La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for May 17, 2016

just not out loud

It’s a step on a process of desensitizing the word. At this point in history, I don’t know any other word that carries so much emotional baggage that it has a power of it’s own. Black people and White people need to refuse to give that word power over them. They need to be able to laugh at it, because they aren’t just not offended by being Black, but are actually proud of it. Until that word has no more power than “Swedish” or “Japanese”, it has more power than it deserves. By the way, if anyone was going to point out that I can’t use it myself, you’re right. I can’t,

Maybe they haven’t used the “N” word specifically, but they have used substitute terms like “Kenyan Socialist”…

The world is so full of the these days.The media stirs it up, and so do the 1%. By making the 99% poorer every year we have fear and fear leads to anger and when there is no way to express That kind of anger, it comes out as hating what and who-ever you see as a good target.Stop listening to sensationalism, blame the 1% for impoverishing almost the whole of the people, and do something about it, like trying to repeal “citizens united” a more correct name would have been “The top 1% united”.No Regular Citizen ever got a chance to vote on it.

Incompetent starts with an “i”; not “n”.
