TRUEST AMERICANS RISE UP!
TRUEST AMERICANS RISE UP!
"Do black people care about clean air and water" is an absurd question posed by a black-oriented, although white-owned, popular online blog.
Doesn't everyone care about such?
Shadowed beneath that absurd question, however, is the snarky commoditization of black people. This faux 'journalism, being "yellow" condescension, lumps, insults, us all.
It cleaves culturally and drives an embittered wedge into the unwary!
"Do white people care about clean air and water" should be asked, since they are the controllers of the means of production which primarily pollute!
However that, too, would be absurd.
These conveniently packaged racist constructs bombard us daily online, subliminally, forcing us to react continuously to proffered media absurdities in America's undeclared war of attrition, wherein blacks are always delineated as the "enemy."
When will it all ever end?
It will only end, when the truest Americans, blacks being among the truest, rise up and take control of the media, the government, religion, academia, charity , education, the military, and means of production!
And not a day sooner!
