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 complete with little girls present, sick dogs on you, take their jobs back, and hang you. This was their 19th and 20th century forms of whup ass. I have read what those White South Africans were working on. I do not want to think about what kind of 21th century whup ass they may have waiting for us.

So for all you Black folks planning your Obama home meetings and Inauguration parties. Don't! They already 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 a Socialist Moses who will visit plague after plague upon them. 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 a Socialist Moses 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. Mary gave birth to a pretty fly white guy.

Joseph, was one guy in need of a Maury Povich. We, the Black folks, are in need of a little under the radar behavior. 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 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 my last words will not be, “Forgive them Obama, for they know not what they do .”
