I found this in a closet at work the other day. It was in a pile of black biographies. You know Louis Armstrong, George Washington Carver, that kind of shit. I read the first few pages. They were all about when he lit himself on fire while freebasing which consequently happened on my birthday. There are ads in the back of the book to order other books, books like Pimp: The Story of My Life by Iceberg Slim and Some Like it Dark. There was also an ad to order The Nigger Bible by Robert H deCoy. Why was this book at a school?!


Description of The Nigger Bible:
"This book has been called "the most important book of our generation!" Dick Gregory's preface to The Nigger Bible, says: "Robert H. deCoy is not only one of the literary giants of our time who stretches out to address his own black-kind people, but he has dared to discard the traditional bestiges of Judeo-Chistianity in order to find and reveal the spititual truths of being black. He has dared further to reject the academic forms of Anglo-Saxon writings in orer to establish newer forms of presentations eliminating the pure white "bullshit" which has for so long shackled the spirits and minds of nearly all black people here in America . . . He has given to his people myths and a Genesis, withoutwhich no race of people can offer proof of their existence." The author tackles such questions as, "Why is a Nigger not a Negro?", "Should we integrate or segregate?", "Is Christianity for Niggers?" Islam? Judaism?" "Do Niggers need a God of their own?". "Should Niggers have sex relations with people of other races?", "Is there a Nigger holiday?"

I took off from work yesterday just because. This is what one of my students wrote in his journal about it. The journal that I collect every week.

Quick Public School Tale

Today we were talking about vacations. On of the students was talking about going to Hollywood. That led to another student talking about how they have never been on a plane before. Another student said that they flew to Virgina before. Finally another student called out, you flew to vagina!

DARE

Today at our DARE lesson the police officer was teaching the students about surgeon general warnings and how ads try to convince people to smoke cigarettes. I was sitting in the back with one of my crazy students. Every once and a while she would yell out something along the lines of "my cousin smokes weed!" or "my aunt smokes weed!" When the officer held up an ad for cigars my special little lady goes, "oh, blunts! I know blunts!"

(ed. note: You might find these notes and stories to be funny. You might find them to be sad. I post them to show you what deal with on a daily basis. These are the kinds of things my kids say and talk about not the things that they necessarily do. They show that my kids have been exposed to stuff way too young.)
