Concerning the "Race" of current "politics"
Tonight on The Ed Show on MSNBC there was a clip on an African American caucus (what does the word white caucus imply?). Its leader, a woman, was saying how she and they would not abandon Barack Obama because after all, he was the Country's first Black president. What does this mean. It's oppressive, so was the weight of another program with an African American conductor recalling how Michelle Obama's past disappointment in her Country was criticized, while Michelle Bachmann's same comment was not, and from what extremely different experiences these comments come forth. It's oppressive. And stupid. Michelle Obama's comment was voiced from the side of the victim of an unimaginable crime. Bachmann's of the criminal who committed it. To imagine the abomination of slavery, the isolation, the weaving of that immense violation in the cultural consciousness of so many different peoples. What does it mean to support a president only because of his "race"? I've never seen myself as white, I've never seen myself as being anything other than me, I've never accepted anything other than merit as a parameter. But I still remember the shock when I was called a "wop"the first time. It didn't lead me to calling the person who said that anything comparable. I said nothing. To a comment so unconnected to any scale of values one can only say nothing. There is no "racist" language, it's only a pseudo language with no connections to reality, but a pseudo culture that centers itself around a victim, who by necessity is the other's imagination. Hence the cliches'.
I could say slavery has been around for millennia, with Greek kingships that warred with one another and enslaved the vanquished, to those of other cultures, Egyptian, Hebrew as a temporary state of seven years determined by crimes committed. Still.African cultures assaulted neighboring villages or abducted them when vulnerable selling them to slave traders, if not being their owners themselves. Turks were slavers of Europeans.And this is a smattering of inhuman behavior. We have to attest to its new formation here in the States, the Tea Party, or 20% of the population of the United States, who say they favor it. I see it only as a criminal matter. What jars me though is hearing comments such as we are not a Post Racist society by the African American conductor because again, that's creating a society out of a pseudo society, or a commonality of criminals. Why should I see violent prevarication and the victimization of others based on "race" by a criminal anything other than it is? There are mass murderers in this world. They're easy to see and understand as criminals, how isn't a racist and a slavist when destruction and harm of the victimized other is posited by them?
I can't relate to the President. Besides doing well for himself, as his wife says,he's cut Social Security cost of living increases for two years already, claiming that costs did not rise. Most everything at the supermarket is at the $5.00 starter price. Unions are asked to sacrifice, workers are out of jobs, Pell college grants now cover 1/4 of the costs of school while twenty years ago they covered half. School loans are repayable immediately. 500,000 Federal, State and Local Public jobs have disappeared and we know, because we are not fools, that it's a progression leading to the elimination of the Federal Government in favor of a Secessionist, criminal State system. Members elected to Congress are dismantling the Government. Trade systems like Clinton's NAFTA harmed U.S. industry, as sustaining off shoring does as well. Goods are shoddy and made of cheap breakable plastics and nothing has the longevity it once did. Services like computer programs and cable are priced outrageously high, old models replaced by new models so quickly one can hardly keep up with the pace. In Texas 71% with no health insurance have jobs and 700 billion has been allotted to nuclear build-up while 647 has been cut from an agency that secures enriched uranium for sale on the world's black market by keeping it away from terrorists. There are planned cuts to the military: they haven't contributed much to the people on the super budgetary committee, while financiers have. Let's hope they did so out of a sense of civic duty, not to collect favors from elected representatives. We need to secure equality for all again as the ruling principle for the social, cultural and economic bases of our country, and it must be done with strength and efficacy. It's jobs for people, not people for jobs. I don't see this president doing anything other than contributing to the dismantling of the public sector, when the public sector in any country must be strong. You want to destroy the country, destroy its government. The true measure of a country is how its economically disadvantaged are treated, and we're not doing very well in this soon to be banana republic. So the president doesn't represent me, but for now the privileged.Cuts are bad for the economy not good. I thank him for being concerned about unemployment benefits, but they should be higher and last until the person has secured another job. That'll be a stimulus to work on jobs for the ungenerous. All these not so new developments weaken us and make us vulnerable to the enemy. So, as much as you can, stock up, put up a fight,don't fix anything of the enemy's, don't take no for an answer, don't take a false yes for one either and we can win this thing and turn things around in a better New Deal than the last one. Oh, and if Texas received 17 billion in stimulus money, and Perry is taking the credit for it, we gave the money to the wrong people and businesses again. Why not stimulus businesses public sector and people who are for equality, since equality is legality, and that means affording a decent living wage for everybody who shares and sustains those beliefs. You've got 20% of the population that is willing to bleed us dry if we let them, and will recriminate and destroy the very existence of this country's tenets of democracy, equality, and civil rights if you give them half a chance.Stop helping them.
The sad part is how you help them when you assume all of Texas is of the same mind, or how it's plausible that a Nazi or a Klans man or anybody with a supremacy complex can be elected to any post lower than the presidency, and if he does make it to the presidency, then he's just shutting up.Or how a Nazi can only originate in the Republican Party. Then it's bias and cliched thinking that kills the country, not the country that kills bias and cliched thinking. How hard is it really to react with indignation to these criminals and not call the authorities when they first try to organize? Moreso, WHY?
tired of trite, bored by braggadocio, left and right puzzle alike? here.s a social satire and culture blog testing strained ethics all pre2010 posts stolen. I prohibit relatives, their fans from: me, contact, all administrative claims to decisional power or profit from info about me, in manners life, legal, medical, wear, social, intellectual or work, property, body, organ disposition, postmortem, alien to me. post hacking, slander is constant for slavery, torture and death also mine.
