  • Sometimes The Truth Is Stanky

    Date: 2008.04.24 | Category: all | Response: 0

    Woman talking to new mother: What a cute baby!  It’s a blessing to be around babies, it surely is.  They so peaceful.  It’s a blessing from Jesus Christ.
    Mother: (inaudible)
    Woman: He got a Biblical name! (does a little dance)  …Jacob, Abraham, Isaac!  You go, Abraham, and rewrite the Constitution, because they didn’t include nothing about blacks.  Don’t understand why we gotta come to court no how.  They gotta drag us in here against our will.  Guess they couldn’t keep hanging us.  Couldn’t keep raping our daughters.  Now they press charges against the blacks for every little thing.  Always arresting us, letting us go, arresting us again.  Always bringing us to court, letting us go, bringing us back in to court.  I know a guy who’s in jail over a little $15 check.  I hate ‘em all.  I hate lying, deceiving, perpetrating. But I don’t hate the truth.  (attending to baby) Oh, he stanky! He stanky!
