How I got to be the Beast Page 3 Non-threatening Negro Literature: After Oprah named me, she said that since everyone was falling for Barak Obama and saying how nice he was, she thought it was my time to show that my author Russell Simmons was also very harmless. When the Wall Street Journal featured me in its Airplane Reading section, lauding Russell’s “civilizing sensibility,” I knew The Beast guys would be impressed. After all, we’re all green on the inside. That’s why Russell’s hero, Donald Trump, wrote my forward. If I can’t show that even black people can aspire to become heartless, megalomaniacal wealth-acquiring machines, how can we expect them to assimilate into American society?

Future Plans: To convince television executives that I’m a great vehicle to launch Russell’s reality television career, leading African-Americans everywhere to shell out $25 for my inspiring words.

How I’d like to be remembered: As a milestone of the decade when rich officially replaced white.
