Ah welcome back my loyal tens of readers; it’s a new year
and the same ridiculous Puma here. I’d like to say that as I’ve grown older I
am more measured and more mature. I’d like to say that. The truth is I am as
petty as I have ever been. In fact I’d say as I grow older my super power has
been my pettiness. It’s in this spirit that I present to you the first person
to receive what will be a monthly installment I hope. I present to you January’s
recipient of the “If You Don’t Sit Your Ass Down Award.”
This month’s recipient is a man that needs a bit of an
introduction because frankly before this incident no one remembered or had
heard of him. Bo Bice…Get yo ass up here so you can sit your ass down!

| If you don't get the... |
If you are unaware why he may be receiving this prestigious
award, I’ll bring you up to speed. Mr. Bice went to a Popeye’s, ordered food
and was insulted and shall I say massively disrespected by the slur “white boy.”
Wait… what? Hold on a second.
Ok so let me get this straight, this wing ding is on tv literally crying because a Popeye's cashier said the horribly offensive line “He’s already got his — that white boy there.” He further went on to say: "If the tables had been turned and I used something as insensitive like
that… I would be boycotted, there would be people not buying my albums." Hate to break the news to you champ but they weren't buying your albums anyway. Is this guy serious? Let me tell you I've been to that airport and he got off lucky if that's all he was called.
Jokes aside, so you got your feelings hurt because she said you were a white boy? Bo, buddy, pal, being called white isn't a slur, or was it the boy part, the point is calm your crying ass down. At work I got called a nigger. This wasn't some long time ago, this was September. Hell last week I had another person ask me to teach them how to speak in ebonics. While not many come right out with the "n" bomb, little microagressions like the ebonics line are a daily occurrence. And guess what sport, I'm not special in this regard. I can't even tell you what a minority woman goes through as they get hit with the daily double of racism and sexism.
“Look through the comments of hate and ignorance that have been pouring
in and tell me there isn’t a problem with race relations going on in our
society, folks.”
You make a good point Bo, there is a problem with relations in this country, unfortunately for you this ain't it. I hope you cry just as hard when studies show black men with college degrees have the same chances for hire that fresh out of prison white men or when banks use discriminatory lending practices that harm minorities. If you don't then by all means feel free to use this:
