Mean

Only good news coming from the COVUD 19 Pandemic: the Penis Monologues was cancelled.

The rules are probably racist, or prejudiced, or hierarchical, or mean, or outdated, or inefficient, or maybe the rule is just a downer.

(Today, the even the Official GamePlay directions in Uno are said to 'harsh' the collective buzz.)

Humility? You was simping.

Loyalty? Damn, you was tricking.

Forebearance, steadfastness and constancy? Shit, just say you status quo and go, bro.

We live in a time when using common decency is being a "basic bitch" and quitting is a "YOLO glow up."

And what is failing?

What does it mean to fail vs to meet standards today, when the only "failure" that we can all agree on is the failure of "existing standards."

Values are changing. It's fascinating to watch American "protestant values" go out the window with its erstwhile bedfellows - the dual frauds of Republican conservatism and Christian morality in real time.

The only collective value America ever had or shared was: Get Rich or Die Trying.

Now, it's just Be Rich or Die.

Didn't Bernie:

Say that the Super delegates were “un democratic” when Hillary won?

Claim that Obama needed to be primary-ed? 

Admit that he voted for the 1994 Super Predator Crime Bill??

Oh - Ok. 

The White Media: Bait and switch

"AFRICA," the headline blares. "Whatever you thought, think again," it chastises.

National Geographic magazine editors, you have some fucking nerve.

"Whatever we thought" was based on the racist, imperialist propaganda that is constantly pushed own our throats as children, by this magazine and its anthropologists, and has been for the past 100 years.

Stop asking why people don't go to church. We all know, that too often, church is the Main protector of all that is unholy.

"It’s important, therefore, to know who the real enemy is, and to know the function, the very serious function of racism, which is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining over and over again, your reason for being.

Somebody says you have no language and so you spend 20 years proving that you do.

Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is.

Somebody says that you have no art so you dredge that up.

Somebody says that you have no kingdoms and so you dredge that up.

None of that is necessary.

There will always be one more thing.[...]

You don’t waste your energy fighting the fever; you must only fight the disease. And the disease is not racism. It is greed and the struggle for power. [Audience member murmurs in agreement]

And I urge you to be careful. For there is a deadly prison: the prison that is erected when one spends

one’s life fighting phantoms, concentrating on myths, and explaining over and over to the conqueror your language, your lifestyle, your history, your habits.

And you don’t have to do it anymore. You can go ahead and talk straight to me."

-Toni Morrison, From Portland State University’s Oregon Public Speakers Collection: “Black Studies Center public dialogue. Pt. 2,” May 30, 1975

Morrison’s speech is entitled “A Humanist View
