Awe, Black People Don't Read Anyway

And evidently, they're deaf, too . . .

A graduation card sold at local stores has been pulled from shelves after a civil rights group raised concerns about the content. The group claims the card's micro-speaker plays a greeting that's racist.

It is a graduation greeting from Hallmark that says, "Hey world, we are officially putting you on notice."

Members of the Los Angeles NAACP did take notice. As characters known as "Hoops" and "Yoyo" banter on, African American leaders hear offensive language.

"And you black holes, you are so ominous. Watch your back," the card vocalizes.

"That was very demeaning to African American women. When it made reference to African American women as whores and at the end, it says 'watch your back,'" said Leon Jenkins of the Los Angeles NAACP.

"You hear the 'r' in there. 'Whores,' not, 'holes.' The 'r' is in there," said Minnie Hatley of the Los Angeles NAACP.

"It sounds like a group of children laughing and joking about blackness, again," said another NAACP member.

I have to weep for Black youth if these idiots are their leaders. I could only listen to a few secodns of that fool talking about how this card is "demeaning to African-American women" before I have to turn it off in disgust. Congratulations to the NAACP for keeping their folk on the plantation of ignorance.

What's more discouraging is that Hallmark is actually taking the cards of the shelf.
