Racism Starting From A Nursery Rhyme

Least you all forget,

Especially the racists among you,

What it used to be like...
In the old days you want to go back to.
Here is one of my memories!

My mother used to tell me the Nursery Rhyme:

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...
Catch a nickle by its toe.
If it hollers let it go...
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

And I imagine I giggled like any child would...
Until my great-grandmother,
Who lived until she was 100 years old --
Dying back in the 1980's --
She who told it like it was,
In the Choctaw way,
Informed me that the actual rhyme went like this:

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...
Catch a Nigger by his toe.
If he hollars let him go...
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Because,
You know,
It is funny when you raise little Samuel and little Sally to...
Consider the inferior Negroes as nothing more than human caricatures!

Ah, the bastardization of racism...
Where my own mother told me a racist joke,
And did not even know it!

Much respect to your big racist balls,
Mark Cuban,
As you just told American Blacks the "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" joke --
And most of us are to shell shocked stupid to even realized your racism!
