How to Pick up a Girl

Posted by a Playah on a message board.

1. put in your mind that you are the baddest niccah in town.

2. get your hair cut.

3. buy some super nice cologne that women actually like. ask them.

4. put on some nice clothes (if you are a beginner, dont start with a suit)

5. target the finest bitch in the club. the finest is always the best to learn from.

5. learn to steer conversations. play over conversations in your head. have answers and comebacks at hand. always have some fly shit to say back-- it will either be considered funny or dead serious.

6. look a woman directly in her eyes when speaking to her.

7. do not ever tell a woman she's fine.

8. dont start a convo with "what do you do for a living". start it with something gritty, edgey "where your man at" (let the bitch hear that deep voice that nature has only blessed us-- the black man-- with). there's only 3 ways for her to respond. and only 2 ways you can come back: another question or a direct statement.

9. flash $$$ niggah-- buy the bitch a drink to give you an excuse to

10. never try to chain a bitch to you. disappear. your convo's should onlybe about 10 min long--

11. its time for the club to close. go back to that bitch and ask can you take her to that late-night restaurant up the street. you dont really care what the response is: this is a mask-convo to get the digits. although there is a greater probability she will say no (because she just met you). but if she says yes!-- be prepared to pay and its basically on auto-drive at this point. you couldnt even mess this up (you fucking and it will be tonight). if the answer is: no. then get the digits by saying with a big smile "well if its no problem, let me take you out to dinner next week". you are smiling because she's trying to see how you handle rejection.

12. if the bitch wasnt into you at all. well its time for the back-up (thats if you really want her). if you have a really nice car. go get it fast. drive by the bitch as she's walking out (with some slow shit on: r kelly is the man) and say in a joking manner: "you wanna treat a niggah like a lil stepchild, huh? come-on let a niggah take you out next week"

13. if the answer is still no. go home and think about the whole event. figure out what went wrong-- that eye contact that i told you about earlier, now plays for you. you can actually figure out what you said that crashed the whole agenda by remembering the look she gave with her eyes. next time, on a different female, you will be a whole lot stronger-- a lot more manipulative.the female that turned you down.... pffft. she is really making you.

Black on Black Crime

"Only when blacks take to their own streets, start snitching and declarethat they will not take it anymore will black-on-black crime decrease.As long as black criminals feel safe to ply their evil trade in blackneighborhoods, black-on-black horrors will proliferate. We blacks haveourselves to blame." - comment on the Yahoo! Black Conservativesusergroup, about apathy in many black American communities about crime

Hillary Clinton hires a sistah to take on Obama

Maggie Williams, a formal chief of staff to Hillary Clinton is now her new campaign manager. I guess Hillary feels the need to bring on a sistah to take away some of Obama's momentum. African Americans are coming out of the "woodworks" to support Obama.

Part of the Clinton's legacy was the support they had from the African American community. Can they regain that support in the future?

Barkley disses Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton

So I was over on Fox Sports and came across and article about Charles Barkley running for Governor of Alabama. It is not a big deal that he wants to run for governor. He mentioned this fact a long time ago in Playboy magazine. What is funny about it this go around is he stated that he does NOT want endorsements from Jessie Jackson and Al Shapton. Barkley stated, "I don't believe in them, they always play the race card, and you can't always play the race card."

Barkley was known for speaking his mind while he was an NBA star. Being very blunt was his claim to fame.

Super Tuesday

Today is Super Tuesday. GO VOTE for the candidate of your choice. The most interesting race will be on the Democratic side. Today is the showdown between Obama and Clinton. May the best person win!

Loving Yourself

While driving from across the country from the Gulf Coast to LosAngeles, I was scanning the radio and heard one of the most beautifulsongs I have heard in a very very long time. Tamia was singing about atransition in her life and how she was going to put herself first. Basically, she was breaking up with her violent boyfriend and was goingto start dating herself.

-chorus-

And her name is me,

And she loves me more than you'll ever know

And I finally see that loving you and loving me

Just don't seem to work at all

So patiently, she's waiting on me to tell you

That she needs love

And to choose between you two, boy you know

If I have to choose,

I choose me

The song is beautiful and demonstrates the importance of loving yourself.

In the real world, Tamia is married to Grant Hill. They seem to beloving couple. Gotta love that.

Another Brotha sweating a White Girl

These are words I heard from a Sistah when she saw these photos of 50 Cent drooling all over Paris Hilton. My first thoughts were...."STOP HATING" and then I realized that when 50 Cent is seen with African American women, it is either highly sexual or it is on the misogny side.

I don't know...maybe the Sistah was NOT hating when she made that remark.

7 Mistakes African Americans make with Money

1. Piling Up Debt Using credit cards responsibly can help you build good credit so you qualify for lower interest rates on loans. But charging your cards to the max and not paying them off is a sure ticket to trouble. Pay in cash instead to keep spending within your means.

2. Ignoring Murphy's Law Bad luck would have it that you’re involved in an accident the day after your auto insurance policy expires. If that happens to you, the financial fallout can be devastating. Be sure you stay fully covered with auto, homeowners (or renters ), health care and disability insurance at all times. And if someone else depends on your income, include life insurance.

3. Procrastinating on Saving In the world of investing, time can be your best friend. Thanks to the power of compound earnings, your chances of achieving financial independence shoot up dramatically when you start at a young age. By waiting even just a few years, you make it much harder to meet the same goal. So find a way to start today.

4. Free Money If your employer offers a 401(k) plan with a company match, make sure you take full advantage of it. Simply put, a company match pays you. If you're not contributing enough on your own to get the full match, you're giving away free money.

5. Not Using Cruise Control Basing your investments on what you have left over at the end of the month will get you nowhere fast. Instead, set up an automatic plan that takes money out of every paycheck. You’ll probably never miss the dollars you don't see.

6. Co-Signing for Loans to help Da Folks out Next time a friend or family member asks you to vouch for them on a loan, politely run the other way. When a bank requires a co-signer, it's because the person applying has no credible history of paying debts on time. If the person who received the loan is late on payments or simply doesn't pay up, you'll be responsible. And it could damage your credit.

7. Driving Upside Down in a PHAT ride. Let's say you buy an expensive new car and finance it for five years. Since new cars depreciate quickly, after a short time you may owe more on the loan than the car is worth — being "upside-down" on the loan. To get the most for your money, put at least 20 percent down or, better yet, buy used and drive it 'til it dies.
