Only you can say so much with a simple image in such a snarky way. Pure artistry my friend.

This is the best MJ post so far, but we have miles to go before its over.

I'm sure glad you're back. I missed you.

While you were gone, all hell broke lose. I found out on my birthday that my best friend has small cell squamous lung cancer. I smoke, she doesn't. I eat any old shit I wish, she's a vegetarian. Go figure. Anyway that's why I'm writing about food. I'm not trying to fatten her up for radiation and chemotherapy.

If yer white yer alright.
If yer brown stick around.
If yer black step back.

Old school but it came to mind immediately for some reason.

The second thing that came to mind was Rocky Horror Picture Show.

More old school, huh . . . . lol

What I don't get, and pardon me for my perfidy, is why this man is lifted up by the Black community as some kind of near-deity.

He had plastic surgery to look white, he married two white women, and he seemed to wish to willfully renounce the color of his skin and the race of his birth in every way.

And yet, he gets lionized by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? I just.don't.get.it

I come to this site a lot, sometimes with trepidation because you make some powerful, often disturbing images. It's always worth it, though. This image is pure genius.

What Demeur said.

And Comrade Kevin, you're right. Most people, black or white, have very confused ideas about hero worship; a very confused and often misplaced urge.

(Thanks for following my tweets, Db. Hope you're finding your way.)
