I's 'fraid of da' water

Yesterday, on the news, there was a report that 6 black kids drowned in a river near Shreveport, LA. The reporter went on to say how 1 in 4 black Americans can't swim and are more likely to drown. Someone she interviewed, a black elderly woman whose son drowned'd, began a program that teaches blacks how to swim. She went on to say that whites were more privileged than blacks and had their own pools growing up. First of all, I didn't have a pool in my backyard growing up. According to a study that I just made up, 1 in 171 homes had pools when I was growing up.

WTF???

Whites more privileged than blacks???

Well, how about this? I think that blacks have WAY more privileges than whites. Allow me to explain.

Below is an excerpt from a song (if you can really call it that) by Soulja Boy. It's called "Pretty Boy Swag". Read over the lyrics which I have posted verbatim.

G5kids
Soldier, soldier, soldier
Soulja, soulja, soulja
All the pretty girls stand up
All the pretty boys stand up
Pretty boys in the building

Dis right here is my swag
All the girls are on me damn
Everybody pay attention
Dis right here is my pretty boy swag,
Pretty boy swag, pretty boy swag, pretty boy swag
Girls on my dick when I pretty boy swag
Girls scream my name when I pretty boy swag
Watch me pretty boy swag, pretty boy swag, pretty boy swag,
Pretty boy swag
Girls on my dick when I pretty boy swag
Girl scream my name when I pretty boy swag

What do you think would happen if the Rolling Stones or Willie Nelson threw up some shit like this on an album? They would be chastised for being one notch above a kid suffering from Downs Syndrome. Soulja Boy is a black kid who has been made famous by an army of uneducated non-swimmers. Because he is a moron, the public accepts this work. Apparently, being black has it's own privileges.

Here are a few other privileges bestowed upon them:

welfare
free/discounted housing
free food
free health care
free childcare
free education
the month of February
B.E.T.
The Black Grammy Awards
The Black Globe Awards
The Image Awards
N.A.A.C.P.
The African-American Literary Awards
Ms Black America
VIBE, JET and EBONY magazines
President Obama (talk about your all time backfire)
Al Sharpton
Tyler Perry's endless list of awful movies
The Wayans brothers



If any black people have a problem with this, you can confront me on it. I'll be splashing around in my swimming pool.
