AdFail? How about journalistic failure? This lady wrote The Book on the entertainment industry! And maybe that’s why I shouldn’t expect much leadership. It’s so much easier to jump on the victim bandwagon, than it is to create a new trend or just simply to tell the truth.

Let me break it down in similar fashion to Miss Mshaka since
she provided the blue print for success…
This is 5 ways in which black people need to stop crying
about a Burger King ad:
1.
Just because you know how to place the words:
rude, terse and invasive together doesn’t mean it’s true. Jay Leno drove a car
through a restaurant and ignored the same manager when he suggested the drive
through. Salma Hayek took over the “line up”. (Learn Spanish!) And no one paid
for their food.
If we’re going to cry injustice, let there be one. Next week Mary will be a Diva again and it will be OK to interrupt people.
If we’re going to cry injustice, let there be one. Next week Mary will be a Diva again and it will be OK to interrupt people.
2.
EVERYTHING at Burger King is Unhealthy even the
sugar salad. If the insinuation is that black people will only buy the snack
wrap because that’s the item Mary featured, GTFOH! Healthy people know better.
Adults know better. I will even venture to say middle schoolers know better. Don’t try to sell that ‘black
item/white item’ shit over here. I ain’t buying it and, as a responsible
citizen and (dare I say) leader, I won’t anyone around me buy it either.
And for the unhealthy, let them eat chicken without feeling like they are fulfilling a stereotype. I’ve been around black people who are scared to eat chicken in public. It’s uncomfortable for me and I don’t give a care. I’ll eat chicken in a “white” restaurant in white linen on a white carpet off a white woman if I’m hungry enough. (White women, take it easy. I’m just making a point)

I’m just making a point)
3.
Salma Hayek gets to act because she’s and
actress who’s been acting longer than Mary’s been singing. Jay Leno is a
comedian, he gets to be funny. AND he buys three items because he has a guest.
And the guest holds the tray because Jay Leno is driving. You drive and hold
the tray with your proud ass! And David Beckham is, surprise surprise, an
underwear model in addition to being a soccer player. He probably didn’t play
soccer because he’s over the hill and only in America to sell his image because
that’s what models do. And Mary sings. So – The – Fuck – What! Looks like
everyone involved is showcasing the talent that got them paid $2 million dollars
for a 30 second ad
Magical negro please…
Magical negro please…

4.
I’m sure if I wrote down everything I said, I
could find where I predicted Mary would be doing Burger King Commercials. Once
you sell out aka start getting paid for being famous, there are no limits.
While I’ll admit Beyonce’ and Queen Latifah may not have done the Burger king
commercials, they also wouldn’t have done Carol’s Daughter, Chevy, or T-Mobile.
So? And Lauryn Hill? She won’t take money from anybody to do anything since
1998. The key is, someone has to do it. And both Beyonce’ and Queen Latifah
have looked ridiculous for 30 seconds. It’s a commercial. They get paid to pretend
they patronize these companies so the sheep will flock.
5.
Last but not least, Mary J Blige has been
looking crazy and inspiring ghetto girls to embarrass themselves in public for
two decades. THIS
is just as crazy a look as this:
Neither are high fashion, both are classic Mary. What she does do is inspire people to be risk takers.

is just as crazy a look as this:

Neither are high fashion, both are classic Mary. What she does do is inspire people to be risk takers.
Mary did this for more than 2 million dollars. Mary J Blige
has never had a lane to stay in. Don’t ever expect her to do so. And for God’s
sake, don’t try to put her in one. You want to briefly mention the poor sales
of My Life II, will admit it was not because the album was anything less than
phenomenal. IT was a classic collaboration and a welcome reprieve from the
constant barrage of subpar music we’ve been subjected to in the last few years.
If you wanted to do something besides complain and ride the
cry baby bandwagon, you might want to the little bit of good music that still
gets made. Since no one can get Lauryn Hill to do anything new, Mary is what we
got and I thank God for her. At least she still got to keep her check (I
hope!).
And, by the way, I expect an industry insider to not mislead people. At twenty years in the game, the only person with less time out of the stars Burger King chose was an athlete. Athletes are lucky to make it 15 years let alone twenty. So while Mary may be a vet in a young genre, she’s got a way to go. Chaka Khan and Aretha Franklin are still performing. If you’re going to keep it real, keep it honest too!

Racism Is Dead
Or it was until niggas
started bringing up old shit…
The tipping point was two of
Newt Gingrich’s comments. It wasn’t exactly him but the reaction to him. First
he suggested children be allowed to work in high school. Then he supported the
killed law in Florida that would drug test welfare recipients.
A lady asked me how I could
not see the racism in those statements. My answer was – I chose not to. I
believe in what Martin Luther King Jr. taught. I believe in the spirit of
Gandhi’s message. I love Africa. I love America. I love Blacks. I love myself.
I do not like African/Black Americans. We are so limiting to ourselves.
Newt called our president
the “Welfare President”. Our tunnel vision is so narrow. Take a look around.
Democrats support welfare. The last time the economy was this bad was when welfare began. The
timing is ideal for a shift in “welfare
as we know it” It’s called Between
The Lines, we might actually consider doing that. Go deeper until you get
inside yourself.
I know there’s no money in
that, but trust me, it’s worth it. Why do we want to continue being common?
Racism! It’s easy. You can
give a passionate monologue and include a big word or two and there you have
it, an intellectual argument for lack. Because it’s something we can sound
smart about and because many writers get paid to promote it, we are excused
from responsibility.
The truth is we’ve
brainwashed ourselves. We put ourselves in the maze (rat-race). We settled for
less than our potential. Hey
Black Adult Do you know you can be what you want to be if you try to be
what you can be? Do you? So why aren’t you? Racism?
We have the ability to achieve whatever it is within our
vision to achieve. There is no limit to what we can do. The problem is not
racism. It’s our vision. We are still fighting for rights we already have
instead of using them to move forward. We want to march when it’s time to
build. We want someone to tell us what to do. We’ve already been told.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” And because of Dr. King, I can say without a doubt or fear of reprisal that his children are all assholes, not because they’re black but because they are assholes. That’s it.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” And because of Dr. King, I can say without a doubt or fear of reprisal that his children are all assholes, not because they’re black but because they are assholes. That’s it.
That, is The Dream! This world we live in where NO ONE
can mention race is a mockery. You better not say Black, nappy, dark, urban,
thug, nigg (don’t even form your lips to say ANY word beginning with the letter
‘n’ not nothing!), retard, welfare, Trayvonn Martin (his only mention),
OJ, The Boondocks… I’m tired of things we can’t say. You better not get upset
at a minority… You think Black people got lynched? Try saying the latest gang
banger/drug dealer killed was anything short of an altar boy. Try it!
Time for some truth. Racism is dead. Racist people are
not. There will always be racist people. They will always say racist things.
Don’t take it personal. The destruction of the Black race was the furthest
thing from the mind of the racist of the hour. The most likely thought was
frustration. Consider the source AND turn YOUR racism off. That racist is
probably more concerned with his/her house note, lack of education, job
pressure, losing a ratings war to Howard Stern, the democrat who is currently
the leader of the free world, failures, fears and scarcity.
Race/Nationality/Sexuality is the easiest excuse on both sides.
Racism is dead for me
because I can take an insult. Learn how to handle insult and racism will die
for you too! That guy called you a stupid nigger, not because you’re Black, but
because you’re stupid. Quit being stupid! I’m not marching for your dumb ass. Nothing personal, I just know how to solve
problems. I can take a stand from my easy chair.
If you don’t want to listen
to me, maybe you’ll listen to an OG.
“To try to fight a pathology that is incapable of being resolved is a
waste of time. You can’t spend your time worrying about a philosophy…It’s
really a philosophical myth…It’s not a reality. It becomes a reality when you
start believing in it and bringing it into fruition your life. In order to
battle racism is not to ignore it per say, but to evolve in a higher form which
makes all of that obsolete. You rise above it.“- Tookie Williams interview

It’s Complicated
I’ve
heard it before. Mostly I’ve seen it online. I’ve been picking up girls/women
online since the late nineties. I can remember the first time I saw “it’s
complicated” as a relationship status. I’ve been wondering since that day
what’s so complicated about relationships.
It’s been quite a while. This week
was the first time I actually sought to find out about it. I got a little more
than I expected. A little.
Below is my request and some
responses:
My name is Jason. I am writing an article on
the "it's complicated" relationship status. Would you be interested
in sharing a little bit about your relationship status? Please. I can and will
keep everything you share anonymous. I just want to talk to real people and
real relationships.
Female 30 GA
·

·

gave up on tryn wit him cuz he says every thing is my fault but whatever on
dat.... i gotta sneak around n do me cuz he likes to trip.. even though he told
me dat he dont want any other guy to have me eather i guess
·
(Does he date openly?) nope not dat i kno of

·

the other
Female 39 Tustin CA
here
is my version of the status....in my mind i am doing the right thing and
walking away from the start of a relationship that i see is really too
complicated on his side. Its a guy that didn't do the right thing
by ending his old relationship before starting with me so of course there is
fallout and not something that i respect on his part. At the end of the
day I am just not feeling the situation either. Ok so thats whats
complicated....lol. I do like the fact that the status keeps the stalkers
away
(So just so I'm clear. You did try to have something with a
guy who was "having trouble becoming unattached", but you gave up.
And now you just leave the status because it's a bit of a filter. Did I get
that right?
But I do also read inside that, you still have some
feelings for this guy. What about that?)
so
far u have everything right....now about the feelings.. I am happier out of it
than in it so its a wrap.
Female 28 Overland Park
KS
I don't have a problem sharing. My relationship is complicated
because my bf is in prison. I haven't fully made the decision if I should stay
or go. I thought complicated was the most acurate description.
Female
33 TX
well my
its complicated is not because im in a relationship.....at least I don't think
im in one anymore....so Im not sure If I can help you out. Im still
legaly married, over a year now...he refuses to divorce me and I don't have the
money to hire a high priced attorney.....we were together for 13 years and even
though I know no one will ever love me as much as he does, or do for me like he
did.....the love is lost.
I have
currently entered a long distance relationship/friendship with someone I went to
high school with but never knew when I was in high school, I would love to be
with him but.....the distance is a big issue, that and the trust issues i have
from my past. Im not prepared to move back home, and although he says will move
here its a big step and im not sure how serious he is
its
over with my husband......with the guy from high school, I would consider it
some kind of relationship
I
guess the hardest part I have with the whole distance thing, is it makes me
feel abnormal......I don't get why I can't find someone in my own hometown that
wants to be with me but someone 1400 miles away is the first person I hear when
I wake up in the morning and the last voice at night and wants to be with
me......
yeah,
i try to hold my head up high on that one, but he acts crazy....the last guy i
was talking to before I met my guy.....dumped me after finding out all the
drama I still had with the ex....I was on the phone with him and then my ex
called my sons phone and I thought I put him on hold.....when the ex told me he
went and clamed the kids on his tax return, when he didnt even help me last
year I fliped out.....the guy told me "i didn't know you had issues like
that, im out" LOL I told him if he had taken a min to ask me how my
relationship was with my kids father he whould of known and deleted his #
yea.....IDK,
didn't think he was right for me anyway. But I was kind a like WOW your
breaking up with me over that???
I
think I have it together, I know I make bad choises when it come to men, but
what I learned in the past year is as much as I want a relationship, I don't
need one...Im blessed I can do for my family and take care of them...Im not the
richest person in the world but I make a good enough living to keep my self
above water, I have goals, im still young, and I have a bright future ahead
me..... =D
i
told him i would move back to miami, if I could sell my house. THE
PROBLEM......homes are not selling here in San Antonio

Well I can start with I am legally
married and have been for the last 9 years, but we have been seperated off and
on since 2008. We have filed the divorce papers and are awaiting a court
date. He is currently seeing another woman back home where we are from
and I can honestly say that I really don't mind, just wish her the best of
luck!!!! If there is anything
else you want to know just ask.
Yes we still talk but only of the
childern. No I don't hook up, I really have not thought of dating I just want
the divorce to be over with and then someday I might think about dating.
And my lone brave male!

and again sucks rt
yes but we never stop living
together n 6 years
YES WE GOT A SON TOGETHER AND NOPE
SHE DONT WANNA I DO
As you can see, there are some
interesting and disparate stories here. Unfortunately the men didn’t step up.
Thankfully, the women were honest and open.
I saved the last female’s story because hers was the most compelling.
She asked me to call her. I hesitated but quickly found out why it was worth it to call. Below is her story. Because of her situation, I can’t tell you much about her identity. You’ll see:

Female 38
“It's
too much to type and what paper or magazine do you work for or is this just a
project”
I sent her a link and my phone number. She
responded with hers. I was determined to call so I set a reminder to call her
within two hours. This is her story:
She was married 11 years.
She’s been separated for 1 year. He doesn’t know. He knows they have problems,
but he hopes they stay together. She wants a divorce but she’s scared to tell
him where she lives because he’ll make life hell. They’ve tried to work it out
2/3 times. As of now, he thinks she’s looking for a place for them to stay. She
intentionally let their lease lapse and told him they had to find somewhere
else to live.
The relationship is abusive, physically and verbally, “He’ll
hurt me” “Not attracted to him” because of the abuse. He’s jealous of her
financial responsibility. He gave up “the life”/hustling and now struggles. He’s
unhappy with his life choices. So, they argue, he get’s violent.
She lives in one state and he
lives in the state next door. He’s not from either. She’s hiding from him and still
dating.
“It helps” but “I’m going to
hell” because she’s still married. She cheated two years ago (that’s one year
before the ‘separation’. She’s scared of Tagged. She still dates the guy she
cheated with, but she can’t give her all because of this situation.
She’s embarrassed because
family warned her. And after all this, she’s still “confused”. She thinks about
going back but knows she “Can’t change him” Deep down she knows it’s not going
to work.
These women should show us
how issues get tangled and twisted and complex when we let things build up
instead of dealing with them. All of these “relationships” started simply and then the issues came. As I spoke with
these women, I would notice one issue that seemed simple enough and,
immediately, that one issue would get entwined with another simple issue. And then
another, and another… And there you have it! A complicated relationship.
I’ll speak for the men and say that everyone is looking
for Love. These “complicated” relationships are just one extent people will go
to in order to find it. Let these women serve as warning. Relationships are
simple. Life is simple. Love is powerful. It can all become complex if we let
them.

What I Learned In Church 3/4/12
Today we read: Genesis
Chapter 22, Romans 8 and Mark 9. In these chapters we examined Abraham's faith,
Paul told us “If God is with you, who can be against you?” and we witnessed The
Transfiguration. We should know Abraham’s story. He was impatient so God put
him to the ultimate test. He had to wait until he was 100 years old
(exaggeration) to have children. Then he was asked to make a sacrifice and he
offered up his only son who he waited nearly a century for… Some of yall don’t
even like your kids and you wouldn’t give them up like that. Even for God. And
that’s how he got his blessing.
Fast forward a few generations. God gets tired of the endless
cycle of messing up, punishment, forgiveness, trials, blessings… God says- let’s
skip a few steps. Hey Jesus! Come do me a favor… Now we have an example of
perfection to strive for and endless do-overs. And then theirs is the power. “If
God is with you, who can be against you?” No one!
Lets look back at the example in the flesh. Two of the
three men who went straight to heaven come back to chop it up with Jesus. That’s
the power that is available to us and Peter wants to put Jesus, Elijah and
Moses in boxes. God's power is limitless. Why do we always try to put the
limitless inside a box. 

My boy Robert says it this way, If
you didn't understand #TheMatrix the first time you
watched it, you're a fucking idiot or at the very least you have ADD or ADHD or
OCD.
I’m a little bit nicer but, the sentiment is still the
same. When you truly understand what it means to have access to limitless
power, the sky is the limit. If you are still limiting yourself and/or God,
something is wrong.
I see a lot of people who “know the bible” but still live
within limits. Something is wrong. We have a mental disorder or like Robert
says… dee-deedee! 

It’s simple. "Listen to
God" Trust what you hear from God.
If you are having trouble, now is the perfect time to give up some stuff/distractions
so you can hear. I believe in us. We can do it.
