Trippin'!

Sammy Who?

For years people were upset with Michael Jackson because he bleached his skin. Especially black folks! As a result of the skin bleaching, people assumed that he was ashamed of being black. After his death however, we found out that he suffered from Vitiligo which is a condition in which your skin loses melanin, the pigment that determines the color of your skin, hair and eyes. The fact that Mike was so self-conscious of his looks anyway that he didn't tell the public of his condition and just bleached his whole body. Therefore, people jumped to conclusions. Now that we know the truth he couldn't have been ashamed of being black right? Wrong, because his kids look like they belong to Justin Timberlake and Wilma Flintstone. Everybody acted like they couldn't see the 800 elephant standing in the room but he was standing on my foot!

First Mike, now Sammy Sosa? My man has jumped off of the deep end too. He was recently seen at the Latin Grammy Awards looking like Babe Ruth! He's bleached his skin and there's no medical reasoning for it. There was speculation that the steroid use may have caused his skin to lighten but that simply isn't true.

"It's a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and whitens my skin some," said the former slugger during the "Primer Impacto" program at the Univision Spanish network. It's a cream that I have, that I use to soften [my skin], but has bleached me some. I'm not a racist, I live my life happily," said a smiling Sosa during the interview.

What? Man Sammy is trippin' big time! I wonder what his mother or most importantly, Big Momma has to say about this! Now let's keep it real or all the way 100, which ever comes first! Everybody's got a Big Momma whether you call her that or not. Depending on where you're from you call her Grammy, Mamaw, Nanna or Madea. The Latin word for grandma is Avia. I'm not sure what the slang term is for her, but I know it ain't "I'm happy to see my grandson looking like A-Rod now!" I can tell you that bruh!

After all the sacrifices the old folks have gone through to get you to this point? Man he better not show up at the crib looking like Neil Diamond unless he's Neil Diamond! Can you imagine what his daddy or homeboys are saying about this dude? The skin cream is bleaching it bruh? How stupid does this guy look? He looks like he's on his way to the Land of Oz to ask the Wizard for a brain.

First Sammy forgot how to speak English when he received a subpoena from congress to testify in the steroid hearings. Now he's looking like Patrick Swayze in the Ghost. That's what you call having too much money and time on your hands. I think there should be a rule that if you're going to retire from professional sports you've got to see a probation officer ever 3 months just to make sure you aren't doing something stupid.

Now this is only the first trip that we’ll see from Sammy. The next time we see him he'll have his ears pointed and his shoes sticking straight up in the air looking like one of Santa's elves robbing kids at the mall!

Holla At Ya Boy!
