So yesterday I'm at my cousins apartment rolling up a j. So as we're debating bout their being a black president before Mr.Obama!(Just a lil FYI Obama is the 1st black president) I turn to the TV and M.A.S.H is on. So I switch the subject, cause my cousin's fiance believes the first black president was the actual 1st president before George Washington! Some bullshit he seen on YouTube! And by watching it he becomes a believer and wants to push others beliefs on to others! Sorry folks, but honestly "On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States." You see the fact there...1789!!! My ancestors were slaves and treated as such with malicious acts, such as hanging! So there is NO WAY a black president could of existed or a black man having freedom! But I'm off subject,So M.A.S.H is on TV and I see a brotha on the show & I was actually surprised cause I had never seen a brotha on M.A.S.H. Not that I watch it cause I find the humor kinda dull and suppressed. But what was said on the show was what really caught my attention! So I hear "We could try to sell the SPEARCHUCKER" Now let me give you a lil bit of background of this scenario! Hawkeye gets a letter from his professor saying he will accept this other character (which is this Asian kid)but the professor needs 2 grand for this kid to enroll and while thinking bout tuition, books, & clothes.This other character makes the suggestion of selling the brotha! OK, so M.A.S.H takes place during the Korean War.So when I hear this I'm offended! but not cause of the word spearchucker but how is the only brotha on this show called that back in between 1972-1983 (which is how long this show lasted)How is he called that during the Korean War when asians where referred as "Gooks". But on this show, they helping this random Asian go to school to become a doctor.I'm not racist, I just don't know whether he was Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, or whatever other kind of decedents! I was just caught off guard! I didn't expect that! I wasn't offended when they was helping the asian boy go to school but to make a remark of selling the ONLY brotha on the show was kinda of racist. Well that was my random rant about nothing significantly important!
