Hey World,
Check out this article from mediatakeout.com. This definitely deserves a SMH. It shows some really tacky, tasteless Halloween costumes. The only one I really like is the Amy Winehouse one. Someone should shoot the guys wearing the WTC costume. They must not be from New York City, because you know if they were, they would have had their asses kicked. The Virginia Tech guy should also get his ass whupped for that costume. He must not be living in Virginia. Besides the two obvious troll costumes, I am also angry at the boy dressed as a suicide bomber/terrorist. I am not as disturbed with the dynomite attached to his body as much as the headdress he is wearing. I guess he wanted to make it obvious what kind of people he thinks are suicide bombers. SMH! I'm telling you, people learn racism when they are young and when they are at home. It just makes me sad that the boy's parents let him go out dressed as that like it's a joke. I mean, maybe his parents didn't know, but I doubt it.

SMH (Shaking My Head) 10/26/07
Hello World! I am back after a long hiatus, and I am fiercer than ever. First off, an article care of AOL's Black Voices message boards:
Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder has reportedly admitted he didn't know people spoke English in London.
Miami Dolphin Channing Crowder
The NFL player might want to check a map before he gets on board a plane for Sunday's prestige game against the New York Giants at Wembley Stadium.
Crowder, from Atlanta, may be praised on the field, but confessed geography was not his strong point.
He admitted he didn't know until Tuesday where London was - or that they spoke English.
"I couldn't find London on a map if they didn't have the names of the countries," he said.
"I swear to God. I don't know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I learned that.
"I know [Washington Redskins linebacker] London Fletcher. We did a football camp together. So I know him.
"That's the closest thing I know to London. He's black, so I'm sure he's not from London. I'm sure that's a coincidental name."
The Miami Dolphins will play New York Giants at Wembley this Sunday in the first NFL regular-season game to be played outside the USA.

As someone said, I am sorry that it had to be a brother (double SMH!)! And even worse, he is from the South. Now while I know that many people from the South are smart, Crowder certainly isn't helping change THAT stereotype! He not only makes Blacks and Southerners look bad but also Americans in general. British people as well as other Europeans are going to read this and think,"See, I KNEW that Americans were this dumb!" And I think that SKY news talked to this man because they had a feeling he was going to say something ignant like this. What a dummy.
