Back...on Black


all things considered, this is a pretty good photo
First off, let me apologize to my fan(s) for being away for such a long period of time. I wish I could say it's because I was thinking of great ideas that will now serve to amuse you for 30 seconds each day. Sadly, that is not true. Indeed, I am using up all of my good ideas in this blog.
As many you of already know, I am white. Nontheless, I feel comfortable writing this blog because I am voting for Barak Hussein Obama and I am still upset about how we have treated the people and the rebuilding of New Orleans (my homeboys often call me the unknown and unsuccessful Bill Clinton).
First, the photo: Clearly, that is a photo Ferris singing Twist and Shout. As you will recall, Ferris got all of Chicago up and dancing (no, i am not going to address the awsome line dancing on the steps) with his lip sync of the Beatles classic. During that scene there is a shot of a mother with a baby in a carriage. The baby is black (we are nearing my point). The movie was made in or about 1986 , making that baby about 23-25 years old today, a "playas" prime, if you will...(we have reached my point) If I was a black dude that looked anywhere between 23-25 and/or was actually between 23-25 I would tell all the ladies that the black kid in the carriage was me (do black people know Ferris the way white people do? We'll just have to assume so). That's it, you can see where it goes from here...
Also, as long as we are on the state of race relations in our great nation...you know where white people and black people really get along well...in commercials, especially car commercials. I do not believe there has been a car commercial made in the past 10 years in which there were two passengers (not married) and one of them wasn't black. Of course, white people and black people are friends, surely our world would be sad place if they were not, but the ratio is crazy high in car commericals. The only other place I have seen such intermingiling between the races is at sporting events, and that is fleeting.
I hope you have enjoyed the return of jazzblahg...may it not be another five moths
