I was overjoyed and proud of
my people for building the African American History and Culture Museum in
Washington. It's long overdue if you ask me. But better late than never I
guess. Hum? Anyway, silly me, I told myself that I was going to take a trip up
to Washington with one of my female friends, spend the night, hit up a nice
restaurant, and spend a couple of days visiting the shiny new museum. Not! What
the hell was I thinking? Tickets are sold out until at least March of 2017.
Apparently the place is a hit, and getting a ticket is almost as tough as
scoring a ticket to see the Cubs play!
So I was thinking about the
museum and all of its early success, when I read the following article about
one of my least favorite people on this earth.
"The National Museum of
African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. only has one reference
to Clarence Thomas: that of Anita Hill testifying against him in his
confirmation hearings.
But a petition launched from
the StandUnited website is looking to change that, calling for Thomas’
inclusion in the museum as part of African-American history. The petition is
called “Director for Smithsonian Museum of African-American Culture and
History, Lonnie Bunch III: Don’t Overlook African American Leaders like Justice
Clarence Thomas” and was launched on October 6. Already, it has gotten about
8,000 signatures.
“Justice Thomas is the
longest-serving African American Supreme Court Justice in our nation’s
history,” Angela Morabito, who is the senior campaign manager of the website,
told CNSNews.com. “StandUnited users are commenting on the petition about how
they want to see Smithsonian embrace history, instead of selectively editing
it.”
“Justice Thomas has a uniquely
American story, in all its complexity – he grew up in the segregated South, and
is now the second most powerful African American man in government,” Morabito
continued. “Petition signers think he deserves credit for his extraordinary
contributions to American government and constitutional scholarship.”
What the FUCK???? You have got
to be kidding my ass!! As Whitney used to say to Bobby: "Hell. To. The. Motherfuckin.
No.!!!!" First of all, this House Negro was traded from the Negro race
years ago. We disowned this Negro, and everything that his coonin ass stands
for. White folks can embrace him if they want to, and that's fine, but put him
in your own fuckin museum. I suspect that he would prefer to be there with you
in the first place.
