The Buckwheat Chronicles



Today wuz uh fucked up day. Whats really getting me down iz going ta werk at some o' muh ma fuckin job sites, particularly, where dere iz lots o' "White" peeps going in, but Black peeps do dis here alot also at other swapmeet I werk. Except dat deez "White" peeps iz mostly well ta do, who'sbad-mouthing dem around they bosses? Do any o' dere bosses follow dem home ta they bedroom ta ax fo' sexual favors, lest dey smoke dere relatives? That seems ta be muh ma fuckin case deez days.

I know it sounds paranoid, but dey always come in an' diss me ta da clerk, who'sswapmeet I'm working in. Its like dey jet up ta da clerk sometimes an' whisper somethin' ta dem, it drives da clerk 'smadness, an' it bugs me cause its da ultimate in rudeness. Perhaps da customers see me has da rude one, but I'm not an employee at deez stores.

I know it seems ta be da height o' Paranoia, but its true.When deez peeps remark its usually over da happenings at da Oaks Hotel, da place I describe in muh ma fuckin other blog, where dis here troll, wuz sort o' harrassing me fo' sex.

My life has never been da same since. So know it uh probelm in places where I werk around da public, peeps sometimes insinuate, dat I had uh relationship wiff dat nig, or dat I'll be ganked by gangsters (therefore ya bettah not employ me here), or maybe da clerk should Ho me... I really hate peeps trying ta influence da client dere against me , has if I somehow did somethin' ta dem. Do I every jet ta deez peoples werk an' try ta cruize dem out o' bidness?

The only thin' I did at dat hotel , wuz try ta rent uh room. I got tired o' being harrassed, harrased by da po-po, jailed cuz o' uh particular tenant. I complained ta da State, dey helped alittle.Went ah wuz able ta ah moved out o' dere, I kind o' had too. As dis here one beotch said , has she left da swapmeet, prob'ly afta badmouthing me ta da clerk, " You should gots punk'd him".. I thought deez iz decent hard working citizens, but I th'o't da rights o' peeps dere iz most concerned wiff iz dere own. I th'o't most peeps in muh ma fuckin shit would gots done da same things I gots done, even worse. The probelm o' what ta do now, iz uh queshun?

Also taday, I stopped in uh Kentucky Fried Chicken fast chickn n` corn bread 'n cornbread place in da Fruitvale area o' Oakland. I jet into da swapmeet, an' has usual da see uh bunch o' Asians/Mexican/Indonesians working behind da counter dere. I realize dat deez iz teenagers o' mixed ethnicity working dere, dey need jobs too, but back in da day, African American teenagers wuz dere working. You hardly see any o' dem working in Fast Food places in dis here city anymo', da immigrant kids git deez jobs now.

I didn't gots uh probelm wiff it until taday, as usual I got uh little shoddy treatment , I learned why later. As I ate muh ma fuckin meal, uh group o' African American kids came in. I felt uncomfortable already, would deez kids harrass me, particularly wiff all da jive going on in dis here city about me da Bitch-hoe?. The kids wuz quiet. If I wuz dem, I'd would gots been alittle angry, afta all deez kids wuz prob'ly hungry, an' looking fo' werk an' prob'ly wuz satisfied wiff neither afta dey left dat place...I left da swapmeet wondering what on Earth can I do ta he`p dem?

Later dat night as I left muh ma fuckin job site, I walked down da main street (Telegraph) in Oakland looking fo' somethin' ta eat. Theres lots o' Asians, Korean restuarants dere now, where in da past dere weren't, an' da population wuz mostly Black. In places dat would gots had African-Americans working dere (like uh Church'sChicken place) now gots alot o' Mexicans working dere, not dat I gots uh probelm wiff latinos, but I would th'o't o' those kids I seen earlier, who prob'ly didn't gots werk. Those pimpz peep like dey just got here too just crossed da border. As usual dere wuz mostly African-Americans lining up fo' Chicken, as dey had great deals.

But I looked at da chickn n` corn bread , I looked at da Mexicans an' then I walked out.
I mean, here'san area o' Oakland wuz theres not ta many Latinos ,da Mexican'sgot uh nice bidness area in da Fruitvale District, now I;m way uptown. A nigga can't git uh job dere, partly thanks ta peeps like me an' other Negroes who will let nuttin' deter dem ,from getting uh piece o' Chicken!

Moving down ta da subway station in Oakland, pasted uh pizza shop frequented by lots o' White peeps (They do bidness wiff dere own?). There wuz lots o' peeps in dere but prob'ly not many blacks in dere. I seen one whitey nig walk out wiff two little negroid kids, But I mostly noticed uh couple o' blacks, one wiff uh kid circling da joint. As if dey wuz saying , "What about our kids?" what 'chew thinking man?
