Rise of the River Rat, Race and Riots

       Greetings followers and new friends. After over a year of delays, court dates and growing pains, The Rise of the River Rat has been released. This is the Bio/Novel of the life and times of Tony Capps. Who is Tony Capps? This is a man who has lived a life that most can only dream of. His incredible story begins in the rough streets of South Trenton New Jersey, and has stretched across the globe.
       While all of us have stories to tell, I'm guessing they pale in comparison to the adventures of this heroic man. Tony Capps is a social philosopher and a true humanitarian. Your support would be greatly appreciated by purchasing a copy for the modest sum of 7.99. It's available on many different outlets online, in PDF and Kindle formats. I understand my writing has some grammatical errors. Its just the way I roll. No ghost writers here. When you read a Rodolfo Anzettie book or blog, you know its written by Rodolfo Anzettie.


                                                           Race and Riots


         The wealthy and brainwashed Americans have a united statement, "America is the greatest country in the world." This is mostly heard on propaganda networks like Fox News and conservative radio shows. In the simplistic minds of these fools, any mention of mistakes or improvements to this great nation is at worst, an act of treason. Or the statements of lazy socialists who are lost and misinformed. These words of ignorance are the genesis of my hatred towards the Republican Party and Corporate America. Granted they are 99%, one in the same.
         There is a reason why these people listen to poppy, non offensive music and have no balls. The same reason why they never watch independent movies or read self published books. The answer, conformity. In their world, if everyone dressed like them, talked like them, and most importantly acted like them, everything would be fine and dandy. And never, ever, bring up politics, religion, sex or the big one, race.
         Well assholes, some of us live in reality. And I'm sorry to tell you, America is a racist country. Gone are the days of slavery, the Tuskegee experiments and Jim Crow Law. However, the thought of a black person living in America sharing the, "Greatest Country in the World" belief, seems rather ridiculous.
          Don't agree? Well, I might be a little pissed if my parents weren't able to share the same bathroom, restaurant, school, etc up to the age of 21. The sight of them, and people like them being beat by cops and sprayed with water cannons while marching for these rights might irk me. Not to mention, my grandparents would look upon these treatments as a life of luxury. They would have been glorified indentured servants, who lived in a world where all white juries acquitted white men who murdered black men, women and children. The 3/5 of a man law in the sacred U.S. Constitution would be a tough one to handle. The thought of my father serving in Vietnam and returning to a country that doesn't allow him to sit in the front of the bus might cause some tension. Kind of like the American hero Jessie Owens, who went to Nazi Germany and proved the Nazis were not the superior race by winning gold. Then our hero couldn't attend the victory dinner because he was a darkie.
          Now I'm not just quoting the history books, I'm speaking on personal experience. I date black women. Thick ones, who sport a big ass.Yes, very scary. And no, I don't do this because I'm some bleeding heart liberal. Besides being attracted to them, I find their blunt honesty and strength to be refreshing compared to the uptight, phony, persona of Corporate America.
         Yes I have endured the stares and smirks that go along with having my partners be of a different skin tone. I have also experienced a handful of downright racist behavior directed towards us. One evening, my girlfriend and I were enjoying a number of drinks in a casino bar in Las Vegas. After a few hours, we were the only patrons, and security was taking a close look at us. Little did I know, all hell was about to break loose. I did the unthinkable, slip a crisp twenty dollar bill from my pocket and handed it to her. Just as I gave her this sum to buy another round, security swooped in as if they were executing a drug bust. They demanded ids, and suspected us of conducting an act of prostitution. If you think about it, these beliefs should have been rather ridiculous in the eyes of any sane security guard. What kind of sex negotiation lasts two hours? Better yet, culminates with a twenty dollar transaction?
         Racist abuse by law enforcement has been a part of America's culture since it's inception. The new age of cell phone cams and social media are beginning to shed a light on this. Despite racism being at an all time low, these incidents are being captured all over the country. This along with multiple deaths of unarmed black men have sparked riots.
        According to the right wing media, riots are carried out by angry, lazy, racist thugs, aka {the new word for niggers} The media fails to point out all the riots carried out by yes, white privileged college youths. You know, for important events like their school winning or losing the national championship. A coach being fired. Or riots by predominately white adults, when pro sports teams win titles. This is deemed as mischievous, stupid, sophomoric behavior or completely ignored. Then the Fox retards argue that we ignore the black on black killings. Well here is a little fact, the blacks who kill other blacks are not being paid to protect and serve.
         My final example is the viewpoint of these idiotic Christian Conservatives on President Obama. A better way to illustrate their ignorance is by pretending Obama was a white man named Billy. Now Billy was born into a poor, single parent farming family in rural Mississippi. Despite these disadvantages, Billy earned a scholarship into the ivy leagues. He graduated with multiple degrees from Harvard and Colombia. Billy taught law at Harvard and despite the many lucrative opportunities that comes with being an ivy league grad, Billy did a very Christian like move. He returned to his farming roots to help the poor farmers. He married and started a family. Billy entered politics and fought for the uninsured, poor, and working class Americans. He later became President.
         What a great story about a man who holds the Christian values and lived the American dream. Well, not so in the eyes of the right wing Christians. In their mind, Billy is the Anti-Christ. A terrorist who is from another country. A man who will destroy America. How can this be? Well, when you change his name to Barack Hussein Obama, and tint his skin, the true America rears its ugly head.
        Better yet, these so called Christians support a party that favors guns, war, cutting aid to the poor, greed, not caring about the uninsured, you know, the core values of Jesus. However, they are against gays and abortion so all is well. But it might stand in the way of the freedom talk you jackasses preach.
        I'm sorry if I offend you. Don't worry, I have heard it all. I have received emails from people calling me a pinko commie bastard, nigger lover, asshole etc. It's all good. Keep building your Armageddon shelters, watching Fox News and blaming rappers for society. Keep dreaming of the good old days when a smiling negro served you a happy meal. When your neighbors looked like you and pretty white ladies won Wimbledon. The days when men were men and your submissive wife stayed at home cooking dinner, while sporting a black eye.
        Ah, those were the days. The elderly remembers it well. Too bad Obama had to taint the White House. So the next time you good ol boys gather together for some hunting and reminiscing, I have a message for you. You sir, are the nigger.
