Ghetto apps, and the C word.

One of the beautiful things about being a black man in urban A-merry-ca, is that you can take really cool shortcuts through certain neighborhoods during rush hour. Neighborhoods that other people  desperately try to avoid, which always make the commute so much easier.

Look, if you are a white person living in A-merry-ca, I strongly suggest that you try to get your hands on the following device:

"REDMOND, Wash. (CBS Seattle) – Microsoft has been granted a patent for its “avoid ghetto” feature for GPS devices.

A GPS device is used to find shortcuts and avoid traffic, but Microsoft’s patent states that a route can be plotted for pedestrians to avoid an “unsafe neighborhood or being in an open area that is subject to harsh temperatures.”

Created for mobile phones, the technology uses the latest crime statistics and weather data and includes them when calculating a route.

The patent, written in a combination of tech-speak and legalese, was awarded to Microsoft earlier this week. " [Source]

Yes, I suppose that knowing "crime statistics" is important. Because you can never be too careful when navigating your way around A-merry-ca. (h/t to centauri for sending me this story)

Finally, I have to attack black a little bit tonight.

Hey, it's like this, if I am going to defend you Negroes when white folks get all racial with you during the heat of an athletic battle, you are going to have to restrain yourselves as well.

It is not cool to make racial remarks to your opponents. It's just not. Find another way to try and get under your opponent's skin without making ignorant and derogatory racial remarks.

"Ohio State linebacker Tyler Moeller, complained about racial slurs being used by Florida towards him in Ohio State’s 24-17 loss in the Gator Bowl.
Moeller claims that several Florida players called him “cracker” which led to tensions between the two teams.
Yahoo Sports reports:

“They’re classless. That’s the way I’d put it,” Moeller said, according to Marcus Hartman from Buckeye Sports Bulletin. “I’ve never seen more people swing at our players and call us racial slurs. I’ve never been called a ‘cracker’ more in my life than I have today. So I don’t really have much respect for them in terms of that but they’re a good team. They came out and outplayed us today.” [Story]

Tyler, I agree with you, and those Negroes who did that to you deserve to be in the house.
