The New Slavery
During my youth, the rise of the black activist was seen -by little old cracker me - as another phenomenon of the ball-breaking, barrier shattering, (add additional delusional rhetoric) cultural “revolution”; Angela Davis sporting an afro like a bank of low clouds over her brow, the defiant and exotic Malcolm X, the buzzed guitar riffs of Shaft and Super Fly. It was all part of the drama.
An image from that era was this black fist, denoting “Black Pride”, denoting power. Somehow, I believe the pride and power of those days bore little semblance to the bombastic swaggering of the current pretenders to the throne.
So. I propose a new symbol. One more in keeping with the posture that today’s activists apparently want their “people“ to assume.
I’ll suggest this one.
And i think I’m on target, given the supplications law suits winding their way through this country’s courts like weighted prayers to clay gods. One must only conclude that the black fist has, over time, been warped into the outstretched hand of the beggar. Let us see.
I’m going to consider all their complaints against Coke absolutely suspect, much as I continue to doubt the validity to any of the claims made against Xerox. Then, let us see, we have that suit against the Enquirer, speculated upon nicely by Mr. Anderson over at Queen City Soapbox and also being steadily tracked by Cinciblogs’ numerous updates.
And, you have to laugh at the audacity of these shakedown artists. The Raven, in his usual adroit fashion , reviles the ever audacious money grabbers latest angle ( under heading, “They Never Give Up”). How long before this inspires a like response in this city. Well, the cost of building is gonna get even higher. Frigging brilliant.
And obviously the list can go on and on. But, I’m weary of thinking of it. I have a long day ahead of me. One more wedding, than a 5 hour bar run that I hope to hell does not take me anywhere near where I might get shot at.
Believe me, when someone gets shot by your regular limo stand down by Main St., you take heed.
