American Epidemic

For 230 years, 6 months, and 15 days America has been victimized by a heinous epidemic: white people acting like black people and thinking it's funny. Recently, there have been numerous commercials that feature white Germans using black slang, "V-dub in the hizzouse." First of all, saying just about anything, let alone racist imitations, in a German accent is a little off-putting. Second, you don't see any black people dressing up in a uniform and gassing groups of people.

Back in the day, Al Jolson mocked black people in minstrel shows wearing black face. Al Jolson is a kike. And you don't see any black people mocking life in a shtetl (except for Shabaam Sahdeeq's "You Need 2 Give It Up" featuring a sped-up Fiddler on the Roof sample. But in fairness to black people, he's the only one).

I'm done watching old white people rap or otherwise Pat Boone/Elvis Presley (yes I'm using them as verbs) black culture. You don't see black people wearing adult diapers and losing their false teeth. Well, except for old black people. Um, let's forget that one.

Finally, enough with white people mimicking the harshness of black people's predicament and the creativity that stems from it, attempting to strip it of its power. White people are responsible for that unfairness and now white people mock the artistic expression that attempts to eradicate this racism. You don't see black people wearing white hoods and burning crosses on people's lawns.
