I know I've lost my sense of humor and I've been a real grouch. I could feel it last night when I hung out with my brothers and Pops. But it's Friday, and although I'm about to launch into a huge debate, I'm going to try to chill out a bit. Nothing has aided that aim so much as a new blog that a thoughtful reader has just passed on to me.
It's called Respectable Negroes, and it took about 12 seconds to squirt milk out my nose. I say it now joins Hot Ghetto Mess and We Love Black People as the most hilarious sites in this vein. It's about time.
We are
3 black people whose friends got tired of hearing our daily rants, and
reading our many (and often forwarded) emails. Collectively, we read
too much, have opinions on everything, and have too many degrees--and
the debt to prove it. We are respectable negroes who are just a little
angry (and you know what happens when we get angry). It may appear that
we are the same, but as you will see, we are quite different. We often
agree, and we often don't. We be respectable negroes who will remain
anonymous for now, but there will be clues, tasty morsels of
information, that friends (and perhaps enemies) can use to find out our
gov't names.
Our Charter
Whenever
three respectable negroes,
heads of families, shall desire to settle on land, and shall have
selected for that purpose an island or a locality clearly defined,
...the Inspector of Settlements and Plantations will himself...give
them a license to settle such island or district, and afford them such
assistance as he can to enable them to establish a peaceable
agricultural settlement. The three parties named will subdivide the
land, under the supervision of the Inspector, among themselves and such
others as may choose to settle near them, so that each family shall
have a plot of not more than (40) forty acres of tillable ground.
Woohoo that's funny.
