CONSIDER THIS A TIP OF THE HAT TO ONE OF THE BEST AT THE ART OF CONDESCENSION. BY THE WAY, “OPRAH, BE A GOOD LITTLE SOCIALIST AND GIMME 10 MILLION DOLLARS FOR ALL THE PAIN AND SUFFERING IN MY LIFE, YOU HAVE TO DO IT, BECAUSE MY SUFFERING IS SPECIAL, AND IS THE WORST SUFFERING IN THE WHOLE WORLD!
I like Seals music. He has a voice like an angel and a presence that fills the stage completely. I am less sold on Oprah. Now that I have been made more aware of her knowledge of Weinstein’s palavering with young , old, and all that lies between. I am peeved.
Oprah has always represented the “In” crowed that excluded me and those of my ilk, (my ilk was poverty, and the wrong side of the tracks). The hubris and hypocrisy of the limousine-libs that always take the posture that will serve there need for approval while condescending all to others to oblivion.it is the amazing capacity of the human to remain safely ensconced in his own shell while others are suffering all around. While Oprah is trading face paint with Weinstein in the above pik, thousands of the a third world, (woman’s 3rd world), traded as cattle, raped at will, sold and physically muillated in the most intimate way. In the most brutal manner imaginable; wait for sensitivity to turn into courage. They wait to be rescued.
I have five daughter’s now, and much grey hair peppered in my old brown locks. I fear for their wellbeing. Not the color of dress the celebs choose to wear to the Grammys because of Weinstiens wanger wranglin’.
Every bodies going to wear a black dress. Everybodies going to write a confessional, everyone will feel exonerated. If I am lucky my wandering child will have a safe place to lay her head. I miss her so. So the limo libs drive by in silent cars, we see bits of their faces in the tinted windows, and they will look valiantly forward as they feel so much the hero for having cut a donation check or delivered a lecture for an overinflated fee.
What is a micro-aggression?
But distance, to a limo-libber is the saving grace. Yes it’s true that whenever one of the rich and famous gets an urge to eat Chinese they can just jump of one of their planes and pop over to Hong Kong for a bite. If they want some real privacy they just buy an island.
But what will mute the caterwauling about the fate of the lefts genitalia? What will happen to their ever important quest for marriage between entities naturaly ill-matched for mating! (You know, marriage between a human and a house plant. Will the screams of thousands of children and young teens experiencing genital mutilation be heard over the whining for the 15 dollar minimum wage to flip burgers?
In the real world the taste of reality is in the air. Cancer has visited this house. Another child, 25 years old has come up missing and I am on oxygen.
By the way, does “fuck off!” fit the mold for micro aggression?
Some good will be done. Some waste will happen,….. but the perversities of the “privileged few” will go on. HO HUM………………..bug?
And along the road stood those who had been injured many years ago. As pilgrims passed by, they ran from the ditches and woods. They would join in a plaintive wail that would grow in frenzy till each in turn would begin to tear the scabs from their old injuries. They would stand arms outstretched begging for help or screaming their rage at the injury they had suffered so many ages ago. But the Scab Pickers neither looked right nor left. They knew no other way. They stood making themselves bleed. The Pilgrims would pass by, giving alms as they trekked toward their destination. The scab pickers stood, bleeding but never moving toward the future.
Never to heal completely.
It is common experience that it is incumbent upon persons of authority or privilege to be responsible to the power to influence the behavior of others by being particularly careful with words that incite, such and die, death, kill, etc. Is money the birth of Hubris? Do we not care where we toss lit matches?
