It is Friday and I am happy that this week in American politics is almost over. One of the things that has bothered me is the underlying current of racism in this election cycle. In an effort to bridge the racial gap for my readers, I would like to present my humorous take on the ridiculous notion that a Harvard educated, United States Senator is going to drastically change this country.
So, for your reading, I present my…
Top Ten Reasons Why Some White Folks Fear President Obama
10. Thanksgiving – Oven-basted Turkey changed to Fried Chicken and Collard Greens
9. Black folks will finally get their 40 acres and a Mule (a Condo and a BMW)
8. A rap version of the Star Spangled Banner by 2Pac

6. America turns into Janet Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation”
5. People will finally have to know what Kwanzaa actually means

This post was meant in good fun. Please feel free to add any comments you may wish to share with the rest of the group (as long as it is civil).
P.S. Thank you to my students at Towson University for helping with a few items on the list.
Have a great weekend!
White men will be forced to learn to dance.
Here's #12: The White House will be painted gray, since Obama had a black dad and white mom.
Oh Honey, no.
btw, Tupac Shakur died 12 years ago. Try Lil Wayne; he's very current.
#13 Instead of America we will become the “Obamanation”!
#14 Minorities- especially those on welfare will be given one time bonuses to reproduce, which will be subsidized by whites in order to ensure the 2012 election.
#15, Everyone will have to get gold death and dreadlocks.
#16 belts will be outlaws so that everyone will have baggy pants.
#17, The Pimp my Ride guys will go a make over of the Presidential Limo.
#18 Jay-Z will be the new chief of staff!
319 WH chef will be forced to learn to cook chitlins for official dinners.

I think serving people from other countries Chitlins would be a violation of the Geneva Convention on Torture.
#20 Louis Farrakhan will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom
As a Black Southerner with a broad spectrum of connections, I can assure that at least our new overlords, the Chinese, eat the same food: pig's feet, chicken feet, chitterlings (correct spelling), etc. They just have different seasonings. Now that I think of it, five spice would be good on chicken's feet.
#21 schools will stop playing soccer and lacrosse and they will be forced to play basketball.
Tupac being dead 12 years does not seem to be a barrier to him putting out records. He's the hardest working dead man in the music biz.
janinedm,
Desserts made by black southerns are much better than desserts made by the Chinese. Remember, never order dessert in a Chinese restaurant but always save room for Sweet Potato Pie.
I don't know if I'd actually eat in China– after all you'd never know if Fido or Whiskers were the secret ingredient instead of MSG!
You're crazy, SD. Those red bean paste balls covered in sesame seeds are delicious.
