Mayberry, Louisiana - The NAACP has issued a statement in which they have applauded the decision of white Justice of the Peace Keith Bardwell for his denial of a marriage certificate to an interracial couple.
They've been joined in their thanks to the Judge by the Nation of Islam, the United Negro College Fund, the Black Panthers, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
The Reverend Jesse Jackson summed it up best, as self-appointed spokesperson for all the African American groups. "Free at last, free at last, praise God Almighty, we are free to complain again at last!"
While overlooked by the mainstream media, the recession, combined with the election of the nation's first black President, has devastated the donations and bequests made to African American non-profit groups all across America, and put out of work dozens of black demagogues who had made a living off the complaints of injustice.
"It's been rough times for the past decade or so", related Al Sharpton. "We've had to become more and more strident about less and less injustice, just to meet our overhead. Obama's election was the final straw."
Indeed, the NAACP has had to close several offices, and the amount of money available for scholarships for African Americans has sharply declined. Nation wide, both blacks and white liberals have just not been as willing to donate to a cause that has seemed to many to be completely won now.
"Black America needs to get down on their knees and thank the Lord for that Louisiana judge tonight!", said Reverend Jackson. "If something as crazy as that had not happened, we'd have had to pay some cracker to do just that, just to keep ourselves - I mean, our cause - in the news."
Several dozen liberal organizations have also gave their thanks. Many have expressed that since not feeling guilty about the plight of others, life just has not had as much flavor.
