I don’t know how many of you picked up the news feed of G DUBBZ dismissing Disney/ABC’s SAM DONALDSON as a “has-been” when he asked him a question in the White House briefing room. The president was even self-deprecating at moments as he managed to not answer anything and not really even have a clue as to why he was at the podium.
The movie ‘Inconvenient Truth’ was about global warming and our government’s complicit nature for this occurrence. There will be more discussions about global warming in one week than there will be about the real inconvenient truth. Supremacy isn’t new to the U.S. or to the world. It’s the reason why Africa is so fucked the fuck up and also the reason why the Cleveland Indians mascot is named Chief Wahoo. It can be outrightly agressive as when a nation is carved into pieces by people that don’t even live there or it can be as pervasively subtle as a children’s cartoon.
How do we attack this monster? By confronting it everywhere that it exists. By telling it that we won’t drink from the Kool-Aid bowl of privilege any longer. People of color that read this blog unfortunately are powerless to do these two things and effectuate change. Only children of privilege can make this truth no longer viable. Therein lies the heart of the inconvenient truth. If all things were considered equal, from education to empowerment, would children of privilege be able to survive on the planet without their planes, tanks, bombs and guns?
