Long drive yesterday so I spent time scanning the dial looking for something interesting. I came across American Urban Radio. They were interviewing a scholar who claimed to have a doctorate degree. The following statements and paragraphs were all taken at face value and endorsed by the host as absolute truths.
1. George Washington was not the first president, he was the eighth. The seven before him were black.
2. The Statue of Liberty was originally a black woman, but when we got it the white folks sent it back to France to get its face redone to be white.
3. At the beginning of the revolutionary war there were more white slaves than black so the British set them all free to fight. That's how slavery became a "black thing"
4. White folks found Eden, and they discovered the bones of Eve but they won't let anybody know about it because she was black and Eden was in Africa.
5. Noah's Ark was actually discovered in Africa and authenticated.
6. Moses and Abraham were both black and from central Africa.
7. AIDS was invented in a laboratory and intended to be used to kill Castro, but when that failed it was taken to Africa and injected in people there.
8. Insurance companies have had a trust for more than a hundred years and if you speak out against them, they will kill you. All diseases have already been cured, but the insurance and pharm companies don't want to lose the profits.
9. George Bush was a "choke freak" and his wife didn't like that. It's why she moved out on him and lived in a hotel the whole time he was president. But Condi Rice liked to be choked. She and George were all up on each other. The fat cat bankers knew this, and knew he didn't want it to get out. They used it as leverage to get what they wanted from the government.
10. The US plane that flew over the Statue of Liberty that time wasn't really Air Force One, it was a flying laboratory that was making death gas.
11. The head of the RNC is nothing but a "black Sambo" and when he gets out of line the powers that be tell him "niggah, please."
12. While it's not cool to advocate violence maybe we ought to cut that 22-year old black guy in Mississippi who killed the 67-year old white supremacist some slack. He was a mean dude and the world is probably better off without him. Maybe it wasn't necessary to torture him and burn him alive, but taking people like that out of this life isn't really a bad thing.
There was much, much more.
Please don't ever say anything to me again about anything you may consider racist coming from me. Had Rush, Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Larry King, Keith Olbermann or any other white newscaster said even one of those things they would be hounded off the air. Imus was fired for making a crack about nappy heads.
