From the Department of “You have got to be kidding”

The Nation of Islam has a sports blog (Hat tip: Three Sources) and it is a riot. I thought the nonsense at the Stormfront (not linking, I tired of their schtick when I linked to them last time) site was offensive and ridiculous. Get a load of this (which at first I thought might be parody):
White devils on ice. Whirling dervishes on skates. White athletes propelled and assisted by physics to speeds they can not reach on land. The ice. The last refuge and hiding place of the white athlete.
Relegated to minority status in most team sports, the white athlete has retreated to frozen water as a means of preserving his one “major” remaining sports league. Knowing full well the Negro athlete has a traditional distaste for performing on or in water. After all, it was across a great body of water the Negro was shanghaied and stolen.
Hey, wasn’t Al Campanis fired for saying something about African Americans and water?
As Negroes, we turned our attention to NASCAR, hoping that Jay-Z or Carmello Anthony would invest in the future of Negro America by developing a racing team to return the world of autoracing to the original human. While our eyes were diverted, the white devil sprung into action.
Hockey players agreed to pay cuts. A new network was conjured to carry the “sport”. And, like the rebirthed spawns of satan, the return. Brawling, bearded and unevolved monoliths reappeared from the frozen northern wasteland.
For those not getting it, the original human is one of African ancestry and the unevolved are white people, though by the terms own reckoning aren’t we all of African ancestry? It seems the view is that whites and other races are being driven from sports because of their inherent inferiority.
Check out the first post from this pocket of racial hatred:
A resounding “good day” from the Nation of Islam, as we pursue or path of righteousness and brotherhood by venturing into the world of sports.Anticipate a view of the sports world through the eyes of the original members of the Tribe of Shabazz.
As the original humans, the view through our eyes is the only authentic view.
In the words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad: “We don’t hate white folk. We just don’t like ‘em much.”

Still not offensive as Stormfront, eh?
Maybe you haven’t been to enough “Kill Whitey Parties” lately?
Lance, I think your first instinct was right. It seems obviously satirical.
I wasn’t sure until I read the comments, but I don’t think it is.
qwerq,
Actually I think it is as offensive as Stormfront, but it is much funnier.
It certainly sounds like parody, but it isn’t really any weirder than the little flyers with all the cartoons about the coming race wars I used to find from the Nation of Islam. If it is parody, then some of the comments are really interesting.
However, check out this:

So if it is parody, it is right on the mark.
Read this one about the Bears receivers and tell me it’s serious. Or the one that announces that Stephen A. Smith is bringing his show to the blog. Humor!
And speaking of the Bears, does their beatdown of the Saints today mean that Hurricane Katrina has already won?
As I said, then it is dead on. I keep going back and forth. It should be parody for sure, but as I said, I still remember things far weirder from their little cartoon based flyers. Pictures of flying saucers carrying out attacks in the coming race war. So no, the Bears piece seems pretty right to me. The Stephen A. Smith one I missed, and gives me pause, so I swing your way pending more evidence;^)
No comment.
