Come, my turtle dove.   Let us jet off to New Yawk, so that we may dance lightly in our carbon footprint and hate on whitey:

President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama landed in New York Saturday afternoon, and after taking a helicopter from JFK into Manhattan, drove up the West Side Highway, where the northbound lanes were shut down by police for their visit, past Ground Zero, into the Village for dinner at the Village’s Blue Hill restaurant. From there, they went north to Times Square, where they went to to see a production of “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone” at the Belasco Theater on West 44 Street.

“Joe Turner’s Come and Gone” is your typical black person’s romantic drama.  Set against the backdrop of emancipated slaves fleeing the racist South (as if there’s some other “South”), nothing’s mo’ entertaining than an evening of ebonified steppin’ and fetchit dialogue.  A lead character who’s been sexually emasculated by The Man ™ and railroaded by his justice system, whose wife (cast to the winds of diaspora) decided to move on with her life cause she got tired of waiting on him to get out of jail, the only white character is a Jewish former slave trader who sows mistrust between black folk and everything works out thanks to one character who never forgot his black magic witchcraft roots:

Scene Five- In the final scene Loomis and Zonia leave the boardinghouse as it is Saturday. Bertha tells Mattie that all she needs in life is love and laughing- which they all start to do. Then Martha Pentecost [Loomis] enters with Selig looking for Loomis and Zonia. Loomis reenters with Zonia and he recounts the last decade of his life; his search for her and the heartache it has caused him. Martha tells him that she has moved on with her life because she couldn’t wait for him any longer. Martha also reveals that she had Bynum put a binding spell on her and Zonia and that is why they have come to find each other. Loomis goes into a rage and pulls out a knife. He denounces his Christian background and slashes his chest. The stage directions read “Having found his song, the song of self-sufficiency, fully resurrected, cleansed and given breath, free from any encumbrance other than the workings of his own heart and the bonds of the flesh, having accepted the responsibility for his own presence in the world, he is free to soar above the environs that weighed and pushed his spirit into terrifying contractions.” He leaves and the play ends with Bynum yelling “Herald Loomis, you shining! You shining like new money!”

How do you top that?  Protagonist finds spiritual redemption by cutting his chest with a knife (in some iterations he then smears his blood all over his face), renounces his Christian faith and abandons his former wife and daughter to the delusion of Whitey’s God.  What an odd entertainment choice for this President.

Lawdy!  I don’t think Jeremiah Wright could have said it any better.  Now put your shiny, new money in the offering plate and pass it down for the greater good.

RELATED: For criticizing this expensive, one-off trip, noted Huffin’ Glue Poster and Lightworker aficionado Mark Morford sez Rush Limbaugh has depraved gay sexual fantasies about children.  Always a classy outlet that Huffin’ Glue Post is.

To recap, saying Sotomayor’s membership in “La Raza” and comments about being able to make better decsions because of her race = You’re the racist.   Criticizing a gratuitous, climate-harming jaunt to watch a racist play means you’re a child-hungry pedophile = good clean fun!
