In the age Obama:
We shouldn't make White folks nervous.
“They promised us 40 acres and a mule. What they gave was the east
coast the west coast and all the land in between. Alaska and Hawaii, in the form of one Barack Obama.” As the announcer
finished his proclamation. My friend said, “I am glad he won, but that kind of stuff is going to make the White folks
nervous.” He was correct and a cold shiver ran down my spine. For if there is one thing a Black person in this country
should know, is that you do not want to make the White folks nervous. Because in no particular order they will beat you, steal
your land, burn your business, burn your house, bomb your church, bomb little girls, sic dogs on you, take their jobs back,
and hang you. This was their 19th and 20th century forms of reparations. After reading what those White
South Africans were working on. I do not want to think about what kind of 21th century reparations they may have
waiting for us.
So for all you Black folks planning your Obama, 'Change is Coming
House Meetings' and or Inauguration parties. Don't! Some White folks think he is a terrorist leading a silent army out to
destroy truth, justice and the American way of life. You do not want White folks thinking you are messing with their American
way of life. Trust me, it makes them nervous.
You should also stop selling and wearing those Obama t-shirts. Because
in some White folks eyes, Obama is the second coming of Hitler. They see those t-shirts as Brown Shirts and SS uniforms. You
really do not want to be a Hitler supporter in America. It makes the the White folks nervous, the Jewish folks nervous. I
am pretty sure it makes every body in America nervous, even the the White Supremacist. That is some serious nervousness, so
quit with the t-shirts. Please!
After you have removed and properly destroyed those t-shirts. For
the love of all things White folks don't fear, take all of those Obama yard signs down. You see, some White folks see Obama
as the Moses of Socialists, who will visit plague after plague upon them. He has already defeated their knight in shinning
armor and sent America's sweetheart back to her frozen tundra. They are nervous, they see those yard signs as lamb's blood
on the door step, and when Obama is sworn in. Half the money in their bank accounts will disappear and find its way into the
pockets of, well, Black folks with Obama yard signs. Why do they believe this? Because that is what the Moses of Socialists
would do.
Now the last thing we Black folks must stop doing is speaking with
pride about Obama. Because some White folks seem to think he is the Messiah and we worship him. You know how serious White
folks take their images of their Messiah. For over a thousand years their Messiah has been Snow White's brother, complete
with blue eyes. Maury Povich to Joseph "You are not the father!" Because Mary gave birth to a pretty fly white guy.
We, the Black folks of America, are in need of a little under the radar
behavior when it comes to one Barack Obama. Because some White folks have made Obama. A 21st century Hitler, Socialist
loving terrorist who acts as if he is God. In other words they have made him all the things they fear the most, and that makes
them nervous and that makes them angry.
To quote the great philosopher of our times, “Fear, anger these
things lead to the dark side.” I, for one, do not want to experience the only dark thing in some White folks life. Why!
Because I do not want my last words to be, “Say hello to my little friend.” For my last words certainly will not
be, “Forgive them Obama, for they know not what they do .” I will not be that forgiving!
