Subject: RE: BS: Bobert's Race Thread
Hey, are we havin' any fun yet? Didn't think so...

This is a tough conversationt but a conversation that none-the-less is way overdue in Anerica...

First of all, everyone who thinks that I try to sound black, raise yer hands. (Hmmmmmmm? That's a fair amount there, Bobert) Hey, Iz tried to explainerate this a couple times and ain't gettin' nowhere with it so I'll just go on record of sayin' " I ain't trying to sound like nobody but me!" **There, that is my official statement on the subject!!!** PERIOD!!! Don't think so, PM anyone who knows me personally an' they'll tell ya that I talk jus' 'bout the way I write... If any of you have a particular psycholgical need to think I'm jus' tryin' to put somethin' over here in Mudville then please fell free to nurture that need, take two Tylenol's and talk to a good counseler... Lotta poly-morphorse-perverse-guilt going 'round these days in Mudville...

Now as fir "repairations"... Yeah it's easy for someone to say, hey, I ain't responsible fir nothin' that grandaddy did... But lets look at it another way... Much of the wealth this country enjoys come from the labors of those who came before us and a disporportionate amount of the infastrccture upon which todays wealth is enjoyed was built by black folks??? Now fast forward and we still find a disporportionate number of balck folks living in poverty... Hmmmmmm? Now, I'm not gonna lay out a plan for repairation but would like for folks who have been the first to say "I ain't tesponsible fir what grand daddy did" to at least give their position on the issue a rethinkeratin'...

Niff fir now, I'm spoded to be out playin' with Mr. shovel...
