Black History Month Finally Over for Another Year

Springview, Nebraska (Just Laugh) – After a grueling four weeks of enduring the education and celebration of the impact of African Americans throughout history, residents of one of the whitest towns in America found themselves exasperatingly relieved to see the turn of the page on the calendar to welcome the springtime month of March and leave behind the drudgery of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his cohorts once again for another year.

“Do you know how many black people we have living in Springview today?” asked mayor/sheriff/KFC manager Ned Perkins. “Zero. We had one a few years back, but he just … well … I don’t really know what happened to him, but he’s gone now.”

“Anyways, these kids get plenty of exposure to black people on the TV and the Interweb and whatever – they don’t need an entire month dedicated to ’em when the chances of one walking through town are slim to bupkus anyway.”

“It’s nothing against the blacks,” Perkins added carefully. “I just don’t trust ’em and frankly I’m tired of hearing ’bout ’em.”

“Now can I get you an extra biscuit to go with that meal?” the mayor then asked with a racially tolerant grin. “My treat!”
