but not for braces. Cf. Bill Cosby, in Felicia R. Lee, “Cosby Defends His Remarks About Poor Blacks’ Values,” in New York Times, May 22, 2004 (link): “These people are not parenting. They are buying things for their kids—$500 sneakers for what? And won’t spend $200 for ‘Hooked on Phonics.’”

copper-colored feet. Revelation 1:15: “And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace.” See also Theprophetess, “Black Jesus of the Bible,” 2004 (link).

Malcolm X. Kelly Brown Douglas, The Black Christ. (Maryknoll, NY: Orbis Books, 1994), p. 1: “In a 1963 interview, Malcolm X stridently proclaimed, Christ wasn’t white. Some thirty years later, especially with the emergence of the Afrocentric movement in the black community, many black scholars and church leaders are vociferously repeating Malcolm’s proclamation.” See also Alex Haley, “The Playboy Interview: Malcolm X,” in Playboy magazine, May 1963 (link).

Nigger Jesus. Cf. William Mosley, What Color Was Jesus? A Mad Economist Takes a Stroll (Chicago Heights, IL: African American Images, 1997), p. 7: “Ontologically speaking, then, Jesus is Black, for ‘Black’ blood ran in His human veins.” See also John G. Jackson, “Was Jesus Christ a Negro? A Rationalistic Review,” 1933 (link).

some 54-IQ criminal. Cf. La Griffe du Lion, “Analysis of Hate Crime,” Volume 2, Number 5, May 2000 (link): “Blacks, representing thirteen percent of the [U.S.] nation [in 1994], committed more than 90 percent of the violent interracial crime. Fifty-seven percent of the violent crime committed by blacks had white victims. Less than 3 percent of violence committed by whites had black victims. In 1994, a black was 64 times more likely to attack a white than vice versa.”

I do too. So did shock-jock Howard Stern: “I grew up the only white man in a black neighborhood.... By the time I hit seventh grade there were only a handful of white kids left in my school. That’s when the beatings began to get regular.... Half of the kids in my school were in a gang called the Five Percenters. [They] hated the white man with a vengeance. These guys would choke me and say, ‘You’ll never live to see your fifteenth birthday’—nice stuff like that.” See Howard Stern, Private Parts (New York: Pocket Books, 1996 [1993]), p. 63-5.
