Wannabee Playas Who Realized They Only Played Themselves and Not the Game

Posted on September 7, 2008 by Ed

The current news about the government takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will have its implications on the American economy. The reason I’m writing is because most of these cats out there waited for the last minute to realize how bad the American economy is actually in and did nothing but try to maintain their existing status and pretend it was alright. See, this was how George Bush administration did America, using shock value like Saddam support Al-Qaida, terrorist orange alert, telling us bin laden is still out there waiting to attack, say the economy is alright, the private sector can regulate itself and you know what – it was all bullsh*t. But you know the real problem, most people didn’t want to believe it was bullsh*t and that’s why America is in the f*cked up mode we are in today. Because I realize there is a model by the big guys to mindf*ck the masses in a millisecond, get the profit from the ill-gotten misleading information and run high-tail once the duped clown finally realized their rectal canal was violated without lubrication.

That’s what we call a con man back in the days and I realize that many of the corporate and government world use the same tactics of a con man. And what I notice over and over again is the willingness for regular people to be ignorant of the ish, then they crying and whining once they get caught up. One example was all these cats running around Atlanta talking about they flipping homes – something that was based on speculative science – basically thinking the next guy actually had money to pay for the flipped premium – is now all caught up. Let me give people a clue about Atlanta – it is so much pine trees full of unoccupied land around Atlanta that if you want to buy, you buy new construction off new deforested land instead of buying some used housing. This ain’t Washington DC or Harlem where you got to fight for existing land and buy tear downs for $750,000. But these cats come in my face bragging they flip homes in Atlanta and I just listened. They use to be all up in my face in Atlanta bragging about how they doing their thing in Atlanta at the cheese and crackers social outings and I just comply with all the bragging ish.

I wish I can meet with them today and continue that discussion over cheese and crackers and wine because I will straight talk with their braggart ass. F*ck your million dollar home built in a subdivision you trying to sell off – your dumbass willing to jumbo loan finance that kind of money on a single dwelling place in some Atlanta suburb and not invest that kind in rental properties in Black communities like Chicago West Side or Prince George’s County, that’s your sellout dumbass. F*ck your gas guzzling Maserati and your Range Rover with 22” rims you trying to sell off also – I’m only paying 35% of the Blue Book value for it and you can step off because I got a line of I-fronted-and-now-going-broke people willing to take that lowball offer. And those 22” rims you financed also made your nice ride look ish might I add. And yeah, f*ck your high-maintenance wifey too because she just realize brothas who spend a lot of money is played out and a brotha that know how to keep money and make more money from existing money was the man all along. Your home flipping ish washed up big time, son and I have no advice to offer to you except to just let your ass be an example to serve to others who want to live the fronting lifestyle built off so-called home equity. And by the way, how’s the cracker and cheese?

See, one of the things I’m learning is how the mass of people can be screwed over and manipulated so easily because people are so dedicated into clinging onto stupid beliefs they formulated themselves without doing research and critical analysis. You know, the kind that believe they can get rich quick by doing something they saw on a Saturday morning infomerical. Cats knew it was highly doubtful Saddam had weapons of mass destruction or affiliated with anti-American terrorists but they went along with the ish. Now we got to see funeral processions going to the Veterans Memorial park of not old war vets, but fallen young men and women who died for our country based on misinformation. Yall knew damn well the bankruptcy legislation Congress passed years ago was designed to allow the credit industry to charge 30% interest and make it harder for people to get out of paying usury rates. But yall said let the industry self-regulate and now if you even accidently go over limit, you now at 34.99% interest rate. I notice over and over again in this country that people want to sit on their ass and do nothing until fecal matter actually start flying all around after hitting the fan blades.

I can go on and on about how the establishment does shady ish and continue to do so because people in general do not stand up and fight until after they had been victimized. I remember when sub-prime loans were a “Black inner city problem” and ignored by the media and legislatures. Now that sub-prime was discovered to be all up in these jumbo loans and a lot of these suburbs was expecting big tax revenue from those McMansions bought with sub-prime loans, now sub-prime is a big major issue and CNN just ran a special on it a few weeks ago. See, I told you I can go on and on.

I don’t want to bloviate too much, all I want to say is we got to be extremely smart nowadays to go for ours, be wise about our surroundings and keep our head above waters. It’s advanced zero sum game theories being played on us right now and because I can understand these patterns because of my background, I’m straight warning yall that yall better get keen. McCain knew what he was talking about when he put these “me first, country second” cats on notice. Because I’m going to be honest – I’m not feeling sorry for a lot of people who allowed themselves to be played because they thought they can get over in a game they knew had much bigger players than them involved.
