Back on the Corner

It's a lovely summer day....the sun is shining.....and the living is easy....SO.... let's go BACK down to the corner and "kick" it with those two "SLICK and SLY" brothers, Blak Leroy and Willie Nillie, once more, okay?....................

"Hey, if it ain't my 'ace-boon-coon', Willie!!! What's POPPIN', man?"

"Hey Leroy, 'ain't nothing poppin' but the CORN, ya know?"

"It's been a while since I checked ya' out, Willie. So lay it on me, MAN....."

"Lay 'WHAT' on you, Leroy?"

"The KNOWLEDGE, man. 'Pull my coat' to what's going down, bossman..."

"Naw, Leroy....You know that TOO much knowledge will cause your system to 'lock up'. Because any type of wisdom--in YOUR brain--is viewed as an ALIEN substance..."

"Look, Willie...cut out all the 'SIGNIFYING' and give me the 'GRAPES' to what's on your mind!! You know I looks at you as being a man of HIGH intellect. So, don't make a liar outta me.."

"Well, since you put it THAT way...I was thinking about all the CLONING that the white scientists is doing and I THINK I got the answer to WHY they is trying to play God......"

"And why might that be, Willie?"

"Dig,.....can you remember in school--whenever we went--how they taught us about Hitler and stuff?"

"Yeah, that Hitler was a 'freaky' M.F. wasn't he?"

"Yeah, he was. But Dig this--he was trying to create a so-called 'MASTER RACE' that could whup any other beings on this planet."

"Yeah, I DO remember something about that. He wouldn't shake Jesse Owens hand, because Jesse out-ran all them 'grey boys' in them olympic races."

"Leroy, you DO open a book SOMETIMES--don't you?"

"Willie, I SAID cut out the 'signifying'...Now go ahead..."

"Okay, Leroy. Now, 'peep this out' ....Hitler wanted to create what they called an 'aryan race'.....

"A WHO???....."

"An ARYAN RACE of 'super-strong' white folks--blond hair and blue eyes--that would take over the world. But Jesse proved him wrong and he failed. Now, with all this modern technology they is trying to do it all over again......."

"But why would they do that, Willie..."

"THINK, Leroy!!! The M. F.'s is tired of seeing all the 'brothers' dominate them in sports and other things. Now, they can design a human like you design a 'three-piece suit'. They is TIRED of the blak man dominating, so they trying to 'build' themselves a white boy who will kick us in the As$!!"

"Willie, come on now........"

"Leroy, stop all the 'shucking and jiving' and be a MAN!!!"

"I don't know what the HE!! you is talking about--I AM a man!!!"

"Then, LISTEN sometimes!! Them white boys is tired of their children not having no heroes to cheer about any more. Little Johnny is walking around the outer suburbs with a 'Jordan' t-shirt on, smoking dope, wearing dreads, and rapping.....you think they like THAT?!!"

"Hmmm, you MAY have a point..."

"You goddarn right I do. They is tired of us getting ALL the accolades and awards. They may have the money sewed up, but when it comes to competition they is tired of us embarrassing them. They USED to have tennis and golf until we started getting serious about it..... Brothers would dominate in hockey, too, but you know OUR folks don't like the COLD...."

"True, true.. But Willie, we may be better in some things, but they still is making money off of us 'cause they run and OWN sports."

"I agrees....The whole draft is like some slave auction. They used to line up the blak folks and inspect them to make sure they got the best ones..and they STILL is doing that. The only difference is that the brothers are selling THEMSELVES for the right price. A young brother don't feel he has to go to school to learn nothing because SPORTS is going to make him rich....."

"That's it, baby!!!"

"Now, they is trying to get a blue print on how to manufacture a human being who will be able to deal with us on all levels of competition and hand-to-hand combat. Pretty soon, they will be able to look at a brochure and pick out the hair color, eye color, and height of these 'fake' beings before they is born. It'll be all mapped out...."

"Damn Willie, don't we have enough M. F.'s out here now without them 'making' more?"

"That don't mean nothing to them CRAZY scientists. They can't cure the common cold but they can build humans. You'll soon see some white boy, with muscles on top of muscles, and swinging a 'JONES' as high as the Eiffel Tower, you watch......"

"It's a sad and sick 'sit-cha-shun' --I tell you, Willie..."

"And dig this too, Leroy...I hear they is trying to put HOG parts in human beings now. Ain't that a blip!!! How'd you like to walk around with HOG parts in you--half-animal and half- human --Leroy?...."

"Hmm, I don't think I'd like THAT......."

"I know damn well you don't....It's enough to make a brother give up HOG MAWS and CHITTLIN'S for life!!!!!.......And I bet some black folks will go right along with the program. But I got a question..."

"What's that, Willie?"

"Will they discriminate against CLONES and HALF-HUMANS, too?"

"YEAH.......Like I always says, Willie: 'You're sweeter than SUGAR from the cane' with your fast as$!!.....Hey, let's go down to BILLY BOO'S pool hall so you can 'hip' those brothers--down there--to the GAME."

"Trying to make those M.F.'s understand something is like trying to raise the dead--but I guess 'every squirrel needs a NUT every now and then.....' "

"Yeah, and we'll go by Big Ma-Ma's, later, and get something to 'chew' on."

"Sounds good, Leroy....Let's go....."

OH, MY, MY,....(SMILE)

P.S. Once again, this is dedicated to my favorite "knuts"--exspecially a single mom with the initials "M. J." God Bless. Oh, Oh, Oh,.......
