A Guide to Knowing Your White Pimps.
How in the world did Acorn (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) get duped by a fake pimp? All of these black folks caught on tape getting played by a conservative suburbanite in disguise. Not since the movie ‘Soul Man' has there been such a blatant display of trickery. How do you call yourself a pimp and you don’t have any swag? How do you call yourself a pimp and you don’t have business sense? This cat walks into the Acorn office acting like it’s the first day of school. He is unsure and unsecure. Have you ever seen a pimp that looked like he wasn’t in control of the situation? He might not know what is going on but he will play it off like he does. And the person that was pretending to be his trick, are you serious? That was the saddest looking prostitute that I have ever seen. Taryn Manning looked better as a trick in the movie ‘Hustle and Flow.’
Don’t get me wrong because I don’t want you to think I’m promoting the ‘Pimp Lifestyle.’ But if you know that the Republicans are waiting for you to slip up, why wouldn’t you be more careful? The CEO should have put the word out for everyone to be on their guard. Now I know that you can’t blame everything on the CEO. Acorn is a nationwide organization and you can’t know what all your employees are doing. But you have to be a horrible employee to give business advice to someone that exploits women. Could a person really hate their job that much? But I digress……
Take a look at the video below. This is an example of a real ‘White Pimp’
So now you know Acorn.

Bag Lady

While on Vacation for our Wedding Anniversary. The lady cleaning the hotel room threw away my wife's shower cap. If you’re not married to a black woman, you might not understand the significance of that. I thought my wife was going to call up the National Guard for this “National Emergency”. We needed to shower up to eat and we didn’t have time on our side. Tick Tock Tick Tock… Well I saw my wife do something that was ingenious. She took a plastic shopping bad and used it for the shower cap. Don’t get me wrong, because it made her look like a Broke Butterfly McQueen from “Gone With The Wind”. These are just jokes people!!!!! But she did look like her though.....
But it got me too thinking: did Patricia Bath, Sarah Boone, and Sarah Goode start out that way? They were Black female inventors’ and patent owners that had created out of necessity. For a minute I was looking at something special! My wife invented a shower cap that you could carry groceries with.
Since we've returned from vacation, you would think she would be finished wearing the plastic bag. When we went to Target, she said she couldn’t find a shower cap. Hey it sounds odd to me but I’m not going to argue with her about it. You know how black women get about their hair.
