Journey’s, Dumb N****rs, “N*GGA PLEASE? NAW NINJA, PRESIDENT PLEASE,” and You
“On Oct 17, 2008, a young man went to “Journey’s” show store in Kansas City, MO (some accounts of this story say it happened in Kansas City KS…Oak Park Mall). He bought a pair of shoes and then saw an identical pair at a different store for less.? As such, he bought the identical shoes from the cheaper store and took back the original more pricey pair to Journey’s. Later on that night, as he was reviewing the receipt, he noticed that the reason for the return was “Dumb N*gger”. When he took the receipt back to the store, they didn’t even apologize but did admit that the “reason” was in the system.”

“This store is a retail chain for whom you may be a regular customer. There is power in the almighty dollar. Just something to consider. Please pass it along…”

In more cheerful news…
Presidents in New York are replacing the “N-word” with “President.” President please? Yes my prez.
The President Please mission statement:
“President Please is a non-profit organization dedicated to the abolition of “the N-Word” and it’s replacement with the word “President”.
We’ve been deeply inspired by Barack Obama, whose led the entire country down a new road to freedom and self-empowerment. Since we finally have an African American in the Oval Office, there is no better time for the black community to embrace a new optimism. We hope that this website will inspire hope, change, and a renewed positive attitude which we can carry into the future. Our dream is that every child born after January 20, 2009 won’t ever hear the N-Word.
Who’s with us? Where my Presidents at?”

OMG! I love the “president” thing!
This is an intriguing comedic revolution branching from a significant historical event. Though I don’t believe this movement will carry far, the concept still illustrates the indelible influence of Barack Obama on the African-American community.
