Growing up in Brooklyn and attending a predominantly all white school a lot of my white friends had Caribbean nannies, which is common of course even outside of Brooklyn but I never thought too much about the kind of impact this must have had. Well here is the outcome- a young white Urban Chameleon girl is born!
AWWWWWWWWWWWW SNAP! This little white girl kills it!

A Hasidic Jew Dutty Whines da Hips?
by today's Urban Chameleon contributor
It had been several years since I last attended the annual West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn. Not much had changed. Yesterday marked its 42nd anniversary and close to 3million people were in attendance representing from all over the Caribbean…even little doggies.

Oh and then there was Mayor Bloomberg and Senator Chuck Schumer-
who we were trying to get an interview with to ask each of the men what “moves” they had picked up at the parade but we couldn't get close enough beside Brooklyn cops will shoot yo' ass (none of them looked pleased to be there- oh well- it's OUR day)
However, on our way walking to another food station to pick up some more rice and peas and jerk chicken we did come across this one (what someone in the crowds referred to) Hasidic Jew doin’ a dirty dutty wine with a crew of Jamaicans.
I know it’s a festive time people but ayayayayayayay- something about this image reeks of slave residue for me. I mean...I know Jews were enslaved too but...ayayayayay

Venus and Serena Williams Dance Off
Urban Chameleon news
I was just watching ESPN talk radio and where they showed footage from the DIRECTV ESPN US Open Experience, a free tennis exhibition and USTA clinic at New York City’s Bryant Park) of Venus and Serena Williams to what appeared to be break dancing on the tennis court! You have got to love these sisters. Unfortunately I cannot find the same video online but found some of the other "dance off" footage on the same court. People were cuttin' it up out there.
In more news, it was announced Tuesday that the tennis stars are joining Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez and Gloria and Emilio Estefan in becoming limited ownership partners in the National Football League’s Miami Dolphins, making them the first female African-Americans to hold an ownership stake in a NFL franchise and two of the few African-Americans league wide.

Yesterday’s Newsweek Post
by today’s Urban Chameleon contributor
My girlfriend and I were reading yesterdays blog post Caribbean Country Side Bafoonery here at Home of the Urban Chameleon. We too were talking about that daggering story that we also read in Newsweek. I think we were more upset that we were getting put on to the latest about our culture from Newsweek!
After moving out the ‘hood, it reminded us that we actually need to visit the ‘hood more often than just getting our hair done. Spend a little time taking back in the rhythm of the streets, find out about the latest hip hop and dancehall mix tapes from Abdul on the corner, while eating a beef patty with coco bread and taking some ackee and salt fish to go. Pick up those priceless and price conscious groceries that these higher end supermarkets either don't have or charge an arm and a leg for like Bustelo!- there is no reason this coffee should be $7.00 when it’s 1.99 in the ‘hood! Hey maybe even see the weed man, go to the park and light up that dutchy and chug a 40ty for old time sake. Let me stop, I was drinking White Zinfindale even from back then with the dutchy.
As Urban Chameleons no matter where we go we owe it to our selves to always keep that one foot in the ‘hood ‘cause we should never be finding out about the alleged broken penis' of our brothas as a result of daggering in media first.
