Hurricane Shaft

White people think racist jokes are funny. They laugh about kinky hair and the color of people skin without ever looking in the mirror. If caucasians checked their DNA, they would be surprised to discover more than a little tar in their shed. Yesterday a white friend living in Saudi Arabia sent this email; Black hurricanes.... Well, it appears our African-American friends have found yet something else to complain about. A black congresswoman (this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston), reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding names. She would prefer some names that reflect African-American culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaquille, and Jamal. She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in 'language' that street people can understand because one of the problems that happened in New Orleans was, that black people couldn't understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the racially biased language of the weather report. I guess if the weather person says that the winds are going to blow at 140+ MPH, that's too hard to understand I can hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans says... “Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin' fo' yo ass like Leroy on a rocket! Bitch be a category fo'! So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo' chirren, leave yo crib, and head fo' de nearest FEMA office for yo FREE shit !” Personally I'd like to hear Tupac Shakur come back from the grave to announce, "There is a hurricane called John Shaft bearing down on Palm Beach, so brothers and sisters get ready for some good loot to roll up on Riviera Beach." But then again I'm Black Irish. Up the Rebels.
