The reader surely knows that Harvard scientists had discovered that Blacks are smarter than Whites. And had surely seen clever African American engineers solving complicated technical problems. In Hollywood films. So how does it happen that an African American with an Ivy League PhD in Physics has to call an electrician to replace an electric switch? This simple task should be well within the qualifications guaranteed by his advanced degree. And it surely is. So why has he to call an electrician? I'll tell you why.
One night the tools gathered for a clan meeting. They wore the attire which a racist sewing machine made for them out of a white sheet. Voltmeter was the Grand Dragon.
— Damn African Americans, said Voltmeter (his dials were distorted with hatred). Harvard scientists discovered that they are smarter than Whites. How are we going to help our friends, the rednecks?
— Chop the damn African Americans in pieces, said the Axe.
— Chop them in pieces, repeated the Nuts.
— Don't be so quick, interrupted Voltmeter. Any other suggestions?
— Let me tell you a trick I came up with, said the Hammer. So far it worked pretty well. When African American is using me I hit his fingers instead of the nails. So that rednecks could say that African American has his hands growing out of his ass.
— A great idea, said Voltmeter.
— A great idea, repeated racist Sewing Machine. I'll pierce their black fingers with my needle.
— And I'll chop their limbs, said the Axe. In a way that it will look as if they missed.
— On my part I'll give them false readings on my display, said Voltmeter. So that African Americans will not be able to use the powerful intellects they show in Hollywood movies.
— And I will give them false reading on my pressure gauge, said the Pump.
Many a tool had spoken. And each one devised its own way to hamper African Americans. And they do it. The wretched tools of racism.
