Reading interesting articles


The Angry Man

 
 
Lately, I’ve been reading some pretty interesting articles in the newspapers; and I‘ve noticed some pretty interesting advertisements on buses, billboards, and television. I must say that “We, the people,” have really matured, as far as coding Black Americans.  

Most people miss it, except the ones who understand codes, symbols, and, of course, the audience that enjoys the pleasure of feeling supreme. Like the Romans with their arena for sports and play, the victims, the inferiors, the outcasts were always challenged, for pleasure, for sport, and for play. Those in the audience understood, or overstood with enjoyment and fulfillment. 

An article in the San Francisco Chronicle, by Eric Schellhorn, “What Color is a Hero?” brings to focus a sculpture of white firefighters “hoisting” a flag of the United States. The argument was about the actual color of the firefighters representing 9-11.  

The articles about Enron are just taking up space, because we know they were crooked, just like PG&E, AT&T, and other monopoly capitalist conglomerates. The powerfully rich have been doing what they have done for centuries—all the way back to the Big Four of the railroads, with the help of the government. You thought companies and politicians changed? The problem is that poverty means nothing to you until trouble knocks upon your door.  

What is so hypocritical to me is a supposedly nation that asks for “a day of pray” are engaging in the very behavior that it’s suppose to be against. With all this deception about War on Terrorism, you never thought, “Why are they bombing up those opium ranches?” All the caves, etc., why aren’t the opium spots being missed?  Power, money, territory, drugs. Maybe we have yet to hear the truth behind one war we fought for. But we are focused on trials, Enron, patriotism, etc. All smoke screens to keep us from the truth, as usual. []
