Still Cooning: If the Real Jim Crow would have known then

     I ain't gone lie, that Leslie Jones bit on SNL was hilarious!  Seriously, that shit was funny as hell and well performed but most important...truthful.  Be that as it may, it was still COONING.  What's so sad about it is that it still shows and proves that my people still have not got it together.  We still are a "broken-in" people whose future seems to be obviously the cause of the next amendment to be repealed which is the 13th. Every damn time, seems like it'll never change or at least get better.  This brings me to the question; what would the real Jim Crow would have done to Thomas Rice if he'd known this would be his legacy.  I believe it's safe to say he would have killed Rice.  Can you blame him?

     Yes, Jim Crow was a real brotha who grew up in New Orleans LA and was sold quite a few times.  He ended up in Louisville KY where he worked as a stable hand in his late 60 early 70's.  Jim Crow got his limp and shoulder injury for being flogged, beaten and chained.  He's part of the Louisiana plantation tradition called the Dirty Dozens.  This is the origin of Rap not Hip-Hop.  Hip-Hop was created by DJ Kool Herc Nov. 12 1972 in South Bronx NY.  Rap was not an element of Hip-Hip until 1975.  It was created in New Orleans (Congo Square) the year 1720 from runaway slaves who were sold as 12 for the price of one.  Slaves back then wanted peace on the plantations, so did their masters.  They came up with an agreement that allowed slaves to have a week off at the end of the month.  This is how you got all that good music and great food from my hometown.
