It's only the second week of the month of February, and I pine for it to be March. It is not because I hate Mardis Gras, oh no. I like the celebration of debauchery and excess. It is because this month is Black History Month. This month is basically supposed to be a big ole black-palooza, complete with a scanty history of how we got here and what we intend on doing. The only problem is that we lost focus. Instead we are watching poorly done movies, listening to people who claim to be our leaders, and not turning off Black Embarrassment Television. What our ancestors wanted for us was to stand by a white man, not separate ourselves all together. But yet, it seems to be more fashionable to do so. In fact, I dare say that some people make more money from this separation. People like Louis Farrakhan. Oh dear sweet (fill in deity here) how I dislike that man! He preys on the broken, downtrodden, and then uses the already festering(and misplaced) hate that most of the poor saps have and uses it to fuel his quest for power.
Then there is another baka by the name of Jessie Jackson. I do not know where to begin with this man. Not in least, so I will let it go before I burst a vein or something. Oh wait, I know. The case where the young woman who was harming herself in prison accused jailers of raping her. JJ leaps into the fray and screams racism, only to find out that he was wrong. And no, he did not apologize.
As I was saying, these people pander to the basest thought of people, and make a dollar off of it. They take the bloody corpse of self imposed bigotry, drag it through the streets and then beat it with the crooked bat of stupidity. And then tell us how we should fight the man and basically commercialize Black History Month.
I don't think so. What about making sure that people in horrible conditions are able to take care of themselves, that homeless people can actually find a place to live, and that more black men graduate instead of go to jail? How about telling people we should rely on common sense instead of assuming that the church is going to "heal it all"?
I guess no one thought of that.
Well, except me.
