As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
In a most interesting review of a near 40 year old memoir from 1979, the physician and friend of Hubert Humphrey had a marvelous eyewitness position of history. This story is from Obama Kenya and involved Vice President Johnson, as a guest of President Jomo Kenyatta of Obamaland Kenya.
They were all seated at the banquet and a black waiter dressed in their white jackets slipped behind the President and flooded him with African vegetable soup. Kenyatta was outraged and leapt up, grabbing his flyswatter as the flies were heavy in the air, and started beating the hell out of the black waiter as Kenyatta brushed off the soup form his own white Mao jacket.
All the guests were horrified beyond disbelief and a tense state dinner continued.
After all the entertainment had finished in flyswattering the darkies, Humphrey asked the press to not report it, as the incident would help no one. Ebony magazine though provided a detailed account of it to their black American readers, leaking the story out.
This was Obama Kenya. This was not them white folks, but Obama's own kind doing what came natural to them. If not for Edgar Berman, having the honesty to report what it was like for Vice President Humphrey in the things he endured, this story would have passed away unknown, and we would be left to believe only the Obama turban head fiction which we all so enjoy.
This is a short story, but it is well worth noting again for it's historical value.
