RE: More bad news from the “N” word front – Some comments on your article of 11/30/13 in the Miami Herald.

Mr. Pitts,

A fealty to George Orwell commands me to further define the “N” word. It is “the dreaded ‘N’ word, the word that White folk from creepy-assed crackers to heads up their asses modern American Liberals dare not use”. It is also the title of Dick Gregory’s great autobiography.

I have to tell you that despite your admonitions about not breaking ranks another Brother has catapulted himself into the dreaded Briar Patch.

There is a You tube video featuring the Reverend Dr. James Manning that has gone viral. It shows an undeniably Black man giving an unfavorable thumb nail view of President B.O. Suffice to say that whatever his favorite color is it is not plaid.

Let the record show that if a White man, particularly a White man with media access, had said anything remotely similar to what was said Reverend Jesse and Reverend Al would have led a crusade to where Reverend Manning lives. Forget about Saturday Night Specials. The weapons of choice would have been a flame thrower. In this endeavor the New York Times and MANBC would have been the tumescent cheerleaders urging mayhem and havoc. Collateral damage would have been collateral but understandably regretted.

You mention castration as part of the package that bring us to this sorry, not quite Helter Skelter state.

I would be remiss if I did not remind you of Jesse Jackson’s promise to “cut Obama’s nuts off”. You do remember that, don’t you? Is nut cutting to be judged by the race of the cutter or the cuttee?

Slavery ended when 600,000 White Americans, including a relative of mine whos is still there “wrapped in his faded coat of blue”, died to overturn the Dred Scott decision. This entitles me to bring my granddaughters to Gettysburg. When I do I will tell them that “the whole earth is the sepulcher of famous men”.

Speaking of language, it is now acceptable – the adage is “Silence gives consent” – to speak of raping the daughter of a politician with whom you disagree. Further, the politician should be raped, sodomized by an overly endowed Black male, and then have someone take a dump in her mouth before pissing in her eyes.

That falls under the category of pushing the envelope on the parameters of civil discourse.

Let’s all take a deep breath and remember the words of one of the President’s more illustrious ancestors. Perhaps he was one who profited from the other side of the slave trade. Of course, the possibility that all those poor souls voluntarily presented themselves for passage to the New World remains.
