With the election of popular Negro Barrack Obama, white people ended racism for all time. Yet, I don’t hear a lot of black people thanking me. I haven’t received a card, an email or even a friendly handshake on the street. I’m beginning to suspect that black people are ungrateful.
But, because we’re all post-racial now, I think it important to give them the benefit of the doubt. We’ll simply overlook their voting against gay marriage as a simple misunderstanding. You see, they just didn’t understand that they owe us.
And we’ll try to make sure that no one ever notices that white people voted exactly as normal while Obama rode black and Hispanic support to the white black house. It makes us look a little less heroic.
What we should do is organize a day when black people can pay us back for the wonderful favour we did them in no longer subjecting them to us.
Us white folks should prove our outstanding charity by going a step further than we already have. We could give them a holiday so that they might better celebrate us. Let’s take Valentine’s Day and change it to Black Heart Day.
Upon this holiday, black people would have the chance to formally thank white people. Aside from sending us loving cards of gratitude and voting how we see fit, they could also work for us. For free even.
I can just picture it now. I’d sit in my rocking chair, sipping a mint julep, bravely carrying my burden in contemplative silence while watching all those simple dark faces smiling in the fields; their smoky voices raised in a happy song, so pleased are they to repay the debt they owe us. It would be a wonderful new era of post-racial understanding. A truly beautiful new morning.
I know we’d have to give up Valentine’s Day but no price is too high in the service of brotherhood.
