Neil Young, who is widely regarded as the Gary North of rock and roll, sang that Southern slavery consisted of “screaming and bullwhips cracking,” and the murder of slaves after they are seduced by Southern belles. I’ve looked for such drama in this old plantation song by J.A. Macon, but there is not a hint of it, undoubtedly because Mr. Macon was a hater.
Hog start a-runnin’ when de overseer callin’;
Whipperwill holler when de jew-draps fallin’;
Duck keeps a-quakin’ when de hard rain po’-in’;
Crows flock togedder when de young corn growin’;
Pig gwine to squeal when de milk maid churnin’;
Nigger mighty happy when de blackberries turnin’!Squ’el go to jumpin’ when de scaly-barks comin’;
Bee-martin sail when de honey-bee hummin’;
Lean horse knicker when de pumpkin-vine spreadin’;
Rabbit back his ear when de cabbage-stalk headin’;
Rooster start a-crowin’ when de broad day breakin’;
Nigger mighty happy when de hoe-cake bakin’;Big fish flutter when he done cotch de cricket;
Bullfrog libely when he’s singin’ in the thicket;
Mule get slicker when de plantin’ time over;
Colt mighty ga’ly when you turn him in de clover;
An’ it come mighty handy to de nigger man nater,
When he soppin’ in de gravy wid a big yam tater!Blacksnake waitin’ while de old hen hatchin’;
Sparrer-hawk lookin’ while de little chickens scratchin’;
Big owl jolly when de little bird singin’;
‘Possum gwine to clam whar de ripe ‘simmons swingin’;
Nigger mighty happy – ef he aint wuf a dollar -
When he startin’ out co’tin’ wid a tall stan’in’ collar!
Only 100 years to go before sub-Saharan Africa has sanitation.
“If there is one brutal fact that the centuries of white oppression have taught blacks, it is that whites are incapable of making any valid judgment about human existence. The goal of black theology is the destruction of everything white, so that blacks can be liberated from alien gods.” ~ James H. Cone, A Black Theology of Liberation, p. 61
Incontrovertible logic from the Honorable Congressman Hymie Kikerson:
And this is unfortunate. Some well-meaning soul envisions Barack, Son of Zeus, the Mulatto Wonder, the Obamessiah, as a Transformer. The name “Optimus Prime” is changed to “Baracktimus Prime,” and the year of our Lord, 08, is appended. But the word looks like “Primate,” which may be perfectly accepable to Darwinists but may not go over well at Democrat rallies.
Even my 10 y.o. son now can understand why the Obamanation is nothing more than “Optimus Primate”
Laughing till the tears come unbidden…..Bravo!
Where can I get this shirt? Love it…
Have you seen this Barack hater? Perhaps the only black in America with a clue…..

I wish James Manning would just say what is really on his mind rather than beating around the bush all the time. We love him!
Here’s where you can order the shirt:

I agree, it’s a real collector’s item. We should probably order a box of them.
I am fairly new to your site and I was wondering if you guys were also Presbyterian? I assume you are given the picture of R.J., Van Til, Dabney, etc..
If so where is your church? I attend Independent Presbyterian in Savannah.
Kinists come in 31 flavors, but the writers at this site are presbyterian, to the extent that presbyterian churches agree with the men you mentioned. Most do not, and have taken it upon themselves to punish opinions that hostile strangers have not approved.
B.J., I am not Presbyterian. Nor are a growing number of readers to this, and to other sites of a similar nature. I am Orthodox (Greek-Russian/Byzantine) but I am fully versed in the Reformed/Presbyterian schools of thought, as any American citizen who calls himself an American, should be; for it was Scots-Irish Calvinists who were the bedrock of the philosophical and cultural reasons for our nation’s founding and existence. FYI, Do you know that four out of five of the most commonly used US Currency notes, ($1,$5, $10, $20, $50) have Presidents with red – read ‘Celtic’- hair? The only one who didn’t was the Ahab of the Potomac, Abraham LIncoln… which is even more a telling idictment of his ‘otherness’ as an American, apart from his blasphemous destruction of the Republic.
This issue, B.J. is far more than just ‘denominationalism’ or even the differences which brought about the great Schism between East and West in 1054. This is the issue of a ‘standing or falling church’ in our era; more, it is the issue of ‘when the Son of Man comes, will he find a ‘faithful [seed] remnant’- it is the issue of genocidal extermination of the Caucasian/European race of Christendom!
Speaking of ‘rock and roll,’ (the Gary North of rock and roll) here’s an interesting video germane to the topic at hand, which some of your readers might enjoy. (I didn’t- I don’t like the genre, but the scripture quotes were all correct!)

For Christ, and HIS Kingdom.
Wait a second…are you saying that this shirt has an underlying racist theme? It looks like a bit of nonsensical fun to me, but maybe I am not trying hard enough.
