Three Degrees of Togetherness
December 30, @))^
I'm listening to my favorite radio show and they're wondering why Blacks and Latinos are killing each other when the people who determine economic policy think of both as dogs.
Yeah, I agree that some of it is hype by the media, but you have to admit, when you're thinking about it real fast, you don't factor in the manipulative aspect the people who determine economic policy play in the hate game (i.e. owning 90% of the media).
So the rest is up to us. I don't understand why we can't just discount the bullshit we're forced to read (ok, watch on TV) and treat it like it's designed to steer us away from our natural instincts to trust, help and support.
If you've never attempted not to hate the COLLECTIVE of other races, I have a fact that might explain how we're all affected by events that happen outside our control in a similar way.
Everyone over 21,worldwide,will remember where the were when one of these three people died....James Brown, Gerald Ford or Sadaam Hussein.
The news of one their deaths is important to somebody on the globe. The commonality of that feeling, whether gleeful or mournful, is the force that we should all use to put on another person's shoes, fuck walking a mile.
In order to avoid the obvious, I like the idea of defending another race. It's easier to be objective that way.
Right now my thing is those brothers behind the 7-11 counter. Since I smoke (and shit) I'm dealing with a coupla mexicans, asians and even some cats south of the hemisphere. And it pisses me off when folks start in on them. It's time to check that shit at the door.
Who are you lookin out for?
