I hate New York, lol

I hate New York, lol

obama michelle cover

Obama oh obama

Where have to been

Just listen to the talking heads

On cnn, on the huffing ton post, on

The drudge report and so on

Just listen to them

Discussing

The obama Cartoon

On the cover

Of the New Yorker magazine

Just Listen

The liberal talking heads even

Including Jim Carville

Say hey

It’s just a cartoon

Bill Bennett

right-winger says its offensive

Republicans are saying it offensive

What’s going on here?

Oh that’s right

They come from a less informed

Part of the country too

Anyway so far

I have gotten three emails

From my ...............liberal New Yorker friends, lol

Who think that the ad is cool

They said hey stop whining

What’s fair is fair

What ever……………………

Some say hey they did it to Hillary

So .....................why not obama

Others say we are just too thin skinned

Who us colored folks………..

I am not kidding here

And every one is certainly entitled to their opinions

But

Here is my take

I love New York

Up to a point

No offense

There are too many people there

It’s a city that never neglects

To remind me of what I don’t have

Too much food, too many sights

I am just too much of a coon

To really understand appreciate

And most of off to be able to afford all of this

Information and intrigue

Hey I am a jersey boy

I have to settle for beautiful beaches

A Brazilian restaurant or two

The sopranos Sara Vaughn, frank Sinatra,

Melba Moore ….go figure

Anyway

Down home folks

I am

We are

Outsider after all

Outsider of New York

Swing low………..

Where was I?

The New Yorker magazine

And I know that us

New Jersey hillbillies

Might not be sophisticated enough

To even understand the implications

Of such a witty, satiric cartoon

Did I spell it right?

But let me state the case of many

The many other people

In the world

Who were not blessed enough

To be molded to the culture and the class

That New York provides, so many privileged few, lol

On a daily basis

Almost new Yorkers

Hey I live in jersey

20 minutes from New York

It’s Almost New York

Forget that

The New Yorker

And the obama magazine

I thought that it was not even a particularly good illustration

But look

And this will piss off many of my friends

I am a colored man

Imagery is every thing to me and mine

Their has never been a black man

This close to the presidency

So please excuse me

I mean some of us enlightened ones

Will get this

Cartoon…

But for most of the ignorant masses

They will see

Just what they thought

The African warrior

And the Joanne chesimar

That’s what they will see

For most of those peons

That live and work out of New York

They will see just what they thought

Was in hiding

The Negro, the coon, the thug the revolutionary

They have been waiting for the nigga to come out

They know its hiding

In there

And some how

Some way

They know that obama is a rebellious slave

And his wife…poor thing

Even if you are sure about obama

You know deep down

That She is just a bitter hood rat

Waiting to mess up the china in the white house

Drop several more pickanies

So that the white house

Will look like

A ghetto day care center

And wait until obama's

African grandmother makes a trip

To the white house

Will she eat a rose or two in the garden?

All the while

Thinking them to be

Some type of strange fruit

Yea that skinny will embarrass the nation

In front of the world

That’s for sure

Anyway

This is what many of the ignorant masses

Must think

Or will be easy persuaded to think

I thought of it

After all

In any case

I said it once and ill keep saying it

Liberals will destroy bema

Sooner or later

Let me try this one more time

Hillary is

Was and always will

Be a privileged

White woman

I like her but lets not pretend here…………ok

She is part of the Kennedy mold

That blue blood mold

(I know she isn’t a blue blood.........duh)

That believed in giving back

I am not knocking this at all

In fact I thank god for these good white folks

But she is still

Alias

A white woman in America

Hillary

When and if she was being lampooned or attacked

In magazines in print or in person

It was by white men

Ill say this once…………more

Her father was a white man

This is a family problem

White woman

Still have tons and tons of promise

Compared to black men

Oppression is oppression

But their are differing degree's

I grew up with mammies on the television

With bulging eyes

And big lips

That was the image of my youth

So again

Excuse me

If the image has been updated again

Put on the cover of a very prominent magazine

I have to pretend

That I am sophisticated enough

That I get this ad

I do it in liberal company all the time

Pretend

As I swallow the bile

Bite the bullet

Bug out my eyes

And make thenm laugh

Laugh clown laugh

Got ya hummmmmmmmmmmmmm

I haven’t spoken to a person of color'

Today who wasn’t offended by

That cover

Pissed off

Now again this is coming from the outer world

Where so many of the misinformed preside

So I might again just be being sensitive

And talking to dumb folks…

But

Old jealous Negro ministers,

Old white used to be consumer legends,

Ex-Hillary supporters against obama,

And people whose sophistication has caused them to loose touch with the real world.

. Yes their are other worlds, below the clouds

Of privileged and enlightenment…

Oh I got some new images for my wall of shame

My wall is filling up

All of you

Shut the hell up

You know what

Every one

Just shut the hell up

And leave my boy alone

I will be Elbridge cleaver

Before this election is over

Ok

Maybe I will be him

After the panthers

Making funny pants

But, but ..............

The revolution

Will not be televised

Every one

Every one

Please

Just shut the hell

I
