His Name is Clarence...
The very first thing Clarence said to me was,"A Empty Barrel Mek The Mos Noise"....that means that an Ignorant person says the Dumbest Shit...just to get attention.I have to agree with him 100 percent on this one. . Clarence doesn't seem too upset or bitter about his situation at all ...I would be embarrassed about smelling like a possums ass,before i was worried about the begging .But ,that's my opinion!
I want to tell you a little bit about Clarence...He is about 6'7" and about 167 lbs and he looks about 67 years old ...oh yeah and he looks like he hasn't taken a shower since 1967! This dude is so funky , he has outside funky! he is so funky..his shadow told him to take a shower! I saw A dog walk by him and held it's nose...Ha! Okay ,let me stop tripping about his B.O.,because his breath ,will make you search for a fart to smell! His breath smells like he just ate a "Shitty-Snack" and i am not exaggerating to be funny. He has one row of yellow teeth at the top and a row of inter-racial teeth at the bottom,those are black and yellow! Don't get me wrong ,i like ol Clarence,but his body and breath will make your head cold disappear. He always wears this black torn and tattered t-shirt ..with some camouflage pants and some 225 dollar Tims ,that he got from his nephew.(whose name he won't reveal) Okay,enough about the bad, here is the funny about Clarence.
Clarence told me that he was once a star Basketball player for the Atlanta Hawks and i had to really go back in my memory banks to see if he was being truthful...well i'm here to tell you ,that he was lying his musty ass off! I had a few laughs with him about that ,at which time he simulated posting me up . Oh My Goodness!! I swear this kneeGrow,put his arm in the and waved all the funk around ,like he just didn't muthafuckin' care. I bought Clarence lunch on this day because ,well , because he made my day. Why not make his day right back.
So if you see a tall ,skinny,quiet,sleepy,dirty,hungry,Rainbow Coalition Teeth having ass KneeGrow ,across from the West End Mall...Give him a dollar and i will pay you back!

From West End to The White House...(Herman Cain)
I am a Lover of information and i want to be in love forever. The greatest relationship ,that i have had in my life is with the beautiful wombman ,named as Knowledge. I have always said that if i don't know ,then i will find out. I especially love moments when i can say "WOW,I DIDN'T KNOW THAT"!
I learned something that i would like to share with you today,because this is that day . I didn't know that Herman Cain graduated from MoreHouse College and his Beautiful wife,graduated from Morris Brown. This is significant to me and is a great article for Krackie -Tales because of course these Institutions are located in the West End . I have promised to deliver you all things West End ,i said The Good, The Bad,and The Ugly...this is the good. I know that it is difficult for us as African-Americans to support anyone Republican,but the sound of a MoreHouse Man in the White House sounds very good to me.
The Herman Cain Story...
Herman Cain was born Memphis Tn. Dec.13,1945, to Lenore Cain(Davis ) and Luther Cain Jr., who was a Barber,and Janitor ,as well as a chauffeur ,for Coca-Cola President Robert Woodruff. He describes his childhood as an impoverished ,but happy childhood, as he was growing up on the West Side of Atlanta, Georgia. Mrs. Cain ,instilled a philosophy , that Cain still lives by today. She always told her children that,"Success wasn't a function of where you start materially, but what you start out with Spiritually". That bode well for Cain as he met everyone of life's challenges head on,including his battle with Cancer in 2006.
Cain grew up in the the community now known as The Bluff,before his family relocated to the Collier Heights (Albert St.) Neighborhood. He serves as an associate Minister at the Antioch Baptist Church, a church he's attended,since he was ten years old. After graduating from Archer High School in 1963, he attended Morehouse College,receiving a Bachelors Degree in Mathematics in 1967. During this time in college , he met his now wife Gloria Cain (Etchison) of 43 years and they married upon her graduation in 1968 from Morris Brown College . Cain also received a Master's Degree from Purdue University in the field of Computer Science,with Honorary Degree's from Creighton University,,Johnson&Wales University,University of Nebraska,New York City Technical College, Suffolk University,Tugaloo College ,and additional honorary Degree's from Morehouse College and Purdue University.
Herman Cain isn't what i thought he was and i am ashamed to say that i was duped by the Media again. I may not Vote for Mr. Cain , but i will respect him, a lot more from this day forward. I wish him the absolute best with his campaign from here on and he is going to need our prayers . However, i believe , that he has what it takes to make the 2012 Presidential Election ,a principle of Roulette ....ALWAYS BET ON BLACK... this time around , you can't possibly lose. Now this is Change that i can Believe in! Barack Obama vs Herman Cain in 2012....Let's Go!

No Liquor Stores...
Just once ,i would like, to walk into a liquor store ,that is African-American owned and operated!!
I am not sure about this stat,but i will ,give it to anyway. THERE ARE NO BLACK OWNED LIQUOR STORES IN ATLANTA!! I have been searching and searching with no success. I know that i see African-American's in liquor stores and around liquor stores,begging beside liquor stores,cleaning and stocking liquor store shelves....just no owners! Why is this ? i have a theory ,that i would like to share with you.
First i want to give you my friend Ife's theory...she believes that it is political. We aren't being given the licence's to operate these types of businesses. I believe that we are simply not able to bypass our moral compass enough to venture into this business interest. i feel also that we are limited by our mindset's that we wouldn't be allowed to operate these stores, so why even try. I am convinced that a black-owned and operated liquor store would be very successful,but how many protesters ,would we have to battle before we can run smoothly.
I am aware of the detrimental effects that liquor and gun stores have had on the black community. I am aware of the social impact of another liquor store will make in and around the West End...i just need to try . I need to see if a black man selling beer and liquor feels like a black man selling crack. You know it's wrong ,you just can't get enough money. PING!! i just had an Epiphany as i was typing this post!! i will sell enough to get paid and then get out of the liquor game for good and go to college! lmao! It's legal and it shouldn't be and weed is illegal and it shouldn't be...no one will dare try and shut down a liquor store because every now and then ,most of us need a little nip...from the Pastor to Ol Lady Ms. Sadie...we all need some Courvosier every now and again. I am so sure about it that i am gonna do some research as soon as i finish this Blog Post.
i have a great feeling about this idea and if you try to discourage me ...save your breath! my mind is made up and that is not negotiable...i think. So who out there has ever thought about a Liquor Store...i will put it right next door to a Strip Club or Hotel...never near a school and never near a homeless shelter. Maybe i will put it in an all White Neighborhood and see if the experiment of social degradation and and erosion would occur...A judge would suddenly become a Pimp...A Politician would suddenly become a Murderer...a Police would suddenly become a Cop...(either way this is bad)...we can watch as a Priest becomes a Pedophile ...A preacher will start raping women behind his Church...or a Mexican Community..they will stop.....What in the fuck do they actually do ,besides work and Drink Budweisers and tequila ...then open up a Restaurant that i love to eat from or play a soccer game on a football field...i should place a liquor store at the Border...that will stop them from coming over into the States...they would be too drunk and float down The Rio Grande into the Gulf of Mexico...Whatever i decide to do ...i am ready for you Nation Of Islam and The KKK and you both work diligently to shut me down. One of you and i won't say which ,will probably burn my building down and the other will hold a peaceful demonstration and try to reason with me using the Koran . One of you will try to Bomb My house and burn a cross in my front Yard..the other and i'm not saying which one here, will sell bean pies and final calls out front ...i won't say which ,but i am ready for it all!!!
This has been a Krackie -Tales Rant...Much Love!

Bum On The Train...
It took me a while to figure out if this was crazy,funny,or scary...since i like crazy and i don't scare easily....i'm going with funny !
This one is on the Train from East Point , i am seated in the rear car as usual ,less stabbings and more seating back there.. everything is peaceful and normal while the train is at the station,but once the train started moving , this happened.
INT.MARTA TRAIN CAR - DAY
A BUM STANDS UP AND BEGINS TO SPEAK LOUDLY IN A CROWDED TRAIN CAR FILLED PEOPLE
BUM
EXCUSE ME FOLKS!
(RAISES HIS HANDS IN THE AIR)
I HAVE A REQUEST OF YOU ALL TODAY
I AM HOMELESS AND I ONLY NEED TEN
DOLLARS TO BUY MY WAY INTO THE
SHELTER TONIGHT!!
now mind you the Train is filled with people from different financial and social backgrounds and standings ,however we all shared one thing that the bum didn't..we were all black. i left out the fact that he was white didn't i? Well , he could have been Mexican or something, i couldn't tell ,because of the ten layers of street dirt that had built up on his body. so this is what i hear from the front .....
BACK TO :
TRAIN CAR - CONTINUOUS
A YOUNGER DUDE YELLS OUT FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR
BOY(O.S.)
(ANGRILY)
MAN SIT YO DUMB ASS DOWN!
EVERYONE LAUGHS AT THIS STATEMENT
The dude goes from person to person being ignored until he reached a young couple ,whom gave him the ten dollars and some extra money for food...i was thinking that it was such nice gesture by the couple until i saw that dude a couple of days later on a different train ,doing the exact same thing. He was working the East-west line this time and he was hitting up people headed to the Falcon's game...it was hilarious to watch him work...He is now a member of Krackie-Tales
