Curtis Got Slapped ©

This must be the internet sensation of the moment. An entirely black Mother writes to the superintendant of her school district with a list of demands after her entirely black son, Curtis Bowen, is slapped in "1/4 of his face" by an entirely white teacher.

Highlights;

"I am the sovereign mother, intellectual property owner, creator and caretaker of Curtis Bowen ©"

"Kiss my entire black ass"

‎"I must now heal my son who's (sic) very soul and innocence was slapped on October 19, 2010"


The list of demands,
ranging from; making a payment whenever Curtis Bowens name is sued, 2 all expenses paid family trips to Disneyland, a personal audience with Barrack Obama, and monthly jazz, drum and bass lessons from top musicians.

But the best had to be the list of things which must never happen, which included;

mysterious deaths to avoid making payments

attempts to sabotage her jazz career

and harrassment from 'the alphabet gang'

The letter has appeared in the last couple of days so there is no overall decision on whether this is real or not... it could be part of a viral campaign or written by an 'expert troll' but I'm leaning towards it being true, and some googling has started to back this up - there is a Lisa Henry Bowen in Kansas (last seen working as an academic coach and mentor) and a friend of mine found the notary on Facebook.
