All aboard! Next stop: N-word Head!

Jeez...  I guess since no one else on here will do it, I gotta be the one then.
   
This past weekend Texas Gov. Rick Perry was exposed for having leased a hunting lodge with the highly controversial name "N*ggerhead."  No surprises there.

One of CNN's African-American reporters, LZ Granderson, writes, "Perry's "N*ggerhead" revelation is disturbing but if the controversy forces him out of the race tomorrow, life for black America would not be changed. Our unemployment rate would still be twice the national average, we'll still be disproportionately living in poverty, we'll still be lagging behind in education."

Easy for him to say, but since "LZ" writes for CNN and is openly gay most of his thoughts, comments, and/or his opinions are often missed or blatantly dismissed by the black community at large.  So we're back to square one I guess.

Oh don't look at me like that, y'all.  I have no problem with gay people working for CNN.  LGBT people in general have contributed so much to American history and we all owe a debt of thanks to them in several ways.  Take for instance, men's dress shirts and shoes.  Prior to openly gay men sporting shirts that actually compliment the male form and sporting Italian designer leather shoes, we straight men had to settle for work boots, loafers, and the ever popular shoe-boot combination seen worn by '70's TV icons like Mannix, Ironside, and TJ Hooker.  Imagine, guys, the disdain your child would feel if you showed up at their high school band recital rocking an open flannel shirt filled in with beady knotty chest hair, Elvis-styled mutton chops, and a pair of black shoe-booties with the zipper on the side.  You'll think you're dressed for the prom yourself as you daughter tries to climb inside the tuba case and hide.   Oh the horror!  Now go on an let your cousin, 'Twan, hook up your outfit so little Pamela Jo can feel proud of her daddy for once. 

But I digress...

I, for one, was totally unsurprised and quite underwhelmed by what was reported about presidential hopeful, Rick Perry, this past weekend.  It didn't even catch me off guard as it did some of you that the story broke over the weekend either by the way, at a time when most Americans in this economy are stuck having to tie down their yachts for the winter themselves or are out having their new Porches bucket washed at their church parking lot prior to heading up to New Hampshire to watch the leaves before returning to their starter McMansions.

What I found surprising was noticing that for once in recent US history the GOP looked nervous.  Really nervous.  Not the kind of nervous that one would feel if say they got caught red handed being a functioning drug addict at a radio station spewing subliminal hate like "Rash Limp-balls" or nervous like some disgraced pastor ousted from the very church that they founded for being everything that they preached against in the first place like closetted-and-heavily-in-denial homos*xual Ted Haggard.  However, nervous, you know like how Amanda Knox looked after it finally sunk in that the Italian prison officials weren't really buying her story the first time before the appeal and that she may really have to spend the rest of her natural life behind bars. 

See, it wasn't too long ago that "***** McConnell", "Rash," and "John Bone-her" took to the airwaves to report (nee declare) that Mr. Obama will in fact be a one term president.  They were so smug and ****sure of themselves that they could have their cronies in business hijack the American economy in order to force the American people to elect, via a landslide, the GOP front-runner replacing the guy who is really Kenyan but only came to this country to try and overthrow it from inside the White House of all places.  Nervousness is showing them that the only real GOP front-runner now happens to be Mr. Herman Cain, a negro-spiritual singing, former CEO of the Papa Johns pizza chain slinging bum that no one other than his momma has ever heard of. 

Like him or not, Mr. Obama isn't the real problem that the GOP is having with the upcoming presidential election.  Oh no.  The real problem is (drum roll please...) not being able to attack Mr. Obama without saying, you know, that he's black.  In their collective warped minds, if they could just do that then they are certain that people would pop their eyes out like Curly from The Three Stooges; dash down to their nearest polling place, muttering "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk..." as they spend the night outside in order to keep their place in line to elect someone else.  Anybody else.  But therein lies the heart of the problem with that strategy.  Haven't the GOP folks seen a movie in the past 20 years?  Hollyweird has been touting the possibility of minorities (blacks, women, others, etc...) in the US being the POTUS for a while now and people pay to see those films.  The only people who don't seem to buy it is the GOP and their gun-totin' in-bred followers and devotees of Faux News.

They have compared Obama to Hitler, which is kind of funny because don't quite a few non-Jewish white folks love Hitler?  I mean all of the Aryan Brotherhood members in my neighborhood sure seem to.  And what about Obamacare, which really started out as tried and true "Romneycare?" Dayum!  Stumped me there too.  Well hold on now...  What about the capture and execution of Bin Laden?  Weren't they all gung ho for that one too?  Nah.  Nowadays, I see "Dub-ya" on the news cycles saying, "...Killing Bin Laden doesn't make me happy."  WTF?!  Dude, I like double-speak and talking sh*t out of the side of my neck as much as the next man, but usually when it's done it's to get women into bed and not to confuse the entire human race at the same time.

Pardon me. I've digressed again...

So 'Dick' Perry and the good 'ol boys o' Texas hunt at N*ggerhead and now someone has come along and graffitied the rock that bears it's name.  Shame on them.  I'll bet if this race was showing signs that it was clearly in the GOP's favor, then they would have blamed the graffiti on Obama too.  Listen folks, and for you good girls and boys playing the at home version - the name N*ggerhead has been on that rock for years, perhaps decades.  You can't tell me that Gov. Perry just heard it's name over the weekend like the rest of us.  Think about that.
