Aha-ha. Not that any of you keep abreast of the goings-on in Tennessee's dailies, but The Murfreesboro Post had quite the kerfuffle on their hands when a La Vergne principal, Stephen Lewis, wrote one of his "humor columns" filled with "humor jokes" about Barack Obama's election as president.
Which would have been fine, if the "satiric" post hadn't been filled with such mind-boggling racist caricatures and archetypes that you wonder if Lewis likes to dress up in blackface on Halloween.
Let's just say the entire column was just revised words to the Jefferson's theme song, such as:
“Well we’re movin’ on up,
To Washington, D.C.
To a deee-luxe pimp pad,
Painted whiiiite.
Yeah we’re movin’ on up,
To the White House.
I’ll be jetting with P. Diddy cross the sky.
Awesome. Someone misinterpreted Robert Downey Jr.'s role in Tropic Thunder, hmm?
So after this news got out on blogs and what not, Principal Lewis was forced to make an apology to his students and their parents, several of which you imagine to be African-American themselves. ::Pulls collar:: Is it getting hot in here guys?
"Although my hobby as a columnist is not connected directly to my position as principal I should have known better than to attempt to find humor in a subject so sensitive to so many," Lewis wrote in an e-mail letter to parents obtained by The Daily News Journal through an open records request. "With all of that being said, I truly apologize to those of you who were offended by my comments."
Yeah guys! Stop being so uppity and sensitive about a little racial humor! We just elected our first black president, soon we'll be able to use the n-word with the hard r at the end, right??
