Life without black people.
by Sir Vincent
Life without black people is a story told about
a group of white people who were fed up with African Americans, so
they joined together and wished themselves away . They passed
through a deep dark tunnel and emerged in sort of a twilight zone
where there was America without black people .
At first these white people breathed a sigh of relief. At last,
they said, no more crime, drugs, violence and welfare . All of the
blacks have gone! Then suddenly, reality set in . The 'NEW AMERICA
' is not America at all-only a barren land .
1 . There are very few crops that have flourished because the
nation was built on a slave-supported system .
2 . There are no cities with tall skyscrapers because Alexander
Mils, a black man, invented the elevator, and without it, one
finds great difficulty reaching higher floors .
3 . There are few if any cars because Richard Spikes, a black man,
invented the automatic gearshift, Joseph Gambol, also black,
invented the Super Charge System for Internal Combustion Engines,
and Garrett A . Morgan, a black man, invented the traffic signals
.
4 . Furthermore, one could not use the rapid transit system
because its procurer was the electric trolley, which was invented
by another black man, Albert R . Robinson .
5 . Even if there were streets on which cars and a rapid transit
system could operate, they were cluttered with paper because an
African American, Charles Brooks, invented the street sweeper .
6 . There were few if any newspapers, magazines and books because
John Love invented the pencil sharpener, William Purveys invented
the fountain pen, and Lee Barrage invented the Type Writing
Machine and W . A . Love invented the Advanced Printing Press .
They were all, you guessed it, Black .
7 . Even if Americans could write their letters, articles and
books, they would not have been transported by mail because
William Barry invented the Postmarking and Canceling Machine,
William Purveys invented the Hand Stamp and Philip Downing
invented the Letter Drop .
8 . The lawns were brown and wilted because Joseph Smith invented
the Lawn Sprinkler and John Burr the Lawn Mower .
9 . When they entered their homes, they found them to be poorly
ventilated and poorly heated . You see, Frederick Jones invented
the Air Conditioner and Alice Parker the Heating Furnace . Their
homes were also dim . But of course, Lewis Lattimer later invented
the Electric Lamp, Michael Harvey invented the lantern,and
Granville T . Woods invented the Automatic Cut off Switch . Their
homes were also filthy because Thomas W . Steward invented the Mop
and Lloyd P . Ray the Dust Pan .
10 . Their children met them at the door-barefooted, shabby,
motley and unkempt . But what could one expect? Jan E .
Matzelinger invented the Shoe Lasting Machine,Walter Sammons
invented the Comb, Sarah Boone invented the Ironing Board, and
George T . Samon invented the Clothes Dryer .
11 . Finally, they were resigned to at least have dinner amidst
all of this turmoil . But here again, the food had spoiled because
another Black Man, John Standard invented the refrigerator .
Now, isn't that something? What would this country be like without
the contributions of Black people.
Martin Luther King, Jr . said, 'by the time we leave for work,
Americans have depended on the inventions from the minds of Blacks
people.

And, not too long from now, another descendant of "Zamunda" is
about to bring something new in America, something called,
"colorless Government."
It is only Forty-seven years ago, when Obama's father and I
arrived in this country from our villages in Western Kenya looking
for something called higher education. With the guidance of one
great American lady called Cora Weiss, we were able to get
adjusted to a culture that had little in common with the one we
had just left behind. We were introduced to people who looked like
us but talked funny. We even met and danced with girls from Hunter
College, girls who did not look like the ones we were used to, but
still, looked attractive to the eye. We were somehow afraid of the
discriminating people with whom we were surrounded.
All of a sudden, we found what we had come for and a little more,
We got used to associating with some ladies who did not quite look
like us. We married some of them. One of those ladies became
mother of the young man who grew up wanting to sit into a chair
once belonged to a distant descendant of Zamunda, Abraham Lincoln
and now belonging to my man, George. For sure, we look like people
who have got something! (Khufwananga abanyoye esindu)
