THE ART OF
KEVIN BLYTHE SAMPSON

Is being Black out or in Obama and a changed view of and by the world

I had the most interesting
Funny discussion at the outsider fair
About black people in general.
It was pointed out in a laughing way
By my selve and others that black people are out.
That we are no longer exotic, or rare or mysteries.
I agree up to a point
Obama has affected every thing
But in a good way
It will affect how black art work is viewed
This Obama thing
But we were wrong and I knew it
As I opened my mouth
My prediction
Is that their will be a more serious scrutiny of African Americans
Because of Obama
In fact black will become big time in
Just not the old black
The world will try to understand this new silliness
Post black
No such thing
You can see on CNN
That they have added the comic dl hugely.
My perception is that he is a cool guy that talks the talk
And that can want to draw in not only blacks
But to let white get used to they way black talk and laugh and think
Black talk and walk is different but still American
It is the foundation of American hip
Do you know what I mean?
My prediction for the self taught art field
Is that it will now leave being stuck in old blacks from the south
It was take a more honest look at northern African Americans
And will let some of us northern Negroes in
The world now needs interpreters more than ever
So it can understand
Obama
Every time I hear they talk
About how cool he is
I think of how silly that is
To say that
He is a black guy
Cool is learned and practiced
And a given
We practice the way we walk and talk
And all of that
Or at least we used too
Obama
He couldn’t act any other way
He walks like a black guy that plays ball
It’s easy to see
He has the good sense this Obama
To utilize all resources
He is doing soul food
A little of this a little of that
With him it’s not about ego
He know he is smart
He knows who is smarter
Obama is a promoter
With a vision of his client
This vision will help him
Will steer him
So in closing
Black has never been more in
Just a different type of black
Thank you Jesus
Watch and see
Black is not out by far
Ghetto black is out
Shaking your ass is out
Ebonics is out
We can be what are really are now
Americans
Out, my ass
Smart Is in
Obama is cool
Like Malcolm was cool
Yes cool Like that
Get it
