Who is Blacker? Hillary or Obama?
Sara wondered, after hearing the tapes from the recent Selma.. Martin Luther King Jr gala!! Sara was puzzled by the accents of the Black Mrs.clinton, and the Black Mr.Obama.These accents were new to her ears!
Sara's common sense alarm is dinging!!.The gang have come up with a few common sense reasons.:
HANNA THE WISE: Well, they have been attending BLINGLISH classes. You may not have heard, that a school district has officially added Blinglish to their school curricula, in an effort to improve testing scores. By asking test questions in the language that young blacks actually speak at home, and in the streets, they feel they can put these young folks at ease, and improve their ability to comprehend the materials in the test. Perhaps, graduating to ESL classes later?
LYNN tHE DEVIOUS: OH, I believe Mrs. Clinton has the inside track on being an accepted Black person, because she was married to the first black PRESIDENT. If elected she would be the first BLACK WOMAN PRESIDENT!
JERRY THE MATHMATICIAN: Mr.Obama is only half black, and not African-American black, since his father is AFRICAN-AFRICAN.Color has nothing to do with it. Mr. Sharpton assures us that paying your dues as a black american supercedes color. I mean, Justice Thomas is apparantly really black in color, but does not count as a Black justice in the Supreme court...nor does Condi Rice count as the first black woman as Secretary of State, even though she appears to have Black heritage. So, yes, Hillary is blacker.
MELINDA THE SIMPLE: Jocelyn Elders counted as a Black cabinet member because she was a Democrat, Liberal woman who spoke BLINGLISH!!She was a caricature Black person, and so it was obvious to other blacks that she too was black. When blacks apparantly are confronted with dark skinned people that look to have black heritage, they have to wait for them to speak!! If they sound too educated, they can't be black, (with the exception of Harry Belafonte) so, the criteria is blinglish not heritage.
PORTIA THE PHD:(she was in school with hillary) No-one spoke like that when we were in school, but I am signing up tomorrow for my own "blinglish for Radcliff politicos-101".It's IN!!!
Sara is a little puzzled..The sun does not contribute to global warming, Mrs.clinton is Black, and Condi Rice is not!! amazing!!
