Featured Satire: The Peoples News
Submitted by ellen on Sun, 04/05/2009 - 7:34pm
One of my favorite satirical sites is The Peoples News, which describes itself as "a satirical look at the lives of Black folks....While the stories are intended to be humorous and entertaining, they are also designed to spark discussions and make people think."
Here are some recent stories:
- Undercover Democrat Michael Steele Sabotages GOP
- African Americans Thankful Multiple-Birth Mom Isn’t Black
- March 16: This Day in African-American History (1621): Samoset, a Mohegan Indian, arrives at the Plymouth Colony with a message to the Pilgrims that he thinks says "Welcome, my name is Samoset." But tragically, his prankster friend, Leroy, had actually taught him to say "Please tell your countrymen back home to come steal our land and wipe us out."
The site also contains occasional true stories that are beyond satire, such as this one about child abuse and welfare fraud that is too tasteless for me to post here.
