Much like the slow travel of news of emancipation centuries ago, many African Americans are oblivious to this development. Which could be a good thing for the economy's sake. With the unemployment rate currently around the 10% mark. The last thing we need for the few one thousand or so employed African American workers in America, is for them to quit their jobs upon the realization that there's no need to ever work again. But at the same time, given that consumer demand is down, this news can be seen as a huge economy boost.
Black leaders across the land are urging African Americans to proceed with extreme caution in light of this announcement. Clutching a bible while scratching off a freshly purchased lottery ticket, one prominent "black leader" who requested to remain anonymous for fear of being labelled a "hater", "sellout", and "slave catcher" had this to say to NNN (Negronia News Network):
"Just because the price of gold has shot up after this announcement, doesn't mean we should start pre-ordering them Cadillac Escalades just yet, fools! Sheeeeit, wait for the KFC stocks to go up first! That's how we gon' know we really gettin' our money... Wall Street don't lie!!!"
