This website will serve to educate the general public on Black people and the Stuff That Black People Don't Like. Black people have many interesting eccentricities, which include disliking a litany of everyday events, places, household objects and other aspects of their everyday life.
Black people are an interesting subject matter and this website will chronicle the many problems in life that agitate this group of people.

You can't address any of the problems in America - whether increasing or decreasing taxation, improving education (its working pretty good for whites and Asians), stopping manufacturing companies and white collars jobs from being outsourced, improvements in transportation and cutting the size of government - without addressing that white elephant in the room, Black people.
Government payrolls are filled with otherwise unemployable Black people, an entire middle-class created because private companies can only hire so many diversity enforcers. Take a look at Prince Georges County to see the ability of these Black people once they are left to their own devices.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) makes it virtually impossible for a company to operate, without fear of being questioned for under-employing obviously under-qualified Black people. Companies that could employ Americans then move overseas to China, India or other nations where millions, sometimes billions of higher qualified people work completely devoid of the fear of violating someones civil rights.
Does Stuff Black People Don't Like believe in the American Dream? No, we believe in the Pre-Obama American Dream. We believe in a restoration of The Manifest Destiny.
We reject liberalism completely. We reject the belief in equality completely. Those who question the concept of equality are always called "close-minded" or "ignorant." Imagine if you were an alien new to earth, seeing the world for the first time. Would you honestly surmise that the gross differences in standard-of-living between the United States, Western Europe, China and Japan versus the continent of Africa and Haiti (and any area within the United States with a majority Black population) was due to anything but inequality?
The amount of lying it takes to create a worldview where someone can convince themselves that equality is factual is tantamount to an undying devotion to the belief that the earth is flat.
The POTUS 2011 State of the Union was delivered to people who have a steadfast devotion to the perpetuation of the belief in the equality. It's time to stop lying to ourselves. The world isn't flat.
No amount of money will ever bridge the racial gap in learning. Companies will continue fleeing in America, because of laws that make the firing of Black people once hired virtually impossible to fire.
It's time to mention the unmentionable. Race is real. Very real.
But two months away from the first kick, soccer fans everywhere are counting down the moments until their beloved nations compete for the FIFA World Cup Championship from the haven for criminality or, the nation of South Africa.
South Africa will host the 2010 World Cup, but it will also continue to be host to a murder rate of nearly 50 people per day. Compound that shockingly high murder rate with the influx of hundreds of thousands of tourists sporting cash and other tangible goods on their person and we at SBPDL expect a 30 - 50 percent increase in the murder rate during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa (already, soccer fans from countries participating in the World Cup are afraid of the crime rate and will stay at home in droves, denying a major economic impact to not only merchants in South Africa, but looters and muggers as well, not to mention prostitutes).
Two recent stories showcase life under Black rule in South Africa. One, includes the war against White farmers that the African National Congress (ANC) has been waging since the takeover (handover) of that nation in 1994:
THE gunmen walked silently through the orchard. Skirting a row of burnt-out tyres, set ablaze months earlier to keep the budding fruit from freezing, they drew their old .38 revolvers.
Inside his farmhouse Pieter Cillier, 57, slept with his 14-year-old daughter Nikki at his side. His 12-year-old son JD was having a sleepover with two teenagers in an adjoining room.
As the intruders broke in, the farmer woke. He rushed to stop them, only to be shot twice in the chest.
In his death throes he would have seen his killers and then his children standing over him, screaming and crying.
The attackers, who were drug addicts, simply disappeared into the night. Cillier’s murder, at Christmas, was barely reported in the local press. It was, after all, everyday news.
Death has stalked South Africa’s white farmers for years. The number murdered since the end of apartheid in 1994 has passed 3,000.
In neighbouring Zimbabwe, a campaign of intimidation that began in 2000 has driven more than 4,000 commercial farmers off their land, but has left fewer than two dozen dead.
The vulnerability felt by South Africa’s 40,000 remaining white farmers intensified earlier this month when Julius Malema, head of the African National Congress’s (ANC’s) youth league, opened a public rally by singing DubulaIbhunu, or Shoot the Boer, an apartheid-era anthem, that was banned by the high court last week.
The Times Online of the London mentions the song Shoot the Boer, and yet another story discusses the egregious refusal of the ruling Black people to denounce the signing of this song, only further fanning the flames of racial violence by the ruling Black people against the dwindling white population whose ancestors dared to build a nation out of the wilderness of Africa:
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's ruling party on Tuesday defended the singing of an apartheid-era song with the words "Kill the Boer" in a row that has raised fears of increasing racial polarisation.
The African National Congress dismissed a ruling by a regional high court last week that uttering or publishing the words would amount to hate speech and violate the constitution put in place after the end of white minority rule.
"These songs cannot be regarded as hate speech or unconstitutional," ANC Secretary General GwedeMantashe told a news conference. "Any judgment that describes them as such is impractical and unimplementable."
The recent singing of the song by firebrand ANC youth wing leader Julius Malema, who argues that black South Africans have not benefited enough from 16 years of democracy, drew anger from whites and other minority groups.
The lyrics of the song, sung in Zulu, translate as "kill the farmer, kill the Boer", referring to the former ruling white minority.
"Most people realise that this is a struggle song but many whites cannot help but feel that they are being targeted," said Marius Roodt a researcher at the South African Institute of Race Relations.
"The ANC needs to be sympathetic to the feelings of minorities especially if there is a perception created that they endorse inflammatory statements.
President Jacob Zuma has repeatedly stressed the importance of reconciliation in what became known as the "Rainbow Nation" after the relatively peaceful transition from apartheid.
The World Cup will be a failure (here is a great, balanced, website about crime in South Africa). If Mandela dies before or during the World Cup, "Kill the Boer" could become "Kill any White Devil" in the country.
Black people in not just America, but around the world must understand the serious implications of what a disastrous World Cup in Post-Apartheid, Black-run South Africa will mean: Black people are incapable of running anything significant; from a county in America (like Jefferson or Clayton); to a city (like Detroit); or to a nation they earned by killing every white person on the island (like Haiti); to a simple sporting event.
Sports create the idea of equality through the vast inequality of the athletes participating in the games. White people receive positive images of Black people and thus, Black people are allowed to participate in a society that would otherwise reject them.
For the sake of the future of Black Run America (BRA), the World Cup must be moved from South Africa. If not, be prepared for the destruction of the egalitarian myth that holds together this nation (and world) with the strength of badly stretched rubber band.
It's almost ready to rip apart. The World Cup in South Africa will supply the final amount of pressure necessary to cause it to break apart forever.
If Mandela passes away then "Kill the Boer" will transpire, and yet the spirit of Epic Beard Man will manifest itself with righteous indignation across the globe.
Again, SBPDL encourages the cancellation of the World Cup from the unsafe cities and stadiums of South Africa.
If not, the irony of the sporting world destroying the fragile world order it helped create will not be lost (see the film Invictus and any American movie made about race and sport).
Eight days after the devastating earthquake struck near Haiti's capital, donations for relief efforts are still pouring in -- in excess of $305 million..
Charities, companies, individuals and celebrities across the U.S. have been rallying together in the aftermath of the 7.0-magnitude quake last Tuesday, and their efforts are paying off.
As of Wednesday afternoon, over $305 million in donations had been raised, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, a newspaper covering nonprofit organizations. The estimate is based on a survey of 29 charities contributing the largest amounts of money to Haiti.
Looking around majority run Black cities and counties (Jefferson County in Alabama and Clayton County in Georgia), one can see signs of a slipping to Haiti-like conditions - see Detroit - and this worries Black people.
Riots, nothing new to Haiti, were prevalent before the earthquake and ubiquitous after, despite the onrushing of aid to the Black Republic:
At a makeshift tent city in a schoolyard in Port-au-Prince’s Delmas neighbourhood, now home to between 5,000 and 7,000 homeless people, violence broke out over food.
“Too many people need to eat — it’s not organized,” said Guerline Stjour, standing on the sidelines with other women. “People are desperate,” said Birgit Zeitler. “We asked for security. It didn’t come.”
The six Nepalese UN blue helmets sent to help the German group watched on the sidelines, helpless to stop the riots and unable to communicate with the large group.
Haiti’s national police officers waved their guns in the air to no avail. Then a convoy of large trucks arrived in the school’s parking lot and the crowd rushed forward. The trucks carried medication and the people walked away with looks of desperation.
A refusal to have rioting in Chile, swiftly defused with a proficient military incursion. Why didn't that happen in New Orleans after Katrina, when even police resorted to looting?
We are the World, the theme song for white people who fancy themselves as cool, hip and crusaders in the cause of leveling the biological inequities that exist among disparate population groups, won’t be used as a selling point for guilt-trips to send money to Chile.
That nation in South America is not privy to the largesse accumulated through the efforts of celebrities through telethons and endless commercials for one reason: a lack of a pathetically inept Black population to feel paternalistic toward.
Buildings caught fire, bridges collapsed and debris blocked streets across swathes of central Chile, but the initial death toll was relatively low from a quake packing many times more power than the one that devastated Haiti last month.
A 15-storey building collapsed in Concepcion, the closest major city to the epicenter, and overturned cars lay scattered below a fallen overpass in the capital Santiago. Telephone and power lines went down, making it difficult to assess the full extent of the damage and loss of life.
The rioting that Haiti has had to deal with since the earthquake (and well, since Haiti was founded) has not been quelled in the same manner that riots are stymied in Chile:
Chile's president sent the army to help police attack looting on Sunday and appealed for international help in the wake of an earthquake that shattered cities and killed at least 708 people…
Police said more than 100 people died in Concepcion, the largest city near the epicenter with more than 200,000 people. The university was among the buildings that caught fire around the city as gas and power lines snapped. Many streets were littered with rubble from edifices and inmates escaped from a nearby prison.
Police used water cannon and tear gas to scatter people who forced open the doors of the Lider supermarket in Concepcion, hauling away everything from diapers to dehydrated milk to a kitchen stove.
Black people look at the images from Chile and cringe. Some in the media have tried to discuss the glaring differences in the earthquakes between the undeniably poor Haiti and prosperous Chile:
The earthquake in Chile was far stronger than the one that struck Haiti last month — yet the death toll in this Caribbean nation is magnitudes higher.
The reasons are simple.
Chile is wealthier and infinitely better prepared, with strict building codes, robust emergency response and a long history of handling seismic catastrophes. No living Haitian had experienced a quake at home when the Jan. 12 disaster crumbled their poorly constructed buildings. And Chile was relatively lucky this time.
Saturday's quake was centered offshore an estimated 21 miles (34 kilometers) underground in a relatively unpopulated area while Haiti's tectonic mayhem struck closer to the surface — about 8 miles (13 kilometers) — and right on the edge of Port-au-Prince, factors that increased its destructiveness.
"Earthquakes don't kill — they don't create damage — if there's nothing to damage," said Eric Calais, a Purdue University geophysicist studying the Haiti quake.
The U.S. Geological Survey says eight Haitian cities and towns — including this capital of 3 million — suffered "violent" to "extreme" shaking in last month's 7-magnitude quake, which Haiti's government estimates killed some 220,000 people. Chile's death toll was in the hundreds.
Mr. Calais can be pardoned for his rather misinformed statement. No one can know how many people died in Haiti, but the number can be ascertained in Chile for one reason – they are a nation that is capable of taking care of itself.
And Black people know another apparent reason is true too – the Black person in Chile is as rare a sight as the Black person at a Tea Party or a Republican function in America. Out of 16 million people, Chile has so few Black people that they constitute a statistical anomaly and aren’t even registered as an ethnicity by the CIA Fact Book:
Studies on the ethnic structure of Chile are non-conclusive and might vary significantly from one study to the next.
UNAM professor of Latin American studies, Francisco Lizcano, believes Chile has an estimated 52.7% of European descent, with mestizos estimated at 44%.
A study conducted by the University of Chile found that within the Chilean population 30% are white, the mestizos component of predominantly white ancestry is estimated at 65%. Other study of the University of Chile and other found a white majority that would exceed 60% to 90% of the Chilean population.
According to the Census 2002, 4.6% of the Chilean population considered themselves indigenous, although most show varying degrees of mixed ancestry
Chile has no Black people. Haiti has an overabundance of Black people that make the island nation look like District 9, compared to the nation of Chile that looks like Avatar in comparison. Haiti has 9 million Black people.
Of those 9 million, 99 percent live in such a state of poverty that their Black ancestors, who slaughtered the white people in the 1790s and early 1800s, might reconsider their actions if they could see the surreal, truculent life their actions helped pave the way for.
Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes the earthquake in Chile, for the power of that quake was of such a higher magnitude than the one that destroyed the already destroyed Port-au-Prince that the only obvious answer for why that could be is due to the population dynamics that helped create each nation.
Chile has white people and no Black people. Haiti has 9 million Black people and realizes on the generosity of white people to function at even a 3rd world level.
These are facts of the highest discontentment to Black people (look at the history of Haiti vs. Chile for more information on this melancholy realization).
We are the World? Chileans have no use for “being” the world nor helping every nation become Haiti. Black people wonder when Atlas will shrug in Black Run America (BRA), for he never had to in Chile.
SBPDL is a relatively new website. We have no budget. We don't ask for donations. We merely perform the general service of educating the world on Stuff Black People Don't Like (if you would like to contact us, send an email to stuffblackpeople@gmail.com)
It is a vital enterprise in a nation that is governed by the iron rule of BRA (Black Run America). What is the number one law that dictates life in BRA? Simply this: Thou Shalt Not Display Black People in a Negative Light.
A look the archives of SPBDL will give you an intimate picture of life in BRA and grant you the rare opportunity to walk in polluted waters of the real-world of what it is like to be Black in America.
We posted an innocuous look at the Michael Oher story that is featured in the Michael Lewis non-fiction best seller and cinema sensation of the exact same title, The Blind Side.
We also have posted an entry on the reality of adoption, something that is included in Stuff Black People Don't Like.
White people have flocked in mass to help the Black people on that Black run island-nation, in a desperate attempt to locate Black children worthy of plucking away from Haiti and inculcating with love and compassion in their homes back in America. Call it 'TBSS' - The Blind Side Syndrome.
White people hope to bring these Haitian children to America and raise their own Michael Oher's in a laboratory experiment with one hopeful conclusion: NFL stardom.
Some white people have gone to great links to get Haitian children out, even kidnapping Haitian children in act of open defiance of the law that governs Haiti:
Anyone sitting in a dank, fetid Haitian jail for any reason probably deserves at least a measure of sympathy, so in that sense I feel sorry for the Baptist missionaries from Idaho charged with kidnapping 33 "orphans" and trying to take them out of the country. But what the do-gooders allegedly did was not just misguided. It could be criminal, and Haitian authorities are right to hold them accountable.
When the Haiti earthquake struck, Silsby and nine others flew down, assembled a group of 33 boys and girls, and headed for the Dominican border. That was where Haitian police stopped them and discovered they had none of the documents required to take children out of the country.
Never mind that before the Haitian earthquake, kidnapping and child slavery were a cottage industry in that Black-run nation, on par with sub-prime mortgages in the United States:
On market day in Dajabón, a bustling Dominican town on the Haitian border, you can pick up many bargains if you know where to look. You can haggle the price of a live chicken down to 40 pesos (72p); wrestle 10lb of macaroni from 60 to 50 pesos; and, with some discreet inquiries, buy a Haitian child for the equivalent of £54.22.
"You just ask around town," says Hilda Pe-a, who monitors border crossings for the Jesuit Refugee Service. "People know who the scouts are. You just tell them what kind of child you are looking for and they can bring across whatever it is that you want."
There is a thriving trade in Haitian children in the Dominican Republic, where they are mostly used for domestic service, agricultural work or prostitution. Eight-year-old Jesus Josef was one of them. Numbed by a mixture of trauma and shyness, this small boy with huge eyes cannot recall how he left his three brothers and mother in Haiti and ended up doing domestic work for a Dominican family in Barahona, 120 miles from the capital, Santo Domingo.
The reality of adoption is on display in Haiti. White people are bringing the children of a failed state to the United States of America, a nation bent on joining Haiti in the near future as the biggest failed state in history.
Funny, citizens of Florida who live near Haitians have no desire for anymore Haitians in their state.
But back to the point of this post, The Young Turks. An entertaining internet show, The Young Turks (TYY) was recently profiled in Fast Company, a brilliant business magazine SBPDL reads on a daily basis:
Television studios are airport-hangar-size buildings with green rooms, overflow trailers, and people with massive salaries bustling around. I'm sitting instead in a cramped office on Wilshire Boulevard, a mile from Beverly Hills, which has been converted into a makeshift studio for the Internet-based TV talk show The Young Turks. In the control room, three staffers in T-shirts and a perky producer, Ana Kasparian, 23, man eight computer screens and clutch boxes of various Willy Wonka candies. A wall-size window separates them from a modest newscast-esque set.
Just before 4 p.m., host Cenk Uygur, 39, arrives -- "early," he says, so we could talk -- not at all fazed that his three-hour show is streaming live in 10 minutes. I've seen the show; his musings are thoughtful, insightful gems in a sea of digitized diatribes. I look around for a teleprompter. There isn't one. No writers either. Uygur watches the day's video clips for the first time during commercial breaks, seconds before he discusses them on-air.
Uygur doesn't look like a rebel, but there is something revolutionary going on here. Roughly 450,000 people watch The Young Turks on YouTube alone; thousands more in the precious 18-to-35 demo listen on Sirius Satellite Radio and through the TYT Web site, making it competitive with, say, MSNBC's Morning Joe (382,000 viewers a day in September), or CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight (616,000). And that, says Uygur, is only the beginning of a campaign "to take down television."
Why is this important? Recently, SBPDL was featured on TYT for "being against the movie The Blind Side." We aren't against the movie, but we do find it perfectly in tune with the zeitgeist of the day, The Blind Side Syndrome, and our theory is backed by the empirical evidence of adoption rates between the various racial groups and the outpouring of compassion coming from white families in the tragedy of Haiti.
White people are doing everything they can to make Haiti a better place and Haitian children will be brought to America in the hopes they can be remade into perfect white children (save for the unfortunate over abundance of melanin).
Call them kidnappers. Call them good Samaritans. Call them unwitting victims to a political drama staged by the beleaguered Haitian government.
Call the 10 American missionaries under arrest for taking 33 children out of earthquake-ravaged Haiti what you will, two fact—rarely mentioned in news media accounts—are indisputable:
All of the detained members of the Idaho-based Baptist group are white.
Francis Fukuyama declared the end of the Cold War between the United States and the former Soviet Union the “end of history”.
Interesting, a Cold War between the historical population of the United States of America and Black people existed until January 20, 2009. Pre-Obama America was defeated upon that glorious day and Black people finally had their Ozymandias-in-Chief - Mein Obama - the General Zod of Black America.
Would the historic election of a Black man to the whitest office in the world – The Oval Office - finally drive a stake through the vicious and inherently racist heart of white America and be enough to prove to Black Americans that Pre-Obama America had declared a détente and capitulated to change and hope?
Well, no. Black people find the current state of America awash in the same racism that stained the Pre-Obama America era with a tarnish no amount groveling could ever remove. You see, Black people will never be happy until every institution in America has a Black person in charge.
Black head coaches for every NFL franchise; Black CEOs for every Fortune 500 company; Black presidents for every college and university, public or private; and of course, Black senators representing all 50 states in the union. To Black people, only when these prerequisites are achieved will the true Cold War end, for the collectivist desire to get back at white people for centuries of injustice – real or imagined – can only occur when all power is bequeathed to Black people.
The State of the Black Union (SOBU) symposium has been one of the most anticipated events for millions of African Americans during the last decade, but after 10 years of conversations, founder Tavis Smiley has announced the end of the series.
"When we started SOBU there was only one Black nationally-syndicated radio show and only one Black television network. Ten years ago, there were just a scant few African Americans offering political commentary in mainstream media.
Over the years, the landscape has changed tremendously with multiple radio shows, television networks and the explosion of commentary in the blogosphere," Smiley said.
"While I still think there is comparatively speaking a paucity of Black commentary in the mainstream, there are currently many more avenues available for discourse on issues impacting African Americans. Ten years later, Black folk no longer have to wait for SOBU in February to hear issues that matter to them being discussed by them.”
Not everyone understood the importance of the SOBU, but the value can’t be understated. It offered Black people the chance to hear grievances aired by leaders in their community, instead of the Disingenuous White Liberal leader who loves getting Black votes but forgets them once in office.
The problem though, is the current Black State of the Union, or The SOBU – not be confused with FUBU – should really read FUBAR, for like Haiti, Black people in America find themselves in a situation that only SBPDL dares point out:
A hundred and fifty years ago, Charles Dickens opened "A Tale of Two Cities" with the now-famous phrase: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ...
Those words resonated with me recently while contemplating the impact of the Obama presidency on blacks in America. So far, it's been mixed. Blacks are living a tale of two Americas--one of the ascension of the first black president with the cultural capital that accrues; the other of a collapsing quality of life and amplified racial tensions, while supporting a president who is loath to even acknowledge their pain, let alone commiserate in it. This has had a sobering effect on blacks. According to a Nov. 9 report from Gallup, last summer 23 percent of blacks thought that race relations would get a lot better with the election of Obama. Now less than half that percentage says that things have actually gotten a lot better.
The racial animosity that Obama's election has stirred up may have contributed to a rallying effect among blacks. According to a Gallup report published on Nov. 24, Obama's approval rating among whites has dropped to 39 percent, but among blacks it remains above 90 percent.
Also, this hasn't exactly been a good year for black men in the news. Plaxico Burress was locked up for accidentally shooting off a gun in a club. Henry Louis Gates Jr. was locked up for intentionally shooting off his mouth at his own home. And Michael Jackson died after being shot full of propofol. Chris Brown brutally beat Rihanna. Former Representative William Jefferson was convicted. And most recently, the "personal failings" of Tiger Woods portray him as an alley cat. Meanwhile, the most critically acclaimed black movie of the year, "Precious," features a black man who rapes and twice impregnates his own daughter. Rooting for the president feels like a nice counterbalance.”
2009 is simultaneously the year that Black people saw the ascension of a Black person to the White House, a blow that some believed would eradicate Pre-Obama America forever, and yet, the seemingly universal collapse in all things Black. His election could ultimately prove to be Pyrrhic victory in the Cold War, as 2009 also saw the return of a Black Michael Jackson; Tiger Woods fall dramatic from grace; and the augmenting of those who can see.
Consider the current state of Black employment, a problem of Titanic proportions that continues to run into iceberg after iceberg:
Joblessness for 16-to-24-year-old black men has reached Great Depression proportions -- 34.5 percent in October, more than three times the rate for the general U.S. population…
Young black women have an unemployment rate of 26.5 percent, while the rate for all 16-to-24-year-old women is 15.4 percent…
The Obama administration is on a tightrope, balancing the desire to spend billions more dollars to create jobs without adding to the $1.4 trillion national deficit.”
An SBPDL suggestion: send all unemployed Black people to Haiti to assist in the cleanup and rebuilding of that island nation.
Looking deeper into the SOBU only further amplifies the unpleasant reality of FUBAR for the Black community, as a Black Depression is affecting Black families and Black people searching for work which shows no signs of letting up:
“This is accelerating an already steady decline in the once high-paying manufacturing sector for black workers. The Center for Economic and Policy Research estimates that the share of African-Americans working in manufacturing declined from 23.9 percent in 1979 to 9.8 percent in 2007, the highest drop of any group.”
The Congressional Black Caucus is stepping in to point out the true SOBU to Mein Obama, but have found the president less than receptive to their demands:
Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) members on Wednesday criticized the Obama administration for not doing enough to help African-Americans through the bleak economy.
The CBC efforts underscore the deep anxiety lawmakers have as they face an economy witnessing the highest national unemployment rate in a generation. The unemployment rate for African-Americans is 15.7 percent, compared to the national rate of 10.2 percent.
The CBC members laid out a series of policies they would like to see enacted: efforts to reduce foreclosures, including through principal write-downs; better access to credit for African-American-owned auto dealerships; more aid to small and community banks that lend to African-Americans; and more federal money going to support ad buys in minority radio stations and newspapers.
Jen Psaki, White House spokeswoman, said the administration shares the concerns raised by the CBC members.
“We have not been informed of the reasoning behind their decision not to vote on the bill, but we continue to think it is important to move financial reform forward to prevent future crises from damaging our economy and disrupting the lives of millions of Americans, including African-Americans,” Psaki said in a statement.”
Black people were on the verge of losing power in Atlanta, the capital of Black America, and might also lose power in New Orleans, a city renowned for its ability to produce Haitian-esque violence as well as jazz.
Black run cities like Detroit and Baltimore continue to be home to corruption and never-ending misery and Clayton County, a majority Black suburban county of Atlanta, finds itself the poster child of life under Black rule.
A cursory glance at SBPDL and our archives will present a bleak picture that resembles the one Dorian Gray tried to hide from sight, but a picture that only hate facts can properly explain.
The Black State of the Union or SOBU isn’t pretty, and really, shows no signs of improving. Tonight, Mein Obama gives the State of the Union address to the American people and Black people, who still support him with a 90 percent approval rate, will watch closely to see if they really are FUBAR.
For sometimes life imitates art, and much like movies with Black Presidents of the United States, life in 2010 America is headed to a disaster of epic proportions.
Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes the Black State of the Union or SOBU as the prophecy of Wanda Sykes is nearing true. That half-white dude in the office is leading Black America into troubled waters and it’s obvious that Mein Obama hasn’t a clue has to righting the ships course.
Bill Cosby pointed out how Black America lost to the White man. A glance at SBPDL’s archives provide a crash-course in the reality of life for all Americans in 2010, and a glimpse at to all that we lost and that we’ve won.
The SOBU for 2010 is simply one that precious few words are needed to describe: FUBAR.
The “end of history” is nowhere near and SBPDL will continue to chronicle the State of the Black Union (SOBU) daily, because so few others dare discuss Black people outside of athletics. And that’s the only source of positive news for Black people… just ask Tiger Woods.
For the Haitian crisis can never fully be rectified as long as Haitians remain in Haiti, no matter how much praying is done and no matter how much hope is passed along to that islands Black population.
Billions of dollars prior to the earthquake failed miserably to create a sustainable government, an enterprising population proficient enough to build infrastructure in Haiti and worse, virtually anyone capable of cultivating the land for food and sustaining the exponentially expanding population that resembled the alien situation from the film District 9.
Oddly, the same scenario now befalls Zimbabwe, a nation where Black people can no longer feed themselves on the same land where white farmers once cultivated enough provisions to label that country “The Bread Basket of Africa”. The common denominator is of course, Black people in charge of both Haiti and Zimbabwe.
How much money has been raised for Haiti through text-messaging initiatives, church offerings, and the scam that is the Yele Haiti Charity of Wyclef Jean along with money from corporations here in the United States, not to mention the $100 million pledged by Mein Obama at a time when the US deficit has reached $12 trillion?
Can it be accounted for? Can it be quantified? Can an ROI be deduced from the benevolent nature of the American people? Should aid even be given?
Don’t forget the hundreds of millions of dollars that will be spent on US military personnel via the occupation of the island to keep and maintain peace (at least six more months).
Some have deemed Haiti and the crisis engulfing that land a crime of US Imperialism. This is wrong and a goofy delusion of those Disingenuous White Liberals who continue to give money to the perpetually open coffers of Haiti in hopes that every Haitian will one day love classical music.
Haiti is a crime of nature, allowed to continue thanks to the misplaced hope of millions who cling to the delusional belief in change. By throwing millions, billions, hell trillions of dollars to sustain a population of 9 million people incapable of sustaining themselves is the height of insanity.
Luckily, a solution to the problem does exist, as Haitians must be brought to America. Nine million Haitians must be brought to America now, so that every city can experience the glory of a Little Haiti (like the one in Miami).
Of course, this misses out on important point: Haitians are Black people and Black people currently enjoy a horrible unemployment rate in America. Compound that number with an additional 9 million Black people who are virtually unemployable in any meaningful field in America, and you create communities that will quickly resemble the island nation they were just rescued from and perpetuate the vicious cycle of madness that “hope” creates.
Oddly, “Hope for Haiti Now” is new collection of songs that would bring a tear to Pandora’s eyes, and better, dollar signs to those Crusading White Pedagogues eyes:
"Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief," drew a cumulative audience of more than 83 million viewers and a gross average audience of more than 24 million viewers in the United States, according to Nielsen Media Research. The telethon has now raised more than $61 million in donations from the general public to date.

No amount of money can ameliorate Haiti. No amount of aid can save Haiti. Importing vast amounts of Haitians will only have the alchemical effect of turning America into Haiti.
Hope in the hands of Disingenuous White Liberals and Evangelizing White Emissaries (EWE) creates a world of universal misfortune. Look at the success of “We are the World” and “Do They Know Its Christmas?” from the 1980. Wait…
Nothing changed. Not one thing.
Gallup polls show not all Americans are in favor of Haitianizing the United States by bringing in more Haitians, but we at SBPDL disagree. It’s a Black world now, and all capable families should have one Haitian child to show them this obvious truth.
Hope can be a powerful entity, but it can also empower the delusional. In the case of Haiti, the source of our greatest strength continues to empower our greatest weakness. Black Americans, already experiencing record levels of unemployment, will now see that “Hope for Haiti” is an idea that will never come.
Stuff Black People Don’t Like understands one idea today: There is No Hope for Haiti... now or ever.
Don’t forget to buy the album Hope for Haiti Now, iTunes number one selling album of all-time, because it is vital that we help save a nation through our continuous gift of hope. That same nation – mind you – was labeled by the United States Department of State (as of November 23, 2009) as being completely devoid of hope:
“CRIME: There are no "safe” areas in Haiti. There is a persistent danger of violent crime, which can be subject to periodic surges sometimes not obviously explained by other events or conditions. Haiti is among the four most important countries for drug transit to the United States. Law and order in Haiti has steadily deteriorated as a result. Kidnapping, death threats, murders, drug-related shootouts, armed robberies, home break-ins and car-jacking are common in Haiti. Generally, these crimes are committed by Haitians against other Haitians, although several foreigners and U.S. citizens have been victimized.
The incidence of kidnapping in Haiti has diminished from its peak in 2006 when 60 U.S, citizens were reported kidnapped. In 2008, there were 27 reported kidnappings of U.S. citizens, and as of September 2009, one U.S. citizen had been reported kidnapped. Many U.S. citizens who were kidnapped reported being beaten and/or raped by their hostage takers. Kidnapping remains the most critical security concern. Kidnappers have frequently targeted children.”
The above quote was from the United States Department of State, issued on the 23rd of November in 2009.
There is no hope for Haiti and there never was. Sorry to burst your bubble George Clooney, for not even you and every star in Hollywood can shine bright enough this time to change nature. It didn't work for Bob Geldof and Africa, and it won't work for Haiti.
Much has changed in the world since this site was launched. The God-like ability of one Mien Obama is apparently gone, and it appears his ascension to the presidency is but a Pyrrhic victory for Black people.
Black people in America understand this, and despite a deep connection with the plight of the Haitians, realize the Black faces that continually are shown on television in horrific, squalid conditions from Port-au-Prince showcase the global condition of their race in poetic exactness.
It’s time to bring up a phrase that applies directly to this crisis – that affects Black people only and is merely prolonged by the intrusion of pity-intoxicated, self-righteous palefaces - and is the reason why Black people don’t like global warming and its implications: Malthusian Catastrophe.
Few people dare bring up Thomas Malthus anymore, for population explosions are occurring among only the colored masses of the world (Africa, China, India) and anytime Stuff White People Like individuals discuss global warming they find themselves entering a world where race realism is the white elephant they dare not mention.
What did Malthus predict?:
A Malthusian catastrophe (also called a Malthusian check, crisis, disaster, or nightmare) was originally foreseen to be a forced return to subsistence-level conditions once population growth had outpaced agriculturalproduction. Later formulations consider economic growth limits as well…
A series that is increasing in geometric progression is defined by the fact that the ratio of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant. For example, a population with an average annual growth rate of, say, 2% will grow by a ratio of 1.02 per year. In other words, the ratio of each year's population to the previous year's population will be 1.02. In modern terminology, a population that is increasing in geometric progression is said to be experiencing exponential growth.
Alternately, in an arithmetic progression, any two successive members of the sequence have a constant difference. In modern terminology, this is called linear growth.
If unchecked over a sufficient period of time, and if the ratio between successive sequence members is larger than 1.0, then exponential growth will always outrun linear growth. Malthus saw the difference between population growth and resource growth as being analogous to this difference between exponential and linear growth. Even when a population inhabits a new habitat – such as the American continent at Malthus' time, or when recovering from wars and epidemic plagues – the growth of population will eventually reach the limit of the resource base.”
Watching the Haitian earthquake unfold on television screens in the United States leaves DWLs feeling queasy and desirous of hearing “We are the World” and “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” for they only feel pride and a sense of emotional self-worth when they showcase their moral superiority over those unenlightened souls who dare point out that no amount of money could ever save Haiti (indeed, billions upon billions have done little over the past 30 years).
Worse, a film depicts the Malthusian principle at work profoundly and works to belie the notion of egalitarianism in a manner few Black people wish to admit. District 9, a film set in South Africa, shows us the most distressing situation where an impoverished alien race lands on earth and inconveniences the citizens of that nation with their increased crime and reliance on handouts to sustain their race:
“If you look at the film as an apartheid allegory, it has problems right off the bat. The aliens are loathsome, trash-eating vermin who fight endlessly, destroy property for no reason, and piss on their own homes, which isn’t a truthful or flattering allegorical comparison for actual black South Africans under apartheid.
Apartheid is terrible because humans were denied rights. The “apartheid” of these aliens isn’t that terrible – it’s kind of justifiable, because they’re actually dangerous, violent and destructive.”
Sadly, this description of the aliens in the film has a correlation to the behavior of Black people in Haiti and post-apartheid South Africa (and New Orleans and Detroit) that few wish to admit:
“It was lunchtime in one of Haiti's worst slums and Charlene Dumas was eating mud.
With food prices rising, Haiti's poorest can't afford even a daily plate of rice, and some take desperate measures to fill their bellies.”
“Sanitary conditions in tent cities like this one in Port-au-Prince's once elegant Champs de Mars park around Haiti's crumbled presidential palace are worsening by the day as hundreds of thousands of survivors of last week's earthquake cram together to eat, sleep, wash and defecate.
"It's miserable here. It's dirty and it's boring. There's nothing to do but walk about," said Judeline Pierre-Rose, 12, who misses her comfortable home with its couch and TV.
"People go to the toilet everywhere here and I'm scared of getting sick. My twin sisters vomited last night," she said.”
When Black people became the rulers of South Africa, a once-glorious 54-story building in Johannesburg – Ponte Tower – was reduced to the world’s largest trashcan:
“Life in the building became truly brutal after the fall of Apartheid. As crime rose in the once-upscale Hillbrow neighborhood, numerous gangs moved into building. Ponte Tower became a center of organized crime activity, and life in the building become extremely unsafe. Owners all but abandoned the structure to decay. At one point the garbage piled five stories high in the open inner courtyard of the building.”
Yes, five stories of trash piled up inside the Ponte Tower after Black people took over the everyday affairs in South Africa. And worse, Haiti too has had tremendous trash problems as NPR pointed out in 2007!:
“First, we're starting with garbage. Haiti's trash collection system is so bad that on the streets of the capital, Port-au-Prince, garbage blocks roads and clogs the city's drainage system and canals.”
“A screen title at the end of the movie reveals that since the events depicted, the number of aliens (who are, by the way, bigger and hungrier than humans) has grown to 2.5 million. That’s up from 1.8 million just three years before.
Blomkamp may not have chosen those numbers randomly. At this 11.5 percent annual growth rate, the number of aliens on Earth crosses the 100,000,000,000 mark in exactly 100 years.”
“Rena Bronson of Macon comes home from work and makes a pot of coffee before sneaking off to the bathroom to feed her habit. She pulls out a plastic baggie full of hard, crumbling white chunks and then pops a piece in her mouth.
``I eat dirt with the door closed,'' she said, laughing and a little embarrassed because she is a nurse at the Bibb County Health Department. ``I just call it eating dirt. That's what I do. Every day that God sends that's what I do. Technically, I guess I'm supposed to be crazy for eating this stuff?''
The ``dirt'' in question is kaolin, a white clay mined in Georgia and South Carolina that is used for everything from making ceramics and textiles to diarrhea medicine. For decades, it has also been a folk medicine that pregnant women, particularly black women in the rural South, have used to combat cravings during pregnancy. A recent study published in the Southern Medical Journal argues that kaolin-eating should be classed as a particular kind of problem known as a ``culture-bound syndrome,''…
Haiti as a true version of the aliens in District 9 is a difficult point that must be made, for Ponte Tower and Haiti both have one thing in common: a lot of Black people and an incredible amount of trash.
We have stated without sports, any positive images of Black people would be difficult to find. Without charity, Haiti would scarcely exist. Without pity, where would Black people in any nation and for that matter, Africa, be? That question is one that is the Stuff Black People Don’t Like to hear.
When you pop in District 9 in your DVD player, try not to think of Haiti. We dare you.
It has been said that “when hell is full, the dead will walk the earth.” One people and one nation deserve credit for delivering a frightening genre full of suspense, chills and gruesome images of undead carnage: Haitians.
The idea of reanimated corpses – the “living undead” – finds origins in the same land where Houngan’s are reported to have taken an oath back in 1791. Pat Robertson has come under fire for inane remarks connecting this oath to the geological disaster that has befallen Haiti, completely neglecting the nightmarish existence Haitian’s lived in prior to the earthquake.
Regardless, Haiti and the Black people who live there must be shown plenty of gratitude for they bestowed the world with the idea of the zombie:
The origin of the concept of zombiism stems from Haitian Voodoo culture. The word zombie--in Haitian it is "zombi"--means "spirit of the dead." Voodoo folklore contends that Bokors, Voodoo priests that were concerned with the study and application of black magic, posessed the ability to ressurrect the deceased through the administration of coup padre--coup padre is a powder that is issued orally, the primary ingredient of which is tetrodoxin, the deadly substance of the notoriously poisonous fou-fou, or "porcupine fish." According to lengend, "a zombi(e) is someone who has annoyed his or her family and community to the degree that they can no longer stand to live with this person. They respond by hiring a Bokor..to turn them into a zombi(e)." (Keegan, www.flmnh.ufl.edu)
Once they had been issued the coup padre, the subjects being prepared for their descent into zombidom would appear to die insofar as their heart rate would slow to a near stop, their breathing patterns would be greatly subdued and their body temperature would significantly decrease. The public, thinking that the person was dead, would bury him/ her as if they were a corpse. They would then be exhumed, still alive, by the Bokor and, although their physicality remained intact, their memory would be erased and they would be transformed into mindless drones. "Though still living, they remain under the Bokor's power until the Bokor dies." (Keegan, www.flmnh.ufl.edu)"
Black people in Haiti (Haiti is almost 100 percent Black and has been since the people slaughtered European’s in the 1790s) have been to known to be practitioners of voodoo and combine mysticism and magic to restore life to the dead, thus turning them into zombies:
“According to the tenets of Vodou, a dead person can be revived by a bokor, or sorcerer. Zombies remain under the control of the bokor since they have no will of their own. "Zombi" is also another name of the Vodou snake lwaDamballah Wedo, of Niger-Congo origin; it is akin to the Kikongo word nzambi, which means "god". There also exists within the West African Vodun tradition the zombi astral, which is a part of the human soul that is captured by a bokor and used to enhance the bokor's power. The zombi astral is typically kept inside a bottle which the bokor can sell to clients for luck, healing or business success. It is believed that after a time God will take the soul back and so the zombi is a temporary spiritual entity.[2]
In 1937, while researching folklore in Haiti, Zora Neale Hurston encountered the case of a woman who appeared in a village, and a family claimed she was Felicia Felix-Mentor, a relative who had died and been buried in 1907 at the age of 29. Hurston pursued rumors that the affected persons were given powerful psychoactive drug, but she was unable to locate individuals willing to offer much information.”
From a biological standpoint, Haitians who practice voodoo and the art of zombiism, have an ally in Wade Davis as he has done extensive research in Haitian voodoo and penned numerous volumes on the subject. In Passage of Darkness: the Ethnobiology of the Haitian Zombie and Serpent and the Rainbow, Davis discusses the uses of certain chemical compounds to create hallucinogens and neurotoxins capable of inducing the effects of death only to allow the “zombie” to awake later.
The botanical secrets and the chemical compound formulas that create zombies are known only by the Haitian Voodoo priests, but the mysterious origins behind zombies haven’t dissuaded others from inventing their own.
We have discussed the historical nature of zombies, as the idea originated in Haiti and there, witch-doctors practiced (and still do) a form of Black magic that “can” reanimate corpses.
In the United States however, zombies take on a much different connotation, for we view them as the true undead brought back to life, consuming as much live human flesh in the process, thereby spreading the zombie virus further. Zombies - in America - are a plague that must be eradicated.
Romero, who has made a fine living directing zombie films, cast a Black person as the main protagonist in his first zombie film “Night of the Living Dead” and has since positively shown Black people in that films many sequels, most notably in the late 1970s “Dawn of the Dead.”
It is obvious to all Black people, that Romero knows the true history of zombies, and thus, must do everything in his power to remove the mystical Black magic origins of voodoo/zombies from his films and showcase Black people operating in a highly functional manner.
There is an unwritten rule in Hollywood that Romero deemed necessary when discussing zombies, for no mentioning of Haiti and Black people’s predilection and fascination with the undead can occur in film or video game.
Resident Evil 5 is a video game – it has sold more than five million copies worldwide since its release - that dares to buck the Romero Law of Zombie films, for its storyline focuses on something Black people find abhorring. Remember, that law states black people as zombies aren’t allowed, for the historical connection between the two makes them synonymous.
"It (Resident Evil 5) depicts a white protagonist going into an apparently poverty-stricken village (the location is unspecified) and killing throngs of black zombified men and women (see the trailer yourself).
Croal's first reaction to the trailer was, "Wow, clearly no one black worked on this game." He explained his thoughts on the trailer and how he would have preferred Capcom to treat it:
"It's like when you engage that kind of imagery you have to be careful with it. It would be like saying you were going to do some sort of zombie movie that appeared to be set in Europe in the 1940's with skinny, emaciated, Hasidic-looking people. If you put up that imagery people would be saying, 'Are you crazy?' Well, that's what this stuff looks like. This imagery has a history. It has a history and you can't pretend otherwise. That imagery still has a history that has to be engaged, that has to be understood. ... If you're going to engage imagery that has that potential, the onus is on the creator to be aware of that because there will be repercussions in the marketplace."
There was stuff like even before the point in the trailer where the crowd turned into zombies. There sort of being, in sort of post-modern parlance, they're sort of "othered." They're hidden in shadows, you can barely see their eyes, and the perspective of the trailer is not even someone who's coming to help the people. It's like they're all dangerous; they all need to be killed. It's not even like one cute African -- or Haitian or Caribbean -- child could be saved.
They're all dangerous men, women and children. They all have to be killed. And given the history, given the not so distant post-colonial history, you would say to yourself, why would you uncritically put up those images? It's not as simple as saying, "Oh, they shot Spanish zombies in 'Resident Evil 4,' and now 'black zombies and that's why people are getting upset." The imagery is not the same. It doesn't carry the same history, it doesn't carry the same weight. I don't know how to explain it more clearly than that.”
One note on the Romero Law of Zombie films: there was a deviation from this rule in “Land of the Dead”, one of the recent zombie pictures that depicts motor-skills and intelligence in zombies. The smartest zombie is of course a Black person.
Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes Black Zombies, for history shows us that the mere idea of zombies originates from Haiti and Black people and yet depicting Black people as zombies might resonate negatively with people who recall this historic fact.
We have Haiti and Black people to thank for zombies, but Black people don’t like anyone pointing out this fact out.
