A New York State of Mind, by Michael Davis – Straight No Chaser #290 | @MDWorld

My beloved New York City has a law on the books known as “Stop and Frisk.”

In a nutshell, it means if a police officer suspects, for any reason, that you may be up to no good, then they can detain and search you. Guess who the majority of people being stopped are?

Black and Latinos.

OR, as they are known to NYC cops, niggers and spics.

Look, no matter how you spin it, that “law” is racial profiling. I thought Arizona was a fucked-up state, but it seems that the city I’ve loved all my life is just as bad.

I still have a residence in NY.

I still consider myself a New Yorker, or I did until now.

I never thought I would ever say this, but New York can suck my dick.

Really.

I really mean that.

I can’t be more serious. I’ve spent most of my time in L.A. since 1996, and I’ve never ever thought of any place as my home but New York. Am I embracing Los Angeles as my home now?

FUCK NO, I’m officially a man without a country. I’d rather claim HELL as my residence than Los Angeles.

FUCK L.A. and FUCK NY.

I think I have more white friends than Black friends. When I was married a zillion years ago, most of my groomsmen were white. David Quinn, Lovern Kindzierski, Mike Gold ,and Bill Sienkiewicz are like family to me, so I’m not speaking as a radical left wing Black fanatic.

I’m speaking as a Black man who sees the New York law as what it is — a racist attempt to keep Black and Brown people in their place.

Well, FUCK YOU NEW YORK.

My place is wherever I want it to be.

I’d love it if one of those motherfuckering New York lawmakers dared to come onto MY property. I will enforce MY law: it’s called “Stop and Piss.”

I will PISS all over their racist ass while citing my right to do so, because you are in MY space. I will continue to pee on you, no matter HOW wrong we both know it is.

Think about that for a moment. I’m a pretty accomplished guy. I’ve had 12, count them, 12 proclamations from various cites and organizations, yet on a whim I could be stopped, detained, and searched.

HOW the FUCK is that right?

Fuck YOU if you think it’s for the greater good. Hitler’s policies were for the “greater good,” so like I said, FUCK YOU.

I don’t own a lot of land, but the land I have is mine.

Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, if you are ever in L.A. you are welcome to my home, but just so I KNOW you don’t mean me any harm, I’ll have to pee on you.

You understand, right? It’s for the greater good.
