Excusez moi pour ceux qui ne lisent pas anglais, mais c'est intraduisible.

http://xroads.virginia.edu/%7Ema01/gran ... html#makin" name="black" target="_blank">Long before they got thru makin' de Atlantic Ocean and  haulin' de
rocks for de mountains, God was makin' up de people.  But He didn't
finish 'em all at one time. Ah'm compelled to say dat some folks is
walkin' 'round dis town right now ain't finished yet and never will
be.
Well, He give out eyes one day. All de nations come up and got they
eyes. Then He give out teeth and so on. Then He set a day to give out
color. So seven o'clock dat mornin' everybody was due to git they color
except de niggers. So God give everybody they color and they' went on off.
Then He set there for three hours and onehalf and no niggers. It was
gettin' hot and God wanted to git His work done and go set' in de cool. So
He sent de angels. http://xroads.virginia.edu/%7Ema01/gran ... html#randg" target="_blank">Rayfield and Gab'ull to go get 'em so He could
tend some mo' business.
They hunted all over Heben till dey found de colored folks. All
stretched out sleep on de grass under de tree of life. So Rayfield woke
'em up and tole 'em God wanted ,em.
 They all jumped up and run on up to de th'one and they was so
skeered they might miss sumpin' they begin to push and shove one 'nother,
bumpin' against all de angels and turnin' over foot-stools. They even had
de th'one all pushed one-sided.
So God hollered "Git back! Git back!" And they misunderstood Him and
thought He said, "Git black," and they been black ever since. Zorah Neale Hurtson, Mules and Men.

&nbsp;Dearest,
This is just part of an anthology in African-American storytelling. Zorah Neale Hurston was a former slave who pioneered what has become known as the speakerly text, that is a text which tries to translate the sound of black voice into written words.
I posted it in the humor section because I find it such a witty piece of orature.

This might be funny for us (grown ass people) but Kids aren't gonna see that this way, they might laugh but end up thinking bottom line that (reading a 9 years old kid mind's): &lt;&lt;"Niggers are lazy that's why they are Black", These Niggers would have come on time as expected by God they would have had another color other than the Black color, which is a bad color, the color of people who are lazy but more than that, Black is&nbsp;the color of people who don't respect God, and who else I know doesn't respect God ? Hummm let me see, yes : The Devil Himself ? so, Niggers are like The Devil (remember we are in Heaven meaning the Devil is lurking out there waiting his time to plot and deceive). Iam definitely sure that the Devil is Black too, because like these Niggers He doesn't respect God&gt;&gt;

Well, this is an example of what a 9 y.o Kid can elaborate in his fragile mind, you might think Iam bringing that stuff&nbsp;too far but let me tell you, the next time that kid will hear somewhere that Niggers are lazy he'll do the connection. What about that ?

Tipa, this text does not belong to "humour et Loisir", it belongs in a textbook to explain the era and the condition on which the author had lived and her frame of mind when she wrote or told her story.

Bad joke, indeed, bad joke !
