As you can imagine, racists have been having a rough go of it since last Tuesday, when American voters changed history by electing the nation's first black President. Though most of the bigots have simply been sulking, wondering how soon the Negro Police would be by for the deeds to their homes, others have lashed out, like Murfreesboro Post columnist Stephen Lewis.
The embittered Lewis took to the pages of his small-time Tennessee paper to angrily mock the President-elect with a song he wrote based on a familiar, campy television theme. Can you guess which theme? Here's some sample lyrics: "Well we’re movin’ on up/ To Washington, D.C./ To a deee-luxe pimp pad/ Painted whiiiite."
Full lyrics after the jump.
(Sung by Obama to the theme song of “The Jeffersons”):
“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.McCain can’t score on the east coast,
Palin was just a cute, cheap thrill.
Took a whole lot of campaign promises,
To take over Capitol Hill.
Now we’re livin’ in the White House
Chewin’ on the government fat.
As long as we here
It’s tax, tax, tax!
Ripping off the rich fat cats!Well we’re movin’ on up
To the big time.
To a dee-luxe sweet crib
That’s just too fly.
Moooovin’ on up
To D.C.
I finally showed McCain I’m the guy!”

jackass.
This is the kind of thing that makes me more tired than angry. How overly simplistic can you be? Hiding behind your newspaper column makes you a coward, not a patriot.
somebody needs a good talking to, then a good punch, and then to finish it off: a good beat-down.
Argh- I was waiting for some dumb s#!* like this to surface. Our soil will never be free from jerks- lets just ignore this one.
How tired yet expected by small minded, attention hungry dip-shits… keep on talking your nonsense while we keep on moving forward.
Moving along…
On Halloween when you guys posted about Whites in Blackface I said it (racist incidents) would get worse if Obama was elected. Well it's getting worse.
Wait, I get it! He must be friends with P Diddy because they're both famous black people! And he would probably call the White House a "crib" because that is a slang term commonly employed by African Americans to describe their homes! I haven't seen satire this incisive since Obama Waffles!
Wooooooo! That was FUNNY! ::slaps knee::
*eyeroll*
Folks, this is Tennessee. Some folks are stuck in a time warp (see NY-Times map). To be bored…
This is just a desperate attempt at lame wildly out dated humor, where in reality it is a pathetic sad joke on the author. It goes to show you how bitter losing can be. What's next… Sanford & Son or Different Strokes reference?
How is this any different from:
[Intro: Young Jeezy]
Yeah, be the realest shit I never wrote
I ain't write this by the way nigga, some real shit right here nigga
This'll be the realest shit you ever quote
Let's go!
[Hook: Young Jeezy}
My president is black, my Lambo's blue
And I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too
My momma ain't at home, and daddy's still in jail
Tryna make a plate, anybody seen the scale?
My president is black, my Lambo's blue
And I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too
My money's light green and my Jordans light grey
And they love to see white, now how much you tryna pay?
Let's go!
Ah, because that song is about Jeezy's perspective, and not trying to transpose a Jeezy-esque outlook onto Obama just because they share a race like the aforementioned song does.
