Jewbu! the official street wear of Homeboy-J and the diciples
This is a little conversation I had with Gina when I happened upon a "black vernacular english" edition of the bible.
BornUndrReagan86: black bible chronicles?
BornUndrReagan86: did you see that?
SylphidSeraph: nope.
BornUndrReagan86: "This second volume in the Black Bible Chronicles series is part of the publisher's effort to "bring the Word of God to our younger generation in contemporary language." Here, the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John have been changed into black vernacular. A quote from Matthew is a good example of the translation process: "Jesus was born in a little town called Bethlehem 'round the time this dude named Herod was king. Three wise brothers heard 'bout the little brother's birth, too, 'cuz it had been said a really righteous King of the Jews would be born. And King Herod was a bit upset about what he was hearing, especially when he considered himself the only king!" Depending on clientele, a useful addition to the religion collection.-- Brad Hooper
BornUndrReagan86: thats how its written
BornUndrReagan86: it's on the top of the page
BornUndrReagan86: another quote "If the target audience is inner-city black children who have unwittingly picked up Southern California surfer lingo, then this book succeeds on all accounts. That most likely NOT being the case, however, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when faced with this work."
SylphidSeraph: LOL
SylphidSeraph: get a rapper to rewrite it.
SylphidSeraph: they can have a convention on how to ghettofy the Bible.
BornUndrReagan86: then it would probably have jesus (homeboy - J) putting (bustin) a cap into Pilots (P to the L)'s head
BornUndrReagan86: instead of being crucified
SylphidSeraph: lol.
SylphidSeraph: or they'd make it into a tale of Roman (white) injustice towards the downtrodden and subjugated Jews (we all know middle eastern is close enough to black).
SylphidSeraph: and JC took the rap.
BornUndrReagan86: how the romans came in busted up homeboy-J's hood
SylphidSeraph: this is getting painful.
SylphidSeraph: heh.
