Obama hamburgers abroad.

I took this photograph myself on Friday (02.17.2012).  Btw, a ‘chimi’ is similar to a hamburger and I enjoy hamburgers and chimis equally.  I couldn’t tell you which is better tasting because I have a special place in my heart for each.

After my unintended discovery of the Obama Chimi and Hamburguer I immediately thought to myself of all the Obama robots who have questioned the validty of the ‘Obama plate of the day’ that was listed on the menu in a small eatery in Kenya back in February 2009.

I find it to be extensively and significantly more difficult to believe finding an Obama chimi or hamburger in the Dominican Republic than finding an ‘Obama plate of the day’ in Kenya.

The Dominican Republic is place where African heritage is rarely acknowledged.   Please note that I couldn’t care less myself.   But I remember when I was studying at PUCMM in Santo Domingo and there were a few black American girls there as well and they were always trying to convince the Dominicans that they were black (and also descendants of Africa) and not dark Indians (indigenous, not to be confused with the country India) or dark Spainards or one of the plethora or other words here used to classify degrees of differences in skin color here.

I remember one of the young black American girls was always wearing an Afro hairdo.  Everyday she was ridiculed in Spanish langauge.  She was called ugly and also a word that signifies that your hair is a bird’s nest.    This black American girl came here to this country very proud with here ugly Afro and got her feelings hurt and after awhile I told her look this ain’t the United States of America and if you want to be Afrocentric you should take your bird nest hairdo back to the States and while you are at it maybe become a lesbian.

I told her that the Dominican Republic is, at least through the retina and color standards of nearly all North Americans (Dominicans are ‘Americans’ too but not ‘North Americans’ like people from the United States of America), a country of black people or ‘all colors of black’ that are classified as being ‘black’ in the United States of America.   I told this bird nest head that you are from the States and the States ain’t never been an all ‘black’ country so what gives you the right (and nerve) to come here and try to tell a black country how to be black?  I told her that she doesn’t know jack about being black and to beat it and perhaps make a stop at one of the thousands of salons that are open for business here and straighten out the bird next.

At any rate, if Obama robots still have a problem with the ‘Obama plate of the day’ that was available for edible consumption in Kenya in February of 2009 I welcome them  to come here and I will consider treating them to an Obama chimi or an Obama hamburger.

As a consolation to all of the American women who I might have offended with this report I will offer the following photograph of a longtime friend of mine and her son (who is popularly, and comically, referred to here as ‘el hijo de Lucas’).   For some reason she sometimes wears braids (which are not popular here) but she somehow manages to pull it off with chicness.
