sing to the tune of “The Twelve Days Of Christmas.”
“On the 1st day of Christmas, my country gave to me, a chronic case of slavery!
On the 2nd day of Christmas, my country gave to me, two years in jail and a chronic case of slavery!
On the 3rd day of Christmas, my country gave to me, three crack highs, two years in jail and a chronic case of slavery!
On the 4th day of Christmas, my country gave to me, four racist names, three crack highs, two years in jail and a chronic case of slavery!
On the 5th day of Christmas, my country gave to me, five lynching trees, four racist names, three crack highs, two years in jail and a chronic case of slavery!
On the 6th day of Christmas, my country gave to me, six Ku Klux Klan’s men, five lynching trees, four racist names, three crack highs, two years in jail and a chronic case of slavery!
On the 7th day of Christmas, my country gave to me, seven goons to beat me, six Ku Klux Klan’s men, five lynching trees, four racist names, three crack highs, two years in jail and a chronic case of slavery!
On the 8th day of Christmas, my country gave to me, eight cops to tase me, seven goons to beat me, six Ku Klux Klan’s men, five lynching trees, four racist names, three crack highs, two years in jail and a chronic case of slavery!
On the 9th day of Christmas, my country gave to me, nine racist judges, eight cops to tase me, seven goons to beat me, six Ku Klux Klan’s men, five lynching trees, four racist names, three crack highs, two years in jail and a chronic case of slavery!
On the 10th day of Christmas, my country gave to me, ten ‘lords’ to pray to, nine racist judges, eight cops to tase me, seven goons to beat me, six Ku Klux Klan’s men, five lynching trees, four racist names, three crack highs, two years in jail and a chronic case of slavery!
On the 11th day of Christmas, my country gave to me, eleven thugs a rapping, ten ‘lords’ to pray to, nine racist judges, eight cops to tase me, seven goons to beat me, six Ku Klux Klan’s men, five lynching trees, four racist names, three crack highs, two years in jail and a chronic case of slavery!
On the 12th day of Christmas, my country gave to me, twelve Nazi guardsmen, eleven thugs a rapping, ten ‘lords’ to pray to, nine racist judges, eight cops to tase me, seven goons to beat me, six Ku Klux Klan’s men, five lynching trees, four racist names, three crack highs, two years in jail and a chronic case of slavery!” – now repeat real loud! “And a chro-nic case of SLĀĀĀ-VER-RĒĒĒĒĒ!”

Now start celebrating this goddamn bullshit! Decorate the fucking tree. Wish every damn body a Merry fucking Christmas, gorge yourselves on a butchered pig, while becoming one, and then open up yer debt! Even if you’re drunk, you’ll recognize it; it’s plastic and its made in overseas sweatshops! So do the corporations a big huge favor; buy, buy, buy and then when it’s all over, throw the tree on the curb for bulk trash pickup because remember, we’re worried about the health of the planet, you goddamn hypocrites!
Good one Shelby.

I was SO serious when I wrote this, it is unbelievable and yet when I sing it back, it does sound a bit humorous, though like Prince stated, it is truth in its entirety! I am absolutely humbled by the response I have received from this one! Or maybe it’s because I’ve been silent for so long! Anyways, I thank you SO very much for liking this one nidotopianwarrior!

I think you should market a Christmas card with this. I’m serious. I’d send it out, got just the people in mind I’d send it to.
Great to hear from you, Shelby.

Oh Peter! I don’t know what to say! And it is quite an accomplishment to render a southerner, speechless! I want you to know that I am still trying to call attention to animal cruelty and please to know that no animal was butchered on my behalf so that my dinner table could be laid with pig butt or whatever part of the pig that gets turned into a ham. I tell you, pretty soon, I shall be wearing t-shirts and sweatshirts with ‘animal rights’ logos on them. I know just where to get it done!
Believe me, if I had a good singing voice, I’d attempt to put together one of those Christmas cards with this song in it. From the response here, it should most likely go over really well!
Thank you again and peace to you as well, Peter!

Shelby …….. THAT WAS MOST EXCELLENT!
Tubularsock is going to send it to the Texas School Textbook Publishers and recommend it be put in all the school textbooks as an easy way to understand the “Black Experience In America”!
Just think the amount of paper that will be saved by putting your song in and taking out all those chapters about the “American Melting-pot”!
THREE CHEERS SHELBY.

Tubularsock, your comment as well has put Shelby to the blush! Once again, I sit here grinning and blushing, furiously! I had no idea when I wrote MY version of this ‘Christmas’ song that it would go over SO well! I am absolutely flabbergasted at the response, I am, to be sure.
And of course as we all know the Texas School Textbook Publishers could surely use this seeing as how they’ve got the word out that us Black folks came over here, willingly like, as ‘PAID’ workers. Slavery? What slavery? That didn’t happen here according to those lying ass shits! Talk about ‘white washing’ history, if that don’t take the goddamn cake, I don’t know what does! It would seem that I have to correct the bastards and tell it like it IS; the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth! And I must say, “I give it to ’em GOOD and TRUE!”
Again, thank YOU Tubularsock for your comment! And again, I am over the moon!

Clearly your indoctrination isn’t working Shelby. In post racial society, the new American dream is that we all sacrifice self determination in return for cheap Smartphones, widescreen TVs and cheap fast fashion produced in Third World sweatshops.

Dr. Bramhall, thank you for relieving my mind. I was a wee bit unsure, you know. If I am going to be indoctrinated, I am going to indoctrinate myself to my way of thinking. It’s the least I can do to persevere in this climate of ‘mind control’ and pass the remote.
It is so good to know that there are others like me who refuse to ‘assimilate’; who refuse to ‘conform’. I am so glad to be in like company! And the battle rages on!
Again, I thank you for that spot on comment Dr. Bramhall. As always, you are right as rain!
