A loyal reader emailed me this account of what happened when he caught a white man stealing an Obama sign out of his yard.
It’s a long read, but the point he made is that he is willing to cause great bodily harm to another human being over an Obama sign. In other words, he was willing to go to jail over a sign.
I wish I had a son who called me from jail to bail him out because he beat a man’s ass over a sign! A sign can be replaced, but there is nothing to gain from senseless violence. I totally understand the frustration. But he could have held the man until the police got there.
This is why our jails are overcrowded with our black men because they react with their hands and emotions instead of with their brains.

Subject: FW: I GOT ME AN OBAMA THIEF TONIGHT
So I’m on my way from Cookouts and I’m sitting in Carlos car bout to get out when this mini van turned around in front of my crib. The door opens up and this guy jumps out and runs up to the crib. At first I thought he was running up on us but this dude runs pass the car and grabs MY OBAMA SIGN!He could not see inside the car because the tint on Carlos car is so dark. There are certain things that just don’t happen in today’s society and TAKING A BLACK MANS OBAMA SIGN with a few days to go is one of them. Carlos yells he taking the sign! WHAT!!! So I hop out the car to see what the hell what’s up. As we meet between the cars I could see my OBAMA Sign in his hands bent the hell up. Of all the houses in this lily white neighborhood he had to pick the only black house here and I’m never at home so it had to go down school clothes on or not.
Read more after the break…
As he saw us he tried to run but the arm reach was too much for him, I grabbed him by the back of the Jacket as he tried to run and swung his ass on the ground and caught his ass with a two piece. As I got ready to stomp his butt out, his MOM jumps out the car and yells ‘stop.’ Like I said, I live in a white neighborhood so a white woman yelling would be normal but when she said she was his mom I was stunned… I could not believe this dude and his mom are riding around taking signs. I’m standing over dude and his mom is like ‘stop I’m disable.’ What was I to do with that?
That’s when Ty come out the house and calls the cops until he sees the sign and then he…. that’s when we got the camera to take pics of this madness. So I’m asking this lady why shouldn’t I beat the hell out of her son for violating my crib and taking my sign… TAKING MY SIGN…. I had to ask her does she hate the fact a Blackman is about to be president or what? and is she willing to get her sons ass beat over it! You know what she told me…. ‘I HAVE BLACK FRIENDS!’ I told her ‘ALL WHITE PEOPLE SAY THAT!’
We talk so much smack to the mom and her son they knew they where wrong. Come to find out MOMs friend had put them up too it drove them to my street, dropped them off and rolled out when the mom got out of the car. When the cops arrived… THEY ARE BLACK… 2 of them! I was talking to the mom and let her know she ain’t shit and as a Christian brother, she lucky we did not hit or hurt her son more. I just let him know don’t come in my yard unannounced and running up like that on us. This is where the cracker used his trickiness… like I said the cops came and took him aside to see his side of the story. It seems you can’t lay hands and leave marks on the face of an OBAMA SIGN thief, they called it assault! Of course he said the black guys beat him up and he did have marks on his face and he took a couple hits but no real visible damage like he should have got but none the less it is what it is. When the cops asked what happen I told them I may have been to rough with him and maybe threw one punch while resisting him from stealing my sign but nothing serious. We wanted to press charges but this bum was gonna press charges on me for hitting him. You know I don’t want that drama so I said let him go. I figured I had pics and I know he wont do no dumb shit like that again. I HOPE ALL OF YOU GUYS ARE VOTING… J Greene
