The Bootstrap Factory

How come white people lie so much? They lie so fuckin' much they believe the shit they keep repeating. Lies get passed down from generation to generation until the truth gets lost forever. Then the next generation manufactures new lies.

I had this muthafucka here in Satan's Anus talk to me about how his granddad built his business from the ground up. Using it as fuel for his argument AGAINST working towards DIVERSITY. He's sitting across from an African (bootleg, right Nsane?) railing against diversity because life is full of hard knocks and that's the way groups of people grow. Mind you, he's sitting across from me wearing a company polo. The company is Quincy Garage Doors. His name: Jason Quincy. His age: 34. His title: Vice President. His Dad: President. His Granddad: CEO and Founder.

This what happens when white people lie to their children. You see, his granddad started this company using a Small Business Administration loan, the kind of loan that was FEDERALLY PROHIBITED TO BE GIVEN TO BLACKS DURING THE TIME HIS GRANDDAD GOT IT. In addition, he was loaned additional money by his dad (Jason's great-granddad) who owned a gas station. THE ONLY GAS STATION IN TOWN. That gas station was funded in part by the loan his great-grandfather received from HIS father in law, the bank president.

These are convenient parts of the "bootstrap myth" that get omitted. That muthafuckas great-grandfather owned a fuckin' bootstrap factory! The fuckin' bootstraps were even passed down! "His own bootstraps"! This cracker believes he's Vice President of his father's company because he was the best man for the job. Disgusting.

Work hard, keep your nose to the grindstone and you too can leave no discernable wealth for your offspring. That's the legacy Black people deal with daily.

Fuck these people,

Nepotism.

If it was someone else's gig, there'd be a "diverse" group of employees, I'm sure. You think them White mofos is sitting up talkin''bout "Lets get some niggers, and Wetbacks, and Japs, and bitches hired in here..."?

Hell naw!

And when grandaddy and daddy pass away, Jr. is gonna run the business into the ground, mishandle, and just generally fuck off the company's profits (if the company makes ANY after the "forefathers" pass away) on hookers, whores, drugs, alcohol, gambling, and his mooching/leeching ass friends and associates.

He prolly can't WAIT for Papa and GrandPapa to die...

chele said...

Yeah nepotism. Only that cracka isn't familiar with the term so he's just plain old ignorant.

He actually was trying to convince you that his people 'worked so hard' to start this company? That is amazing. How the hell did you sit there without going off ... articulating in the way an African should, of course.

Yo Zed I know this is unrelated to your post...

I finished those cd's for ya...send me an email asap with your mailing address info I accidentally deleted the email Blah sent me. urbansoulconnection@yahoo.com

Oh Yeah FUCK WHITE PEOPLE!!!!!lol

Knockout Zed said...

@Insanity
I really think a lot of this "denial of priviledge" is a mental illness. Just like the Republican Revolution and Confederate Pride.

This guy is a complete dickhead.

@Chele
The reason I HAD to talk to him was that he's a City Commissioner. We were discussing appointments to other boards and commissions and I was talking about the effort to have a diverse pool of candidates.

That gave him an opening to start in on diversity. He felt comfortable going there because the City Commission appointed me to my position. So he's pretty much like "Fuck you" to me.

I couldn't cuss his ass out, but I told him that I'd make sure "the community" knew about the selection process. You know which "community" I'm talking about too.

@Slish
I just sent you the address. Good lookin' out once again. I need Black music!

Knockout Zed said...

@CG
The reason I didn't go there with him is because I could have argued forever. I'd hurt his feelings and been in a bad situation for the remainder of my time here.

White people don't like to talk about the fact that it wasn't until the late '60s that the Feds made it LEGAL to give Blacks FHA loans. That means we couldn't get low interest loans to buy homes and they would not be underwritten by Fannie Mae. That shit is what created "the suburbs" and it's the reason Africans were stuck in ghettoes. Think about that. IT WAS ILLEGAL UNDER FEDERAL LAW TO GIVE BLACKS FHA LOANS. But we're did this to ourselves, right?

Read this to see an example of this shit at work.

Sangindiva said...

White folks and their bullshit!
UGH! I can't even BEGIN to go there.
LOL@ insanity's "Lets get some niggers, and Wetbacks, and Japs, and bitches hired in here..."?
CLASSIC!

Little Brown Girl said...

Honestly, even if you would have tried to break the shyt down for him he wouldn't have gotten it. Unfortunately these privileged fuks have their heads so far up their azzs that trying to educate them on the real world (their real world) becomes an exercise in futility.

Even when they are wrong, and the evidence of their ignorance is laid out plainly in the Queen's english, they are still right...it becomes pointless. The only options we have is to recognize the shyt...leaving them ignorant might work to our benefit if we can get our own shyt together.

Despite the fact that we could not get loans, my great grandfather and many like him started not one but several businesses. THat is what I call building a business from the ground up. No help from this shytie azz government. And his businesses were in his own community and brothas and sistahs supported him. It disgusts me to see how much ground we've lost, all while them ofays trying to convince us that we've made such great strides...fukkers!

Knockout Zed said...

@SanginDiva
The general level of ignorance is the reason we have the "party of inclusion" running all three branches of the Federal Government. Not that the fuckin' Donkeys are any better. Crackers.

@RD
The level of sacrifice that it took for your Great-Grand to start his own business had to be astounding. But, as my man Rakim once said on "The Ghetto", it shouldn't have to be like that. All the barriers they put in front of us and here we are. I laugh at white muthafuckas my age and older when I'm around them in a peer situation. "My ancestors were slaves, what's your excuse?"

TRUTHZ said...

lol... i hear africans lie a lot to...and lie so much they believe it.. if not, ask Luv what type of father he is to my child.

Knockout Zed said...

@Truthz
Of course WE lie a lot. They're just different lies.

"Yeah that Lexus is mine. I paid cash." "No, your honor, I was at home that night." "I forgot to punch in that's why my timecard is blank."

Luv is just delusional.

Honest said...

Dude folks wordsmith their stories to their benefit. I'm sure dude thought he was the best man for the job but a lot of others in his position realize that they're not and the only way they got to the level they're in is because of their family connections. God forbit they'd admit it though.

Oh boy this is a good post and right on to the comments!!!

(“Honestly, even if you would have tried to break the shyt down for him he wouldn't have gotten it. Unfortunately these privileged fuks have their heads so far up their azzs that trying to educate them on the real world (their real world) becomes an exercise in futility.”) A prime example of this would be our (and I use the term “our” loosely) fearless leader George W. Bush, Jr.

(You think them White mofos is sitting up talkin''bout "Lets get some niggers, and Wetbacks, and Japs, and bitches hired in here..."?)…..LOL!LOL!LOL!

Nika Laqui said...

Hell yea fuck these people.
Cause they will never know what it is to actually work hard to acheive a status of wealth, in a country that doesn't accept you or want you to succeed.
They don't want you leaving shit behind for you fam, but some bills..

A.u.n.t. Jackie said...

sounds like the damn republican party line from where i'm sitting.

I heard a speaker once say that affirmative action was a system put together by white men to make sure that white men stayed in power...i think it's befitting.

He was one of the Little Rock Nine. He towed the line for integration, literally!

ignorant ass crackas make me sick!

ChezNiki said...

Yeah white folks are always crying about 'reverse discrimination' due to affirmative action. White folks had 300 years of affirmative action, free labor and preference. As a Black person, Ive only had, at most, 50 years of affirmative action. When I get my other 250 years, then the playing field will be even.

Until then? I will take advantage of EVERY scholarship, handout, handup, tax deduction, rebate, program, rent subsidy, free block cheese powdered milk and honey and whatever else they have, with pride. My people paid taxes for about 100 years BEFORE they could use any of the stuff the taxes paid for (trains, public parks, public water fountains, schools, etc). F*ck 'em! F*ck 'em all with a big d*ck!

The most glaring example of why affirmative action should end for white folks immediately? George Bush. Legacy at Yale because of his dad, President of the United States today because of his brother...nuf said.

Anonymous said...

they never think shit like this relates to them.

"naw my folk aren't racist...they didn't own slaves" and bullshit like that gets under my skin.

if you would have told him the truth (which he probably knows) he would have dismissed you as "the angry black man".

i like liquor and tv said...

Exactly Chez. I was gonna say, these are the first people hating on Affirmative action.

And I feel ya KZ, it's nothing like people lying just to lie, but people who actually BELIEVE the lies sicken me.

like sangindiva said, I don't even want to start...

Paula D. said...

You nailed that shit! I work in HR & deal with these attitudes daily. Dumbasses!

Superstar Nic said...

They lie so damn much better they want everyone to think that they are better than they really are. I got one on my job that’s always trying to put my work down or find some shit wrong with what I did. I’m like fuck, I ain’t been here but 5 mos give me a fucking break. Then when I do some shit righ, the bitch gonna tell me that it sounds like it came straight outta a text book or the internet. WTF? That bullshit gets on my damn nerves.

Sorry to be venting in your comments my sweet ;-)

So, what the mofo was REALLY saying was that his Pops and Grandpops would rather hire his dumb ass to do the VP's job because he's a direct genetic seedling, rather than hire a more qualified, experienced person of another race and/or gender to fill the position. Never mind the fact that he probably dumb as a box of rocks, a slick ass thief (like Insanity implied)woh's gone steal the money after they die, and from the way he was talking, illiterate as well.

You know what: Pops and Grandpops deserve exactly what they get. Mofos like him need to be given a day's work as a day laborer for one day, and bring home those pennies to his wife and kids. Then, he can talk. But that's how White men REALLY think and feel, too...

EqualOpportunityCrush said...

another great post.. can't really add shit else.. school 'em Zed!

Anonymous said...

Another great post KZ, but I don't want to comment because I get too damned worked up over this issue. White people fail to realize that they are the ones that get preferential treatment because of their race. This is just a historical fact.

Oohhh Weeee! The bad thing about it is he is probably so deep into it he will never see his ignorance.
Holla!

They lie then get caught in their web of lies (see the Enron folks) and then lie about why they are up to their waste in doo-doo. African,Puleaze! And back in the day, when we didn't have 'rights' and 'laws' we (Africans) worked together more...we stood up for injustice...we wouldn't let them pee on our head and tell us it was raining. Now, too many of us just so happy to be invited to the dance we sit back and listen to lie after lie and never crack our lips to correct them. Man on your last day in the Anus...go find that dude...and then...school him on real hard work to start a bidness...and how he wouldn't know hard work if it slapped him upside the head....cause if he applied on his merit, he prolly wouldn't have that job. the more things change...the more they stay the same.

Gotta love them.
But even worse are the ones with all the opportunity and hook ups and resources and not a fcuking clue of what to do with them...aka most of the kids I went to college with.

The Very Reverend Ace Clemmons, Jr. said...

Its good know thats its only white people that lie. that makes me feel better, since, y'know, no one else does. I'm glad asians, mexicans, or ..eskimos dont lie, and espeicailly Arab folk. they certainly never lie. Islam and all.

You should have, under the authority of God almignty- shot the mutherfucker in the forehead and done the world a favor. That would have been the manly thing to do.

Everyone else's lies don't get printed as the story of record Big Fella. Stay white!
