Knights Vs. Niggers

How an Obama Presidency Could Force "Ghetto" Blacks to Change

Okay, here's the scenario. It's January of 2009, and the world is riveted to the media coverage of the swearing in of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America. Cable and network news stations showcase an array of all-star commentators and pundits, all of whom are in a virtual state of shock because they never thought they'd live to see a black man obtain the most powerful position on the planet. President Bush and Dick Cheney have been purged from the White House, so the celebration is twofold. "The Term of Hope" has begun, and no sector of the American population is happier, prouder or more optimistic about the future than black people. However, I truly believe that with Obama acquiring the position of "Brother-in-Chief", it would place greater emphasis on the endless and sometime brutal battle that wages between two very distinct groups within the black community: the knights and the niggers.

It's no secret to my loyal G-fans that I absolutely loathe the word nigger. I have expressed my sentiments in an article or two on my AC page and during many speaking engagements, but I am using it in this context to describe a group of people, both male and female, that refuse to be recognized as anything but "real niggers from the hood". The G-man is about to piss a multitude of people off, both black and white, but it's not like I haven't before. I'll be accused of stereotyping, being "bourgie" and not understanding "the black plight" in this country, but nothing could be further from the truth. Moreover, there isn't one person out there that will be able to proclaim I don't know or understand anything about the hood because I was raised in one of the toughest hoods out there: the Redfern Houses of Far Rockaway, New York. An intense love for the black community, as well as black history, is what prompts me to address this topic. If I have to kick a little ass, "get ghetto" or bruise a few egos to get my point across, then so be it! The truth is a powerful medicine, and no one said medicine is supposed to taste good. So, open wide!
