Mobilizing the Insanity

Have you ever stopped to think about what it all would would like without mobilization. This is a quick check to see if you are really thinking. Of course you have not. Even if you believe in evolution you know that things, no matter what they are, have always moved. Always.
But I am not here to talk about the way things used to be. We are in the here and now, probably not talking about anything any of you care about. I am here to ramble. Kind of like Led Zepplin but without all of the pills and alcohol and certainly without the outer reaches of Tolkien novels. How many of their songs have to do with Hobbits and Elves?
Enough about people who work at Wal-Mart. We are only here to support the big ones baby. Those special little people who sit in the back of the classroom and answer all of the questions. Those malicious white people. Sure, I am one of them but nobody wants to talk about that. Nobody wants to talk about how white some white people are. Just that they exist, all people exist. We are all just as happy as can be because we do not see color, we see the inner beauty of every person here on earth.
Hogwash. You, just about every one of you who reads this knows about Jena. And you are thinking about how everything is just fine and dandy down there because the law will take care of it. If only the whole issue of race were that easy. We are talking 400 years of built up angst between races. No, this goes back 5,000 years or more. But we will just stick with the former number simply because that works well with America. Yeah we had Martin and Malcolm and Rosa say some stuff and ride busses and go on some marches. But that does not take care of 400 years of slavery. That kind of thing does not just go away. There are still plenty of people alive that remember having to drink from a filthy water fountain because there was a water only bad enough for blacks. That stays in a person's blood and carries on to another generation and this goes on and on until people forget. But you see, people only forget experiences if they are mediocre. If the experience was horrible or fantastic they do not forget. When was the last time a black person had a fantastic time with whites? Sure, I bet they occured but if you are not black you tell me when you had a fantastic time with a black.
Do you have that kind of relationship with a member of a different color group? If not I think you may want to look at how you view race. Your own Race.
