Several days ago an anonomous person released an clip from a performance given by Kinky Friedman a little over 26 years ago. The clip has Kinky making a reference to white Houstonians drowning bowling balls at sea under the impression they were nigger eggs. Anybody who’s anybody here in Texas politics is screaming like stuck pigs.
Kinky said the N-Word!!!
Kinky said the N-Word!!!
Kinky said the N-Word!!!
Kinky said the N-Word!!!
Kinky said the N-Word!!!
It would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad. While I agree that Kinky has said things that are at least questionable, this just isn’t one of them. The only people being slammed in that comment were white people. It was white people who said black people were “hatched” not born. It was white people who threw fits that would make a napless two year old who just downed a bag of chocolates look on in sheer awe if black people or things related to black people got anywhere near their lily white arses. And this included drowning bowling balls because they looked like “nigger eggs”.
That’s what Kinky was talking about. Kinky, a white man, was addressing white racism and he was calling white racists dumbasses. But which one of the Bell supporters are talking about that? Hmm? How many have actually responded to Kinky’s statement regarding this? Besides to whine about how he hasn’t apologized for something that was taken completely out of context by them while “attacking” them”?
But, what’s more galling is that black leaders are participating in this stunt. We’re talking about lawyers, doctors and all manner of professionals who damned well know exactly what Kinky was talking about and should know from personal experience that the only time people of colour are of any real importance to the Democratic Party is when the Dems are down in the polls and ‘got nothin’. Sort of what they do with us women, ya know?
Let me put it this way. The going joke about Chris Bell’s campaign is “Chris who?” Now, thanks to this “shocking” discovery – guess which candidate is up in the polls? Well? At least try! Oh, alright. Chris “Who me?!? Of course not!!!” Bell. I bet you a Dr. Pepper that you didn’t see that one coming, eh?
Snarkiness aside, what our black leaders need to be doing, along with every other leader of colour is exposing this fraud for what it is. A shameless ploy to get their boy’s name in the paper in hopes that come election day we’ll think “Bell: Good, Perry: Bad, Granny: Badder, Kinky: Evil Bastard Spawn of Satan”.
Shame on the Democratic Party and shame on any person of colour who is helping them in this.
