File this one under black crimes. Sometimes you read a headline regarding crime and don't even have to guess the color of the perpetrators. This is one of those times. A black father and son, Antonius Hart Sr. and Antonius Hart Jr., went to Pirtle's Chicken in Memphis, Tennessee. On their way home they realized the fast food restaurant forgot to put the chicken wings they paid for in their order.

Needless to say, they turned right around and drove all the way back to the restaurant. The Harts pulled out AK-47s, yes, AK-47s and pointed them at the staff of the restaurant, demanding the chicken they ordered and paid, in addition to additional chicken as compensation. I have no words for this. First an Elvis impersonator in Memphis mails the president ricin and now this. Memphis is getting gansta.
Young Money rapper Lil Wayne was recently released from the hospital, after a series of serious seizures, due to the illegal street drug "sizzurp." Wayne made a video and released it to the public, thanking people for their prayers and support. Wayne has been trying to downplay the incident. Dude stop lying. You know you saw "the white light" (LOL). Trying to play it off like nothing happened. You know when you were in the hospital you heard "(See You At The) Crossroads" playing in the background. And this point, you guys really shouldn't expect more from me and this column.

In looking at the still photo for the video he released, all I could think was Wayne looks like the dead guy from "Weekend At Bernies" - a film about a man who died and his friends kept propping him up and dragging him around everywhere, trying to make people think he was still alive.

Yes, I know I'm wrong for that, but I'm just kidding. However, when Wayne is back to full health, I'm going to start clowning him over what he said about the Miami Heat. Take your vitamins Wayne, because it's going to be on like Donkey Kong over those Heat comments...
Side Bar: notice the comment in the video above about wanting to go to a barbeque. Black people and chicken are inseparable. Recently, a driver came to pick me and my mom up and I was eating lunch and wouldn't you know it, it was chicken (pure coincidence *wink*). The driver, who is a nice man, was white and there I was with a chicken wing in my hand thinking this is not going to help the stereotype at all about black people and chicken (LOL). But he was nice and jokingly asked why I didn't bring him any.
