Negro’s Prayer
Today, my sister gave me an really interesting article called “Negroes Prayer” I would like to share with you.
Negro’s Prayer
Back in the days of steam ships, only rich white people sailed at sea. One day while sailing, something suddenly happened to the ship and it was about to sink. Terrified, the white folks aboard didn’t know what to do.
Someone suggested that they do what the Negroes did - Pray- . However, unfortunately, no one knew what to say. So they called Tom, a black cook on the ship and asked him to pray. Tom agreed and came up on the deck to pray.
He started like this:
“Lawd one day I wuz hongry I went to da restaurant to git sometang to ate, n da sign said: FOR WHITE FOLKS ONLY. I went to da woter founin to git me some woter n da sign said FOR WHITE FOLKS ONLY. Den lawd, I went to de toiletroom and da sign said: FOR WHITE FOLKS ONLY. So lawdy Almighty, when dish hear BIG BOAT sanks, let it be FOR WHITE FOLKS ONLY. AMEN!!!!!
This gave me a big laugh for today……
Until, tommorow
peace
