What if Buffy had been black?

What if she had grown up on the streets, been adopted by a team of spiritually awakened Guardians3 representing one of the twelve tribes of Israel, trained to battle evil with a big sword1 and was a famous spoken-word artist in her spare time. What if she lived in a compound with Holy Water sprinklers, drove a humvee and was in lust with a drug baron ex-Guardian Master Vampire2. What if there were secret high speed demonic subways from LA to New Orleans?

Absolutely terrible, terrible I tell you. While I respect anyone trying to write in dialect that doesn't excuse appalling grammar. Where was the editor?

I have to go lie down and laugh some more now.

1Called Isis. What? You don't name your toys?
2Where are the vampire Pomeranians?
3Who aren't allowed to swear.
