You see I am white and anything I say would be construed to be either kissing the butts of my fellow black man, or deemed to be bigoted.
I'm certain you will understand.

I had a dream once. It was a dream that little black boys and little black girls would drink from the river of prosperity, freed from the thirst of oppression. But lo and behold, some four decades later, what have I found but a bunch of trifling, shiftless, good for nothing niggers. And I know some of you don't want to hear me say that word. It's the ugliest word in the English language.
The speaker was the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., revived from a coma and addressing a television audience in “Return of the King,” an episode of “The Boondocks,” by black cartoonist Aaron McGruder that aired on January 15, the eve of Martin Luther King day, a national holiday. The hour was late, but people were definitely watching, and not amused by the cartoon King's denunciation of “trifling, shiftless, good for nothing niggers.” The next night McGruder found himself on “Nightline,” where ABC's Cynthia McFadden tossed the cartoonist an underhand lob, right down the middle of the plate.

He does have one point. King would be shouted over in these times. The race hustlers he warned of have taken over.
What a surprise. He came from a middle-class background - hardly oppressed.
OMG! I've glanced at that cartoon while doing the crossword and thought it to be inanely political, but I had no idea!
The comic strip is a waste, but the cartoon TV show is hilarious.
I saw the episode and I think he was spot on.
What would MLK, who died in an effort to uplift the entire country, think of what passes for today's "black" culture? The show captured it perfectly.
Another artists draws the strip.
I don't know. I'll stick to ESPN and the History Channel.
Then I like THEIR style.
In other news, mobs of angry blacks did not riot throughout the country demanding the beheading of the cartoonist.
Help!
Help!
Help, I'm white and I can't get down.
God two left feet stuck on the ground.
That's from the Geezinslaw Brothers.
I knows what you means...was feeling kinda 'uppity' myself this am..cept Im not white...
;)
Were I black, I'd be uppity as hell.
Not at the whites so much, (that's understandable) but at the so called black leaders.
Growing up and being half Italian (Mom) and half Polish, (Dad) I have been called enough guinea, whop, daego, or stupid pollock, to last me a lifetime ... and all by my white bretheren. ;)
Correct me if I am wrong but the "white race" is the only race in the world where there are laws you cannot hire them.
Be happy it wasn't the other way around...think of the food.
He's guilty because he wasn't "oppressed."
Some people live to be insulted and offended.
Other than Fox News, I watch these shows - 24, My name is Earl, South Park (sometimes) and recently, Boondocks. Nice to know I'm not the only freeper with unusual taste...
Come to think of it ... you are so right.
When I was about 7 years old my dear Mother went to the hospital for a week. My Dad made baked beans (heated them) and we ate beans for the entire week!
I asked Dad, about the fourth day, why we were eating beans every night. He said ... "Because they are good for you".
My Dad is gone now, but we laughed about that for years.
Thanks, I've gotta go now. My eyes are blurry.
