| Differences: Sambo Vs. Uncle Tom Explained - Black America Web |
© October 22, 2024, the Griot Poet
I met him at a dinner party.
I said that I hosted a
poetry venue at Mitchie’s Fine Black Art and Frame Gallery.
I was about to say that it was my therapy after being let go in the 14th round of layoffs by Motorola, Incorporated.
“Oh! So, you’re a ‘Bush hater?’”
That was a non-sequitur on steroids.
This contrarian tunneled from poetry to
politics.
I admitted that I didn’t vote for his preferred candidate.
And it was my choice as an American to choose his Democratic
opponent.
But that wasn’t the point:
He wanted an argument.
He wanted a fight!
Insulting my wife in front of me, her, and his.
It took everything me, then 23 years in the martial arts to
keep from throttling him!
Sambo turned a dinner party into a spectacle.
Anger and rage filled the space.
Twice, the host almost had to call the police.
Later,
Our sons met on the basketball court,
Sambo shot a look of contempt at me,
Like he knew that his son was better in the sport.
His son was on Leander’s team, mine on Cedar Park’s.
My son stole his son’s ball twice and dunked on his once.
Cedar Park won the game by double digits on Leander’s court!
Before I could confront him on the victory,
“Step-n-fetch” left the gym quickly.
Later, Mr. “Family Values,”
Left his stay-at-home wife, two sons, and a
daughter for his college sweetheart.
He moved with her to Ohio.
(The fact that “Gym Jordan” is their congressman explains a
lot!)
His ex-wife suddenly had to find a job with no skills to keep
her family afloat.
She lost the house.
Her daughter became teenage-pregnant.
I saw Wilco covering
his sons on police blotters for burglary and grand theft auto.
I’m not gloating.
I’m listening to the contrarians today who are verbally saying
that they:
“Can’t vote for a woman,”
“Can’t see a female president,”
“He gave us a check during COVID.”
(He wrote his name on it.)
It wouldn’t have killed as many black and brown citizens had he properly handled it!
Remember when they wanted to open the economy when we were the main casualties?
I’m looking at you, black men,
“Insulted” [by the way] the first black president spoke to you,
About the importance of this election,
Brothers:
Where were your feelings when your high school coaches got in your shit?
How many four-letter words did the black president
insult you with?
If your woman is pregnant and has a life-threatening
complication, do you have the income to fly her to a “free state,” or another
country to save her?
If your baby girl is sexually assaulted, are you prepared to become the grandfather to a child conceived by her rapist?
Which candidate called Africa and the Caribbean “shit hole countries?”
Which administration authorized gender-affirming care for prison inmates in 2019? Hint:
The current president was a civilian,
The current Vice President-Democratic presidential candidate was in the Senate,
And we were one
year away from him botching a global pandemic!
He blamed the “deep state” for his 2020 election loss.
Again, I ask you: Who was president?
Which candidate pitched paper towels to hurricane victims in
Puerto Rico,
And which is lying about FEMA in North Carolina, putting workers and Helene survivors in danger?
Which is lying about Haitian legal migrants, resulting in
bomb threats?
Who called Colin Kaepernick a “son of a bitch” for peacefully protesting
police violence against us?
Who said he wanted generals like Hitler’s?
Who wants to re-indict the Exonerated Five?
This Bizarro clone of Alphonse Capone isn’t about that “peace
on Earth” thing.
“Christian nationalism isn’t Christianity: It’s white supremacy in Bible Drag!”
News flash: You are openly supporting a fascist.
Who raged about paying for a murdered Fort Hood soldier’s
funeral - Vanessa Guillén.
“It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!
Don’t [pay] it! Fucking people are trying to rip me off!”[1]
A racist and con artist who will make “stop and
frisk” against us: national policy.
A man who stole classified documents has handpicked Aileen Cannon, on the shortlist to replace Merrick Garland!
A megalomaniac lying about Project 2025, actualizing his insanity!
It can get worse for us, for the planet, and humanity.
No bullshit brothers:
I’ve met your archetype.
Contrarians unfortunately tend to be on the opposite side of
everything right.
Sambo was the villain in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”
I would never call you “Tom’s.”
Calling you that is inaccurate.
Tom was a brave man trying to get his family to freedom.
Sambo is far more descriptive of your part of the species.
Sambo beat Tom to death,
Tom, the victim, forgave him.[2]
Sambo lived on to regret his reenactment of Cain and Abel.
Abel’s blood “cried out,”[3]
and Cain found himself marked and cursed for the rest of his days.
This is my warning, brothers:
Vote for democracy, or the Neo-confederacy.
Vote for freedom, or De Facto slavery.
Vote for the overqualified woman, or the six bankruptcies fascist.
Vote for diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, or
its opposite: Eugenics.[4]
A man comparing his schlong to
Arnold Palmer’s in the Golf Club showers,
And he thinks so little of you, or his cult followers that
that’s his “closing argument?”
By the way:
“Do you want fries with that shake?”
Brothers:
“Owning the libs” won’t preclude your trip to the Auschwitz
furnaces:
REAL MEN don’t do fascism!
Choose wisely!
