I don’t usually do this, but I’m in one of those playful moods. Posted below is a sample of the e-mail I get from people with extremely low IQs.
Ms. Barber, the CBCNR would like to inform you that you are 1 of 12 nominees for Sambo of the Year!
Your name was submitted by concerned Black citizens across the nation for your very negative, hostile and slanderous Dec 2003 commentary about Kwanzaa.
They believe that it’s one thing to be critical but another to display outright contempt and slander in the presence of mainstream readers. Other nominees are Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Jesse Jackson Jr. and Snoop Dogg.
They have offered to boycott every publication where your commentary appears and more. There are a slew of Black individuals and organizations who are upset with your commentary.
Winners will be announced in some form by month’s end. Again, this is what the people are saying about you.
Hotep!Hasan
Where do I start?
Dear “Hasan”,
1. “…very negative, hostile and slanderous Dec 2003 commentary about Kwanzaa.” First of all, everything I wrote in the article about Kwanzaa and Karenga is true. Second, if I’d knowingly written false statements about Karenga, it would be libel, not slander. Go buy a law dictionary to find out the difference.
2. How did I get lumped in with such a “diverse” group of nominees that includes Jesse Jackson, Jr. and Snoop?
3. “There are a slew of Black individuals and organizations who are upset with your commentary” No kidding? What a surprise.
This spam was so dumb I thought you’d get a good laugh out of it. Please keep “Hasan” in your prayers.
Married To It
He’s married to all that money. If true, will she begin divorce proceedings, ruining his presidential run? Bye, bye, Big Ketchup.
The story’s hit the mainstream press. I feel like such a gossipmonger!
