Rascist tattoo redo

[slayer9019]

Be my pleasure...but you gotta come down here-they won't let me in Kanada!

I second that. I head into chicago every once in awhile for work and would be down for a small chicago meetup

[Dan S]

Anybody up for it, let me know and we'll figure something out.

Well, I go down to Bellingham, WA to get tattooed...But that's a bit of a way from Chi-town!

Actually do get into Seattle a few times a year. I'll fly you a kite next time I do. Was just there last month, so it will be a bit.

Lemme know if you'd like to get together. CTC is pretty central in the city, we could run up there or whatever. Get a date and save a buck, Nick, Mario, Mike, any of the guys there are definitely top-shelf.

Just say no, who gives a fuck if he gets mad or is asshurt. I dont do gang tattoos or racist tattoos. You dont have to do everything that comes in the door. We arent prostitutes.

I thought Dan S was a Republican and that we "shared a moment" when we were complaining about welfare recipients about a month ago in a thread.

Shows what I know. He traded stories during Happy Hour with every influential non-White since 1962.

Did you ever share some rum with Vijay Singh while Elijah Muhammed smoked a briar pipe and told you who REALLY killed Malcolm X? What a turn of events!

I'm just kidding. Those are some cool stories. I was only breakin' balls.

Actually, I'm so Republican I tripped on my own brain-happens when you grew up in the sixties and seventies. I said I shared some wine with Chi Chi Rodriguez, and that would have been rough, cause I doubt the Secret Service would have let me near him. What I meant to write before I brain-farted was Cha Cha Jimenez, who was the main shot-caller of the Young Lords at the time. My sister had an apartment at Halsted and Wisconsin, right where People's Park was, and the Young Lords were the only ones who would patrol the streets there. Got to know him fairly well.

Abbie Hoffman was, IMHO, a spoiled rich kid dabbling in leftist politics, tho' he did come up with a few phrases I remain fond of, most notably, "no matter which way you tip a pyramid, there will still be a point on the top, so the the only way to get rid of the ruling elite is to blow the top off."

The Panthers I met at their headquarters in Maywood, a.k.a. "Murderwood" around Chicago, and while I was by no means buds with them, I did hang around enough to get in on more than one bull session about politics and race-relations, as it is called now. In later years, I would come to know several lower-ranking members very well. Most of them were bank-robbers and thieves, dope-fiends and killers, who had a cause. Which one justified which, I don't know or care.

I did go to hear the Honorable Elijah Muhhamed speak once, at the Mosque Maryam, in about 1973. It was quite an experience to be, I guess, the only White in a hall of several thousand blacks, and to listen to the Honorable Minister call for the death of all "White Devils" Wouldn't have missed it for the world.

And Malcom X? Everyone knows Brother Malcolm got sideways with the other Brothers in his Mosque...

I like @Dan S. We don't share the same views on politics, but that's ok too.

Funny, i auto-corrected that in my head and knew who you meant...it just didn't quite sound right. Ha.

[Hunter Morrow]

I didn't really know how the golfer fit in with Abbie Hoffman and Elijah Muhammed, myself.

I guess I did the same thing when I wrote it, kinda like the late, great (first) Mayor Daley said, "listen to what I mean, not what I said"!

Cha Cha was a decent guy...the YLO were not people to take lightly, but I personally never saw him go out of his way to jack-over someone just passing through. LAst I heard he was in Michigan doing gang intervention after some time of fighting "sleep with the sun and rise with the moon" syndrome.

I agree......I like @Dan S ....I disagree with a bunch of his views but some I agree with... but at least hes not a bullshitter. Plus he likes guns and tattoos 2 things I like a lot as well.

[Dan S]

Thankgs, gents...I can only say I yam what I yam!

[Jason Lee]

congrats to dan for being well informed. I personally cant stand racism, but to hate on a symbol for what you view it as is wrong. if you dont want to do the tattoo, then dont. but you shouldnt hate on the symbol, it was around long before one crazy asshole used it to promote hate and intolerance.

racist tattoo redo- sounds like the name of a basic cable tv show..
