PSA ANNOUNCEMENT

THIS IS NOT A MAN BASHING SOCIAL CLUB, LESBIAN COALITION, OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE…. This is simply a movement of awareness for my sisters of every race, nationality, religion, and creed about this epidemic that has been plaguing our communities across the nation for decades. Please, read this public service announcement carefully… There is an epidemic currently plaguing the population of the black male population. It is an affliction that has become so common, mature black women are able to diagnose a man with it at first glance. It’s called “Ain’t Shit Syndrome”. And while there are proven treatments, there is no cure at the present. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this syndrome, allow me to break it down. It would probably say something like this if listed in the latest edition of a medical dictionary: Ain’t shit (adj): [eynt-shĭt] 1. Term used to describe a black male exhibiting behavior such as laziness, unwillingness to work, frequent/habitual weed smoking, disregard of commitments, abusiveness, ignorance, cheating, lying and other similar negative behavior a. An A.S.S. nigga is generally a negative human being 2. denoting a man usually very attractive who can’t/ won’t get his act together; also very good at deceiving women into believing he is better than what he truly is 3. overall triflin if you are with a man who shows signs of having being an A.S.S. victim, encourage him to seek help immediately as this can also be detrimental to your health. With the right treatment, your man could possibly: -get off his ass, -get a job, -offer to pay for some things, -return phone calls, -educate himself, -stop creepin around, -and maybe even put a ring on it. Potential side effects include -no change at all -short term change only, -worsening behavior, -or termination of the relationship. Ladies…keep in mind…even with help, A.S.S. niggas are incurable. Long term remission is possible however, there is always a chance it could return. If it does prove successful and your man enters the “reformed dog (remission)” stage, keep a watchful eye in case any signs of A.S.S. return. In this event, you may want to seek the advice of a trusted girlfriend to help you determine if a second trail is worth it. Continuing a relationship with a man suffering from being an A.S.S. victim could cause on your behalf: -Extreme stress -emotional pain -credit card debt -exposure to a STD -unwanted drama or worse Weigh the benefits and risks before deciding to undergo this process with your partner. In an effort to find a cure, we encourage all women to stay away from any man diagnosed with Ain’t Shit Syndrome. Although we are desperately in search for a cure, it appears none is in sight.
