Not cognizant enough of the happenings and such
So quick to dismiss them as utter ramblings
and meaningless
Yada Yada Ya’s
Amidsts a revolutionary’s jumbled train of conspiracy theory thoughts
& you, “Coon”

However,
your anger does not turn hot until a Peckerwood adds the “E-R”
to
Nigg-ER
My Nigg-Ah
But I still have these tickets!
Get em before they’re gone
Jigaboos
Coons
& Negroes
I invite you to enjoy The Minstrel Show you’ve created for me
Signed,

Hot! My favorite lines:
“Yes…//THIS is Black Entertainment.
or is it Just Another Minstrel Show?”
and
“However,
your anger does not turn hot until a Peckerwood adds the “E-R”
to
Nigg-ER
My Nigg-Ah”
Very relevant work lady. I literally had to explain to my 13 year old mentee yesterday why some people found the twin Transformers in the second movie offensive. (Can’t believe this commercial actually existed –> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCoHoPoiSAE –> they were the two who actually transformed)
He (my mentee) thought they were funny, I want him to read your poem and think about it for a second.
And I had to show him the studios reaction to people being upset about the twins ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh2Bc6O5MEA ) — they basically replaced the black robot stereotypes with similar cars who had heavy British accents in the 3rd movie.
I’d say they noticed all the fuss ( http://www.blackamericaweb.com/?q=articles/entertainment/movies/28689 )- making your poem all the more relevant to me.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Love! And thank you for dropping knowledge on your mentee. That’s exactly why I wrote this piece. I was fed up with people using the word “cooning” to describe having a good time or going to act ignorant. Words have meaning, we are being watched, and you’ll look up and Oprah will be created in China as “Welcome you gold digging bitch!” Our society has the tendency to simply accept things & write people off who do take notice and raise a fuss. The world is a stage.
