    ALL of Us are needed to keep President Obama in office

    And He was saying to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

     (Luke 10-2 (NAS) 

    By Bobby R. Henry, Sr.

          To those who might take offense to the word that I have chosen to use for inclusiveness of all, we need to get President Barack Hussein Obama reelected, step aside and try understanding that the word is not one dimensional.

         As I was listening to the Rap group No Limit Soldiers, with Master P, Silkk the Shocker, Soulja Slim and C Murder’s song titled I’m a Tru Nigga, I immediately had to come up with an acronym that could be accepted by those who would rather die and go to hell than to be associated with being called a true nigga; even though in conference and board rooms across America we are referred to as such and in some upper circles Nigga is substituted for the 47 presenters.

         “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” What this is saying is: what matters is what something is, not what it is called and this comes from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, 1600s?

         “I’m a Tru Nigga is such a fitting nomenclature for those of us who refuse to be assigned to an outcast status and forced to answer to it.

         Yet, like a hired gun when someone is needed to clean up a mess, you call on me without reservation.

         We came out in real numbers with our pants saggin, gold teeth flashin and wearing our cologne of choice reeking that of wild weed.

         We stood in lines for hours while being subjected to the stares and jeers of those who perceive themselves as being better than us. Knowing all of the time that they gave birth to us, but now because they have turned their backs on us -fear us.

         Ha, ha, ha now you need us!

         When you see us coming you step aside- you picture me a Tru Nigga cause a Tru Nigga don’t die!

         We are No Limit Soldiers and we got your back, so don’t be scared to ask us.

         Allow me to bring some comfort to the apparent discomfort from the association of our relation.

         The cause has galvanized our reemergence to come together and unify singing in harmonic splendor: “Hey Prez we got your back so don’t give up the fight. We knew it was going to last for more than 40 days and 40 nights.”   

         Yeah we need the Tru Nigga!

         If it reassures you when you see us coming, move out the way but come on to the projects, visit us on the corners-you know the ‘Hood so don’t act like you don’t.

         We have not all arrived yet; some of you have chosen to leave us behind but as God would have it, we ALL need each other now.

         Yes we need Soldiers, all kind of souljers, No Limit Soulja, Sista Souljah, Buffalo Soldiers and Ride To Die Tru Soulja!

         We need all our Souljas marching to the polls from now ‘til Nov. 6, 2012 to vote against everything that represents living in hell!

         Now to put those minds at ease that may have an uneasy, unethical, unrealized phobia about a Tru Nigga. A Tru Nigga is the TRUTH about a Natural Inspiration God Given Aspiration.

         To my brothers and sisters who have lost their right to vote, since you can’t vote now-take someone to the polls. If you can’t meet me at the polls take me there!!

                Don’t be fooled by the hype: what matters is what something is, not what it is called.
