Ron Powers has just written an article called: “PC Insult To A Mark Twain Classic.”
Knew this was coming. Don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t say it, don’t read it. NewSouth Books–Dumber Than A Box Of Rocks!
Obama enters…Iago (Gibbs?) exits…Obama speaks:
“O now, forever
Farewell the Nation’s Jim
Farewell the Critical Thought!
Farewell the N word and R word and all words
That have made Affirmative Action’s virtue!
O, Farewell!
Farewell to those who speak
The people’s language with rude throats!
And Farewell, O, Farewell to all
That has been written
Of our Nation’s inglorious past!
Farewell!
Haply for I am black
I can command those Legions
Who will give the Kiss of Death
To past and present and future
Works of those who would(st)
Scorn the tranquil mind of content,
Betray the course that I as a toad
Have loved not wisely but too well
For the sake of Ambition
And of Conquest and of Plunder!
Farewell to the Mark Twains
And Richard Wrights and James Baldwins
And all who would(st) call me Moor
Call me Slave, hurl alienations
Before a Nation now corrected
Through the pomp and pomposity
Of Glorious War upon
Its own blackened History
That puts forever out the Light of Doubt,
Never to be turned on again!
Hope and Change?
Nay. Farewell!
Obama’s occupation’s gone!
