Are African American People Stupid?
May 21st, 2010
I know this is kinda like the saying; Are Mormons Christian?
The answer is: There are stupid people out there and some of them just happened to be African American.
If you can’t read the statement in this picture, I’ll quote it bellow. But first I have to give you some background.
Here in Anchorage we have a High School called Service (gives a different definition to the word Service Project). The student in the picture was a member of a student group that was given the task of coming up with a public hallway display for Black History Month. The display they came up with included this quote:
“The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it into a book.“
This quote was displayed behind glass for well over a week. The group stated it wasn’t a Racial Slur. They claimed it was to spark an academic change in African American students within the school.
When reading the quote I thought, ‘I’ve heard this phrase before.‘ And I had heard it before. It was from Chris Rock’s 1997 comedy album Roll with the New.
First of all Chris Rock was mis-quoted, horribly mis-quoted. I have to give you a prelude to the actual Chris Rock quote.
“There’s like a civil war going on with black people and there’s two sides. Theres black people and theres ni**ers. And ni**er have got to go.”
What Chris really said after this was:
“. . . Ni**ers break into your house, you want to save your money? Put it into your books. ‘Cause ni**ers don’t read. Just put the money into the books. . . .”
So, I ask you if this was written by a white student during Black History Month would have gone up? Even if it had been posted in the school would it had stayed up for over a week with the officials at the school defending this slogan?
Post Script: Our local paper has since deleted this story off of their site completely. There is not reference to it of any kind.

Today marks something wonderful in my career as a Mormon Webtoonist. As of Feb 8th 2008 
I guess I have been catching way to many Taboo episodes on the National Geographic Chanel. Seems ever time I pick up that Tivo remote I automatically press 0-5-4-select. You see they, NGC, have been airing an awful lot of Coming of age documentaries. They are actually documentaries about African Tribes and in all cases include rituals to cross over to Adulthood.
In another Ethiopian tribe, when a boy was ready to be a man, they would cut strategically placed marks all over his body to transform him into a crocodile. After the cuts were made they would place animal fat, dirt and ash into the wounds to have a unique raised. This step was one of many steps to Manhood. Some of these steps consisted of humiliation, sleep deprivation, pain, and sometimes even death.
