DON’T HATE THE PLAYA’
Apparently my charming personality and rapier wit have become lost on Black Democrats in Marion County. I don’t know why they hate me but they have really stepped things up. From outgoing City-County Council Attorney Aaron Haith calling me the grandson of Willie Lynch, to State Representative Bill Crawford defending him. And State Representative Vanessa Summers going on the public airwaves and engaging in a string of personal attacks and demanding I be fired from my jobs. I can’t quite figure out what I did to these guys, but I’ve been compiling a list.
The only hood I know is on the back of my parka from Land’s End.
I’m a free thinker.
I hold officials accountable.
I have a blue tooth and not a gold tooth.
I have a good job, good diction, credit and education.
I have no baby mamas in my life.
I speak the truth.
I’m successful and it had nothing to do with the Black establishment in this town.
I drink martinis and smoke expensive cigars and not King Cobra and Swisher Sweets.
I speak three languages and ebonics is not one of them.
I read the Autobiography of Malcolm X and didn’t stop at the halfway point.
I think these are just some of the reasons, I’m sure there are more. I just wish these guys would find something more productive to do and instead of hating the playa, they’d spend more time hating the game.
