JUST STOP IT!

"Don't worry about why I got a perm...dem niggas ova der plankin!"

So, unless you have been on another planet lately, you've heard about the recent rash of "Planking" that has hit all social media outlets. For those of you vacationing on Mars, the United States has finally cought on to what was originally coined, "The lying down game." In this game, people find odd places to lie face down with their arms and hands at their sides. The participant(s) is then photographed and the photos are usually uploaded to some social media outlet for their friends and others to laugh at. Sounds harmless, right?
Well, not so much now. Why, you ask? Because, every party has a pooper, that's why we invited YOU! When I say you, I mean those that are now all of a sudden opposed to planking because of is racially "oppressive" history. My first question...why the hell did people start doing it and then research the history. Speaking as a person who heard about the craze, researched it's roots, and then participated I have to say that it is harmless!!! If we (African Americans) want to be concerned about something, let us please address the fathers that are not taking care of their children, the once beautiful black women that are now chocked full of silicone, hair weave, acrylic, and everything else God has not naturally blessed them with, and let us not forget the illiterate children we are raising that can't speak proper english but can quote everything that comes out of Niki Minaj's ass! BLACK PEOPLE... I caution you, STOP FOCUSING ON THE BULL!!! Planking is not being forced on us as a people (as it was during the middle passage). It is a game people!! It will be here today and gone tomorrow! In the mean time find another cause! Let us not get our Al Sharpton on about planking (making a racial mountain out a mole hill). We have disappointed our ancestors on so many instances and we need to focus on addressing those!
I'd rather have a "planker" represent us! 
"Mommy, this burns."

Such a problem!

Hmmmm, not so much
