Title: Take that, Detroit! Baltimore is King of All Dazzling Urbanites!
Post by: CountDeMoney on June 19, 2009, 04:54:45 PM
QuoteMayor Sheila Dixon of Baltimore, Maryland makes history signing the first "Proclamation Document" honoring June as National Basketball & Hip-Hop Culture Month for the City of Baltimore and its Citizens. Celtics and Lakers are the bookends of the 25-year history of The "Dunkadelic-Era" In America, 1984-2009.

Baltimore, Md. (PRWEB) June 17, 2009 -- The hoops and hip-hop culture fusion era born in 1984 is celebrating its 25th Anniversary (1984-2009). To honor the historical 25th Anniversary of the sports-and-music cultural celebration June 2009 was selected as the first National Basketball & Hip-Hop Culture Month (www.NBHHCM.org).

Mayor Sheila Dixon (D) of Baltimore, Maryland made history by signing the first "Proclamation Document" honoring June as National Basketball & Hip-Hop Culture Month for the City of Baltimore and its Citzens (http://www.nbhhcm.org/proclamation.pdf).

NBHHCM founder Derrick E. Vaughan says, "Its an honor and a priviledge to have this Proclamation document for the past, present, and future individuals who have been and will be influenced by the fusion of hoops and hip-hop. The recognition is historic for this generation."

Vaughan also says, "I hope that other urban cities around the country will join Baltimore and sign similar "Proclamation Documents" that honor June as NBHHCM for its citizens. NBHHCM is for all of America."

Urban cities.  As opposed to rural ones.

Honestly, a name like "National Basketball & Hip-Hop Culture Month" is so explicitly racist, it's not even funny; might as well have named it "National Lake Trout & Chicken Box Month" or something.

If I were a mooncricket, I'd be insulted.

I was going to say 'National Fried Chicken and Watermelon Month'.

Isn't creating a national month a little outside the purview of the mayor of Baltimore?

Well, shit.

Time to inaugurate National Polo & Lawrence Welk Culture Month.

Also, in that proclamation, she praises Run-DMC and Jam Master Jay as separate artists.  That shit ain't right, you.  What about Russell Simmons, the Sugar Hill Gang, and Warren G and the Regulators?

Shouldn't it be Little House in the Taiga instead, he lives in a forest not a grassland.

Apart from that incorrect map he produced earlier, his behavior hasn't been any worse than yours.

It was just a minor nitpick.
