The Bump that was seen around the World...

Edit:
All though he felt that that the Obamas looked truly square as they did it, a socially astute acquaintance reminded me that the gesture is really called "The Dap." (please excuse my faux pas.........)

Give me some Dap!


Still feeling a bit giddy about Obama's success. Loved Michelle's and his display of Knuckle Love................... My Translation: It was about: “ I gotcha ya Babe, and we showed them! We'll slaps lips/spit and really break each other some off later.........”

White folks still are trying to understand us, although they mainly think they got us figured out. Every know and them, I see them using the gesture in a commercial or a geeky or nerdy comedy movie. We Black folks have been bumping the knuckles for years. Its always been a expression of affection between Black Men and Black People. The last time I did it was with my son, was when he was on his way out the door last week with friends...... For us, it meant: Peace, and Be Safe............

I have to laugh at one and anothers' analysis of the gesture as “Barack and Michelle Obama's 'fist bump of hope' shows them silly in love....” Some even got irked because he patted his wife's derrière, although hundreds of pro football players do it a million times during the season. Heyyyyy.........If she doesn't mind, then I ain't got a problem with it just as long as Obama does not get carried away with it. As usual, the uninformed has no clue and needs to chat with one of their BBFs that is real not artificial, or listen to Black talk radio............We have to challenge their view because if we followed the traditional script, there wouldn't be any of our authentic flavor in this world. It was a reminder that we still have to work on enlightening folks..............

Michelle Obama will be a guest host on "The View" on June 18 and I am looking forward to seeing her jump in the talk/gabfest with Whoop, Joy and the rest of the ladies.....Even you too, Barbara Walters.......(Self proclaimed Adulteress and @*#$ that does not know how to keep her own business to herself.....)

Personal note to Ms. Walters..........

Although you usually inject yourself in your coverage of the celebrities, and issues you reported about, I did not care, despite what the naysayers said!!! Nobody in the business could work a star and have tearing up and boo hooing like you did, Girl!! I used to have much love for you, until you had to dig down and pull out all the secrets to Super Pimp yourself...You must have been taking notes from the School of Karrine Steffans. What I want to know: Damn, is the finances that tight for you too?.........or ABC ain't paying you enough? Or do you want some attention now that Star Jones is sinking into obscurity? (Star, please make a comeback after you finish unloading the external weight!) Barbara, I just believe that some stuff needs to be left unsaid and taken to the grave, or least revealed after the casket has been buried so that the kids and grandkids can least make some money......But I forget that for you as a veteran newscaster, nobody can present your story better than you can.............
