I originally launched with a blog titled Podunk Raleigh which was meant as a slap in the face to those who seemed to feel that if we get enough restaurants and white people downtown, we'll have a real city.
But, since hard-edged commentary doesn't play so well in small towns like Raleigh, I decided to go along to get along and launched Raleighwood, NC as an attempt to build some bridges with locals, especially with Raleigh bloggers cause I'm all about this blogging thing. However, as you can see from the sidebar, I've had very few people commenting and, though it turns out some other bloggers were watching, I had no idea that was happening until after I decided to focus my energies elsewhere.
Since I still wasn't really feeling Raleigh and didn't get much positive support for trying to become a more positive human, that seemed like the best choice. But that darn Matthew Brown had to go and educate me about this School Board issue and even convince me to try politeness as a tool of discourse. However, after politely speaking to the Resegregationist 5 at the December Wake County School Board meeting about how they ran the risk of destroying Raleigh's brand, I realized that they are part of a nationwide move by Republicans and allied scum who will never accept the bipartisan outreach of people like Barack Obama.
And if they ain't listening to Barack, they sure ain't listening to me!
So, I decided that if I was going to express my anger in a public forum, what better topic than the resegregationist's attempts to abuse poor kids with self-serving moves.
And when you're dealing with that kind of evil lurking behind soft white faces, you have to use extreme measures to strip off the mask and reveal the sickening rot within.
So, Raleighwood, NC is transforming its olive branch of peace into a sharpened oak stick hardened in an urban campfire.
Art Pope, I'll eventually have your eyeballs on that stick, metaphorically speaking, of course.
Unfortunately, because this sort of foul being has difficulty with reading comprehension, I'll have to undermine some of my work by clarifying statements like "have your eyeballs on that stick."
Honestly, if that was literally my plan, I wouldn't have a blog. I'd have a stick with Art Pope's eyeballs on it cause he can't be that hard to touch.
But that ain't happening. This is an artistic/editorial endeavor. You know, parody, satire. Oh, just go google it.
Now my only question is, do I go more with a lance to take out his eyeballs from a distance or would a short stick be a more satisfying choice?
Stay tuned and see, kids!
Newcomer? Welcome to Raleighwood, NC, where watching heads roll is almost as entertaining as watching 20 something white kids wander around downtown, oblivious to anything other than their own needs.
