Black People Love Being Black: The Canonization of Antoine Dodson

Steve Sailer is a favorite writer of SBPDL. Though he has never mentioned this blog nor allowed any links that would send a reader here to be posted in his comment section, we feel in many ways that this Web site has influenced a lot of his writing over the past 10 months.

Recently he posted an important essay – Black people like being Black – which contained a number of important insights that should be obvious to anyone who reads this site:

For one thing, how much do blacks want to act white?

As far as I can tell, blacks, on the whole, have a blast being black.

They not only like being black, they like to talk about being black with other blacks. They have one of the more homogeneous cultures in the world, in part because they are constantly discussing being black with each other…

The reigning theory is that white culture will rub off on blacks by osmosis, but there is precious little evidence to back it up. Indeed, exposure to white people just makes blacks focus more on their blackness…

And, these days, which whites, exactly, are volunteering for the job of making blacks feel ashamed that they aren't acting white? How much prestige and social approval would you receive for taking on that onerous task?

Instead of blacks competing for white approval, whites today compete with each other over how much they approve of blacks.

Not surprisingly, that doesn't do much to improve black behavior.

Black people like being Black. How commonsensical, how to the point and matter of fact. This rational statement helps explain why the # entries at SBPDL happen with such frequency wherever Black people are found in America and why any mention of these activities or stereotypes must be assiduously censored and deemed impolite -- impolitic -- to discuss.

Remember, in Black Run America (BRA) any attempts at discussing the pathologies that plague the Black community are off limits. Even Bill Cosby was questioned for his well-intentioned discussion at highlighting the problems endemic in the Black community, and if a life-long crusader for the acceptance of Black people in mainstream America is chastised by his own people for daring expose their dirty laundry, it becomes apparent that one of two scenarios are obvious.

Either Black people wish to obscure the world in which they dwell for fear that white people will pass judgment on them for failing to live up to a civilized standard, or Black people see nothing wrong with their behavior and celebrate it vociferously.

We know Acting White is considered a dreaded contagion in the Black community that must be stamped out with ruthless aggression, which correlates to one simple truth that supports the latter scenario: Black people have no intention of ever assimilating to white culture; white people are assimilating into Black culture because they embrace it with open arms.


Rejecting those members of the Black community who dare pass judgment and criticize a community they see as pristine and in no need of amelioration, Black people rejoice in everything Black and have blatant disregard for anyone who from inside their group or outside who believe higher standards should dictate Black life.

One video helps illustrate this point beautifully. Recall a post on Huntsville, Alabama from a few weeks back. A video was highlighted showing a Black family that had the misfortune of another Black person invading their home and attempting rape on one of the females in the clan. Enter one Antoine Dodson into the equation and Newsone.com presents us with this story:

I’m sure all of you have seen the Antoine Dodson video. If you haven’t, I posted a link to it below.

In the aftermath of this video, there have been many on the net who think Antoine Dodson makes us look bad. There are others who just look at it as a funny video regardless of color.

Personally, I feel many of us have the same issues President Obama has. While Obama does everything in his power to not talk about race (think he will seem racist/one-sided to white folk), many of us want any images of “ignorant, uneducated” Blacks to disappear from the TV screens and daily life. In some cases, many of us don’t even want to associate with or acknowledge them.

A few years ago, I was riding on the 1 train in NYC and a poor Black man entered the car. He was acting a bit wild and an older African American lady said: “No wonder they hate and make fun of us.” I disagreed with that statement. Too many Blacks care about what other ethnic groups/races think of them. That has to stop. We have to realize that for every Black Antoine Dodson, there are plenty of Whites and Latino’s who act just like him.

With all that being said, where do you stand on this? Do you think its embarrassing to us or just a funny clip?

The clip from the Huntsville local nightly newscast is embarrassing. The people in the clip remind one of the poor trailer park dwelling white people interviewed directly after a tornado has invaded their mobile domicile park and brought massive devastation with it.

Yet, white people look with horror at these misfortunate individuals, never embracing their plight. In fact, SWPL white people deem them “white trash”.

Black people, however, celebrate the strange behavior found on display by Mr. (or is it Ms.?) Antoine Dodson. Indeed, an HBCU band has decided to jump aboard the strange 15-minutes of fame Mr. Dodson has been allotted:

I remember being excited to play “Louie, Louie” in middle school band class, fast forward over a decade and college marching bands are now covering viral video parody songs, quite nicely I might add.

You may have been one of the more than 10 million people to have seen Antione Dodson’s news package, where he talked to reporters about saving his sister from a potential rapist in Huntsville, Ala., and the subsequent Auto-Tune the News remix, well North Carolina A&T’s Blue & Gold Marching Machine broke up the grueling monotony of band camp to take a stab at their rendition of that YouTube parody.

Their version, shot in the band room, actually makes it sound like something from the radio and has nearly 60 thousand views in less than two days. Arranger Thomas L. Jones Jr. made a point to say this is only a practice/reading session, not the final product.

Full disclosure: I’m a graduate of North Carolina A&T.

The song is now available on iTunes, see the original “Bed Intruder” here. Check out the cover below. Hide your kids, hide your wife! Run tell that!

White people watch and laugh at these videos of normal Black people and normal Black behavior, but never dare challenge why these types of people are celebrated in the Black community and not condemned. That would violate every rule of BRA.

The lowest common denominator seems to dictate the cultural ideals in America and when BRA dominates every segment of American society, Black culture becomes the norm.

Sailer is wrong though: Black people don’t like being Black, they love being Black. Blackness places them above reproach from outside criticism. Black people reject any criticism of their community by fellow Black people, for they see nothing wrong with celebrating oddities (like Mr. Dodson) when other racial groups run from these of type of people within their groups.

Only a Black college marching band would find joy in paying homage to Mr. Dodson, for any white college marching band that dared play the same tune would be immediately derided as insensitive and racist for the poor taste in making fun of Black people.

It should be obvious now: Black people love being Black; they see nothing wrong with the state of their community; and they celebrate people whom, if they weren't Black, white people would look upon with derision.

Thugreport.com: A Candle in the Darkness

Editors note: Inadvertently, a post was deleted that must now be rewritten. Such is life, right? Currently, I'm working on five big pieces (one or two of which will appear on a different Web site), but the tragic loss of an entry due to a callous disregard for saving an MS Word file has me vexed. So today, I pay homage to a Web site that must be frequently visited by all of those who come across SBPDL or enjoy reading entries here. It has the honor of being a Web site that is included in the Stuff Black People Don't Like category without requiring an official entry, based solely on the subject matter it covers.


We have briefly discussed local nightly news shows at SBPDL, and pointed out the obvious: a parade of human suffering broadcast by your local network affiliate is painful to endure, especially if you are Black.

Crime presents a difficult pill for many to swallow. Billions of dollars have been spent combating crime, yet it appears to never cease in its intensity. Our jails teem with masses of men and women incapable of participating amicably in civil society and the police and public defenders that put these felons into incarceration facilities are routinely denounced as harboring a “racist” agenda.

It is ingrained in the American psyche that any injustice brought against Black people must have iniquitous origins, for the continued application and vigorous pursuit of a white racist agenda pervades all decisions by the establishment, which is still ruled by a shadowy organization helmed by The Man.

This is of course, nonsensical. Black Run America (BRA) dictates simply that a Black person is presumed innocent of any wrong doing when even the slightest stench of white racism can be detected as reasoning behind that individual’s criminal motivation.

In BRA, there is always A Time to Kill when the justification for such actions can be credibly linked to the racist actions of a white person. The word “credibly” is used loosely, for the word of a Black person – even a Black mass-murderer – is considered sacrosanct.

However, one site has tediously attempted to document and aggregate crime for those curious enough to question just what type of face best describes the American criminal. In the quintessentially American film, Deathwish, the anti-hero (Paul Kersey) attends a sophisticated dinner party and overhears the following conversation:

The guy's a racist.

-He kills more blacks than whites.

-More blacks are muggers.

You want to up the proportion of white

muggers to have racial equality?

What? Racial equality among muggers?

I love it.

Thugreport.com is that Web site, a swift quick of truth that overwhelms even the most hardened realist when it comes to the face of crime in America. Showcasing why vigilante movies must always rely on Italian mobsters as criminal fodder for the hero, Thugreport.com dares unveil what no major newspaper in the United States would ever consider publishing: photos accompany the heinous criminal stories.

The photos on the Web site belie any idea that a clever conspiracy exists (running nationwide) to imprison innocent Black people with wanton abandon. It is Black people who seem to have an intrinsic desire to commit crime with an obvious gratuitous, meaningless and licentious abandon.

Thugreport.com has a few rules, which should be stated here:

About The Thug Report

We are periodically asked why we do The Thug Report, and some unjustly impute racist motives to our site. So for those who care, here's the story:

1. Why did you start The Thug Report? Simple answer: I thought the domain name was funny, and discovered that it was available. Serious answer: I felt that there was a need to call the public's attention to the broad incidence and consequences of urban crime. Large swaths of nearly every city in America are virtually uninhabitable because they are cesspools of crime and violence. The majority of those living there are law abiding and hard working, but they are held hostage or driven out by a criminal few. The Thug Report exists to raise public awareness of this fact, so that we'll start thinking about what can be done to change it.
2. What's your point? The point is simple: Urban crime isn't an occasional incident or a geographically isolated phenomenon, it's something that happens constantly, in every city in America. Yes, there are occasional incidents of violent crime in rural areas and suburbs. But nowhere else in America compares with the war zone that is the inner city.
3. Why do you only show black criminals? If you are asking this, you just picked the wrong day to visit. We post stories and photos of urban crime perps, regardless of race. Plenty of white criminals have had the dishonor of appearing on the site. However, because blacks are far more likely to commit urban crime, they are also far more likely to appear here.
4. Are you against all black people? Absolutely not! The vast majority of those I've known are honest, decent, hard working people. By no means do we intend that such people should be sullied by the evil deeds of the few miscreants who appear on this site. In fact, it is they who suffer the most at the hands of the thugs.

Thugreport.com strives to showcase racial diversity in crime throughout the nation, but to do so would be a vain attempt at implementing the joke alluded to earlier from Deathwish. The face of crime in America is what Thugreport.com stitches together with a delicate thread and what the mainstream media viciously pulls apart at the seams, though the material is still there for many to see the tainted truth.

Media outlets have long censored the race of criminals (The LA Times recently re-started its homicide map, to much chagrin) and Thugreport.com does the job the so-called free press finds unnecessary.

So, as Budweiser is known to do in a clever marketing, SBPDL salutes Thugreport.com, a purveyor of truth unvarnished and uncontaminated, unlike the news presented by gatekeepers of the dying media who must remain thoroughly Disingenuous White Liberals to the bitter end.

Thugreport.com: showcasing the detritus of society in all its wonderful color.

Worse, Thugreport.com shows that those Brinks Home Security commercials that constantly cast a white criminal as the consistent home invader dwell in the realm of science fiction.

Field of Broken Dreams: Groups of Black people attack Whites at Iowa State Fair

All along, this blog has attempted to showcase what life is really like in the United States. By daring to expose the various things that Black people find offensive and not appealing to their delicately cultured and cosmopolitan tastes, Stuff Black People Don’t Like has flourished (to the point of search engines scrubbing clean all search queries that would send a Web surfer here).

Black Run America (BRA) operates under the assumption that “This Is a Black World Now” (recall the horrific beating a white family suffered in Akron last year at the hands of a pack of Black youth). TBW is the game that Black people play, and now the game has found a new location in Iowa:

Des Moines police are trying to determine what led to a series of attacks outside the Iowa State Fairgrounds over the weekend that included the assault of two police officers.

At least three people were arrested Friday through early Monday morning. Other arrests may occur as officers investigate the incidents, officials said.

There are indications that some of the fights - which appear to involve mostly teenagers and young adults - were racially motivated, police said.

We don't know if this was juveniles fighting or a group of kids singling out white citizens leaving the fairgrounds," Sgt. Lori Lavorato said. "It's all under investigation, but it's very possible it has racial overtones."

Officials announced last week that they were stepping up security outside the fairgrounds after a series of attacks Aug. 14 that included a pair of stabbings. Investigators are still investigating those assaults and victims intend to pursue charges.

Sgt. David Murillo stated in a report on Friday night, "On-duty officers at the fairgrounds advise there was a group of 30 to 40 individuals roaming the fairgrounds openly calling it 'beat whitey night.' "

Jammie Carroll, 36, of Polk City, was seriously injured in the 3000 block of East Grand Avenue Friday night after a group of people beat him up, causing severe injuries to his eyes, cheekbones and nose, Murillo wrote. Carroll is white, and many of the suspects are black, police said.

State Rep. Ako Abdul-Samad, D-Des Moines, who has worked to fight gang-related violence, said he doesn't have enough information to decide if the fights were racially motivated. He said police comments that race was involved could miss other factors, such as nonracial taunting.

"Unfortunately, like any other city, you have certain parts of town that individuals congregate in," Abdul-Samad said. "You have those that go into that area with no problem, and those who cannot."

He added, "We of course need to work on race relations. If anyone says we don't, they are playing games with themselves."

State Fair spokeswoman Lori Chappell said she had few details about the incidents. Police had increased security near the western edge of the fairgrounds specifically, she said.

The fair, which drew more than 960,000 visitors over 11 days, ended when the gates closed at 1 a.m. Monday.

About 10:30 p.m. Sunday, two police officers were attacked as they waded into a combative crowd outside the fairgrounds' main gates at East 30th Street and Grand Avenue.

Sgt. Richard Schuett and reserve Officer Lynn Hubbs both complained of head, neck and back pain after being punched from behind while trying to make arrests.

"There were pockets of people fighting," Schuett said. "People were leaving the fair and they were walking into the middle of them. We were trying to move people along but some of them wouldn't move."

A police report says Schuett "was on the ground fighting with his suspect, and several other females began to attack him." Another officer grabbed one of the attackers and tried to make an arrest, but she spun away.

Officers sprayed chemical deterrent and deployed a stun gun while trying to gain control. Two teenage girls were taken into custody for questioning following that incident.

Also Sunday night and early Monday:

- Beth Longen, 25, of Des Moines was at the gas pumps at the QuikTrip store, East 30th Street and University Avenue, taking video of the crowd when she was assaulted about 11:20 p.m., police said. A 17-year-old girl allegedly slapped Longen and threatened her in front of police officers. The teen was one of several taken to police headquarters and later released to parents.

- Earl Tice, 17, of Des Moines was attacked near East 30th Street and Grand Avenue about 9:45 p.m. Sunday. He told officers he was jumped while leaving the fair. Tice was having X-rays taken at a hospital when police took a report from his mother. Officials said he had been kicked and punched.

- Officers arrested Daveion Trell Smith, 18, of Des Moines on a charge of disorderly conduct. Police said they observed him with a large group of people, yelling and gesturing and trying to start a fight with another group of people. He was warned and told to leave the area, police said.

- Kiera Agee, 18, of Des Moines was charged with disorderly conduct. Police said they told her several times to leave the area. She allegedly responded by swearing at police. She was arrested and was taken to jail.

- Ashley Robinson, 18, of Des Moines was charged with interference with official acts. Police said they were doing paperwork in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant near the fairgrounds when Robinson walked up demanding answers to questions. Police were holding several suspects there at the time. She was ordered to leave the area. When she refused, she was taken into custody.

Laurie Christensen, a resident of Walker Street near the fairgrounds, said she's never seen such hostility around the fairgrounds.

Groups "have been openly taunting the police - in the street right to their faces," she said. "We found some of them that ran from the police hiding in our backyard."

White Boy Day is over in America. It has been for some time. Roving gangs of white youth attacking non-whites is a product of Hollywood fantasy, but the opposite is grounded in reality and happens with increasing frequency. It just so happens to occur quite often in BRA, though no one will admit it publicly and this conspiracy of silence will continue unabated.

One Iowa news station reported the story this way:

Several Des Moines Police officers tried to break up the fights after they started at around 10pm. According to one of the police reports, a large portion of the fighting involved "...a large fight with black male and female juveniles assaulting white citizens."

During that effort, two white officers were hit in the head from behind, while trying to make arrests. One officer had to use a stun gun to get control of the situation, and eventually chemical sprays were also used on the crowd, to get things under control.

Given the racial make-up of the crowd last night, Des Moines police believe that these latest attacks may also be racially motivated.

Flash mobs, riots over Section 8 vouchers and an undeclared war on White boys nationwide... Once, a movie tried to stake the claim that “Heaven” and “Iowa” were synonymous. Sadly, the state fair in Iowa has shown that the post-racial dream of a united America is folly, put to rest on a field of broken dreams.

This nightmare could end tomorrow, but it will only get worse and worse. Just as the film True Romance states in a pivotal scene, it ain’t White Boy Day in America anymore:

Drexl Spivey: He must have thought it was white boy day. It ain't white boy day, is it?
Marty: No man, It ain't white boy day.

Just consult the coverage of Omar Thornton to see what life has become in BRA for those outside of its color-coded protection.

In a more civilized time, real men rose to put down threats to civilization so that those interested in preserving and perpetuating life could flourish. Are we nearing that time again?

Somewhere, the Jena 6 are laughing.Oddly, a similar incident happened last year in Iowa City, though little coverage of the story was available.

Video of the event is here and here.

Pre and Post Obama America on Display: The Natural vs. Idiocracy. Which do you choose?

Maybe the idea of Pre-Obama America never existed, just another myth created by an advertising agency trying to sell nostalgic paraphernalia at Cracker Barrel; A golden age fabricated in the mind of a Madison Avenue executive in an all-out-effort to maximize the exposure of some product, carefully marketed with a hint of Mayberry and a sly wink provided by the immensely likable Jimmy Stewart.

Michael Bay has long attempted to infuse into his films this particular slice of Americana pie, as exemplified with the idea of Pre-Obama America. The iconography noticeable in his films from Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, The Rock and even The Island, requires an astute viewer to understand that Bay has swallowed the idea of Pre-Obama America completely and exploited this imagery successfully.

Perhaps no finer scene of Bay’s reliance on Pre-Obama America in film can be found here. Made in 1998, Armageddon already looks incredibly outdated already considering the awesome demographic changes America has undergone since the film’s release.

No, these movies and stories must have an antecedent in truth and this idea that seems so distant did indeed exist. But like The Greatest Generation, Pre-Obama America is fading from memory and replaced with a more palatable notion, best described as Omar Thornton America.

Children born into the world in 2010 would scarcely believe Pre-Obama America ever was, even though so-called “period films” offer a glimpse into what that world was actually like.

In an attempt to find the one scene from a movie that perfectly encapsulates what Pre-Obama America was and will always represent, the ending of The Natural came to mind.

As an outreach to readers, we encourage you (thanks to the power of YouTube) to post in the comment section and include your favorite scene that helps summarize what exactly Pre-Obama America was for those who might lack the credulity to believe it ever existed.

The fact that this nation (POA) once existed is a thought so frightening to those in power: to think, a nation that once had jobs Americans would do instead of relying on importing a new underclass to perform jobs that the already existing underclass won’t do.

We’ll return to normal posts tomorrow, but we find inspiration in film. The Natural is a movie that appears frozen in time, a snapshot of what made Pre-Obama America such a wonderful place in which to live and an enduring of symbol of why that particular nation had to be demographically crushed through ethnic cleansing by attrition. White people abandoned California, just as Black people have been viciously pushed aside there in the early stages of a racial conflagration they have no chance of winning. Once a Little to Beaver city for Black people, Compton is now firmly in the hands of those that would have been barred from this nation by immigration reform.

SBPDL is of the opinion that those who comprise the fabled “Talented Tenth” also long for a return to days similar to what The Natural depicts for reasons that can be found in archives of this website.

We try to mix humor with some serious posts here and have failed at this recently. Understanding that sports don’t strike everyone as a worthy subject matter, we’ll get back to the bread and butter of SBPDL starting tomorrow.

Don’t forget to send story ideas or crazy stories to us at stuffblackpeople@gmail.com.

Conversely, if one scene can accurately embody Pre-Obama America, one scene from a film must beautifully summarize life in the nation we currently inhabit. The opening of Idiocracy fits that bill perfectly, though the adjective beautiful is one hardly found in the same discussion of the current affairs of the world.

Notice, though, that Idiocracy still relies on white people (a Disingenuous White Liberal couple and a Joe Six-Pack couple) to showcase the problems in reproduction. In reality, Black sports stars serve that role much better.

There can be no going back to the world that the characters of the film The Natural existed in, but the terrifying world of Idiocracy grows more apparent and inevitable each day.
